Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 784: Chapter 616 The Dust Settles

Little Monk Bu Jie heard this and spoke up, not without a sense of loneliness.

Originally, the Secret Sect Shang Clan lived in seclusion deep in the mountains, and there were many Divine Breaths in this world. Even if it was a Divine Breath that couldn’t last more than a hundred years, it was still a Divine Breath!

However, once the Secret Sect Shang Clan met with disaster, there was no longer a god to keep them company in this world!

”I really am extremely fortunate, aren’t I?” Manman said, immediately tugging at the corner of his mouth.

”Cough cough!” Gu Changsheng, looking at the insect before him and a little monk, was momentarily at a loss for words. Eventually, he mustered up the courage to clear his throat twice to interrupt their stare-off, raising a hand and pointing above, ”That, um, the moon has come out...”

”I know!”

”I know!”

Little Monk Bu Jie and Manman said in unison.

”Uh...” Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched for a moment, and after several attempts, he finally said, ”So, Shang Xie, does the moon coming out mean that the calamity of defying heaven has passed?”

Or in other words, did this damn world just let Little Monk Bu Jie get away with his mischief and give in?

”What does Benefactor Changsheng think?” Little Monk Bu Jie snorted, chanting a Buddhist scripture, ”Amitabha Amitabha! This monk has violated the precept against frivolousness, I wonder if Buddha will still welcome me...”

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth at these words.

”You, with your meat and wine passing through your body, I’ve always felt that Buddha was blind to have taken you in...” Supporting his father who stepped out of the ravine, Gu Changsheng turned around and smiled at Little Monk Bu Jie, ”Nevertheless, thank you. Thank you for saving him, and for saving me too!”

”No need to thank me! The cycle of karma, and the consequences of past actions, everything is predestined!” Little Monk Bu Jie said, his bright bald head bobbing as he regained his usual compassionate and benevolent look.

”Okay, the world of gods really isn’t something we mortals can comprehend! In other words, you gods really know how to play, you can’t scare people like that! I was nearly scared to pee my pants from my soul disintegrating!”

”To me, Benefactor Changsheng seemed quite composed.”

”That was an act, get it?”

Little Monk Bu Jie fell silent immediately, meanwhile Manman, who had been summoned by Gu Taitian, had all along been following closely behind him, his face showing eagerness to please.

”Stop following me! I’m a monk, I don’t deal with that insect act!” Little Monk Bu Jie gave him a look and spoke disdainfully.

”Can I borrow your Blood of the Gods to rebuild a Divine Body?” Manman asked with a twisted face, struggling to speak.

”No!” Little Monk Bu Jie’s answer was brief and decisive, with not the slightest room for negotiation!

”Wah... Dandan’s Mom, the Little Monk is mean! The Little Monk won’t help me!”

The next instant, feeling humiliated, Manman went back to bed of his own accord. He left this arduous yet glorious task to Dandan, who was very good at acting cute and coquettish...

When Gu Changsheng heard the voice of Dandan Bug, he turned around, and his gaze towards Little Monk Bu Jie flickered uncertainly...

This, damn it... is a great Buddha shining with golden light!

Although, this great Buddha is a bit small!

But she can’t afford to provoke it!

So, no matter how much Dandan Bug whined and acted cute, Gu Changsheng resolutely chose, never to provoke that little monk!

He absolutely couldn’t afford to provoke him!

He damn well didn’t just have cheats enabled, he damn well was a cheat!

The darkness before dawn, as the first light of daybreak slit through the eastern sky, made the ravines under Gu Changsheng’s feet and the scorched mountaintops appear like a distant memory!

Cracked boulders, withered towering trees, fallen leaves and grass...

If not for the fact that everything before her eyes was so real, Gu Changsheng would have even doubted whether the events of last night were just a fanciful dream!

Why she came here, the heroic deeds her father once performed... All the talk of gods, the calamities of defying heaven, was just her imagination!

But unfortunately, everything before her eyes was real!

Her father, who was looking for death, was right in front of her, leaving no room for her to doubt!

”Changsheng, if I had known you had such a capable person protecting you, I definitely would not have come to see you...” Gu Taitian said with an inexplicable look as he glanced at Little Monk Bu Jie and spoke weakly.

”If I knew our Little Monk was so capable, I wouldn’t have been scared out of my wits!” Gu Changsheng thought of Little Monk Bu Jie and couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

At this very moment, her little monk was locked in a fierce struggle with the phantom of an insect!

Her precious son, the little meat bun, stood with his arms akimbo in the pose of a blooming flower of the motherland, squatting nearby and enjoying the spectacle!

”Shang Xie... little monk... senior monk... a monk who has attained the Way...” the Dandan Bug managed to twist the little monk Bu Jie’s titles through eighteen bends, in a tone incredibly drawn-out and melodious...

”Dandan, that’s not right of you. You seem to be discriminating against the little monk’s height. He’s not tall at all, so how can you call him a senior monk?” The little meat bun, who was watching the spectacle, expressed his opinion very pertinently, ”He’s only one ’meter meter’ year older than me, only one ’meter meter’ hall taller than me. If you call him a senior monk, then you should be calling me a lofty person!”

”You!” Upon hearing this, the Dandan Bug suddenly lost his balance and sprawled out on the ground.

He had truly knelt before the person standing before him!

”Haha... Dandan Bug, you’re so silly. Even shadows can trip and fall, I’ve never seen such a silly insect before!” The little meat bun couldn’t help laughing when he saw this.

”You! You guys! Woah... Dandan’s Mom, the little monk and little meat bun are ganging up on me...” Isolated and ridiculed, Dandan Bug immediately began to call for backup!

”Stop it! If you don’t want to be bullied, call out Manman!” Gu Changsheng waved his hand dismissively, walking straight through the Dandan Bug’s holy golden phantom.

The Dandan Bug, feeling wronged, started to reconsolidate his dispersed phantom and pouted, ”No way, he’s so fierce, I don’t want him to come out and lose face!”

”Who are you calling a loss of face? Ignorant child, how dare you blaspheme me!” Suddenly, a voice full of severity but inner timidity came from within the Dandan Bug.

”Wow! How can you eavesdrop on people’s conversations like that, you scared the baby to death! You owe me! You owe me!” the Dandan Bug’s tiny figure trembled, immediately squeaking out in protest.

The little insect, little monk, and little meat bun all gathered together again, bustling with excitement!

Of course, excitement is relative. For instance, Gu Changsheng was not feeling the excitement at the moment!

Because her dear dad was not exactly being well-behaved!

He was entirely fixated on the idea of dying for love, wanting to follow her prematurely departed mom to the grave!

To this, Gu Changsheng felt very helpless!

She, her mom, nearly experienced the heavenly tribulation alongside her own father. Now, watching her dad seeking death, she truly wanted to bang her head to death on the parched earth!

But who was Gu Changsheng?

She was the indestructible, shameless cockroach!

So she quickly came up with a way to handle her hopeless, despondent dad!

Snatching her feeble dad from Granny Wu Shan’s grasp, Gu Changsheng spoke with extra sorrow, ”Dad, it’s not that you can’t die for love for my mom, but at the very least, shouldn’t you ask for her consent?”

”Hm?” Gu Taitian turned his weak head upon hearing this, glancing at his daughter.

”To give birth to me, to let me have a rightful name, my mom’s still lying in the Gu Family’s ancestral tomb in Liuzhou City!” Gu Changsheng began with a sense of extreme heartache, ”She’s buried next to that cheap dad from the Gu Family, the tombstones side by side, the coffins right next to each other, incredibly close! Now if you were to be buried for love, where should I bury you? Should I place you next to my mom, flanked by that cheap dad on each side, or should I squeeze you in between my mom and that cheap dad?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Taitian’s face instantly darkened, and he said sternly, ”That bastard Gu Lin owes me a life. Taking care of my wife was his duty, how dare he be buried with Ruoshui! That’s my wife!”

”You’re right, but after all, I’ve carried the identity of someone else’s daughter for more than twenty years. It’s somewhat inappropriate for me to personally dig up my own ancestral grave, right? This task should be performed by you!” Gu Changsheng looked at her somber-faced dad, nodding with conviction as she spoke, ”I, Gu Changsheng, am a very filial person. If you don’t do it yourself, then I can only let my mom continue to lie next to that cheap dad of mine!”

”You! You unfilial daughter!” Gu Taitian choked on his anger and started coughing lightly.

”Tsk tsk...” Gu Changsheng hurried over to help her old handsome dad soothe his breath, ”Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. Wait until after the grave is dug to die for love, ha, I promise I won’t stop you then! Also, it’s best if you don’t use the unfilial daughter argument to lecture me, if our old man finds out, he’ll surely curse you for being the unfilial son!”

”You! You! How could your mother and I have given birth to such a rebellious daughter!” Gu Taitian was so infuriated he felt like Buddha ascending to heaven, and then another Buddha being born, he raised his finger, angrily poking at the nose of the daughter who bore an uncanny resemblance to his late wife.

”Hehe... Good teaching from the old man, this isn’t my fault!” Gu Changsheng rubbed her nose, grinning like a cat that got away with stealing cream.

”Let me hold on until I can go to Liuzhou!” Gu Taitian looked at his daughter and spoke in a solemn voice.

”Alrighty! But with your condition, even with me, the Divine Doctor, here, it’s already difficult to hold out until you return to Liuzhou City to dig up the grave. By then, even if you want to live longer, it might be tough! What a waste of a good body!” Gu Changsheng shook her head, speaking as if it were a matter of great consequence.

”You! You unfilial daughter!” Gu Taitian lashed out with a thump on the head.

”Here we go again! Don’t be like a crow perched on a pig’s butt, only seeing your daughter’s darkness!” Gu Changsheng covered her head, jumping away, and retorted discontentedly.

”Who is the crow?” Gu Taitian’s face, dignified and calm as the clear moon, darkened slightly.

”Me!” Gu Changsheng pointed at herself, nodding unhesitatingly, ”The crow is me, the pig is me too. It has nothing to do with you, sir. Rest assured!”

”Hmph! Unfilial daughter!” Gu Taitian looked at her cowering form, unable to vent his frustration, and scornfully left it at that without looking at her again.

Gu Changsheng touched her nose, speechlessly seeking solace with her little meat bun...
