Chapter 1988 - 1569: Simple and Direct, Just Do It!

Zhou Mu’s interest was instantly piqued when he heard that the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp would appear at the Divine Weapon Convention.

Seeing this, Yong Shu also naturally understood why he was so concerned about the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp. After all, the woman in his arms seemed listless, clearly suffering from a Divine Soul Injury!

"The Divine Weapon Convention will be held the day after tomorrow. Anyone in Smelting City can participate. If you are interested, you might as well wait until after the Divine Weapon Convention to take on any employment contracts. That way, you can attend!"

Yong Shu thought it over and decided to be honest.

"Alright." Zhou Mu’s response was crisp and direct.

Glancing at the frail woman in his arms, Zhou Mu did not want to delay any longer.

Now that he knew what could help his little woman overcome the pain of her Divine Soul Injury, Zhou Mu would naturally find a way, and there was no need to discuss it with an outsider like Yong Shu!

"Well then, my wife is not feeling well, so we won’t keep you. Whatever we need, I will tell the servants myself. Thank you for your trouble." Upon seeing his master’s expression, Yuan Bao knew that he didn’t want to continue, so he promptly spoke to see Yong Shu out.

The small courtyard Yong Shu had arranged for them was just the right size, enough for them to live in.

Even though Yuan Bao was a stout man, he was swift in his movements. He quickly unloaded the sacks from the Soul-Devouring Python, settled the items that his master and lady often used, and then began to light a fire to brew medicine...

Finally freed from the constraints of those sacks, the Soul-Devouring Python was so moved it wanted to cry, provided that a python could shed tears...

By the time Yuan Bao and Duo Shu brought the prepared food and herbal soup inside, Zhou Mu had already wiped and freshened up Gu Changsheng, whose spirits seemed slightly better, as she had opened her eyes...

As she ate, Gu Changsheng kept stealing glances at her evildoer and Shi Wujue...

These two never mentioned the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp, what was this nonsense?

Could it be that they were not at all worried about her health? Did they really want her to remain ill like this?

This wasn’t right...

Gu Changsheng thought, if they genuinely weren’t interested in the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp, then she, the patient, would have to act personally, because she was truly fed up with this Divine Soul Injury!

Not to mention how it had no apparent cause, even Gu Changsheng herself didn’t know why, but this injury was truly tormenting, restricting emotional fluctuations. Any significant emotion upheaval would surely consume her spirit and trigger the Divine Soul Injury, leading to all sorts of listlessness...

Who exactly was Gu Changsheng?

With a temper like a firecracker ready to explode at any moment, asking her to remain emotionally calm like a still ancient well, how was that possible?

That would be easier than killing her!

So, Gu Changsheng was utterly troubled by this Divine Soul Injury!

It’s not really an illness, nor an injury, and it doesn’t hurt, but it delays matters. Out of the blue, it causes fatigue and fainting, who could endure this?

Gu Changsheng was genuinely worried that one day she might not wake up from her sleep!

Thus, Gu Changsheng was determined to heal this Divine Soul Injury, and she was certainly going to borrow the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp!

"About that Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp, do you have any thoughts?" What about the old saying of ’Don’t speak while eating or sleeping’; Gu Changsheng had no such hangups, spooning some herbal porridge into her mouth, she looked at Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue and asked hesitantly.

Both of you, do you dare say you’re not interested?

If you don’t care about me, we won’t be able to stay friends!

Gu Changsheng’s gaze at Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue carried a hint of threat!

"Did you hear that?" Zhou Mu, busy refilling Gu Changsheng’s porridge, immediately turned, frowning as he spoke.

"How could I not hear? I’m just a bit dizzy due to fatigue, I’m not dead yet!" Gu Changsheng responded, rolling her eyes dramatically, but inwardly, she became aware.

It turns out her evildoer and Shi Wujue thought she was actually unconscious just now?

God bless, who knew this Divine Soul Injury was so peculiar that even in deep sleep, she remained alert!

Even though she heard Yong Shu’s words in bits and pieces, Gu Changsheng still understood them clearly.

"I will get the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp for you." Since his little woman already knew, Zhou Mu naturally didn’t hide it anymore and spoke up immediately.

They hadn’t mentioned it before in front of Gu Changsheng only to avoid worrying her. Since she had heard it, they couldn’t keep it from her to prevent her concerns.

"How will you get it? You make it sound so easy, as if the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp is just a roadside cabbage!" Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes again and said, "Although Yong Shu didn’t say it, Smelting City is renowned worldwide for its smelting techniques. The smelting masters in the city aren’t naive, and they have all sorts of Divine weapons for protection. It’s unlikely that Jiu Yu would readily agree to lend us her life’s work, which she’s about to compete with!"

"If she won’t lend it, then we’ll snatch it. How simple is that, wifey, you don’t need to worry." This time, before Zhou Mu could speak, Yuan Bao puffed his chest out and said with absolute certainty, acting as if he were born to rob and loot.

He completely forgot that he was a dignified head eunuch at the side of Crown Prince Mu of Great Zhou!

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of her mouth, shooting Yuan Bao a disdainful look and said, "Can you sound more like a bandit? We’re obviously the good guys, yet coming from you it sounds like we’re here to pick a fight?"

"I..." Yuan Bao felt extremely wronged after being told off by his lady, pouting, he muttered, "But I’m doing this for your sake, why aren’t you appreciating it..."

Of course, Yuan Bao didn’t dare to say that out loud.

Because complaining in front of his lady would purely be a pastime inviting trouble!

"Look, even my evildoer didn’t say that!" Gu Changsheng naturally wouldn’t let go of criticizing Yuan Bao, and turned to look at her own evildoer, saying, "Evildoer, don’t you agree? Who did our Yuan Bao learn this bandit nature from? You wouldn’t say that, would you?"

Zhou Mu heard this, and a trace of helplessness flashed across his divine-like face. Under Gu Changsheng’s hopeful gaze, he nodded slightly.

In his heart, however, he couldn’t help but grumble, who did Yuan Bao learn this bandit nature from?

Who else could it be?

Isn’t it this woman right in front of him?

However, Zhou Mu wouldn’t expose his own woman!

Beside them, Shi Wujue was twitching at the corners of his mouth, Gu Changsheng, this woman, Shi Wujue really didn’t know what to say about her. Even when she’s sick, she can’t hold herself still, always creating a stir without a wind, living freely, with an optimistic mindset that makes people envious.

Seeing her evildoer nod, Gu Changsheng immediately felt satisfied, then shot Yuan Bao a glance full of reproach, as if to say, look, your masters don’t have any bandit vibe at all, and if you’ve developed such a bandit vibe, it’s definitely your own fault!

Yuan Bao, being cornered by his own mistress, felt so frustrated he could cry!

Is there really no one who sees his good intentions?

Really no one?

As it turns out, there is...

For example...

After nodding, Zhou Mu, unchanged in expression, spoke calmly and plainly, "I wouldn’t say it, because..."

"I am planning to do just that!"

Some things, why bother wasting time saying them?

Isn’t it easier and more straightforward to just do it?

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng was stunned, holding a spoon in her mouth...

This can’t be real, right?

When did her evildoer also develop this bandit nature?

This cold joke isn’t funny at all.

Her evildoer should be like a lofty, cold iceberg, combined with a noble elegance, not someone who would do such robbery!

"Cough, cough..."

Hearing this, Shi Wujue immediately raised his hand to his forehead, speechless.

Although his thoughts were basically the same as Zhou Mu’s, seeing Zhou Mu say it so bluntly and seeing Gu Changsheng speechless, Shi Wujue inexplicably wanted to laugh.

But after laughing, there was only bitterness left.

He envied the way Zhou Mu and Gu Changsheng interacted, something he could never have in his lifetime...

This envy ***** ate away at Shi Wujue’s heart, even he didn’t know how long he could hold on...

Looking at the couple as beautiful as jade before him, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of Shi Wujue’s mouth, and his incredibly handsome face was full of desolation...

To him, perhaps only death would be a release...

The end of everything, the end of his predestined-to-not-have-an-ending feelings...

"Haha..." Gu Changsheng’s stiff face finally showed some expression, looking woodenly at her evildoer, Gu Changsheng muttered, "You’re joking, right?"

Her evildoer had told a lukewarm joke, and blocked her once, is this for real?

Is this for real?

Gu Changsheng couldn’t quite believe it.

"Do I look like I’m lying?" Zhou Mu raised an eyebrow, looking serious.

"Very much!" Gu Changsheng decisively nodded, it couldn’t be more like it, "How can you, such a proud person, do something as demeaning as robbery?"

"Then who should do it?" Zhou Mu asked, glancing at the little woman beside him, his face full of helpless indulgence.

In fact, he already knew what his little woman was about to say!

Sometimes, after being together for a long time, some things become tacit, and some habits become natural!

"Me, of course!" Gu Changsheng, with a sickly pale face, still pounded her chest with vigor, but the next moment, she bowed her head and suddenly started coughing...

"What’s wrong?" Zhou Mu’s expression changed at this, he quickly leaned over to help pat her back, and Shi Wujue also immediately stood up...

"Cough, cough, cough..." In the midst of coughing, Gu Changsheng’s face turned red, and she waved her hand repeatedly...
