Chapter 188 Crossdressing, Gu Yan
"So you haven't heard of the Palace of Heartbreak, young master..." Zhou Ting whispered.
Zhou Ting and Xie Wan'er exchanged a quick glance, both seeing embarrassment in each other's eyes. The Palace of Heartbreak was no good place for male cultivators. Even men from the Immortal Alliance would show fear upon hearing the name of the Palace of Heartbreak. It turned out Young Master Gu didn't know; no wonder his reaction was so calm just now.
"It seems like everyone here is a woman," Gu Yan said with a smile.
Zhou Ting and Xie Wan'er nodded slightly. Gu Yan noticed something strange in their expressions and was about to ask when another girl ran in from outside.
The girl was dressed in yellow, with a sky-colored shawl draped over her shoulders and long tassel earrings. She had a pretty face and ran in shouting, "Oh no! Oh no!" When she came in and saw Gu Yan, who had already woken up, she froze and showed a shy expression.
"You...you're awake..."
The girl in yellow blushed and said shyly.
Gu Yan cast a questioning look at Zhou Ting and Xie Wan'er. Zhou Ting introduced, "This is my junior sister, Mulan."
Zhou Ting and Xie Wan'er brought Gu Yan back to the Palace of Heartbreak, intending to keep it a secret from everyone. While they could fool others, Mulan, living with the two of them, was impossible to hide. Mulan was instantly captivated by Gu Yan's face and vowed to keep it a secret. While Gu Yan was unconscious, the three of them took turns caring for her.
"When the young master was unconscious, the three of us took turns looking after him," Zhou Ting said.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan quickly bowed and thanked them, saying, "Thank you, fellow Daoists."
"No need for formalities, no need for formalities!" Mulan blushed as she approached, her heart pounding as she gazed at Gu Yan, whose figure was as graceful as an orchid or a jade tree. How could there be such a handsome man in this world? Heavens, you've let me see such a man; I'll surely yearn for him day and night from now on. What will I do if he leaves this place?
The thought of Gu Yan leaving in the future breaks Mulan's heart; she truly wishes she could keep him hidden here forever.
"How long have I been unconscious?" Gu Yan asked.
Xie Wan'er said, "Three months."
Three months...
Gu Yan was quite surprised; he had been unconscious for such a long time. In both his lives, he had never been unconscious for so long. Luckily, he had encountered Zhou Ting and the others; otherwise, he didn't know what would have happened.
"Mulan, what did you just say that was bad?" Zhou Ting looked at Mulan.
Mulan remembered why she had come, and her expression turned anxious: "Senior sister, we've taken too many pills lately, and Master has become suspicious."
"I told you you were injured, that's why you needed so many pills. Master said she'd be coming to check on you later, what should we do? What if Master finds out that Young Master..."
Mulan felt like the sky was about to fall when she thought about it.
Zhou Ting and Xie Wan'er also looked extremely anxious. Gu Yan looked at them and asked, "Did I use those pills?"
Xie Wan'er nodded.
Gu Yan looked at them and said, "Since it was me who used it, I'll go and apologize."
"No, no, Young Master Gu, you don't know, our master hates men the most. Especially handsome men. If she finds out you're here, she'll be furious."
"When the time comes, if the young master's life is in danger, the rest of us will suffer as well." Zhou Ting's mind became more and more chaotic as she spoke.
"Then I'll leave now," Gu Yan said.
Judging from this description, that so-called master is probably just as unreasonable as that goddess king. If he's hunted down again, it's hard to say whether he can survive. Besides, these girls saved him; we absolutely can't let them get involved.
"No," Zhou Ting said immediately.
Xie Wan'er explained, "This Palace of Heartbreak has a sealing array. Normally, even we disciples have to be strictly checked when we come and go. The last time I brought you in was because Mulan was on duty guarding the palace."
Gu Yan: "..."
If this won't work and that won't work, what else can we do?
Mulan looked at Gu Yan, then suddenly her eyes lit up. She said, "Young master, I do have a solution, but it will be inconvenient for you."
"What method?" Gu Yan asked.
"You should dress as a woman," Xie Wan'er said.
Gu Yan: "...???"
"That's a good idea. Young master, you can dress up as a woman and we'll get you out of here right away," Zhou Ting said.
Gu Yan: "..."
Women's clothing? His lips twitched slightly.
He was against wearing women's clothing. But it seemed there was no other way now. They had saved his life, and he couldn't repay their kindness, nor could he cause them any trouble.
Despite her reluctance, Gu Yan finally nodded.
"All right."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ting, Xie Wan'er, and Mulan were inexplicably excited. Mulan took Gu Yan's hand and said with a smile, "Young master, let me help you with your makeup."
She took Gu Yan's hand and led her into the inner room. Zhou Ting and Xie Wan'er helped her find suitable clothes and jewelry, respectively. Gu Yan sat there helplessly, letting them do as they pleased.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Inside the room, Zhou Ting, Xie Wan'er, and Mulan stared in disbelief at the white-clad fairy standing before them. She was so beautiful, absolutely stunning.
She wore a white gauze dress, purer than snow, and was enveloped in a soft, ethereal light. She was clear, otherworldly, and breathtakingly beautiful, unparalleled in her beauty. Every move she made, every smile she gave, possessed a captivating charm that could bewitch all beings. Even women who saw her would find their hearts pounding and unable to calm down for a long time.
This beautiful scene is beyond imagination; no one could have imagined such a beautiful woman.
Zhou Ting, Xie Wan'er, and Mulan all thought to themselves that even the most beautiful fairies and goddesses of the Immortal Alliance and the Divine Alliance would feel ashamed of themselves if they saw the "woman" in front of them!
So beautiful, she is absolutely stunning.
If those men saw this, they would definitely go crazy.
Gu Yan felt extremely uncomfortable wearing women's clothing: "This...this looks weird, doesn't it?"
"No, no, no, it's not surprising at all."
Mulan, Zhou Ting, and Xie Wan'er all shook their heads vigorously, like rattles.
"So beautiful, young master, you look absolutely stunning!" Mulan exclaimed.
Gu Yan glanced at his reflection in the mirror. He felt nothing, only extreme awkwardness.
"Young master, you need to change your voice a bit more," Zhou Ting reminded him.
To fool the Celestial King, illusions won't work, so I'll have to dress as a woman. But changing my voice doesn't require magic; a little trick will do.
Gu Yan lowered her voice: "Greetings, three fairies."
Her voice was so charming and alluring that it could melt your bones.
Zhou Ting, Mulan, and Xie Wan'er blushed deeply.
God!
That's so charming.
I can't stand it, I can't stand it.
"Alright, alright, hurry up, we need to see Young Master Gu out before Master arrives." Zhou Ting snapped out of her daze first.
After discussing it, Zhou Ting and Mulan stayed behind to wait for the Palace Master of the Heartless Palace, while Xie Wan'er secretly left with Gu Yan, who was dressed as a woman.
