Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1140: Chapter 809: Schemes and Plots, Bring It On!

”Looks like I’m truly getting old! I can’t keep up with you two hot-blooded young men anymore!”

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu exchanged a glance and slightly curled the corners of their mouths.

Then the group turned and walked towards the remains of the Sky Wolves trapped in the formation.

Little Meat and Maomao followed behind them, their bodies having reverted to the size of ordinary Gu insects, resembling two slightly larger pet cats and a pet turtle at first glance, except the cat had no fur, and the turtle had none as well...

”When did you learn this trick?” Gu Changsheng looked at the few command flags trapping the Sky Wolves, slightly raising an eyebrow as she glanced at the man beside her, who was like a Jade Tree of Qiong Branch.

”Learned it from pestering my father-in-law when I had nothing better to do,” Zhou Mu chuckled lightly, speaking softly.

Gu Changsheng looked at her family’s evildoer and couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

Her evildoer indeed!

No matter the time or place, he was always exceedingly regal, even now, standing amidst a blood-soaked field of wolf corpses—he seemed as if he stood within the Golden Horse and Jade Hall, radiating unmatched elegance.

Indeed, when traveling, it’s essential for him to wear a mask!

Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng turned her head again, looking at the despairingly struggling Sky Wolves trapped in the formation.

They had killed countless, leaving only a few dozen wolves!

Earlier, seeing her little meat bun in danger, she hadn’t noticed these wolves were much larger than ordinary wild wolves, and they looked far more ferocious!

”What... kind of wolves are these?” Gu Changsheng widened her eyes, staring dumbfounded at the massive wolves in front of her.

Heck, are these hybridized? Or evolved, damn it?

How did a wolf grow much burlier than a tiger?

This is so darn unscientific!

If wolves all grow like this, why would humans even want to live?

These wolves could completely dominate the world, damn it!

”Of course, they’re no ordinary wolves! Girl, have you heard of the Sky Wolf Howling at the Moon? These are the legendary Sky Wolves! I personally heard their howling,” the Dowager Empress Xiao stepped forward, speaking solemnly, ”You’ve also seen these Sky Wolves’ combat power; if not for your arrival, today we might have met a grim fate, all falling to these wolves!”

”Sky Wolf Howling at the Moon?” Gu Changsheng heard this, a trace of confusion flashing in her eyes, ”I did read about it in local chronicles, but weren’t these legendary Sky Wolves supposed to live in the desert? How did they end up in Liaodong?”

Hearing this, the Dowager Empress Xiao also shook her head in perplexity, ”I too am puzzled; logically, around the main roads, there shouldn’t be any fierce beasts, yet today we encountered so many wolves! Actually, these Sky Wolves were the second wave; before the Sky Wolves appeared, we were just attacked by ordinary wolf packs! Breaking through wasn’t supposed to be difficult, but once the Sky Wolves appeared, we were in jeopardy, unable to break through...”

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu exchanged a glance upon hearing this, their expressions slightly tense.

”At first, I suspected someone deliberately lured the wolf packs, but once the Sky Wolves appeared, I became doubtful—could it be we simply encountered them by coincidence?” the Dowager Empress Xiao looked at Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu with an uncertain gaze.

”Coincidence? That exact coincidence led to your encounter?” Gu Changsheng scoffed hearing this, ”Late spring and early summer, when everything revives; in such times, the beasts in the mountains all emerge. With no shortage of food, why would wolf packs gather to attack humans?”

”I never believe in coincidences! I only trust that every coincidence in the world is man-made!”

Gu Changsheng stated with determination.

Zhou Mu nodded in agreement with a smile.

”Amitabha, Benefactor Changsheng is absolutely correct! This indeed is man-made...” Little Monk Bu Jie, standing amongst everyone, took a lively step forward, looking at the wolves trapped in the formation, kindly raising his hand to point, ”Look! These Sky Wolves are actually human transformations!”

”What are you saying?” Gu Changsheng, startled, jumped back a step, holding her son tightly, ”Sky Wolves? Turned from humans?”

Damn it!

Do you think this is some kind of big magic trick?

This is not scientific!

This severely challenges Gu Changsheng’s understanding!

It made her feel like she stumbled into the world of ”Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio”!

She didn’t believe it! She absolutely refused to believe it! Even if she had transmigrated, damn it, she was still supposed to be living on Earth, right?

Right?

Right?

Eventually, even Gu Changsheng herself started doubting her own beliefs!

Honestly, she too was somewhat uncertain whether this world, structurally so similar to Earth, was truly Earth!

No one had the answers for her!

”The Secret Sect Shang Clan once had rumors that the Sky Wolves are humans transformed...” Little Monk Bu Jie appeared oblivious to Gu Changsheng’s reaction, craning his little bald head to look at the trapped Sky Wolves, his big eyes sparkling with curiosity, ”This is also the first time I’ve seen Sky Wolves in my life, unsure if the rumors are true or false! If these Sky Wolves can speak human words, then the rumors would be proven true!”

”Speak human words? Wolves?” Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched upon hearing this, ”Shang Xie, were you kicked by a donkey? Or just frightened dumb? I’m telling you, you’re seriously overthinking it...”

Talking wolves, isn’t that terrifying?

Although there are modern tales of fox spirits, those are ultimately just legends!

We don’t need a pack of wolf spirits!

”Shang Xie, there are things that wise men don’t talk about, like spirits and monsters. Don’t bring out gods and ghosts, it’s creeping me out a bit!” Gu Changsheng shrank her neck, pouting as she spoke.

This world already has Insect Gods and Human Gods, which is fantastical enough for her. If you add spirits and monsters, Gu Changsheng guarantees she’d cry for sure!

She really would cry!

This is truly too chaotic!

”Isn’t this just a rumor? This humble monk isn’t sure if it’s true or not! But these Sky Wolves definitely seem to have human-like intelligence. Benefactor Changsheng, have you seen the killing intent and unwillingness in their eyes?” The Little Monk Bu Jie asked, blinking with a small face.

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng glanced at the encircled wolf pack.

Believe it or not, those wolf eyes really are like human eyes, seemingly filled with emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness!

This...

Gu Changsheng felt a bit uneasy...

”Actually, in the Liaodong Royal Family’s records, there is something similar, saying that those cunning Sky Wolves with intelligence comparable to humans are actually transformed humans. However, later generations have dismissed this as myths and legends. Listening to the little monk, it does seem plausible...” Dowager Empress Xiao circled the formation surrounding the Sky Wolves, agreeing.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng felt speechless, rolling her eyes at the night sky, then looking at Zhou Mu, she sniffed and said, ”Evildoer, do you believe this? Do you believe these Sky Wolves are transformed humans?”

Zhou Mu frowned slightly upon hearing this, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice, ”In this vast world, everything is possible. It’s not about belief or disbelief, but the fact that Xiao Gu Ze was attacked by these Sky Wolves today is undeniable!”

Does that mean there’s some belief?

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes again, then turned to look at the encircled Sky Wolves, listening to the faint wolf howls from the formation, her voice rose as she spoke in a deep voice, ”Are you human or wolf? If you are transformed humans, try speaking human words to me?”

”Awoo!”

”Awoo!”

”...”

Wolf howls of unwillingness echoed.

It was a wolf howl!

Not human speech!

”Ha!” Seeing this, Gu Changsheng chuckled, placed Little Meat on the ground, waved her wide ink-colored robe sleeve, and her bright youthful face under the moonlight was as bright and cold as the moon, ”Human or wolf, if you dare harm my child, I will not forgive you!”

”Whether demon or spirit, plot or scheme, swords and shadows, come at me! If I fear them for a moment, retreat a step, I’m not worthy of being called Gu Changsheng!”

With that, the red light of the Chonghua Dagger in her hand flashed, ”Evildoer, I will flay them, grind their bones to dust! I will not spare their lives, whether they’re human, wolf, spirit, or monster!”

Hearing this, Zhou Mu smiled gently at Gu Changsheng, his eyes full of affection, ”Alright! Do as you will!”

Pointing the Chonghua Dagger directly at the wolf pack within the formation, Gu Changsheng looked down at the few children beside her, speaking in a deep voice, ”Watch closely, these wolf packs are not invincible, you’re just not strong enough yet! If you don’t want to be trapped by the wolf packs again and face today’s danger, then strive to become stronger!”

Saying this, Gu Changsheng flashed and lunged towards the wolf pack within the formation.

Her hand raised.

The Chonghua Dagger fell!

A Sky Wolf let out a wailing cry, falling within moments.

Blood splattered, each move fatal.

Gu Changsheng’s moves were always straightforward and decisive, without any sloppiness!

The seemingly formidable and difficult-to-handle Sky Wolves slowed down significantly under Gu Changsheng’s swift attacks...

She could clearly pinpoint their flaws, find their fatal weaknesses, and then, wielding her dagger, take their lives!

A wolf head was severed onto the ground, the wolf body instinctively lunged forward for a moment, then collapsed heavily.

A Sky Wolf was cut in half, its entrails spilling out, and with grudging eyes, it slowly closed them...

”Uncle Wood, is mother always this ruthless when she kills wolves?” Watching the wolves fall one by one into pools of blood, Little Meat’s face turned pale, shrinking towards Zhou Mu’s leg, his little neck quivering.

Mother is so ruthless!

So bloodthirsty!

”I don’t know!” Zhou Mu, watching the woman slaughtering through the formation as if there was nobody there, smiled and rubbed the little head leaning against his leg, ”I, this king, have never seen your mother kill wolves, but it’s true that she’s really angry today because you almost met with an accident...”

If she doesn’t vent this pent-up anger, who knows how much she’d agonize and blame herself!

”Uncle Wood, will I be as powerful as mother in the future?” Little Meat looked up, a bit scared but still with admiring eyes glancing at his rampaging mother, watching her single-handedly scatter the wolf pack...
