Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 949: Chapter 755: The Far North Revisited, Wedding Date Set

As if venting all the grievances of the past, Gu Changsheng lay on Tan Nv’s shoulder, sobbing uncontrollably, “Wuuu… Ning Er is dead, so many of the dead soldiers from the Bright Moon Tower are dead, the blood dyed the Hengtang Water red, I feel so sad! Even you were in eternal slumber, just lying there with your eyes closed, I thought you would never wake up again, I thought… wuuu… Tan Nv, later I swept through the Southern Border, reaching the position of the Southern Emperor, I dared not ask any questions about you anymore, I’m afraid… I’m afraid…”

Once, indeed, there were so many people who protected her with their lives, who died for her!

Those cold corpses, that cold Ning Er…

All because of her…

She went berserk, she went mad, she killed so many, many people, yet still could not wake them up! Wake up those who died for her!

Now, in her infinite glory, who would have thought she was once so helpless and bewildered!

She killed! She never hesitated to kill those who deserved to be killed, one might even say she was ruthless and merciless, but in the end, she could not be cold-blooded; she couldn’t bear to see those around her die just like that, cold, never to open their eyes again…

“My lady, death is the beginning of life, life is the source of death, one must look beyond life and death…” Tan Nv looked at the woman crying uncontrollably in her embrace, full of helplessness, no one had ever been this close to her…

“I can’t see beyond it! I can’t see beyond it! Ning Er is dead! She’s dead…” Gu Changsheng shook her head, thinking of that Hidden Guard Ning Er, always with a cold face, the girl who endured her bullying without complaint and patience, she died for her…

Everyone watched, for a moment not knowing what to do, they were all startled by Gu Changsheng’s sobbing, Zhou Mu hesitated, wanted to step forward to comfort her with a face full of heartache, but was held back by Gu Taitian.

Gu Taitian glanced at Zhou Mu, sighed, and spoke, “Let her cry a bit, she must have gone through a lot of suffering along the way, in this life and the last, holding it in for so long…”

“It was my fault for not taking good care of her.” Zhou Mu lowered his head.

“It’s not your fault!” Gu Taitian shook his head, looking lovingly at his crying daughter.

Finally, after a while, as if having vented enough, Gu Changsheng lifted her head from Tan Nv, rubbing her nose and looking somewhat embarrassed at Tan Nv before her, “Are you okay now? Does waking up mean the backlash of the Witch King’s Curse is lifted, that you’re okay?”

“Yes! I’m fine.” Tan Nv nodded, a faint smile on her typically pale face hidden in the shadows, “I am the Chaotic Great Witch, born alongside the Insect God since the end of the Ancient Wilderness, my mission is to find the person who can feed it, awaken it! So, my lady, you needn’t feel guilty.”

“It’s good that you’re okay.” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng nodded repeatedly, overjoyed.

“So, I must go to the North of the desert now, aren’t you very worried about Princess Nian? I’ll guard her for you first, then wait for you in the North of the desert!” Tan Nv’s face, though smiling, was very stiff because she was already used to being expressionless, “My lady, you want to resurrect your mother, you want the Insect God to leave the body, all the opportunities are in the north of the Northern Desert, in the Divine Demise Land, and I must go there too, to seek a destiny!”

“When can I go to the North of the desert?” Seeing this, Gu Changsheng asked anxiously.

“Everything is predestined, I just want to see what the heavens want to do…” Tan Nv slightly bent her lips into a smile, bowing her head slightly in respect, turned, and walked out.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng hurriedly took a step forward, “But someone once told me not to go to the Divine Demise Land!”

That person was Huo Shuixian!

In her dying words to her, Huo Shuixian said, don’t, the Divine Demise Land!

This was how she understood it!

“But, will you not go?” Tan Nv’s voice, with a foreign accent, came from afar, the person already gone beyond the Palace Gate.

Will she not go?

No!

She will go!

For her mother, for the mother who died for her in two lifetimes, she has no choice but to go!

“I seem to hear the song of the lament of the Gods…”

Just as everyone was looking at the place where Tan Nv disappeared with inexplicable expressions, a proud yet youthful voice emerged beside Gu Changsheng.

“Manman?” Gu Changsheng looked incredulously at the Holy Golden phantom floating beside her.

Since leaving the Southern Border, Manman had rarely awakened, always in slumber, why awoke today?

Was it because of Tan Nv?

“The song of the lament of the Gods? What is that?” Gu Changsheng asked with a puzzled expression.

The Holy Golden Little Bug Phantom seriously gazed into the void, not answering Gu Changsheng’s question, instead muttering, “Has the one who is supposed to awaken me, been here?”

“Yes!” Gu Changsheng nodded.

“What did she say?” Manman Little Bug lowered its head slightly.

“She said she’s waiting for me in the north of the Northern Desert, in the Divine Demise Land…” Gu Changsheng replied hesitantly.

“It’s that place again!” Manman Bug went berserk upon hearing this, the holy golden phantom nearly dissipating. “Gu Changsheng, I told you, defying the heavens once is forgivable, twice is foolish, thrice is unforgivable. Why won’t you give up? Curiosity killed the cat. Do you need to hit the southern wall before you’ll turn back? No! If you hit the southern wall, there’s no turning back! Gu Changsheng, wake up!”

“…” Gu Changsheng was taken aback by the scolding and didn’t know how to react for a moment.

Nearby, Gu Taitian’s expression turned stern at these words, and he looked down without speaking.

“The cowardly Insect God! You’re disgracing the name of a god! Why are you shouting at her?” Suddenly, Little Monk Bu Jie’s voice came from the palace gate. His small figure appeared under the grand gateway, truly looking like a little child.

“You! Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed! This affair has been eerie from the start, and yet you still encourage her to go!” Seeing Little Monk Bu Jie, Manman Bug became even more furious.

The heavenly tribulation was supposed to descend twice and didn’t. This defies common sense, yet these people still seek to revive Gu Changsheng’s mother, risking a third challenge!

Once is forgivable, twice is foolish, thrice is unforgivable! Enough is enough!

Manman instinctively felt that a great disaster would follow, but it couldn’t articulate what the disaster would be!

“Only by placing oneself in danger can rebirth occur. Without reaching a dead end, how can one find life?” Little Monk Bu Jie, as benevolent as ever, fearlessly stared at Manman Bug. “Aren’t you curious about the reason behind all this?”

“I…” Manman Bug was at a loss for words, its insect body trembled, and in an instant, it retreated back into Gu Changsheng’s brow.

Gu Changsheng looked bewilderedly at the Little Monk Bu Jie in front of her, then glanced at her dad standing not far from the Little Monk. Why did she feel that the expressions of these two carried a weighty seriousness?

Could it be that the Divine Demise Land is truly dangerous? Has it become the perilous place that Little Monk Bu Jie speaks of, where one must face danger to survive?

Zhou Mu also frowned, staring at Little Monk Bu Jie.

“Amitabha! The wedding date is set for the eighth of June, just a fortnight away. Tomorrow, someone will come to arrange the formalities for the marriage proposal. Benefactor Changsheng, it’s best to prepare early!” Little Monk Bu Jie clapped his hands together, chanted a Buddhist verse, spoke these words, and then turned to leave for his residence.

“Little Monk, wait, I’ll accompany you!” Gu Taitian called out and followed with large strides.

Facing tonight’s chaos, Gu Changsheng was helpless, but she remembered one important point, which was to stop Little Monk Bu Jie!

With a flicker, Gu Changsheng blocked Little Monk Bu Jie’s path and, frowning, asked, “When will it be the right time for me to go to the Divine Demise Land?”

This concerned her!

North of the Northern Desert, the Divine Demise Land, even if it’s a Dragon’s Den and a Tiger’s Lair, she would charge through. But she was waiting for the right moment as spoken by Little Monk Bu Jie, and even her father was waiting!

Though people don’t talk about supernatural forces and gods, they’ve seen so many spirits and deities, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but believe!

Little Monk Bu Jie looked deeply at Gu Changsheng and said, “I don’t know! When the opportunity arises, everything will become clear! Right now, Benefactor Changsheng, the Hongluan Star is active, making it the perfect time to form a good match with Benefactor Zhou. For everything else, wait patiently and follow divine fate!”

With those words, Little Monk Bu Jie turned and left, with Gu Taitian following him.

It wasn’t until Little Monk Bu Jie was far away that Gu Changsheng realized not only did she not get an answer to her question, Little Monk Bu Jie also ridiculed her!

“Damn! Shang Xie, you wait till I pluck all your hairs off, you deceitful monk!” Gu Changsheng fumed, pointing in the direction where Little Monk Bu Jie had disappeared, stomping her feet.

“He’s a monk, so he’s hairless!” Zhou Mu gently took the furious young woman into his arms, speaking with a smile.

“Get away! Don’t add to my frustration!” Gu Changsheng snapped angrily.

“Lady Changsheng, my Lord spoke the truth! Little Monk Bu Jie shaves his head frequently; I don’t think you’ll get a chance to pluck his hairs!” Yuan Bao, on the side, aimed to lighten the heavy atmosphere and immediately spoke with an innocent expression.

“You! You! You!” Gu Changsheng pointed at Yuan Bao for a while, unable to say a word. After a long time, her hand dropped powerlessly, and she looked up at Zhou Mu who was holding her, and said, “Evildoer, Princess Nian has left and can’t attend our wedding…”

“Don’t worry, we can ask her for a gift afterwards.” Zhou Mu nodded and spoke with a smile, exceedingly happy that the wedding date was set for half a month later!

“Damn! Why didn’t I think of that! I even helped her pack her luggage! Damn! I should have held her luggage here to prevent her from skipping on the gift!” The thought of the wedding gifts, fleeting like a cooked duck flying away, turned Gu Changsheng’s face sour, a faint ache of regret!

Not only did she not have Borjigin Nian’s things, she even lent her own belongings to her!

Damn it! Knowing Borjigin Nian’s bad habits, there’s a huge chance she might really duck out of giving those gifts!

A blunder! Such a big blunder!

“Hehe… you really have a loose screw or two!” Zhou Mu raised his hand to rub her small head, casting a worried glance in the direction where Little Monk Bu Jie and his father-in-law had disappeared.
