Chapter 428 - Chapter 428 Chapter 292 I Want Huo Shuixians Life

Chapter 428: Chapter 292: I Want Huo Shuixian’s Life Chapter 428: Chapter 292: I Want Huo Shuixian’s Life She did it! She pulled Tan Nv back from the brink of death!

This is she, Gu Changsheng!

Whatever she wanted to accomplish, no matter how arduous and perilous, she had to do it!

The words “knowing the difficulties and retreating” were never in Gu Changsheng’s life dictionary!

She loved challenges!

She loved facing them head-on!

She loved conquering!

Standing on the top floor of the Book Tower, Zhou Mu’s tightly pursed lips eased a bit.

He still loved her confident, arrogant, and invincible demeanor, which made his heart involuntarily leap with joy, surging and sinking, unable to extricate himself.

His Changsheng should be like this, whether pampered, arrogant, or wildly stubborn…

Only, she should never be sorrowful…

Seeing her face brimming with vigor and excitement, the crowd hugged each other in their excitement. Even though they knew the outcome, they were still joyous as they hastened to spread the news.

“Success! Lady Changsheng has succeeded!”

“A miracle! Another medical miracle has been born!”

“This should be celebrated by everyone! Celebrated by everyone!”

“How many people with external and internal injuries will benefit from this!”

“Lady Changsheng! A great benefactor to humanity!”

Praise was unceasing to her ears; a weary smile emerged on Gu Changsheng’s face as she slowly walked over to a stone table set aside, sat down, and began to write out a prescription.

“Atractylodes fifteen qian, Ginseng twenty qian, Aconite fifteen qian, Pinellia ternata fifteen qian, Plantain Herb ten qian, and Two-sided Needle fifteen qian…”

After finishing the prescription, Gu Changsheng passed it to Elder Xu beside her, “I’ll trouble Elder Xu to procure these herbs and brew them. This formula is quite effective for internal bleeding and post-surgery healing.”

Seeing this, Elder Xu dared not delay and took the prescription to get the herbs and start the decoction…

“It’s late, and the night is deep. Except for those who have successfully matched but not yet drawn blood, why don’t the rest of you go back and rest?” Gu Changsheng said slowly, looking at the crowd in the courtyard, “Such a huge mobilization is my fault, I hope you won’t blame me! I will teach everyone the blood transfusion method afterward.”

“No, no, no! Lady Changsheng, we’re not leaving!”

“Yes, we’re not going. We want to wait until the patient inside is stable before we leave!”

“Lady Changsheng, you can’t just kick us to the curb like this. Even if you chase us with a stick, I won’t leave!”

“…”

As soon as the crowd sensed that Gu Changsheng intended to send them away, they immediately shook their heads in protest, united in their impassioned refusal!

“Hehe…” Gu Changsheng chuckled lightly, helplessly conceding, “If that’s the case, there is a guesthouse in the front courtyard that’s empty. If you really don’t want to leave, then stay in my residence. Once Tan Nv is out of danger, you can also help watch over her.”

“Haha, there’s nothing better than this!” Hu Yihai laughed heartily upon hearing this.

“Leave five people here to tend to things, in case Lady Changsheng needs help with anything. Those who have drawn blood, come with me to the front courtyard,” Hu Yihai, demonstrating his leadership abilities of the Liuzhou Medical Guild, began to issue orders with pointed fingers.

Gu Changsheng shook her head and watched Hu Yihai command with quite a stance, a smile dancing on her face.

From experiencing a robbery for medical texts to later assisting her in compiling them, and finally achieving victory at the Jiangnan Medical Debate Conference, Hu Yihai’s status among the Liuzhou people and doctors had rocketed, and he had become increasingly upright.

Gu Changsheng was quite pleased with this. Even now, she firmly believed that human nature was fundamentally good. Although occasionally swayed by greed or blinded by selfishness, if someone woke up in time, they were not beyond redemption!

Gu Changsheng was someone who held grudges, because Hu Yihai had not caused her any substantial harm, she could let bygones be bygones.

But some people were different!

For example, that Miss Huo, Huo Shuixian!

Gu Changsheng’s gaze inevitably turned once more to the highest point of the Book Tower.

He, he was still there!

After the crowd dispersed, Gu Changsheng entered the tent to check that everything was alright, then changed out of her bloodied clothes, and walked toward Mr. Ban Shan.

From the beginning, her foster father had just been watching her quietly, providing silent encouragement and support.

“Foster Father, the dew is heavy in the deep night, let me take you back to rest,” Gu Changsheng offered, as she took Mr. Ban Shan’s arm, leaning on his shoulder as if shedding all her weariness.

Mr. Ban Shan, with a face full of satisfaction, patted her shoulder and smiled, “Good, good, good! Congratulations to Changsheng’s beloved daughter for creating another miracle. The medical world will surely be in an uproar once again. Changsheng’s beloved daughter, your fame as the Medicine God has just begun to rise, I’m afraid the title of Medical God will follow soon!”

To see his own daughter achieve success in the field she excelled at brought Mr. Ban Shan extraordinary joy.

With the reverence of doctors worldwide and the compliments of pharmacists, even people from the Four Kingdoms would have to weigh their options carefully before considering an action against his daughter…

“Foster Father, I don’t care about those burdensome reputations. They are not as solid as silver,” Gu Changsheng murmured in a coquettish undertone.

“You…” Mr. Ban Shan laughed helplessly.

Father and daughter walked side by side toward the Book Tower.

“Master… Master! Lady Changsheng is coming!” At the top floor, Yuan Bao exclaimed with wide-eyed terror, nervously grasping the sleeve of his master.

Zhou Mu’s body tensed, and with a slight movement, he withdrew his sleeve from Yuan Bao’s grip, his gaze unblinkingly fixed on the figure nestled against Mr. Ban Shan’s shoulder.

His Changsheng!

She must have something to say to him!

“Master, could it be that Lady Changsheng has come to seek retribution? After all, the Futu Demoness did come from our residence!” Yuan Bao said with a wounded expression, looking down at his empty hands.

His master was becoming more and more enigmatic.

Especially when it came to Lady Changsheng, his master’s actions were utterly beyond rational measure!

Gu Changsheng entered the Book Tower and escorted his foster father to the bedroom on the third floor. After a moment’s thought, he spoke up, “Foster Father, Zhou Mu is at the top of your Book Tower. Your daughter needs to consult with him on some matters and will go up first.”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ban Shan’s wise eyes flashed with insight, and ultimately he shook his head and waved his hand helplessly, “Go ahead. Some things are better said and cleared up rather than being hidden and causing unnecessary worry…”

“Thank you, Foster Father!” Gu Changsheng bowed slightly and turned to walk upstairs.

Yuan Bao’s kung fu was not bad, nor was it the worst, so he could hear the conversation between father and daughter on the third floor as clear as day from the top floor.

Because he had heard everything, Yuan Bao became even more anxious inside, looking at his master with pleading eyes, he spoke in a panic, “Master, should we run away? Lady Changsheng’s anger is not a trifling matter!”

Run away! Escaping now would be the best course of action!

As Lady Changsheng often said, Yuan Bao really wasn’t a true hero–he had no courage to face a bleak life!

“Isn’t it a bit too late to think about escaping now?”

Before Yuan Bao could say another word to persuade, Gu Changsheng’s voice suddenly came from the stairwell at the top floor.

Before long, Gu Changsheng, wearing blood-red clothes and with long hair cascading down her shoulders, appeared not far from them.

From the moment the sound emerged, a glint of joy flashed in Zhou Mu’s eyes.

He hadn’t seen his beloved Changsheng for many days… It really had been a very long time…

Gu Changsheng simply stood there, not advancing a step nor retreating, letting Zhou Mu gaze at her unflinchingly…

Actually, she was also looking at him…

He was still in his gold and purple robe, his beauty still divine and evildoer-like, compelling one’s whole heart to succumb at just a glance…

But the faint sorrow between his brows made Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes narrow.

Just what could have happened to make the usually aloof and proud Zhou Mu look so troubled?

“Evildoer…”

After a long while, Gu Changsheng murmured a call.

Upon hearing this, a shimmer of colors danced in Zhou Mu’s eyes.

The familiar address, she still called him as she always had. Did this mean she wasn’t angry?

Zhou Mu’s reaction could hardly escape Gu Changsheng’s eyes.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng sighed helplessly and slowly began to speak, “Evildoer, whatever you’re concocting in that gourd of yours, since you intend to protect me and want me to stay out of it, even if I’m no good, I won’t disregard you and let your efforts go to waste!”

Upon hearing this, a faint smile slowly crept across Zhou Mu’s sharply contoured face, and he nodded almost imperceptibly.

Indeed, it was his Changsheng, with a heart as exquisite as the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart! She knew and understood him best…

With that, he would have no regrets, no matter the cost!

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao’s anxious face immediately relaxed, and he thought to himself with relief: Good, good, Lady Changsheng understands the earnest intention behind his master’s actions!

“But Zhou Mu, even so, I must say, I want Huo Shuixian’s life!” Gu Changsheng’s tone shifted abruptly, and a chill of murderous intent spread from her as she spoke icily, “Do you not know how powerful the Futu Demoness’s inner strength is, that she has hardly any match in this world? Do you not realize how grateful I was that Gu Ze was at Bright Moon Tower at that moment?”

“Evildoer, I thought I was going to have a desperate fight with her and descend to the Yellow Springs together, never to see you again…”

As she spoke, Zhou Mu’s expression gradually darkened. By the time she reached the last sentence, Zhou Mu suddenly moved closer in a flash, imprisoning her tightly against his chest.

“My love…” Zhou Mu struggled to hide the terror in his heart, a hint of hatred passing through his eyes.

He should have torn the Futu Demoness to pieces!

Huo Shuixian! As the adage goes, much can change in a short time, he was entangled in her all-consuming plots and it was already too late when he broke free…

Even though he knew Shang Xie’s predictions were accurate, the thought of his Changsheng’s panic at the time still sent shivers of fright through Zhou Mu…

If something truly had happened to her…

The consequences were unthinkable…

“Nothing will happen to you! Nothing will happen! Your Highness will protect you from any harm, no matter the cost. It was my fault this time. If you want to beat or scold me, do it at your leisure!” Zhou Mu cherished the warm, slender body in his arms as if it were the greatest treasure.

“I want Huo Shuixian’s life!” Smelling the familiar scent of ambergris, Gu Changsheng inexplicably felt at peace and murmured in response.
