389. Chapter 389: Really Scheming



Mu Nanjin took the blue box and opened it. "The Immortal Marrow Pill is a good thing. It can not only instantly improve your cultivation, but also cleanse your marrow and strengthen your bones. If you are lucky, it can help your spiritual roots advance. For example, if you have two spiritual roots, you can turn them into one spiritual root, or a single spiritual root into a mutant spiritual root, etc. It also has no side effects. This is a pill that only immortals can refine. How did you get it?"

The following words were directed to Gu Ming, who said, "There are many good things left in Jie Li's body."

"You have picked up a lot of treasures." Mu Nanjin turned to Gong Xiurong and said, "The Immortal Marrow Pill is very suitable for you. You don't need to spend hundreds or thousands of years to cultivate to the Golden Core Stage or the Nascent Soul Stage. However, after you have fully ascended to the realm, you still need to consolidate it."

Gong Xiurong asked: "How can I consolidate it?"

"It means practicing meditation in seclusion to stabilize your realm, which may take a few years or even more than 20 years. You should thank Gu Ming. Not everyone is so generous as to give out the Immortal Marrow Pill to a stranger."

"Okay." Gong Xiurong took the box and bowed to Gu Ming, saying, "Thank you for giving me such a precious Immortal Marrow Pill. If you need anything from me in the future, please let me know."

Gu Ming nodded.

Mu Nanjin took the children aside to open their gifts. Every time they opened a box or bottle, the children exclaimed in surprise. Even Mu Nanjin couldn't help but sigh, "Are these all the good things Jie Li left behind?"

Gu Ming responded: "Yeah."

Gong Xiurong took advantage of the fact that Mu Nanjin and the others were focusing on the gifts, moved to Gu Ming's side, and whispered, "The governor is really scheming."

The Immortal Marrow Pill is indeed a good thing, but it takes time to consolidate one's realm. In this way, he will have no time to get along with Mu Nanjin, and Gu Ming will have time to cultivate feelings with Mu Nanjin. Secondly, Mu Nanjin will have a better impression of Gu Ming.

"Thank you." Gu Ming replied.

Gong Xiurong: "Although your intentions are not pure, I have not lost anything, so I still want to thank you."

Gu Ming raised his eyebrows.

"But don't be too proud too soon. I can see that Mu Nanjin doesn't have any romantic feelings for you at the moment, and he may not fall in love with you when I consolidate my realm."

Gu Ming said calmly: "That's better than having another man by her side competing with me for her."

"That's true, but aren't you worried that I won't leave immediately after taking the pill, and will eat the Immortal Marrow Pill after I get Mu Nanjin's heart?"

Gu Ming looked at him with certainty: "You can't wait."

"Why can't I wait?"

"When a man's cultivation is lower than a woman's, he will feel inferior and feel that he is not worthy of her. Especially when there is a man with the same or stronger cultivation as her, you will be ashamed to stay with her."

Gong Xiurong snorted: "Men really understand men."

"Thank you."

"I won't let you have your way. I will stay here for a while, and then stay with Mu Nanjin to make you feel uncomfortable."

Gu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "When you hold a treasure, it is best to swallow it immediately, otherwise if you 'lose' it, the gain will outweigh the loss."

Gong Xiurong sneered: "As expected of a governor, he is indeed insidious."

"How can I be considered sinister when I'm seeking opportunities for myself? At most, I'm just possessive. If you were me, perhaps your methods would be more 'sinister' than mine."

Gong Xiurong did not deny it: "Okay, I admit defeat. But I just arrived, I have to stay for at least ten days or half a month before leaving, isn't that too much?"

Gu Ming: “…”

"Or do you think I have the ability to capture Mu Nanjin's heart in such a short time?"

Gu Ming sneered: "If you have this ability, you would have obtained it when we were in the same room in the ancient country of Dongzhao."

Gong Xiurong raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you knew that we were in the same room, why didn't you stop it?"

Gu Ming said nothing.

Gong Xiurong looked at him with a sullen face and said, "You weren't in love with Mu Nanjin at that time, were you?"

Gu Ming agreed with his words.

"Tsk, no wonder he's so scheming, turns out he's a latecomer."

Gong Xiurong didn't say much to him. He walked up to the children, squatted down and said, "Little ones, godfather will help you open your presents."

Taotie suddenly raised his head and looked at him.

Gong Xiurong asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Taotie said: "When I heard you mention godfather, I thought of one thing."

"What's up?"

"I remembered that I had a son of my own."

Everyone: “!!!”

Gong Xiurong couldn't help but ask: "You are so young, how can you have a son? Can you give birth to a child?"

"So he's my adopted son."

Baihu was curious: "Where did you get your adopted son?"

Taotie raised his chin proudly: "I adopted him as my adopted son when I was in Wucheng, but I forgot to say goodbye to him when I left. I wonder if he misses me as his godfather."

Chaos asked, "What's your adopted son's name?"

"His name is..." Taotie pondered: "What is his name? I forgot. Every time I saw him, I called him son."

Everyone: “…”

Chaos asked again: "Do you remember where he lives?"

"He probably doesn't live in Wucheng now. He may have come to the capital."

When Taotie was looking for Shu Xiyao, he heard from the elders of the Demon Cult that his adopted son was a Jinyiwei and would return to the capital after some time.

Hun Dun's eyes lit up: "Come to the capital? Then we..."

Before he could finish his words, Xu Bo came over with food: "Master Taotie, Master Xuanwu, the food is here."

Xuanwu: “…”

He doesn't want to eat.

Taotie said excitedly: "There is food to eat."

He rushed to Xu Bo and finished all the food in no time.

Xu Bo said anxiously, "Master Xuanwu hasn't eaten yet, why did you eat all of his portion?"

"He said he didn't want to eat."

Xu Bo asked Xuanwu distressedly: "Really?"

Xuanwu didn't say anything and continued to open the gifts with his head down.

Xu Bo asked in surprise: "Who sent these gifts?"

Chaos said: "My father gave it to me."

Xu Bo glanced at Gu Ming and snorted, "No amount of gifts can make up for the companionship with the child."

Gu Ming nodded: "Uncle Xu is right, so I decided to move in and live with the children."

Mu Nanjin, Gong Xiurong: "..."

[From now on, I will go out and come in together with the handsome governor every day. It seems to be pretty good, hehe. 】

Gong Xiurong rolled his eyes.

So shameless.

"Really?" Xu Bo said happily, "I'll go clean up the room now."

He ran a few steps outside, but then thought about it and felt that it was wrong, so he turned back: "I think it's not right. Now that everyone doesn't know that you and the girl are married, it will be bad for her reputation if you move in and live with her for a long time. It's better to wait until you explain your affairs to everyone before moving in with a legitimate reason."

Gu Ming nodded in agreement: "Uncle Xu is right. I will slowly explain our situation to everyone."

Gong Xiurong walked up to Mu Nanjin and asked in a low voice, "Are you really letting him live here as your husband?"

Mu Nanjin said: "It's probably difficult."

Gong Xiurong raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

"The children still have a biological father."

Gong Xiurong asked curiously, "Who?"

"National Master."

Gong Xiurong burst out laughing: "National Master, that's great."

The national teacher is not as easy to deal with as him.

Gu Ming: “…”

Please give me a monthly ticket. Please give me a monthly ticket.
