Chapter Seventy: Returning to the Prince's Mansion



Fortunately, Gu Mu had previously taken five Body Strengthening Pills and Spirit Pills to enhance his body.

otherwise,

This kind of pain is unbearable for ordinary people.

Gu Mu gritted his teeth and remained silent as the carriage continued to move forward.

One night passed.

The crackling sounds from inside the bones subsided considerably.

But the pain did not lessen at all.

Wait until the crackling sound completely disappears.

The system then displayed a notification: "Marrow Cleansing Progress 17".

? ? ?

? ? ?

? ? ?

I spent 100 points to exchange for a complete fruit, but it only had one-seventh of the effect?!

You're trying to scam your dad.

Despite the financial pain, Gu Mu exchanged for another Marrow Cleansing Fruit.

His bones are shattered now, and he can't do anything else. As the saying goes, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. He's already in this state, so if he gets another Marrow Cleansing Fruit, things can't get much worse.

Perhaps it's because the marrow cleansing process has progressed more quickly.

On the contrary, the pain symptoms were relieved?

The second Marrow Cleansing Fruit was swallowed...

As it turns out, Gu Mu was overthinking things.

When a person believes that something can only get the worst, and there is no worse.

The world often tells him with cruel facts that he has underestimated him and that he can be even worse.

Gu Mu was the unlucky guy.

After swallowing the second Marrow Cleansing Fruit

Gu Mu fainted immediately.

No... falling into a coma isn't entirely accurate.

His body was in a coma, but in fact, he was conscious and aware of everything happening around him.

Gu Mu didn't know how to describe the feeling, but he knew that what was happening inside his body at this moment wasn't entirely a bad thing.

He seemed to be on a cloud.

But the surrounding area was filled with pain, seemingly without end.

Or rather, it's heaven on one side and hell on the other.

Gu Mu is currently at this intersection.

But the consciousness within his body told him to get through it.

If you can't get through it, you'll fall into hell.

If you can endure it, you'll ascend to heaven.

It's that kind of wonderful feeling.

Shortly after the second Marrow Cleansing Fruit was swallowed, the crackling sound rang out again. Once the crackling sound disappeared, Gu Mu ate the next Marrow Cleansing Fruit.

Because the Marrow Cleansing Fruit can be retrieved through consciousness and appear directly in his body.

It can be done even when in a "coma".

And so, when he arrived in the capital, he ate the fifth Marrow Cleansing Fruit.

The emotionless assassins finally noticed that something was wrong with Gu Mu.

He was emotionless and rarely communicated with Gu Mu.

So even though Gu Mu didn't talk to him the whole way.

Even the assassins wouldn't find anything unusual about it.

Gu Mu had dry rations in his carriage, and the assassin had dry rations in his bundle; the two didn't need to communicate...

Of course, this is assuming we don't try to whitewash the assassins.

This emotionless assassin, though he imitates humans in every way, cannot simply imitate human thought processes.

"Master...was he ambushed in the carriage?"

The assassin looked at the unconscious Gu Mu.

In this situation, the princess should be informed.

Because the princess handles all the affairs of the household.

If His Highness is in trouble, you should consult the Princess.

The assassin, mimicking human behavior, found the princess and told her everything about Gu Mu's coma.

At this moment, the princess was embroidering a handkerchief in her room.

However, the flowers, plants, insects, and fish embroidered on her handkerchief were not ordinary.

Instead, it was a stick figure with the character "牧" (shepherd) written on it.

Shen Ling calmly tossed the handkerchief into the brazier, watching the matchstick figure instantly turn to ashes. She raised her eyes, smiled, revealing two mischievous little tiger teeth: "You just said that His Highness has returned?"

A lot has happened in the capital these days, and Shen Ling has seen it all.

Although the cause is unknown, it seems to have nothing to do with His Highness.

She didn't care about anything that had nothing to do with His Highness.

"Inside the carriage outside," the assassin reported, following the logic of human beings.

Shen Ling put down her embroidery needle, her eyes filled with doubt: "Then why doesn't Your Highness get out of the carriage?"

"His Highness seems to have been ambushed and is currently unconscious." The assassin finally got to the point.

"You're probably a fool," Youyou, who was beside the princess, cursed inwardly, glaring fiercely at the assassin.

The princess stood up instantly.

There was a slight look of surprise on his face.

She controlled her expression well and quickly regained it, but her faster-than-usual speech betrayed her concern: "I'll go take a look."

He walked quickly out of the room.

We arrived in the courtyard.

Shen Ling lifted the carriage curtain and saw Gu Mu sitting inside, unconscious.

At this moment, Gu Mu leaned against the edge of the carriage, covered in sweat, seemingly enduring great pain, his lips bitten until they turned white.

This weak appearance,

It felt as if two hands were gently gripping his neck.

That would be enough to break his head.

Although Gu Mu was in a "coma" state, he was actually conscious. It was just that the effect of the Marrow Cleansing Fruit placed him in a transitional zone between heaven and hell.

Gu Mu felt that if he couldn't pull through, he might really fall into a coma forever.

But if he pulls through, he will definitely reap special rewards.

Gu Mu endured the excruciating pain in his bones, but he was actually able to perceive everything happening around him.

He knew the assassin lifted the carriage curtain and hurriedly left.

Then,

The carriage curtain was lifted again, and a faint, alluring fragrance wafted in from outside the carriage.
