Chapter 475: Chapter 474 Another Gift

Without the control of the music and the Enchanting Gu Talisman, the two Gu mothers became crazed, both desperately wanting to be the first to parasitize Lin Tian, approaching with ferocious aggression.

"Bastard, be careful!" Xiao Manxuan shouted in alarm and actually started running towards the inside of the room.

"Xuanxuan, no!" Li Yue cried out in shock, losing her voice in the process.

With two mother Gus inside the room, and moreover, ones capable of flying, the danger was immense. But as soon as she yelled, the music stopped.

The two Gu mothers, charging toward Lin Tian, seemed to sense something and immediately turned around to fly toward Xiao Manxuan.

Lin Tian instantly realized the dangerous situation; he was both angry and deeply touched by Xiao Manxuan.

He was angry because the little girl was so reckless, not considering the consequences as she threw herself in harm’s way, but touched that for his sake, she didn’t even care about her own life.

Where could Lin Tian care about Li Qingyun’s admonishments at this point? With a slap of his hands on the table, there was a "crack," and the sturdy table split open with a crack, as he leaped with great speed towards Xiao Manxuan.

He was faster than the Gu mothers. Before the Gu mothers could bite Xiao Manxuan, Lin Tian was already in front of her, wrapping his arm around her slender waist and with another push off the ground, he dashed to the door.

As he reached the door, Lin Tian saw a black shadow flying from the opposite direction; upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a piece of black cloth.

Spinning, the black cloth flew past him, aiming for the two Gu mothers behind.

With a "snap", both the black cloth and the Gu mothers fell to the ground—it was Li Qingyun who had intervened just in time, but Lin Tian didn’t have the leisure to pay attention to her.

He set down Xiao Manxuan, seized her shoulders more angrily but said, "Xuanxuan, do you know what you are doing? I won’t allow you to do this ever again!"

"I... I just... wah..." Xiao Manxuan managed a few words before bursting into tears. She hugged Lin Tian tightly, refusing to let go.

"It’s okay, aren’t I alright?" Lin Tian’s feigned anger was immediately vanquished by her tears, turning into a well of tenderness as he comforted her, patting her on the back.

Alas, women are made of water, their tears never ceasing once they start to flow, and the Xiao Family sisters seem to cry even more. The elder sister, a CEO, also cries, but this younger one, only eighteen years old and not having experienced much of the world, cries even harder.

"What if you had died?" Xiao Manxuan released Lin Tian, her tears streaming down as she spoke.

Her pear-blossom-tears appearance was no less devastating than that of the Miss’, and Lin Tian could no longer muster the words to blame her for her impulsiveness.

As for death, he was someone who had died once already, Lin Tian didn’t find death to be something to be feared, and now, even if he wished to die, it wouldn’t be an easy task.

"Second Miss, don’t cry any more, your tears could directly drown the Gu mothers to death," Lin Tian said as he wiped the tears from her face, helplessly spoke.

When he first met her, she was the spoiled Miss of the Xiao Family, who could have predicted that such a spoiled person could cry so heartbreakingly for a man. Lin Tian was at a loss on how to console a woman in tears, feeling that his usual eloquence deserted him in the face of the little girl’s tears.

"Pfft..." Xiao Manxuan couldn’t help but laugh at Lin Tian’s words, her mix of crying and laughing looking truly pitiable. She wiped away her tears and pouted, "Hmph, it’s not like what you said, that annoying Gu mother isn’t so easy to kill."

Tears were overflowing like the Yellow River, and the little girl was still in denial, but Lin Tian didn’t call her out on it. After all, she was crying over him.

"You lovebirds, always flirting at the wrong time. The two Gu mothers aren’t dead yet," Li Yue frowned at Lin Tian, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Damn it, this was their mistake, you’re dissatisfied, but I feel even more upset, Lin Tian glared back at her.

At the beginning, Li Qingyun said everything would be fine as long as nobody moved and that the Gu removal process would go as planned. Yet, a new Gu mother had unexpectedly evolved.

Dealing with one was troublesome enough, but now, two appeared at the same time. Li Qingyun is an experienced Gu Cultivator, but this problem occurred under her watch, if it’s not her responsibility, then whose is it?

Thinking this, Lin Tian’s tone grew unfriendly, he said coldly, "If you don’t like it, you can leave or close your eyes. I didn’t ask you to watch. She’s the victim here, isn’t she? Does comforting her seem wrong to you? Or do you think I caused the situation just now?"

"I wasn’t talking about Miss Xuanxuan, I’m worried about her too, but it’s unreasonable of you to put all the blame on us. If it wasn’t for your request to remove Mr. Qi’s Gu, would we conduct this experiment for you?" Li Yue was also worried about Xiao Manxuan’s close call, but still felt uncomfortable with Lin Tian’s words and protested with a sense of grievance.

You think I’m so kind as to help Mr. Qi remove his Gu? If it weren’t for wanting Li Qingyun’s help in making a medicine to provide immunity to the Soul-devouring Gu, I wouldn’t care whether Mr. Qi lived or died, Lin Tian curled his lip.

He continued, disgruntled, "Our deal is just a transaction, nobody owes anyone anything. If something unexpected occurs, are you saying it’s the customer’s fault?"

Previously, Miss had already given Li Qingyun the blood of an Ancient Martial Artist, that blood is a good resource for Gu cultivation, far more precious than money. So, it was as if I had already paid, and calling it a transaction wasn’t wrong.

Plus, this girl is too naive. This isn’t a simple experiment. Surely it’s a project commissioned by the military to Li Qingyun or a task assigned to interrogate the Japanese woman. Meanwhile, Li Qingyun conveniently involved Lin Tian in the experiment.

If it were just a trial for a medicine, there’d be no need to use the dangerous Zombie Gu for experimentation.

But Xiao Manxuan was a naive girl. Seeing Lin Tian and Li Yue starting to argue again, she quickly grabbed Lin Tian’s arm and pleaded in her sweet voice, "Lin Tian, Yueyue didn’t do it on purpose, who can control an accident, right?"

Her coquettish behavior instantly dissolved the anger in Lin Tian’s heart. Indeed, the old saying goes, ’A gentlewoman’s embrace is the grave of heroes’. I’m no hero; I can’t resist the charms of Xiao Manxuan. Lin Tian felt very helpless inside.

Truth be told, he wasn’t really looking to assign blame. Situations like this weren’t dangerous for him. His words were meant to let Li Qingyun know that he wasn’t oblivious to everything going on.

Lin Tian cast a casual glance at Li Qingyun, his look implying, "I know everything, don’t take me for a fool."

Even though Li Qingyun was now sussed by Lin Tian, she did not show any embarrassment but simply smiled and said, "Of course, I’m aware of Mr. Lin’s capabilities, which is why I let you do the experiment. Nonetheless, it was me who concealed the truth first. To express my apologies, I’ll give Miss Xuanxuan a gift later. How does that sound?"

She said this with neither submissiveness nor arrogance. Lin Tian had no intention of pursuing the matter, but since there was a gift on offer, there was no point in turning it down.

"What gift?" asked Lin Tian. Xiao Manxuan was also curious. A gift from a Gu Cultivator should be quite special, shouldn’t it?

"Don’t rush; let’s deal with the two Gu mothers first," said Li Qingyun, still composed.
