Chapter 407: 407: Don’t Leave
Again (Part 9)_1
He regretted not being able to personally slay his nesis in his life, and this cowardice gnawed at his heart like a hundred ants. Even when awake, the tornt continued...
"Liang Zhi Chen, Liang Zhi Chen?"
Suddenly, soone gently slapped his cheek, and he stared blankly at the person. A ray of sunshine caught his eye, and he seed to see a girl with worry on her face.
"Baobao..."
He rembered that bizarre dream where, within the dream, the girl had long been dead, perishing in a landslide, her body only discovered after a long, long ti. Later, a woman ca to him, claiming to be surnad Yun. She asked if he had ever taken Shu Yu to dicine Valley to seek dical help and whether he had brought seven Purple chervil grasses with him, and also inquired where he had learned about the Purple chervil grass...
After a long ti, he finally learned the truth buried underground.
The woman surnad Yun stood under a pear tree in the mountains, right when the pear blossoms were in full bloom. She dug out an iron box from under the tree which contained several bottles and jars, as well as a letter.
"Baobao..."
Liang Zhi Chen gazed at the girl in front of him, his mind muddled for a mont.
Indeed, it was just a dream, so why was he so heart-wrenchingly agitated?
The girl was still alive, not like in the dream. She had not died in the landslide.
Yet why did he dream of these strange and bizarre things? It was as if he had lived another life in those dreams...
Dong Huiying was a bit worried for Liang Zhi Chen, but he waved his hand, indicating he was not seriously hard. He then looked around, his eyes filled with confusion.
"What happened to ?" His body was covered with many wounds, and, uncharacteristically, Zhi Chen showed an almost blank expression.
Shujun, Haoming, and Yue Ning imdiately told their eldest brother what had happened before.
When Yue Ning ntioned the ’golden bean,’ Zhi Chen suddenly froze: "Golden bean?"
Dong Huiying’s brows knit tightly.
"How did you get poisoned with the Devouring God Gu?" She cared deeply about this.
Logically, only she had been struck by this poison, so how did Zhi Chen end up with a Young Gu in his body?
Rarely did Liang Zhi Chen show an embarrassed look on his face. He had a suspicion in his mind, but he also knew the gravity of the situation.
He cleared his throat, and then spoke in an indifferent tone, "Do you rember that day when your Gu poison acted up and you were buried in the cave? You had sustained serious injuries..."
He recalled that day, how she was unconscious and couldn’t swallow on her own, so to feed her the dicine, he...
"That day, Zhi Chen accidentally ingested a drop of your blood, and your blood..."
He frowned slightly, "was like berry juice. If I’m not mistaken, the Devouring God Gu that you extracted from
originated like this."
Dong Huiying was stunned!
...
Zhi Chen, feeling drained, soon fell asleep.
Dong Huiying fiddled with her bottles and jars, recalling how Yixuan had once also gone mad after inadvertently ingesting her blood.
But what was strange... back then, Yixuan had not been infected by the Gu, so why did the sa thing happen to Zhi Chen, resulting in a Gu infection?
Could it be because the Devouring God Gu in her skull had been restricted and unable to reproduce? Or was it that she had ingested a lot of Gu Poison at that ti, which led to a butterfly effect?
Liang Shujun quietly ca up behind her. Slipping his hands beneath her armpits, he embraced her from behind.
"Baobao?"
He gently nuzzled her shoulder with his chin, expecting so sort of reaction, even if she were to push him away or scold him – after all, she was thin-skinned.
