Chapter 38, A Pampered Man
After seeing the poisonous insects finish eating without any issues, Pa Yinan no longer hesitated and directly swallowed the pill.
Although she was very suspicious of Gu Yu’s motives, after catching the scent of the pill, Pa Yinan felt an urge to drool.
This feeling was something Pa Yinan had never experienced before… However, her body had already given the most honest response; she wanted to eat the pill.
The Gu masters of the Southern Border believed in the power of nature and had some understanding of their bodies’ reactions, knowing that over a long period, the human body had developed conditioned reflexes to avoid danger and seek benefits.
The more spiritual energy within the body, the more sensitive the reactions.
As the most powerful Gu master in Zhongjia Village, Pa Yinan was also quite famous among the eighteen villages of the Southern Border. Naturally, she understood her body even better, otherwise, she wouldn’t have become a powerful Gu master.
Later, as it turned out, Pa Yinan’s gamble paid off.
The pill the young man gave her not only restored her lost spiritual energy but also broke through the seal, allowing her to regain her original strength and no longer having to be so cautious.
Feeling the abundant spiritual energy in her body, Pa Yinan was extremely happy. With just a whistle, countless insects swarmed towards her from all directions.
From a distance, it looked like a black ocean.
This made Gu Yu, who had always been reluctant to deal with insects, feel as if he had been electrocuted. He quickly left the ancestral hall to prevent these insects from crawling onto him.
Fortunately, with Pa Yinan’s control, the insects did not crawl around wildly but instead gathered around Pa Yinan in an orderly fashion, serving as her personal guards.
Among them, the majority were wary of Gu Yu, which made Gu Yu sneer in disdain after noticing it.
The fat insects in his spatial dimension had already evolved into five colors. No matter how he looked at it, they were much more powerful than these black insects!
One had to know that the more brightly colored venomous creatures were, the greater their toxicity!
At that time, if they couldn’t poison these insects…
Of course, if they couldn’t poison these insects, Gu Yu would throw the five-colored Gu worms into the latrine and let them roam freely in a sea of excrement.
Thinking this secretly, a strange smile appeared on Gu Yu’s lips, causing the five-colored Gu worms, which were still swimming in the wooden barrel of spring water in his spatial dimension, to suddenly feel a chill.
The five-colored Gu worms felt that they had to improve their strength and make their master feel that they were powerful Gu worms, so they wouldn’t be thrown away on a whim… And the way to improve their strength was to enter the spring pool they had been coveting for a long time.
Thinking that Gu Yu was not there, the five-colored Gu worms became much bolder. They immediately jumped out of the wooden barrel and flew quickly towards the spring pool.
Then, an invisible transparent barrier seemed to appear in mid-air, causing the five-colored Gu worms to helplessly collide with it and slowly fall down…
“A Yu, I’ve brought them over.”
“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s nothing. If we hadn’t found them in time, I’m afraid they would have run straight into the masses of men from Zhongjia Village.”
Just as Gu Yu was secretly pondering the combat strength of the fat worms, Gu Mengyao’s voice suddenly sounded beside him.
This made Gu Yu’s heart rejoice, thinking how fast his little wife was, to have returned so quickly!
When talking about calling Zhou Yi and Gege over, Gu Mengyao also shook her head helplessly, thinking how slow Zhou Yi was, to have fallen so far behind her.
However, perhaps it was because of the medicinal powder sprinkled on him that Zhou Yi ran so slowly!
If Gu Yu knew Gu Mengyao’s thoughts at that moment, he would have cried out in injustice, saying that the medicinal powder only reduced Zhou Yi’s thinking ability, but had no effect on his walking speed.
His speed was still the same as before.
It was just that Gu Mengyao’s speed was too fast, leaving others far behind. Obviously, anyone else would have been left behind.
“Hoo hoo, I can finally rest. My big brother who carried me was too honest and just followed one path, almost getting torn to shreds by those men carrying resentful worms!”
After Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao talked for a while longer, Zhou Yi and Gege finally arrived, albeit late.
When Gege got down from Zhou Yi’s back, his legs were weak and powerless. Cold sweat flowed down his forehead uncontrollably. Recalling the near-death experience, his heart was still pounding uncontrollably.
It was too thrilling!
“Gege!”
“Little Nan!”
However, before Gege could complain further, a familiar voice suddenly came from the ancestral hall.
This made Gege freeze on the spot. When he came to his senses, he immediately ran towards the ancestral hall as if his pants were on fire.
Upon seeing that his wife was truly not dead, Gege’s tears immediately gushed out, blurring his vision. He couldn’t believe that he had seen his vicious wife again.
As expected, such a wicked wife couldn’t die so easily!
And Pa Yinan, upon seeing Gege unharmed, felt a great weight lifted from her heart.
Although Pa Yinan had thought of finding Gege immediately after leaving Zhongjia Village, several months had passed, and she didn’t know if Gege was still alive.
After all, there were many evil arts in the Southern Border, many of which used people for experiments.
Gege knew nothing and was a pampered man, easily falling into others’ traps.
Therefore, it was good that he was alive!
Being alive meant there was still hope.
And now, they had finally met again!
“How long are these two going to cry while hugging each other?”
Looking at Gege and Pa Yinan in each other’s arms, Gu Yu did not have the patience to wait.
Since Pa Yinan had been saved, they had a direction to break through.
Therefore, eager to leave the Southern Border, Gu Yu was now very anxious to find the Imperial Seal!
“After not seeing each other for so long, they’ll definitely talk for a long time! However, the situation is urgent now, so we can’t keep waiting.”
Knowing Gu Yu’s thoughts, Gu Mengyao did not continue waiting on the spot but immediately made a decision.
Upon hearing his little wife’s words, Gu Yu acted as if he had received an imperial decree and quickly walked towards the ancestral hall with Gu Mengyao.
Originally, Gu Yu could have gone directly to ask.
However, with Gu Mengyao by his side, to avoid leaving a bad impression on his little wife, Gu Yu did not act impulsively.
He was a good person.
“Pa Yinan, I apologize for interrupting your reunion with your husband, but I hope you can tell us what exactly happened in Zhongjia Village now!”
Upon arriving at the ancestral hall, Gu Yu spoke with a smile.
This immediately caused Gege and Pa Yinan to separate and turn their gazes towards Gu Yu.
