Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 741: 576 Chapter: These dumplings are well made

”Count from one to ten, and let your mistress show you a meteor shower between the mountains, how about that?” Gu Changsheng said with a cunning smile, looking at the puzzled Yuan Bao, his tone playful.

”Meteor shower?” Yuan Bao’s mouth twitched at the words.

However, Xiao Cui and Han Qiu’s faces changed, disbelievingly turning towards their mistress, their eyes filled with shock.

”No more nonsense, count now!” Gu Changsheng glared at Yuan Bao, his voice stern.

Seeing this, Yuan Bao dared not delay. Driven by his nature as a personal eunuch, he immediately began counting on his fingers, though he also didn’t understand what kind of caper his mistress was pulling!

”One, two, three...”

”Ah, indeed, when it comes to patience, I’m really lacking!” Gu Changsheng shook his head amusedly while watching Yuan Bao count slowly behind him.

”Seven, eight...” The further he counted, the more uneasy Yuan Bao became. His round eyes kept darting around, secretly wondering, where’s the meteor shower? The promised meteor shower between the mountains? There wasn’t even a hint of light. The stars above hung perfectly intact...

Could it be that his mistress was playing a joke on him?

”Nine... ten!” Even if Yuan Bao counted slowly, there were only ten counts at most—how much slower could it get?

In the end, he reached ten, but there was still no movement around!

The night was dim, the crescent moon rising, and in the night sky, tiny stars twinkled faintly—there was no sign of a meteor shower.

Oh... Yuan Bao wanted to cry without tears, wondering if he had messed up the rhythm of his count, thus the so-called meteor shower his mistress talked about hadn’t occurred?

”Mistress?” Xiao Cui approached his mistress, his brow furrowed, perplexed.

”Shh!” Gu Changsheng put his finger to his lips, a wicked smile curving, ”Listen...”

”Bang!”

”Bang!”

”...”

The next instant, sounds of heavy objects hitting the ground came from the surrounding hillsides, one after another, accompanied by weak groans!

The sounds spread from near to far, gradually reaching up the slopes!

”Bang!”

”Bang!”

”...”

With the recurrent sounds of things hitting the ground, the smile on Gu Changsheng’s face grew wider.

With Red Sleeve swirling, Gu Changsheng stood beside Zhou Mu, her radiant features shimmering brightly, her eyes slightly lifted with a sparkle, and scoffed, ”A thousand-strong expert formation battle? Haha... Really think I’m a vegetarian?”

Then, pulling on Zhou Mu’s sleeve, she slowly walked towards the hillside where the experts were gathered, ”I am clearly a meat-eater, alas, why doesn’t the world know about my tastes?”

”After tonight, I presume the whole world will know, Changsheng loves meat, especially this chicken soup!” holding hands, Zhou Mu looked at the lovely woman next to him, radiant even under the moonlight, and smiled.

Yuan Bao and the others stood dumbstruck, watching their master and mistress walking hand-in-hand towards the edge of the thousand-strong deathtrap formation.

”The sounds that just fell, were they people?” Yuan Bao asked with difficulty, his eyes wide.

”They were indeed people! Hidden among the treetops on the hillside!” Si Xi replied mechanically, his eyes unfocused.

”Mistress... chicken soup...” Xiao Cui murmured absently.

”Yikes!” At the mention of the chicken soup, Yuan Bao instantly revived, covering his mouth, his eyes wide with horror, looking at the scattered chicken soup on the ground with tears in his eyes.

Even though he wasn’t the brightest, by now he realized that his mistress must have tampered with the chicken soup!

And he had almost drunk it!

Oh, my life! He was practically courting death, wasn’t he? That meteor shower in the forest could have easily added one more Yuan Bao, couldn’t it?

”Soul-Devouring Python! Save me!” Yuan Bao’s response was direct, and in the next instant, he threw himself towards the Soul-Devouring Python crawling towards his feeder, grasping its tail, overflowing with gratitude!

He was a man, even though somewhat imperfect, but still a man, unafraid of snakes or such!

”Hiss!” The python’s tail was embraced by a chunky piece of flesh, its crawling hindered, its red eyes looking desperately at its feeder for help, ”Hiss...”

Benefactor, your fat Yuan Bao has gone mad, he’s not letting go of others’ tail!

Save the snake!

”Gobble gobble!” The Fire Chicken, finding the predicament of the Soul-Devouring Python particularly amusing, clucked twice, its mood excellent, fluffing its feathered tail proudly as it followed its feeder.

The desperate cries for help from his own Gu reaching deep, Gu Changsheng found it hard to ignore. He sighed, looking back at Yuan Bao, who was holding the snake’s tail, overwhelmed with gratitude, and he shivered!

Fortunately, it wasn’t him being clung to!

”Yuan Bao, the body of the Soul-Devouring Python is covered in chicken soup...” Out of humanitarianism, Gu Changsheng still spoke up to save his own Gu insect.

With just one sentence, Yuan Bao’s action of holding the snake’s tail froze!

”I added Crisp-boned Fragrance to the chicken soup. If you don’t want your bones to become brittle, you’d better stay away from the Soul-Devouring Python...”

Heaven help her; she really was giving a candid suggestion!

As Gu Changsheng’s voice fell, Yuan Bao bounced off the snake’s tail in an instant, his movements so bouncy like a rubber ball, incredibly fast!

”Wu... Wife, save me!” Yuan Bao, more snake-like than the python, hesitated and pleaded with his own wife.

Crisp-boned Fragrance? Bones becoming crisp and brittle? Just hearing it makes one shudder in fear!

So scary!

”Crisp-boned Fragrance, its scent wafts for miles, and anyone who smells it will have their flesh and bones turn crispy, shattering at a touch!” Gu Changsheng watched Yuan Bao amusedly, nudging a Scorpion Gu on the ground with his toe, putting a bit of force, and instantly the Scorpion Gu turned into dust and scattered on the ground...

Following her movement, Yuan Bao’s body shuddered neatly, his round eyes filled with terror.

”How about it? The chicken soup your wife brewed, does it smell good? Is it effective?” Gu Changsheng blinked her large eyes, rather lewdly winking at Yuan Bao.

The plump body of Yuan Bao shivered at once.

”Haha...” Seeing this, Gu Changsheng burst into an indecent laugh, her laughter echoing through the mountains, stirring numerous flying birds.

Watching his wife continue to move forward, leaving only her silhouette behind, Yuan Bao was in utter disarray in the windy chaos!

Si Xi and Liu Nv also stood there, not daring to move a muscle!

”If we move, will we also turn into dust like that Scorpion Gu?” Yuan Bao swallowed his saliva, his face filled with panic, even afraid to move his lips too much, fearful that he might become the next shattered Scorpion Gu in a second...

”I think, yes...” Si Xi, transformed into a Mummy, spoke with a twitching face.

His wife was unparalleled in medical skills, recognized as the best in the world, but as her personal eunuch, Si Xi knew better than anyone that her favorite hobby was researching those strange pots and jars in the underground chamber of the Medicine Tower...

And each of those pots and jars, each could kill a person unseen...

”What are you waiting for?” Zhou Mu turned back, looking at the people behind him who had turned into mummies, one, two, three... eight in total!

”Master, Yuan Bao dares not move! Yuan Bao fears that moving will shatter him! Wu...” Seeing her stop, Yuan Bao cried on the spot, the sight truly pitiful.

The rest nodded, gently nodding their heads! Daring not to make any sudden movements...

Zhou Mu looked back at the eight people, clenched her eyes shut hard, calming the frustration in her chest!

Why, being around Changsheng for too long, do these people’s brains become so addled?

This truly is baffling!

”If Crisp-boned Fragrance was effective on you, you each would have been down for the count before counting to ten!” Throwing her arms in a purple sleeve, Zhou Mu dropped this statement and, without another glance, turned to chase after her little woman.

Such obvious logic, and yet these people were still scared like this!

This truly is unbearable to watch!

”Eh? Master makes a good point!” Yuan Bao, hearing this, blinked his large eyes and tentatively kicked his foot, ”It didn’t shatter!”

Si Xi and others also hastily kicked their arms and legs, confirming they were unharmed!

Only Han Qiu, with doubtful eyes, lifted his arms and wrists, sniffed carefully with his nose, and ultimately turned and followed his wife briskly, ”We beg the wife to break us out, for when our wife helped us up, she had already sprinkled the antidote on us!”

The answer was that simple!

Her wife, seemingly careless and lighthearted, was actually the most meticulous!

Upon hearing this, the crowd suddenly realized, sniffed themselves hurriedly, and quickly chased after the direction where their wife and master were headed.

The surrounding woods, under the night sky, filled with faint groaning sounds, Gu Changsheng and her group, walked leisurely towards a hill as if on a stroll.

”Wife, you really are too amazing!” Yuan Bao followed closely, not sparing any flattery, ”Listening to them thump, thump, thump falling from the trees, it’s truly music to the ears, simply the sound of heaven! This is, after all, the most spectacular meteor shower I’ve ever seen in the forests!”

”Humph! Did your wife not do a great job with this pot of dumplings?” Gu Changsheng arrogantly raised her little head, boastfully spoke, ”I’ve always told you your wife’s cooking is very good, she could definitely be a top chef if not a doctor!”

She just disdains competing with chefs, that’s all! Humph!

”Yes, yes, yes! Your wife really did an amazing job with this pot of dumplings! Superb! Top-notch! Perfect! A thousand dumplings going into the pot at once, this truly deserves the name of the full meal!” Yuan Bao’s flattery flowed like water, but deep down, he swore to himself, he would never eat dumplings again! And no more chicken soup! Human flesh dumplings, thinking about it scared him, couldn’t bring himself to eat!

Si Xi, watching such behavior from his own Yuan Bao, was speechless.

Zhou Mu raised her hand to massage her temple, speaking softly to the woman beside her, ”Changsheng my love, this eunuch, this king does not recognize!”

”Master! How can you say that!”
