Chapter 448: For Love (4)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Living is equivalent to dying.”
“As for the Love Gu in Fifth Miss Fan’s body, it’s only ordinary.”
“Even a cat can change her heart.”
When Fan Mushuang was charmed by Qing Guang, Gu Yanfei was sure that the other party’s Love Gu could be cured.
Gu Yanfei spoke casually, but Gu Yuan still had some lingering fear. If not for his sister, the Fan family wouldn’t even know what had happened to Fan Mushuang. They could only watch as their good girl was destroyed…
It was just like when he found out that his sister had been replaced…
Gu Yuan’s eyes were as dark as the night. He gripped the sheath in his hand tightly, his knuckles protruding slightly from the force.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly said mockingly, “Kang Wang and Fang Mingfeng might also be affected by a Love Gu.”
“All of them are willing to die for love. They’re simply obsessed.”
Gu Yanfei couldn’t help but be stunned.
In her daze, she didn’t notice the small porcelain bottle in her hand. The worm crawled out of the bottle and jumped to the ground…
Gu Yanfei’s eyes were half-closed. Her eyelashes fluttered as she silently chanted in her heart: Love Gu.
It was indeed quite similar.
They were just as infatuated.
They were like moths to a flame.
They were also willing to abandon their family and themselves.
To put it nicely, they were deeply in love and would never leave Gu Yunrong’s side.
However, from another perspective, it didn’t look like they had been poisoned by a Love Gu.
“Sister.” Gu Yuan called her softly when he saw that she was in a daze.
Only then did Gu Yanfei realize that the small porcelain bottle in her hand was empty. The child Gu that escaped from prison had fallen to the ground. It wriggled its slender body and crawled slowly. Its body twisted into a wavy line.
After kicking Scholar Xue heavily again, Fan Beiran walked towards the siblings and curled his lips in disdain. “He confessed.”
“He said that he stole this Love Gu from an old Daoist from Wuliang Temple. That old Daoist’s Daoist name is ‘Yun Qiu’. He’s a short and fat old Daoist in his sixties.”
Fan Beiran stood with his arms crossed and glanced disdainfully at the dying Scholar Xue on the ground.
This scholar was really a ruffian. He said that Fan Mushuang praised his handwriting and appreciated his talent. Because of this, he fell in love with Fan Mushuang at first sight and went to the main hall to ask for fate. An old Daoist saw that he was infatuated and said that he could fulfill his wish. That was why he gave him a pair of Love Gu and let him get what he wanted.
Bah!
Did he really think that Master Fan was a fool?!
Fan Beiran beat him up again before the scholar told the truth.
“Ah.” Fan Mushuang seemed to have thought of something. His eyes widened slightly as he clapped his hands. “Last November, I accompanied my mother to Wuliang Temple and donated some incense money. The Daoist priest of Wuliang Temple even gave my mother a handwritten copy of the Tao Te Ching.”
“I’ve only been there once… Ah!”
Halfway through, Fan Mushuang screamed with a pale face. Her voice broke, and she was about to stomp her feet.
“It, it, it… why is it crawling towards me?” Fan Mushuang pointed at the squirming child Gu on the ground. The child Gu slowly crawled towards Fan Mushuang, getting closer and closer.
The little girl’s right hand was trembling, and so was her voice. Coupled with her harmless little round face, she looked like a pitiful little white rabbit.
She wasn’t afraid of the heavens or the earth. She had never been afraid of those snakes, insects, rats, and ants since she was young. Except for the worm in front of her, she wasn’t afraid of anything else!
Fan Beiran wanted his sister to hide beside him. However, before he could say anything, he saw that Fan Mushuang was already hiding behind Gu Yanfei impatiently. She looked like a cute and moving little bird.
Fan Beiran:”…”
Gu Yuan silently turned his face and sneered.
Gu Yanfei took out a talisman from her sleeve and held it between her index and middle fingers. She shook it gently, and a corner of the talisman ignited without fire.
A bright fire lit up Gu Yanfei’s small face. Her fair skin was like a shining pearl in the dim old house, making her look dignified and otherworldly.
The child Gu on the ground seemed to have been burned by fire. Its slender body bounced back in shock. Almost at the same time, the “line” under Scholar Xue’s forehead also bounced up, causing Scholar Xue to let out another painful scream.
“Back off,” Gu Yanfei said calmly.
Gu Yuan and Fan Beiran took a few steps back as instructed, while Fan Mushuang still leaned against Gu Yanfei, holding onto her arm, almost like a pendant hanging by her side.
The child Gu fled and changed directions, crawling towards Scholar Xue. It stretched out, shrank, twisted, and moved.
The closer the child Gu got, the more painful Scholar Xue felt his forehead was. His head was splitting, and he felt as if something was rolling around in his mind, scaring him so much that his soul almost left his body.
He wanted to escape, but his right shoulder had been dislocated, and several bones in his body were broken. His body didn’t listen to him at all.
Unable to get up, he could only keep rubbing his back against the ground and move back with difficulty. He was sweating profusely as he shouted, “Spare me! I know my mistake!”
“Isn’t Fifth Miss Fan fine?!”
“Help…”
Amidst Scholar Xue’s miserable scream, the parasite finally crawled slowly onto his body and crawled into his nostrils bit by bit. Its slender body gradually sank…
In the end, its entire body was gone.
This scene gave Fan Mushuang goosebumps again. The hairs on her neck and arms stood on end.. She leaned closer to Gu Yanfei and asked in a low voice, “What… what will happen to him?”
