Doted By The Regent King Chapter 1666 - 1604: Grateful to Have You

In order to heal Ah Jiu, just gathering the rare Love Flower cost the lives of four of our own, showing how dangerous it was.

So it’s truly a great joy that both Wufu and Ah Jiu survived, although they are both still weak. With Bai Xiaobai around, as long as they recuperate properly, everything will be fine.

After two more days of recovery, Wufu, concerned about the imminent delivery of Madam Zhou, proposed returning ho. She felt uneasy with only Madam Lu and the others there.

Ah Jiu saw she was determined, and since it was her mother, said nothing, only asked Yuan Ye and the others to prepare the carriage.

Wufu and Ah Jiu went to say goodbye to Ah Sang.

"This ti, thanks to your noble clan and your generous help, this little token is our gratitude." Wufu pointed to the box Yuan Ye handed over and said to Ah Sang, "In the future, if you need any help, just ask—whether mountains or seas, it doesn’t matter."

Ah Sang took the box, opened it, and saw a stack of Gold Notes, one thousand taels each, totaling ten notes.

That is to say, this box of Gold Notes was worth one hundred thousand taels of silver.

"We didn’t do much; it was all of your own volition, no need for this." Ah Sang returned it: "We’re all friends of the Jianghu."

Wufu smiled and said, "Life is more precious than gold. Your willingness to help shows your deep kindness, so please accept it. New Year is coming, perhaps buy sothing festive for your clan."

Ah Sang thought for a mont, then took five notes and tucked the rest back into Yuan Ye’s hands, saying, "This is enough. I thank you on their behalf for your kindness."

Yuan Ye looked at Wufu, who nodded, and Yuan Ye then carried the box aside.

Ah Sang gave them two Silver Filigree Balls, each hanging from a Unity Knot, saying, "This is a small token. You’re ant to wear them; the Gu Insect and Gu poison won’t dare approach or harm you. The beeswax inside the silver balls is made from the saliva of the Gu Emperor mixed with various toxins, offering so protection, and it’s harmless to humans."

Wufu accepted them, finding inside a round piece of beeswax, emitting a faint exotic fragrance, and thanked him with a smile.

"I wonder how your clan intends to handle the Heart Gu?" Ah Jiu asked.

Ah Sang said, "Such a Gu is domineering. We will research better Gu Guiding thods, not using the aggressive approach you did before. If passed down, it will serve as a valuable reference for our descendants."

Ah Jiu frowned slightly and said, "I hope the Saintess can establish clan rules forbidding private practice of this harmful Gu; it truly goes against heavenly principles."

Ah Sang clasped his hands and said, "We shall heed your advice, my lord."

"Then, we take our leave now. Truly, my mother’s condition weighs heavily on my mind." Wufu said.

"Farewell then."

Wufu signaled to Yan Er with a glance, then boarded the carriage with Ah Jiu, attaching one of the silver balls to his waist, saying, "Perfect, one for each of us."

Ah Jiu smiled and said, "You should lie down and rest more." Her face remained as pale as ever.

Wufu, having stood for a while, felt a bit dizzy, nodded, and then looked towards Yan Er, who was bidding farewell to the Saintess, and sighed, "What a pity, the falling flower has feelings, but the flowing water is heartless."

"They are from two different worlds, each with their own missions; it cannot be forced!" Ah Jiu said softly, "Besides, being dear friends isn’t bad at all."

"True." Wufu lay down, saying, "In this world, there is love beyond romance, including friendship and family."

"So I am lucky to have you."

"Likewise."

Lucky to have you, leaving no regrets in this life.
