Chapter 463: Chapter 322 Fishing for Gu Insects

”Ah!”

A sudden vibration from the tip of her finger startled Gu Changsheng into exclaiming aloud.

”Lady!”

”My lord!”

The next instant, Si Xi and Kun Nu Ning Er had already appeared in the side room.

They had heard Lady Changsheng’s cry from afar and were so frightened that their souls threatened to leave their bodies. How could they dare to think of anything else?

Even with Huo Shuixian’s acupoints sealed, it didn’t change the fact that she was a dangerous evildoer!

Moreover, she was adept at using the mysterious Gu techniques of Miaojiang, which made them extremely wary!

If anything were to happen to Lady Changsheng, then...

Thus, they didn’t even dare to think about it and rushed in immediately!

”Lady, are you alright?” Si Xi looked at his mistress’s stiffened body, a sudden foreboding feeling overcoming him, he timidly asked.

Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, turned her head stiffly like a mummy and stammered, ”Do I look like I’m fine to you?”

Damn it! The pads of her fingers were so painful! So very, very painful!

All fingers are connected to the heart! The pain was incredibly real!

It felt like she was bitten by a wolf mosquito...

”Lady...” Si Xi’s eyes filled with tears upon hearing her words, he shook the iron whip in his hand that concealed inner strength, ready to charge at Huo Shuixian, his voice filled with indignant screams, ”Si Xi is going to take this bitch’s wretched life to relieve Lady’s Gu!”

What a big deal it was! Wasn’t he doing all this for Lady Changsheng? If something happened to Lady Changsheng, what reason did Huo Shuixian have to live!

Seeing Si Xi rushing towards her with a look of desperation, Gu Changsheng hurriedly waved her free hand and said anxiously, ”Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? Don’t come over here, there are insects!”

Si Xi, upon hearing this, first showed fear on his face, but then it quickly returned to normal.

Insects? Gu insects?

So what? Nothing must happen to Lady Changsheng!

Even if it cost his life, he had to kill Huo Shuixian to free his lady from the Gu!

Hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, not just Si Xi, but Kun Nu and Ning Er also quickly gathered around.

”Hey, hey, hey! Don’t come over! I’m fine! What are you all crowding around for, trying to make a presence felt? Get out, get out!” Gu Changsheng, seeing the opposite effect, waved her hands again and shouted.

Damn it, these three fools, instead of retreating, were pressing on!

”Lady, don’t be afraid. Killing the Gu Cultivation Master should relieve the Gu, shouldn’t it?” Si Xi stopped not far in front of his lady, speaking with resolve.

Gu Changsheng heard this and immediately rolled her eyes in despair, then glared at Si Xi and barked, ”Damn it, why don’t you ever hope for something good for me? Who needs the Gu removed? None of you were cursed with a Gu poison!”

Si Xi, upon hearing this, was suddenly shocked, his face clouded with uncertainty as he spoke, ”We haven’t been cursed with Gu poison, but Lady...”

”If you guys are so dumb to not get cursed by a Gu, how could I, such a smart person, fall for that little bitch’s tricks? Little Si Xi, you’re really thinking too much!” Gu Changsheng retorted with an eye roll.

Si Xi was immediately stunned, and Kun Nu and Ning Er also stiffened.

”Then why did Lady exclaim earlier?”

Gu Changsheng replied with a purse of her lips, righteously responding, ”Why else would I exclaim? I was startled!”

Such a dumb question, they could ask it, yet she thought her own response was so stupid!

”Okay, okay, everyone get out, get out. Do you really think my Medicine Tower is so freely accessible by anyone? Hurry up and get out, guard the place, and don’t come in unless I call for you!” Gu Changsheng waved her hands impatiently.

Damn it, her fingertips were numb, did you know? They were almost numb to any sensation, did you know?

If these people didn’t leave soon, she, Gu Changsheng, was going to explode, did you understand?

Things must not be delayed like this!

”No! Lady, we cannot feel at ease with you alone with the malicious Huo Shuixian. Lady, Si Xi is not leaving!” Si Xi said after lowering his head to ponder for a moment, shaking his head with finality in his voice.

No! They absolutely could not let Lady Changsheng be alone with Huo Shuixian anymore!

His heart was in his throat. If he could not see with his own eyes, he would worry himself to death sooner or later!

Seeing the determined look on Si Xi’s young face, Gu Changsheng helplessly nodded, ”Alright, alright, Little Si Xi will stay here with me, now you all can rest assured, right? Kun Nu, Ning Er, go outside and guard!”

Kun Nu and Ning Er looked at each other, then nodded their heads, and before leaving, they still couldn’t help looking at Si Xi worriedly.

Soon, in the room, besides the unconscious Huo Shuixian, only Gu Changsheng and Si Xi were left. Seeing that Kun Nu and Ning Er had walked out, Gu Changsheng’s face immediately sagged and she looked at Si Xi with a pitiful expression, ”Oh, Si Xi, your lady is in so much pain...”

Her fingers were in so much pain! Oh my god, she had been bitten by an insect!

”Lady, what’s wrong?” Si Xi, upon hearing this, immediately approached two steps closer, his eyes full of urgency while looking at his lady.

Seeing his concern, Gu Changsheng’s playful mood faded, and she blinked her large eyes and fixed her gaze on Si Xi not far away, speaking with spirit, ”Si Xi, how about I do a magic trick for you?”

”Huh?” Si Xi’s head hadn’t quite caught up with his lady’s sudden change of subject, and he opened his mouth in astonishment...

”It’s a trick! How about I perform a trick for you?” Gu Changsheng, as if afraid that he wouldn’t understand, raised her eyebrows and explained very nicely.

”Uh...” Si Xi suddenly found himself at a loss for words...

In such a moment, even though the enemy was under control, that was still an enemy, right?

In the face of the enemy, his Lady Changsheng still had the mood to perform tricks!

This was just... there was no one else like her!

However, clearly, Gu Changsheng didn’t intend to give him the chance to retort and spiritedly began, ”This trick, you see... is called ’Fishing for Gu Insects’!”

Si Xi: ”...”

With a snap of her fingers, Gu Changsheng began with a radiant gleam in her phoenix eyes, ”The moment to witness a miracle has arrived...”

Oh my god! She must borrow Liu Qian’s classic line to pull a fast one on someone!

Originally, she even intended to keep this secret from Si Xi, and now that she could no longer hide it, what then?

Better to just be open and honest!

As Gu Changsheng’s words fell, she abruptly stretched out the hand she was hiding behind her back, with her middle finger dangling, and gave it a bright shake right in front of Si Xi...

”Ah!”

This time, it wasn’t Gu Changsheng who cried out in surprise, but Si Xi!

He looked at Gu Changsheng’s finger with horror-stricken eyes, panic-stricken, taking two steps back to steady himself, one hand covering his mouth to prevent another outcry, and the other hand shakily pointing at his Lady Changsheng, stuttering, ”This... this...”

Seeing him like this, Gu Changsheng felt utterly satisfied!

Look, not only was she scared, Little Si Xi was too, wasn’t he?

While removing the Gu insect that was biting her fingertip, Gu Changsheng spoke with a light and breezy tone, ”This is a Gu insect. Although I can’t identify what type it is exactly, it’s undoubtedly a Gu insect...”

Si Xi looked at the Gu insect tossed not far from his feet, his expression still one of disbelief and uncertainty, ”Gu... Gu insect... Lady, you...”

He hadn’t seen it wrong, had he? That Gu insect was clearly sticking to his Lady’s hand!

”I’m fine!” Gu Changsheng shrugged her shoulders and opened her eyes wide with feigned innocence, ”Your Lady here is quite impressive! I’m not afraid of these Gu insects. Look, here I am, ’Fishing for Gu Insects,’ right?”

At her words, Si Xi was instantly horrified!

His Lady wasn’t afraid of Gu insects! Not afraid! Not afraid!

This realization overturned what he had previously believed!

In his mind, the Gu, mysterious and ancient, possessed a terrifyingly lethal power!

Some could seal your throat upon contact with blood, others could capture one’s mind...

But against all odds, his Lady was unharmed...

Suddenly, Si Xi understood why the Futu Demoness had such a look of terror in her eyes before she died...

Even she probably didn’t expect that his Lady Changsheng would not be afraid of Gu!

”Si Xi, this is just the beginning. Huo Shuixian is a Gu Cauldron with her body, and inside her, there’s not just one Gu insect, y’ know. Just wait, I’ll catch another one for you!” said Gu Changsheng, and as she spoke, she placed her still-bleeding fingertip against Huo Shuixian’s bleeding palm.

In an instant, Gu Changsheng withdrew her hand, then plucked off another Gu insect, ”Another one! It’s still damn ugly!”

Gu Changsheng waved her hand in disgust and again threw the dead Gu insect away...

Si Xi: ”...”

”This one’s even uglier! Damn it!”

”...”

”Wow! This time I caught two at once!” Gu Changsheng exclaimed with delight.

Si Xi followed her gaze, and indeed, there were two insects!

His Lady Changsheng wasn’t just playing around with this ’Fishing for Gu Insects’—it was way more impressive than fishing! And it even came with a twin catch!

Gu Changsheng looked disdainfully at the two Gu insects and muttered to herself, ”Pink-colored mating Gu insects... could this be the United Heart Gu? Specifically designed to ensnare a man’s heart, it’s a good thing I’m one step ahead. Otherwise, if the evildoer fell for this bitch’s tricks and got hit with this United Heart Gu, I’d have nowhere to cry!”

Being cursed with a United Heart Gu would make one fall in love with the Gu Cultivation Master, and it was that kind of unswerving love until stones crumble and seas dry up. Legend had it that this type of Gu was originally raised by Miaojiang girls to prevent their men from straying. Turns out, the rumors were true!

Gu Changsheng disdainfully tossed the two United Heart Gu on the ground, then turned around to continue fishing!

”Oh my god! Huo Shuixian really lives up to being a Gu Cauldron, how many insects does she have inside her?” Gu Changsheng said, busily engaged in catching Gu insects and sounding horrified.

She was getting tired from all this insect-catching, alright? It was like catching a sack full each time!

Hearing this, Si Xi quickly nodded, indeed, the ground by his feet was already covered with dead Gu insects like thread ends!

”Whoever marries her, what’s the difference between that and marrying a pile of insects? Hugging her is like hugging a pair of Little Bugs; just thinking about it freaks me out!” Gu Changsheng said, sympathetically shivering, ”Luckily, I won’t give her the chance to bring disaster upon the world!”

She was actually doing a good deed!

Because Huo Shuixian’s fate was already sealed by her!

”Phew... Done!” Looking at the dense mass of dead Gu insects on the ground, then at the unconscious Huo Shuixian, Gu Changsheng’s face broke into an evil smile...
