(Quick Transmigration) Small Cannon Fodder Has Great Power

Upon hearing this, Qi Shaoyu felt his heart beat shamefully erratically for a few seconds.

Gu Yunyun, in particular, looked up at him with a slightly shy expression. She bit her lower lip lightly, and although she tried her best to appear open and honest, she still couldn't help but blush.

She was still draped in his clothes, her whole body nestled beneath them, appearing both delicate and tender, with an indescribable allure that stirred Qi Shaoyu's heart even more.

The two of them felt a little awkward facing each other, and a silent ambiguity spread in the air.

Qi Shaoyu clenched and unclenched his hands at his sides several times before he could calm his turbulent emotions. He secretly berated himself for not being a gentleman; she clearly meant well, yet he couldn't help but let his mind wander and his heart flutter.

Qi Shaoyu composed himself, “...No need, I’m just a rough man, it’s fine.”

"You're still injured, why are you standing outside in the cold wind all night?" Gu Yunyun asked anxiously. "If you're not coming in, I... I won't come in either, I'll stay outside with you."

Qi Shaoyu felt helpless, but seeing how much she cared for him, he was touched and felt a sweet warmth in his heart. Even though he hadn't touched a drop of alcohol, he felt as if he could smell the rich aroma of fine wine and was slightly tipsy.

Gu Yunyun advised, "Didn't we once sleep in the open and in a deserted temple, sharing the same roof? The innocent are innocent."

Qi Shaoyu wasn't one to be bound by dogma, and hearing Gu Yunyun's words, he felt there was some truth to them. "That's true. People of the martial world don't need to be so formal. Yunyun is more insightful than I am. As long as you have a clear conscience, that's enough."

But for a moment, a trace of uncertainty and guilt flashed through his mind—was he really innocent? Meanwhile, Gu Yunyun had already happily pulled him into the house.

The room is spacious. Upon entering, you are greeted by an octagonal table; to the left is a bookshelf, and opposite it is a daybed; to the right is a gauze-draped wardrobe, inside which is a four-poster bed with a moon gate against the wall, with curtains tied to the bedposts.

Qi Shaoyu said, "Yunyun, you can stay here tonight. I'll sleep on the daybed."

"Mmm." The gauze curtains provided a partition, and with the bed curtains drawn, privacy was well guaranteed. "This room is really nice," Gu Yunyun praised sincerely.

Qi Shaoyu couldn't help but recall the room Gongsun Jing had arranged for Gu Yunyun, and in comparison, he felt that the room was even more outrageous.

Gu Yunyun had already retired to bed in the gauze-draped room. Qi Shaoyu lay on the daybed fully clothed, but tossed and turned, unable to sleep soundly.

He and Gu Yunyun had indeed spent the night together in a dilapidated temple in the wilderness before, but at that time he had not yet developed feelings for Gu Yunyun and his mind was pure. However, now, in the dead of night, with his superb martial arts skills and keen senses, he listened to the long, steady breathing of his beloved woman in the quiet room, to the rustling of her clothes as she occasionally turned over, and to her cute, soft murmurs, and he found it hard to calm down.

He had never been interested in anyone before, so although he was unrestrained and dissolute, he had never been involved with women. His junior brothers often teased him, saying that although he looked like a free spirit, he was actually a clueless blockhead inside.

However, he was a normal man, in the prime of his life, and while he had been abstaining from sex for a long time before, it was understandable. But now, sharing a room with his beloved in the middle of the night, it was inevitable that his mind would wander, and at the same time, he felt guilty about these impure thoughts, causing him to be torn apart. Qi Shaoyu turned over irritably, thinking that he might as well have just sat outside the door all night.

He didn't know how long he stared into the darkness, lost in thought, before he finally drifted off to sleep.

Therefore, Qi Shaoyu, who always had a regular schedule and went to bed early and got up early, did not get up the next morning.

Gongsun Jing was very excited because Qi Shaoyu had come to the Valley of the Immortal Healers, and she got up very early in the morning. After carefully dressing up, she realized it was still early and not appropriate to disturb Qi Shaoyu. So, she thought for a moment and then went to the place she had arranged for Gu Yunyun the day before, intending to cause her some trouble.

She knocked on the door but no one answered. She pushed the door open and went inside to check. The bed was still covered in dust, so no one had rested on it last night.

Gongsun Jing pondered unhappily, "If Gu Yunyun didn't sleep here yesterday, where else could she have slept? Did she ask her senior brother from the Medicine Immortal Valley to arrange a new place for her?"

She asked around, and everyone said they hadn't seen the woman who came with Qi Shaoyu last night. It was now broad daylight, time for breakfast. Gongsun Jing decided to put her doubts aside for the moment, went to the kitchen to get the specially prepared and plentiful meal she had requested, and carried the food box to Qi Shaoyu's courtyard.

"Brother Qi, are you up? I've brought breakfast." Gongsun Jing gently knocked on the door and said sweetly.

Qi Shaoyu had insomnia last night and went to bed very late, falling asleep just as dawn was breaking. He was sound asleep and didn't hear anything.

Gu Yunyun rubbed her eyes and sat up groggily. She vaguely heard a woman's voice mention the word "breakfast," so she still slipped on her embroidered shoes and went to open the door.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Gongsun Jing quickly straightened her posture and gave a sweet smile.

Gu Yunyun yawned, squinting, and groped her way to open the door. But she suddenly heard a clanging sound and a woman's angry exclamation, which brought her back to her senses.

Gongsun Jing pointed a trembling finger at Gu Yunyun's nose and shrieked, "What are you doing here?!"

Gu Yunyun dodged her finger and looked down at the food box that had fallen to the ground. The wooden lid of the food box was thrown aside, and the fragrant food inside was scattered all over the floor with broken bowls and plates.

Qi Shaoyu was also awakened by the noise. He put on his shoes and went to the door. "Miss Gongsun?" He suddenly realized that it wouldn't be good to be seen in a room with Yunyun so early in the morning. Although nothing had happened between them, it still wouldn't sound good if word got out.

He glanced at Gu Yunyun. Her dark hair was loose, draped languidly behind her head, and the rosy glow of sleep hadn't faded from her face. Her undergarment was slightly loose from sleeping, the collar askew, revealing a glimpse of her fair skin near her collarbone. This scene, at this time and place, certainly stirred the imagination. He hadn't expected someone to come so early in the morning and witness this whole thing.

"Brother Qi, how come this woman is in your room?!" Gongsun Jing asked through gritted teeth, her eyes filled with hatred as she looked at Gu Yunyun, wishing she could tear her to pieces.

Seeing the person she disliked so angry, Gu Yunyun felt a secret sense of satisfaction. She hid behind Qi Shaoyu, tugging lightly at his sleeve as if afraid, and secretly winked at Gongsun Jing, her eyes showing no trace of the panic on her face. Gongsun Jing, consumed by rage, acted like an angry wife who had caught her husband cheating on her husband, and tried to pull Gu Yunyun aside, but Qi Shaoyu stretched out his long arm to protect her.

"Miss Gongsun!" Qi Shaoyu momentarily forgot that he had promised Gongsun Jing yesterday not to address her so formally, and Gongsun Jing was not in the mood to dwell on it now.

Gu Yunyun weakly defended herself, but this only added fuel to the fire, "Miss Gongsun, please calm down. Nothing happened between Brother Qi and me."

"You vixen! Shameless!"

Qi Shaoyu said solemnly, "Miss Gongsun, you've misunderstood..."

Gongsun Jing suddenly burst into tears, sobbing, "Brother Qi, how could you do this! I was the one who saved you, I was the one who liked you first, don't you understand my feelings for you?!"

Qi Shaoyu felt utterly overwhelmed, unsure how to stop the girl in front of him from crying. He was utterly exhausted. "I am deeply grateful for Miss Gongsun's life-saving grace, but matters of the heart... cannot be forced..."

"...You bastard!" Gongsun Jing grabbed a ceramic vase from the side and threw it at Qi Shaoyu's head before running away, sobbing, without looking back.

Qi Shaoyu didn't dodge and took the blow head-on, immediately getting a bruise on his forehead.

Gu Yunyun was startled and quickly checked the injury on his head. "Why didn't you dodge?!"

Qi Shaoyu sighed, "Miss Gongsun is my savior, and this incident happened because of me. If it can help her vent her anger a little, then I'll smash it once."

Gu Yunyun puffed up her cheeks in anger, wishing she could tell him immediately that she was his savior. But firstly, he probably wouldn't believe her so easily, and secondly, how could she explain her appearance outside the Valley of Healing Immortals as a pitiful victim? How could she possess a miraculous medicine that could bring the dead back to life? And how did she sneak into the Valley of Healing Immortals to take care of him while he was unconscious?

Therefore, Gu Yunyun could only apply medicine to him while complaining angrily to the system: "Gongsun Jing is such an easy 'savior'! She was nowhere to be seen when he was on the verge of death, but she came to pick him up as soon as he was out of danger; she didn't take good care of him when she took him back, and she didn't even spend a penny on wound medicine; now that his injury is almost healed, she has added another wound to his head... When I get the chance, I will definitely put a sack over her head!"

The system said, "I support you, host! Beat her up! Several bottles of nutrient solution! Such a luxury item is just being given to Gongsun Jing as a favor!" Gu Yunyun herself is usually reluctant to exchange for such things even when she has a minor injury or illness.

Thinking of the bottles of nutrient solution, Gu Yunyun's eyes showed not only heartache for Qi Shaoyu's injury but also a touch of pain. Qi Shaoyu, seeing this, simply thought she was being overly concerned for him, and felt deeply touched and comforted.

He resisted the urge to stroke Gu Yunyun's soft hands and comforted her, "It's nothing, just a minor injury."

Meanwhile, news of Gongsun Jing being made to cry quickly reached the ears of the old doctor.

She was the beloved granddaughter of the old healer. In this Valley of Healers, even a frown from her was a big deal, let alone tears. Her fellow disciples were on high alert and hurriedly went to inform their master.

"Who bullied you? Was it that brat you brought back? I'll give him a poison that will rip his intestines out and make him wish he were dead!" the old doctor roared, blowing his beard.

Gongsun Jing was afraid that he would really poison him, so she quickly stopped her tears and stopped him, "Grandpa, you mustn't hurt him! This is between him and me, don't interfere."

The old healer snorted and sat down, "So, it really was that brat who provoked you?"

Gongsun Jing hesitated for a moment, "Actually, actually, it's not his fault..." She said bitterly, "It's mainly that wicked woman's fault, she seduced Brother Qi..."

The old healer snorted, "You really have taken a liking to that lad. No wonder you rescued a stranger out of nowhere and chased him back to the valley." He thought about Qi Shaoyu's appearance and vaguely remembered that he did indeed have a handsome face. "If you really like this lad, taking him in as a live-in husband is not a bad idea. My Healer Valley lacks nothing and is not afraid of causing trouble. As long as you like him, no matter what his status is, just keep him."

Gongsun Jing said dejectedly, "But they don't like me."

"That's because he doesn't know what's good for him! Besides, it's only right to repay a life-saving debt with one's own body!" The old doctor narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard, and thought for a moment. "I'll go find him in a little while and make him marry you. As for that little lover he brought... it's fine to let her be a concubine."
