Chapter 464: Chapter 323: Hooded Man with a Blunt Weapon

Seeing the smile on his wife’s face, Si Xi unconsciously took a step back.

Xiao Leizi’s admonition still rang in his ears: whenever his wife smiled like that, it meant someone was about to suffer!

Please, not him! Please not him!

Si Xi was screaming inside!

"Gather up the dead bugs on the ground and burn them, don’t let me see them again, they’re so damn disgusting I might puke!" Gu Changsheng said while propping his chin and staring intensely at Huo Shuixian, he waved his hand at Si Xi, "Really worried I might not feel like eating tomorrow..."

Upon hearing this, Si Xi’s face instantly turned ashen...

Those were Gu insects!

Even if they were dead! Weren’t they still Gu insects?

In the Four Kingdoms, who wouldn’t change color at the mention of them?

Si Xi was still somewhat scared at heart!

"Wife..." Si Xi looked at his wife pleadingly, stammering out a call.

Gu Changsheng turned his head upon hearing this, a trace of confusion flashed across his face, "Hm?"

Si Xi struggled as he looked at the dead Gu insects scattered on the ground, his eyes spoke volumes.

Gu Changsheng was thoroughly insightful, catching the meaning from just that look, she instantly became displeased, dismissively sweeping her eyes over him, "Si Xi, you’ve followed the evildoer through battles in the north and south, what big scenes haven’t you seen? Are you saying you’re afraid of these dead things, dare to try?"

Damn, these dead little threads on the ground, they’re safer and more harmless than caterpillars, okay?

All stiff as corpses, what’s there to be scared of?

The image of Xiao Si Xi, young yet capable of everything, suddenly collapsed in Gu Changsheng’s heart!

Her Xiao Si Xi was good in the hall, competent in the kitchen, skilled in combat, strong in martial arts, but... but damn afraid of bugs!

Such a disappointment! This was truly too disappointing!

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but shake her head in disappointment!

People! Indeed, no one is perfect, even Emperor Qianlong, the man of perfection, wasn’t truly flawless. To indulge and nurture the wicked is one thing, but to also be a consummate spendthrift?

So, Si Xi’s little flaw, Gu Changsheng felt, though disappointing, was still reluctantly acceptable!

Seeing his wife shaking her head in disappointment, a surge of courage suddenly rose in Si Xi’s heart!

Even if he was afraid of bugs! Afraid of Gu insects!

Now he dared not say so!

He absolutely couldn’t let his wife be disappointed!

Thus, Si Xi nodded resolutely and resignedly went outside to fetch a broom!

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "The child can indeed be taught!"

Upon hearing this, Si Xi instantly felt depressed!

Actually... he really wanted to be the uncarvable rotten wood, the mud that couldn’t support a wall!

But under the tyranny of his wife, he had the will but not the courage...

Gu Changsheng, propping his chin, looked Huo Shuixian up and down carefully, then suddenly pinched her wrist...

"Only by using one’s body as a cauldron for Gu cultivation could one defy fate and obtain such powerful Inner Strength... Now that the Gu insects are all gone, Huo Shuixian will henceforth have no Inner Strength, nor Gu insects to rely on..." Saying this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but shake her head.

"Wife, what’s there to regret? Huo Shuixian has always been a venomous and evil person, she’s certainly no kind soul. She deserved such an end!" After cleaning up the Gu insects, Si Xi had just turned around when he heard his wife’s words and immediately responded.

Gu Changsheng glared at him instantly, "Which of your eyes saw me feeling regret? Even if I felt regret, it definitely wouldn’t be for Huo Shuixian! The regret I have is for the loss of her profound Inner Strength!"

"Damn it! If I had such Inner Strength, would I even have any rivals in this world? Alas! Alas, perfect things are hard to achieve; not to mention using my body as a cauldron for Gu cultivation, even if you asked me to nourish Gu with Essence Blood, I wouldn’t do it!"

Upon hearing this, Si Xi immediately laughed, "Even without Inner Strength, you, wife, are hardly rivaled in this world! Why bother envying others? Futu Demoness and Huo Shuixian might have high Inner Strength, but in the end, they were defeated by your hand, weren’t they?"

Gu Changsheng heard this and shook her head noncommittally.

Her battles with Futu Demoness and Huo Shuixian were won by her fearlessness of Gu insects!

Thinking about this, Gu Changsheng’s brows slightly furrowed...

"Wife?" Si Xi saw his wife frowning and called out worriedly.

Gu Changsheng snapped back to reality upon hearing him, waved her hand at Si Xi to indicate it was nothing, then turned to look at Huo Shuixian and raised her eyebrows, "This little bitch has come to find trouble with me repeatedly, even coveting my life, she truly deserved to die!"

"Yes, yes!" Si Xi hurriedly nodded.

"But the evildoer finds her useful, since I promised not to kill her now, I will certainly not go back on my word!" Gu Changsheng said this with a cold laugh, "Death sentence may be spared, but she can’t escape punishment. I must at least vent this anger in my heart first!"

"Xiao Si Xi, do you know how to do the sack and cudgel trick? If you do, go find a sack and a wooden stick!"

"This Si Xi’s ready to go!" Si Xi happily answered and darted toward the outside in a flash.

Gu Changsheng leisurely found a chair to sit on. He lifted his left hand and looked at his injured fingertip, muttering in confusion, "Why is that? Why am I not afraid of Gu insects? Why do Gu insects rush towards my blood like spears but die upon contact?"

Si Xi doesn’t question anything, probably thinking that her immersion in medicine and her unique constitution is normal.

But Gu Changsheng is different; she’s a doctor, and she understands clearly that although her body has resistance against herbs, it definitely doesn’t include resistance against Gu insects!

The Gu insects in Huo Shuixian’s body, sensing the scent of her blood, gave a sensation of a sudden intense wriggling as if thrown into flames. Gu Changsheng clearly remembered those Gu insects rushing towards their deaths like moths to a flame, as if... as if it were a sacrifice...

Gu Changsheng furrowed her brows, deeply puzzled, thinking Damn it, I just can’t figure it out, can I?

In the eyes of the people of this nation, two things are most mysterious: the witchery of Bashu and the Gu of Miaojiang...

And witchcraft and Gu have always been intertwined. Encountering such fantastical events, Gu Changsheng, who steadfastly believed in atheism, felt doubly confused and completely muddled...

"Wife, I’ve got the sack!" Si Xi returned zestfully, eager to try, "Wife, you don’t know, when Si Xi was younger, my father always stopped me from joining him in battle, always assigning me small tasks like catching bandits or chasing criminals. This blindfold sack thing, Si Xi is really good at it!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng put away the confusion on her face and rolled her eyes at Si Xi, "What do you mean you were young? As if you’re not young now!"

"I..." Si Xi wanted to retort upon hearing this.

He was pretty old now, nearly fifteen, alright!

"Alright, alright! Since you’re good at this sack thing, then go give that bitch a good beating! You know which spots hurt the most without me teaching, right?" Gu Changsheng waved her hand toward Huo Shuixian and raised her eyebrow.

"Got it, got it!" Si Xi instantly responded cheerfully.

"Then what are you waiting for? Get to it!" Gu Changsheng saw Si Xi’s overly proud demeanor and glared at him with annoyance.

"Aye! Just watch!" Si Xi answered and immediately pounced on the unconscious Huo Shuixian, his moves incredibly swift!

Gu Changsheng sat leisurely, watching Si Xi’s actions, her lips curling slightly.

In this world, those who offend Gu Changsheng will never have a good outcome!

If Huo Shuixian’s relentless pursuit was intimidating, then Gu Changsheng’s relentless pursuit was genuinely unstoppable!

She didn’t have a malicious intent to harm others, but she wouldn’t allow anyone to harm her either!

She cherished every life, but wouldn’t let anyone treat her life as worthless!

Call her cruel or a murderer if you will!

Huo Shuixian, she would eventually kill, irrespective of her prime youth or anything else!

To Gu Changsheng, Huo Shuixian was essentially a dead person; her only reason for being alive now was because the evildoer still found her useful!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The moderate sound of a wooden stick striking down, Gu Changsheng knew clearly that Si Xi was hitting the most vulnerable parts of the human body.

For someone trained in martial arts, they understand all too well where the most pain-sensitive parts of the body are...

"Wife, if you want to vent some anger, why don’t you give it a couple of hits?" Si Xi said while swinging his stick precisely at Huo Shuixian’s thigh, even though it was behind a sack, the hits were still incredibly fast, accurate, and ruthless!

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng scoffed, "I’d rather not! Hitting people is wrong! Especially someone as delicate and beautiful as*****! I won’t be that Spicy Hand Flower Destroyer!"

She’d rather be a Spicy Hand Flower Bender!

Gu Changsheng added in her mind!

Si Xi paused, and his face instantly darkened.

So the wrong person was him, Si Xi? The unethical Spicy Hand Flower Destroyer was also him, Si Xi?

"Wife, that’s not fair..." Si Xi complained bitterly; his wife’s words almost made him unable to continue.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng smirked and said cheerfully, "Keep hitting! You can’t be dozing off when beating someone! Huo Shuixian is devious and strikes viciously; you could consider this as eliminating a harm for the people, go for it! Your wife here supports you!"

Upon hearing that, Si Xi was instantly revitalized! He immediately swung his stick again towards the sack, muttering as he moved.

"I’ll teach you for always bothering my wife!"

"I’ll teach you for sending that Old Demoness, the Futu Demoness! I’ll avenge Tan Nv and Princess Nian and us too!"

"Vicious and venomous woman! See if I don’t beat you!"

"..."

As Si Xi got more enthusiastic with his beating, seeing Huo Shuixian’s energy in the sack already weakening, Gu Changsheng quickly called out to stop, "Enough! Now that she’s lost her Inner Strength, if you keep hitting her, she might die!"

Hearing this, Si Xi’s face turned sullen as he stopped his hands, grumbling dissatisfiedly, "Wife, you’re just too kind!"

At this, Gu Changsheng immediately glared, "Cut the crap about being kind; being kind, that excellent quality, my old lady has nothing to do with it for generations! If anyone’s protecting Huo Shuixian’s life, it’s your grandpa! I’m certainly not being unnecessarily kind!"
