Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 725: Chapter 562: Lifelong Wish, 3000 Faces

Gu Changsheng choked upon hearing the words and, seeing the shabbily dressed bandits in front of him, believed Hongyan Jiaojiao’s words without a doubt.

This group was truly the poorest bandits in the world, their whole appearance completely epitomized what it means to have not a penny to their name!

”...” Realizing the reality, Gu Changsheng was rendered speechless.

Being a bandit could sink to this level, and Hongyan Jiaojiao’s family was truly unmatched!

”Ah! Dear customer!” Suddenly remembering something, Hongyan Jiaojiao called out in excitement, her face full of hope as she looked up.

Gu Changsheng was stunned by her eagerness to be robbed, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

Indeed, before Gu Changsheng had time to raise his hand to stop her, Hongyan Jiaojiao took a step forward, pointed at her own sons, and started excitedly, ”Dear customer, all I have are these few sons. Maybe, take whichever looks good to you? To take over the stronghold or something, with their physiques, they can just about manage. Customer, what do you think of my eldest son?”

”...” Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched.

Hongyan Jiaojiao persevered, switching targets, ”How about the second son?”

”...”

Now, not only was Gu Changsheng speechless, but even the people behind him were dumbfounded.

In this world, could there really be people who are so eager to be robbed?

And a mother, so impatient to market her own sons?

This... this is really bizarre!

Of course, as people from the Central Plains, Gu Changsheng and his companions didn’t know that in the Southern Border, it was a matriarchal society where women were honored due to their scarcity and high status as they could rear Gu. Hence, it was truly hard to marry off a man!

Hongyan Jiaojiao ruled the mountain as a queen and took to banditry, but the real issue was that she had given birth to six sons without a single daughter!

This was really a worrying matter!

Unable to marry off her sons would lead to the extinction of Hongyan’s family line. In fact, not being able to give birth to a daughter already accounted as extinction!

Alas, this was indeed a sorrowful matter!

After recommending several sons without any reaction from others, Hongyan Jiaojiao grew anxious, glanced at her sons, then looked at the strikingly beautiful Gu Changsheng, and stamped her foot in desperation. She said, ”Customer, if all else fails, why not take all six away?”

All six?

All together?

Gu Changsheng was genuinely stunned!

The faces of the men behind Gu Changsheng went completely dark!

Looking at the six stout and sturdy men before him, Gu Changsheng’s thoughts inadvertently took flight!

Six of them! Six pieces of leaves turning red, a uniform sea of nakedness. How spectacular! Just thinking about it felt blissful!

A blessing of all men! The harsh terrain of the Southern Border was simply paradise for women!

If this were in Great Zhou, they would definitely be drowned in a pig cage, but remarkably, in Southern Border, they could speak so boldly!

Gu Changsheng felt enlightened, elevated to an unprecedented level, almost fulfilled!

Before she could daydream further, a chilling pressure, as tangible as if it were real, struck from behind...

Gu Changsheng’s smiling eyes curved wickedly, but her face suddenly froze, her body steadied itself amidst the joyful chaos. She turned stiffly like a mummy to face a certain evildoer behind her with an inky face, her mouth twitching as she swallowed nervously and quickly said, ”Evildoer, you must believe me, I am a faithful person, I adhere to monogamy!”

It was just a little fantasy, that couldn’t count as a crime, right?

Why did she feel like the evildoer’s look was about to chop her up like vegetables?

Heart pounding, truly frightening!

Gu Changsheng felt, damn it, her rare mental infidelity hadn’t even completely manifested before she got caught red-handed!

Such frustration! So carried away that she forgot the evildoer was right behind her!

This was simply courting death!

”Should this king believe you?” A cold voice devoid of any emotion rose from behind.

”Definitely!” Gu Changsheng nodded without hesitation, her voice resounding firmly, ”It absolutely must be! Evildoer, you must believe me, my heart for you is as clear as day!”

Zhou Mu, upon hearing this, saw the anger in his eyes vanish in an instant, though obviously, the well-behaved Gu Changsheng, bowing her head in apology, didn’t notice!

”I’ve heard, ’Changsheng my love, her lifelong wish, is nothing more than to build luxurious houses and keep three thousand beauties.’ It seems, based on ’Changsheng my love’s’ status, this isn’t impossible, only that this king is in the way...”

This cold, melancholic tone, this wistful sentiment...

Gu Changsheng immediately shivered, feeling deeply troubled!

Coming to her senses, the first thing Gu Changsheng did was jump down from the horse and hurried toward Hongyan Jiaojiao below.

Raising her hand to throttle, her fierce expression genuine, Gu Changsheng looked at the panicked and wide-eyed Hongyan Jiaojiao and spoke through clenched teeth, ”Damn it, tell me! Are you a rescue sent by Xiangka Tianji? Your scheme, damn it, is too mean!”

She had never, ever seen an evildoer get angry!

In fact, when the evildoer was by her side, he basically had no temper at all!

In front of Red Sun City, knowing that Huaheng Cangyue had ulterior motives, she offered a handsome man to the evildoer who let her play along without getting angry, but today was different. Today, for crying out loud, Hongyan Jiaojiao had pulled another stunt!

Wasn’t this adding fuel to the fire?

The evil tradition of female supremacy from the Southern Border, how could it let the mothers of Great Zhou cope?

Huaheng Cangyue and Hongyan Jiaojiao, through their actions, showed Zhou Mu that in the Southern Border, it didn’t matter if you were an Abandoned Wife; as long as you were a woman, you had nothing to worry about when it came to finding a husband!

Zhou Mu’s fiancée was even the belle of the Southern Border, with countless people waiting to offer handsome men!

This...

The reality was so cruel!

Cruel enough to make one want to commit seppuku at any minute!

”...” Gu Changsheng’s reproachful voice was severe, and Hongyan Jiaojiao was completely confused, just staring intently at Gu Changsheng’s forehead.

At such close range, she could see everything even more clearly.

”Tell me, did Xiangka Tianji send you to drive a wedge between me and the evildoer? I’m telling you, even if you guys offer me three thousand top beauties, I wouldn’t bat an eye! I’m not interested in sex! I’m abstinent!” Gu Changsheng roared fiercely.

Dammit, why? One after another, they all saw her as some kind of lecherous villainess. What was the meaning of this? What was the meaning?

Isn’t it too slandering to treat someone this way?

If you’ve got the guts, strip naked and lay it all out, at least that would satisfy her eyes!

This damn thing, seriously lacking heart!

Lacking heart was one thing, but damn it, always causing trouble!

Simply intolerable!

Feeling the gaze of the man on the horse, Gu Changsheng sniffed, pointed at the dumbfounded Gourd Brothers in front of her, and burst out angrily, ”You! The eldest, right? Your physique is not bad, but one eyelid is single and the other double—so unique. You have a therapeutic eye; does your mother know?”

”...” The eldest wanted to cry but had no tears. Who had he provoked? He was just following his parents home to cook, he would accept being robbed in his own territory, but now he was personally attacked by the robber!

This... this was just too bullying!

”You! The second, right? Where did you get that hawk nose? Is it an incomplete evolution, or mixed race?”

”...” The second broke into tears. What was wrong with his nose? His nose was perfectly fine! How had he offended this goddess?

The second was miserable, and the eldest felt fulfilled for finally not being the only one attacked!

”You! The third, right? What’s with the big mole at the corner of your mouth? Were you a matchmaker in your past life?”

”...”

”You! Are you the fourth or dead?...”

”...”

As Gu Changsheng pointed and lectured, the Gourd Brothers became increasingly dismayed.

Finally, Gu Changsheng clapped her hands, surveyed the six men before her, tilted her head towards Hongyan Jiaojiao, and spoke sarcastically, ”Being able to give birth to six such distinctive sons, Hongyan Jiaojiao, you really are capable! I wonder, do their fathers know about your skills?”

”They know! The fathers of all six definitely know! And they even died trying to rob food for them!” responded Hongyan Jiaojiao immediately and with all the conviction in the world.

”...” Gu Changsheng, hearing this, immediately choked again.

Fathers...

How chaotic is this world!

Had she actually traveled to an ancient time of polyandry? How had it suddenly felt like she was in a situation of one wife with multiple husbands?

Gu Changsheng felt that she was no longer able to happily communicate with this group of bizarre bandit mothers and sons!

Otherwise, she might not choke to the point of fainting or be killed by the evildoer’s glares!

Although the bandit men before her weren’t very refined, alas, she was accompanied by an evildoer who knew how to chop vegetables!

Gu Changsheng was absolutely certain that if she dared to show the slightest interest in these men, the next moment, the evildoer would certainly stop being benevolent and start chopping... widow indeed!

Gu Changsheng suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of desolation...

Faced with such challenging men, she was fundamentally a dead woman already. Who could she complain to?

However, to prevent herself from being coldly snubbed to death, and to ensure that the six clueless men could live well, and to spare Hongyan Jiaojiao from sending off the younger with white hair, she still had to say her piece.

”Damn, see that man coming our way? Let me tell you, I have very high standards. My man has to be exactly like him; even a bit more is too much, and a bit less is too little—that’s how picky I am!”

That’s enough! That was the limit of what she could say! If they scrutinized her with cold glares again, she would cry...
