Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1139: Chapter 808: Roubao, You Scared Mom Half to Death!

Seeing Gu Changsheng walking toward the encircled wolf pack with the blood-dripping Chonghua Dagger, Zhou Mu raised his hand and grabbed her clothes, speaking in a low voice.

”Why?” In Gu Changsheng’s Phoenix Eyes, the blood-red hue hadn’t faded. She turned back and roared in defiance.

This pack of beasts dared to hurt her little bundle!

Unforgivable even with a hundred deaths!

”I’ll trap them first, you go check on Yaoyao; he’s surely frightened.” Zhou Mu responded gently.

Under the moonlight, his face was as serene as a Divine Residence, shining like the bright moon in the sky.

The worry on that face instantly calmed Gu Changsheng’s agitated, bloodthirsty heart.

She nodded lightly, and without another word, Gu Changsheng walked toward where the two Imperial Gu were located.

Zhou Mu saw this, shook his head helplessly, and turned away. His handsome brows immediately furrowed tightly as he raised his hand, a few Command Flags flicked from his hand, thrusting into the ground around the encircled wolf pack.

”Awou!”

”Awou!”

”...”

The remaining dozens of Sky Wolves saw this and ferociously lunged outward, but their bodies seemed to be blocked by an invisible force. As soon as they approached the outlined perimeter by the Command Flags, they were pushed back.

The scarlet Chonghua was still dripping blood.

Blood dripped drop by drop, falling onto the ground littered with wolf corpses, quickly mixing with the bloodstains on the ground...

Shoes.

Stepping through the mess on the ground, Gu Changsheng approached the Imperial Gu step by step.

Seeing their mother coming, the little bundle slid down from Maomao’s turtle neck with the support of Little Han Mo with the Black Face.

The wound on his chest had stopped bleeding, but the bloodstain remained, dyeing his small chest red.

Gu Changsheng’s eyes fixated unblinkingly on the blood-stained clothes, and the coldness that had just dissipated from her face slowly gathered again...

Just as he raised his foot, intending to approach his mother, the little bundle saw this, and his mouth instantly drooped. He trembled and retracted his small leg, his little head bowed, not daring to move another step.

”Why did you leave the Heavenly Palace without permission? Why did you run out here?” Staring at her little bundle with Phoenix Eyes, Gu Changsheng asked sternly.

”Mom... Mother...” The little bundle’s face turned even paler at the words, his chubby little hands repeatedly tugging at his collar, his head lowered further, his round eyes gleaming with tears, extremely aggrieved.

”Greetings, my lord, Han Mo failed to protect his master adequately, please punish me!”

”Greetings, Witch Lord, Wuchang Yue failed to guard adequately, please punish me!”

Little Han Mo with the Black Face and Wuchang Yue dropped to their knees in the pool of blood with a ”thump” sound, bowing their heads and pleading guilty.

”It’s my fault. I failed to protect them! Cough, cough!” Dowager Empress Xiao’s face was pale, and she coughed lightly, holding her chest, her head bowed with guilt.

Gu Changsheng, who had walked a few steps in front of them, waved her long sleeve dismissively, ”It’s not your fault! Without you all exerting yourselves, would he have survived? It’s me! I’m the one who spoiled him too much, raising him to be so unruly!”

As Gu Changsheng spoke, the Chonghua Dagger in her hand fell to the ground, and her body slumped down, sitting on the ground with a face of post-survival expression.

”Mother...” Seeing this, the little bundle immediately darted past everyone, lunging toward his mother who was kneeling in the blood pool, ”Mother...”

”Dumpling! Son! You scared your mother to death! You scared your mother to death! If your mother had been a little later, how could you still be alive? How could you still be alive?” Seeing her son’s pale little face, Gu Changsheng reached out her long arm, pulling the little dumpling into her embrace, pressing his little head against her still fearful chest which was rising and falling irregularly, ”You almost scared your mother half to death! You’re the apple of your mother’s eye, if anything happened to you, what would your mother do? You scared your mother to death!”

Rubbing her son in her arms angrily, Gu Changsheng’s voice choked with emotion.

”Mother, mother don’t be afraid! Yaoyao is fine! Yaoyao is fine! Look, my arms and legs are all good! All good!” Upon hearing this, the little dumpling kicked his little arms and legs, trying his best to show off in his mother’s arms. As he spoke, tears as big as beans began to flow from his eyes, ”Waa... Mother! Baby was so scared, so many wolves! So scary! Yaoyao thought he would never see mother again! Waa...”

”It’s okay now! It’s okay now! Mother is here! Mother won’t let anything hurt my little dumpling! Yaoyao don’t be afraid! Yaoyao don’t be afraid!” Gu Changsheng patted her son’s little back hurriedly, comforting him gently.

”Waa... Afraid! Afraid... Waa...” The terror of being surrounded by a wolf pack exploded as soon as he saw his mother, and the little dumpling collapsed into his mother’s arms, crying his heart out.

The mother and son knelt in the pool of blood, both feeling a sense of having narrowly escaped death.

”Don’t be afraid! Yaoyao don’t be afraid!” Gu Changsheng gently patted her son, speaking softly, ”Look, these wolves, they’re all killed by your mother and Uncle Wood, they won’t hurt you again! Yaoyao don’t be afraid!”

”Mother, so much blood! So much blood! So many Gu babies died... they all died... I saw them being bitten by wolves and bleeding a lot, falling to the ground...” Tears kept falling from the little dumpling’s eyes, and his little hand tightly clutched his mother’s clothes, a look of sadness on his face, ”Mother, you said the most painful thing in the world is parting with life and death, watching your comrades fall before you, mother, Yaoyao hurts so much! It hurts here!”

Seeing her little dumpling lifting a hand to press on his small chest, Gu Changsheng’s heart tightened, ”They will come back to life, you bear the Gu Breath legacy, when you return to the Nine-Layer Heavenly Palace, back to the Three Palaces Peak, you can make their bloodline continue once more on the altar...”

”But, that won’t be them anymore! Even if they continue, they won’t be those Gu babies anymore... Mother, it hurts here! Mother, I don’t want to see life and death parting, I don’t want to grow up...” The little dumpling shook his little head tearfully, clutching the clothes on his chest tightly and not letting go.

”Yaoyao...” Gu Changsheng looked at her sorrowful son, took a deep breath, and comforted him in a low voice, ”Everyone will grow up, and everyone will pay for their waywardness. You left the Heavenly Palace and experienced this calamity, feeling the pain of parting and death, and all this is because I eloped and caused it. Yaoyao, this is growth, everyone’s growth comes with a price, it’s just a matter of how much...”

”Mother...” The little dumpling nodded, his eyes still carrying an inescapable sadness.

”Yaoyao, you are your mother’s good son, be strong, you should now go to check on Granny Xiao, Han Mo, Wuchang Yue, and the little monk who protected you desperately, see if they are hurt, and thank them, you know?” Gu Changsheng said, then waved at those three little kids, watching them walk over. She let go of the little dumpling in her arms, stood up from the pool of blood, then bent down, pulling up their little arms to check them one by one.

”Were you hurt by the wolves? Where were you hurt? Let me see quickly...”

”No, no, it was Granny Xiao protecting us, we weren’t hurt... only the Young Master, his chest...” Xiao Han Mo shook his head, letting Gu Changsheng rub on him for a while, and then spoke softly.

”If he hadn’t left the Heavenly Palace willfully, would you have encountered the wolf pack? If he doesn’t shed a little blood, he’ll never learn a lesson!” Gu Changsheng gave her little dumpling a glare, then switched targets, grabbing Wuchang Yue over for a careful check, ”Were you hurt anywhere? Xiao Yueyue?”

”Witch Lord, I wasn’t hurt either...” Wuchang Yue shook his head as well.

”You! Come over here!” Gu Changsheng grabbed the Little Monk Bu Jie, who was hiding to the side, ”Why are your pants torn? Are you hurt?”

Seeing a few blood marks on Little Monk Bu Jie’s calf from the wolf’s claws, Gu Changsheng deftly pulled a small pouch from her waist, opened a medicine bottle, and sprinkled some powder on it. She couldn’t help but give Little Monk Bu Jie a sideways glance and said in a low voice, ”They’re either old or young, none of them can keep still, how come even you are fooling around with them? Shang Xie, you are known for being able to keep calm, how did you end up sneaking out with them too?”

”It was your son who dragged this poor monk, insisting on dragging this poor monk into the water...” Little Monk Bu Jie lifted his little bald head and spoke very truthfully.

He was originally chanting scriptures in the Heavenly Palace just fine, but he was forcibly dragged out...

”You!” Gu Changsheng was helpless.

”I’m sorry, it was my fault, I caused so many Gu babies to die and dragged you into trouble with me...” The little dumpling hung his little head, apologized with a guilty face, ”Thank you for protecting me, I won’t fool around anymore in the future...”

”You! You say that every time! Don’t say they don’t believe you, even I, your mother, don’t believe you!” After checking the little ones, Gu Changsheng slowly breathed a sigh of relief, ”Luckily, luckily, they’re not as badly hurt as you are!”

Saying this, she picked up the little dumpling, stood up, and placed a medicinal pill into his little mouth with a heartbroken look, ”You lost so much blood, hold on to this Qi Boosting Blood Enriching Pill, don’t faint on me!”

”Mm-hm!” With the medicinal pill in his mouth, the little dumpling nodded his head like a pecking bird while lying on his mother’s shoulder.

Zhou Mu also walked over, looking at Dowager Empress Xiao, a faint smile on his lips, ”Empress Xiao, for today’s life-saving grace to Young Master Gu Ze, this king and Changsheng owe you. When the day comes for your Nirvana Seizure Technique, this king and Changsheng will personally protect you, regardless of success or failure, this king promises that the Liaodong Jin Family will stand together with our people, never to be abandoned!”

Upon hearing this, Dowager Empress Xiao’s pale old face immediately lit up with joy, and she laughed heartily, ”Haha... in this case, this time I have truly turned misfortune into a blessing. Even if I die, it will be worth it!”

”Granny Xiao, here, this is the internal breath regulating medicine my mother gave me!” The little dumpling, with a medicinal pill in his mouth, stretched out a little paw from his mother’s shoulder and handed a small medicine bottle to Dowager Empress Xiao.

”Yaoyao is such a good boy! Granny is fine, Yaoyao doesn’t need to worry.” Dowager Empress Xiao smiled and took it, her face full of kindness. Finally, she looked at the radiant couple before her and sighed...
