Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1386: Chapter 1040: The Little Baldy Who Refused to Be a Monk!

With her phoenix eyes slightly squinting, Gu Changsheng pondered while looking at the little bundle of flesh in her arms, her mouth slightly twitching!

Eyesore!

This little baldy!

It’s truly an eyesore no matter how you look at it!

Extremely annoying!

”Mom... hehe... mom...” The little bundle of flesh felt uneasy under his mom’s gaze, could only softly call out twice, nestling against Gu Changsheng, not daring to look her in the eye.

”Get down!” Gu Changsheng saw the guilty look on her son’s face and immediately hardened her expression.

”Boom!”

In the next instant, the little bundle of flesh slipped off Gu Changsheng like a loach, quickly standing between Little Han Mo with the Black Face and Wuchang Yue, straightening up stiffly!

”Explain, what’s with this? Is it your doing?”

Pointing at her son’s bald little forehead, Gu Changsheng repressed her anger and asked coldly.

”N-no... it’s not!”

His round big eyes darted around, the little bundle of flesh just couldn’t muster the courage to look at his mom...

He’s doomed!

Looks like mom is really mad!

Things are going south...

”Witch Lord, actually, you’re blaming Little Monk Bu Jie wrongly, he didn’t do this, your precious son is behind it!” At this moment, Wuchang Yue finally couldn’t hold back and started selling out his companion!

Pointing at the little bundle of flesh, Wuchang Yue furiously said, ”It’s him, he shaved his own hair insisting that life is hopeless and wants everything empty, not to mention he also sneaked into my room at night attempting to shave my hair. If I hadn’t been a light sleeper and noticed his misdeeds, I would have fallen victim to him! I’m a girl, how can I look like him?”

Then, Wuchang Yue pointed at Little Han Mo with the Black Face, said sympathetically with her cute face, ”I dodged it, but Han Mo wasn’t as lucky. Witch Lord, did you see his bald head? Your precious son sneaked onto his bed at night and shaved his hair. Initially, it looked like it was chewed by dogs, and later they had to messily scrape it and seek Little Monk Bu Jie to finish the job, it looks better now than back then!”

At this point, the little Wuchang Yue was already somewhat outraged, glaring at the low-bowed little bundle of flesh with eyes like little flames, angrily said, ”Witch Lord, not just that, your son also forcibly dragged us to chant scriptures. If we didn’t come, he’d drug our meals! He even said that if I didn’t want a bald head, being a little nun wouldn’t be bad either! Witch Lord, if he weren’t your son, I’d have smacked him to death long ago! You better do something about your son!”

It’s undeniable that Wuchang Yue had quite the knack for tattling!

With reason and evidence, her words were very persuasive!

Making Gu Changsheng, as a mother, feel like smacking her son, too!

”You rascal! Look at the mess you’ve made!” In the next moment, Gu Changsheng grabbed the little bundle’s ear, furiously exclaimed.

Turns out, it wasn’t Little Monk Bu Jie pestering her son, it was all self-inflicted!

What’s the reason behind this, then?

Did something go awry in her parenting?

”Mom! Mom! Ouch! My ear is falling off!” The little bundle started crying for mercy immediately when his ear was picked by his mom.

”Ouch? You dare to call ouch? What have I taught you? The body, hair, and skin are received from your parents, have you forgotten that phrase?” Gu Changsheng pointed at the little bundle’s bald head, angrily said.

Could she not be angry?

Since she came to this time and place, Han Qiu had always been by her side, never leaving, Little Han Mo with the Black Face was the only brother she had left, the core of her family. If her son led him to emptiness, she’d have nothing left to repay such a loss!

”Ah! Mom! Auntie Qiu said this hairstyle looked good... If you don’t believe me, ask Brother Mo...” The little bundle retorted upon hearing this.

Gu Changsheng’s expression froze as she couldn’t help but look at Little Han Mo.

Little Han Mo’s facial expression, how to say it... kind of weird!

It was somewhat aggrieved and sullen, but when Gu Changsheng’s searching gaze came over, he resignedly nodded.

”How is that possible? You are Han Qiu’s core, would Han Qiu let you become a monk with open eyes? You must be joking!” Gu Changsheng said, almost refusing to believe it.

”It is true...” Although reluctant, Little Han Mo with the Black Face still nodded and spoke, ”My sister indeed said this hairstyle, looks pretty good... She also said you’d definitely like it.”

”I like it?” Gu Changsheng’s eyes widened at this, ”I like a ghost indeed!”

Han Qiu!

Which eye did she use to see I’d fall for this?

I’m about to explode here, seriously!

”Oh, ouch ouch! It hurts! My ear’s gonna fall off! Mom, mom, please let go, if you keep pulling I’m gonna turn into a one-eared deaf guy, then I’ll never find a pretty wife...”

Gu Changsheng, in a rush, inadvertently applied more force, and Little Bun immediately stood on tiptoe and started clamoring.

Seeing him genuinely suffering, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but ease her grip a bit, but she still didn’t let go, and with a face full of disappointment, she said, ”You’re still thinking of marrying a pretty wife? Didn’t Timo say you’d join the Buddhist sect with all worldly desires gone? You even shaved your head, the essential monk look is ready, and you still want to marry a wife! I’m telling you, you might as well have Little Monk Bu Jie give you the mark of monastic vows and completely convert to the Buddhist sect!”

”No, mom! I never really wanted to be a monk!”

”Then why did you shave your head if you didn’t want to be a monk? Just to annoy me?”

”...”

The mother and son were there, bickering away, while at the doorway of the guest room, Zhou Mu leisurely leaned against the door frame, watching the show!

Meanwhile, Shi Wujue returned at that moment, casting an unapproving look at the chaotic scene inside, raising an eyebrow with disapproval, ”I told you, monks, Taoists, they’re the most annoying, look how they’ve messed up the beauty’s son!”

He just didn’t like monks and Taoists!

And he didn’t like the fate and heavenly mandates they preached!

”It’s just that Xiao Gu Ze is being mischievous, you don’t know him, his nature is just like his mother’s, he acts on impulse! Who knows what madness struck him this time to do such a thing!” Zhou Mu shook his head upon hearing this, speaking in a helpless, doting tone, and chuckled to himself, ”Haha... But given Changsheng’s exacting standards for appearance, Xiao Gu Ze is bound to receive some cold stares for a while this time!”

”Really? I’ve long heard that the beauty loves beauties, all her attendants are top-notch in looks, could it be she’ll truly disregard her son for shaving his head?” Shi Wujue perked up at this, moving a bit closer to Zhou Mu, and asked in a low voice.

Zhou Mu chuckled helplessly at this, ”She and my little junior sister are both strict beauty enthusiasts, anything they find displeasing, they won’t hesitate to fuss over!”

Shi Wujue was instantly speechless, after a while, he touched his face and said, ”Tsk tsk... Zhou, do you think the same as me, grateful for having been born with a good appearance?”

”...” Zhou Mu looked over at Shi Wujue with a profound meaning.

Feeling a bit unnatural under his gaze, Shi Wujue turned, waved his sleeve, ”You continue watching the show here, I’m off to prepare for tonight’s banquet!”

”...Alright!” Zhou Mu was stunned for a moment, only responding softly after Shi Wujue had walked far away.

Grateful for having this appearance?

Indeed, as Shi Wujue said, he once detested his looks, covering his face with a mask to avoid seeing people’s mesmerized expressions upon seeing him. After all, for a man to look like this was truly not fitting for someone of his status as the Undefeated General!

But after meeting this little woman, he changed his mindset!

This woman of his truly loves beauty!

And she does so openly, with no room for criticism!

However...

Looking towards where Shi Wujue disappeared, Zhou Mu pondered slightly—is he thankful like me?

Thankful for being born with an appearance she can appreciate?

His Changsheng is so unique, indeed capable of making men bend to her will...

Zhou Mu understood, for people like him and Shi Wujue, pride was ingrained from birth, so saying it out loud would be desecration, and at this moment, what right did he have to speak?

In other words, he originally had the chance to openly pursue Changsheng, but he handed it over himself! That promise, Shi Wujue casually brought up and obliterated it!

A faint sense of crisis and helplessness hovered in Zhou Mu’s heart, yet seeing that bold, lively woman standing before him, Zhou Mu realized he was overthinking!

During that time in Secluded Valley, all he wished for was her safety!

Now, she’s safely standing in front of him, isn’t this the best outcome?

A greedy heart swallows everything whole, indeed, people are like this, unable to escape inherent flaws!

But this woman, how could he possibly let go?

She is his heart, his life, the only person he cares about in this lifetime!

”Gu Yaoyao, if I don’t discipline you for three days, you’d turn the world upside down. You really are a whirlwind; if you don’t tell me today why you don’t want to be a monk but went ahead to shave your head, I’ll find a Monk Temple and throw you in there! You can spend your life under the gaze of the Buddhas!”

Inside the room, Gu Changsheng looked at Little Bun and said furiously.

”No, mom! They say the Monk Temple has no meat! Without meat, how will I survive?”
