Chapter 609: Chapter 358: Gu Wenyu’s Relics, the Visiting Rainbow Wings (Double-Length Chapter)

He paused for a moment, "I’ve already lost a brother, I really don’t want to lose anyone else. So right now, I just want to live quietly for a while, without thinking about anything."

Hearing this, Cezar, for some reason, felt rather relieved.

He curled the corner of his mouth and said softly, "Hmm, now I can be at ease."

"We’ll be leaving Li Jing soon. Cezar, will you and your group be joining us?" Gu Qiye asked, after a brief silence.

"No, we still have things to do." Cezar shook his head, "Don’t worry about us, Yaguba and I won’t be easily caught by the Salvation Society’s people."

"That’s good, take care." Gu Qiye said, standing up from the sofa, "My family and I will leave here soon. You can contact us later at Hai Fan City."

"Hmm, oh right, I haven’t met Mr. Lan Hu’s sister yet." Cezar suddenly recalled.

"Uh... have you heard of the name Diaper Demon?" Gu Qiye asked.

"Diaper Demon?" Cezar scratched his head, "It sounds familiar, I often hear Mr. Black Cocoon mention it, but I don’t know what diaper means."

"Yes, that’s actually referring to my sister. My brother likes to give people nicknames." Gu Qiye teased.

"Big brother, are you speaking ill of me again?" Su Zimai said as she came down the stairs, walking over angrily.

"No, I would never dare to say anything bad about our Xiaomai." Gu Qiye chuckled, reaching up to pat her head.

"So, he’s the one speaking badly about me?" Su Zimai said, turning to give Cezar a cold look.

Cezar was taken aback, only regaining his composure when the little shark in his pocket patted his chest with its fin.

"Hello, I’m Cezar." He coughed twice, immediately introducing himself, "I heard your nickname from Mr. Black Cocoon, Miss Diaper Demon, so what exactly is a diaper? It must be something very stylish and cool!"

"Ha?"

Su Zimai was so upset that her eye twitched slightly, unsure if this person was genuinely naive or mocking her. Gu Qiye was suppressing laughter, leaning against the wall pretending to be oblivious.

She fought the urge to explode, staring at Cezar, and probed, word by word:

"Never mind the Diaper Demon thing, are you Yaguba?"

Gu Zhuo Case also came down the stairs at this time, hearing his daughter’s words. It seemed despite having explained before, Su Zimai still harbored suspicions that this androgynous white-haired boy was the person her brother had mentioned.

Cezar was stunned and pointed at himself.

"Me? I’m Cezar. Cezar is just Cezar, who is Yaguba?" He tilted his head innocently and asked.

Gu Qiye was also taken aback, only now realizing his sister might have misunderstood something.

"Xiaomai..." He started to explain, but at that moment, the doorbell suddenly rang in the living room, interrupting his words.

Gu Qiye paused, then his expression slightly changed. He quickly turned his head to look out the window, and through the curtain, he saw a silhouette of a person, appearing to be a young girl dressed in something akin to a dress.

She stood silently outside the house, motionless.

"Damn... someone’s here, we need to hide." Cezar whispered, hurriedly summoning the Anecdote Atlas.

He and the little shark in his pocket anxiously flipped through the atlas, one using fingers, the other using its fin. Within seconds, they retrieved an Anecdote Fragment with silver light patterns printed on it, a commonplace Anecdote — the "Divine Concealment Umbrella," which had saved their lives countless times.

"Who could be coming at this hour?" Gu Zhuo Case frowned tightly as he stared at the shadow on the curtain.

"How would I know?" Su Zimai whispered, "Could it be just another of brother’s lovers coming to settle debts?"

"Stop talking, hurry over!" Cezar said silently, beckoning the few in the living room, then holding up the ochre-red paper umbrella high.

The two, though unsure of the situation, obediently came closer. Su Zimai even pulled the dazed Gu Qiye over, glaring at him, "What are you doing, big brother, trying to get yourself killed?"

Gu Qiye remained silent.

Moments later, the sound of the door being pushed open suddenly came from the entrance, and summer sunlight flooded in from outside, casting a silhouette of a graceful figure.

She paused for a moment before slowly stepping in.

Gu Qiye hid at the base of the Divine Concealment Umbrella, looking up in a daze from the shadows, timidly watching the figure walking through the entrance.

What met his eyes was a girl in a light blue hoodie. She wore a sun hat, with icy blue pupils particularly striking under the hat’s shadow, and her snow-white hair was illuminated by the sunlight, appearing as if flowing gold. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Yaguba..."

In the shadow of the paper umbrella, Gu Qiye gazed at the girl’s face, lips moving silently.

Yaguba’s face showed little expression, her demeanor perpetually distant. She walked into the room, turned on the lights, and then raised her head to look around, silently observing the empty living room.

Unaware, the person she sought was only a few steps away from her.
