Chapter 2018 - 1596: Imperial Gu Doorman, Scared to Death!

Gu Changsheng stopped speaking, but the meaning in her words was extremely clear.

If something really happened to Shi Wujue, even Gu Changsheng didn’t know how she would react!

Even in front of Zhou Mu, Gu Changsheng did not hesitate to admit that Shi Wujue was indeed very important to her, and Zhou Mu himself naturally knew this!

Not finding out the reason why Shi Wujue suddenly became disheartened, Gu Changsheng’s mood was a bit low and worried...

As the saying goes, a heart disease needs a heart remedy; without finding the root cause, it’s impossible to prescribe the right medicine, and Gu Changsheng didn’t know if the recent events would repeat the past!

However, at the moment, she truly had no way out.

Smelting City was not her Southern Country. Here, even if Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu had great skills, it was unfamiliar territory to them, and they had no way out, so all they could do was wait!

Wait to understand why Shi Wujue had become like this, and wait for the crux of the issue to surface on its own!

While Shi Wujue was resting, Gu Changsheng and the others didn’t go to disturb him, only Duo Shu stayed by his side without leaving.

Duo Shu was genuinely scared out of his wits by his master’s actions this time. He didn’t know what he would do if something happened to his master!

So, all they could do was guard, remain loyal, and accompany him through everything!

Thus, time flew by quickly. The sun climbed to the center of the sky and then fell behind the Western Mountain, and after dinner was sent to Gu Changsheng’s small courtyard, Alliance Leader Yong Qing, carrying a heart full of anxiety, appeared at the entrance of Gu Changsheng’s courtyard.

Seeing that the herbs he had sent to the gate of the courtyard were already taken, Alliance Leader Yong Qing’s anxious heart not only didn’t settle, but became even more uneasy.

No other reason, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu used the Transformative Realm’s secret talk while transmitting messages, and as a Master of the Transformative Realm, Yong Qing could hear everything clearly. In addition, Gu Changsheng and her team took the herbs that he delivered, which meant that Gu Changsheng already knew that he knew their identities.

Not knowing Gu Changsheng’s identity, Alliance Leader Yong Qing could do nothing with this ancestor, and now knowing it, he was even more unsure...

Speaking of which, the good Southern Emperor Empress was supposed to go to the North Mongolia Royal City to attend the Legitimate Princess’s alliance wedding, but why wasn’t she properly heading to the Royal City and instead appeared in this exceedingly remote Smelting City?

If it was said to be a passage, that would be unreasonable, as it was far off the beaten path, almost like a journey in an almost opposite direction!

If not just passing through, then what were these peerless figures doing in Smelting City?

Isn’t it obvious they have another agenda?

"Ah, my teeth are aching..." sighed Alliance Leader Yong Qing, drew a deep breath to steady himself, opened the gate to the small courtyard.

As expected, as the gate to the courtyard opened, a massive snake’s head appeared in front of Alliance Leader Yong Qing...

Lantern-like snake eyes, wide open, and from the snake’s mouth, a crimson forked tongue flickered...

Even though Alliance Leader Yong Qing was well-traveled, he still couldn’t help but instinctively step back from fright at the sight of the Soul-Devouring Python...

Look!

He said, didn’t he? This was clearly a Gu Python!

Only his simple-minded to the point of foolish disciple would mistake such an intelligent Gu Python for an ordinary Python that had eaten too much and gotten too fat!

Just look at it, it’s scary enough to kill someone!

"Well... this old man has some business, requests to see your Feeder..." Alliance Leader Yong Qing forced a smile on his old face, trying to recall the Southern Border forms of address he heard in the Itinerant World, and finally managed to say it, upon which he was covered in cold sweat!

Terrifying, just too terrifying!

Even though the Divine Mount Qilian was full of snakes, rats, and beasts, there was no Gu Python like this one that stared at you like this, making every pore on your body feel like exploding!

The Soul-Devouring Python looked at Alliance Leader Yong Qing again and again, its snake eyes full of scrutiny. In its simple snake brain, it finally found memories of this old man, remembering that this old man had come before and had left lots of herbs at the door, making its head hurt and being an eyesore, so it had to drag them away to a place where they were less of a nuisance...

Joking, how could its Feeder Master lack herbs?

If its Feeder Master didn’t leave with herbs, it wouldn’t have been a good Imperial Gu, reduced to a beast of burden, would it?

Humph!

The snake head cocked arrogantly, the Soul-Devouring Python still slithered into the courtyard, swaying its tail...

The feeling of being able to steer with a tail is absolutely delightful; it never wants to carry things again in its life, hoping Shi Wujue would be ill for a long time and use up all those herbs its Feeder Master brought!

This was indeed the simplest wish of the Soul-Devouring Python at that moment!

However, what the Soul-Devouring Python didn’t know was, if its Feeder Master knew this simple wish, they would definitely skin it and boil it into snake soup!

As the Feeder of the Soul-Devouring Python, Gu Changsheng, as soon as the Soul-Devouring Python came into her line of sight, she instinctively understood why it came!

"The Alliance Leader of the Mercenary Alliance is here?" Gu Changsheng tilted his head, speaking to his own evildoer.

Just what purpose does Alliance Leader Yong Qing have for visiting now!

Moreover, it seems Alliance Leader Yong Qing already knows their identities. After all, he is the only Master of the Transformative Realm in the Mercenary Alliance. Previously, they used the transformative cryptic language to communicate, easily deceiving others, but causing trouble under Alliance Leader Yong Qing’s watch seems a bit difficult...

"Let’s go take a look and we’ll find out," Zhou Mu thought for a moment, nodded, and said.

Either way, the fact that they are in the Tashi Tribe, at Divine Mount Qilian, can no longer be hidden from the Royal City’s sights, so whether their identities are revealed doesn’t make much difference to them.

It’s just that outsiders not knowing their identities makes things less troublesome for them.

"Mm." Gu Changsheng heard and responded, putting down the herbs in his hand, nodding at the Soul-Devouring Python, then turning to head to the small courtyard’s reception hall.

The Soul-Devouring Python accepted its feeder lord’s meaning, swayed its snake tail, turned its head, and headed towards the gate.

This time, its feeder lord brought few people along, so it could take on the doorman’s task with its proud status as the Imperial Gu!

Although the Soul-Devouring Python felt a bit aggrieved to be the doorman, when thinking about the sorrow of being a mule, it suddenly felt being a doorman was great, being a doorman was wonderful, at least it didn’t have to climb with a raised tail!

In comparison, the Soul-Devouring Python was pleasantly balanced...

Upon seeing the Soul-Devouring Python crawling over again, Alliance Leader Yong Qing instinctively took a step back. Such a massive Gu Python is undeniably unnerving, not fearing it isn’t an option!

Heaven knows if this Gu Python gets displeased, would it start swallowing people whole!

If that were the case, he’d truly die without final peace.

The enormous snake body stopped at the small courtyard entrance. The Soul-Devouring Python raised its proud snake head, looked down on Alliance Leader Yong Qing with a glance as though scrutinizing, or as if granting favor, then gently nodded before turning and swaying its snake tail, heading inside the courtyard...

Experiencing being scrutinized by a Gu Python for the first time, it has to be said, the feeling is quite startling. At the very least, Alliance Leader Yong Qing was indeed startled!

To the extent that, when the Soul-Devouring Python had crawled several meters ahead, noticing no one following behind, it turned its head in displeasure to glare angrily, and Alliance Leader Yong Qing still hadn’t fully returned to his senses!

The Soul-Devouring Python, worthy of being an Imperial Gu, its angry glare is rather intimidating!

In the blink of an eye, Alliance Leader Yong Qing snapped back to reality, and realizing this, he was already drenched in cold sweat!

Godfather, what does this mean?

Does it mean he’s supposed to come inside?

Southern Emperor, oh Southern Emperor, ancestors, oh ancestors, could you at least send someone who speaks human language to watch the door?

Sending someone who is neither human nor a python to convey messages, isn’t this bullying?

Despite the grievances in his heart, Alliance Leader Yong Qing still raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and, hugging the thick stack of employment sheets, followed the Soul-Devouring Python through the gate...

God knows, as a man, he can understand the meaning of a Gu Python, Alliance Leader Yong Qing himself is quite impressed with himself!

Is it easy for him, is it?

If this goes on, he’ll feel like he can become proficient in snake language!

Alliance Leader Yong Qing was nearly moved to tears by himself. God knows, within the Mercenary Alliance and even the Smelting City, he, old Yong Qing, is at least a prominent figure. Who would have thought, the day would come when he’d be taken messages by a Gu Python in his own territory, having to follow behind its tail like a mere servant...

Being a servant truly doesn’t feel good!

Although it can give rise to the illusion of still being quite young...

But, Alliance Leader Yong Qing just feels, actually, he’s aged ten years! Meeting Southern Emperor or something is truly anxiety-inducing, this heart is wavering like eighteen buckets...

You say, for Southern Emperor to be Southern Emperor is fine, but why a woman’s family, why be so formidable?

Alliance Leader Yong Qing promises, if Southern Emperor weren’t more formidable than him, solely based on her shameless demeanor, he’d risk this old body to fight her!

But reality often comes off sorrowfully...

Southern Emperor Changsheng, that ancestor, is fated to be more formidable than him. Not only is she more formidable, but she also has several equally formidable people around her...

It’s simply outrageous!

Completely denying local tycoons what opportunity to act as strong dragons...

Carrying a heart full of anxiety, hugging the employment sheets, Alliance Leader Yong Qing followed the Soul-Devouring Python into the small courtyard, all while composing his words internally, fearing a misstep and upsetting the ancestor inside, leading to a thrashing...
