Rong Yu, holding the processed bone flute and wearing gloves, stepped out of the room for the first time in many days.
Before leaving, he made a special effort to dress up, hoping that when Luo Jiu opened her eyes and saw him, she would be as serene and beautiful as when she first met him.
Actually, the method to treat Luo Jiu is just as described in the ancient books; it only requires a special bone flute. The reason I lied to Gu Muchen, asking him to find those herbs, was actually for my own selfish reasons. I wanted Luo Jiu to wake up and see me as the first person she saw.
After this ordeal, Rongyu, who was already frail and sickly, didn't have much time left. Hopefully, what remains in her heart is the best version of her from the very beginning.
Luo Jiu took her medicine this morning and is currently fast asleep.
Rong Yu placed his hand on Luo Jiu's face, gently stroking it, his eyes revealing his longing and reluctance.
Once I wake up, Xiao Jiu will belong to someone else, and I will no longer have the right or reason to touch you.
Little Jiu, do you know how many times I've wanted to hide you away? To keep you from everyone else, to make you belong only to me. But what right do I have? After acquiring this broken body, I've even lost the right to compete with him.
So, all I can do is quietly watch over you from behind. I hope you are free from illness and disaster, and live a peaceful and joyful life. But no matter what happens to you, if you turn around, I will always be there within your sight.
Rong Yu lowered his hand, closed his eyes, and slowly raised the bone flute to his lips. His breath emanated from the flute, producing a crisp, somewhat eerie sound.
Upon hearing the flute music, Luo Jiu began to vibrate, as if unbearably itchy, scratching herself frantically. She was held down by Yueying beside her, and began to struggle again.
The whistle continued, and it began to mix with sounds of objects climbing and wriggling, which sent chills down one's spine.
The Gu worms were attracted by the flute music and began to crawl towards it. From Luo Jiu's chest, to her arms, to her fingers.
Finally, it broke through its skin and fell to the ground.
It was a completely black Gu worm, now mixed with Luo Jiu's blood, appearing red and black, about the size of a thumb, with several small claws. It seemed to have a pair of thin, cicada-wing-like wings on its back, but it was currently unable to lift them due to the blood pressure and was flailing around in place.
Rong Yu played the bone flute while giving the page a meaningful look. The page understood, took out a black wooden bowl, and slowly approached the Gu worm…
Li Gonggong and Yueying, who were watching from the sidelines, dared not utter a sound, for fear of disturbing the Gu worm. Luo Jiu's ordeal these past few days had made them wary of this tiny creature. Only after the page captured the Gu worm did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
[Master, Master! Wake up!]
[If the male lead doesn't wake up soon, he's going to destroy the world!]
Luo Jiu, in her slumber, exists in a state of chaos. Here, she cannot see ahead, nor perceive the outside world. All she sees is darkness, trapped in this small, confined space. Luo Jiu does not know who she is, what time it is, or where she is.
Just then, I was awakened by 007's voice after a long time, and struggled to open my eyes.
Looking up, I saw a bright yellow bed curtain. Why was I here? This wasn't my home; it was all so strange.
And this man in front of me is kind of handsome! He's just too thin, and he's lame... Why does he look so familiar...?
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you're awake!" Yueying said, her eyes swollen and her voice trembling with tears.
