Chapter 55: What is this all about?
“Zi Tan, how are you feeling now?”
“Very good. I feel full of strength, it makes me want to spar with someone!”
“Do you remember what happened before?”
“Yes, I remember!”
“Did you feel angry, the urge to kill people?”
“When I couldn’t move, I did have such thoughts, but now my mind is very peaceful… Also, Gu Qingheng went to Tianxiang Town with me back then, I believe you have already avenged me!”
Looking at Zi Tan, who was as usual, Gu Yu talked with her for a while, gradually confirming Zi Tan’s current state.
He didn’t know if the violence in the monster’s blood had been cleared by the spring water, so after drinking its blood, Zi Tan did not show any violent tendencies, and even became very calm.
This relieved Gu Yu, who thought it would be terrible if he saved a murderous demon.
Fortunately, Zi Tan’s current state was good, and she was not blinded by anger.
“I have captured the monster from Tianxiang Town, and I also went to the Tang Sect in Lianzhou and dealt with the elders and enforcers who obstructed the sect leader. I believe that next time such a situation occurs, there will be no more delayed rescue.”
“You caught the monster? You didn’t kill it, did you!”
Later, when Gu Yu mentioned the Tang Sect, Zi Tan didn’t pay much attention. Instead, she reacted strongly when she heard the word “monster.”
This reminded Gu Yu of what the monster had said, and he immediately felt a headache.
Such a good young girl, suddenly becoming someone’s servant, what is this all about?
“I didn’t kill it, I just locked it up… Since we’re on the subject, I also have something important to tell you, and I hope you won’t take it too hard.”
“???”
“Although I’ve saved you now, because all your blood was drained by the monster before, you are already dead. However, after drinking the monster’s blood, you have remained in an undead state and have become a subordinate controlled by the monster.”
“No wonder I watched all my blood drained and could still survive without eating or drinking! The monster was injured by someone before, and I was very unwilling to die, so I bit the monster’s wound. Perhaps that’s how I drank the monster’s blood.”
Even after hearing that she was considered dead, Zi Tan showed no sign of panic.
It was as if she had already known this outcome, and now Gu Yu was just confirming it.
Gu Yu couldn’t help but frown at Zi Tan’s reaction, thinking she was too calm!
Could it be that the monster’s blood had such a big influence?
If it were an ordinary person hearing this news, it would be normal to curse loudly or cry incessantly.
However, Zi Tan’s current calm demeanor, without any crying or fussing, was rather abnormal!
“Zi Tan, because your current situation is not yet determined, I cannot let you leave.”
“Well, I can’t leave now either, because I feel that the monster is nearby, which prevents me from leaving this place.”
“Don’t worry, the monster is fine.”
After talking with Zi Tan for a few more words, Gu Yu immediately put her into his space.
He then walked out from behind the house, thinking about how to arrange Zi Tan’s future…
After much deliberation, he couldn’t think of a better solution, which made Gu Yu sigh, thinking why he had wanted to do experiments in the first place!
As a result, the experiment didn’t succeed, but he picked up a big trouble.
Should he secretly kill Zi Tan?
It would be a clean break, saving him a lot of trouble later.
However, his wife and brother-in-law both knew Zi Tan was with him, so if he suddenly killed her, it would be difficult to explain…
“A Yu, what’s wrong? You look so worried, did something happen to Zi Tan?”
While Gu Yu was struggling, Gu Mengyao, who had just finished practicing her sword, saw him and immediately asked curiously.
Gu Mengyao was well aware that Gu Yu was always researching why Zi Tan wouldn’t die, so after returning home, she thought he would immediately go to research it… However, looking at his dejected appearance now, the result was clearly not too good.
What exactly happened?
Will Zi Tan have to maintain this state for a lifetime?
“No, she has recovered to normal. However, to be on the safe side, I haven’t let her out of the space and have kept her confined.”
“What happened to Zi Tan?”
“Zi Tan remained immortal before because she happened to drink the monster’s blood. I just talked to the monster and found out… As a result, Zi Tan is no longer human, and I’m finding it very difficult to decide what to do with her.”
“What! Such a thing happened? Is it not okay even if the monster is killed?”
“No, if the monster dies, Zi Tan will have to die with it.”
After Gu Yu told her everything about the monster and Zi Tan, Gu Mengyao couldn’t help but frown, not expecting things to develop this way.
What Zi Tan would become in the future was an unknown.
“Alright, don’t frown like me, you’ll get ugly!”
“Alas, this matter is indeed very tricky. Although for safety, it would be best to just kill Zi Tan, but Zi Tan is Lian’er’s sister…”
“Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time! Anyway, it won’t cause too much trouble by keeping her in my space for now. After I give the monster a good talking to, maybe I can let them out… Oh, by the way, my wife, you don’t know yet, but the monster has completely changed after being soaked in spring water for a period of time. I estimate it can’t be used to scare people anymore.”
“What did it turn into?”
“It grew human features. Let’s see what other changes happen later.”
After talking with Gu Mengyao for a while, Gu Yu stopped dwelling on it. He relaxed his brows and prepared to let things take their course.
No matter how much he worried, things wouldn’t change, so it was better to forget about it for now.
Anyway, he had other things to do.
For example, going to the Tianshan Sect to rescue Shen Xue’s master, obtaining the Thousand-year Ice Silkworm, and then returning to refine the Longevity Pill.
Perfect!
“Alright, this matter is concluded. Now, let’s think about when to let Qingheng practice martial arts, so as not to drag it out and let this kid develop a fluke mentality.”
“Aren’t we waiting for Zhuo Fei to come?”
“We won’t wait. Let Qingheng train with Xi Yang. Don’t be too protective… Thinking back to the encounter in Tianxiang Town, it’s better for Qingheng to learn martial arts.”
“Yes, I know!”
Then, when mentioning Gu Qingheng’s martial arts training, Gu Yu suppressed the urge to laugh.
He always found pleasure in tormenting his brother-in-law.
After Gu Yu spoke earnestly, Gu Mengyao immediately nodded, also feeling that her brother should practice martial arts well, so that he would have the ability to deal with danger in the future.
