Doted By The Regent King

Chapter 1661 - 1599: You Lie Down, I’ll Handle It

Zhou Xueli bade farewell to his family and hurried towards Changan City with Mei Xiu, who also sent a message to his master on the way.

The news of Zhou Xuennian’s death had yet to reach Madam Zhou and others in Changan, and as usual, Wufu paid no attention to the happenings in Wozi Village and was unaware.

Even if she knew, Wufu couldn’t deal with it, for there was no other reason than Ah Jiu’s Gu poison had flared up ahead of time.

"We must guide the Gu immediately."

After exerting much effort, Ah Sang, in collaboration with the clan’s Gu Doctor, along with Bai Xiaobai, temporarily suppressed the Heart Gu in Ah Jiu, but the situation was critical, and they needed to guide it right away.

As early as two days ago, Wufu had already stopped nurturing the cursed Gu insect.

"But the Love Flower hasn’t returned." Wufu’s face looked grim.

Ah Sang looked at her sympathetically and said, "You can only pray to the heavens that they hurry and bring the Love Flower back."

Wufu’s heart sank, her pink lips pressed together.

"I will go with the elder to prepare the Formation Altar for the Gu Guiding, you should prepare too." After saying this, Ah Sang left.

Yan Er followed her, caught her hand, and asked with reddened eyes, "Is there really no other way?"

"Unless it’s absolutely necessary, we will never use that method." Ah Sang glanced inside the room and whispered.

Yan Er quickly asked, "What method?"

"Heart extraction."

Yan Er’s face turned pale, backing up two steps, her lips moving without being able to utter a word.

Inside the room, Wufu instructed Yuan Ye, "Take a few more people to check if they’re on the road. If so, come back quickly."

Yuan Ye nodded, left with a serious face to make arrangements, and saw Yan Er sitting absentmindedly on a spring stool, but had no time to ask what happened.

The situation was urgent, they had to race against time.

"Don’t worry, you have Wufu’s complete support." Ah Jiu’s face was devoid of color, he weakly touched the back of Wufu’s hand, forcing a smile, "I also have your blood flowing inside me, I am also one of Wufu’s complete support."

"Enough with the banter, save your energy and rest." Wufu glared at him.

"Mm, lie down with me for a while." Ah Jiu shifted a bit, making room.

Wufu lay down, turned to look at him, clasping his hand.

Their fingers intertwined tightly.

"Actually, we’ve exchanged Betrothal Letters, technically we’re also an engaged couple." Ah Jiu said.

Wufu leaned closer, "Then, what do you feel like doing?"

Ah Jiu was taken aback, bitterly smiling, "I’m sorry, but I’m unable."

"You don’t need to, just lie there, I’ll do it." Wufu withdrew her hand to undo his buttons.

Ah Jiu hurriedly grabbed her hand, "Wufu, don’t be naughty."

"Who’s being naughty?" Wufu swiftly turned over, lying on top of him, yet carefully ensured her weight didn’t burden him.

She propped herself on either side of his shoulders, unwaveringly watching him, saying, "I’m serious." She leaned down and kissed him.

"Wufu, don’t." Ah Jiu awkwardly turned away.

Wufu frowned, "You’re unwilling?"

"I’m willing." Ah Jiu looked at her and said, "But not now, not here."

He had other thoughts. If fortune should truly abandon him, destined to perish here, then at least she would remain untainted, able to find a good person in the future to marry, without incurring anyone’s reproach.

The thought of her marrying someone else made Ah Jiu’s heart ache unbearably.
