Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 521: Chapter 378: The Bizarre Maverick Against Heaven

”Sir!”

”My lady!”

As they spoke, everyone rushed towards where Gu Changsheng had fallen!

”Ah! It’s going to hit!” Gu Changsheng caught the falling medicine bottle with one hand and saw that not far below her, Si Xi, Ning Er, and Kun Nu were already stretching out their hands ready to catch her.

But damn gravity!

Her authentic hundred-and-some pounds were about to smash down, and this was no joke!

How much force would that take? Probably more than a small force meter could measure!

In a flash of insight, to avoid injuring her family, Gu Changsheng tiptoed on one foot over the other and performed a backward somersault in midair, plunging toward the area beside them!

”Damn it! Betrayed me!” Seeing the paving stone so close, Gu Changsheng’s face darkened as she instinctively pressed her hand down towards the ground.

The next instant, before Gu Changsheng’s palm hit the ground, her whole body rebounded upwards, but this time the trajectory was much less than falling from the second floor.

With one knee on the ground to stabilize her form, Gu Changsheng widened her eyes, looking at her hand in disbelief, exclaiming, ”Damn! That actually worked?”

She had merely condensed the ”Inner Strength” in her body into her hand, hoping it would stop her descent, but unexpectedly, it not only eased her fall but also allowed her to land unharmed!

Filled with a sense of security and joy upon landing safely, Gu Changsheng felt as if there was a force inside her, like a gentle stream flowing slowly through her limbs and meridians, soothing and suitable, making her incredibly comfortable!

”My lady, are you alright? Did you hurt your knees? What about the rest of your body?” Si Xi hurried over frantically, checking her in a fluster.

”Mommy, Mommy, why did you jump off the building? It’s so high! Did it hurt when you fell?” The little meat bun also rushed over, sitting on the ground, staring intently at her mother’s knees.

”My lady, are you okay? Please don’t scare Si Xi!” Si Xi was almost crying, bewildered and unsure what to do.

Gu Changsheng, maintaining her kneeling pose, stiffly turned her neck like a puppet being manipulated, looking at Si Xi in confusion, saying, ”Xiao Si Xi... I think I’ve achieved enlightenment...”

The thing flowing inside her body definitely wasn’t blood!

There was only one possibility!

This was the Inner Strength she had absorbed from Yue Xilou over more than a sixty-year cycle!

”What did you say?”

The response to Gu Changsheng wasn’t from Si Xi but from the shocked exclamation of Yue Xilou!

Yue Xilou and Borjigin Nian, hearing the commotion from the front courtyard, had come together. Before they even approached the Medical Tower, they heard the cries of Si Xi and the others, rushing over, and then heard what Gu Changsheng had just said!

Hearing this, Yue Xilou was totally thrown off!

It definitely couldn’t be the type of enlightenment he was thinking of! Gu Changsheng’s understanding couldn’t possibly be what he was imagining!

If it was! He really might go bash his head against the wall in frustration!

The knocking outside the door had evolved into banging, but everyone inside was deaf to it, all fixated on Gu Changsheng kneeling on the ground, with disbelief on their faces!

What they were most concerned about now was what exactly Gu Changsheng had realized!

Gu Changsheng awkwardly turned her head to look at Yue Xilou, muttering to herself, ”I think I can feel the Inner Strength in my body, like a gentle spring flowing slowly, and I can make it stop moving or circulate it quickly...”

”No!” Hearing this, Yue Xilou’s devastatingly beautiful face contorted, he stared wide-eyed in disbelief, saying solemnly, ”Impossible! That sixty years of Inner Strength has been in my body for over twenty years, I can’t even sense it, how could you possibly integrate and control it freely within a day or two? Impossible!”

”Gu Changsheng! You’re deceiving the Tower Master!”

The moment Yue Xilou glared accusingly at Gu Changsheng!

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng instantly became unhappy. Damn it, she was so sincere, how could she possibly engage in such a dishonest affair?

”Damn Flower Peacock, if you can’t handle it, does it mean I must fail like you?” Gu Changsheng got up from the ground, holding the medicine bottle in one hand, and instantly reached for Yue Xilou’s neck with her free hand.

”Ah! Gu Changsheng, what are you doing!” Borjigin Nian, taken aback by Gu Changsheng’s sudden move, exclaimed.

”I’ll show him if it’s really controllable!” Gu Changsheng said, continuing her movement.

As Yue Xilou saw her attack coming, he merely frowned slightly but did nothing to resist, standing completely still.

Gu Changsheng concentrated the gentle spring of Inner Strength in her body into her palm, reaching straight for Yue Xilou’s neck.

What stunned everyone was that as Changsheng’s Mother approached, Yue Xilou’s body uncontrollably moved backward, maintaining a distance of about a foot from her reaching hand...

As he was pushed back, Yue Xilou’s face turned darker and darker until it almost seemed to drip ink.

”Enough!”

Suddenly, Yue Xilou coldly shouted, waving his sleeve adorned in five-colored clothes, and twisted his body to dodge to the side.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng then withdrew her hand, blinking her innocent large eyes at the furiously gasping Yue Xilou.

”Girl! You are a genius, a marvel!” Yue Xilou admitted the fact reluctantly after calming his fluctuating heart.

”Gaga! I just unfortunately jumped down from the upstairs, ouch, Flower Peacock, you have no idea how scared I was! If it hadn’t been for a spark of inspiration to use my strength to bounce to the side, I wouldn’t have flattened myself, and Si Xi and the others would have been flattened by me!” Gu Changsheng said with a smiling face, turned around, walked over to his little meat bun sitting on the ground, scooped him up, and carefully massaged the lump on his son’s forehead.

”It’s so unfair, Heavenly Dao is really too unfair! Girl, I really want to tear you apart!” Yue Xilou looked at the mother and son in front of him, sighing helplessly.

”I’m just a bit luckier, that’s all!” Gu Changsheng said carelessly, continuing his movements.

”Hmph! I worried for nothing! Those petty thugs outside can’t hurt you and your son; I’m going back!” Yue Xilou huffed coldly and turned to walk back to the backyard.

Borjigin Nian looked confusedly at one, then the other, and finally looked at Gu Changsheng with doubt, cautiously asking, ”So... um, Gu Changsheng, you couldn’t possibly really be controlling that full cycle of sixty years worth of Inner Strength, right? Flower Peacock was just acting with you, right?”

It must be so! How could anyone have a Sudden Enlightenment without a teacher?

That’s an entire Cycle of sixty years worth of Inner Strength! You think it’s as simple as eating plain rice?

It must have been Flower Peacock coordinating with Gu Changsheng’s movements to retreat backward! It has to be!

”Otherwise, what do you think?” Gu Changsheng shrugged noncommittally.

If Gu Changsheng had made excuses, Borjigin Nian might still have hope!

But her nonchalant demeanor crushed Borjigin Nian’s hope instantly!

After her disillusionment, Borjigin Nian felt indignant, pointing at Gu Changsheng with a heartbroken voice accusing, ”Gu Changsheng! That’s a whole cycle of sixty years worth of Inner Strength! And you just inexplicably became a master?”

”This is too fair! Gu Changsheng, you freak of nature! You’re not human! We can’t have fun together anymore. You go fight by yourself! I’m going to find Flower Peacock, to comfort my injured little heart!” Borjigin Nian finished her tirade and instantly twisted her waist to chase after him to the backyard, ”Hey! Flower Peacock, wait for me! I’ll cry with you!”

”Tsk!” Gu Changsheng watched Borjigin Nian’s tearful departure, scoffing disdainfully, ”She clearly just has the opposite sex, no friends, yet she insists on finding such a dignified reason! Seriously despicable!”

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement!

Gu Changsheng’s fingers gently massaged around the bump on little meat bun’s forehead, asking softly, ”Does it hurt? It’s all mom’s fault, I won’t let it happen again, I’ll be very careful!”

”Mom, don’t worry! It doesn’t hurt!” The little meat bun looked up and gave his mother a big smile.

Gu Changsheng felt a warmth in her heart, her fingers moving even more gently!

”Bang!”

”Bang!”

”You inside, open up! Hand over the Young Master of Li Mansion!”

”How dare you commoners detain the descendant of Marquis of Weiyuan. Open up and come with us to the Government Office for punishment!”

”Crash it! Even if you have to crash it, you need to break it open!”

”...”

The arrogant yelling outside made Gu Changsheng frown, the noise disturbing her from peacefully tending to her son’s bruises.

”So noisy!” Gu Changsheng grimaced, raising her hand to wave at the front door.

”Boom!”

The eight doors of Gu Residence boomed and fell outward with the force of thunder!

”Godfather!”

”Be careful!”

”My leg!”

”Momma!”

”...”

The voices that had been extremely arrogant just a moment ago instantly dissipated, turning into howls and cries.

”Tsk! Such little courage, yet daring to barge into my residence, simply overestimating yourselves!” Gu Changsheng coldly scolded, and bowed her head to continue medicating her son. ”Boys, go and prop up our door panels properly. Those outsiders who dare to trespass deserve being crushed. No reason they should destroy my door panels though!”

Her door panels are so expensive! Top-notch Iron Fir Wood! They are also so heavy! Enough to crush you all!

”No! Impossible! This can’t be!” Outside, protected on one side by her maid, not affected by the doors, Yhan Qinrui, with a ghost-stricken face, stared at the figure she despised to the bone in the Medical hall.

Gu Changsheng! Gu Changsheng is still alive!

This can’t be!

Yhan Qinrui’s right arm trembled uncontrollably! She shook her head vehemently.

”Heir’s wife! The door panels are truly fine! Hee hee!” Song Mu and Song Lin, the brothers, managed to prop up a panel and eagerly turned to report.

”Then fix them up properly again!” Gu Changsheng didn’t turn around, continued her medication on the little meat bun, and casually asked, ”Heir’s wife, long time no see, hope all is well?”
