Chapter 30: Mu Mu Wanqing, change the routine

Gu Gu Hanyuan first spent 50 villain points to exchange for a bottle of Black Jade Fracture-Healing Ointment, applying it to Black Rose’s four limbs.

He then took out the herbs for treating internal injuries he had collected at Butterfly Valley from his storage space, ground them into powder, and fed them to it.

Although humans and horses are different, the vast majority of pharmacology remains the same.

Finally, he sprinkled trauma powder on Black Rose’s external wounds and bandaged them.

After that, it would recover after a period of quiet rest.

Zhong Ling had originally thought Black Rose was doomed, and her request for Gu Gu Hanyuan to save it was merely an instinctive reliance.

As it turned out, after Gu Gu Hanyuan’s treatment, Black Rose’s condition had indeed improved significantly.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Gu Gu Hanyuan’s figure, feeling that he was simply the most capable person under heaven.

Zhong Ling gently stroked the head of Black Rose, which was now much more spirited.

"Black Rose, remember that Brother Gu saved you, okay? He is your lifesaver."

Black Rose was intelligent; it seemed to understand Zhong Ling’s words and actually nodded at Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Gu Hanyuan found it interesting. Many animals in this world were full of spirit, so it wasn't a waste of the effort he had spent saving it.

"Brother Gu, Black Rose is injured, and Sister Mu is in danger. Shall we go find her quickly?"

Seeing that Black Rose was no longer in life-threatening danger, Zhong Ling began to worry about Mu Mu Wanqing’s situation again.

"Sister Mu?"

Gu Gu Hanyuan asked, pretending not to know.

"Sister Mu is very good to me; she often takes care of me."

Zhong Ling had originally wanted to say that Mu Mu Wanqing was very beautiful, but she held it back.

She thought that since Mu Mu Wanqing wore a black veil all year round and wouldn't let other men see her, Gu Gu Hanyuan wouldn't be able to see her either.

If she told him, he might get curious and try to lift Mu Mu Wanqing’s veil.

Zhong Ling felt that Gu Gu Hanyuan, being a bad guy, was perfectly capable of doing such a thing.

She also had her own little thoughts.

Zhong Ling felt that she wasn't as good-looking as Mu Mu Wanqing and worried that her beloved might have a change of heart.

How could such a small thought of hers escape Gu Gu Hanyuan?

Gu Gu Hanyuan found it amusing, though it was a pity that he was bound to not let Mu Mu Wanqing go.

After settling Black Rose, the two began to search for traces of Mu Mu Wanqing.

They didn't search for long before they heard the sounds of fighting coming from afar.

Approaching to look, it turned out that three of the Four Great Evils—Ye Ye Erniang, Yue Yue Laosan, and Yun Yun Zhonghe—were arguing for some unknown reason and had started fighting.

There was no need to mention the two eyesore men, Yue Yue Laosan and Yun Yun Zhonghe.

However, that Ye Ye Erniang was truly worthy of being the person who could make Sikuang Xuan Ci stir with worldly desires.

Even though she was getting on in years, had three scars on her face, and looked perpetually sorrowful, it was hard to hide her beauty. She was a step above Ge Ge Guangpei, easily scoring an 82; at her peak in her youth, she probably would have been an 85.

Under a large tree beside the three of them leaned an injured woman in black—it was Mu Mu Wanqing.

Mu Mu Wanqing had a slender figure, a pointed chin, autumn-bright eyes, and cherry lips; her face was beautiful and refined, but because of her injury, it was overly pale, devoid of any color.

After looking, Gu Gu Hanyuan felt she deserved a beauty rating of 92; she was indeed much prettier than Zhong Ling.

Compared to Zhong Ling’s innocence and cuteness, Mu Mu Wanqing was cold, proud, and glamorous.

It was a pity that Mu Mu Wanqing’s veil had already been removed; too much time had been wasted on the road.

But it didn't matter. Since Duan Yu had already seen Mu Mu Wanqing’s face, he would just change the routine.

Finally finding Mu Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling was very happy and greeted her joyfully:

"Sister Mu!"

Mu Mu Wanqing had been wondering who would appear here at this time.

As for the Duan Yu she was hoping for, he clearly wouldn't be here so soon.

Now seeing Zhong Ling, she only felt worried.

The Four Great Evils were notorious. Because of Duan Yu, she had Yue Yue Laosan protecting her, so she would be fine for a while, but the same couldn't be said for Zhong Ling.

As for the masked Gu Gu Hanyuan beside Zhong Ling, although he didn't look like a good person, seeing Zhong Ling holding his arm without any avoidance, it was clear their relationship was very close.

Seeing someone arrive, the three villains stopped their fighting.

They were inevitably vigilant when they saw Gu Gu Hanyuan, because he looked even more like a villain than they did.

However, Yun Yun Zhonghe, that lecherous demon, was someone who lost his brains the moment he saw a beauty.

He looked at Zhong Ling and laughed lewdly:

"I didn't expect that I couldn't touch the big beauty, but another little beauty has been delivered to my door."

Gu Gu Hanyuan’s eyes turned cold and sharp.

Yun Yun Zhonghe was a very useful tool; using him, one could easily manufacture a scenario of a hero saving a beauty.

It would be a pity to kill him, but giving him a profound lesson was no problem.

Seeing Yun Yun Zhonghe’s appearance, Zhong Ling hid behind Gu Gu Hanyuan in fear.

"Gu... Brother Brother Wutian, that is Sister Mu under the tree over there."

Zhong Ling almost called out the wrong name, but fortunately, she reacted quickly and corrected it.

Seeing Gu Gu Hanyuan staring at Mu Mu Wanqing, she pouted slightly.

"Sister Mu is very pretty, right? Much prettier than me."

Gu Gu Hanyuan looked with amusement at Zhong Ling, who had suddenly become insecure.

It was precisely because she cared that she made comparisons, worrying about losing favor.

He raised his hand to gently stroke the hair on Zhong Ling’s head, his eyes doting.

"She is quite pretty, but in my eyes, you are better looking, Ling'er."

Although his voice was cold, it instantly warmed Zhong Ling’s heart.

She giggled and buried her head in Gu Gu Hanyuan’s chest to act spoiled.

Seeing the two flirting as if no one else were around, the three villains all looked displeased.

Ordinary people would tremble in fear just hearing their names, let alone seeing all three of them present at once.

They felt they were being looked down upon.

"What kind of background do you have, kid? Have you never heard of the Four Great Evils?"

Yue Yue Laosan, who cared most about reputation, shouted angrily.

"The Four Great Evils? Aside from Duan Duan Yanqing, who is truly evil, you three are nothing but empty names."

Gu Gu Hanyuan had wanted to test his new weapon and sword techniques, and the three of them had just bumped into him.

Without letting go of Zhong Ling, who was still nestled in his arms, he took out the Magic Sword from his storage space.

Whether it was the three villains or Mu Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling, all were shocked by Gu Gu Hanyuan’s move.

The scene of a long sword appearing out of thin air was indeed quite incredible.

Especially Zhong Ling; although it hadn't been long, she had been in very close contact with Gu Gu Hanyuan, yet she hadn't noticed such a long sword.

If the occasion weren't inappropriate, she would have had to search him thoroughly.

The Magic Sword emitted a faint purple light; one look and it was clearly no ordinary item.

"Come, let this seat weigh your worth."

Gu Gu Hanyuan didn't let go of Zhong Ling, standing in place while half-hugging her, holding the sword with one hand to face the enemy.

Both the Magic Sword and the "Holy Spirit Sword Art" were too high-level.

Facing the three villains, Gu Gu Hanyuan felt he had to control his strength, otherwise, he might accidentally take a life.

So he suppressed his cultivation realm to the early stage of Innate.

He thought that apart from Yun Yun Zhonghe, who was at the late stage of Innate, the other two were at the peak of Innate; together, they should be able to last a move or two.
