Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 249: Chapter 147: Impressive Technology Chapter 249: Chapter 147: Impressive Technology Hearing this, Gu Changsheng indignantly nudged Zhou Mu’s chin, “Are you trying to be self-taught?”

Without even having a teacher?

Obviously, neither of them had a teacher and they were completely clueless!

What a painful realization…

“Otherwise?” Zhou Mu, holding Gu Changsheng, leaned against the bedpost, positioning her in a comfortable pose.

Gu Changsheng touched her swollen lips, and couldn’t help but wince in pain again.

Being hurt in such a tender area, the feeling was truly indescribable.

“Evildoer, let’s make a deal,” Gu Changsheng said, twirling a finger and her eyeballs frivolously spinning.

“Hmm?” With the scent of a soft beauty in his embrace, and the person he had been pining for, Zhou Mu lost all resemblance of his noble and aloof demeanor, exuding a mistaken impression that he was amiable and open to negotiation.

Gu Changsheng twirled a strand of hair around her finger many times over before plucking up her courage to speak, “I think, as for kissing, this technical skill, we two simply have no talent for it. Look at us, both suffering defeat, and as for being self-taught, I have no hope…”

A deep sense of grievance, the gap between theory and practice can sometimes be such an embarrassment…

“So what do you propose?” Zhou Mu raised his fine brows slightly, eyes narrowed, exuding a hint of chill.

Gu Changsheng patted his lean and muscular legs, resolutely speaking, “I think instead of us decimating each other, we might as well seek advice humbly.”

“I’ll tell you, there are ready-made masters in the Mountain Stronghold of the Dark Camp. It took me a great deal of effort to negotiate with Flower Peacock, and they are all experienced and skilled, guaranteed to have top-notch technique!” Gu Changsheng said while enthusiastically giving a thumbs up.

“Hmm?” The anger in Zhou Mu’s eyes began to simmer, but he remained completely still.

“Evildoer, you have to trust me, they’re all battle-scarred veterans of the brothel, the cream of the crop, the elite of the elites, with absolutely reliable skills!” The off-track Gu Changsheng, completely oblivious to Zhou Mu’s darkening complexion, continued to list the advantages of the robust Female Army outside, vigorously marketing them.

It has to be said, Gu Changsheng was quite eloquent; any other man would have been easily moved.

But who was Zhou Mu? A figure of breathtaking talent, cold and proud; if he was persuaded by such talk, he wouldn’t be over twenty yet without a soul by his side.

Gu Changsheng, more and more impressed with her own cleverness and completely unaware of the looming danger, continued excitedly, “Evildoer, I think you should give it a try. I really don’t want to go out every day with a sausage mouth. How would that look? I, Gu Changsheng, care so much about my reputation, I can’t afford such a disgrace.”

“So about this matter, men should take priority; you’d better go find them to learn the craft. After you’ve mastered it and return, then we can continue…”

Uh… Having said this, Gu Changsheng suddenly realized something was not quite right.

Continue what?

Has she gotten addicted or what?

And when did the temperature around them drop so low? Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but wrap her arms around herself and leaned towards that originally warm, now icy embrace…

This lean was careless, for Gu Changsheng then figured out the source of the cold…

She timidly looked up…

And saw Zhou Mu’s distinctly chiseled chin and his tightly pressed lips that had split…

“What are you doing? It’s deep autumn now, there’s absolutely no need for your natural cooling ability…” Gu Changsheng’s voice grew quieter and quieter, until it faded into silence.

“You’re telling your prince to ask those women for advice?” His voice wasn’t loud, but it was very cold.

Gu Changsheng felt that this question seemed to be a real issue.

Obviously, Zhou Mu didn’t want to seek humble advice.

This sort of thing was always to the man’s advantage, but why did it seem as if he was being coerced when it came to him? It seemed as if their roles had been reversed; his reluctance was too obvious.

Hallelujah! In the next instant, Gu Changsheng suddenly had an epiphany!

Could it be because of her?

Was he keeping himself pure for her sake?

Buddha Tathagata his Fourth Auntie Grandma, things had really gotten out of hand; she, Gu Changsheng, was not fond of playing the role of the lofty Shuixian or the White Lotus.

She wriggled in his embrace, lifting her head again to get a clearer view of Zhou Mu’s face.

One word: dark!

Two words: very dark!

Three words: extremely dark!

This was simply an innate level of darkness!

Damn it!

Gu Changsheng internally screamed in despair, realizing she had perhaps blundered into a minefield with her impulsive chatter. Now how was she supposed to clear the mines?

“Uh… that… um…” Her face creased like a Little Meat Bun, Gu Changsheng racked her brains for an escape plan, trying to recall with great effort the rambling she had just spilled to see if there was any loophole she could slip through.

Speaking of which, this was also quite frustrating; she didn’t mind or get jealous, why was he making such a fuss?

Now that a free treat of tofu was in front of him and she was letting him have it, he refused. Well, once he missed this opportunity, there would be no shop after this village, wishing for it and not getting it anymore!

Zhou Mu’s gaze was cool and clear as water as he stared at the woman in his arms, restless as she scratched her ear and cheek, with a hint of helplessness flashing across the depths of his eyes.

He truly didn’t know how to describe her.

As astute as she was, devising strategies and scheming over people’s hearts was as easy as breathing for her; as tenacious as she was, she hated owing anyone anything, and her boundless abilities often left him in awe; despite her orchid-like grace, sometimes she was so unconventional that he simply didn’t know how to deal with her.

A woman like her, when still, seemed to quiet the entire world, and when she moved, she was like a dazzling flower, attracting the gaze of everyone around…

He was helplessly addicted, only able to let his heart sink deeper and deeper without end…

“Ah! I remember now!” Gu Changsheng suddenly slapped his forehead, goddammit, he had finally found the trick to climb out of the hole he had dug himself. He looked up with a flattering smile and grabbed the front of Zhou Mu’s robe with both hands, “What I mean is, for you to go ask them for advice, words only, no physical demonstrations! Hehe…”

With a proud laugh, Gu Changsheng was actually impressed by his own cleverness.

Only he, Gu Changsheng, could come up with such a far-fetched yet apt excuse!

Silently giving himself thirty-two thumbs up, Gu Changsheng felt a sense of relief within.

That should be enough to escape disaster this time, right?

Seeing this, Zhou Mu shook his head helplessly, and the cold aura around him retracted much faster than Gu Changsheng hoped, as he put away his indulgent and doting expression and pretended to be stern, “Do you think this prince can afford to lose that kind of person?”

“Um… okay, you are the Commandery Prince, high and unreachable, but goddammit, it doesn’t change the substantive issue that both our techniques are lacking, does it?”

Evildoer Zhou didn’t want to lose face, so what else could be done?

At this moment, Gu Changsheng was utterly certain, if he dared to say he would go and ask for advice, he would surely be devoured by him in minutes!

Messing with a tiger’s whiskers was no small matter, one careless move and one could end up in the tiger’s mouth; he couldn’t take such risks!

Thus, Gu Changsheng was torn…

The issue at hand had only one answer: unsolvable!

He continued to scratch his ear and cheek, deep in thought…

“I still prefer self-taught mastery,” said Zhou Mu, seeing her like this, his anger from before had vanished.

She was actually taking this matter so seriously; her acceptance was not immediate rejection, it was slowly taking root, a feeling so subtle that he felt slightly intoxicated by it.

And the woman who was stirring his heart was pondering at this very moment how to improve their kissing skills…

“No, absolutely not, the cost of self-taught mastery is too high, I just can’t accept it,” Gu Changsheng rejected Zhou Mu’s suggestion without hesitation.

Seriously, stop joking around, their sausage lips are now eerily similar, if this continued, what would become of them?

How could they face anyone?

Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng let out a great wail, throwing her head forcefully into Zhou Mu’s chest.

Startled by her action, Zhou Mu had no choice but to quickly withdraw his hands and hurriedly stabilize her, reprimanding with a worried expression, “What are you doing? Aren’t you afraid of hurting yourself?”

He had practiced martial arts from a young age and had long developed a physique like copper walls and iron ramparts. Even now, completely unguarded, her delicate skin hitting him so hard could certainly result in pain.

“Wuu… don’t stop me, just let me die…” Gu Changsheng pouted, flapping her arms in great sorrow.

Dammit!

One problem had hardly subsided before another arose. The technical issue wasn’t solved yet, and she discovered an even more fatal problem.

Goddammit, how would she face anyone tomorrow?

As Zhou Mu heard this, his heart, barely kindled with hope, was instantly stricken as if by lightning, and his whole being felt plunged into an icy cave.

“Do you dislike this prince that much, that you would rather die than…”

Gu Changsheng didn’t realize that to change the usually stoic Zhou Mu’s expression once was already no small feat, let alone changing it repeatedly!

If his subordinates, who were deeply trusted by him, saw this scene, their jaws would surely drop to the floor…

“What are you talking about? I just realized that our lips will definitely be even more swollen tomorrow, and it makes me feel like my whole life has lost all its luster…” She hit his chest resentfully, and this time, Gu Changsheng was exceptionally shrewd.

Buddha Tathagata, Guanyin Bodhisattva, plus the angelic birdmen, who would come and save her dismal tomorrow?

Slumping out of Zhou Mu’s embrace, Gu Changsheng hugged her head, rolling around in endless turmoil, “What should I do? What should I do? If people see us like this, we won’t just lose face but all our dignity…”

“Flower Peacock would definitely mock us, I can just picture his annoying expression…”

“Xiao Cui and the others would definitely mock us too…”

“My son would definitely…”

Little Meat Bun, Gu Ze, would certainly follow her around asking for a little sister…

Zhou Mu pulled the thin blanket over her, “Alright, it’s deep into autumn, be careful not to catch a cold.”

In the blink of an eye, the blanket was rolled from one side to the other by Gu Changsheng, turning into a round cocoon, then rolled back from the other side to the original…

“Evildoer, you think of something, how are we going to face people tomorrow?” She pointed to her own lips, then to Zhou Mu’s, and Gu Changsheng was on the verge of tears.

Zhou Mu, unfazed, wrapped his arms around the restlessly rolling Gu Changsheng and said calmly, “We’ll face people as we should, and if anyone dares to be nosy, I’ll sew their mouths shut.”
