Chapter 628: Chapter 475 Dandan Bug Wakes Up

Gu Changsheng’s intuition proved correct, for within just two days, Liuzhou City was overcome with anxiety!

Scattered individuals dressed like itinerant world’s people could be seen meandering everywhere in the city, causing the ordinarily content and industrious residents of Liuzhou City to become quite uneasy!

These itinerant world’s people clearly weren’t the kind one would want to provoke!

Hence, everyone was exceedingly cautious, steering clear of these individuals from the itinerant world as if avoiding them were paramount!

”Tan Nv, many people from the itinerant world have come to the city! It’s unclear what their intentions are...”

Inside Tan Nv’s room, Gu Changsheng sat beside her bed, meticulously wiping her hands and muttering to himself.

After the battle at Hengtang Lake, with Ning Er’s life and death uncertain, and Tan Nv in a coma, Gu Changsheng had grown accustomed to taking care of her every day, talking to her!

It seemed only then could he feel Tan Nv’s faint breath...

Looking at Tan Nv’s closed eyes, Gu Changsheng reached out to touch her long eyelashes, his lips curling into a bitter smile, ”Weren’t you the one who hated being touched by others? Wake up and hit me, will you...”

The only response to Gu Changsheng was the room’s eternal silence!

Tan Nv remained the same, peacefully asleep, as if time had stopped!

”Tan Nv, just how long do you plan to sleep? If you don’t wake up, Dandan, the little insect, won’t wake up either. Are you two competing to see who can sleep longer?” Gu Changsheng said worriedly as he gently touched his own brow.

On her brow, that fiery mark remained as before, but that small voice in her mind had stopped resurfacing!

She could feel the fiery red little insect curled up, sound asleep, yet no matter how she called to it, there was no response at all!

It was all because of her!

She didn’t know just how precious the blood of the Dandan bug was!

In helping Zhou Mu, after Dandan bug bled, it fell into a deep sleep!

This left her not only filled with guilt but also worry!

”Tan Nv, Little Monk Bu Jie told me that you engaged with that evildoer just to meet me, that I am your life’s mission, and that you used the Witch King’s Curse for me. But no matter how much I question, the little monk refuses to tell me how to wake you up...”

As his hand rested on Tan Nv’s cheek, a hint of moisture filled Gu Changsheng’s eyes, ”Tan Nv, what must I do to free you from this curse that has plunged you into an eternal slumber? Please tell me, will you? No matter what it takes, even through a sea of fire or a mountain of blades, I will do everything to awaken you!”

”Tell me, how can I wake you up?”

At this point, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help feeling a bit heartbroken!

To her, this world had gone from initially bewildering to now utterly baffling!

Too many uncertainties beyond her control emerged, leaving her at a loss about what to do!

Tan Nv is the Great Witch of Bashu, and Dandan bug is a gu from the Southern Border, while Gu Changsheng has only a superficial understanding of matters pertaining to witch gu!

Agonized, she grabbed her hair and buried her head in brocade quilts, truly unsure of the path ahead, and equally clueless on how to wake Tan Nv!

”So what if it means going against the heavens? Tan Nv, why do you know but do not tell me? Tell me, what must I do to wake you? Must you really have me living with this to**** regret, watching you sleep eternally?”

”As long as it can wake you, I am willing to do anything! Why don’t you tell me? Why?”

This feeling of aimlessness was incredibly tormenting!

Gu Changsheng might appear carefree, but she is, in fact, the one who values affection most!

Tan Nv had risked her life to save her on multiple occasions, even at the cost of falling into an eternal coma. Gu Changsheng’s deep-seated guilt was like a raging flood and savage beasts relentlessly tearing at her heart, making even the restoration of her joy difficult to truly feel or be happy about!

”Dandan’s Mom, why are you crying? Is this the person who helped someone wake up?”

Just as Gu Changsheng was immersed in her sorrow and unable to extricate herself, a soft voice rang out in her mind!

This sudden voice made Gu Changsheng raise her head in surprise, touching her brow and hesitating for a moment before speaking, ”Dandan bug? Is it you?”

She couldn’t quite believe it!

The bug she had longed for day and night, was it truly awakening so unexpectedly?

”Who else could it be but me? There’s no other bug in the world more well-behaved than me!” The fiery red little bug rubbed its eyes and rolled over a few times, stretching out long and wide, ”Wow! That was a good, comfortable sleep!”

”Dandan bug, what about your wound?” asked Gu Changsheng, somewhat relieved but still concerned.

”It’s all better now! I’ve been recuperating for so long, and now I’ve recovered, right? By the way, Dandan’s Mom, why are you crying? Is this the person who woke me up?” Dandan bug peered out from within Gu Changsheng’s mind, propping up its little head and blinking its big eyes inquisitively.

At these words, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but look towards the still-closed-eyed Tan Nv, and she slowly nodded, ”That’s right. Little Monk Bu Jie said she used the Witch King’s Curse to wake you, and then she fell into this eternal sleep, ending up like this.”

”So, Dandan’s Mom, are you sad for her?” Dandan bug asked, chewing on its little paws, its voice soft and sticky.

”Yes! Because of me, too many people have sacrificed everything, and I am filled with guilt, yet there’s nothing I can do!” Gu Changsheng replied with a sad smile curling her lips, and her eyes lighting up with a glimmer of hope, ”Dandan, aren’t you amazing? Do you know how I can wake her up?”

At this, Dandan bug shook its head, biting its paw and timidly responding, ”I don’t know! All I know is her aura feels very familiar to me!”

Gu Changsheng heard this, and her eyes immediately dimmed!

That’s right, Dandan Bug was just a little insect that had not been born for long, even if it was powerful, what could it do?

Seeing her so upset, Dandan Bug showed a trace of reluctance on its little insect face and cautiously spoke up, ”That... Dandan’s Mom, don’t worry, her Witch’s Soul hasn’t dispersed, as long as the Witch’s Soul is intact, there will always be a day when she wakes up! You must believe me!”

”So, what I can do is just wait?” Gu Changsheng said, her lips curling into a bitter smile upon hearing this.

She was actually someone who really didn’t like to wait!

”It’s okay! I’ll keep you company while we wait! She is very important to both you and me!” Dandan Bug rubbed its little head in an exhibition of cuteness.

”Alright! I’ll wait with you, there must be a way to wake her up!” Gu Changsheng said, nodding her head decisively upon hearing this.

”Dandan’s Mom, I think I feel something delicious nearby...”

”Delicious?” Gu Changsheng frowned upon hearing this, ”Aren’t you supposed to feed on my blood?”

”No, no! Not that kind of food! It’s another kind! It seems really tasty! Very tempting!” Dandan Bug explained, waving its little paws.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s brows furrowed even tighter and a contemplative look flashed through her eyes, ”You behave yourself! Don’t think about food all the time! Gluttony leads to death!”

”But I am just an insect!”

”You are an insect that lives in my body! Can you come out? Can you eat anything?” Gu Changsheng said as she covered Tan Nv with the brocade quilts and slowly stood up.

”I... I can’t...”

”That settles it then!” Gu Changsheng huffed coldly upon hearing this and turned to walk towards the door.

”Someone, be alert and check among the Itinerant World’s People entering Liuzhou Region for anyone from the Southern Border, if there is, at all costs, kill!” As she stepped outside, Gu Changsheng immediately beckoned to a shadowy area and ordered in a cold voice.

”Understood!” A brief and forceful acknowledgment echoed from the darkness behind her.

”Dandan, the thing that arouses your appetite, it’s Southern Border’s gu, isn’t it?” Gu Changsheng looked up at the undulating buildings of the estate and muttered to herself.

Dandan Bug was a gu!

And it was the king of gu!

In the world of gu, it’s the law of the jungle!

”Right, right! Dandan’s Mom is so smart!” a cheerful little voice responded in her mind.

”Sure enough, they’ve come...” Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a determined glint flickered through them as she spoke in a low voice.

She had no choice about her own origin! Nor could she escape!

She... merely didn’t want to disturb the current tranquility of her life!

All she wanted was to protect Liuzhou City, wait for the evildoer Zhou Mu to pacify Liaodong and return, and then, to quietly live out the rest of her days!

”A tree wants to stay still, but the wind keeps blowing...” Gu Changsheng could not help but let out a long sigh looking up at the sky!

At this moment, Gu Changsheng gained another profound understanding of the law of transmigration!

That was, she is a magnet for trouble and disaster!

Even if she lived quietly within her estate without going out, disaster would still come knocking on her door!

A mosquito bite-like sting transmitted from her brow and disappeared in an instant, prompting a slight smile to form on Gu Changsheng’s lips.

”Dandan’s Mom, I’m full now, I’m sleepy...” a small voice rang out in her mind.

”Didn’t you just wake up?” Gu Changsheng immediately asked.

How much could this insect sleep? It had slept for months before waking, and now after eating its fill, it wanted to sleep again?

”I have nothing else to do, what am I supposed to do if not sleep after eating?”

Gu Changsheng choked on her words and after a while finally replied, ”Sleep then, sleep! Don’t sleep so long this time, aren’t you afraid you’ll get too hungry and become thin?”

”Okay, okay! If you need me, just call! Wave paw, I’m sleepy now!”

Watching the comfortably tumbling little bug in her mind, Gu Changsheng shook her head helplessly, ”I can’t believe I am even less at ease than an insect...”

After several inquiries, there didn’t seem to be anything amiss with the Itinerant World’s People gathered at her Liuzhou City estate, and since the arrivals did not harm the heavens or reason, all was rather quiet.

But Gu Changsheng didn’t see it that way.

She could feel the aura of the Itinerant World’s People growing thicker outside her estate, and all of them were individuals with strong cultivation!

This gave Gu Changsheng a feeling as if an army was at her gates!

One day, as Gu Changsheng looked troubled, Song Mu suddenly rushed into the backyard in a state of urgency...
