Chapter 2083 - 1655: Provoke by Threatening Her Son

Seeing Gu Changsheng’s face and attitude change because of his words, Jin Luoyi suddenly felt a surge of confidence, almost as if he were floating!

However, how could Gu Changsheng possibly give him the chance to continue floating?

Almost the moment Jin Luoyi’s words landed, Gu Changsheng’s figure moved, quick as lightning, catching him off guard!

Jin Luoyi only felt a sudden tightening around his neck, his laughter choked in his throat, unable to continue laughing. When he looked down, he was immediately shocked!

When?

When did this damned woman’s hand actually grab my throat?

With his life in someone else’s hands, Jin Luoyi immediately quieted down. His eyes followed Gu Changsheng’s arm, meeting Gu Changsheng’s cold face. Jin Luoyi opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say!

"Jin Luoyi, daring to be someone else’s spearhead, you should have the awareness to be a spearhead. I don’t want to deal with the people behind you for now, but if I wanted to crush you, it would be as easy as crushing an ant!" Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes glimmered with cold light, staring unblinkingly at Jin Luoyi as she said coldly, "Do you believe that if I move my hand a bit more, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death, Jin Luoyi?"

"I... I... I believe!"

The threat from his throat made it difficult for Jin Luoyi to even speak. This woman was truly angry!

Just because of his words, she was angry!

The woman behind him was indeed right; hearing these words, this damned woman would definitely be anxious, certainly anxious!

"Speak! What exactly do you want to say? Something about the Southern Emperor’s ceremonial army!"

Even though Gu Changsheng knew deep in her heart that Jin Luoyi’s words might not be trustworthy, since it concerned her ceremonial army and her Dark Night Army, she dared not gamble, nor could she!

She needed to know what happened to her ceremonial army, even if the news was false; she still had to know!

"The Southern Emperor’s ceremonial army keeps marching towards the Northern Mongolia Royal City, but suddenly halted along the way, as if searching for someone. It’s said this person is extremely important to the general currently leading the ceremonial army. But there are also rumors that what they’re actually looking for are a few children, among whom is Southern Emperor Changsheng’s son, the Little Prince of the Southern Country, Gu Ze!" Under Gu Changsheng’s threat, Jin Luoyi spoke his words intermittently...

Upon hearing that her ceremonial army was looking for a child, Gu Changsheng knew something was amiss, and hearing the last part made her feel as if she were struck by lightning, falling back...

Seeing this, how could Jin Luoyi not run away?

The moment Gu Changsheng retracted her hand and his throat was free again, Jin Luoyi scrambled up and ran frantically towards his own people’s direction!

Horrifying!

Absolutely horrifying!

That woman called Immortal was not only ugly but also bold. For a moment, Jin Luoyi really thought she would kill him! Would really kill him!

Thinking of his ghost-like uncle in the Mercenary Alliance, Jin Luoyi suddenly felt this woman was truly not someone to provoke, and he felt used by that "miss" who followed him!

"Little Roubao’s presence in North Mongolia has been leaked!"

The moment Gu Changsheng’s body fell, she was caught by Zhou Mu!

Leaning weakly in her evildoer’s embrace, Gu Changsheng murmured almost absent-mindedly.

Jin Luoyi’s words were not entirely factual, and Gu Changsheng naturally wouldn’t fully trust them, but there was one indisputable fact: the information that her Little Roubao was still in North Mongolia had leaked!

At the very least, Jin Luoyi knew about it, which meant those around him, possibly the three people from the Sand Sea, knew about it too!

"Don’t worry yet, this is just Jin Luoyi’s ploy to provoke us!" Zhou Mu looked at the little woman trembling slightly in his arms with concern and tried to comfort her softly.

"I know this is a provocation, but Zhou Mu, you know, no one other than us knows about Xiao Roubao still being in Northern Mongolia, not even Diao Chan and the others. They wouldn’t stop midway to look for Xiao Roubao! However, Jin Luoyi somehow knows. It must be those three who told him! Although they might not necessarily find Xiao Roubao and the others, they definitely found out that Xiao Roubao hasn’t returned to Great Zhou!" said Gu Changsheng, taking a deep breath to steady herself as she pondered over the situation.

Based on the timeline, the ruse of escorting goods back to Great Zhou to cover Xiao Roubao’s return has been exposed. Xiao Roubao didn’t appear in Great Zhou, which means there’s only one possibility: he’s still in Northern Mongolia!

Anyone paying attention and thinking a bit would be able to figure this out. The problem is, how did those people know that Xiao Roubao didn’t return to Great Zhou and isn’t in her ceremonial army either?

Gu Changsheng did not doubt the loyalty of her ceremonial army, considering that this time, they were entirely made up of the Dark Night Army!

However, Gu Changsheng worried for her Xiao Roubao!

He was her only son!

"Don’t worry, Yaoyao is exceptionally clever, and not only is Little Monk Bu Jie and others with them, but our two spirit bodies are also silently guarding him. There should be no problem! It’s your panic now that has played right into Jin Luoyi’s scheme, into his provocation tactics!" said Zhou Mu, raising his hand to gently rub Gu Changsheng’s head, as he pondered aloud.

Gu Changsheng sighed again, "For me to fall into their provocation, the prerequisite is that the method they use is apt! Besides the half-true, half-false messages from Jin Luoyi, just the leak of Xiao Roubao’s location has already put him in hidden danger. How can you ask me to be at ease?"

At this point, Gu Changsheng turned back, grabbed Zhou Mu’s sleeve, and said softly, "Evildoer, I miss my son. Let’s finish things here quickly and go back to find him, shall we?"

"Alright!" Zhou Mu agreed immediately, glancing down at Gu Changsheng.

He simply couldn’t refuse any request from the woman in his arms!

It seemed that spoiling her, indulging her, had long become a habit for Zhou Mu, as if it was innate!

"Thank you..." A smile finally appeared on Gu Changsheng’s face as she lifted her head to plant a kiss on Zhou Mu’s jaw, springing up from his embrace, then dusting off her clothes and calling out to Yuan Bao, "Yuan Bao, pack up. We’re setting off. I truly want to see what this Misty Prohibition is all about, and whether it can stop me from moving forward!"

"Ah? Mistress, no need to pack, right? You forgot how long Jin Luoyi and the others spent crashing into that Misty Prohibition wall yesterday? None of them got in, remember? We probably won’t be able to either. Just leave things here, in case we can’t get in, we can come back and use them again; packing and unpacking is quite troublesome!" Yuan Bao didn’t have much hope that their group would pass through the Misty Prohibition.

After all, Jin Luoyi had over a hundred people with him, and none of them managed to advance further inside that Misty Prohibition. How lucky would they have to be to just pass through it so easily with their group?

"Yuan Bao, why do you always favor others and belittle yourself? At a time like this, be confident; confidence can overcome everything, understand?" Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes at Yuan Bao and shook her head in disappointment.

"Fell for their provocation scheme, and Mistress, you walk right into the trap so righteously!" Yuan Bao responded, scratching his nose with a wry smile, "Yesterday you confidently claimed you’d be the mantis stalked by the oriole, and now, thanks to Jin Luoyi’s words, you’re turning from the oriole into the mantis!"

Yuan Bao was actually unwilling to see their mistress take risks!

The incident at the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms was still fresh in his mind. Each recollection made his heart clench. He didn’t want their mistress to encounter any mishap again; his little heart couldn’t handle the fright anymore!

"Yuan Bao, where did all these complaints come from? Is it so hard for you to pack up? Are you plotting a rebellion?" Gu Changsheng put her hands on her hips, looking all steamed up and said.

It had been a long time since she did her teapot stance; doing it again, Gu Changsheng didn’t feel awkward at all, her movements were fluid.

"Alright, no matter what I say, Mistress, you won’t stop. I’ll pack things up right away!" Seeing this, Yuan Bao immediately raised the white flag, starting to gather the mats and other items from the ground. While collecting, he muttered, "Mistress, you want to break through that Misty Prohibition, fine, but promise Yuan Bao to let Yuan Bao go first. Neither you nor Young Master should get hurt; Yuan Bao’s skin is thick, and my life’s cheap. If I die, it’s not a great deal of harm..."

"Yuan Bao..." Gu Changsheng was staring ahead at the endless Misty Prohibition when she heard him and immediately spoke, "Hold that crow mouth of yours; what’s with all this talk of dying? With a rascal like you, just follow me and be a nuisance for a millennium!"

"..." Yuan Bao fell silent at her remark.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Jin Luoyi clutched his neck as he returned to his group, grumbling quite a bit. However, Fufeng Tianlan paid no heed to Jin Luoyi’s complaints, keeping his gaze subtly trained on Gu Changsheng’s group. As Gu Changsheng and her party began packing, a hidden smile emerged on Fufeng Tianlan’s face beneath his veiled hat...

"Imperial Brother, you have such poor taste to favor a foolish woman like this!"

After this murmur, the curve of Fufeng Tianlan’s lips grew even more pronounced, and his eyes’ cold gleam intensified, "Originally, news from Great Zhou mentioned not seeing that wretched son of Gu Changsheng..."
