Time Travel: The Heroine Has Arrived!

Chapter 110: Chapter 110: The Legendary Genius Junior Ancestor VS White Lotus Outer Sect Junior Sister (Part 24)

Gu Shengyin slept incredibly well this time.

Ever since she arrived in this world, where a Sword Cultivator could use meditation to restore their energy, she rarely had such a deep and complete sleep.

Xuan Ke was reading a book with his back to her.

Gu Shengyin’s heart stirred, and she quietly stood up, preparing to give him a little scare.

Truly her brain wasn’t quite awake yet, how sharp could a Sword Saint’s senses be? The moment Gu Shengyin awakened, Xuan Ke had detected the change in her breathing.

So Gu Shengyin, who had planned to catch the chicken but ended up losing the rice, was easily scooped up by the waist and pulled into the man’s embrace.

“Senior Brother…” Gu Shengyin was obviously still a bit uncomfortable, looking at Xuan Ke somewhat shyly.

Little did she know how she appeared at the moment: her hair and clothes slightly disheveled from just waking up, her gaze misty, the tips of her eyes and nose tinged with red, and a delicate collarbone peeking out from her neck.

Xuan Ke’s eyes darkened.

Suppressing the affectionate thoughts in his heart, he said to Gu Shengyin, “Once Master emerges from seclusion, I will go forth to ask for your hand, and after getting his approval, I will visit the Gu’s to propose marriage, with Master officiating our union.”

Although Gu Shengyin was somewhat uneasy, she still nodded in agreement.

Venerable Ling Xiao was extremely happy upon learning of this matter. His life not being much longer, his only concern was for his female disciple. Having seen Xuan Ke’s character and strength, he naturally approved of their union and as her master, was delighted to see it happen.

After the Master’s consent came the approval of the family.

“Junior Sister, you should return to the family first. I will ask Master to decide on the day, and then I will personally come to the Gu’s to propose,” Xuan Ke told Gu Shengyin.

Gu Shengyin nodded, aware that this was the custom in this world.

Xuan Ke personally escorted her to the gates of the Astrolabe Sword Sect, looking forward to their next meeting.

By then, the Junior Sister would rightfully be his.

Xuan Ke could never have anticipated that the next time he saw his Junior Sister, it would not be the joyful scene he had envisioned.

In fact, he even wished he could destroy heaven and earth to vent the rage in his heart.

Beforehand, Gu Shengyin had sent a message home. She didn’t have much attachment to the Gu clan; apart from living in the Gu household until she was eight years old, she hadn’t been back once in the over ten years since she arrived in this original body.

There was someone.

Gu Shengyin stopped walking.

“Come out,” she said indifferently.

A black-robed figure suddenly appeared before Gu Shengyin.

“What sharp senses for a young girl,” the figure cackled strangely.

Gu Shengyin’s longsword was already unsheathed. She could feel the immense power of the person before her, likely not someone she could withstand.

Seeing her stance, the black-robed figure didn’t seem to care at all. “A Sword Emperor under twenty, indeed a great talent, truly worthy of the Tenth Rank Ice Soul Sword Heart. But you’re unlucky to run into…”

He suddenly stopped speaking, and in the next moment, appeared behind Gu Shengyin.

Gu Shengyin didn’t even have the time to draw her sword before everything went black in front of her eyes.

Sword Sect! That was Gu Shengyin’s last conscious thought before falling unconscious.

When she woke up again, she found herself in a luxurious room, except her hands and feet were both restrained with thin black chains.

Her brows furrowed; these chains, if she was not mistaken, were forged from Heavenly Meteorite, specifically designed to imprison Sword Cultivators.

She tried to circulate the True Qi within her Dantian. As expected, it was completely depleted.

“System, where am I?”
