Chapter 538: Chapter 536 I Don’t Want To_1

Na Ersi’s expression was twisted with conflict, "Yingchen... stop asking, if it were possible, I’d want them to be together too, but it really is impossible..."

He and Wawa had only this one daughter; he wanted her to be happy too, but the heavens seemed to conspire against them; they couldn’t be together.

Different species, their fate was to have affinity without destiny.

"What are you rambling about? Just tell me what would happen if they were together!" Su Wanxia looked at Na Ersi with some impatience.

Na Ersi paused for a long while before he spoke softly, "The man would be tormented by the Gu poison, suffering unbearably every three months, until his vitality was drained. All these years, the one who lasted the longest endured for no more than three years..."

The room suddenly fell silent, and everyone kept their silence.

After a long while, Mu Yingchen finally spoke, "Can the Gu in Xiaoxiao’s body not be removed?"

Na Ersi shook his head, "There’s no cure..."

Su Wanxia’s heart plummeted into the abyss. After a moment, she said full of hope, "Why is there no cure? If Yaoyao’s can be removed, why can’t Xiaoxiao’s be cured?"

"Wanxia... the Gu inside Xiaoxiao is different. If it could be cured, it wouldn’t have been passed down from generation to generation..."

Su Wanxia slammed her hand on the table, "What kind of twisted practice is this?"

"This is the helpless fate of being from the Gumiao Tribe, which is why, from generation to generation, we have lived reclusive lives in the mountains and forests..."

"Then why are you here?" Mu Yingchen asked, confused. He knew a little about the Gumiao Tribe; it should be a very secluded tribe.

Na Ersi replied with a faint smile, "It’s a long story, but indeed, the Gumiao Tribe isn’t from around here..."

Mu Yingchen knew what was appropriate to ask and what wasn’t, so he did not continue.

"So what you’re saying is, no matter what, they can’t be together?" Su Wanxia still couldn’t believe it.

"No way..." Na Ersi was straightforward and unambiguous.

Su Wanxia fell silent at once.

"I’ll make the antidote as soon as possible to remove the Gu from Yaoyao..."

As soon as Na Ersi finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

This outcome was undoubtedly the most sorrowful...

"If that’s the case, let Xiaoxiao go then..." Su Wanxia sighed.

"I’ll go and see her..." Na Ersi stood up and walked toward the ancestral hall.

"Ah, how could this happen..." Su Wanxia was fraught with worry.

Mu Yingchen took her hand and gently patted it.

After Xiaoxiao returned, she hadn’t even had the chance to change clothes before Na Ersi punished her by making her kneel here.

Her heart had become so numb that she lost all sensation, and even after kneeling for so long, she couldn’t feel any pain—only numbness, numbness, and more numbness.

She stared blankly at the ancestral tablets in the hall, her gaze ethereal and lifeless.

She had never imagined that she would have a Gu in her body, and that it had been there since birth.

No wonder that time she was in such excruciating pain yet the doctors couldn’t find anything wrong; it was all because of the thing inside her causing trouble.

Moreso, she was still...

Fortunately, her father had a way to help him remove it; otherwise, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

Suddenly, the door behind her opened, and light footsteps sounded. Xiaoxiao turned her stiff eyeballs and looked toward the newcomer...

Seeing Na Ersi, tears welled up in her eyes; she blamed herself. If she had listened to her father, this wouldn’t have happened.

Mu Zisu would not be put in harm’s way.

Just thinking about that kind of pain made her shiver from the bottom of her heart.

"Xiaoxiao... you should break it off with him," Na Ersi couldn’t bear it either.

Na Xiaoxiao’s tears suddenly slid down from her eyes, blurring her vision...

"In half a month, Dad will go with you to treat his poison, I’ll tell you the specifics when the time comes..."

Na Xiaoxiao’s tears became even more torrential, and she hugged Na Ersi’s legs, crying out loud, "Dad... I don’t want to..."

Na Ersi sighed deeply, "Xiaoxiao... if you stay with him, he’ll be the one to suffer, his blood can’t suppress the poisonous insect in his body..."

That day, Na Xiaoxiao cried in Na Ersi’s arms from dawn till dusk, without a break, as if she had cried all the tears out of her body.

In twenty more days, it will be Mu Zisu and Mu Zixuan’s 26th birthday, and Su Wanxia and Mu Yingchen had agreed to return home and throw a birthday party to celebrate, but unexpectedly, such an unforeseen event had occurred.

To avoid arousing Mu Zisu’s suspicions, Mu Yingchen and Su Wanxia returned to C City in advance with Mu’s mother and Na Ersi.

Because Na Ersi said, he needed to examine Mu Zisu’s physical condition before the poison could be treated.

Na Xiaoxiao would be arriving a few days after them—

On this day, as Mu Zisu and Mu Zixuan had just started dinner, they heard joyful shouts coming from outside.

Mu Zixuan dropped her chopsticks and ran outside; sure enough, the helicopter was already whirring as it began to land on the rooftop.

"Daddy, Mommy~~" Mu Zixuan sprinted towards the direction of the rooftop.

Mu Zisu followed as well, a rare smile appearing on his usually cool face.

For some reason, during Xiaoxiao’s absence, he had been feeling uneasily anxious, afraid that she might never return.

He had brought back someone who was well-versed in mysticism, yet, so many days had passed and she still had not returned.

With that thought, he also headed towards the direction of the rooftop where the helicopter was landing.

Upon entering C City, Na Ersi had already been taken to Mu Yingchen’s East Suburb Villa and did not come with them to the Mu Family.

Mu Zixuan hugged everyone happily in turn.

"Grandma, you’re finally back, I missed you so much..." Mu Zixuan supported Mu’s mother, cooing sweetly.

Mu’s mother, now with a head full of silver hair but still spirited, held Mu Zixuan’s hand and patted it while laughing heartily.

"Grandma missed you too..."

"I thought you’d forgotten about Yaoyao and my birthday..." Mu Zixuan pouted.

"How could we forget your and Yaoyao’s birthday?" Su Wanxia gave her daughter an exasperated look.

Mu Zisu came over as well, smiling as he called out to his parents and then walked to Mu’s mother to support her on the other side.

Mu’s mother looked at Mu Zisu, patting his arm and laughing with approval.

Seeing Yaoyao, Su Wanxia couldn’t help but feel heartache.

Thinking about his and Xiaoxiao’s love ending just as it began, she couldn’t help sighing in helplessness at the bottom of her heart.

Mu Yingchen could tell what she was thinking and sighed softly, patting her shoulder and then leading her inside the house.

Once in the living room, Mu Zixuan mysteriously said to everyone, "I have two pieces of good news to tell you..."

Su Wanxia raised an eyebrow, somewhat anxious as she watched her daughter who was bursting with excitement, wondering what sort of ’good news’ her daughter was about to announce.
