Chapter 299: Chapter 297: Retreat After Success

Gu Masters are the most troublesome people in this world. Once you provoke one, unless you kill them in one fell swoop, you will live in crisis at every moment. Even when drinking water or eating, you must be fully alert. A moment’s carelessness may result in being afflicted by a Gu, a fate worse than death.

Especially those Gu Masters who refine Gu using living humans have surely dark hearts, hold grudges, and every Gu worm has a special connection with its master. If a Gu worm dies, the Gu Master will certainly know and will definitely seek revenge on the killer.

In this regard, Lu Tianxing had no doubt. How much magnanimity can you expect from a Gu Master who refines Gu with living people?

However, Lu Tianxing didn’t worry about the Gu Master coming after him; his real concern was that the Gu Master would trouble Xue Man. Strictly speaking, Xue Man could be considered an Ancient Martial Artist, but she was far too weak. To put it bluntly, Xue Man would be utterly defenseless against this Gu Master, like meat on a cutting board. This was Lu Tianxing’s true worry.

As they say, when saving someone, see it through to the end. Since he took on Xue Man’s mess and she was his friend, he couldn’t just sit back and ignore it. Having no way to locate the Gu Master, he could only lie in wait for them to show up and then eliminate the threat once and for all.

Moreover, there’s a saying that trouble should not involve family members. Such vindictive people, once they make a move, will annihilate entire families, leaving no one behind. The best strategy is to strike them down with lightning speed as soon as they appear.

In this regard, Lu Tianxing was utterly confident. As long as the Gu Master showed up, he was completely sure he could deal with him.

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Xue Man’s pretty face tensed up, her fingers intertwined tightly, and her eyes frantically scanned her surroundings. "Lu Tianxing, are you saying there’s still danger?"

Her world had been black and white for the past week, she had been like a soulless person. Just as the crisis seemed over and the world was brightening, Lu Tianxing spoke these words. How could she not be scared? She was determined not to return to the soul-crushing, bleak existence she had lived before.

Seeing Xue Man’s panicked demeanor, Lu Tianxing gave a wry smile. He knew he should have kept quiet, but he couldn’t stay silent because he was worried the Gu Master might not find him and instead go after Xue Man, which was the last thing he wanted to happen.

"It’s okay, don’t worry, I’m just giving you a heads-up. As a beautiful woman like yourself, you should be more cautious. And, didn’t you notice the look that guy had when he left? I’m concerned he might trouble you, which is why I gave you my number. Remember, if you notice strangers lingering near your place or following you, call me immediately. After all, I caused this situation, so I should take responsibility to the end."

"Alright, I understand. You should also be careful, Lu Tianxing. Chen Hao is a man of small mind, and having been humiliated by you this time, there’s no guarantee he won’t come after you. I know you’re strong, but it’s easier to dodge an open spear than a hidden arrow. Still, it’s better to be cautious," Xue Man said with a worried tone.

Lu Tianxing patted his chest, saying, "No problem, that trash dares to trouble me, he’s asking for death. You just be careful."

"Hmph, don’t underestimate me. I’m a Yellow-level Peak expert. If he dares to trouble me, I’ll beat him black and blue, crippling him in one fell swoop."

Xue Man snorted coldly, her gaze sweeping meaningfully across Lu Tianxing’s lower body.

Lu Tianxing suddenly felt a chill down below. This girl always talked about crippling this one or that one; she would have a hard time getting married in the future. It seemed he would have to take it upon himself to reform this female demon, to undertake the great task of purification. As the saying goes, "If I don’t go to Hell, who will?"

"Alright, go take care of your mother. If there’s nothing wrong, brew the Golden Cicada into a single bowl of water from three and have your mother take it, then keep the Golden Cicada well. Remember, besides using it for the medicine, don’t forget about other nutritional intake on a regular basis."

Lu Tianxing clapped his hands together, "My work here is done. If there’s nothing else, I will be on my way."

"Ah, you’re leaving?"

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Xue Man showed a trace of reluctance. "Do you want me to drive you back?"

"No need, Auntie’s illness has recovered, and since I treated her, I believe she will wake up very soon. You go keep your mother company, I believe you two also have a lot to say to each other, I don’t want to interrupt your mother-daughter reunion."

Lu Tianxing waved his hand, declining Xue Man’s offer, with no lingering thoughts, he left the hospital.

"Lu Tianxing, thank you," Xue Man said softly as she watched his retreating figure, tears uncontrollably spilled from her eyes.

A week had passed, a whole week, whenever she saw her mother’s condition change day by day, her heart felt like it was shattering, the depths of her soul were chillingly cold, unable to feel any warmth, as if she had become a piece of ice.

Now, at last, the clouds had parted and the moon shone through.

At this moment, Xue Man felt as though something had been lifted from her shoulders, her body felt lighter, and her usually cold face seemed much softer now.

"Lu Tianxing, thank you, thank you so much."

Xue Man murmured softly to herself, the coldness on her face disappearing without a trace, replaced by a radiant smile.

This smile, like the melting of ice and snow, was incredibly brilliant. The appearance of tears amid her joy added a few more charms to her beauty.

Several doctors passing by stopped in their tracks upon seeing this smile, gazing at Xue Man stupidly, unable to regain their composure for quite some time.

Suddenly, Xue Man’s expression changed as if she had heard something, and she quickly turned around and walked toward the ward.

As soon as she entered the room, Xue Man’s tears couldn’t be held back any longer; they rolled down her face. On the hospital bed, her mother, who had been in a coma, now had her eyes open and was looking around the ward.

She woke up!

She finally woke up.

The mother, who had already been given a critical condition notice by the doctor, had finally regained consciousness.

"Mom, Mom, you’re awake, you finally did it, it’s so wonderful, really so wonderful. I have to share this good news with my sister, I have to let her share in this joy with me."

Xue Man’s tears rolled uncontrollably down her face as she shakily took out her phone and dialed Xue Bing’s number: "Sister, you... you come to the hospital quickly, Mom... Mom, she has woken up, hurry over."

"Clatter!"

The phone on the other end dropped onto the floor, followed by a clamor of a door slamming shut.

Ten minutes later, a beautiful woman in a police uniform hurried into the hospital, her face filled with surprise, fear, and a nervous heart, attracting the frequent glances of the surrounding patients.
