Adorable Creature Attacks! The Beauty Surrenders! - Chapter 1

Chapter 1 - Tunneled Through Space, Just Like That?

“Eh, where am I?” Baffled, Gu Qingyu looked around.

Wasn’t she just……stabbed with a knife by someone just a moment ago?

She found herself surrounded by trees, and there was a river that flowed nearby.

Gu Qingyu approached the river and took a look at herself……Mm, I am still the same! But, what kind of place is this? Also……Why am I dressed in this type of……ancient costume?

Suddenly, someone’s voice came through from behind, “Gu Qingyu, you cannot escape. If you hand over the picture scroll, I can spare you death!”

This typical plot line……I’m speechless……

I have tunneled through space, right?

If so, what’s this then? Why do I have to experience this kind of scenario as soon as I came over？？

She felt something sharp and pointy in her sleeves and pulled it open……Heavens! A couple of needles were neatly stuck inside her sleeves!

Looks like the ancient Gu Qingyu wasn’t that simple!

“Who are you guys?” Gu Qingyu blinked innocently at the people surrounding her.

As if she would get scared, after all she had a black belt in taekwondo.

“Did you get scared silly?” A masked man brandished his sword in front of her, “You actually dare to just run away alone with the picture scroll, quite some nerves you have there. However, we shall thank you, to have brought the scroll here in our behalf……”

Gu Qingyu’s lips curled up, and discovered that she actually held onto a scroll painting.

She unfolded it and discovered a man drawn on the painting.

The man had an emotionless expression, long flowing black hair, dressed in a blue robe, gazing into the distance.

“You…Why the heck do you guys want this for?” Gu Qingyu stared suspiciously at the scroll.

The masked man laughed out loudly and started to talk again after having laughed enough, “Gu Qingyu, you really got scared silly! Don’t think Hero Jia will come and protect you only because you’re holding onto the portrait!”

“Fake Hero?” Gu Qingyu blanked for a moment, then immediately burst into laughter, “Why would I want a fake hero to protect me!”

“Gu Qingyu, stop acting you don’t know what's good and bad for you! Let me tell you, Hero Jia’s name is Jia!” Another masked man said.

“Stop talking so much nonsense with her!” The first masked man swung his sword, a sharp sword Qi flew towards her direction.

Gu Qingyu saw the incoming sword Qi and her instincts told her to dodge, but her body seemed to be held back by something, unable to move……

 贾(Jia)英雄(Hero) =/= 假(Also 'Jia' but means 'Fake')英雄(Hero) 

“Clank!”

The sword Qi was flicked away by a flying dart, Gu Qingyu sensed she could move her body again……

She subconsciously retreated a few steps and discovered that the river was just behind her.

Thus, she slipped in very miserably……

”AAH!” Suddenly, someone pulled her up.

Gu Qingyu looked up once she stood firm on the ground again : Oh, it was a guy.

His black hair flowed naturally with the wind, and he had a cold look on his face.

His lips were tightly pursed, and his aura was extraordinary.

Dressed in a simple blue clothing, overflowing with power.

Looks familiar……

Wait a minute, isn’t this the guy in the painting?

How did he suddenly appear?

Didn’t those people just say that he was called something like ‘Hero Jia’?

Whatever! Sounds so tacky though!

“Hero Jia, Hello! Gu Qingyu stood up straight.

That person just gave her a faint glance and didn’t speak.

What’s up with him……Didn’t he just save me? Why is he even ignoring me?

“Hero Jia……” The group of people became fearful once they saw the man, “Hero Jia, we only wanted to……to get a hold of your portrait!”

“You, leave.” The man faintly replied, his voice was extremely pleasant to listen to, like the sweet sound of a skylark, like a cold spring breeze and the jewel-blue water flowing through the river.

Those people nodded and fled immediately.

Gu Qingyu gazed at the fleeing crowd, snarling, “Tsk, tsk, tsk. Seem like Hero Jia’s deterrence power is quite high!”

She imitated those people on TV and cupped her hands, “Many thank for the help!”

That person glanced strangely at her, “Let us return to the manor.”

“What?” Gu Qingyu couldn’t take it anymore, “Together?!”

“Are you alright? You just tripped earlier.” Hero Jia looked at her, he seemed rather doubtful.

“……” Do you really believe I became an idiot by just tripping! “Aiya, I just forgot what I wanted to say……” Gu Qingyu decided might as well fake it and put on an ‘oblivious’ face, “Oh! I suddenly feel like I can’t remember a lot of stuff after tripping……HEY! HERO JIA, WAIT FOR ME!”

As it turns out, Hero Jia had already started to wander off while she was talking……

Gu Qingyu had to run a little to catch up with him…….

Outside of Gu Manor.

Gu Qingyu stared widely at all the people coming out of the manor to greet them. One of them that had the appearance of a servant, ran towards her, “Young miss! Welcome back!”

“Eeee……” Just when Gu Qingyu truly didn’t know how to reply, Hero Jia replied in her stead, “Your family’s Young Lady just tripped earlier and suffered some memory loss.”

“Ah! Young miss! What happened to you!” The servant girl immediately pulled Gu Qingyu around and checked her, left and right.

"Yu’er.” A middle-aged woman came out, she could tell with one glance that this was her current biological mother, “You’re back, how did things go?”

“Um, very good……” Gu Qingyu awkwardly replied, “It’s just that I recently knocked my head against a large boulder, so there are some things I can’t remember……”

“Oh dear, I have told you so many times! As a girl, even if there’s nothing to do at home, stop going out to attempt such dangerous things! Why would you go out to become some ‘bait’ when you’re perfectly fine……Thank heavens that Hero Jia was there to protect you this time!” Her mother kept on talking endlessly without getting to the point, Gu Qingyu however, listened very attentively and managed to pick up some information : It appears that the original Gu Qingyu and Hero Jia were carrying out a mission, to go and retrieve the painting, but they were attacked on the way back. Not sure why though, but after just being knocked on the head once, she somehow took over the body.

Coming through like this……I literally have nothing to say.

Once entering the manor, the interior made Gu Qingyu gasp in admiration.

The servant girl led her towards her room, Gu Qingyu studied the arrangement of her room——Mm, not bad. She liked it. Or you could perhaps say, the ancient Gu Qingyu and she had similar tastes?
