Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 350: Chapter 225 Don’t Force Me to Be a Spicy Hand Flower Destroyer Chapter 350: Chapter 225 Don’t Force Me to Be a Spicy Hand Flower Destroyer Gu Changsheng felt it must have been because she didn’t check the almanac before leaving the house and was having an unlucky streak that she ran into this bewitching schemer again!

“Xiao Leizi ah…” Gu Changsheng called out plaintively, her red clothes dazzling, fluttering without any wind, desperately wishing she could ride the wind away.

“Wife?” Dong Lei, who was closely following her, looked puzzled at his own wife. How come his normally vibrant and energetic wife looked so defeated and despondent when facing Miss Huo?

“Xiao Leizi, you must remember, before we go out next time, we must grab Little Monk Bu Jie and have him check the almanac for us to avoid running into such vexing people,” Gu Changsheng seriously pulled Dong Lei aside and earnestly instructed him.

She really didn’t want to face this schemer. It was not that she minded so much, but Miss Huo surely did, as her hostility was hardly concealed!

Gu Changsheng felt that if she were faced with a robust man, she could resolve matters with unapologetic violence, but when faced with a beauty like a delicate flower, she always felt a faint sense of guilt after taking action.

A beauty is a beauty, after all! Beauties should be treated as such; it made no sense for them to always come out worse off when dealing with her!

And yet, Miss Huo from the Huo Family was someone who just didn’t learn, always making her way to Gu Changsheng’s side. Making her way over was one thing, but she always did things that begged for a beating–that was the real trouble for Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng was someone who genuinely pitied the fairer sex!

By forcing her to be harsh, this truly was downright unreasonable!

“Rest assured, wife, I’ve got it!” Seeing his wife so serious, Dong Lei naturally didn’t dare slack off. He immediately nodded his head vigorously, indicating he would keep it in mind.

Gu Changsheng was very pleased with this. She felt that her compatibility with Miss Huo was terrible, their elemental sides clashed, and every encounter left her in a foul mood.

“Gu Changsheng, don’t tell me you’re feeling inferior and thus, not daring to face me,” came Huo Shuixian’s arrogantly self-assured voice once more, “It’s true, after all, considering who you are, having the chance to meet me is an honor for you. Feeling inferior is only natural.”

Miss? Tsk tsk…

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but curl her lips disdainfully, dammit, she had graciously avoided using the term miss, but this girl just had to stick the label on herself!

And the thing is, with Huo Shuixian’s looks, she would have been the undisputed top courtesan in modern times! Her beauty was off the charts, it was just that her personality was utterly unlikable.

“Wife, what does she mean by that? She should consider it an honor to see you! How come she still hasn’t learned her lesson after losing twice? She doesn’t know how to watch her words even when she’s in someone else’s home, and yet she’s from a high official’s family. My mother has better manners than her!” Dong Lei muttered in dissatisfaction.

Miss Huo from the Huo Family really was too annoying!

She deserved to be trounced by his wife time and again!

“Xiao Leizi, remember to remind me later that we mustn’t lose our temper while in someone else’s home, got it?” Gu Changsheng felt she was also someone who knew propriety and wouldn’t behave improperly.

She had important business today after all; her precious son was at home eagerly waiting for Mr. Ban Shan.

Seeing Dong Lei nod, Gu Changsheng proceeded into the main hall with a steady gaze.

At the doorway, the watchdog sneered contemptuously which she chose to ignore, her spine as straight as ever, just like always.

Inside the main hall, an Eight Immortals table was placed in the center with two chairs on each side.

Huo Shuixian was seated in light lotus-colored attire, gracefully occupying the left head seat and sipping tea, her posture just as enchanting and her features even more alluring than the day before.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng’s lashes lowered slightly. A beauty was indeed a beauty, charming both in movement and stillness, creating a picturesque scene all on her own.

Left was honored, but the chair on the left had already been claimed. Gu Changsheng did not fuss about such details and calmly took the seat to the right head, directly opposite Huo Shuixian, her gaze unabashedly fixed on Huo Shuixian’s face.

Beautiful! Flawlessly beautiful! Worthy of being called the number one beauty in the land!

Having the rare chance to observe a beauty in such peace and tranquility, Gu Changsheng naturally wouldn’t let it pass, staring without even blinking.

“Gu Changsheng, have you stared enough?” Huo Shuixian elegantly set down her teacup, looking disdainfully at the person across from her.

“Ah… Miss, don’t talk, your sharp and harsh tone ruins the beauty!” Gu Changsheng sighed, kindly advising her.

“You!” Huo Shuixian was momentarily choked up, at a loss for a response.

“Miss, the last couple of times we met, things ended on a sour note. Believe me, it’s truly against my wishes,” Gu Changsheng said as she took a teacup from Dong Lei and sipped leisurely, her demeanour as light as a breeze as she explained, “We had no quarrels or grudges to start with; it was only because of Zhou Mu that these troubles arose. To that, I just want to say, why should women make things difficult for other women?”

“Miss Huo, if you don’t make life difficult for me, I, Gu Changsheng, swear that I will not make life difficult for you either. Can’t we live in harmony?”

Dammit, she was here to invite Mr. Ban Shan! She might as well play the meek part first to avoid this girl causing another scene suddenly.

Seeing his wife behave like this, Dong Lei couldn’t help but shake his head. Didn’t she realize the more nonchalant and indifferent she acted, the angrier Miss Huo would become?

Indeed, Huo Shuixian was very angry at the moment, as the fitting smile on her stunning face was cracking bit by bit.

“Gu Changsheng, you still have the nerve to speak! If it weren’t for your despicable means, how could Brother Mu have fallen into your tender trap and be unable to extricate himself?” Huo Shuixian gritted her teeth as she spoke, the hatred in her eyes stemming from the depths of her heart, “You caused me to lose face in front of everyone, and you injured my maid; and now you come to me talking about peaceful coexistence?”

“Haha! Brother Mu is mine alone! I disdain to coexist with you! And you are not worthy!”

Gu Changsheng looked at the woman in front of him whose face was charming but whose expression was fierce, and he helplessly held his forehead, “Miss, if you want Zhou Mu, just go find him. Why waste your time on me unnecessarily?”

Damn right, she simply didn’t believe this lady came to Mr. Ban Shan’s place specifically to block her way!

“Slut! I will make Brother Mu change his mind, but I won’t let you off either!” Huo Shuixian’s gaze was piercing, her eyes intense as if they were tangible, pointing straight at Gu Changsheng.

Upon hearing these words, Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes dangerously narrowed, and her fingers slowly clenched into fists.

“Wife! Don’t forget what we came here for!” Dong Lei quickly stepped forward to remind her.

Gu Changsheng remembered the purpose of her visit, hurriedly curbed her anger, and returned the look undauntedly, “Miss, let me remind you once again, mind your words and be cautious, and don’t force me to destroy the beauty with my ruthless hand!”

That little bitch actually dared to curse her! Damn it!

She indeed had a talent for infuriating people, she really wanted to tear off that beautiful skin!

Seeing this, Huo Shuixian scoffed disdainfully, looked over at the two boys who had come with Gu Changsheng, and pointed with her white jade hand, “Bundles of salted meat, are these your offering to request a teacher?”

Gu Changsheng withdrew her gaze and looked down slightly, not even bothering to look at her.

She had decided not to speak to this scheming bitch anymore; if she talked too much, she’d find it hard to resist punching someone.

“Do you know who the owner of this house is?” Huo Shuixian asked with a hooked corner of her mouth, not waiting for Gu Changsheng to answer, and laughed mockingly to herself, “I ask too much, since you’ve come to request, you must already know Uncle Zhou’s identity. With that in mind, you still have the face to ask? You truly are an uncultured person who doesn’t understand the fame of Uncle Zhou!”

“With your lowly background, you actually dare to request Uncle Zhou’s assistance; you might as well take a mirror and look at yourself, do you think you’re worthy?”

Gu Changsheng impatiently shook her head and refrained from responding, but in her heart, she began to beat the drums of concern.

This Miss Huo Family kept referring to Mr. Ban Shan as Uncle Zhou, it was clear at a glance that the families were old acquaintances!

She, Gu Changsheng, was peculiarly beset by continuous hardships; to find that Mr. Ban Shan, and her rival were old friends was seriously an unfortunate piece of news.

“Gu Changsheng, let alone requesting Uncle Zhou’s return, he might not even be willing to see you. If you know what’s good for you, you would leave quickly! Don’t waste your time here!” Huo Shuixian jeered with a mocking smile, “And even if Uncle Zhou were to lower himself to meet you, I won’t let you have your way.”

“Gu Changsheng, everything you want to have and already possess, I will make it all vanish into smoke, I want you to have nothing, less than a pig or a dog!” Huo Shuixian’s face was grim, each word she spoke was clear and distinct.

“Ah…” Gu Changsheng sighed helplessly, “A green bamboo snake for the mouth, a wasp tail needle, neither one poisonous, the most poisonous is a woman’s heart!”

“You!” Huo Shuixian gritted her teeth in anger.

Gu Changsheng slowly rose, straightened out her clothes, and nonchalantly arched her eyebrow, “Miss, choosing the wrong enemy can be fatal, and if you wish to leave me with nothing, you’d better have the skills! What’s the point of all this verbal bravado?”

“Although I disdain to be your enemy, if you insist on biting down on me and not letting go, you can’t blame me for the consequences!”

Having said that, Gu Changsheng didn’t even give Huo Shuixian a glance, and instructed Dong Lei, “Let’s wait in the courtyard instead; the air here is severely polluted, truly unbearable to endure.”

“Yes!” Dong Lei responded, following Gu Changsheng as they walked out towards the main hall.

“Gu Changsheng, you won’t be able to request Uncle Zhou’s help!” Huo Shuixian yelled at Gu Changsheng’s retreating figure.

Without turning her head, Gu Changsheng replied indifferently, “There’s nothing Gu Changsheng wants to do that can’t be done!”

“Gu Changsheng, how about we make a bet?” Huo Shuixian took a step forward, her voice deep.

“A bet?” Gu Changsheng paused at the doorway and looked back, “Bet on what?”

“If you can’t get Uncle Zhou to help, you must not meddle with Brother Mu ever again!” Huo Shuixian’s voice was cold and emphatic.

Without Brother Mu’s protection, she thought eliminating this lowlife would be easy! Huo Shuixian’s eyes flashed with bloodlust; she had always been doted on from a young age, the center of everyone’s attention, except for this woman, who kept making her suffer setbacks! She was determined to make her wish for death, and to suffer excruciating pain!

“Wife!” Dong Lei moved a little closer to his wife and whispered, “You can’t bet on this, my lady. His Highness Prince Mu will be angry if he finds out!”

Using His Highness Prince Mu as a wager was out of the question! If Prince Mu found out about this, who knew how he might react!
