Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

The two kneeling members of the Dark Night Army hesitated upon hearing the words. In their eyes, a trace of heartache flashed. They lowered their heads, responded with a sound, and still chose to obey orders!

Although they also didn’t remember what happened that day, the current situation of their two masters was crystal clear, and they had roughly guessed what had transpired!

They were unwilling to believe it, but reality was ruthlessly cruel!

Their masters had fallen into demonic ways!

The blood-red baleful aura surrounding them and the faintly flickering black flame between their brows were all signs of demonization!

The two Dark Night Army personnel left, and Borjigin Nian, looking at Yue Xilou, suddenly fell silent. After a while, he finally spoke softly with a bit of heartache, ”Is it because they have fallen into demonic ways that you want to use the Cold Iron Chains to lock them up?”

”...” Yue Xilou remained silent, not responding.

”Yue Xilou, if they really can’t wake up, are you planning to find a cliff to imprison them forever?” Borjigin Nian didn’t care about Yue Xilou’s silence, shook his head, and continued, ”Yue Xilou, although I know you are doing the right thing! To prevent unforeseen disasters, to prevent them waking up and causing chaos again. But... even if I understand, I can’t forgive you...”

With that, Borjigin Nian turned around and walked out.

They and Gu Changsheng, had relied on each other all along the journey, like family, even better than family.

To add shackles to one’s family, how cruel can that be!

She, Borjigin Nian, could not do it!

Even though she knew that Yue Xilou was acting correctly, she just couldn’t let go...

The Dark Night Army acted quickly. The Thousand-Year Cold Iron was hard to find, but they managed to find it. The iron was hard to melt and even harder to forge, but there were always master craftsmen who could accomplish what ordinary people couldn’t!

When the Cold Iron Chains were finally forged and delivered to Yue Xilou, two days had passed. His face, more beautiful than demons, was full of contemplation, but ultimately, he steeled himself and walked toward the bed where Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu lay...

”Peacock, Lion, and Tiger, what are you doing?” Little Meat Bun, guarding his mother, saw his master carrying a heap of dark iron chains over. His eyes widened in disbelief as he asked.

”Step aside. This time, let the Tower Master take care of your mother and Uncle Wood!” Seeing his little student, Yue Xilou’s expression softened a bit, hiding the heartache in his eyes, he spoke to him.

”No!” But upon hearing this, Little Meat Bun shook his head in refusal, without even a moment’s hesitation, spreading his small arms to block the window with a serious face, he said, ”Peacock, Lion, and Tiger, don’t think I don’t know, you brought those chains to tie up my mother and Uncle Wood? Just like tying up Any Tom, Dick, or Harry?”

”...” Yue Xilou, upon hearing this, showed a helpless expression on his face, more beautiful than demons.

He had underestimated his little student, who was so clever. The chains were so obvious, how could he not understand?

”Peacock, Lion, and Tiger, never! As long as Yaoyao is here, no one should think of tying up my mother or Uncle Wood! No one can, not even Lion Tiger! You leave, you leave! Yaoyao doesn’t want to see you! Yaoyao will take care of mother himself!” Upon seeing his master’s silence, Little Meat Bun immediately understood that his guess was correct!

His master really had the heart to tie up his mother and Wood Uncle!

Using those black iron chains as thick as a child’s arm!

Those chains were terrifying, they looked so heavy, and emanated a chilling aura, quite frightening!

For the person being tied, how uncomfortable must that be!

Little Meat Bun, just thinking about the chains being tied on his mother, refused immediately!

No! No! Absolutely not!

His mother loved being comfortable, why would she ever agree to be tied up?

”Yaoyao!” Yue Xilou, seeing Little Meat Bun’s look of rejection, immediately reprimanded in a deep voice, ”Have you forgotten the day on the arena when you were strangled by your young mother?”

Upon hearing this, Little Meat Bun’s round eyes tightened immediately.

”Yaoyao, heed your master’s words, don’t forget the pain once healed. Your mother, even if she wakes up, may not be your mother anymore...” As he spoke, Yue Xilou closed his eyes harshly and continued slowly, ”Once you enter the Path of the Demon, it’s as deep as the sea, and from then on, even the closest become strangers. Yaoyao, your mother hurt you because she no longer remembers who you are...”

”I’m willing!” But before Yue Xilou could finish, Little Meat Bun firmly interrupted him, nodding his little head, and under Yue Xilou’s puzzled gaze, he clenched his small fists and said, ”But I am willing! I am willing for my mother to strangle me. Even if my mother hurts me and doesn’t remember me, she’s still my mother! Lion Tiger, I won’t let you tie up my mother. Even if my mother wakes up and continues to go mad, and still doesn’t remember me, I won’t let you tie up my mother!”

”Yaoyao! Don’t cause harm to others! Be good, let the master tie them up!”

”No! If you tie them, then tie me up too! I want to be with my mother!”

”Yaoyao, don’t be stubborn!”

”Stubborn! Stubborn! Lion Tiger is bad! I don’t want Lion Tiger! I only want my mother!”

”You!”

”...”

The contest between Little Bun and Yue Xilou, predictably, was one where the cunning surpasses the tall, as Yue Xilou’s age was evident and he had ways to deal with Little Bun!

Thus, after Little Monk Bu Jie, who had been greatly weakened after displaying his prowess in the arena, had rested for a few days and emerged, he, followed by a clingy Manman Bug, headed to the guest room where Gu Changsheng resided...

Before they even reached the guest room door, they heard gasping cries from within...

”Snotty child?”

Manman Bug’s Holy Golden shadow hung at the door, and after a brief moment of listening, it made a judgment and said in a deep voice.

”Waaah... Mother... Let go of my mother... Waaah...”

The cries of Little Bun came through again, and this time, his words made Little Monk Bu Jie and Manman Bug outside pause in surprise, and both felt a bad premonition. Could it be that Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu were in trouble?

”Bang!”

Thus, neither dared to hesitate, and with a loud bang, they kicked open the tightly closed door...

”Thud!”

As the door was kicked open, a round bundle was struck by the door and rolled inside...

The gaze of Little Monk Bu Jie and Manman Bug, filled with uncertainty, followed the rolling bundle, moving again and again, and then...

They unanimously moved toward the round bundle...

”Snotty child, what are you doing by the door? And why have you tied yourself up like a zongzi?” Manman Bug asked gleefully at the dizzy, finally halted Little Bun, completely forgetting why they had kicked the door in.

”It wasn’t me who tied myself, it was my Lion Tiger! Waaah, I don’t want Lion Tiger anymore! Manman, you go save my mother...” The moment Little Bun saw that it was Manman Bug and Little Monk Bu Jie who arrived, he cried even harder, as if he had suffered a great grievance.

Hearing Little Bun’s words, Manman Bug and Little Monk Bu Jie exchanged glances, then left the zongzi-like tied-up Little Bun on the ground and, in unison, walked towards the inner chamber...

As the curtain to the inner chamber was lifted, the two saw the bed full of the overwhelming Cold Iron Shackles, with two people tightly bound in the mess of chains...

The serene little face of Little Monk Bu Jie fell into disarray!

The small bug face of Manman Bug also fell into disarray!

”Who? Who did this good deed?”

After a long while, Manman Bug trembled a small bug claw, pointed at the intricately tied Cold Iron Chains, and demanded loudly with twitching bug lips...

”My Lion Tiger! My Lion Tiger did it! Manman, quickly save my mother...”

Tied up round like a zongzi, Little Bun finally rolled to the door of the inner chamber. Hearing Manman Bug’s words, he immediately cried out to report.

From Manman Bug’s tone, it seemed very excited. It should be willing to help!

Thinking this, Little Bun, bound like a zongzi bundle, felt relieved at once.

But just as he eased his mind, Manman Bug’s Holy Golden bug shadow shook its head, patted its bug leg, and excitedly said, ”Your master? That vain human Yue Xilou?”

”Yes, yes!”

Little Bun nodded upon hearing this.

”Well done! That vain human! He didn’t waste the drop of Essence Blood I gave him for healing, just for tying up that annoying Gu Changsheng so beautifully. I’ve decided not to go after him for debt!” Patted its bug leg again, the small form of Manman Bug laughed back and forth in delight, ”Haha! Gu Changsheng, oh Gu Changsheng, today is your day! Real deal Thousand-Year Cold Iron Shackles! I can’t wait to see your reaction when you wake up and find yourself tied up like a zongzi! Haha... finally vented my anger! Tied so well, tied so brilliantly, tied so satisfyingly! Haha...”

”Gah?” Meanwhile, Little Bun stared, dumbfounded on the ground, at the laughing Manman Bug.

What about the promised help?

Why is there only schadenfreude, with no one willing to help?

Waaah...

Being tied up like a zongzi was very uncomfortable, and his little arms and legs were going numb!

Indeed, Yue Xilou had some tenderness for his disciple, as the reason Little Bun was tied so neatly was because Yue Xilou used a quilt to tie him...

All bundled up like that, it really did look like a zongzi!

And Little Monk Bu Jie, with one hand spinning his Buddha Beads, glanced around and saw the entire family, big and small, and realized no one was spared—they were all tied up...
