Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1404: Chapter 1057: Will You Bear Offspring for This City Lord?

Gu Changsheng didn’t suddenly have this suspicion out of nowhere; rather, she had always worried that Shi Wujue hadn’t truly recovered!

Vitality depletion!

Only by experiencing it firsthand can one understand the panicked helplessness when the vitality within the body gradually wanes and exhausts, as if abandoned by the world, leaving one powerless, only waiting for death to arrive!

Gu Changsheng didn’t believe in miracles in this world. In fact, she constantly wondered what method Shi Wujue had used to make the vanished vitality reappear in himself!

It’s simply going against the heavens!

As someone who has defied death three times, Gu Changsheng is extremely sensitive to the term ”going against the heavens”!

In this world, nothing comes without a cost!

So, what price did Shi Wujue pay to go against the heavens and regain vitality?

Gu Changsheng was puzzled!

”Heh heh... Beauty, you sure do think a lot!” Shi Wujue said upon hearing, his long and narrow eyes instantly narrowing, his pale face barely smiling, and in the next moment, his entire aura changed. The domineering aura that looked down upon the world reappeared on him, his face regaining a bit of color, long sleeves swirled as he reached out, standing confidently in front of Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, with a sinister grin, ”What kind of person do you think I, the City Lord, am? How could I be useless like you, Beauty? Since I have the ability to restore vitality for you, naturally, I have a way to save my own life! How could I not have truly recovered?”

”Then you...” Gu Changsheng was taken aback, a flash of uncertainty in her eyes, pointing at Shi Wujue, her mouth twitching slightly, ”Then why was your face so pale just now?”

Damn it, why look down on her so much?

Going against the heavens, suffering backlash, vitality depletion, and she’s the useless one?

Ha!

Well, it turns out she really is quite useless!

However, her uselessness is normal! Do you think everyone is as defiant of the heavens as Shi Wujue?

”I said it, the City Lord just overexerted himself!” Shi Wujue retorted with a sinister smile, holding up a finger to point at the surrounding mountain ranges, speaking in a deep voice, ”Do you see these mountains? They are the encircling mountains outside Linyuan City. Linyuan City takes the whole city as a formation, laying down the Evil Gathering Formation, and these surrounding mountains are where the formation is set!”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu couldn’t help but turn their heads to look around!

It’s a panorama of crumbling peaks, not soaring to great heights, but indeed a ring of mountains surrounding, guarding Linyuan City!

”Beauty, I’ve told you before, the Heaven Deceiving Hall is the array’s eye of this Evil Gathering Formation, and the reason it can hide from the Heavenly Knight and not let the gathered evil energy leak is all thanks to the suppression of Divine Tears, but now...” Shi Wujue continued, raising an eyebrow at Zhou Mu, ”Now, the Spiritual Treasure Divine Tears has been entirely consumed by this Zhou brat, and there is no longer any supreme treasure to gather the evil energy. Heaven Deceiving Hall can no longer prevent the evil energy from leaking! Ten Miles Peach Grove’s Life Formation has been destroyed, the Divine Tears lost, the excess will overflow, and there’s no need for Linyuan City’s Evil Gathering Formation to continue existing!”

”So what?” Gu Changsheng asked, her face full of uncertainty.

To be honest, her evildoer could safely reach the Conquest Realm all thanks to Divine Tears, and this, Gu Changsheng still feels guilty about to this day.

Now hearing Shi Wujue say this, her sense of guilt increased even more!

Could it be, it’s because he lost Divine Tears that he’s like this?

”Therefore, to prevent Linyuan City from being backlashed by the evil energy, I, the City Lord, had to destroy my ancestral heritage to dismantle this Evil Gathering Formation!” Spreading his hands, Shi Wujue raised an eyebrow, speaking casually, ”How about it? I, the City Lord, am quite a competent City Lord, right? For the lives of this entire city, I’ve sacrificed everything! Tsk tsk... I’m even moved by my own actions! I, the City Lord, am truly wise and brave! I’m a model of self-sacrifice! Beauty, look, I wore myself out to the bone to destroy this Evil Gathering Formation, but I’m doing it to save the entire city’s populace! How about it? Beauty, aren’t you moved by my noble spirit? Have you fallen in love with the City Lord? Hahaha...”

”You...” Gu Changsheng heard this and found herself speechless.

This man!

This man!

What should she say?

This Linyuan City, isn’t it originally his Linyuan City?

How can he make it seem like such a grand favor to protect this city?

”As if it’s real! You’re noble-spirited! You’re wise and brave! If you’re so capable, don’t protect Linyuan City! I think without Linyuan City, you’d really end up begging at my Heavenly Palace!” Snorting, Gu Changsheng retorted unhappily.

It’s not that she wanted to go against Shi Wujue but she simply couldn’t stand Shi Wujue’s carefree attitude!

Also, his arrogant and ambiguous tone was driving her crazy!

”Oh my! Beauty, when you put it that way, I feel like I’ve made a misstep! What a great chance to latch onto you, and I’ve completely missed it! No, no! I need to check if there’s a chance to repair this Evil Gathering Formation. If Linyuan City really ceases to exist, wouldn’t I have a great excuse to cling to you all?” Shi Wujue said with a wicked smile, raising an eyebrow at Zhou Mu as he spoke.

Zhou Mu heard that and smiled helplessly.

Gu Changsheng was even more speechless.

This Shi Wujue is simply too much!

Constantly teasing her and Zhou Mu with such a mischievous tone, if they took him seriously, they would seem petty!

Not taking him seriously is a must, but every time they heard his words, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu felt at a loss for how to respond!

This feeling, like knowing the truth yet someone insists on turning the truth into a lie, and saying it so openly and righteously, what could they do?

They could only listen and awkwardly smile...

”Alright, I’m too lazy to toy with you now! I’m a very busy person, not like you, idle all day just flirting around! I’ve somehow become the stick that separates lovers, and I’m in a good mood, off to do other things! You carry on, don’t worry, the Evil Gathering Formation is gone, the mountain won’t shake again! It’s a dark and windy night, perfect for romance! You continue... continue...” Shi Wujue spoke, then turned to leave.

Gu Changsheng didn’t notice the instant Shi Wujue turned, his lips quickly became pale and bloodless!

”Shi Wujue!”

Seeing Shi Wujue about to leave, Gu Changsheng stepped forward anxiously and called out.

”Hmm?”

His steps paused slightly, but Shi Wujue did not turn around, leaving only the floating white-haired silhouette to Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu.

”Shi Wujue, I’ve always wanted to ask you, why was the Evil Gathering Formation set up in Linyuan City? What significance does the array’s eye Heaven Deceiving Hall hold for your Shi Family? Now, the Evil Gathering Formation is gone because of me and Zhou Mu, and the Heaven Deceiving Hall is virtually obsolete, what impact does that have on you?” Gu Changsheng asked, a series of questions spilled out as she looked at Shi Wujue’s back.

These questions had lingered in Gu Changsheng’s heart for a long time!

She always wanted to find a chance to ask Shi Wujue but didn’t know how, since this matter concerns the secrets of the Shi Family, right? If she asked, it might seem like she was prying into another family’s privacy.

But now, things were different!

It was she who let Shi Wujue forcibly open the Heaven Deceiving Hall!

Why did the Ten Miles Peach Grove wither overnight, even if Gu Changsheng didn’t know the exact details, she vaguely understood Shi Wujue must have borrowed the power of the Peach Grove to restore vitality, and Shi Wujue lost vitality because of her. So, speaking of which, as the Life Formation of the Evil Gathering Formation was destroyed, the root cause was herself!

And the Heaven Deceiving Hall lost its Supreme Treasure Divine Tears, obviously because of her and Zhou Mu!

Thus, it was she who caused Shi Wujue to have no choice but to act, destroying the Evil Gathering Formation in Linyuan City!

Considering using a whole city as a formation, what a mighty feat, requiring much effort, Gu Changsheng didn’t know, she only knew Linyuan City had long gathered the world’s ruthless and ferocious characters, not a matter of a day or two, so this Evil Gathering Formation of Linyuan City must have existed for a long time!

And now, because of her, it Was destroyed in an instant!

Heaven Deceiving Hall is located in the most secret place of the City Lord’s Mansion, surrounded by guards, she had heard from Shi Wei about the importance of Heaven Deceiving Hall, so now she wants to ask, without the Evil Gathering Formation, Heaven Deceiving Hall virtually obsolete, how does it affect Shi Wujue?

She has already owed Shi Wujue a lot, really doesn’t want to owe more!

”Without Heaven Deceiving Hall, how does it affect this City Lord...” Shi Wujue, facing away from Gu Changsheng, pondered for a long time before muttering in a low voice...

Gu Changsheng heard it, her heart tightened, she couldn’t help but step forward.

Even Zhou Mu, with a furrowed brow, followed, thinking deeply. Regarding Shi Wujue, Zhou Mu’s feelings were complex, but, undeniably, Shi Wujue, in Zhou Mu’s heart, is the only peer who can be both rival and friend!

He once regarded him as a confidant!

Now, even if both he and Shi Wujue liked Changsheng, Zhou Mu had to admit, he couldn’t view this equally proud man as an enemy!

”Beauty, if I, this City Lord, say that without Heaven Deceiving Hall, our Shi Family cannot continue to have offspring, leading to the end of our bloodline, no future...” In Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu’s worried gaze, Shi Wujue slightly turned his head, the white hair fluttered, covering his pale lips, eyebrows slightly raised, as in the past, with a wickedly arrogant smile, he gave a low laugh and looked at Gu Changsheng, smilingly said, ”Would you for gratitude, give birth to a baby for this City Lord?”
