Chapter 47: Becoming a Muscular Man
On the way home, Gu Qingheng sat in the carriage with a worried expression, constantly thinking about practicing martial arts after returning home.
Gu Yu, sitting beside him, pretended not to see anything, still immersed in recent joy.
Although the recipient of a gift should be happy, Gu Yu, the giver, was also happy.
Perhaps it was because the recipient was his lovely little wife!
Thinking of Mengyao’s excited and blushing appearance, Gu Yu’s smiling lips couldn’t stop turning upwards. Seeing this, Gu Qingheng felt even more upset.
After returning home, he would undergo hellish training, which was incredibly torturous!
Only Zhuo Fei enjoyed practicing martial arts, relishing the sourness of sweating and the pain of muscles.
Remembering what Zhuo Fei had told him, Gu Qingheng immediately decided to take the initiative and not wait passively any longer!
He must make his brother-in-law change his mind and not make him practice martial arts together.
“Brother-in-law, do you really want your cute and soft younger brother-in-law to practice martial arts, become a muscular man, and have a waist as thick as two people’s legs?”
“The way you say it makes me even more eager for you to practice martial arts!”
“…”
However, as soon as Gu Qingheng spoke, he chose the wrong approach.
Seeing Gu Qingheng’s smug look, Gu Yu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. The words that followed successfully made Gu Qingheng’s forehead crease with black lines.
The more he spoke, the more it strengthened Gu Yu’s resolve to have him practice martial arts…
No, I absolutely cannot practice martial arts!
“Brother-in-law, I was helping you just now! Didn’t you see how excited my sister was? It’s because I spoke in advance and also said that you worked very hard, so my sister could feel your love for her more!”
“Oh? So, I should thank you?”
“Hehe, how embarrassing… No, it’s what I should do. As long as you don’t make me practice martial arts, I can do anything else!”
Just as Gu Qingheng was about to get complacent, seeing Gu Yu’s half-smiling look, he immediately forced the smile off his face and spoke with a serious expression.
Gu Yu was also helpless with this cunning little brother-in-law.
For Gu family to have Gu Qingheng, this sly character, it’s unknown who he takes after.
However, the martial arts he should learn could not be skipped.
“Stop playing coy with me. What has been decided will absolutely not change… It’s also because of our trip to Tianxiang Town that your sister and I realized our previous thoughts were too simple! We can’t always be by your side. If something dangerous happens, what will you do?”
“Isn’t there your amazing medicinal powder? It won’t…”
“You’re still mentioning medicinal powder? If the medicinal powder was useful, why were you and Tang Lian starving to death in that small cave?”
“…”
“Medicinal powder isn’t always useful. Don’t think I always use it against enemies; it’s because I have space as a fallback. Even if I can’t defeat the opponent in the end, I can hide in space… But you! Where will you hide!”
Gu Yu’s decision to have Gu Qingheng learn martial arts this time was not to deliberately make things difficult for his brother-in-law but for Gu Qingheng’s own good.
Sometimes, just a little bit can make the difference between different outcomes.
Like a bomb disposal expert arriving, needing only one second to cut the fuse, but that one second is missing.
As a result, the bomb explodes, and people die.
But conversely!
If there were no traffic jams on the road, and they could have one second in advance, the bomb would have been defused.
Therefore, if Gu Qingheng learns martial arts, he will have the ability to protect himself… This will allow Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao to rest assured and not worry about anything happening to Gu Qingheng.
Even if something happens, it can reduce the chance of injury.
“Is there really no room for negotiation?”
“Hmm, no negotiation.”
“Alright, I’ll practice.”
Upon hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Qingheng sighed in his heart, knowing he had no chance of escape.
Practicing martial arts was just a casual excuse he had used before.
Even if there were no leak of information and he wasn’t caught, he would still be forced to practice martial arts for various reasons later.
In any case, he couldn’t escape… Now, he could only accept it.
Facing difficulties, don’t be afraid, just go for it…
Seeing Gu Qingheng’s transition from struggling to resisting, and finally to compromising, Gu Yu couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction, thinking that his brother-in-law was indeed smart.
He knew that if he continued to resist, there would be no other outcome.
“Boss, be careful, there’s a roadblock, and the person is quite… Oh, it’s fine now, they’ve already been dealt with.”
Just as Gu Yu was thinking about comforting his brother-in-law, Xi Yang’s voice suddenly sounded from outside the carriage.
However, he changed what he was saying halfway through, which immediately made Gu Yu curiously lift the curtain to see what was happening outside.
Afterward, Gu Yu saw the bloody scene outside and immediately pushed his little brother-in-law, who was about to pop his head out, back in.
“What’s going on?”
“Just now, the Eldest Sister directly drew her sword, and after the sword tip touched those people, it immediately sucked all their blood dry…”
“Sucked dry?”
“Yes! I personally saw a burly man sucked dry into a husk, losing his life. Then the corpse that fell to the ground even disintegrated, it was terrifying!”
As Gu Yu and Xi Yang spoke, the carriage continued to speed forward, leaving the terrifyingly dead bodies far behind.
After hearing Xi Yang’s words, Gu Yu’s eyebrows couldn’t help but furrow. He thought this Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice was too strange.
With such a terrifying way of killing, if it were used on the battlefield in the future, his little wife would be treated as a monster!
No!
He must deal with this Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice and let this material know its limits.
“Yu, this sword…”
“There’s a small malfunction, it needs to be dealt with. Give it to me, it’ll only take a few minutes.”
“Okay.”
When Gu Mengyao approached quickly on horseback, after hearing Gu Yu’s words, she immediately handed the long sword to Gu Yu.
Even Gu Mengyao was startled when she took action just now.
To make someone die so terrifyingly was too bizarre…
After receiving the long sword, Gu Yu immediately returned to his space and threw the sword into the Space Spring Water.
Then, a burst of red smoke rose, and sounds like the wails of ghosts also erupted.
However, it didn’t take long before it was completely submerged by the Space Spring Water.
Seeing the scene before him, Gu Yu immediately knew that the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice had a problem!
Seeing the Space Spring Water purifying the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice, Gu Yu wondered if he should also throw the elves into it for purification?
He hadn’t thought of purifying elves with spring water before, which was why he gave it amnesia medicine. Now that he saw the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice was effective, Gu Yu thought it would be equally effective for elves.
He was just worried that the elves would be killed outright…
But thinking about what the elves had said before.
They said this Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice could absorb malevolent energy, preventing Gu Mengyao from deviating from the correct path when practicing martial arts.
Now it seems that carrying this Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice frequently would more likely cause her to deviate from the correct path.
Hmm.
He needed to throw the elves into the Space Spring Water now, immediately, and let this guy know its limits!
