The Miracle Doctor's Two-Faced Toddler

Chapter 233: Mighty Little Gu King

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

That was a Gu worm that they had spent a lot of effort to nurture, but it actually ran away just like that?!

The Gu Master suspected that he was seeing things, but when he saw that everyone in the room looked like they had been struck by lightning, the Gu Master knew that he was not seeing things.

But wasn’t this too strange? He had lived for more than half his life, but such a thing had never happened. Could it be that he had judged wrongly and that girl wasn’t the blood of Extreme Yin?

No, even ordinary blood was an extreme temptation to Gu worms. Unless it wasn’t blood he dripped into the bowl.

The Gu Master took a closer look. It was blood!

The Gu Master’s first reaction was, Could it be that this girl was also a Gu Lady? And one who was stronger than his male disciple? Otherwise, why didn’t the Gu worm suck her blood?

But soon, the Gu Master denied this guess.

Gu Lady was not something that could be found on the streets. There were very few Gu Lady in Southern Xinjiang where Gu techniques were rampant. How could it be in the Central Plains?

In Southern Xinjiang, there were male and female Gu Masters, but female Gu Masters could not be called Gu Lady. Gu Masters used methods to tame and raise Gu, but Gu Ladies nurtured Gu with their bodies. The same Gu worm could play a greater role in the hands of Gu Ladies, but not everyone could become a Gu Lady. This also required talent and opportunities. Most importantly, they had to meet a powerful Gu Master. Otherwise, no one could guarantee that the Gu Lady would not die under the poison of the Gu worm.

Was there a Gu Master in the Central Plains? That was impossible, so there was definitely no Gu Lady.

He realized that ever since he entered the village, the Gu worms had been acting strangely. Perhaps they were really not used to the environment? Or perhaps he had eaten too much stinky tofu and had stinked the Gu worms to death?

While the Gu Master was puzzled, his male disciple entered the room with a strange expression. He muttered something in his ear and said to everyone, “I have something on. I’ll go deal with it first.”

He and the male disciple went to the backyard. He frowned and looked at the male disciple. “Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

The male disciple nodded solemnly. “Yes, Master, I really saw another Gu Master!”

Just like how experts could sense each other’s martial arts and Internal Breath, Gu Masters could also easily recognize their peers. The male disciple had been a disciple of Gu Master for three years, so he should have this judgment.

In fact, not only did the male disciple discover Ah Wei, but Ah Wei also discovered them.

“Grandma, there’s a Gu Master,” Ah Wei said to the old man in the Zhao family’s residence.

The old man replied indifferently, “He’s just here to treat that young man. There’s no need to pay attention to him. Don’t complicate matters.”

The Gu Master narrowed his eyes. “So there’s another Gu Master. The reaction of that Gu worm is barely reasonable.”

In the Southern Xinjiang, there was usually only one Gu Master in a place. This was to prevent competition and also to prevent each other’s Gu worms from affecting each other.

The male disciple asked strangely, “Master, why is there another Gu Master here? It seems that the Xiao family doesn’t know.” Otherwise, they wouldn’t have infiltrated Southern Xinjiang to look for a Gu Master.

The Gu Master smiled faintly. “We’re just here to earn money. Don’t meddle in other people’s business. If others don’t offend us, I won’t offend them. As long as he doesn’t snatch our business, what does it have to do with us if he goes to commit murder and arson?”

Since the Hundred Gu King was useless, the Gu Master decided to try the Gu Lady’s Golden Silkworm Gu.

“What? Using my Golden Silkworm Gu?” The Gu Lady was unhappy. The Golden Silkworm Gu was the most powerful Gu King she had ever had. The one that ran away just now was also a Gu King, but it was far inferior to hers. Otherwise, she would not have the guts to catch it with her bare hands. She had seen her master use a Gu worm to save people, and she knew he would have to sacrifice this Gu worm.

The Gu Master patted her shoulder and said, “When I earn this gold, I’ll find you an even more powerful Gu King.”

Gu Lady said unhappily, “There’s no Gu King more powerful than the Golden Silkworm Gu, unless Master finds me a Thousand Gu King!”

A Thousand-Thousand Gu King? The Gu Master swallowed his saliva. No one could refine that strange Gu worm anymore, okay? Where could he find it?

The Gu Master smiled embarrassedly and patiently coaxed, “Yes, yes. At most, I’ll find another Golden Silkworm Gu for you and refine it into something stronger than the one in your hand!”

Gu Lady was still a little unwilling. She had raised a butterfly Gu earlier, and the butterfly Gu was also a very powerful Gu King. However, in the end, it was defeated by the Golden Silkworm Gu. Back then, she had almost died under the poison of the Golden Silkworm Gu. How could she hand over the Golden Silkworm Gu that she had obtained with such difficulty?

Seeing that soft tactics did not work, the Gu Master’s face darkened and he said firmly, “You have to agree no matter what. In short, I want your Golden Silkworm Gu!”

Gu Lady was so angry that she slammed the door and returned to her room.

“Master, Junior Sister…” The male disciple looked in the direction of the door worriedly.

The Gu Master waved his hand and said, “Ignore her. Let her think carefully. Is a Golden Silkworm Gu more important or a hundred thousand taels of gold?”

The Golden Silkworm Gu was rare, but it was not impossible to obtain. He believed that as long as he offered a high enough price, someone would definitely be willing to sell it to them.

“Where’s my stinky tofu?” The Gu Master went to the kitchen to look for food.

The male disciple sighed helplessly and went to the Gu Lady’s room after his master left.

“Little Junior Sister.”

There was no lamp in the room. He called out softly, took out a match, and lit the oil lamp on the table. The light was dim, and Gu Lady was lying on her side on the cold bed with her back facing him.

“Junior Sister, don’t be angry,” the male disciple said. “Master will find you another Golden Silkworm Gu.”

“No way!” Gu Lady said angrily.

The male disciple said earnestly, “You know Master’s temper. He won’t change his mind easily.”

“Then I’ll leave!” Gu Lady said angrily.

The male disciple said, “Where can you go? If Master moves his finger, you’ll die from the poison.”

If a Gu Master didn’t have any ability, how could he casually take in disciples? Their lives were in the hands of the Gu Master, so defecting was absolutely not advisable. Of course, he also understood that his junior sister was just saying it out of anger. After all, other than tonight, his master had always treated her extremely well. Her arrogant personality was all because of his master’s spoiling.

The male disciple continued, “Can’t you just treat it as a repayment to Master? Anyway, Master found this Golden Silkworm Gu for you.”

Gu Lady sat up. “If he gives it to me, it’s mine!”

Gu Lady had a powerful Gu worm. It was like an expert having a suitable weapon. She could not bear to lose it no matter what.

The male disciple sighed. “But there’s nothing we can do. We’ve already taken the deposit. We can’t not treat him.”

“Hmph!” Gu Lady was so angry that she lay back on the bed and pulled the blanket over her head.

The male disciple sighed and left. He worried like a father despite taking the monthly salary of a disciple.

Late at night, Gu Lady tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Compared to Gu techniques, she was inferior to her master, but there were some things that her master was inferior to her.

Perhaps her master did not know that she had already poisoned that village girl at the village entrance. The village girl thought that if she held her hand, she would not be able to use the Gu worm. However, she did not know that she was the Gu Lady. She could use the Gu worm in the bottle with her true qi.

However, those Gu worms did not move.

At first, she did not take it to heart and only thought that she had performed poorly. However, after that, there was the matter of the Hundred Gu King escaping. She felt that perhaps it was not a simple coincidence.

In the dead of night, everyone fell asleep.

Gu Lady took out the bowl hidden under the bed. There were two drops of dried blood in this bowl. It was Yu Wan’s. The Gu Master asked Gu Lady to wash the bowl. Gu Lady was careful and secretly hid it.

She went to the kitchen to get hot water and poured it into a bowl. The blood melted. She picked up the bowl and took a small sip. This small sip made her roll on the ground in pain.

“As expected… You’re indeed the Gu Lady…” And it was a Gu Lady who was even more powerful than her! There was a Gu King in her body that was stronger than the Golden Silkworm Gu!

“The heavens are really helping me. As long as I obtain your Gu King, I don’t care about the Golden Silkworm Gu!”

Gu Lady’s eyes lit up. She was even more excited than when she first saw the Golden Silkworm Gu. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled as she stood up.

Back then, when she subdued the Golden Silkworm Gu, it still almost killed her even with her master’s help. This time, she faced the even stronger Gu King alone, so she could not let her guard down. Fortunately, she did not learn the Gu technique for nothing these few years. She was confident that she could obtain the other party’s Gu King!

Gu worms did not like iron, wine, and ai leaves. These things could be used to restrain it. Of course, they had to lure it out first. That village girl had the blood of extreme yin, the blood that Gu worms loved the most. Her blood probably could not lure out the Gu worm, but don’t forget, she had a Golden Silkworm Gu in her body. This was also a rare temptation for the Gu King.

She would first use the Golden Silkworm Gu to lure the Gu King out. Then, she would capture the Gu King before it ate her Golden Silkworm Gu!

Gu Lady executed her plan as she planned. She took what she needed and sneaked into the next room.

Yu Wan had left the three little lads in Yan Jiuchao’s room for the past few days. Yu Wan slept alone on the simple bed.

Gu Lady first took out a handkerchief and covered Yu Wan’s mouth and nose. She drugged Yu Wan with quite a lot of knockout medicine. After confirming that Yu Wan would not wake up because of any commotion, she put away the handkerchief and forced out the Gu worm in her body.

She let the Golden Silkworm Gu release its aura. At this distance, it was enough to sense the other party’s Gu King.

Gu Lady put on her silver silk gloves and took out her silver silk net, ready to capture the Gu King at any time.

Gu Lady’s heart was in her throat. However, after being nervous for half a day, the other party’s Gu King did not react at all!

How could this be? Was she wrong? There was actually no Gu King in this village girl’s body? That was impossible. She was the Gu Lady. Her senses could not be wrong.

However, why didn’t it come out and eat away at her Golden Silkworm Gu? Gu worms were ferocious by nature. The stronger the opponent, the more they wanted to eat away at it. Her Golden Silkworm Gu was the King of Gu Kings, so it should have a fatal temptation to that Gu. How could it not have any reaction? Could it be that it was actually not stronger than the Golden Silkworm Gu, so it didn’t dare to come out? Or could it be that it was asleep and didn’t sense the aura of the Golden Silkworm Gu?

Gu Lady tried a few more times. Just as she was about to give up, there was finally a reaction.

A white light flashed, unbelievably fast. Before Gu Lady could understand what had happened, she felt her hand lighten. In the next second, she saw her Golden Silkworm Gu being ruthlessly thrown to the ground. A small worm stepped on the Golden Silkworm Gu’s head domineeringly till it exploded!

A sentence inexplicably flashed across Gu Lady’s mind—Damn it! Who wants to eat this lousy thing!

Everything happened too quickly. By the time Gu Lady came back to her senses, the white light had already flashed back into Yu Wan’s body, and her Golden Silkworm Gu’s head had exploded, completely turning into a pile of meat paste.

What did it mean to suffer a double loss? This was it.

Gu Lady returned to the room crying. That was the Golden Silkworm Gu that she had raised for an entire year. It was actually gone just like that. She was so sad!

The next day, the Gu Master woke up early. He first went to the kitchen to find something to eat. When he was full, he smacked his lips and woke Gu Lady up.

In fact, Gu Lady had been awake the entire time. As long as she thought of the Golden Silkworm Gu that had been destroyed for nothing, she would feel so much pain that her intestines would knot.

However, she did not dare to tell the Gu Master that she had acted on her own. She had discovered a more powerful Gu worm, but she did not offer it to her master first. Instead, she wanted to take it for herself. This seriously violated their sect’s rules. If the Gu Master found out, he would definitely not forgive her easily.

“Dead,” she whispered.

The Gu Master was stunned. “Dead? How did it die?”

Gu Lady lied. “I don’t know. I suddenly felt uncomfortable in the middle of the night. When I woke up in the morning, the Golden Silkworm Gu was dead.”

“There’s actually such a strange thing…” The Gu Master frowned deeply and did not doubt Gu Lady’s words. After all, ever since they came to the village, their Gu worms had been in a lot of situations. A Gu King had already escaped, so it did not seem impossible for another Golden Silkworm Gu to die.

However… This was the Golden Silkworm Gu. Who could easily kill it?

“Could it be another Gu Master?”

Other than this, the Gu Master could not think of any other possibility. It could not be that an even more powerful Gu King had appeared here and trampled the Golden Silkworm Gu to death. How powerful was the Gu King? Was it the Thousand Gu King?

Chi ~

The Gu Master shook his head. That was impossible. Therefore, it was that Gu Master. The other party should be warning them to leave his territory as soon as possible.

“To be able to kill the Golden Silkworm Gu, his strength is probably not inferior to mine. There’s no need to fight until both sides are injured.” There was no need to let the Xiao family know that there was another Gu Master beside them. If Xiao Zhenting turned around and made a deal with him, and the other party offered a cheaper price, then his hundred thousand taels of gold might not be able to be saved.

The Gu Master touched his thick… uh, sparse hair and narrowed his eyes. “I have to end this quickly. It seems that there’s only one last way!”

… .

“What? You want my son and your disciple…” In front of Yan Jiuchao’s bed, Shangguan Yan looked at the Gu Master in disbelief. No matter how thick her skin was, it was difficult for her to say that.

The Gu Master cleared his throat and looked at her, then at Xiao Zhenting, who was guarding her. He said seriously, “This is a decision I made after careful consideration. Your son’s poison curse is too difficult to resolve. It’s not enough to rely on Gu worms alone. You have to use Gu Lady as a cauldron to lure out the poison in his body. Do you think I’m willing to do this? My disciple’s sacrifice is very great! When that kind of poison curse enters my disciple’s body, I don’t know how many Gu worms I have to use to let her recover!”

The Gu Master’s words were not completely deceiving Shangguan Yan. The harmony of Yin and Yang was indeed a good method. It was not used like this at the beginning because he did not want to sacrifice the Gu Lady’s innocence unless he had no other choice.

But wasn’t there nothing they could do now? It was not good to tell them the truth. The Gu King had died out, so there was no way but this to slowly lure poison for Yan Jiuchao!

Shangguan Yan did not mind her son doting on another woman, but her son was unconscious now. Could they still have sex?

“Leave this to me!” The Gu Master’s gaze swept across Yan Jiuchao’s lower abdomen. “I have a way to make him do it!”

Shangguan Yan understood that her son would definitely not be happy about this, but as his mother, she could not let go of any chance to save him, even if he would blame her and complain to her when he woke up, or even ignore her from then on.

As long as he was alive, she would have no regrets even if she died.

“Then… I’ll leave it to you.” Shangguan Yan bowed.

The Gu Master went to prepare the herbs, and Shangguan Yan also left the room. Just as she reached the door, she bumped into Yu Wan, who was carrying dumplings.

Yu Wan stood there with her usual expression, but the soup from the dumplings was scattered all over the ground.

Shangguan Yan took a deep breath. “You heard everything?”

“Yes, I heard you,” Yu Wan said softly.

Shangguan Yan sighed. “Then you must feel terrible.”

Yu Wan did not say anything.

Shangguan Yan continued, “I understand that you feel uncomfortable, but there’s nothing we can do about it. I hope you don’t distance yourself from Cong’er because of this.”

Yu Wan paused. “Is… this the only way?”

Shangguan Yan nodded. “Yes, that’s the only way.”

“I understand.” Yu Wan placed the dumplings on the table and left without a word.
