Chapter 326: The Blood Drop Has Lost Its Appeal

Gu Fei’s heart leaped. ’Something’s wrong,’ she thought. ’This atmosphere feels off.’

She took a flustered step back, instinctively wanting to break the mood. She hastily cut Xiao Yu off, saying, "Young Master Heir, you’ve helped me so much all this time, and I have no way to repay you."

"I know the Young Master Heir has always wanted the Blood Drop I have. I’m willing to give it to you for self-defense."

After she finished speaking, Gu Fei’s heart pounded in her chest. She looked up at Xiao Yu and saw that he seemed a bit stunned. She quickly added, "I only ask that the Young Master Heir never reveals that you got this from me."

’She had received too many favors from Xiao Yu. It would be good to repay the debt once and for all.’

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment before he realized what Gu Fei was saying. His train of thought had been unconsciously derailed by her, and his brow furrowed. "I don’t want that thing. Didn’t you say you swore an oath to your master?"

Gu Fei took another step back. "That was just an excuse to put you off, Young Master Heir. I was afraid that if this thing got out, it would cause huge trouble."

Xiao Yu was both amused and exasperated. ’This girl,’ he thought. ’She sounded so sincere back then, I actually believed her.’

Gu Fei looked up. "Young Master Heir, come with me."

Xiao Yu’s heart had been full of melancholy, but with Gu Fei mentioning the Blood Drop, he even forgot what he had been about to say. He followed her toward the back courtyard.

The two of them entered Gu Fei’s room. Gu Fei closed the door and went behind the bed. After a RUSTLE of rummaging, she came out holding a gun, with a bulletproof vest in her other hand.

This bulletproof vest has steel plates inside. It can stop not only bullets but also stabs from a knife.

Gu Fei placed the bulletproof vest on the table. "This thing... Young Master Heir, if you go to war in the future, or to suppress bandits and kill pirates, you must wear this. It can save your life at a critical moment."

Then, she loaded the handgun and pointed to the trigger, saying, "When you need to use it, Young Master Heir, load it like this. Then, point the muzzle at someone and pull the trigger."

Next, she removed the magazine and showed it to Xiao Yu. "These things inside are called bullets. I don’t have many left myself. I’ll give you some. Once they’re used up, they’re gone. Young Master Heir, you should only use them in a real crisis."

As she spoke, Gu Fei took the bullets out of the magazine and reloaded it, then handed everything to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu curiously tried it once himself, his movements identical to Gu Fei’s.

Gu Fei nodded. "The Young Master Heir can try it on an animal, but there aren’t many bullets, so use them sparingly."

Then Gu Fei took out a magazine full of bullets and gave it to Xiao Yu as well.

Xiao Yu was incredibly excited, but Gu Fei curtsied. "Young Master Heir, the value of this item cannot be measured by worldly gold or silver. Now that I have given it to you, please consider it my repayment for your kindness."

"From now on, please act as if you’ve never known me, Gu Fei. And please take these chests with you as well."

The chests were sitting in the room just as they had been left; Gu Fei had never opened them.

’The coveted Blood Drop was in his hands, but suddenly, it had lost all its appeal.’

Xiao Yu’s face fell. "Are you trying to cut ties with me?"

Gu Fei kept her head down. "I wouldn’t dare. It’s just that the Young Master Heir’s status is noble. It truly isn’t appropriate for us to associate so frequently."

Xiao Yu said angrily, "Who says it isn’t appropriate?"

"If I say it’s appropriate, then it’s appropriate!"

Gu Fei looked at him helplessly. Xiao Yu slammed the gun and the magazine in his hand down on the table. "I don’t want this."

"What you owe me isn’t something you can repay however you want! You’ll repay it how I tell you to repay it!"
