Chapter 1551
Empress Medusa leaned against the edge of the hot spring pool. She gently cupped the spring water with her fair hands and poured it over her flawless skin.
Gu Chen sat on a stone chair in the courtyard and poured himself a cup of tea. He was indifferent to the beauty in front of him.
"Her Majesty has come to visit so late at night. It seems that the messenger sent by Lin County is you," Gu Chen said casually.
"Frined Gu is so smart. I haven't even told you why I'm here, and you already know."
Medusa giggled. She was clearly praising him, but it sounded like she was coaxing a child.
Gu Chen shook his head. Medusa was originally from Lin County. Moreover, Fang Shiyang said that the messenger from Lin County would arrive tonight or tomorrow. It would be strange if he couldn't guess it.
He was not narcissistic enough to think that such a vicious beauty was here to seduce him.
"According to the original agreement, the meeting will be held in this outer world. As for the time and location of the meeting, it will be up to you, Frined Gu."
"Once Frined Gu has thought it through, let me know. I will go back and report to Lord Daoist."
Light flowed in Medusa's eyes. Under the steam, her pretty face was as red as an apple.
"In that case, Lord Daoist Lin has either arrived in the outer world or is in the closest Seven Realms," Gu Chen guessed.
"Of course. Lord Daoist Lin attaches great importance to this meeting and has arranged it long ago."
Medusa's lips curled up. Her words seemed to carry a hidden meaning.
"Oh?" Gu Chen narrowed his eyes and put down the teacup in his hand. "Judging from Her Majesty's tone, it seems that she has something to say."
Medusa blinked. "Isn't Frined Gu always very smart? You can guess."
Gu Chen couldn't help but think of the warning from the Copper Coin of Destiny.
"Could it be that Lord Daoist Lin has come with ill intentions?" he asked.
Medusa smiled. She neither admitted nor denied it. She changed the topic. "Has Frined Gu heard of the story of the wolf pack and the wolfhounds?"
Gu Chen shook his head, not knowing what he meant.
"The story goes something like this. A long time ago, in a certain forest, a pack of wolves ruled over a huge territory, and the wolves were unwilling to submit to each other. They all wanted to be the alpha wolf, so there were endless conflicts, and the forest was in a foul atmosphere."
"Later, a wolfhound came to the forest. It thought that it was a wolf and wanted to take advantage of the discord among the wolves to occupy a territory in the forest."
"But wolves are creatures. They can be at odds with each other, but they will never allow weaker beings to covet their territory."
"How can a fake wolf share its territory with them? With this in mind, the wolf pack ended their feud and killed the overconfident wolf dog. Peace was restored in the forest from then on. "
Medusa's story was very short. After she finished, she looked at Gu Chen with a smile.
Gu Chen's pupils suddenly constricted as he said coldly. "You mean, I'm that wolfhound?"
Medusa retorted with a smile. "Aren't you Frined Gu?"
"Of course not. I'm at least a tiger. If the wolves want to kill me, at least a few of them will die." A chill surged in Gu Chen's eyes.
"It's good to be confident, but I'm afraid that your ambitions will not be fulfilled …" Medusa shook her head.
"Why are you telling me this? Aren't you afraid that I'll run away and leave you to bear the consequences? "Gu Chen frowned. He did not understand Medusa's intentions.
She worked for Lin Daojun and came here to invite him, but told him that this was a Hongmen Banquet. This would not benefit her at all.
"Frined Gu, do you still remember what I said when we were separated from the seven realms?" Medusa's eyes twinkled.
Gu Chen could not help but recall a scene in his mind.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, if you want to be a person above others, you will always need allies. You can consider me."
"Are you talking about Empress Medusa of Linjun?"
"No, just myself."
That was what Medusa told Gu Chen at that time. It seemed that she was planning to be herself today.
"This information is valuable. Thank you for your reminder, Your Majesty." Gu Chen understood Medusa's intention.
"Since you already understand, what are you going to do next? Escape from the outside world? "Medusa asked curiously.
"They're already here. Is it too late to leave now?" Gu Chen raised his head and stared coldly at the sky.
"It's hard to say. I don't know the specific deployment." Medusa shrugged.
"In that case, let's meet for a while. This way, Your Majesty will be able to explain it when you go back." Gu Chen withdrew his gaze from the sky and said calmly.
"You're really bold."
There was a hint of admiration in Medusa's eyes. She waded ashore and came to Gu Chen's back naked.
She stretched out her hands and hooked them around Gu Chen's neck. She licked her lips and whispered in his ear. "Frined Gu is a hero, but this meeting is very dangerous. Why don't you let me serve you tonight? Who knows, I might be able to continue the Gu family's lineage."
"Three days later, we'll meet at the Chaos Transit Window that connects the outside world and the Realm of Five Elements. Your Majesty can go back and report to Lord Daoist Lin." Gu Chen pressed Medusa's hand that was about to mess around and said coldly.
"Meet at the Chaos Transit Window?" Medusa was slightly stunned.
Gu Chen decided too quickly and decisively. After all, she had just told him how dangerous the situation was.
She thought that he would spend at least one night thinking about the specific response.
Looking at the deep and calm eyes of the man in front of her, Medusa realized that the man's growth had probably exceeded her imagination.
"Not a wolf dog, but a tiger?"
Medusa gave up on teasing Gu Chen. She walked to the scattered clothes on the ground and picked up her underwear.
"I'm looking forward to seeing how Frined Gu gets through this."
She put on her clothes and bowed to Gu Chen with a smile. "Goodbye."
She left to report to Lord Daoist Lin. At this time, Chi Chong came out of the room.
"Master, is what that witch said true? Lord Daoist Lin doesn't want to cooperate at all. Does he want to destroy Ba Jun? "
Chi Chong said uneasily. It heard the conversation between Medusa and Gu Chen clearly.
"I was too naive."
Gu Chen smiled self-deprecatingly. "I thought Lord Daoist Lin would choose to cooperate with me because of his conflict with Xing County. I didn't expect that in the eyes of the Daoists, even if I killed Lord Daoist Lei, I still don't have the right to be on equal footing with them."
This was all a trap. Lord Daoist Lin had invited him into a trap, and the outside world was the trap.
"Master is a genius. Isn't Lord Daoist Lin too full of himself?" Chi Chong said indignantly.
"I'm afraid it's not just one Daoist Lord who thinks so."
Gu Chen rubbed his nose. According to Medusa's tone, he might have to face more than just Lord Daoist Lin this time …
"How many Daoists are here? Is the Fang Family involved too?"
"They're really overestimating me by mobilizing so many people."
