Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 515: Chapter 373 Regaining New Life

Gu Changsheng asked in utter confusion, ”Is this really true?” Ever since that night she saw Yue Xilou outside the Quiet Room, her memory had gaps, which had yet to be bridged!

She desperately needed someone to clear up her confusion!

Upon hearing her question, Borjigin Nian didn’t hesitate to take on the role of an explainer, recounting in detail every event—from the meeting with Yue Xilou, who had not gone mad from demonic possession, to everything she experienced after waking up from a six-days-and-nights-long slumber—as if spilling beans without missing a single detail!

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Gu Changsheng listened with great interest mixed with a twitching smile...

”Alright, that’s how it is. If it hadn’t been for Little Monk Bu Jie and Tan Nv who saved you, you would probably still be in that place where dreams and spirits mingle, not yet having returned to your senses!” Borjigin Nian, with a dry mouth and tongue after her lengthy explanation, made a concluding remark and hurriedly grabbed the teapot from the table to pour herself a cup of tea.

Gu Changsheng glanced at Borjigin Nian, her mouth twitching again and again, until she finally managed to regain her speech, her voice filled with shock and uncertainty, ”Nian, tell me this isn’t true!”

Godfather! What’s all this about power transmission, hateful victory curses, souls and spirits?

Is this some sort of Celestial Tome? No matter how you put it, nobody else can understand it anyway, can they?

”Absolutely true, every bit of it! If not, where do you think all your inner strength came from? And weren’t you the one who hid your own soul in some corner, unwilling to come back? Aren’t you clearer about it than any of us?” Borjigin Nian retorted with wide eyes upon hearing this.

At her words, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt silent, touching her nose.

Alright then, the world is full of wonders. If she could travel through time to visit her hometown, why couldn’t there be a hateful victory curse or something of the sort?

In any case, this world is actually a fantasy world, right?

Even if it’s not a fantasy world, it’s still imbued with fantastical elements—too pseudo-scientific and not thrilling at all!

”You guys go ahead and leave me alone for a while,” Gu Changsheng somewhat helplessly waved her hand and turned to lie on the bed.

She really needed a private moment with Quietness to sort out her chaotic thoughts!

Seeing her lie down, everyone became worried again.

Mr. Ban Shan promptly stood up from the bedside chair, gripped Gu Changsheng’s hand with concern, and anxiously asked, ”Changsheng’s beloved daughter, do you feel unwell since you’ve just awakened? Should I call the doctor to check your pulse?”

”Foster father, I’m fine, just a little confused. You’ve been taking care of me day and night for so many days, you should go and rest!” Gu Changsheng remembered her foster father and, seeing the fatigue on his face, felt even more remorseful. She quickly got up to escort Mr. Ban Shan out.

”Good, good! It’s all right as long as you’re fine. I’ll be relieved if you’re well. You go back and rest, the Attendant Student will help me return!” Seeing Gu Changsheng looking just like a normal person, Mr. Ban Shan’s heart was put at ease, his wise eyes filled with smiles. He called Yantai, the Attendant Student, over and waved Gu Changsheng away to rest.

”Daughter sees Foster Father off with respect!” Gu Changsheng blessed him with a courteous gesture.

”Yes, yes, go back now!” Mr. Ban Shan turned and again waved at Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng paused, stiffly watching her foster father’s figure disappear around the staircase corner.

”Go back now... Go back now...”

Suddenly, Gu Changsheng’s eyes brimmed with tears. Her grandfather had said the same thing...

Now that she had returned and knew she had been well, would her grandfather no longer be heartbroken?

This reunion, she feared, meant she might never be able to return again in her lifetime...

To that world which was, after all, far away from her and as unfamiliar as a stranger’s path...

”Gu Changsheng, what happened? Why are you crying all of a sudden? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?” Borjigin Nian rushed over and saw Gu Changsheng’s tearful state, instantly becoming flustered.

Gu Changsheng shook her head, unable to hold back the large teardrops that fell.

Grandfather! Even if we never meet again, may we both find peace in our respective lives!

Seeing Gu Changsheng not responding, but crying incessantly, Borjigin Nian became utterly helpless, frantically calling out to the room, ”Flower Peacock! Flower Peacock, come quickly, Gu Changsheng... Gu Changsheng is crying!”

This cry shocked everyone in the room!

Si Xi, holding a small bundle, was the first to rush out, followed by Yue Xilou who also hurried out!

They were used to seeing a cheerfully smiling Gu Changsheng, a Gu Changsheng who laughed carefree and heartily, an ever-optimistic Gu Changsheng—but they had never seen Gu Changsheng cry!

For a moment, not only Borjigin Nian but even Dong Lei didn’t know what to do!

”Wife, wife, don’t scare me!” Dong Lei, tears welling in his eyes, shakily clutched his wife’s sleeve, looking helplessly at the others, ”Could it be that her spirit hasn’t fully returned? I’ve never seen my wife shed tears before! Wuuwuu...”

Everyone looked at Gu Changsheng, surrounded by grief and overwhelmed by sorrow, and their hearts became restless.

If their wife truly hadn’t fully regained her spirit, what were they to do? Tan Nv and Little Monk Bu Jie had both fainted from exhaustion!

”Mommy... wuuwuu...” The little bundle, seeing his mother so sad, let tears swell from his plump eyes.

Gu Changsheng, with tears clouding his eyes, looked at the two chubby little hands stretched out in front of him and instinctively reached out to take them.

Being held in her mother’s arms, the little dumpling immediately switched hands to her mother’s neck and rubbed her little head on her mother’s cheek, ”Mommy don’t cry, mommy hug, mommy don’t cry...”

”Mommy won’t cry!” Gu Changsheng repeated blankly, as tears continued to flow from her eyes. Gradually, she held the little dumpling in her arms tighter and buried her face in his tiny neck, ”Mommy won’t cry, mommy still has you! Mommy only has you now...”

That world, she could never return to!

This was the place where she was to live from now on!

She had promised her grandfather, no matter where, she would live well...

”Gu Changsheng, why don’t you go back and rest for a bit...” Borjigin Nian said with concern.

Gu Changsheng was too emotionally unstable right now, she really needed some time alone to calm down!

Upon hearing the words, Si Xi quickly reached out his hands to take the little dumpling, while Gu Changsheng gave them a glance, nodded, and turned to walk into the house.

She needed some time alone! To settle her emotions!

Lying in bed, Gu Changsheng gradually closed her eyes; all she could see was the image of her grandfather instructing her to live well, so kind and full of hope!

As long as she was alive, no matter where she was, her grandfather would be happy for her!

With this thought, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt at ease!

Indeed, like her grandfather, a person like him would surely be happy to know she was doing well and would definitely live a long and prosperous life!

One dream for two lifetimes, she had been reborn and resolved a deep concern!

Not only that, but she had also gained immense inner strength! Inner strength that others would envy!

Remembering Yue Xilou’s unhesitant choice to give up her own life to pass her inner strength to her, and Tan Nv, who would have defied heaven to drag her stubborn self back to life if Little Monk Bu Jie hadn’t intervened, which might have ended with Tan Nv dead as well...

But now, Xilou was unharmed, Tan Nv was unharmed... and she was not only unharmed but had also obtained great inner strength!

In this world, she had a son, family and friends who would risk their lives for her, and Zhou Mu, who always schemed and planned everything for her. She really shouldn’t ask for too much!

With a life like this, it was enough for Gu Changsheng to be content and happy!

Thinking thus, the relieved Gu Changsheng slowly fell asleep.

When she woke up again, it was already very late, and Gu Changsheng opened the door to see Zhou Zongbao standing guard at the entrance.

Seeing Zhou Zongbao, Gu Changsheng was startled.

”Mother Tigress, you’re finally better. Quickly, come with the Young Master, I’ll take you to get your revenge!” Zhou Zongbao said, relieved to see Gu Changsheng out, and started pulling her by the sleeve to leave.

”Zhou Zongbao, what kind of madness has gotten into you? What revenge?” Gu Changsheng easily pulled away from Zhou Zongbao’s grasp and asked with confusion.

”Don’t you know why you’ve been unconscious for so long?” Zhou Zongbao turned back angrily.

”Well, yes, I was hit with that Hateful Victory Curse, wasn’t I?” Gu Changsheng said calmly.

In fact, she truly needed to thank that curse because otherwise, she wouldn’t have known if she could have gone back to her hometown to ensure her grandfather’s safety.

”I’ll tell you, it was Yan Qinrui that placed that Hateful Victory Curse on you, and I’m going to take you to the City Lord’s Mansion to have her torn to shreds!” Zhou Zongbao said between clenched teeth.

He had always felt indebted to Gu Changsheng, and now that he finally had an opportunity to help her, he didn’t intend to let it slip away and was ready to champion her cause.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng smiled and said, ”Alright, calm down. If she dared to use such a heinous method, she must have made thorough preparations and wouldn’t let us find any evidence!”

Zhou Zongbao immediately glared at her words, slapped his chest, and declared, ”When I take charge, I never bother about evidence. A made-up crime is sufficient! Who dares stand in my way if I want to kill her?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes immediately.

Alright, she was defeated by His Highness Prince Bao, an absolute profligate!

Truly arrogant and self-assured to the extreme!

Seeing that she wasn’t moving, Zhou Zongbao became anxious, ”Gu Changsheng, you even dared to slaughter the Former City Lord’s Mansion; why are you now all tied up? Where has your courage gone? Don’t worry, if something happens, I’ll shoulder it all!”

Hearing that, Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes again and looked at Zhou Zongbao as if he were an idiot, pointing at him and saying, ”You, at least, have been an Emperor for a few Shichen. Now you’re a Prince. Can’t you do things a bit more thoughtfully?”

”When I was resting, I heard the kids outside talking. The Crown Prince of Southern Chen hasn’t left during my unconscious state, and imperial edicts from Northern Mongolia and Liaodong, along with those from the Capital City, have followed one after another. If you start a fight with the City Lord’s Mansion now, has your brain been eaten by a dog?”

”We can’t make a move against the City Lord’s Mansion! I have to wait for Yan Qinrui to walk into her own demise!”
