Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Capítulo 1108: Chapter 778: She’s Just Too Willful!

Guo Luo felt disdained by his own wife, touched his nose sheepishly, and looked in the direction Zhou Mu had disappeared, muttering with a bitter face, “I really don’t understand what you women are thinking, always thinking one thing and doing another, causing a fuss all day long…”

“Keep babbling, and believe it or not, I’ll beat you up too!” Beauty Sai threatened with a grim expression, raising her fist.

“No, no, no! I won’t talk anymore!” Guo Luo said, quickly stepping back hesitantly.

Beauty Sai snorted coldly, no longer looking at him, supported her heavy waist, and turned to leave.

Seeing her leaving, Guo Luo immediately raised his hand and asked anxiously, “Where are you going? It’s almost time to eat!”

“I see the young lady’s face doesn’t look good, they must be at odds. I’ll go and talk to her, you can have the food sent to the guest room.” Beauty Sai said helplessly without turning back.

“Godfather! You’re going to talk to her? Be careful, don’t upset her…” That Female Overlord doesn’t seem to have a good temper!

Guo Luo shouted worriedly at his wife’s back.

Beauty Sai waved her hand behind her back and slowly made her way to the guest room to find Gu Changsheng.

Meanwhile, Guo Luo, after thinking for a moment, still holding the medicine bottle, quickly went to the banquet pavilion in the other direction to find Brother Shui Mu, as Brother Shui Mu had gone that way earlier.

Elder Guo was crying over the pieces of the wine jar on the ground before realizing that everyone was gone, and he didn’t know where his son and daughter-in-law had gone, nor could he see the young men. He stood up awkwardly from the ground, patted his clothes with a worried look, his brows furrowed, unable to resist guessing who exactly these two guests were. With their level of skill, they couldn’t possibly be unknown in the Itinerant World, so they must be young talents sent out by the Hidden World Families…

At the Guo Family Dining Hall, a little maid nervously placed the tray she was holding on the dining table. Her hands trembled slightly, and she didn’t dare to look at the man exuding an aura that warned others to stay away.

Oh… so scary!

Much scarier than her master and young master, it’s terrifying!

After putting down the last steamer basket, the little maid lifted her foot to flee. She needed to run quickly; the atmosphere in the room was so oppressive she couldn’t breathe!

“Stop!”

Just then, a cold voice sounded beside the little maid. Hearing it, she clung tightly to the tray, turning back with a face about to cry, trembling and stuttering, “Hon… honorable guest, is there… anything you need?”

Zhou Mu sat in the guest seat, exuding coldness, and pointed to the food already laid out on the table, frowning deeply, and spoke in a low voice, “Pack some of this up and take it to the guest room, this one, this one, and this one…”

Speaking of which, those slender fingers pointed at the various dishes on the table one by one.

The little maid, hearing this, felt relieved, but as Zhou Mu pointed at more and more dishes, the corner of her mouth began to twitch slightly.

The Guo Family came from the Itinerant World, and both the master and young master had always been quite informal. Even the little maids in the mansion were raised by Elder Guo without much formality, but upon seeing most of the food on the table designated by the guest, the little maid felt she had to say something and bravely spoke up, “Honorable guest, this should be enough, right? If you point out more…”

If he pointed out more, her master and young master might go hungry!

Hearing this, Zhou Mu’s hand that was pointing at the dishes finally stopped, “Well, let’s make do with this much. Take it to the guest room, make sure she eats breakfast, and then come back to report to me!”

“What if the young lady doesn’t want to?” The little maid asked innocently, knowing full well who this male guest was referring to, as she had seen the two guests fighting from a distance early in the morning.

Upon hearing her words, the murderous intent instantly flashed in Zhou Mu’s deep black eyes.

The little maid was startled, immediately lowering her head, her hands swiftly packing the designated dishes into the tray in her hands, too afraid to say any more.

At this moment, Guo Luo strode in from outside with the medicine bottle. Seeing the little maid packing up the food, he suspiciously asked, “What’s going on here? The dishes were already on the table; why are they being taken back?”

Hearing the young master’s question, the little maid immediately raised her head with a wronged expression and explained timidly, “The esteemed guest ordered it to be sent to the guest room…”

“Oh…” Guo Luo, hearing this, remembered his wife’s instructions, but in just one word, he managed to convey a profound meaning. He waved his hand to indicate to the little maid to go quickly, then sat down beside Zhou Mu, stared at him with his big bright eyes, and proudly brought the medicine bottle closer, shaking it twice in front of him.

Upon seeing the medicine bottle, Zhou Mu’s cold aura immediately dissipated, and a hint of gentle warmth appeared in his deep-set eyes.

“Haha…” Guo Luo burst into laughter upon seeing Zhou Mu’s quick change of expression. He clapped Zhou Mu’s shoulder with a hearty laugh, “Wise Brother Shui Mu, what are you and your little wife up to? If it’s because we interrupted your good time last night, I apologize, but there’s no need to get into a fight and shed blood!”

“It’s not because of you guys.” Zhou Mu shook his head, took the medicine bottle from Guo Luo’s hand, and began rolling up his sleeves.

His sleeve was cut by the sharp aura of the Chonghua Dagger, and you could faintly see a trace of fresh blood seeping through.

Upon seeing this, Guo Luo quickly got up to fetch the hand-washing basin placed at the entrance of the Dining Hall, helping him clean the wound. The wound wasn’t big, just a surface scratch, nothing serious for Itinerant World’s People.

As he helped, Guo Luo couldn’t help but nag, “Just what are you two up to? Clearly, you’re a pair of lovers with mutual affection, yet you fight so much. That young lady cares about your injury, and you remember to bring her meals. Obviously, you both can’t let go of each other, so why not talk things out clearly? If there’s a misunderstanding, clear it up!”

“Couples fighting is common, making up at the bedside, no need for a man to bear a grudge against a woman!” Guo Luo continued helping Zhou Mu change to a clean rag, then picked up a small jug of wine from the table, pouring some onto the rag, and raised his eyebrows at Zhou Mu, “This is my experience speaking as a brother who’s been there, you don’t know the temper of your sister-in-law, yet we’re doing just fine, right? You just have to coax women a bit, a few sweet words can solve it, they absolutely love that!”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu frowned slightly but still shook his head.

Seeing this, Guo Luo was quite helpless, watching Zhou Mu sprinkle the powder from the medicine bottle onto his wound. He then sat beside him seriously and said in a deep voice, “Then you have to tell me why you two ended up like this? You were fine last night!”

Zhou Mu finished applying the medicine and stopped Guo Luo from bandaging his wound, frowning slightly and speaking in a deep voice, “She’s too willful! Not only that, she’s stubborn!”

“Uh…” Hearing this, Guo Luo couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

“I promised her father that I wouldn’t let her cause trouble, and for that, I got a good scolding from her father…” Zhou Mu continued.

Hearing this, Guo Luo immediately laughed with schadenfreude, “Haha… That’s normal! Beauty Sai was adopted by the Wind Cloud Mountain Villa, and grew up with the Manor Master. Although she has no parents, when I married her, I took a beating from several top experts under the Manor Master, yet still, the mother-in-law likes the son-in-law more and more as she looks at him, but the father-in-law just doesn’t like the son-in-law! Even now, I’m not well-regarded by the Manor Master!”

“Wise Brother Shui Mu, don’t take it to heart, this just proves that her father loves her very much!”

Zhou Mu nodded at this, “I’m just worried she’ll be stubborn about it and not give up!”

“So you’re avoiding her?” Guo Luo raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Mu nodded again, speaking with some helplessness, “I have no way to deal with her, I can’t indulge her willfulness, I can only keep my distance, and wait for a few days until she gives up that inappropriate idea.”

“So this is going to be a cold war?” Guo Luo widened his eyes with a face of earnest advice, “Wise Brother Shui Mu, I have to say, you’re taking the wrong approach, avoiding the problem is not the solution, isn’t it? Don’t make it worse and end up ruining things!”

“I see that sister-in-law is straightforward too, just clear the air and there’ll be no problem, why leave it hanging like this?”

Zhou Mu sighed upon hearing this, “There’s no way to make it clear!”

How could he make it clear? Say he’d rather endure and stay celibate like a Monk than be with her?

That would really make things worse!

But, otherwise, he really has no way to explain to the Father-in-law, and he doesn’t want to get her entangled in rumors and become the subject of public criticism!

He has no way to deal with her and can’t resist her at all. Every time he thinks about her having that kind of idea, he can’t help but feel a thrill in his heart, somewhat unable to control himself. So, it’s better to avoid her for two days until that thought subsides…

Thinking of this, Zhou Mu shook his head helplessly, seeing that the wound on his arm had healed, he lifted his hand to lower the rolled-up sleeve.

This action immediately drew Guo Luo’s attention, his eyes widened in disbelief as he grabbed Zhou Mu’s arm, preventing him from lowering the sleeve, staring dumbstruck at the arm where the bleeding had stopped, and the wound had already contracted and healed. He exclaimed, “How…how is it possible! How could it heal so fast?”

Even if the wound wasn’t big, there’s no reason for it to heal this fast!

It’s instantaneous, visibly healing before the naked eye!
