Chapter 1781 - 1385: Addled by Lust, the Two Culprits!

"If I say I’m here without any ill intentions, would you believe me?"

When Gu Changsheng said this, even she found it hard to believe...

Oh well, her mouth had really gotten her into trouble!

Commander Jin and the other wounded looked at Gu Changsheng with doubt, their eyes plainly filled with suspicion...

Gu Changsheng’s smile faded immediately...

What could she do...

She had bullied their master and slapped their face, not leaving a good impression...

But she couldn’t have come all this way for nothing, right?

"Call back your horses and follow behind my carriage. Evil Wolf Valley is a hundred miles wide. These little creatures aren’t all of them; you can’t handle it!"

Commander Jin knew that the "little creatures" Gu Changsheng referred to were the wolf corpses littering the ground...

Indeed, as she said, Evil Wolf Valley was very wide. There were only a dozen of them left, all injured. If they encountered another wolf pack attack, they wouldn’t stand a chance!

"This is golden sore medicine, apply it to that girl!"

With a flick of her wrist, she tossed a porcelain vial to Commander Jin and turned to leave without another word.

She hadn’t come all this way to knock that girl down a peg, just that her mouth couldn’t help it!

But she was telling the truth; their lives were in their own hands now!

There was no reason for her genuine intention to help to not be appreciated, right?

After all, she had said her piece. If they wanted to follow, fine. If not, and they encountered the wolf pack, they couldn’t blame anyone but themselves for their demise.

Gu Changsheng hadn’t even returned to the carriage when Yuan Bao started ribbing her, "Madam, why are you so kind-hearted? Why save them? That young lady of theirs isn’t likable at all, really obnoxious, and you still gave her medicine. Your medicine is precious..."

Gu Changsheng clicked her tongue and climbed onto the carriage, "That’s why I only gave them one vial..."

It was just enough for that girl to use, she wouldn’t care about the rest of the minions!

She wasn’t a saint, even if she gave them medicine, they might not even be willing to pay the consultation fee!

Hmph!

What a loss! Not happy!

Sitting back in the carriage, Gu Changsheng felt a bit depressed.

Zhou Mu saw her like this, smiled, and tapped her nose, "You’re such a kind soul."

"..." Gu Changsheng really wanted to say that she regretted it...

"Wait for them for a quarter of an hour. If they don’t catch up, we’ll just continue onward," Zhou Mu told Yuan Bao outside the carriage.

"Yes!" Yuan Bao responded.

"..." Black Man Duo Shu remained silent.

Gu Changsheng had never had such an odd experience saving people, feeling utterly frustrated while rolling around inside the carriage, completely devoid of her earlier fairy-like grace, becoming a total rascal...

"Evildoer, maybe we shouldn’t wait? Let’s just go?"

Zhou Mu gave her a mocking look as soon as she heard that.

Gu Changsheng felt embarrassed.

Alright, if they don’t wait, then her words would be wasted, right? And they came all this way for nothing?

But, really, it was so frustrating. Wasn’t she Gu Changsheng? When had her attempts to save people not been met with gratitude and real gold and silver? Furthermore, ever since she became the Southern Emperor, she’d rarely helped people, and now that she finally wanted to save someone, it turned into this bizarre scene...

So awkward!

A bit nervous!

"I hope they don’t follow, I don’t want to face them... ah... ah..." Gu Changsheng mumbled...

That was the source of her awkwardness...

"Nonsense!" Zhou Mu saw this and reprimanded softly.

"You..." Gu Changsheng felt wronged.

"Do as you like!" Zhou Mu couldn’t bear her pitiful little look and added with an unfazed face.

"..."

In the carriage front, Yuan Bao heard the conversation inside and immediately had something to say. Leaning over, he poked Black Man Duo Shu, who was in the parallel carriage, with the whip master in his hand, and looked at Duo Shu with a knowing look, "Don’t be sad, being called a Black Man isn’t so bad. Don’t blame your master for being unable to resist my Mistress. Even my Lord isn’t up to par. Trust me, when it comes to my Mistress, even steel can be turned into pliable softness. And that steel, it’s not just limited to your master..."

The Black Man Duo Shu cast a cold glance over...

He would quickly get the sack ready!

Yuan Bao thought he was holding a grudge, so he added, "Really! Do you believe that even if my wife decided to rename me Gou Sheng or Gou Dan, my master would agree without batting an eye?"

The Black Man Duo Shu’s mouth, hidden under his black clothes, twitched. Gou Sheng Gou Dan... in comparison, being a black man wasn’t so bad...

"Xiao Er Que, from now on, you’ll be called Gou Sheng Gou Dan!"

From inside the carriage came the sound of Gu Changsheng’s embarrassed and angry voice.

Yuan Bao, plump and jolly, almost stumbled out of the carriage. His weight luckily helped him stop in his tracks, though stiff and silent like a cicada in winter!

"Haha..." From the neighboring carriage, Shi Wujue’s wanton laughter could be heard, along with Zhou Mu’s helpless sigh...

Hearing Shi Wujue’s laughter, Gu Changsheng felt even more embarrassed!

She was truly flustered by Yuan Bao’s steel-willed remark of flexibility. This Yuan Bao was becoming more and more audacious!

While Gu Changsheng waited amidst laughter, Commander Jin was hesitant. He knew it was the wisest choice to follow Gu Changsheng, but his lady stood there motionless, her face as dark as if it could drip ink. As a subordinate, he didn’t know what to say at the moment...

After all, his lady had been humiliated by that woman...

"Recall the horses and follow them!"

Just when Commander Jin hesitated about speaking, Landuoer snatched the porcelain vial from Commander Jin’s hand, swiftly drew the dagger from her ankle, and cut open her sleeve to pour the medicine onto her arm.

"Miss?" Commander Jin, seeing this, was distressed and hesitant.

"I’m fine. No matter what, the message must be sent back as quickly as possible, that’s my mission!" After applying the medicinal powder, Landuoer tore off a piece of fabric and tied it around her wound. Her face was as cold as frost, her gaze firm. Then she put two fingers to her lips and let out a clear whistle...

As children of the prairie, the first reaction to a wolf attack is to plan an escape route, which means setting free their mount. As a nomadic people, they possessed a unique equestrian skill, and although most of their horses couldn’t escape a wolf pack, just one that escaped was hope!

Gu Changsheng, who was originally tumbling around in the carriage, couldn’t help but curl her lips upon hearing the whistle. She could tell it was that young girl who whistled!

"She’s someone who knows how to bend and endure and can make decisions!"

Recalling how the young girl decisively ordered her subordinates to leave earlier, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but commend her.

Zhou Mu, hearing this, recalled the young girl trying to move closer to him and Shi Wujue, and he snorted disdainfully.

As Zhou Mu snorted, Gu Changsheng’s snort was even louder. Looking at him with contempt, she said, "People say lust makes one lose their wits. How could such a decisive and rational young girl be so enthralled by the two of you—oh, what trouble you must be up to?"

The voice of Gu Changsheng was not low; Zhou Mu, who was in the adjacent carriage, heard it clearly, as did Shi Wujue, who was in the same carriage without lowering the curtain!

The two culprits, victims of overindulgence, exchanged a helpless glance.

Gu Changsheng truly loathed this silent communication between her own evildoer and Shi Wujue. Just looking at it made her heart ache. Her expression immediately darkened as she glared at the person beside her, then at the person in the neighboring carriage. Gritting her teeth, she opened her mouth, "You two better behave yourselves, or else I’ll turn you into ugly monsters so you don’t cause any more trouble!"

Zhou Mu, looking at the seething little woman in his arms, couldn’t help but chuckle softly, "Are you jealous? If not for your sudden interest, would I and Shi Wujue be so lenient?"

"I become interested, and you just let it be?" Gu Changsheng glared.

"Yes! I promised you, indulge and allow you!" Zhou Mu’s voice was calm and unruffled.

"Where’s your decency? Huh? Where’s your decency?"

"Lost it!"

Gu Changsheng: "..."

Facing such a Zhou Mu, she felt a surge of frustration!

In the neighboring carriage, Shi Wujue listened to their conversation, watched the scene of their closeness, and his long eyelashes drooped a little, his expression dim...

Their interaction was simply incomparable...

But then again, what qualification did he have to match them?

Gu Changsheng lay in the carriage, draped over Zhou Mu’s long legs. She genuinely had no interest in speaking with her own evildoer, feeling he was acting strangely...

During the time Gu Changsheng lay motionless, some twenty fine horses cantered towards them...

It was obvious these were the horses that had escaped from the wolves’ jaws earlier. Northern Mongolian children’s equestrian skills were truly impressive, effectively beckoning and dispatching as needed, earning Gu Changsheng’s admiration!

As the horses returned, Landuoer’s subordinates quickly took out their own healing herbs and tended to each of their wounds.

"Miss, what about those goods?" Commander Jin pointed to the dilapidated carriages ruined by the wolves, asking for instructions.

"You have to let go to gain! Those goods were just a disguise as merchants for cover, they don’t hold much meaning now. Preserving our lives and bringing the message back is what’s important, move!" Without even looking at the goods, Landuoer spoke decisively, mounted a nearby horse, and rode off.

Seeing this, Commander Jin and his men naturally didn’t dare linger. They mounted their horses one after another, following behind Landuoer towards the two untouched carriages...

Seeing Landuoer and her companions approach, the still Gu Changsheng climbed out of the carriage, half her body leaning out, frowning slightly. After mulling it over, she fetched a small bottle from inside the carriage...

Then, as Landuoer and Commander Jin’s group neared the carriage, they saw a hand extend from the window, making a strong sweeping motion towards them...
