Chapter 733: Chapter 568 Unreliable Southern Border_2

The glimmer of hope Hongyan Jiaojiao had upon the emergence of the Azure Dragon Gu vanished in an instant, her complexion growing even more ghastly pale.

”Destroy them?” Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, immediately glared.

Oh hell no, how could that be possible? Senior Hongyan must be joking!

Not to mention that the Four Great Imperial Gu were key to Dandan Bug being able to leave her body, the mere fact that without them she couldn’t bear daughters left Gu Changsheng utterly speechless!

Although in Gu Changsheng’s mind, having a daughter or not didn’t matter, in the context of the Southern Border, not having a daughter meant the end of the family line! What’s the difference between that and clan annihilation?

Gu Changsheng felt that, whether for the sake of Dandan Bug or for her own future freedom to bear children, she had to find a way to get all Four Great Imperial Gu!

Destroying the Imperial Gu, a solution where nobody wins, was something she absolutely did not approve of!

Although she hadn’t considered having a second child, as Zhou Mu’s fiancée, Gu Changsheng felt she couldn’t let the evildoer end their lineage!

Deep down, Gu Changsheng was resistant to the idea of the relationship between Gu insects and giving birth...

Gu Changsheng looked at Hongyan Jiaojiao struggling to hold on in front of her, gently patted her hand, and said with complete certainty, ”Senior Hongyan, you rest too. Believe me, I will definitely wake you up!”

Backlash or whatever, she was already used to it. Wasn’t Tan Nv just in slumber? Seeing Hongyan Jiaojiao striving so hard and suffering made her heart ache!

At her words, Hongyan Jiaojiao’s eyes widened in shock. She had been holding on with a thread of vitality, but upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, she got so angry that she passed out completely...

Six glare daggers suddenly shot over from the Gourd Brothers...

Gu Changsheng hadn’t expected that her attempt to lighten the mood would actually cause Hongyan Jiaojiao to faint. She quickly shook Hongyan Jiaojiao a few times and said anxiously, ”Oh my god, Senior, don’t fall asleep so quickly. At least tell me the whole story about my mother and the Great Swamp Mountain...”

She knew nothing about the Southern Border Hinterland, okay? Finally meeting someone who did, and now they’ve just fainted like that, this...

After shaking her a few times, there was still no reaction from Hongyan Jiaojiao, and Gu Changsheng immediately regretted it to death...

Oh come on, not fair to assign her such a daunting task and then just conk out to sleep! At least give her a detailed account of the enemy situation! Or even just tell her the old tale of the Phoenix clan’s annihilation!

”Young Master, our mother has long prepared a refuge from backlash. Now that the Vermilion Bird Gu has left her body, our mother can only sustain life for one more year. Please forgive us brothers for not being able to balance loyalty and filial piety, as we must stay by our mother’s side and cannot follow the Young Master!” The eldest of the Gourd Brothers bowed to Gu Changsheng. His parents had already prepared an escape route and were ready to return the Vermilion Bird Gu. This was why, despite knowing that their parents would suffer from backlash, they could not stop it.

Their parents were committed to their duty, and as their children, they had no power to interfere!

”One year, huh... That will be enough!” Gu Changsheng sighed upon hearing this, her mind entangled in a mess, but still, she promised the Gourd Brothers, ”Please believe me, no matter what, I will gather the Four Great Imperial Gu and awaken your mother!”

Hearing this, the eldest brother showed a bitter expression and shook his head, ”There’s no need for such measures, Young Master. Our mother is determined to return the Vermilion Bird Gu and is already prepared for death. Please prioritize the revival of the Phoenix Clan above all else, don’t fail our mother’s expectations!”

At this, the eldest brother paused, looked at Gu Changsheng with a heavy gaze, hesitated a bit, but still continued with a solemn tone, ”Young Master, the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Gu have fallen into the hands of Xiangka Tianji. She knows full well the importance of the Imperial Gu to the Phoenix Clan and will never allow them to return to your hands! Young Master, without the protection of the Four Great Imperial Gu, and if the Gu Empress Vein bearing the King of Witch Gu’s bloodline is to continue, it can only be at the cost of life. Even if we lose the other two Imperial Gu, please prioritize the continuance of the Phoenix Clan, and even in death, give birth to the Gu Empress Vein, ensuring the King of Witch Gu’s bloodline and the Phoenix Clan do not perish!”

Initially, Gu Changsheng was listening intently, after all, it was the entreaty of Hongyan Jiaojiao’s son, but the more she listened, the more it felt off. By the time he finished, Gu Changsheng’s expression had soured!

She kicked out, decisively and resolutely!

”Fuck you! Do I have to throw away my own life just to have a daughter?”

With one kick, she flipped the Gourd Brothers’ eldest brother onto the ground. Gu Changsheng had had enough, she stood up and dusted herself off, looking indignantly at the bunch of bandits in front of her!

Damn it, all they did was add to her frustration! Better to be just simple bandits, really!

Knowing that Hongyan Jiaojiao would not be in mortal danger for a year, Gu Changsheng’s heavy mood instantly vanished, but after such a blow from the eldest son, her spirits plummeted!

Hand on hip, Gu Changsheng pointed at the many faces of judgment and burst out angrily, ”Damn it, can’t you people from the Southern Border be even more unreliable? Missing four worms, and I have to die to bear a daughter? What kind of bullshit logic is that? Tell me, what have a snake and a Fire Chicken, plus two other damn things I don’t even know, got to do with me having a daughter? Have you all lost your damn minds? I’m not giving birth to an egg that needs these two items to act as protectors, am I?”
