Chapter 1718: Chapter 1328: Buy One, Get Two Free?
In the next moment, a burst of white smoke and the sound of wailing ghosts arose, accompanying Gu Changsheng’s actions!
The entire figure of Gadatu, lying in a pool of blood, was shrouded in smoke, his motionless body on the ground resembling a roasted corpse!
"Ah! It hurts!"
Even as the Great General defending the Northern Mongolia Yanmen Pass, Gadatu, who was seasoned in the ways of the battlefield, couldn’t help but let out a howl!
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng wore a nonchalant smile on her face, her hands moving continuously, ensuring that not an inch of Gadatu’s body was spared from being covered with medicinal powder. Watching Gadatu’s painful howls as the powder took effect, Gu Changsheng efficiently and candidly said, "Sorry, Great General, I left in a hurry and only brought this type of topical hemostatic medicine. It may seem cruel to use, but the results are excellent. What I, Gu Changsheng, make, has guaranteed effectiveness. As the saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter but is beneficial, so bear with it, bear with it..."
Even though the effects of Gu Changsheng’s medicinal powder were potent and her tone rather gloating, the already weakened Gadatu almost fainted under her ’treatment’. Yet, a man under the eaves can only endure...
"Tsk tsk..."
Gu Changsheng looked at Gadatu, engulfed in smoke, and felt quite satisfied after using up the powder!
She smoothly put away the medicine bottle, held Yu Lianyi in her arms, and stood up. Looking back, she saw that Shi Wujue’s dark-clad subordinates were busy supporting their master. Among her own people, only her family’s evildoer was free...
"Evildoer, if you’re rescuing, do it to the end, drag him then..."
Her hands were full! She was carrying a beautiful pregnant woman in her arms!
"Alright!" Zhou Mu responded, stepping forward and skillfully...
Uh...
How to put it...
Grabbed Gadatu by one foot...
Seeing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but twitch her mouth...
Her evildoer was really obedient, not cutting corners at all!
She said to drag him...
And he really planned to drag him?
Turning her head, she glanced at the path out of the Valley of Forgetfulness; this road was filled with boulders, certainly not smooth...
Gadatu, may your ancestors bless you, hope you won’t be dragged to death!
"Let’s go!"
Sniffing, Gu Changsheng had nothing to say about her evildoer’s approach...
Well, if it weren’t for causing trouble for the Hidden World Clan and incidentally robbing this Pass Defending General of Yanmen Pass, she wouldn’t bother to save him!
It’s one thing to save someone, but you can’t expect her to be gentle with someone from a foreign land, can you?
She, Gu Changsheng, is not someone who pities others easily, let alone her family’s evildoer?
This Gadatu is from Northern Mongolia’s Rebel Army, and her evildoer is Borjigin Nian’s dear senior brother!
Ending up like this, with just two words: serve him right!
With Gu Changsheng’s command, they moved immediately...
When they came, it was just Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu; their speed and concealment from the Hidden World Clan were more than sufficient, but now, leaving, they were truly in a sorry state...
Look at this one assisting, that one carrying, another dragging...
Truly...
Not a single one is completely unharmed!
However, Gu Changsheng quickly noticed that, damn, there actually was one completely unharmed, totally idle, just standing around!
Though this unharmed one doesn’t count as part of their nation...
While weaving through tall trees, Gu Changsheng turned to glance at the handsome man persistently trailing her. She couldn’t help but twitch her mouth...
After holding back, Gu Changsheng finally couldn’t resist and spoke, "Dantai Ling, right? It seems we’re not exactly on the best of terms, yet you’re following me so closely that it somewhat feels like you’re up to no good, what’s your deal?"
Upon hearing this, Dantai Ling didn’t respond, merely fixed his gaze on Gu Changsheng, never wavering, with a wary expression...
Feeling uneasy from his gaze, Gu Changsheng prompted again, "Hey, the road’s wide enough to go separate ways, please speed up and go ahead, your team and family are up front..."
We’re not from the same country, not from the same country!
Quickly go chase after your Hidden World Clan army!
You’re always following behind me, staring with those eyes, what’s this supposed to mean?
Acting rashly against this person seems a bit unprincipled, but if I don’t, I’m really uneasy having him as an outsider tagging along, isn’t it?
Thinking about how deeply he seems to care for Yu Lianyi in my arms, letting him go looks to be the best option!
Gu Changsheng doesn’t fear him catching up with the people of the Hidden World Clan and leaking that she saved Gadatu. Who does Gu Changsheng fear? The person has been saved; whether the Hidden World Clan knows or not doesn’t matter to her. If they’re brave enough, let them come back for a counterattack!
If that’s the case, Gu Changsheng wouldn’t mind imitating them, staging a grand play of murder and cover-up!
She believes that when it comes to murder and cover-up, she’s far more cunning and thorough than the people of the Hidden World Clan, absolutely leaving no survivors!
It’s just that the people of the Hidden World Clan wouldn’t have the guts to come back for revenge!
Upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, Dantai Ling finally reacted, staring fixedly at the person in Gu Changsheng’s arms. Despite the distress on his handsome face, he spoke steadfastly, "You can’t chase me away! Wherever Lianyi is, that’s where I’ll be! I won’t leave her!"
"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng slowed her pace a bit, thought for a moment, and spoke, "Dantai Ling, do you know what you’re saying? I’m not on good terms with the Hidden World Clan people, Yu Lianyi has been abandoned by them, and will probably never go back. She risked her life to save us on the No Return Path, regardless of the outcome, it’s a sentiment I, Gu Changsheng, am obliged to repay! I am someone who repays a foot for every inch given! You don’t need to worry about this!"
"But as the legitimate son of the Dantai Family, following me like this may not be appropriate. You should understand the consequences..."
Admittedly, Gu Changsheng was unusually kind this time, giving a friendly warning to this young man perhaps blinded by love!
If he follows me, he might end up being expelled by the Hidden World Clan!
What’s more, I, Gu Changsheng, am at odds with the Hidden World Clan people, so...
"I won’t leave, I will stay with her..." Dantai Ling responded, shaking his head and speaking with determination.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s heart was filled with bitterness. This stubborn, foolish child, is it really worth abandoning the family for a woman?
"Dantai Ling, don’t forget, she loves your brother Dantai Lan, and she’s pregnant with his child!" Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but make one last attempt at reasoning...
Damn!
Honestly, she really doesn’t want to return with Dantai Ling, making it seem like she’s abducting someone else’s young master!
Of course, she doesn’t mean that, but the people of the Hidden World Clan, especially those from the Dantai Family, will inevitably think so!
"So what? She used to like my brother, but after everything that’s happened, she should see things clearly now! Gu Changsheng, as long as you can save her, as long as she can live well, I will stay by her side, never leaving!" Remembering the emotional entanglements between Yu Lianyi and his brother, Dantai Ling’s expression was somewhat excited, but his tone was resolute!
Gu Changsheng heard this and was momentarily speechless!
In this love triangle, as an outsider, she really shouldn’t comment!
Deciding not to insist on chasing Dantai Ling away, Gu Changsheng thought it’d be best for Yu Lianyi to decide once she wakes up.
After all, these are emotional debts she’s stirred up herself!
However, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel awkward inside. What kind of situation is this?
A buy-one-get-two-deal?
Saved one Yu Lianyi, one inside her belly, and one trailing behind...
Tsk tsk...
"If you want to follow, then just follow, but let me say the ugly truth upfront. When we return to the guesthouse, if you appear within my ranks and the people of the Hidden World Clan see you, even if you want to turn back, they’ll certainly hold a grudge against you! Once the arrow is unleashed, it does not return, weigh your choices carefully!" Even though she’s not chasing Dantai Ling away, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but remind him again.
"Heh heh..." Upon hearing this, Dantai Ling’s face showed a bitter smile, looking forward and murmuring, "What grudge? When you threatened to kill them to keep your secret, they fled in panic, but didn’t remember to take me with them... They’ve always been... so cold-blooded and heartless..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng was genuinely speechless!
Admittedly, Dantai Ling’s awareness is quite impressive!
The people of the Hidden World Clan, blinded by greed, have indeed become cold-blooded and heartless!
Abandoning Yu Lianyi is one thing, but not even feeling a bit sad for the deaths of so many people. In their eyes, there’s only their objective...
It’s really baffling, how intensely they desire to become stronger!
But what if they become strong? What then?
Do they dream of conquering the world? That’s sheer fantasy, thinking Gu Changsheng is just a decoration there?
The road to Valley of Forgetfulness is rugged, and Zhou Mu’s way of dragging people is honestly far from gentle. It’s best described as simple and straightforwardly rough!
Due to this, the unfortunate Gadatu, after enduring several close calls, repeatedly protesting to no avail about the pain of being dragged, finally couldn’t withstand the repeated setbacks, and his head tilted to the side as he lay on the ground, truly lying there like a corpse...
