Mu Run dared not hesitate any longer and placed Tuantuan in his arms.
Once in Long Qian's arms, Tuan Tuan stopped crying, but looked at Long Qian with teary eyes and a pitiful expression.
Long Qian: "..."
Huanhuan climbed down from Murun's arms and snuggled into Long Qian's embrace, hugging his slender waist and whining, "Uncle, please save my little brother, or I'll hate you."
"Hate me? Why would he hate me? It's not like I planted the Heart-Eating Gu on him." Long Qian felt very innocent.
"But can you save us or not? We are your family."
“Your father has never treated me like family.”
"That's my dad, not me. I'll take good care of you in the future, please save my brother. He'll be filial to you too, right, Tuantuan?"
"Yes, that's filial piety." Tuantuan nodded as well.
Zi Wu, who had been watching from the doorway, came in and said to Long Qian, "Your Majesty, the Heart-Eating Gu is just a matter of moving a finger for you. Don't make things so difficult for the child."
Mu Run looked at Zi Wu, the person she had bumped into earlier.
"I will only save her if she agrees to my request." Long Qian refused to back down.
"Uncle! If you keep doing this, I will really, really, really hate you!" Huanhuan released Long Qian, put her hands on her hips, and looked very angry!
It has to be said that children are also very cute when they are angry, which makes people laugh.
Tuantuan looks docile, but she's actually quite clever. She clung tightly to Long Qian's clothes with both hands and said in a childish voice, "Tuantuan doesn't want to be in pain!"
Long Qian couldn't take it anymore, "...Fine, fine, I'll save you, I must have owed your family something in my past life."
"Thank you, Uncle. Huanhuan likes you again." Huanhuan's expression changed to one of flattery.
Mu Run secretly gave the two children a thumbs up!
So incredibly cute!
What Ziwu said about it being just a matter of moving a finger was absolutely true.
Long Qianzhen moved his finger, bit his fingertip, dripped a drop of blood onto Tuan Tuan's chest, and then a completely black Gu worm crawled out from Tuan Tuan's chest!
Tuantuan cried out in pain, but as the Gu worm crawled out, his complexion improved, and the Gu mark on his chest faded and disappeared. Finally, even his crying stopped, and he even looked at the Gu worm on his chest with curiosity.
Ziwu said to Murun, "The Heart-Eating Gu is a method used by black witches to control slave witches; it's a relatively low-level Gu worm."
"This! And it's only a low-level Gu worm. What must the high-level ones be like?" Mu Run couldn't imagine.
"Would you like to meet him?" Long Qian asked.
Mu Run shook her head subconsciously, "No, I don't want to see her at all."
I had a feeling he had ill intentions!
Long Qian curled his lips slightly.
Huanhuan, fiercely protective of her mother, glared at Long Qian and said, "You can't be rude to your mother!"
Long Qian: "...I didn't!"
Huanhuan pouted, "Be careful, or I'll become unfilial to you in the future."
"You can't go back on your promises, or you'll get bitten by bugs~" Long Qian said to Huanhuan with a hint of threat.
Mu Run immediately tensed up, "No, she's only three and a half years old, don't be so petty with a child."
“Your Majesty, there’s no need for that,” Ziwu chimed in.
Long Qian glared at him, "Whose side are you on anyway?"
Zi Wu replied solemnly, "On the King's side."
Long Qian: "..."
The Heart-Eating Gu consumed Long Qian's blood, turning its entire body from jet black to bright red. Long Qian then put it away.
Mu Run looked at him in surprise, "Aren't you going to kill it?"
Long Qian said, "A Heart-Eating Gu that has consumed the heart blood of the mother and child and is still alive is quite rare. With a little refining, it can become a mutated Heart-Eating Mother Gu."
"If it's not a offspring Gu, how can it become a mother Gu?"
"The mother Gu is dead. If the offspring Gu can escape death, they can naturally evolve into the mother Gu."
"Oh. So my son is alright now, right?" Mu Run was only worried about Tuan Tuan's safety.
Long Qian nodded. "Yes, be more careful in the future. The blood of the Witch King in my brother's body is not pure to begin with, so the blood of him and your child is naturally even more diluted. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been threatened by a mere Heart-Eating Gu."
"Witch King's blood?" Mu Run looked at Tuan Tuan and Huan Huan. "You mean, they really are Fu Yunchen's children?"
"Otherwise, why do you think the Heart-Eating Gu in his body didn't act up for so long, only turning back on its host after the mother Gu died? Also, when my blood drips onto Tuantuan's body, I can feel the kinship between him and me."
Thinking of the way Fu Yunchen treated the two children like his own, Mu Run raised her hand to her forehead: "...My head hurts so much!"
"Mom, are you feeling unwell?" Huanhuan asked with great concern.
Mu Run shook his head, "It's not that kind of headache." He bent down and hugged her, "Thank you, Huanhuan, you saved your brother."
Long Qian said, "What she promised will not be invalidated just because she is a child."
Mu Run nodded. "I don't deny it. But she's still young. If she's still willing to stay with you when she grows up, I won't object."
“She needs to study witchcraft with me for at least two months out of the year; that’s the bare minimum.” Long Qian looked at Huanhuan. “Is Huanhuan willing to learn from her uncle?”
Huanhuan looked at Tuantuan, who was still sitting in his lap, and recalled Tuantuan's crying face. "If I learn witchcraft from you, will my little brother stop hurting?"
“Not only him, but also your mother. You can use witchcraft to protect her.”
"Then I'll learn." Huanhuan nodded. "Can Tuantuan learn along with me?"
“Him?” Long Qian looked at Tuan Tuan in his arms and shook his head. “He can’t learn it, but he can learn witchcraft and medicine.”
“Then Tuantuan and I will learn from you,” Huanhuan agreed.
Mu Run: "Aren't you going to ask me, your mother, for my opinion?"
As soon as she spoke, everyone looked at her.
Suddenly being the center of attention, Mu Run felt a little embarrassed. "I agree to let them go to your place, but I want to come along."
Just treat it like the kids are attending an extracurricular class. Two months isn't a long time, but it's not short either. It's always good for kids to have an additional skill to rely on.
In particular, the fact that the two children used their wit to force Long Qian to break free from the Heart-Eating Gu has already proven that they possess the ability to learn.
Kidnappings and assassinations when the baby was just a month old all demonstrate the treacherous nature of this world. The more skills you have, the more you can protect yourself and the better your chances of survival.
Xiangcheng——
One of the men, who had been completely excluded, suddenly shivered!
This feels terrible!
It's as if something has happened that's out of his control!
...
Redmi woke up groggily.
Then, when they opened their eyes, they found that they had returned to Chongyang Mountain Wharf.
Mu Run is bringing the boat to shore.
"Lady Mu, why are we back? Where are Huanhuan and Tuantuan?" Hongmi woke up the other boatmen and told them to go down and moor the boat.
Mu Run pointed to Huanhuan and Tuantuan, who were running towards the inn, and said, "They're hungry, they're going to ask Yaoyao for food."
"What happened? All I remember is that after boarding the ship, everything went black and I passed out."
