Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1405: Chapter 1058: Her Heart Was Moved, Yet She Endured!

”...”

Gu Changsheng was instantly struck dumb, inside and out, by the sheer absurdity of it all! She was at a loss for words!

What did they mean by her giving him children?

Was this something an ancient person should even say?

Her mouth twitched slightly, and Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but mentally replay her every word and deed since moving into the City Lord’s Mansion. Was it her spontaneous behavior that introduced such modern slang?

Was it?

The answer...seemed like it was indeed!

Inwardly, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but berate herself fiercely!

She raised her hand, wanting to slap herself a couple of times, for wagging her tongue so carelessly. Great, her thoughtless words had reached Shi Wujue’s ears, hadn’t they?

And now, he had gone and said it in front of her evildoer. How was she supposed to react for it to be considered normal?

Gu Changsheng’s expression was quite a spectacle, utterly beautiful in its awkwardness, as if she had swallowed a few flies. Her cheeks stiffened, and her mouth opened and closed a few times, but not a single word popped out!

”Haha...”

Shi Wujue, as if he hadn’t expected a response from Gu Changsheng in the first place, laughed heartily twice, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a shadow and vanished from the view of Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu...

”He... I...” Gu Changsheng pointed in the direction Shi Wujue had left, looking blankly at Zhou Mu standing beside her, her expression embarrassed.

Should she say something?

What could she say to ease the almost charcoal-black look on her evildoer’s face?

It seemed that at times like these, explaining was akin to hiding, hiding was accepting as truth; whatever she said might make things worse, but if she said nothing, wouldn’t her evildoer misunderstand?

After all, she had spent quite some time in Shi Wujue’s inner courtyard, and for an initial stretch, it was just the two of them!

A single man and woman in a room together, that was a major taboo in ancient times. If she were a man, she wouldn’t help but overthink it either. This was why Gu Changsheng had forgiven Zhou Mu’s earlier hesitations, because humans are not saints, they have emotions, and if language is what elevates primates above other animals, then thought is their highest virtue!

Zhou Mu’s expression was dark, almost dripping ink, his gaze as deep as a cold pool rested where Shi Wujue had departed. Unseen by Gu Changsheng, under the cover of his sleeve, his hand slowly clenched, and his eyes flickered with contemplative intent...

Gu Changsheng couldn’t tell, because she hadn’t crossed that threshold yet, but he could see...

A transformation in the Conquest Realm, Zhou Mu was an exceptionally brilliant figure and even more so now, not someone to be underestimated. Shi Wujue hid it well, but at the moment of his departure, Zhou Mu clearly saw a barely perceptible stumble...

A master in the Primordial Transformative Realm, yet unsteady at a crucial moment, what did that indicate?

It could only mean that Shi Wujue’s martial physique was damaged, damaged to the extent that despite his efforts, he could not fully conceal it!

This gave Zhou Mu a sudden ominous feeling...

”Evildoer, don’t listen to Shi Wujue’s nonsense. He’s just like that, causing trouble where there is none, trying to bother others. Don’t take it to heart, I’ve never said I wanted to have children with him...” Gu Changsheng saw that Zhou Mu’s expression hadn’t lightened a bit, thought for a moment, hesitated, and then began to speak.

”Hmm?” Zhou Mu seemed thoughtful, and upon hearing her words, instinctively responded.

Gu Changsheng’s face darkened. Great, now he was mad? Jealous? Didn’t even bother acknowledging her?

She scratched her head. Whom did she provoke?

She had just said hello to an acquaintance halfway up the mountain. Who knew it would get so messy?

If she had known, even an earthquake wouldn’t have made her glance, and she certainly wouldn’t have gone looking for trouble with Shi Wujue!

For someone like Shi Wujue, enigmatic and unpredictable, what trouble could he have? Usually, when running into Shi Wujue, others have issues. He’s just there to coolly fan the flames, like he is now, dropping a few ambiguous words and leaving without a care, leaving her to deal with the fallout!

Gu Changsheng really wanted to shout after Shi Wujue, asking him to take her evildoer with him when he left, better that than leaving her here awkwardly facing the music!
