I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1891 - 1893: Green Over His Head

Chapter 1891: Chapter 1893: Green Over His Head
"Madam, thank you for saving me!" You clasp your hands in respect to the lady.
"Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet, you should rest more. Our humble abode is simple, please do not take offense."
"Why say such things, madam? My life was saved by you. How could I be ungrateful?" You replied sincerely, "In a couple of days, when my injuries are healed, I will certainly repay you!"
As you were speaking, a man’s voice came from outside: "Human life is most important. We are just accumulating virtue and do not expect any repayment, young master."
Soon after, a tall, rather handsome middle-aged man walked in.
You realized that you had truly encountered good people. In this era, people were either extremely evil or extremely virtuous. You knew further words were unnecessary, so you kept the gratitude in your heart. For now, you needed rest.
Afterward, you stayed there. The owner of the house was named Gan Wu, a hunter; his wife was Zhao, and their daughter was Gan Mei. The Gan family had lived here for generations. Although their life was impoverished, being far from the city allowed them to live in peace.
In just two days, you expelled all the toxins from your body. However, because the detoxification wasn’t timely, as Cao Pi had mentioned before, your innate ability, Vajra Body, also vanished because of that. To verify this, you purposely used Gan Wu’s knife, meant for skinning animal hides, to cut your arm. As a result, a vivid red cut appeared, and blood slowly flowed out.
"Ah!"
Not far away, Gan Mei saw this and hurried over, looking at you anxiously: "Brother Li, are you alright?"
Having lost your life-saving skill, your mood was naturally down, but not wanting to worry Gan Mei, you forced a smile and said, "It’s okay, I just got a bit careless, haha."
"You’re bleeding, let me bandage you!"
Gan Mei turned and ran towards their small house. Watching Gan Mei’s back, a warmth spread in your heart.
However, you knew you had to leave. You’ve been away from Xuzhou for too long, and the life and death of Xiao San and others were uncertain. This lesson made you cherish the people around you more, while also restraining the last bit of kindness you had.
"Clang!"
"What are you doing!"
At this moment, Gan Mei’s angry shout came from not far away.
Your brows furrowed slightly, and you slowly stood up.
"Brother, wasn’t I right? This woman is several times more beautiful than that Oiran!"
"Third brother, you truly have good eyes! This woman is indeed superb. When we return, our two brothers will enjoy ourselves! Hahaha!"
"You, don’t come over!" Gan Mei’s voice grew increasingly frightened.
"You beasts, let go of my daughter!" That was Gan Wu’s voice. However, the sounds of a fight followed.
When you emerged from behind the small house, you found Gan Wu already being pinned to the ground by three strong men. Zhao and Gan Mei were tightly holding each other, huddled in a corner, shivering with fear.
"Hey." Your sudden voice drew everyone’s attention.
At a glance, you observed that these ruffians possessed some skills, no wonder a strong hunter like Gan Wu was subdued. These men likely were deserters who turned into bandits to oppress the common people after returning to their hometown.
"Where did this wild boy come from, Old Third, chop him up!" The days of toxin torture had made you much leaner, but nevertheless, when you stood there, you exuded an aura that deterred others from approaching.
Old Third swallowed hard, hesitating for a moment.
You let out a slow breath and said, "While I’m in a good mood, leave immediately."
The leading man glared fiercely at Old Third beside him, immediately drawing his waist knife, shouting, "Brat, you seek death!"
As the man raised the knife to strike, Gan Mei suddenly let out a scream. In your peripheral vision, you noticed Gan Mei rushing towards you, her face full of fearlessness. Clearly, she wanted to protect you!
In that instant, you were shocked.
Gan Mei wasn’t far from you. With a swift move, she rushed before you, extending her arms to block the knife for you!
Gan Mei even closed her eyes, calmly facing the impending death. Then, she waited a moment, realizing the knife hadn’t fallen. When she opened her eyes, she was astounded to see your hand blocking in front of her, where the man’s knife had already cut into your arm, blood trickling down along the blade.
Without waiting for Gan Mei to react, your other hand swiftly shot out. The man couldn’t evade, and you grabbed his neck. With a "crack!" sound, the man’s neck was crushed and he fell dead.
You seized the knife from your right arm, your body instantly disappearing from everyone’s sight. When you reappeared, the heads of the remaining six bandits simultaneously hit the ground, and bright red blood spilled across the whole grassy field.
The blade fell to the ground. You spun around and appeared in front of Gan Mei. Without giving her any time to react, you drew her into your arms and kissed her luscious red lips.
This kiss made Gan Mei feel like the world was spinning, completely entranced by the tenderness and passion you gave, unable to extricate herself.
As your lips parted, you made a decision to Gan Mei and her parents, "Come with me back to Xuzhou."
"Xuzhou?"
"That’s right. To be honest with you, I am the Governor of Xuzhou."
Gan Wu and Zhao’s eyes met. Although they had suspected your extraordinary background, they hadn’t expected you to be the Governor of Xuzhou, the master of Xuzhou!
"But..." Zhao seemed a bit hesitant. Although she was a village woman, she understood the vast differences between poor families and the scholar gentry, and thus appeared hesitant.
You held Gan Mei tightly, speaking with unwavering determination, "You both should understand the feelings between Meier and me. For her, I will bring you to Xuzhou no matter what. Also, rest assured, I’m not much different from you; we’re all just simple people."
Seeing the smile on your face, Gan Wu and Zhao exchanged another glance. Looking at Gan Mei, who was shy but filled with happiness in your embrace, they finally nodded in agreement.
At this point, you suddenly remembered something, and you asked Gan Wu, "Uncle Wu, I still don’t know where we currently are?"
"We’re in Xiaopei."
You were taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Xiaopei, White Jade Beauty, Gan, Lady Gan?"
Looking down at Gan Mei in your arms, you suddenly burst into laughter, a laughter filled with unspeakable delight.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Jingzhou, Liu Bei suddenly sneezed and shivered. For some unknown reason, Guan Yu, who was wiping his precious sword nearby, looked at Liu Bei and couldn’t shake the feeling that Liu Bei’s back and head seemed green.
"Probably just a reflection from the grass," Guan Yu thought to himself.
