Chapter 23: What is this?
Because they were worried that Xi Yang would be harmed during his recovery, Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao did not leave the room. Instead, they stayed by Xi Yang’s side, silently protecting him.
During this time, many people came to ask Gu Mengyao to take action.
As for what they wanted her to do…
It was to deal with the spirits produced by the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice.
After heavily injuring the spirit, it would beg for mercy.
Then, they could learn the location of the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice from the spirit’s mouth!
Gu Mengyao did not go easy on those who wanted to use her as a pawn. She dealt with one person at a time, and pairs of people at a time.
In the end, the number of people who came gradually decreased.
During this time, Gu Yu advised Gu Mengyao not to get angry.
It wouldn’t be good to get angry at herself for the sake of these few useless people.
However, Gu Mengyao directly shook her head and told Gu Yu truthfully… she was just bored staying in the room and wanted to move her body.
Hitting people was a very good sport.
Hearing this, Gu Yu was speechless.
His little wife had very unusual hobbies!
Afterwards, with people coming to get beaten up from time to time, Xi Yang soaked in the wooden barrel for two full days.
The wound where his flesh had been removed, exposing white bone, was now covered by newly grown flesh. It was not as terrifying as it was at first.
However, the newly grown skin was too tender, looking even better than a woman’s skin.
Especially Xi Yang’s face, which had also become incredibly fair from soaking, making him look like a pretty boy.
As the saying goes, fair skin hides a multitude of flaws.
Xi Yang’s pretty boy appearance was indeed like that now.
He even looked a little handsome.
“It’s been two days. Should we wake Xi Yang up?”
“Yes, it’s time. Wife, please step aside for a moment.”
“Step aside?”
“Xi Yang is covered in water, it’s really not very presentable…”
Originally, Gu Mengyao was still wondering why she had to step aside.
However, after hearing what Gu Yu said, Gu Mengyao’s cheeks immediately flushed, and she understood what was going on.
After Gu Mengyao pushed the door to leave, Gu Yu looked at Xi Yang soaking in the wooden barrel. He thought that since his wife hadn’t seen Xi Yang’s entire body naked, how could he let another man’s body be exposed to her!
Or, when they returned home, he could try it.
While bathing, his wife would ‘coincidentally’ walk in.
That feeling would definitely be exhilarating.
However, thinking of the scene where he was tormented by his wife earlier, Gu Yu immediately dismissed this idea.
He was no match for Gu Mengyao.
It was better not to play with fire to avoid getting burned.
Otherwise, when he couldn’t extinguish the fire, he would be the one to douse it.
Thinking about these things, Gu Yu painstakingly dragged Xi Yang’s body out of the wooden barrel, then stuffed the antidote into Xi Yang’s mouth to wake him up.
“Laoda, I… cough cough, what is this taste, it’s so disgusting!”
After Xi Yang woke up, before he could even finish his sentence, he immediately couldn’t help but cough.
Immediately, the spring water mixed with various medicinal herbs was spat out from Xi Yang’s mouth.
When Gu Yu put Xi Yang into the wooden barrel earlier, he didn’t take too much consideration… anyway, space spring water wouldn’t let people drown, so he could do as he pleased.
Moreover, Xi Yang had too many wounds, even his scalp had some…
“You’ve recovered quite a bit. Quickly try your body and see how it feels.”
“It’s recovered already?”
“Otherwise! Did you think you’d be lying in bed for half a year or a year? You can afford to lie there, but I can’t afford to support you.”
To prevent Xi Yang from dwelling on these matters, Gu Yu immediately changed the subject. Xi Yang’s face was full of disbelief when he heard that his body had completely recovered.
Afterwards, Xi Yang hopped in place. He didn’t feel any pain.
In fact, he felt that his body seemed to have become even stronger!
Looking down to examine his body and seeing no traces of wounds, Xi Yang was truly impressed by Gu Yu’s medical skills!
The wounds, maliciously cut by others, had healed as if new.
Moreover, even the scars from previous injuries were no longer visible.
When Xi Yang had seen Gu Yu treating the patient, he just thought Gu Yu was skilled. But after experiencing it himself, “skilled” was not enough!
It should be magical!!!
Such magical medical skills made Xi Yang wonder if it was something a human could master?
But, thinking of Gu Yu’s origins, Xi Yang immediately let go of his doubts.
Gu Yu was not an ordinary person to begin with.
“How is it? Have you recovered completely?”
“Mmm, and even more than that! I feel like my body has become stronger. I’ll try practicing martial arts later.”
“You’d better not. Although you look recovered now, you can’t overexert yourself… Rest for a few more days first. Oh, right, take this and deal with it.”
Seeing Xi Yang’s eager look, Gu Yu couldn’t help but shake his head. He didn’t say anything more, but directly took the wooden barrel filled with flesh from the space and placed it in front of Xi Yang.
After all, it was the flesh that had fallen from Xi Yang’s wound. Now, it was time to return it to its owner!
“This is?”
“The flesh cut from your wound.”
“…”
Looking at the pale flesh pieces in the wooden barrel, Xi Yang didn’t react immediately. When he heard Gu Yu’s words, his eyes widened, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
Why keep this thing for him to see ah ah ah ah ah!!!
And why cut off so much flesh ah ah ah ah ah!!!
“What are you still愣着 (lèngzhe -愣怔/stunned) for? Hurry and take it away. I feel like vomiting just looking at it. After you’re done dealing with it, come back quickly! I still have things to ask you!”
Seeing Xi Yang’s stunned appearance, Gu Yu didn’t stand on ceremony. He directly kicked both Xi Yang and the wooden barrel out, letting them bid farewell to his flesh.
At the same time, Gu Yu called his wife, who was currently beating up several people, over. He planned to ask Xi Yang what had happened in Tianxiang Town when he returned, and why things had turned out this way!
…
“Originally, I came to Tianxiang Town with Qingheng, and nothing unusual happened on the road. It was just a few people from the Tang Sect who always harassed the maids they brought with them, and even tried to make advances on Tang Lian and Zi Tan.”
“Naturally, I stopped such behavior… Although I was not their opponent, the medicinal powder I carried was very powerful. After making them suffer a round, they didn’t dare to act like they did before.”
“However, who knew that after arriving in Tianxiang Town, they heard about the presence of spirits from the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice. They immediately got excited and didn’t care about the mission they were on. They directly took people to the glacier, wanting to find the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice.”
After Xi Yang finished dealing with the flesh and stood before Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao, he immediately began to vividly recount what had happened during this trip.
When he mentioned the people from the Tang Sect, Xi Yang’s face showed obvious disgust. It was clear he had no good impression of these people.
Even now, he still gritted his teeth in hatred when he spoke of them.
It was because of these people that he got separated from Gu Qingheng and Tang Lian, and subsequently ended up in such a miserable state.
On the side, listening to Xi Yang’s account of what had happened on the road, Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao did not rush him to continue. Instead, they gave Xi Yang enough time to organize his thoughts.
Since things had already reached this point, there was no use in rushing. It was better to hear the entire sequence of events.
“Even though Tang Lian had sensed the danger in Tianxiang Town and wanted to leave immediately, those trash from the Tang Sect did not agree. Instead, they used the sect to pressure Tang Lian, which led to Qingheng arguing with them for a long time. In the end, Tang Lian agreed.”
“The people from the Tang Sect threatened Tang Lian using her father?”
“Yes! I was also furious at the time, thinking of secretly beating them up for revenge when we reached the glacier. But I didn’t expect… we really encountered spirits this time.”
When Xi Yang mentioned the word “spirits,” his body couldn’t help but tremble, as if recalling the appearance of the spirits made him extremely scared.
This made Gu Yu suddenly interested, wondering what the spirits looked like.
Before he traveled through time, Gu Yu was a well-read man who had read many novels, including many supernatural ones that mentioned spirits.
However, in Linfeng Kingdom, it was monsters formed from the spirits born of the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice that were called spirits.
Although there were some differences, it did not reduce Gu Yu’s curiosity. Instead, it made him want to see them up close.
Anyway, with the Soul-Suppressing Bell and his space as his two great weapons, he was not afraid of these spirits.
Even if he caught the spirits and exhibited them in the capital… he could collect admission fees from time to time, which might bring in a lot of money.
It was a way to earn money.
“I’ve never seen such evil things. They look like humans, but they are oddly shaped, and they have no facial features. In short, the more I look at them, the more terrifying they are. I don’t want to look a second time!”
“This spirit had immense strength. Upon discovering the few of us, it immediately rushed towards us and directly broke one person’s neck with its hand, quickly sucking his body dry.”
“Seeing such a terrifying scene, I no longer cared about the lives of the other people from the Tang Sect. I quickly took Qingheng and Tang Lian and left. Zi Tan was a step behind and was caught and killed by the spirit.”
“As we were trying to leave, those people from the Tang Sect played dirty tricks. At the critical moment, I told Qingheng and Tang Lian to go first. After I dealt with those scoundrels, I would meet up with them.”
“However, I overestimated my abilities. Before I could even use the medicinal powder, I was besieged by them… Afterwards, driven by greed for more medicinal powder, they tortured me severely, then leaked the news to the Tang Sect, wanting to lure you all here.”
At this point, Xi Yang stopped.
The story was finished.
However, after Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao listened to the entire account, their expressions were both icy.
Anyone who dared to scheme against the Gu family would not be allowed to live comfortably.
“Where are those people now?”
