Chapter 153 He's Mine Now
She kept muttering to herself.
His subordinates, however, moved faster and faster.
Two hours later, the iron sheet finally reached the coffin. Su Leyan immediately threw away the iron sheet, carefully removed the soil from the coffin, and used all her strength to push open the coffin lid.
Wen Kehao, who was lying inside, looked rather frightening and smelled terrible. Su Leyan didn't mind at all and went forward to tear open Wen Kehao's clothes. After seeing that there were no signs of rigor mortis on his skin, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You brat, trying to escape? No way! I won't let you die, but even if you do, I'll dig you up and bring you back to life. Once I save you, you won't be the third young master of the Prince of Anshun's mansion, nor will you be any kind of defense commissioner. You'll belong to me, Su Leran."
Her grievances and dejection vanished, and she became radiant.
He scrambled up to get the box, then jumped back into the pit.
He rolled up Wen Kehao's left trouser leg, opened the box, and a bright red worm crawled out of the box. The worm crawled all the way to Wen Kehao's crotch, opened its mouth and bit, until it tore a small hole, and the bright red worm crawled into the hole.
Su Leyan watched as the insects completely disappeared before pulling Wen Kehao's trouser leg down.
"Alright, you brat, let your older sister take you home."
She carried Wen Kehao on her back and struggled to climb out of the pit. Although Wen Kehao, who had died from poisoning, was much lighter, Su Leyan was still a weak woman. She had almost exhausted her strength digging the pit earlier, and after struggling for a long time, she still couldn't climb out.
Panting heavily, Su Leyan was secretly annoyed. She had overestimated her strength and should have brought more tools.
"You brat, are you even a man? I'm already exhausted, and you still expect me to do the work? If you don't step up when it's your turn to do something in the future, I'll make an example of you for the rest of your life..."
She knew that Wen Kehao was completely unable to move and couldn't even hear what she was saying. She was just rambling on and on out of exhaustion, and she didn't expect to get a reply at all.
Unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, a light, airy voice came from above her head.
Do you need help?
Su Leran was so frightened that she almost lost her soul. She had never believed in ghosts or gods, but at this time and place, the voice was inexplicably more terrifying. She protected Wen Kehao behind her with one hand and held onto the piece of iron she had just thrown away with the other, looking up tremblingly.
A man dressed in black, wearing a mask, was looking down at them.
Seeing Su Leran's wary expression, the man ripped off his mask and said coldly, "Doctor Su, when you come to see my third brother, offering an incense stick is enough. Digging up a grave is going too far."
"Young Master Wen! You scared me to death! You appear and disappear so suddenly, it's terrifying. Quickly help me pull him up."
Su Leran was not afraid but happy when she saw Wen Zhiming.
She dug up someone's younger brother's grave, carried his body around, and was caught red-handed. She showed no shame whatsoever and even asked the other party for help.
Wen Zhiming looked down at her and said, "You're too late. My third brother is already dead."
Su Leran shook her head and said seriously.
"Stop talking nonsense. I didn't kill him, so he won't die. Pull me up first."
Wen Zhiming had his doubts, but trusting Su Leran, he still helped her up. After the two of them came up, he took Wen Kehao in his hands. As soon as he took her, he noticed something was wrong. Wen Kehao's body was no longer stiff as before, and it seemed to have regained some warmth.
Even his face regained some color.
"Was that insect a Gu worm?"
Wen Zhiming received the news when Su Leran arrived at Wen Kehao's grave. Hearing it was a woman, he knew it must be Su Leyan.
Wen Zhiming ordered his guards to retreat, remaining hidden in the shadows and watching Su Leyan's every move. He had assumed Su Leyan would either burst into tears, threaten suicide, or simply burn incense and leave.
I never expected that she would dig up graves and steal corpses.
Wen Zhiming initially thought she was heartbroken and wanted to see Wen Kehao one last time. Considering that his third brother was most reluctant to part with Su Leyan when he passed away, he simply watched from the side and did not stop her.
As a result, the woman released insects and tried to take her third brother away.
Watching her jump up and down at the bottom of the pit but unable to climb out, and constantly complaining, even blaming her third brother for not helping.
Wen Zhiming was speechless.
But to his utter surprise, Su Leran actually managed to revive Wen Kehao.
I've heard of many renowned doctors and miracle workers, but I've never seen anyone with the ability to bring the dead back to life.
Recalling Su Leran's actions earlier, Wen Zhiming guessed that the problem must lie with that insect.
“It’s a Gu worm.” Su Leran did not deny it and simply nodded, “And it’s a Gu King. Before my master died, he made me swear that I would never use Gu techniques again, otherwise I would not have a good end. So for many years I have been studying medicine and have not raised Gu worms. This one is a Gu King that my master left me. It has been raised by three generations of Gu masters and there is only one in the world.”
"This Gu is extremely poisonous. But as long as the deceased has been dead for no more than twenty-four hours, it can bring them back to life. It can repair the deceased's body, and after a year of recuperation, it can restore the deceased to their previous healthy state. In addition, I found the Lianzhi Grass, so this brat's life can be saved."
"The Gu King is so magical, but you haven't mentioned it at all before. I suppose there will be other costs to pay for using it."
Wen Zhiming noticed the flickering look in Su Leran's eyes. Although reviving his third brother was indeed a great thing for him, he did not lose his mind because of it.
Su Leran smiled faintly.
“My master warned me repeatedly not to mess with the Gu King, saying the consequences would be extremely serious. But what consequences could be more serious than this? Maybe he will become stupid like you were, maybe his nature will change and he will become cruel and cold-blooded, maybe he will develop other illnesses, and there are many, many possibilities.”
"But what does it matter? As for him still being alive, Wen Kehao of the Anshun Prince's Mansion is now dead. He is now my man, Su Leran. I will take responsibility for the trouble he caused, and I will treat his illness. In short, I saved his life, and I will be responsible for him to the end."
At least he's still alive.
Su Leran's words reminded Wen Zhiming of Meng Lingge. The night before they parted, Meng Lingge's only request of him was that he live well, as long as he lived well.
How fortunate he and his third brother were to have met such pure and sincere girls.
The words of dissuasion were on the tip of my tongue, but when they came out, they turned out to be something else entirely.
“You don’t have the strength to take him away right now, so I’ll have my guards escort you. Also, leave this place to me.”
If the Emperor were to learn that Wen Kehao had come back to life, he would surely hunt him down to the bitter end. He wanted to restore the tomb to its original state so that the Emperor would not suspect anything.
This is the only way to ensure that Su Leyan can safely take her third brother away.
