Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 532: Chapter 389: Simple and Rough, No Discussion

Upon hearing these words, a sweetness suddenly surged in Gu Changsheng’s heart!

No matter whether it was Great Zhou or her that he was supposed to protect, this man always had a way of saying something that sent thrills from the bottom of her heart!

This feeling was like being bathed in a Spring Breeze, soothing throughout!

At this moment, what did it matter if the armies of the Three Kingdoms were pressing down on them, or if tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Liuzhou City were glaring fiercely? None of that seemed important anymore!

Gu Changsheng was someone who cherished the present moment greatly!

Easily content and easily blissful!

Although the saying goes, ’Without long-term concerns there will be immediate worries,’ Gu Changsheng, after making plans for distant worries, truly enjoyed the present before those worries could arrive!

To say she lived in an easygoing manner wasn’t an overstatement!

”Amitabha! All is well, all is well!”

Suddenly, a Buddhist chant was heard, and Gu Changsheng, who had been reveling in sweetness, instantly bounced out of Zhou Mu’s embrace and glared at the Little Monk Bu Jie who had popped up unexpectedly!

”Bloody hell, Little Monk Bu Jie, are you related to the Earth-Walking Monk or something? You don’t make a sound when you move!” Gu Changsheng pretended to be angry as she glared and yelled.

Damn it! Was the Little Monk Bu Jie standing just one step away from them or not?

What had they just been doing?

They had been cooing and cuddling in front of a monk, no! A young monk!

This... this was really too embarrassing!

Damn it, if this disturbed the Buddhist heart of Little Monk Bu Jie, her Taoist master would know about it, wouldn’t he come to fight her to the death?

Little Monk Bu Jie still had a compassionate and benevolent look, his hands pressed together in prayer. He said in all seriousness, ”Benefactor Changsheng, rest assured, I see no evil, I hear no evil. I’ve seen nothing, heard nothing!”

Upon hearing these words, Gu Changsheng was immediately choked up!

Damn, such self-deceptive talk! As self-deluding as it gets!

”I say, Little Monk, at least when people cover their ears to steal bells, they pretend to cover their ears. You, with your big ears and eyes, have the nerve to say you’ve seen nothing, heard nothing?” Gu Changsheng said with a smirk and an embarrassed expression.

Felt like being caught cheating in bed, right?

And damn, the one catching them was none other than the Little Monk Bu Jie, a monk!

How weird that felt!

He said he saw nothing, heard nothing, but that was definitely a lie! Believe it if you like, but she didn’t. When she turned around, Little Monk Bu Jie was staring right at them with his big, bright eyes!

Damn it, not only was Little Monk Bu Jie not vegetarian, he bloody wasn’t chaste either!

This truly was an incomparably unique little monk, shining through the ages!

Upon hearing this, Little Monk Bu Jie slightly bowed his head, and his shining bald head nearly blinded Gu Changsheng, forcing her to look away, unable to bear the sight.

Past experience told her not to take Little Monk Bu Jie too seriously, as there’d be no end to it. He was just that heartless and lungless sort who only cared about eating meat and chanting scriptures!

”Benefactor Changsheng, you called for me, for what matter?” Little Monk Bu Jie’s hands remained pressed together, his little head refusing to lift, smartly changing the subject.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately rolled her eyes and confidently replied, ”Of course I’m saving you from fire and water, aren’t I? By bringing you out of Peach Blossom Cottage, you won’t have to fret over that fence anymore, right?”

The moment Gu Changsheng brought up the fence, Little Monk Bu Jie immediately raised his head, his gaze fixated intensely on Zhou Mu beside her. In his usually calm voice, an unusual hint of frustration appeared, ”As for this matter, it is the fault of Benefactor Zhou. I am merely shouldering the blame unnecessarily!”

It really wasn’t him who had broken the fence!

It was clearly Benefactor Zhou who was the culprit!

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately raised an eyebrow!

Alright then, damn it, Little Monk Bu Jie truly had a deep resentment for that fence. If he lacked the talent of a carpenter and harbored this grudge for so long, then that’s not his fault!

As for Zhou Mu, who destroyed her fence, she wasn’t in the mood to pursue that right now!

If they wanted to pretend to deal in cures and trinkets, she would let them be. She’d stay out of it and loftily hang it up; she would ask no questions, bother no one, and happily do as she pleased!

”Alright, Little Monk Bu Jie, since you’re so deeply affected, lacking the talent to be a carpenter really isn’t your fault. If anything, it’s a sin on the part of your late parents for not bearing an all-capable child!” Gu Changsheng waved her hand, her voice laced with teasing.

Upon hearing this, Little Monk Bu Jie glared at Gu Changsheng, but then quickly felt it was wrong to glare at someone, and hastily chanted a Buddhist verse, ”Amitabha! Not reckless, not angry, not reckless, not angry...”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng exchanged a look with Zhou Mu, and they both shook their heads in agreement.

This Little Monk Bu Jie, it won’t be long before he’s fashioned into a Golden Body and placed upon an altar for worship!

Such a young age, and yet so unlovable!

”Little Monk, I’ll tell you... why don’t you go to the main gate and recite the Sutra of Rebirth, I think I’ve taken a life again...” Gu Changsheng rubbed her hands together, tentatively speaking out.

Dammit, Little Monk Bu Jie is so superstitious!

The signboard of her Medical Tower was changed just because he insisted, and if a water jar in the residence isn’t placed correctly, he’d nag about it for ages!

Gu Changsheng was genuinely a bit scared of his superstition!

”What? Killing is killing, what’s there to sound good about? You actually committed murder right at the entrance to the residence!”

Just as Gu Changsheng had expected, in the next moment, Little Monk Bu Jie immediately lifted his head, his face soft and kind, but his eyes were full of condemnation!

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng promptly shook his hands and begged with a pleading face, ”Don’t be angry just yet, dammit, let me tell you, you can’t ask me to change the signboard again, there’s no end to this torment!”

”Amitabha! My sins, my sins! Benefactor Zhou was already deeply mired in the sin of killing, and now you, Benefactor Changsheng, have also recklessly committed murder! Sins, oh my sins!” Hearing this, Little Monk Bu Jie immediately brought his hands together and lowered his head, looking like he pitied all beings.

”Hey! Don’t blame me for this, I killed that old witch! She cast that Hateful Victory Curse on me, if I hadn’t killed her, would we just let her threaten the lives of me and my mother whenever she pleased?” Gu Changsheng explained right away, ”Besides, the evildoer was a military commander; on the battlefield, where is there no death? How can that be called sin on him then?”

”Benefactor Changsheng, all beings, regardless of their nature, have spirits. You have breached the precept against killing and still defend yourself so insolently! Truly a sin, a great sin!”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng touched his nose with an awkward look and muttered, ”I’m not a monk bound by all those monastic rules. What, you want me to follow the eight precepts of the Buddhist sect or what?”

Dammit, she couldn’t possibly just stand there being cursed without fighting back or retorting, that was just impossible!

Her life philosophy was simple: if you respect me, I’ll pay you back tenfold; if you harm me, I’ll make you pay with your life!

Just like that, crude and straightforward, no negotiation!

Seeing Little Monk Bu Jie’s face brimming with disapproval as he tried to speak, Gu Changsheng timely interrupted him, pushing his little bald head toward the door as she spoke, ”Be good, Little Monk Bu Jie, I took you in, and if you can’t even manage something as minor as Purifying the Residence, then all the good food and drinks I’ve been providing you would be for nothing, right?”

”This poor monk...” Little Monk Bu Jie turned his head, trying to say something.

But Gu Changsheng didn’t give him a chance to speak, pushing him forward again, waving her hand and speaking solemnly, ”The arduous and noble task of Reciting the Scripture of Rebirth is entrusted to you. If you succeed in Purifying the Residence, tonight I’ll have Xiao Leizi make you your beloved sweet and sour carp! Go on, Little Monk Bu Jie, hurry up!”

The moment she heard Lady Changsheng use sweet and sour carp as bait, Yuan Bao immediately turned his head to the side and covered his mouth to giggle!

However, upon hearing sweet and sour carp, Little Monk Bu Jie hesitated for a moment; his kind and compassionate face showed a hint of contemplation before he resignedly walked towards the front gate of the courtyard.

Watching Little Monk Bu Jie’s retreating back, Yuan Bao’s eyes widened in horror, ”No way, Lady Changsheng, that actually worked?”

Godfather! That was Shang Xie! That was Little Monk Bu Jie! And he got seduced just by a sweet and sour carp?

In this moment, Yuan Bao felt that his understanding of monks had been overturned once again!

And it was thoroughly overturned!

Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, glanced at Yuan Bao with raised eyebrows and clapped her hands proudly, ”Isn’t it just like that? If not this way, what would you suggest?”

With these words, Gu Changsheng eyed Yuan Bao up and down, then shook her head while clicking her tongue in amazement, ”Yuan Bao, Yuan Bao, haven’t seen you in days and you’ve really become plumper and more radiant! Look at this round waist of yours, increasingly resembling a belly...”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao’s face was filled with profound grief as he stared at Lady Changsheng in front of him, speaking hesitantly, ”Lady Changsheng, it’s not nice to bring up people’s flaws, targeting weaknesses like that!”

Was it his fault that he was fat?

He really hadn’t eaten that much! Just a tiny bit more!

Seeing the schadenfreude and anticipation of a good show on Lady Changsheng’s face, Yuan Bao clenched his fists secretly; he must diet!

He would definitely, absolutely diet!

Well, after he finished scrounging for sweet and sour carp that evening at Gu Residence, he’d start his diet immediately!

”Yuan Bao, being plump and radiant is actually not bad. It’s quite endearing! How about you give half of your fat to Xiao Si Xi? Look at her slender figure, she’s just like a bean sprout maid!” Gu Changsheng spoke with an evil grin, raising an eyebrow.

”Si Xi doesn’t want it!”

Before Yuan Bao could say anything, Si Xi immediately and firmly shook her head in rejection.

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng awkwardly touched her nose, ”Damn, your rejection is too blunt. How sad Yuan Bao must feel!”

At this, Yuan Bao quickly nodded in agreement!

He was heartbroken, being toyed with by Lady Changsheng and her maid like this!

There was no one more miserable than him; every time Lady Changsheng saw him, she wouldn’t rest without making a few jibes at his expense!

Wuwu...

Zhou Mu stood to the side, a hint of amusement surfacing in his eyes as he observed the cheerful young woman before him, suppressing the worries deep in his heart.

Her carefree attitude was probably for the best; all she needed was to be happy and worry-free. He was enough to handle all those annoying, troublesome matters.

What he aimed for was just to let her live as she wished!

”Alright! Playtime is over. You haven’t yet told me, why didn’t you inform me when you were struck by the Hateful Victory Curse? And where did all this Inner Strength of yours come from?” Zhou Mu took Gu Changsheng’s hand, feigning reproach as he spoke.
