CH 54

Lan Deng left.

The mother Gu died.

If it weren’t for the fact that the child Gu in Youyou’s body had already been sealed by Bai Qu,

The child Gu, sensing the death of the mother Gu, would definitely become agitated.

Unaware that she had just narrowly escaped a disaster, Youyou was playing with the bead with great curiosity. Even after Bai Qu and Yan Yue Yao finished their conversation and came out, she was still playing with it.

“What is that?”

Approaching Youyou, Yan Yue Yao took the bead in her hand. She frowned slightly, but ultimately didn’t find anything wrong with it.

After the negotiation, Yan Yue Yao was in a good mood.

Although she had lost a lot, as long as this person was still there, she was willing.

Stuffing the bright red bead into Youyou’s collar, Yan Yue Yao held Youyou’s hand, her exquisite and gorgeous face shimmering with radiant light.

“Do you want to go out and explore Qingshui City, Youyou?”

“Of course I do!”

Reaching back to hug Yan Yue Yao’s arm, Youyou leaned affectionately against her. Her clear and pure eyes, shining brightly in the sunlight, seemed as if they had been washed by spring water.

“Bai Qu.”

Sniffling and looking at Bai Qu, Youyou, who had just entered the sweet phase of romance, didn’t want to be separated from Yan Yue Yao at all. However, Bai Qu also couldn’t bear to part with her.

The girl’s thoughts have always been reflected on her face.

Seeing this, Bai Qu shook his head and gently refused.

“Sorry, Youyou. I can’t accompany you. I have something to do with Su Ling. We need to go to the Qinglong Palace. So, you’ll be with Yan Yue Yao. You two can go out and have fun together. But don’t worry, Youyou. I’ll be with you in this world till the end.”

Having finally reuniting with his little sister, Bai Qu naturally wouldn’t leave.

“Mmm, Bai Qu is the best.”

With a peach blossom-like face, she praised him with these words, unaware that the petty Yan Yue Yao had already taken note of them. Exiting the inn and boarding the carriage, Yan Yue Yao held Youyou and deliberately whispered in her ear, “Hmm, Bai Qu is the best to you?”

The languid voice of a woman is sometimes the most seductive, especially considering that Youyou is also someone who is obsessed with appearances and lacks strong willpower.

Her body went limp, her face blushing with embarrassment. Youyou affectionately wrapped her arms around Yao Yue’s neck and simply buried her head in her embrace.

How could she like it so much? Her heart felt sweet, not wanting to separate for even a second. Her soft, tender little hand timidly hooked onto Yao Yue’s. Youyou’s demeanor made Yan Yue Yao feel pleasantly surprised.

Yao Yue reciprocated by firmly holding onto Youyou’s hand, her eyes filled with a delighted smile.

Because she found life too boring, she dressed up as various people to seek fun, but it wasn’t until she met the person in her arms that Yan Yue Yao suddenly realized, she was the one who filled the emptiness in her heart.

Holding the girl’s hand tightly, Yan Yue Yao interlocked their fingers and kissed the girl’s temple, feeling that with her by her side, the rest of her life was truly promising.

On one side, Youyou seemed to be living in a honey jar, while on the other side, Bai Qu and Su Ling also arrived at the Qinglong Palace, preparing to negotiate with Emperor Mo Qing of the Azure Dragon nation.

Although Yan Yue Yao repeatedly said she wouldn’t fill the harem, Bai Qu would never allow Youyou to be bullied.

No one knows the limit of Youyou’s tolerance better than him. Even if Yue Yao loves Youyou deeply, in the end, the palace and everything in it, would cause her irreparable harm. Therefore, Bai Qu’s purpose in negotiating with Yan Yue Yao was to make it clear to her that she must choose between the throne and Youyou. Otherwise, she would lose everything.

Bai Qu didn’t regard the insignificant Wuxiang Continent with much importance. Although he admired Yan Yue Yao’s resourcefulness, it didn’t mean he considered himself inferior to her.

There are thousands of ways to accomplish a task.

Though he prefers taking shortcuts, if necessary, he’s willing to get personally involved.

He also knows a bit about the relationship between Mo Qing and Bai Shui.

It’s nothing more than the story of Mo Qing concealing his identity, falling in love with Bai Shui, who was also concealing her identity. However, their relationship was later disrupted by Bai Shui’s master, who was the former Palace Master of the Saint Lin Palace at that time, leading to a misunderstanding and a rather melodramatic story.

Bai Shui thought that Mo Qing was approaching her for the Saint Lin Technique, and at that time, the Palace Master of the Saint Lin Palace lied to make Bai Shui give up hope, claiming that Mo Qing had married a princess from another country and abandoned her. So, in her grief, Bai Shui tearfully severed their relationship and confessed to her master, vowing never to set foot in the Wuxiang Continent again, and so on and so forth.

After paying some points to the system, Bai Qu redeemed the whole story.

It turns out that Bai Shui had a unique constitution. She was the most likely candidate in the Saint Lin Palace to master the Saint Lin Technique and ascend to the ranks of the immortals, breaking through the nine heavens.

So, at that time, the Palace Master of the Saint Lin Palace particularly disliked Bai Shui for being constantly immersed in love affairs and neglecting her talent.

Therefore, she decided to break them apart.

The outcome of the negotiation with Mo Qing was both unexpected and within Bai Qu’s expectations. However, regardless of the result, unifying the four nations was imperative.

Before Youyou knew it, the Wuxiang Continent had undergone tremendous changes.

She spent each day happily playing with Yao Yue, enjoying a life filled with joy and contentment.

After causing a commotion for almost half a month, the people searching for the antidote finally returned.

Facing tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the Vermilion Bird nation, the tribal chief of the Miaojiang tribe, unwilling as he might be, had no choice but to offer up the tribe’s most precious treasure.

The Gu King, also known as the King of Ten Thousand Gu.

It possesses an extremely deadly attraction to Gu worms.

In the quaint and elegant room, Youyou sat at the table, curiously watching the tribal chief of the Miaojiang tribe. He pulled a wooden box from his pocket and carefully opened it with utmost caution, as if it contained something extraordinary.

“Don’t look.”

Covering Youyou’s eyes from behind, Yan Yue Yao signaled to the tribal chief of the Miaojiang tribe to act quickly, while on the side, Bai Qu and Su Ling also stared at him intently, putting immense pressure on the elderly tribal chief of the Miaojiang tribe.

“Please place Miss Youyou’s left hand on the table. I need to cut open her wrist to let the Gu worms out. Ahem, the process will be very painful,” he said.

“Stop talking nonsense.”

No matter how paniful it would be, they had to remove the child gu. Bai Qu, Su Ling, and Yue Yao all understood this fact. They pressed the girl’s tecder, white arm onto the wooden table. Yan Yue Yao hit Youyou’s acupuncture points to prevent her from moving, then shifted her beautiful eyes to glare at the Miaojiang clan leader.

“Um.”

The Miaojiang clan leader, who was being stared at by Yan Yue Yao, broke out in a cold sweat.

He carefully opened the black wooden box, only to see a fist-sized black hard bug lying quietly on the cotton wool inside.

Using a small ancient style knife, he cut open Youyou’s wrist, while Yan Yue Yao, reacting quickly, swiftly covered Youyou’s mouth, silencing her whimpers.

Although Bai Qu and Su Ling felt heartbroken, they were helpless. After all, every world has its rules, and they weren’t allowed to contradict the heavenly laws/restrictions.

Sprinkle a special purple powder on the wound and Gu King’s body. After a while, Gu King woke up with its tentacles twitching slightly, and Youyou,

He sprinkled a special purple powder on the wound then placed the Gu King onto it. Before long, the Gu King stirred a bit and woke up. As for Youyou,

she began to tremble and whimper incessantly.

The child gu, sensing the Gu King’s scent, awakened and began to frantically search for it, moving all around Youyou’s body incessantly. Yan Yue Yao made sure to restrain Youyou’s body, her demeanor terrifyingly calm.

Youyou’s blood gradually stained the table red. After a quarter of an hour, the cunning, yet loyal child gu finally crawled out of Youyou’s body through the wound on her wrist.

It was a bug the size of a fingernail, entirely black, bearing a striking resemblance to the Gu King. Once the child Gu emerged, Yan Yue Yao immediately took out medicine and tended to Youyou’s wrist, binding it with a cloth strip. Meanwhile, Yu Yu’s unobstructed gaze,

…helplessly watched as the child Gu eagerly rushed towards the Gu King, only to be devoured by the waiting Gu King with a crunching sound.

Youyou：……

After eating its fill, the Gu King lazily flipped over his insect body, as if savoring the taste.

It moved its head and looked at Youyou with an expression that seemed to be smiling.

It seemed that Youyou’s reaction pleased it.

Youyou remained dumbfounded throughout the whole experience. When Yan Yue Yao finally released her acupuncture points, she burst into tears, which startled the trio.

“Youyou, how are you feeling? Are you in a lot of pain?”

“Be good, it’ll get better soon if you endure.”

“I’m sorry, Youyou.”

The three’s anguish and self-blame gradually stopped Youyou’s crying. She tremulously pointed at the Gu King with her right hand and said, still shaken, “I was so scared.”

“It, it, it actually ate the love Gu.”

Bai Qu, Su Ling, Yan Yue Yao:…

With the matter of the love gu finally being resolved, a weight was lifted off the minds of Bai Qu, Su Ling, and Yan Yue Yao. They had all chosen to keep Youyou in the dark regarding the murky matters of the instability of the court to spare her any further stress. To keep her entertained while they were away, they decided to entrust the Gu King to her as a pet.

As for whether the Gu King lived or died in the end, they didn’t care.

Perhaps the mental shadow cast by the Gu King on Youyou was simply too overwhelming.

Youyou was initially quite terrified of the Gu King. Every time she threw it vegetable leaves to feed, she’d have the shadow guards standby nearby to protect her.

That’s right, the black bug, once a lofty king of the Miaojiang clan’s sacred objects, was now reduced to the point of eating vegetables and living a vegetarian lifestyle.

If it weren’t for the fact that the scent on the girl’s body was so enticing,

The Gu King insists that it would never compromise its dignity to munch on vegetables.

Thus, with time and mutual understanding, the bond between human and bug deepened. At least in the end, Youyou gained the courage to reach out and touch the Gu King when feeding it vegetable leaves.

In this world, Youyou led a very happy life.

She successfully married Yao Yue as her wife, and Bai Qu and Su Ling didn’t leave her side till the end.

Over the course of several years, Mo Qing and Bai Shui reconciled and grew closer than ever. Eventually, the Azure Dragon Emperor united the four nations on the Wuxiang Continent

Youyou was stripped away from the status of the virgin and traveled around with the Yaoyue Bai Qu Su Ling, but occasionally returned to the Qinglong Palace to see Bai Shui and Mo Qing.

Youyou was stripped of her status as Holy Maiden, and then proceeded to travel the world with Yao Yue, Bai Qu, and Su Ling. Occasionally, they would return to the Qinglong Imperial Palace to visit Bai Shui and Mo Qing.

Bai Gu and Bai Ling returned to the Sacred Mountain and became the guardians of the new Holy Maiden.

Youyou enjoyed such a carefee life, travelling all over, that when she returned to the system space, several decades had passed in that world of the Wuxiang continent.

When she returned to the system space, all her memories were wiped, and Youyou blinked, wondering why her eyes held unshed tears.

The blood red bead exuded a strange light in the system space.

Youyou looked at Xixi in confusion, her gaze clear as water.

[Congratulations on completing the mission, host!]
