Chapter 1950 - 1534: Simple, Direct, and Effective!

Black Man Duo Shu naturally isn’t as naive as Yuan Bao. He doesn’t assume that just because the two of them are acting as Gu Changsheng’s accomplices, Zhou Mu and our master won’t notice...

Duo Shu hasn’t forgotten how the two of them fled the guest room in panic earlier, as if they’d encountered some flood or beast!

Zhou Mu and our master, what kind of people are they?

Calling them peerless isn’t an exaggeration; they’ve witnessed all sorts of scenes! Yet they were so frightened by Gu Changsheng; it’s clear Gu Changsheng really pulled out his trump card!

"So, tell me, is my lady’s idea of a hunger strike truly effective? Will Sir and Shi Wujue really compromise and let her enter the mountain while injured?" Yuan Bao asked worriedly.

Yuan Bao knew Black Man was at least a bit smarter than himself, so asking him was surely right!

Upon hearing this, Black Man Duo Shu fell silent, glanced at Yuan Bao, then at the tightly closed door behind him, finally shook his head and said helplessly, "It’s simple and direct, yet effective!"

"Huh?" Yuan Bao stared blankly upon hearing this.

There was something really off about Black Man’s words. It sounded like his master would fall for Lady Changsheng’s trick!

"You don’t really think Sir would be fooled by Lady Changsheng, do you? Stop joking; my master is extraordinarily brilliant and wise..." Yuan Bao protested with wide eyes.

His master is so smart; would he not see through such a minor ploy by Lady Changsheng?

Yuan Bao didn’t believe it!

Not even if you beat Yuan Bao! He wouldn’t believe it!

"You act like your master is so smart!" Black Man Duo Shu scoffed upon hearing this, glanced at Yuan Bao with disdain, and said, "In front of Gu Changsheng, forget your master, even my master isn’t much better. Both are so brilliant and mighty, yet it’s worthless; intelligence-wise, they’re in the negatives. They can’t compete with Gu Changsheng! Even if they know Gu Changsheng is using a cunning scheme, ultimately, they would still fall for it!"

While saying this, Duo Shu shook his head and walked away. "So, as I’ve said, your lady’s plan is simple and direct, yet effective!"

Upon hearing Black Man’s remark not only criticize his master but also not spare Shi Wujue, Yuan Bao suddenly felt balanced and upon reconsideration, thought Black Man’s words made sense!

When did his master ever manage to outsmart Lady Changsheng?

If his master could outsmart Lady Changsheng, he wouldn’t be worried about his master’s prowess being hard to maintain!

"Hey, hey, where are you going?" Yuan Bao came back to his senses and saw Black Man Duo Shu’s figure already vanishing into the distance, quickly chasing after him.

"Going to prepare things for heading to Divine Mount Qilian!"

Duo Shu’s words floated over, as if certain Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue wouldn’t hold out for much longer...

Seeing this, Yuan Bao was speechless, but it seemed everything was indeed turning out as his lady intended...

Helpless!

When will his master escape Lady Changsheng’s Five Fingers Mountain?

In the guest room, a well-fed Gu Changsheng slept sweetly!

Someone with a wounded Divine Soul is naturally low in spirit; since coming out of the Star Innate Tower, she could clearly feel a vast expanse within her heart, as if she lost her support, and seemed to have lost an important piece too. Gu Changsheng attributed this to the injury and didn’t think further...

By noon, Gu Changsheng’s guest room remained tightly shut.

Zhou Mu knocked several times but there was no response from inside.

Gu Changsheng was sound asleep, how could she hear the knocking outside?

Wandering and hesitating, by afternoon, besides Zhou Mu, another figure was circling outside Gu Changsheng’s guest room...

Yes, it was Shi Wujue!

"She still hasn’t eaten anything?" His white hair like snow and eyebrows furrowed, Shi Wujue’s face didn’t look good.

"Uh-huh." Zhou Mu glanced at the untouched meal at the door and wondered where Yuan Bao and Black Man had gone. But upon seeing the untouched meal, he felt unmitigated anger mixed with helplessness.

There’s no denying that the self-made woman’s tactics to force compliance are truly endless, leaving Zhou Mu exhausted!

"Ah!" Shi Wujue sighed helplessly, "How about we prepare to set off? Her not eating or drinking, not seeing anyone, isn’t a solution either..."

"But her injuries..." Zhou Mu’s face was full of concern, shrouded in dark clouds.

"Regardless of her physical injuries, do you really think continuing like this will be beneficial or detrimental to her recovery?" Shi Wujue rubbed his eyebrows, filled with helplessness.

Thus, by the time evening came, before night completely fell, the ground outside Gu Changsheng’s guest room was almost treaded into a pit by Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue...

"Humph, I don’t believe you two can outplay me. Damn it, just because the tiger doesn’t roar, you really think I’m a sickly cat?" Gu Changsheng said while munching a chicken leg, with a large lunch box in front of her...

Of course, this was smuggled over by Yuan Bao; she overslept at noon and missed a meal, so she naturally needed to make up for it...

The sound of Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue pacing outside the door was clearer than ever to Gu Changsheng, making her feel she was likely to win this tug-of-war!

The Injured Strategy really does work better than the Beauty Strategy!

The Beauty Strategy truly overturned Gu Changsheng; she wasn’t quite able to manage it!

"Hmm, hmm, this mountain chicken is really delicious, way tastier than regular chicken meat!" Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but praise as she ate, with oil dripping from her mouth.

She was injured now, originally unable to eat anything too greasy, but she couldn’t help it. Being a meat lover, going three days without meat was already her limit. Victory was in sight, and Gu Changsheng had to persuade Yuan Bao to smuggle a roasted chicken in for her!

Gu Changsheng, who hadn’t savored any meat for three days, almost swallowed her own fingers!

Delicious, delicious!

It was truly delicious!

With her goal nearly achieved and a tasty meal in her stomach, Gu Changsheng felt incredibly happy!

Based on her estimation, those two Door Gods outside probably won’t last past tomorrow night. Then she’ll be able to see the light of day again without being stuck in bed recovering!

One has to admit, Gu Changsheng may be a fierce doctor, but she’s definitely not a model patient!

So, when Gu Changsheng was having a feast and enjoying her chicken leg, happily gnawing at the chicken bones, Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue outside couldn’t hold back any longer and burst in...

And then...

And then tragedy struck!

"Cough cough... cough cough... help..." On the bed, Gu Changsheng hugged half a chicken carcass and pounded the bed.

Help, damn it!

She was about to choke to death!

"Changsheng!" Zhou Mu almost in a single bound rushed to the bedside and cradled the coughing little woman in his arms, his face, like a Divine Residence, full of anxious worry, "What’s wrong? Is your internal injury getting worse?"

Zhou Mu initially intended to blame her for not eating properly, but his gaze fell upon the half-eaten chicken carcass in Gu Changsheng’s hand...

"Cough cough... help... help..." Leaning against Zhou Mu’s thigh, Gu Changsheng waved the half carcass in her hand, finally managing to say the words intermittently...

Damn it, Fourth Auntie Grandma, this is deadly!

"You!" Zhou Mu was a bit gritting his teeth, but he resignedly lifted his hand and patted Gu Changsheng’s back a few times...

"Cough cough... cough cough..." Being patted, Gu Changsheng shook wildly, and a chicken bone spurted out of her mouth...

"You!" Following Zhou Mu hurriedly in, Shi Wujue saw the bone, and the expression on his legendary face immediately turned multicolored, looking rather amusing...

Just moments ago, upon bursting in and seeing Gu Changsheng leaning weakly against the bed edge, they were almost scared out of their wits. But the result... result...

"Good heavens! You two were trying to kill me, huh? Who told you to barge in suddenly? Almost choked me to death!" Gu Changsheng, having recovered, roared lion-like at the two men in front of her.

Damn it, such a letdown!

Their incompetence far exceeded Gu Changsheng’s expectations!

Gu Changsheng thought they could surely hold on till tomorrow nightfall without issues. But what happened?

They couldn’t even last a day!

To be precise, it was just a lunch, barely nearing dinner time...

Only half a day!

This caught her off guard, nearly causing her demise at the hands of a roasted chicken!

"So I’m to blame now?" Zhou Mu looked at the little woman throwing a tantrum on his lap, the depths of his eyes as dark as a Cold Pool...

"Of course! If not for you, would I have choked?" Gu Changsheng hammered Zhou Mu’s thigh, speaking angrily.

"It was me who disturbed someone who shouted they were on a hunger strike protest, taking such delight in eating..." Zhou Mu’s cold voice echoed...

Gu Changsheng, hearing this, suddenly felt a bit uneasy inside. She realized what had truly happened...

Seems like she was fully exposed with all evidence...

Nearby, the chilling presence sent shivers down Gu Changsheng’s spine...

Gu Changsheng’s gut told her things weren’t looking good...

"Hehe..." Gu Changsheng awkwardly turned her head, forcing a smile...

Then, seeing that raised hand, her smile instantly froze...

She quickly covered her head, softly crying, "No! Evildoer, no!"

Done for! Done for!

She truly had nowhere to hide her old face now!

"Smack!"

With Gu Changsheng’s soft cries, a not too light nor too heavy slap sound rang out...
