Chapter 683: 522
After the explanation, Wuchang Yue knocked on her little cane and began to speak with seriousness, showing her reluctance.
“Hmph! She is a girl who, from birth, was showered with countless affections. Only now has she realized that in the Central Plains, girls are not treasured at all, not sought after in the slightest!”
As the Bashu Witch Master, she wasn’t even as popular as a kidnapped boy. How could this be!
“Hehe… Little Witch Lord, don’t be angry. Our Young Master is the distinguished Yaoyao, the little prince of Great Zhou, smart as a whip, with a tender and lovable look, absolutely adorable. Once we get to Great Swamp Mountain and rescue him, Yuan Bao will introduce him to you. I guarantee you’ll like him!” Knowing that Little at Bun would be fine, Yuan Bao’s heart was put at ease. He patted his chest and promised.
Their proud and coquettish little deanor imdiately won everyone’s unanimous approval.
“That’s right, our Young Master is super adorable! I miss him so much…” Xiao Cui said, sniffling.
“The missus will surely bring the Young Master back.” Han Qiu, always silent and cold, said definitively.
“Yes,” Xiao Cui nodded, “I’m going to check the supplies and cook so blood porridge so that it’s ready for the missus when she wakes up.”
Thinking of the blood stains on their missus’s forehead that lasted throughout the night, Xiao Cui wiped her eyes and headed toward the supply tents.
When they had set off, they had brought many things, and with additional supplies from Bashu, they were more than sufficient!
That night, the encampnt of over eight hundred troops was sleepless. Only by mid-morning when their leaders leisurely awoke did they finally rest easy and go to rest themselves.
Originally, they had planned to rest and reorganize for three days outside Dayao Mountain, but now they had wasted one day for nothing.
However, for them, losing one day of rest was not of much consequence.
“Oh dear, I’m so tired, Dandan’s Mom, I need a hug!” The Little Insect’s thoughts tumbled as it pretended to fish for complints.
After a day of rest, Gu Changsheng’s complexion had improved quite a bit. Seeing Dandan was fine, he also felt much relief, “Thank you, Dandan. Do you want sothing to eat?”
Upon hearing this, Dandan imdiately did a roll and stood up with its mouth open, but then closed its mouth again and shook its head, “Never mind, You’ve just lost a lot of blood. I’ll wait until you’re better to eat. I’ve been dieting these last few days, I’ve eaten too much and got fat, can’t even fly properly… Dandan’s Mom, you don’t know, I nearly didn’t make it back, was close to dying… ah…”
Gu Changsheng listened, feeling a warm current pass through his heart, and shook his head, “Enough, I know you care for . How much could you possibly eat in one al? It’s less than a mosquito’s bite worth of blood. Go on, eat! I will only feel better asking you after you’ve eaten.”
“Awoo… then, I’ll eat…” Clutching its belly, the Dandan Bug imdiately bit down without any hesitation.
A pain like an insect bite pricked her brow for just an instant before returning to normal. Gu Changsheng lay on the soft couch and asked, “Dandan, did you see Little at Bun? How is he? What sort of danger made him call out to you for help?”
“Gu insects, there was an old woman who released a bunch of Gu insects to bite the crybaby, scaring him half to death. Luckily, I arrived just in ti to swallow all those Gu insects!” The Dandan Bug rolled over contentedly, clutching its belly, “Dandan’s Mom, that old woman practiced Dual Cultivation of witchcraft and Gu; she seed to have so connection with the Witch Clan. I got angry, absorbed all her Witch Gu Power! The crybaby is sure to give her a good beating to vent his anger.”
“Gu insects? Then, in the future…” Gu Changsheng said with concern.
The Great Swamp Mountain was within the Southern Border Imperial City, and most people skilled with Gu lived there. Her Little at Bun might have escaped this ti, but what about the next ti, or the ti after that?
“Don’t worry, Dandan’s Mom! Relax, when Dandan takes action, one equals two! Crybaby is connected by blood to you; I’ve given him the sa rights as you, not fearing witch gu, nor its practicers. When they see his blood, their Witch Gu Power vanishes. Crybaby is no ordinary child; who knows how he will thrive in the Great Swamp Mountain!”
“How about that, Dandan’s Mom? I’m amazing, aren’t I? Co on, praise ! Praise !”
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng finally took a long breath, her gratitude beyond words, “Dandan, thank you. As long as I’m not dead, I’ll take care of you for life, is that okay?”
“That’s great, that’s great, you were supposed to take care of for life anyway! Hee hee…” The Dandan Bug made a circle joyously, “Dandan’s Mom, after using my primordial spirit this ti, my mind is filled with so much stuff, I need to sleep and digest it all. If you encounter any dangers, wake up.”
“Alright, you sleep. Rember to wake up and eat if you get hungry,” Gu Changsheng said nodding.
The Dandan Bug in her mind rolled over to find a comfortable position and fell asleep on the spot, this ti not even returning to its own nest.
Gu Changsheng shook her head helplessly and turned to Zhou Mu with a smile, “It’s asleep. Little at Bun is fine, and even turned misfortune into a blessing.”
She recounted the conversation between her and Dandan Bug in her mind to Zhou Mu.
After listening, Zhou Mu’s furrowed brows relaxed, and others in the room also smiled.
The Dandan Bug inside their leader’s body was truly remarkable, a divine insect!
Gu Changsheng didn’t hide anything from her close and trusted followers. After what happened that night, hiding was not an option.
Seeing their proud and honored expressions, Gu Changsheng sighed with relief. Not being seen as a monster was already not bad at all!
“Benefactor Changsheng, you have a visitor…”
