"Sir, is there any snow orchid fruit available?"
Upon seeing Gu Muchen emerge from the main hall, a man dressed as a general and clad in armor stepped forward and asked.
Gu Muchen did not answer him, but kept a calm face, his eyes revealing a crazy and stubborn look. He looked at the person in front of him and said softly, "Prepare to return to the capital in triumph."
"……yes!"
The man clasped his hands in a fist salute and responded. Facing Gu Muchen, whose expression was inscrutable, he dared not utter another word and immediately relayed the order.
It seems they didn't get the Snow Orchid Fruit. Otherwise, Gu Muchen wouldn't have that expression. It looks like someone's going to suffer.
Who knew... that it wasn't just one person who suffered, but the entire world.
...
The royal palace of the Qi Kingdom.
Luo Jiu suffered from the Gu worms day and night. Even with the most expensive medicines to keep her alive, she still visibly lost a lot of weight.
Si Nanyin probably truly hated Luo Jiu to the core, tormenting her every moment.
Rong Yu devoted himself to caring for Luo Jiu, his heart and soul working tirelessly day after day without fail. His already frail body was now even more strained, his face turning pale. Yue Ying had no doubt that if she wasn't careful, Rong Yu might one day fall into a permanent sleep.
I heard that Gu Muchen has already attacked the Southern Kingdom's main hall. Now, the only hope is that Gu Muchen will bring back the Snow Orchid Fruit, so that Luo Jiu might have a chance to survive.
"Young Master Rongyu, this is a letter sent by the Regent from the front lines at breakneck speed."
Eunuch Li snatched the letter from the guard and immediately handed it to Rong Yu.
Rong coughed twice, then handed over the letter. He read the contents carefully. His eyes widened in disbelief, and he was speechless for a long time.
After regaining his senses, he coughed violently, as if he had coughed up his lungs. His eyes glazed over, and he instantly fell into a coma.
"Young master! Young master!"
Eunuch Li stepped forward and called to Rong Yu, who had just fallen into a coma. Yueying picked up the letter that had fallen to her feet, and tears fell like soybeans, soon soaking a large part of the letter.
After receiving this news, Rong Yu never stepped out of her room again. She searched through all the ancient books, hoping to find a way to cure the Heart-Binding Gu.
Aside from a daily bowl of his heart's blood, he never saw him again, not even after Gu Muchen returned to the capital in triumph.
...
Gu Muchen, dressed in military uniform, stepped into Luo Jiu's palace. He lifted the bed curtains and saw that the person he had been longing for was fast asleep.
"Xiao Jiu, I'm back... I'm sorry, I didn't bring back any snow orchid fruit..." Gu Muchen's tone was full of tenderness and affection.
After saying that, he reached out to touch her. But he found that she was still wearing thick armor, which was covered with the smell of blood and sweat.
Xiao Jiu is so clean; if I touch her, she might wake up and make a scene.
With a helpless smile, he said gently, "I know you're a clean person... Your Royal Uncle was in such a hurry that he hasn't had time to change his clothes yet. I'll come see Xiao Jiu after I've cleaned myself up."
Gu Muchen briefly washed himself in Luo Jiu's pool, his long, black hair still untouched, before rushing off to Luo Jiu's palace.
"Little Jiu, your royal uncle has washed up."
Gu Muchen, dressed only in a white undergarment, sat on the edge of the bed, his gentleness almost overwhelming.
Shou Sheng lifted Luo Jiu's slender, fair hand and stroked it against her face, whispering, "Little Jiu, when can you wake up...? Please give me a dream for your royal uncle... Otherwise, I don't know what I might do..."
"Or, let the whole world be destroyed with you... What do you think, Xiao Jiu?"
After saying that, a hint of madness and obsession flashed in Gu Muchen's eyes.
