Chapter 369 The Holy Son of Miao Territory Has Bewitched by the Villainous Cult Leader 07
(What I wrote yesterday is in this chapter)
Why do they all have to treat him like this? These days, it's really not easy to earn money. He's only in his early twenties, but he's already worrying like a mother.
“Brother Miao Jiang, you’re just too worried. The Holy Son’s martial arts are mysterious and unpredictable. He seems to have improved a lot recently. I think there’s no one in the world he can’t beat,” A Zi proudly praised her Holy Son.
Miao Jiang shook her head in disagreement, "There are still some. Even Gu Shixian, the leader of the Xianri Sect who is close to Jiangnan, is a martial arts genius who comes along only once in a century. I heard that he slaughtered the Red Lotus Manor today. As long as the Holy Son doesn't accidentally provoke him, it will be fine."
However, Miao Jiang did not expect that not only had his holy son provoked him, but he had also deliberately delivered himself to his doorstep.
"So what if Gu Shixian is a martial arts genius? My Holy Son can even practice Gu poison. If the Holy Son were to cast a love Gu on him, even if he were the leader of the Demonic Sect, he would still listen to the Holy Son obediently."
In any case, in the eyes of the two little girls, their Holy Son is the most powerful.
No arguments allowed! Their Holy Son is the most powerful! That Gu Shixian is nothing! (｀へ′)
"You two...sigh~" Miao Jiang sighed helplessly.
Ah Lü and Ah Zi, these two little girls, have been with their Holy Son since they were little, and they have been spoiled by him to the point that they are practically lawless.
He can't believe he can even say such things now. Luckily, before he came back, he made sure there were no spies from the Sun-Embracing Cult in the inn. Otherwise, based on what those two little girls said today, this matter would not have ended well.
Miao Jiang knew that A-Lu and A-Zi were young, so she patiently explained the seriousness of the problem.
“It’s fine to say such things in our own territory, but we are on their land now. Walls have ears, and it would be bad if this caused trouble for the Holy Son.”
The two girls exchanged a glance and tilted their heads. "But... Brother Miao Jiang, aren't all the people around here ours?"
Miao Jiang's eyes widened. "How did you know?!"
“That’s what the Holy Son said! The Holy Son said that they were all secret guards sent by several elders to protect us. The Holy Son also said that they were so well disguised that he recognized them at a glance.”
Miao Jiang: "..."
To be honest, he truly lives up to his reputation as their holy son.
Actually, there's something that A-Lu and A-Zi haven't told each other yet.
They thought that their holy son might have already set his sights on the leader of the Sun-Supporting Cult.
After all, before they were allowed to come to the Central Plains, the two of them had already clearly identified the portraits of various martial arts masters in the Central Plains, and Gu Shixian's portrait was naturally among them.
And it's the most eye-catching one.
Because Gu Shixian is good-looking, just as good-looking as their Holy Son, but naturally, he's a tiny bit less handsome than their Holy Son.
The world is vast, but their holy son is the greatest.
The two little girls naturally remembered that their holy son had said he was going to find his "future husband" before he left.
Think about it carefully.
So it turns out their holy son likes men.
Although it might be a bit unfriendly to other men in the world to say this, to be honest, apart from their Holy Son, A-Lu and A-Zi think that Gu Shi-Xuan is the most handsome.
They knew that their Holy Son was not blind, and that their Holy Son would never leave Jiangnan. Moreover, they noticed that the direction Yu Sheng had left in was the same direction as the Red Lotus Manor.
Combined with Miao Jiang's revelation that Gu Shixian had slaughtered the Red Lotus Manor at noon that day, they guessed that their Holy Son most likely had his eye on Gu Shixian.
However, it's best not to tell Miao Jiang about this. He's someone highly regarded by the elders, and they might badmouth their Holy Son.
The two of them, without thinking, kept their suspicions to themselves.
They believed that it wouldn't be long before their holy son would be able to marry the leader of the Sun-Sweeping Cult and bring him back to Miao territory.
The Miao people are skilled in Gu magic, and it is generally passed down to women, not men. If a Miao woman has a crush on someone, she will plant a love Gu in him, regardless of whether he likes it or not.
Although their Holy Son was an accident, they felt that, based on their understanding of their Holy Son, he would definitely use a love potion.
It has to be said that my holy son and Gu Shixian are a perfect match, both talented and handsome. They would be such a sight to behold if they were together!

Gu Shixian was a light sleeper and didn't sleep much, so he woke up before dawn.
Of course, I was woken up by the heat.
Gu Shixian suddenly opened his eyes. After realizing that someone was beside him, he couldn't control his killing intent. His right hand instinctively wanted to grab the neck of the person next to him, but he stopped in mid-air.
He looked down and then remembered that he seemed to have agreed to let Yu Sheng sleep in the same bed with him last night.
Feeling the body temperature of the person next to him, Gu Shixian felt hot all over, as if the heat from Yu Sheng's body had been transferred to him.
What's worse, Yu Sheng seemed a little uneasy in her sleep. She turned over and snuggled into his arms, hugging his waist, and found a safe and comfortable spot in his embrace to continue sleeping.
Gu Shixian's breath hitched.
He had never slept so intimately in the same bed with anyone before, and for a moment he didn't push Yu Sheng away.
Perhaps, deep down, he also longed for this brief moment of tenderness.
Gu Shixian was startled by his own thoughts. He had intended to move away little by little, but Yu Sheng had no intention of giving him that chance.
The sound of silver bells rang out, and Gu Shixian watched as Yu Sheng's legs wrapped around his waist and abdomen, clinging to him tightly and refusing to let go.
Gu Shixian was a little unhappy.
Is he really that trusting of people?
Has he been this intimate with other people as well?
Gu Shixian thought about it more and more, and didn't realize from beginning to end that he was jealous.
However, he let Yu Sheng do as she pleased.
He's sleepy too, so he might as well sleep a little longer...
888: Ha! An excuse! You just want to stay in the same bed with Sheng Sheng, you like him, and you were just jealous!
When Yu Sheng woke up, she was "surprised" to find herself sleeping in Gu Shixian's arms, being held tightly in his embrace.
"Master Gu, what is this...?"
Gu Shixian was startled awake by his words, and then he realized that he had been holding Yu Sheng tightly in his arms without even realizing it.
Gu Shixian: "..."
He shoved Yu Sheng away abruptly, and perhaps because he used too much force, he also fell off the bed at the same time.
The commotion drew a large crowd to the doorway, all craning their necks to peer through the cracks.
"Master, has something happened to you and your wife?" came the voice of the Grand Elder from outside the door.
"Master, please say something! If you don't speak, we're coming in..."
Gu Shixian's face darkened further, and he roared, "Get out of here—"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Gu Shixian could vaguely hear the crickets chirping softly outside the door from the elders.
"The cult leader is so angry, could it be because his wife didn't satisfy him last night?"
“Very likely. After all, he’s an old man who’s never tasted meat before, and he won’t be satisfied easily,” the elder said, stroking his beard with an air of profound mystery.
Those around him gave him strange looks. "Elder, how do you know so much? Could it be that you also..."
"Go away, what are you thinking about? I'm a doctor, I've seen all sorts of things. If I didn't know this, then I wouldn't be a doctor at all."
The voices of the group grew softer and softer, but how could Gu Shixian, who had practiced martial arts since childhood, not hear them?
His face darkened further, suppressing the urge to beat his group of idiots to death, and he looked helplessly at the aggrieved Yu Sheng on the bed.
"Gu Shixian, you were the one who couldn't help but hug me, so why are you turning your back on me now that you're awake?"
Yu Sheng's voice choked with emotion as she looked at him, her eyes slightly red.
Yu Sheng finally couldn't hold back and cautiously asked, "Gu Shixian, do you really hate me that much?"
To anyone who saw him, this appearance conveyed a sense of deep affection and unrequited love for Gu Shixian, a humble and pitiful sight.
Of course, Gu Shixian is an exception.
He naturally didn't think Yu Sheng would fall for a stranger he'd only known for a day.
Moreover, he knew Yu Sheng's background all too well.
How could someone as ruthless as him possibly ask, with pitiful red eyes, if he hates him?
"Of course I do..." Gu Shixian changed the subject, "Of course I don't dislike you."
Yu Sheng's eyes lit up. "Really? Then why did you push me away just now?"
"Although I don't hate you, I don't like you either, Yu Sheng. What do you want from me? I don't believe that a person can fall in love with a stranger in just one day."
Gu Shixian always liked to follow his heart when doing things.
His inner voice prevented him from saying, "Of course I hate you."
But he felt that he didn't like Yu Sheng either.
It's more like admiration than genuine appreciation, since they're birds of a feather.
Yu Sheng: When you describe yourself like this, please don't include me, thank you.
"I'm innocent, Gu Shixian! What could I possibly want from you? Of course, I want you as a person. In other words, I fell in love with you at first sight."
