Cang Mu spoke softly: "Have you ever heard that in Nanyuan, if someone falls in love with her, they will use a love potion on her to lure her home?"
"You mean you used a love potion on me? When did this happen?!" How come I had no idea?"
Cang Mu did not speak again.
Wan Ge only found out much later that this man had cast a love spell on her the moment they met.
She truly loved him, but he didn't see it that way; he just felt that the love potion had worked.
Moreover, Wan Ge also learned from Cang Lan that, normally, love curses would make the person who cast them increasingly fond of the curse.
Wan Ge knew about this, but she didn't need the other party to untie her. She knew that Cang Mu lacked confidence in himself, so if she didn't untie it, he wouldn't have any worries.
Since that's the case, let him keep the Gu on himself. That way, he won't overthink things and will be very happy.
…
Cang Mu also kept his promise and would take her back to Beige every year to see her uncle.
General Chu, who was over seventy years old, looked at them and felt a little puzzled.
It suddenly reminded him of more than ten years ago when Wan Ge held up a golden butterfly, saying it was a longevity gu that could extend his lifespan.
But General Chu refused. He didn't need something so rare, and besides, his grandson was about to be born, so he, an old man, didn't care about such things anymore. Moreover, he was already very happy to have lived to this age.
Having witnessed death so often, I've become much more accepting of it.
…
Later, on the streets of Beige, Wan Ge and Cang Mu were shopping when they suddenly encountered the emperor's procession.
Wan Ge, standing to the side, glanced at the scene. The man in the sedan chair looked middle-aged. Ji Yuan, however, due to the Longevity Gu, appeared to be only in her early twenties, and with her deliberate attire, she resembled a pretty young girl.
But the person closest to Ye Kaifan wasn't her. There was another girl by Ye Kaifan's side. She wasn't particularly pretty, but Ye Kaifan seemed to treat her quite well.
Ye Kaifan seemed to sense something as well, and subconsciously looked in her direction. Two people with such outstanding looks were naturally easy to spot.
But the moment Ye Kaifan looked at her, Wan Ge had already turned her head away.
Ye Kaifan's expression was particularly complicated, and his eyes revealed an unconcealable sense of loss. Ji Yuan glanced at him but said nothing.
I once thought this man would love me forever. But I never imagined that even when I'm old and faded, he would never love only me again.
…
Cang Mu watched the woman carefully selecting items for him, a faint smile playing on his lips. While Wan Ge was intently looking at the things, Cang Mu's eyes were fixed on her.
In the end, Wan Ge chose a rather strange little jar, but it looked quite nice.
"Why did you buy this?" Cang Mu asked, puzzled. The gift she gave him wasn't jewelry, just some pretty little jars.
Wan Ge replied softly, "I can put Gu worms in your body later."
After Cang Mu was able to practice Gu, she would still practice it occasionally, but the direction of her practice became increasingly strange. Many of the Gu worms seemed to be trying to please her and make her happy.
Cang Mu suddenly asked, "So, will you practice Gu with me from now on?"
Is it difficult?
"It's not difficult."
"Since that's the case, I'll give it a try."
Later, Wan Ge discovered that what he said about it not being difficult was all a lie.
——
①I don't care why you love me, as long as you love me.
②You'll never know that besides Gu magic, I also know witchcraft. My witchcraft can predict the future, and my future is you.
③ It's not that I don't want to be honest with you, it's just that I love you, so I hope that I will always be a good person in your heart.
—Cangmu
