Chapter 28: Is it not fragrant?
As a private item belonging only to Gu Yu, any outsiders or objects entering the space would remain in a state of frozen stillness.
This included the spirits that Gu Yu had taken into the space.
Looking at the spirit in front of him at close range, Gu Yu couldn’t help but marvel, thinking how strange it was that Linfeng Kingdom could have such a creature!
He thought that if he were to use it for some alien movie, he wouldn’t even need props…
With these thoughts, Gu Yu didn’t stand idle. Instead, he directly picked up a specially made small knife and quickly approached the spirit.
With a flick of his wrist and a swift cut, a piece of flesh was severed from the spirit.
He didn’t know if it was because he had practiced on Xi Yang’s wound, but Gu Yu felt extremely proficient at cutting flesh now.
After placing the cut flesh into bottles and jars, Gu Yu then proceeded to cut flesh from different parts of the spirit, and also collected a considerable amount of pale blue blood.
If he wasn’t afraid of killing the spirit, Gu Yu would have wanted more flesh and blood!
But now, he had both flesh and blood.
He still needed its bones.
With these thoughts, Gu Yu shifted his gaze to the spirit’s lower body, and then his hand moved again with the knife…
After gathering everything he wanted, Gu Yu finally let go of the pitiful spirit. He then applied some hemostatic powder to it before exiting the space to check on Xi Yang’s situation.
The purpose of coming here this time was not because he was thinking about the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice. It was because those people from the Tang Sect had used information about Gu Qingheng and Xi Yang to trick Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao into rushing over from Lian Town.
The reason for doing this was simply for the medicinal powder that Gu Yu had prepared.
After all, anyone who had witnessed the powerful efficacy of the medicinal powder would immediately be convinced.
With possession of this medicinal powder, they would have a greater chance of dealing with the spirits.
Therefore, regardless of the relationship between the Gu family and the Tang Sect, even allies could not escape being schemed against.
Not to mention, these people had already broken away from the Tang Sect.
However, they had underestimated the Gu family’s capabilities.
They thought that no one in the Gu family could fight, and that only Gu Yu’s medical skills were impressive.
But after Gu Mengyao made her move, she immediately shattered their confidence, which they had obtained from somewhere, and they clearly recognized the horror of the Gu family for the first time.
But, it was too late.
“Boss, it’s all resolved! The Tang Sect members who harmed me have all been executed. Shall we go back?”
When Gu Yu emerged from the space, the battle outside had already completely ended. Looking at the two corpses lying beside Xi Yang, Gu Yu didn’t give them much attention.
The outcome had already been decided, so there was no need to worry.
If these two could have escaped, it would have surprised Gu Yu.
However, the option of escaping was clearly too advanced for these two.
And after Xi Yang had his revenge, the last trace of gloom on his face dissipated. He was now radiant and had returned to his previous state.
Seeing this, Gu Yu nodded in satisfaction, thinking that it was good that Xi Yang could move past it.
This was also the reason for Gu Yu’s persistence in revenge. Besides being protective, he didn’t want Xi Yang’s mindset to change too drastically.
Putting himself in Xi Yang’s shoes, if Gu Yu had experienced something like this, being tortured and almost losing his life as a price, even if he was eventually saved, he would be depressed for a lifetime if he couldn’t find those who had harmed him.
Fortunately, everything had been resolved, so there was no need to worry too much.
“Wait, we came all this way, so we have to take some spoils of war back.”
However, when Gu Yu heard Xi Yang suggest they leave, he directly shook his head, indicating that it was not yet time.
Although Gu Yu also wanted to leave quickly, the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice was still here. If they left this time, it would be even more painful to return next time… It was better to resolve it all at once, so as not to have to come back.
In such a cold place, he would never come if he had a choice!
“Spoils of war? Boss, are you referring to that Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice? I think that’s just a fabrication invented by others to deceive people!”
“Whether it’s a deception or not, let’s see! Now, I need to release the spirit and ask about the location of the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice.”
For the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice, Gu Yu had always believed in its existence.
Just like this spirit…
If it were a normal type of creature, even if this were another world, it would be too unbelievable.
Regardless of whether the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice existed or not, Gu Yu was determined to search for it thoroughly, ensuring he wouldn’t miss any clues!
Upon hearing that Gu Yu was going to release the spirit, Xi Yang said no more and immediately retreated a considerable distance using his lightness skill.
Xi Yang had no desire to look at that terrifying spirit a second time!
Even though Gu Yu looked at him with disdain, Xi Yang was determined not to get close and could only stand far away.
“Wife, you should also stay away!”
After looking at Xi Yang with disdain, Gu Yu immediately spoke with concern as he looked at Gu Mengyao, who was still by his side.
This blatant double standard made Xi Yang, who was not far away, feel hurt.
However, Gu Mengyao simply smiled and shook her head.
“It’s okay, Ah Yu, I’m here with you.”
Although Gu Mengyao didn’t care about the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice, she cared about Gu Yu and didn’t want him to encounter any danger.
And Gu Yu had already made up his mind about what he wanted to do, and Gu Mengyao knew she couldn’t stop him.
The spirit was a kind of danger, and she had to ensure Gu Yu’s safety.
Seeing that Gu Mengyao was unwilling to leave, Gu Yu didn’t say anything more, only becoming more cautious.
With a thought, the spirit covered in wounds immediately appeared before Gu Yu. Just as it was about to react and attack Gu Yu, its body involuntarily tilted, and it directly collapsed on the ground.
When the spirit looked down at its body, it saw that one of its arms and one of its legs were missing, as if they had been forcibly torn off.
Moreover, a wave of weakness washed over its body, leaving the spirit with no strength to stand up.
Seeing the spirit in such a state, Gu Mengyao and Xi Yang’s gazes simultaneously turned to Gu Yu, wondering what he had done to the spirit.
“Ahem, it was just a scientific experiment. The spirit comrade contributed some flesh, bones, and blood, all for the vigorous development of medicine, which is highly commendable.”
Upon seeing the gazes cast upon him, Gu Yu couldn’t help but cough twice, and then he spoke with great passion.
Originally, Gu Yu hadn’t intended to saw off its limbs directly. It was mainly because the spirit’s allure was too great.
He also wanted to test if it could regenerate.
Looking at the current situation, it seemed it couldn’t…
“Human… death… unforgiving… kill… kill… kill…”
However, before Gu Yu could offer any more objective reasons, the spirit, upon realizing its condition, actually spoke!
Although its voice was faint, its pronunciation was clear.
As soon as it uttered this sentence, Gu Yu and the other two looked at it in astonishment, not expecting this spirit could speak!!!
Gu Yu also regretted it even more. If he had known this thing could talk, he wouldn’t have sawed off its limbs.
He would have just put it on display and charged tens of thousands of taels of silver for every word it spoke.
Wouldn’t that be more profitable?
