His gaze could discern at first glance that the hairpin on my head could suppress the Gu Poison and he could even make out the status of the Gu within Dumpling in my belly.
After all, he's soone who has lived in the Miao area all year round, and in matters of Gu Art, he seed far more formidable than Yu Longting and Zhang Zidao put together.
"I'm just an apprentice in gu raising under Grandma, capable only of raising gu, not saving people," Zhuzi said shakily, "I'm sorry, Lady Dragon God, I didn't an to refuse to help you with Gu Removal."
All the hope I seed to have vanished overnight, with a sense of utter despondency overwhelming as I faintly said, "It's not your fault; it was my own carelessness that got poisoned by gu."
When I returned to the small courtyard in the town where I was staying, I carried the bag of needles and threads with at all tis.
Taking just over a minute, I embroidered a healing strip of cloth and handed it to the man, "Your injuries are not light; this is for healing purposes. Just tie it around your wrist."
"Lady Dragon God... you… you are truly a kind person," Zhuzi said with eyes full of gratitude, tying the strip around his wrist, "You didn't even bla for speaking out of turn earlier."
"It's fine; we wouldn't have t if not for that incident. Yu Longting, let's go," I said, knowing that remaining would be futile and that it was better to leave and seek other solutions.
"Wait... Lady... Dragon God."
Zhuzi suddenly called out to , "You're poisoned with Corpse Gu, one that less than five people in the world can cure. Searching blindly like a headless fly can cause delays. There's a new Miao Doctor in town who's quite skilled; maybe she can help."
"The new... Miao Doctor," I mused, a flicker of hope igniting in my eyes, "Is that Miao Doctor surnad Bai?"
"Yes, yes, yes, her dical skills are superb, she doesn't raise gu but astonishingly knows how to perform Gu Removal," Zhuzi ntioned, a thrill passing across his gloomy face, which usually looked as rigid as if he had dealt with bodies too often, making him look almost like a resurrected zombie, "It's truly miraculous, though I'm not sure if she can handle sothing as surreptitious as Corpse Gu... Eh... Lord Dragon God... why are you leaving... I wasn't finished..."
The vendor, looking at Yu Longting who was running with in his arms, spoke quietly: "Don't you see? Lord Dragon God is a madman when it cos to protecting his wife. That the fetus of Lady Dragon God is poisoned by gu, and he could still be patient enough to listen this far is quite sothing. I just scared his wife a bit, and he almost had murderous intent toward ."
Uncle Zhuzi retorted, "It's your fault for speaking without thinking."
"Ha, as if you don't speak without thinking? You almost got bitten to death by a snake yet here you are, mocking as if you're any better,"
"Do you see any wounds on ?"
"Damn, worthy of Lady Dragon God, your wound has actually healed completely. Lucky dog."
...
Listening to their bickering, I felt a bit embarrassed, burying my burning face against Yu Longting's shoulder, "Aren't you being a bit too anxious about and Dumpling? Bai Zanhe is in the town; finding her should be easy without such a rush."
"I can't wait even a second longer," Yu Longting tightened his embrace, his drooping eyes both evil and tinged with a fragile nuance, "Those two earlier should consider themselves lucky not to have been slain by and besides..."
"I understand, and besides, Zanhe might not be able to cure Corpse Gu," I murmured, biting my lip, "I still have an elixir that Senior Zhang gave . If I take it, I should be able to hold on until we get to Tianying Mountain to find Granny Long, even though Xiao Li..."
Xiao Li, unlike , didn't have as much Spiritual Power as a foundation and had only taken two Immortal Peaches.
She only had the experience of taking two elixirs, and going to a remote place like Tianying Mountain might be too much for her to withstand.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Longting leaped into a room on the third floor.
The girl inside was sitting on the bed reading when suddenly soone burst in, she scread, "Ah~ Who's there? What are you doing?"
