Chapter 674: Chapter 515: Concerning the Survival of the Witch and Gu Tribes

Damn it, this Dandan Bug loves to sleep so much, waking up for a few seconds before instantly falling silent again, not waking up for ten days or half a month, and after waking up and eating its fill, it just goes back to sleep!

It’s like it never gets enough sleep; it barely fully wakes up!

Initially, Gu Changsheng was worried that with Dandan around, her life would have no privacy, but as it turned out, the bug was simply sleeping so deeply, completely natural, without any interest in prying into her privacy!

”That, that, don’t cry first, I know what you are looking for!” Gu Changsheng, flustered, said to the tiny figure in front of her who was crying silently with its head thrown back.

In her mind, the Dandan Bug was hugging its head with its claws, curled up and fast asleep, completely ignoring her no matter how much she called out. Gu Changsheng decided it was more important to first comfort this silently weeping little tearful person!

”Descendent of the Phoenix Clan, what did you say?” Wuchang Yue asked, lowering her head when she heard this, with a small teardrop-shaped face still bearing a trace of tears, and disbelief in her eyes.

”Changsheng, don’t talk nonsense!” Zhou Mu, seeing this, tugged at Gu Changsheng’s palm and whispered a caution.

From the conversation with the Bashu Little Witch Lord, he also gathered that what she was looking for was certainly not ordinary, and it might even be related to the rise and fall of the Witch Clan!

Now that they were in the Cloud Palace, on someone else’s turf, they naturally couldn’t be reckless. Annoying the host with their taboos was not joke!

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng cocked her head and gave Zhou Mu a reassuring glance, then turned to look at Wuchang Yue who was staring at her intently, and spoke somewhat troubled, ”That, don’t cry! I may know what you are looking for, it’s just that, it’s asleep right now and I don’t know how to make you aware of its existence!”

Clang! A crisp sound rang out, and the little black cane in Wuchang Yue’s hand suddenly dropped to the ground.

Startled by the noise, Gu Changsheng looked down to see it was just the cane that had fallen and not Wuchang Yue, then she patted her chest in relief.

Damn it, what’s with this kneeling in midair? At least get back to the ground before doing anything!

Ignoring Gu Changsheng’s reaction, Wuchang Yue struggled to get up again, still standing in midair, and incredulously said, ”Descendent of the Phoenix Clan, do you realize what you’re talking about? This matter concerns Bashu and the Southern Border, and the rise and fall of both Witch and Gu Tribes! If you dare talk nonsense, I... I will make you...”

At this point, Wuchang Yue paused, considering Gu Changsheng’s identity, and still didn’t speak out the threat.

”Uh... That, I’m really not talking nonsense, the thing you’re looking for, it’s hugging its head fast asleep! But...” Gu Changsheng trailed off, propping up her chin, her eyes brimming with calculation as she looked at Wuchang Yue and hesitantly said, ”But you have to tell me first, what exactly is this thing related to the survival of your Witch Clan?”

What exactly is this Dandan Bug, this question has troubled her for so long already! If she has the chance to ask clearly, she would be a fool not to!

If she knows what it is, she’ll have a clear understanding in her heart, and might as well make full use of it, right? Heh heh!

Hearing this, Wuchang Yue wiped her teary eyes with her chubby little hands, glanced at the three people behind Gu Changsheng, a man as beautiful as a Heavenly God who must be Prince Mu of the Great Zhou, an Undefeated War God; a chubby and round fellow who looked like an eunuch; and a hairless kid—was this the legendary Monk?

In their Southwest Land, Witch Gu was prevalent, and what they saw the least were Monks!

”You are a descendant of the Phoenix Clan, so it is harmless to tell you. However, they...” Wuchang Yue’s eyes flashed with contemplation, then she said seriously.

”They are my dearest and most trusted people. In this world, if I can’t even trust them, then I have no one else to trust!” Gu Changsheng clutched the big hand that was always wrapped around hers and smiled sweetly at the evildoer beside her, speaking with conviction.

Wuchang Yue glanced at their clasped hands, her little head shaking slightly, but she still spoke, ”This matter is related to the rise and fall of both the Witch and Gu Tribes. Since you trust them so much, then I will not avoid it. But if they harm you, don’t blame me for not letting this go!”

Gu Changsheng nodded at this.

In this world, those least likely to harm her were the men by her side!

Yuan Bao and Little Monk Bu Jie were also trustworthy!

”The Witch and Gu lineages have existed in the world since the beginning of the Human Tribe; Witch Gu were originally from the same origin, but later split into two Tribes. The Witch Clan invokes deities through dance and the Gu Tribe are followers of the deities tending to the Gu. The Witch and Gu Tribes are the beings closest to deities in this world!”

”Yet, only a small number of people are blessed by the heavens to practice Witch Gu, thus, Witch Gu are not accepted by common people and are shunned by other tribes, having to seclude themselves in the Southwest. The Witch and Gu Tribes use Dayan Mountain as a border, governing their respective areas; my Wuchang Clan has been in charge of Bashu, and your Phoenix Clan has been in charge of Bashu, and so it has been for over a thousand years!”

”The Witch and Gu Tribes borrow the power of Heavenly Gods. Every thousand years, a bloodline capable of carrying the title of King of Witch Gu is born. Only when the King of Witch Gu comes into the world, can both Tribes gain the power to continue communicating with the deities. But over twenty years ago, when the millennial period had come, the King of Witch Gu who should have awakened didn’t, resulting in my Wuchang Clan producing a peerless genius. With his own power, he carried on the Divine Veins for both Witch and Gu Tribes, ushering in more than twenty years of continuance for both Tribes!”

”But now, as the power of our ruler wanes day by day, if the King of Witch Gu does not awaken, within two years, both the Witch and Gu Tribes will inevitably weaken! As a member of the Witch Clan, we will no longer be able to summon the divine through dance, and as a member of the Gu Tribe, we will no longer be able to raise gu...”

The King of Witch Gu?

Listening to Wuchang Yue’s words, Gu Changsheng’s eyebrows couldn’t help but shoot up, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily!

Right now, she actually felt the urge to strangle the Dandan Bug!

If the Dandan Bug died, the Witch Clan from Bashu and the Gu Tribe from the Southern Border would automatically perish after two years!

Unfortunately, it was just a thought!

Gu Changsheng was certain that if Wuchang Yue knew what she was thinking, the little girl would probably try to strangle her before she could even lay hands on the Dandan Bug!

”I never expected Dandan to have such a significant background!” Gu Changsheng muttered to herself, unable to suppress a low murmur.

”Dandan?” Suddenly interrupted, Wuchang Yue looked up in confusion.

”That’s right, the King of Witch Gu you mentioned. Don’t doubt it, he’s awakened. It’s just that he had a full meal a few days ago and now he’s back to sleep!” Gu Changsheng shrugged her shoulders, speaking with absolute certainty.

At these words, Wuchang Yue instantly overflowed with joy, her small face beaming with disbelief and delight. Her chubby little hands immediately cupped Gu Changsheng’s face, her voice tinged with urgency, ”Are you telling the truth? Has the King of Witch Gu really awakened? Can you feel his awakening?”

”He’s indeed awakened for sure!” Gu Changsheng nodded. Damn, she could feel more than just his awakening, her son could too. They used to bicker with it when they had nothing better to do!

Unfortunately, her son had now been taken to the Southern Border.

”So, you are the one who carries the bloodline of the King of Witch Gu! You are his daughter!” Wuchang Yue’s face brimmed with excitement. She released Gu Changsheng and began to whirl about in delight, her little feet dancing in the air, ”The heavens have not forsaken our Witch Clan! The heavens have not forsaken our Witch Clan! Queen Mother, Yueyue has finally waited for the awakening of the King of Witch Gu, finally waited for it!”

Watching the little figure dancing in the air before her, Gu Changsheng shook her head and smiled wryly, tilting her head to see her own evildoer looking at her with a puzzled expression, ”I’ll explain it to you slowly when we get back!”

Zhou Mu nodded at hearing this, reaching out to rub her head. Gu Changsheng smiled knowingly.

The Dandan Bug was so important to the Witch Clan; thus, her request to borrow a passage from Wuchang Yue just gained an extra layer of certainty!

”That... Little Witch Lord... Don’t be in such a hurry to dance; we need to discuss urgent matters!” Gu Changsheng, looking at Wuchang Yue turning her head back, swallowed her unfinished sentence.

”Descendant of the Phoenix Clan, the King of Witch Gu awakens through your bloodline, and you should indeed be an esteemed person to our Witch Clan, a distinguished guest to our Wuchang Clan! However, the Chaotic Great Witch is a kinsman of our Wuchang Clan. Why did you act so inadequately, causing her to fall into eternal slumber!” Wuchang Yue looked at Gu Changsheng, her brow slightly furrowed, and spoke gravely.

”If you ask me, who do I ask?” Gu Changsheng immediately retorted upon hearing this, ”I want to ask you, how exactly do we break the backlash of the Witch King’s Curse?”

”That’s simple, as long as you can...” Wuchang Yue waved her hand and was about to speak.”

”Benefactor Wuchang!”

A small voice came from behind Gu Changsheng, interrupting Wuchang Yue’s unfinished words.

Gu Changsheng turned around to see Little Monk Bu Jie, who had been silent all the way, step forward with his palms pressed together. Surprise flashed in her eyes, and her hand landed unhesitatingly on the crown of Little Monk Bu Jie’s head, ”Damn you, Shang Xie! What are you butting in for!”

Just as she was about to learn how to wake up Tan Nv, this guy suddenly sprang into the fray - what’s the deal? Did he intend for Tan Nv to remain in eternal slumber?

”Amitabha!” Little Monk Bu Jie greeted with a bow and chanted, his kind and compassionate eyes turning to Wuchang Yue, who looked puzzled, ”Benefactor Wuchang, before Benefactor Tan Nv fell into slumber, she had made her wishes clear: not to let Benefactor Changsheng go against the heavens, for it is best to let things take their natural course! If Benefactor Changsheng knows how to awaken Benefactor Tan Nv, she will certainly act hastily and go against the heavens. Please, Benefactor Wuchang, have compassion for all the beings of the world!”

Have compassion for all the beings of the world? Could he make this any more weighty? Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Hearing this, Wuchang Yue pondered for a moment, her gaze fixed on Little Monk Bu Jie before she finally waved her hand dismissively, ”So be it! Since it is the wish of the Chaotic Great Witch, it is not good for me to go against it. Luckily, since ancient times, the Chaotic Great Witch is not the first to fall into eternal slumber with no hope of awakening! Perhaps, this is just the fate of the Chaotic Great Witch!”

”For f***’s sake! So you two have just reached an agreement? Did either of you bother asking for my consent?” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately became discontented, pointing at Wuchang Yue and then at Little Monk Bu Jie, her face filled with indignation as she spoke...
