The vendor sneaked a glance at Yu Longting and slyly pulled out a photograph, handing it to Zhuzi, "You have a bias, looking down on the backwardness of the Living Miao Village. On the night of the full moon, Lord Dragon God was in the Barbarian Village, triggering a Celestial Omen!"
"Holy... holy shit, this is Photoshopped, right? The sky is full of silver light!! No, no, no, the entire Barbarian Village is enveloped in silver light." After looking at the photograph, the middle-aged man known as Zhuzi's serious expression shattered, and he blurted out a curse.
The vendor rolled his eyes, "People from the Miao Village know how to Photoshop? It's good they could even take a picture with a cell phone."
"That's true, then I really have offended..." Zhuzi looked up, fearfully glancing towards Yu Longting.
Yu Longting, under the cold moonlight, stood tall, like a god of indifference and distance.
He was high above, worthy of worship, possessing a majesty that forbade direct gaze.
Zhuzi looked up at him quaking in fear and swallowed, "Granny Long... Granny Long has gone to Tianying Mountain Miao Village."
"Why on earth did she go to the Yan Family Miao Village?" Yu Longting demanded coldly.
Zhuzi thought for a moment and confessed truthfully, "It seems... she met a girl named Su Wan and felt a strong affinity for her, a Gu Speaker who appears once in hundreds of years. Granny said... she wanted to visit an old acquaintance, and it seems Chief Yan is that girl's Uncle Lord, right??"
"Because she saw me? To find my Uncle Lord? I have such a relative." I pointed to myself, looking at Yu Longting with great surprise.
So, it was because of me that Granny Long wasn't around.
This unexpected... ah... ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel-fire.ɴet
Yu Longting nodded, "Your maternal grandfather's wife, from Yan Hua's maternal family."
He actually understood human relationships very well, just as within the Lin Family, Yan Hua did not acknowledge me and her attitude towards me was also poor.
So he did not refer to Yan Hua as my grandmother but rather as my maternal grandfather's wife.
Zhuzi's eyes almost bulged out in surprise, blurting out, "My goodness, you... you're Su Wan?"
"Stop asking so many questions. How long has Granny Long been away?" Yu Longting's icy gaze seemed to bore through Zhuzi's forehead.
"She... she... she... has been gone for quite a few days, that place is very remote, but... the Gu Poison on Madam..."
"Gu Poison what? Don't you know that speaking half-truths could get you killed?" Yu Longting's murderous aura surged towards Zhuzi like a raging storm.
Zhuzi, who was originally quite spirited, now looked up to Yu Longting with both respect and fear, shaking all over, crawling on the ground, "I know, I know... I think..."
It was indeed pitiful, a sturdy man frightened to the point where he couldn't even put together a coherent sentence.
The more scared he was, the less he could speak, and the less he could speak, the more scared he became.
Unable to bear watching this scene, I pulled at the hem of Yu Longting's clothes and coyly stood in front of him.
Blocking the innate, terrifying murderous aura emanating from him, I spoke gently to Zhuzi, "Uncle Zhuzi, you just speak your mind, I assure you the Dragon God will not take his anger out on you."
"Okay, okay! Thank Lady Dragon God for your compassion." Zhuzi wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and finally found his voice smoother, "With my years of experience in Gu Raising, the hairpin on your head can only suppress it for Twelve Hours, and after Twelve Hours, the fetus in your belly will become a Walking Corpse."
In other words, there was no solution within a single day.
Will turn into a Walking Corpse...
My heart, like a pomegranate peeled open, shattered into pieces, too painful for words, and I asked earnestly, "Then... Since you are so proficient in Gu Art, can you remove Gu? If you can remove Gu, could you please lend a hand?"
