Chapter 383 Chu Jin's "Shining" Appearance

Xiao Nanyue kept his troops in place and stayed in Qixing Mountain for three days.

During these three days, the soldiers who were poisoned by the Qingwei Gu received timely treatment and were no longer in danger of death. They were sent back to the camp at the foot of the West Mountain in batches.

Xiao Nanyue did not force his way up the mountain again. He just closed his eyes every day to rest and wait quietly for Han Xiao's return.

On the morning of the fourth day, just as the sky was getting light, Han Xiao arrived, exhausted.

Behind him, there were several people following, which was very eye-catching and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The leader was a handsome man in red, who was the Poison King Chu Jin.

The most eye-catching thing was that he had a flowered cloth sling in his arms, tied around his body like a twist, and a fat baby over half a year old was tightly held inside.

The baby was white and chubby, and looked just like a little Chu Jin, except that its big black eyes, which rolled around, looked around with a bit of cunning and cleverness, and had some of Manluo's charm.

At this moment, the little guy was sucking his tender little white fingers, nestled in Chu Jin's arms, his saliva dripping down his chin, soaking a small area of ​​Chu Jin's shirt on his chest.

Coupled with Chu Jin's stern face, the picture was really incongruous.

Behind Chu Jin were several guards including Shi Hun. Each of them was busy, carrying large and small bags in their hands - thermos bottles, flower quilt rolls.

Mo Ren's sharp eyes clearly saw that Shi Hun was holding a bag of diapers embroidered with a tiger head. Seeing that Mo Ren was staring at the diapers, Shi Hun's ears turned slightly red and the hand holding the bag trembled.

What made people laugh even more was that there was a panting wet nurse following Chu Jin's side. She was obviously forcibly brought up the mountain, with a look of fear and reluctance on her face.

It has been a long time since I last saw the Poison King Chu Jin. I didn't expect him to appear in this way. Even Mo Ren, who is always serious, had to force himself to hold back his laughter.

It must be said that Xiao Nanyan's skills are profound. He rolled his eyes at his baby face with a half-smile and stood up to greet him:

"Master Imperial Master, I'm so sorry for not welcoming you so kindly."

Chu Jin snorted coldly and was too lazy to answer.

However, the little baby in his arms suddenly giggled and playfully blew out a saliva bubble when he saw the python pattern on Xiao Nanyue's black robe.

Chu Jin's frozen face instantly melted. He lowered his head and kissed his son's chubby apple cheek. His voice was more gentle than ever before:

"Be good, Yue'er."

Xiao Nanyan rarely put away his edge and looked at the baby with a smile. He imagined his daughter's appearance in his mind. He thought that she must be just as cute. He couldn't help but lower his voice:

"This must be your son. I never knew the Imperial Master was such a good parent."

"Enough of the nonsense. When will we reach the summit?"

Chu Jin immediately regained his stern expression, his brows furrowed tightly.

"We can set off now, but..."

Xiao Nanyan's eyes swept over the doll in Chu Jin's arms:

"Are you sure you want to take your son with you? After all, swords and knives are merciless, and the mountain roads are treacherous..."

"You don't have to worry about it." Chu Jin interrupted him and gently rubbed his son's cheek with his fingers:

"We are the only ones who have one life. I don't feel safe leaving him to anyone. If I can't protect him, what's the point of me living?"

Xiao Nanyan nodded.

He never thought that someone as cold and ruthless as Chu Jin would one day become a "child slave".

Perhaps he was truly afraid that someone would take advantage of the situation to harm the child. Only by keeping the child by his side could he truly feel at ease.

From this point of view, although Chu Jin is vicious, he is loyal to Helian Feng, affectionate and righteous to Manluo, and a good father to his children.

Now, his opinion of Chu Jin has changed. In the future, he can let him go.

Xiao Nanyan curled his lips and smiled:

"Why doesn't the Imperial Master ask me why I haven't been willing to attack the mountaintop for three days?"

Chu Jin said with disdain: "Obviously, you are waiting for me to arrive. You must have encountered a poisonous substance that you cannot solve."

Xiao Nanyan nodded, "That's right. Three days ago, someone released a Green Tail Gu to block the way up the mountain. Does the Imperial Master have any solution?"

"Why is that so difficult?"

Chu Jin tightened his arm around the child slightly, and with his other hand he took out a green porcelain bottle from his pocket.

He pulled out the cork, and a clear medicinal fragrance instantly filled the air. Immediately, a few subtle chirping sounds of insects could be heard from the grass beside the mountain path, as if disturbed by the smell.

"Although the Green Tail Gu is poisonous, it is most afraid of the scent of vanilla. This powder, when blown by the wind, will not only repel the Gu insects but also prevent them from approaching for half an hour. I believe that by that time, your flag will have been hoisted on the peak."

Xiao Nanyan raised his eyebrows:

"The Imperial Master's reputation is truly well-deserved."

"Stop talking nonsense."

A subtle hint of sarcasm flashed across Chu Jin's eyes, and then something occurred to him:

"Someone must have lit the incense to attract the insects. That person must be..."

He paused, his fingers unconsciously stroking his son's soft hair, and then threw the bottle of vanilla powder to Xiao Nanyan:

"Next! With this bottle of powder, it's enough for you to get rid of the Green Tail Gu."

Xiao Nanyan took the powder bottle, handed it to Han Xiao, and turned to ask Chu Jin:

"Then what are you going to do?"

Chu Jin glanced at the dense forests on both sides of the mountain path and said coldly:

"I'll follow the scent of the Gu-inducing incense and pull her out!"
