Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 422: Chapter 286: Insisting on Keeping Someone Until the Fifth Watch_2 Chapter 422: Chapter 286: Insisting on Keeping Someone Until the Fifth Watch_2 Gu Changsheng quickly lifted the clothing on Borjigin Nian’s shoulder, revealing beneath a patch of bruised skin, where the trail of a wriggling insect could be clearly seen.

Having lost the senses of its Feeder, the Gu insects were clearly in a frenzied state, wriggling ever faster.

With one hand, Gu Changsheng shaved off the fingertip of a severed finger; with quick eyes and nimble hands, her blade intercepted the Gu insect’s path.

The moment the scalpel lifted the skin of Borjigin Nian, Gu Changsheng brought the severed finger close to the incision made by the blade.

The blood remaining on the severed finger immediately mixed with Borjigin Nian’s blood.

Clearly, compared to Borjigin Nian’s blood, the Gu insects preferred the scent of the blood they were familiar with.

Gu Changsheng watched the Gu insect wriggle at the edge of the wound, slowly moving toward the severed finger’s flesh, a trace of joy flashing across her face.

In the blink of an eye, as the Gu insect exposed its head to suck on the blood from the severed finger, Gu Changsheng’s scalpel swiftly plunged in, mercilessly slicing off a walnut-sized piece of Borjigin Nian’s skin along with the area contaminated by the blood…

Looking at the Gu insect still wriggling and struggling on the ground, Gu Changsheng felt a wave of disgust.

She hated this kind of insect, which reminded her of the filthy things in a latrine…

“My Lady!”

Feeling strength gathering in his body, Si Xi cried out in shock and rushed toward Gu Changsheng.

“Don’t touch the severed finger or that insect on the ground!” Gu Changsheng saw Si Xi and Ning Er rush over without any regard and quickly called out to stop them.

God damn it, it’s all poison!

“My Lady, how did you manage to extract the Gu insect?” Si Xi looked at the Gu insect stuck in the ground with a horrified face, his admiration for his own wife overflowing.

That was a Gu from the Southern Border, the most ancient and mysterious of Gu! A Gu poison that was considered unsolvable by anyone except the caster, and yet his wife had so easily neutralized it!

It was unbelievable!

“If your internal injury isn’t too serious, go to the kitchen now and bring me some firewood and kerosene!” Gu Changsheng, while stopping the bleeding from Borjigin Nian’s wound and putting on some hemostatic medicine she carried, ordered Si Xi and Ning Er.

“Yes!” Si Xi and Ning Er exchanged a glance, didn’t even ask why, and quickly ran toward the kitchen.

They had internal injuries, but such wounds were commonplace for those who were accustomed to killing and battle; it didn’t affect their actions in the slightest.

Gu Changsheng quickly attended to Borjigin Nian’s injuries and then turned to Tan Nv, seeing her face pale as paper, her deep eye sockets closed with her long lashes trembling slightly, and her eyebrows tight as if enduring great pain.

If it hadn’t been for Tan Nv intercepting the Futu Demoness first, Gu Changsheng wouldn’t have been able to gauge the depth of the Futu Demoness so quickly.

Tan Nv, a person of mystery, disliked speaking or showing her face, but at the critical juncture of life and death, she disregarded her own life and insisted on her escape.

Gu Changsheng was not one to like being indebted to others, towards Zhou Mu as much as the people around her!

Lifting the clothing on Tan Nv’s chest, Gu Changsheng could see clearly a palm-sized bruise imprinted precisely over her heart.

With no external injuries, it had to be an internal injury!

Gu Changsheng’s heart trembled!

At such a time, an internal injury was more fatal than an external one!

“Puh!” Another mouthful of fresh blood spilled from the corner of Tan Nv’s lips.

Anxious, Gu Changsheng’s heart shook along, and her face instantly turned as dark as ink.

Internal bleeding!

Tan Nv hadn’t been cursed with a gu, but her internal organs had been impacted!

Acute internal bleeding!

Gu Changsheng pressed one hand on Tan Nv’s wrist and anxiously lifted her eyelid to check her condition.

To her disappointment, Tan Nv had no whites in her eyes! Her eyes were as Gu Changsheng had seen before, a complete Chaos!

Gu Changsheng remembered when the Futu Demoness clashed with Tan Nv, her eyes never dared to directly meet Tan Nv’s chaotic gaze!

Undoubtedly, what people feared the most about Tan Nv were these eyes as deep and unfathomable as Chaos…

“My Lady, stop fussing, with all five organs damaged, Tan Nv is beyond saving!” Kun Nu, standing beside them with a somber voice, could not hide his loss.

He had seen too many injuries like this, with none surviving…

All five organs damaged, even the Great Luo Immortals couldn’t turn back time…

The rough face of Kun Nu couldn’t conceal his sorrow; he and Tan Nv had worked together for many years. Among the Five Great Secret Guards, except for Thirteenth Lady Du and Elder Mo, he and Tan Nv, as well as San Cunding, were almost always with their master. As the youngest and a girl, they had always been especially caring toward her…

After enduring so many great storms over the years, they had not expected to encounter such an outstanding master by Lady Changsheng’s side!

“Shut up!” Gu Changsheng, while busy checking Tan Nv’s injuries, snapped coldly.

Tan Nv can’t die! She still remembered the secret message she received before the fight, telling her to flee!

At that time, she had braced for certain death, to buy time for her escape…

“Tan Nv, Tan Nv, can you hear me? Listen, I’m fine, I’m still alive, and you will be okay too!” Gu Changsheng spoke as she forced a medicinal pill into Tan Nv’s mouth.

This was a Panax ginseng Pill for boosting vital energy…

“My Lady, it’s too late… everything is too late…” Seeing this, Kun Nu shook his head with a pained expression.

With all five organs damaged, what hope was there for survival? In a moment more, Tan Nv would die, her chest swollen…

“You shut your mouth for me!” Gu Changsheng roared with bloodshot eyes. In a moment, silver needles appeared at Gu Changsheng’s fingertips, and she said firmly, “Tan Nv, even if Yama Raja wants you dead by the third watch, I, Gu Changsheng, will make sure you live till the fifth!”
