Chapter 1378 Easy to Obtain Priceless Treasures, Difficult to Find a True Lover

Tian Zhicheng hurriedly swallowed the medication.

Shuiyu turned around and took a pill, swallowing it herself.

But Seventh Brother, with sharp eyes, noticed that the pill Shuiyu took seemed different from the one Tian Zhicheng took.

If Shuiyu heard his inner thoughts, she would have said, of course it’s different, the pill given to Brother Zhicheng is a real Healing Elixir, while the one she took is a Yuan Nourishing Pill.

Her power hadn’t fully recovered, and although using a Yuan Nourishing Pill to recover power was wasteful, she knew there were tough battles ahead.

She was calculating how she could seize the two short guns behind Seventh Brother without getting herself injured, or at least not seriously injured.

But no matter how she calculated, she found she couldn’t quite achieve that.

Of course, if it were just her, she would certainly be safe. With her power and speed, she could completely seize those two guns without getting herself injured.

But she couldn’t guarantee that she could prevent Brother Zhicheng from getting injured.

Today, he had been beaten to the point of coughing blood for her protection, yet he still persisted in standing in front of her. In fact, if he had handed her over, he would have been safe, but he didn’t. He even said things like he wouldn’t seek his own safety unless he died.

Such a man really touched her deeply.

Furthermore, were it not for him earlier, it was very likely she would have been sent to a man’s bed before her power had recovered. Moreover, photos would have been taken of her, possibly compromising ones. If that had happened, she didn’t know if she would have had the courage to continue living.

Not to mention, he’s been treasuring her embroidered handkerchief and keeping it close.

When he was an educated youth in the village, whether it was city-educated youths sent to the countryside or those returning to farming from the village, they all hoped to catch more than just a glance from him. However, he never responded to any girl’s advances.

She would never have dreamed that the most popular educated youth back then had actually kept her in his thoughts. She was only twelve or thirteen years old at the time!

Could it be because she said she liked him? Heaven knows she only purely liked him at that time, without romantic feelings!

Being influenced by hormones during youth, developing affection for the opposite sex nearby is normal, but being able to maintain this fondness consistently for years is incredibly rare.

A phrase from a poem suddenly came to Shuiyu’s mind: "Easy to obtain priceless treasures, difficult to find a true lover!"

She decided, this man, she wants him!

Her man, she will protect!

Shuiyu looked up at Seventh Brother, and Seventh Brother looked at Shuiyu.

"You’re called Shuiyu? Are you an ancient Martial Cultivator?"

Shuiyu replied blankly: "Nonsense!"

Seventh Brother suddenly smiled: "Let’s make a deal. You don’t need to stay in Dream Sky, but you must stay by my side."

Seeing Shuiyu and Tian Zhicheng both frowning, he immediately continued: "Be my bodyguard!"

Shuiyu and Tian Zhicheng exchanged glances, their brows still furrowed.

Clearly, this Seventh Brother is involved in shady dealings, she doesn’t want to mix with such people.

Seventh Brother knew what she was thinking and looked at Tian Zhicheng: "I know your power is high; earlier you had just restored a tenth of your power and already had my security searching for their teeth all over the place. You just took a Yuan Nourishing Pill, right? You should have fully restored your power now.

So, you can completely dodge the barrels of my two subordinates’ guns and maybe even seize their short guns. However—" he pointed at Tian Zhicheng: "Your boyfriend certainly can’t dodge my men’s bullets."
