After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband

Chapter 1190 - 20: Journey to the Southern Border (Part 9)

Chu Shun didn’t feel there was any problem with the words he spoke.Someone put Gu poison on his wife, and it was natural for him to want it removed, although his words might not be effective.

But saying it was effortless, so why not say it?

What he didn’t expect was that right after he finished speaking, the Holy Daughter suddenly turned around to look at him.

That cold and pale face, with a bloodthirsty hostility, startled Chu Shun.

The elder wanted to come over, but the Holy Daughter stopped him and said, "Let’s go."

The elder’s gaze swept over Chu Shun, his eyebrows subtly furrowing, and then he turned to follow the Holy Daughter away.

Once they had gone far, Chu Shun turned to Qin Hanhan and asked, "Are you really okay?"

Qin Hanhan shook her head, "I’m really fine."

Despite Qin Hanhan repeatedly saying she was fine, Chu Shun couldn’t help but worry.

Actually, Qin Hanhan also felt uneasy deep down.

The Holy Daughter was full of hostility towards her from the moment they met, how could she allow the Gu worm to remain in her body?

Qin Hanhan wanted to force the Gu worm out.

But no matter how hard she tried, the Gu worm wouldn’t emerge, and instead, her protective Gu seemed restless.

Qin Hanhan released the protective Gu, and the Gu worm quickly disappeared.

Chu Shun’s mouth twitched uncontrollably as he looked at Qin Hanhan and said, "Did your Gu worm take the wrong medicine?"

"Normally it’s brave enough to climb onto the dining table, but now it’s running so fast."

Qin Hanhan also found it strange.

Her protective Gu seemed to fear something.

Could it be afraid of the golden Gu worm inside her body?

Qin Hanhan abandoned the idea of forcing the Gu worm out, and soon, her protective Gu returned.

Qin Hanhan, "..."

She raised her hand to rub her forehead.

If she wasn’t mistaken.

It was her trying to force the Gu worm out.

The Gu worm was putting pressure on her protective Gu.

Generally, a person raises only one protective Gu, was the one inside her also a protective Gu?

Thinking about how Princess Qi died, Qin Hanhan felt even more uneasy.

After leaving the prison, the Holy Daughter’s face looked even worse.

The elder sought her out not for anything else, but because a group previously sent down the mountain to collect poisonous herbs had died, and several others returned heavily poisoned, unable to be detoxified, asking her to save them with the Holy Gu.

In a moment of impulsiveness, she had planted the Holy Gu inside Qin Hanhan to verify her identity.

Now the Holy Gu was in her hand, how was she supposed to detoxify others?

If it were anyone else, it might be bearable, but one of the poisoned is the elder’s grandson.

The elder was the Seventh Elder of the Holy Mountain.

The Seventh Elder made a request by bowing, and the Holy Daughter’s hand clenched tightly, a subconscious gesture that caught the Seventh Elder’s attention.

"Let’s go and see," said the Holy Daughter.

After walking a few steps, the Holy Daughter staggered, and if not for the maid supporting her, she would have fallen.

She had vomited blood twice recently and hadn’t rested much, so being physically weak was normal.

But the elder frowned slightly, as when she was in the prison, the Holy Daughter’s cold eyes showed no sign of weakness.

Also, regarding that man’s words...

The Holy Daughter was supported to detoxify the Seventh Elder’s grandson, assuming she could detoxify without the Holy Gu, but unfortunately she couldn’t.

The Holy Daughter was so weak she fainted and was carried back.

The Seventh Elder checked his grandson’s pulse, his hands trembling.

The poison was attacking his heart; if not detoxified within an hour, even gods couldn’t save him.

"Why doesn’t the Holy Daughter use the Holy Gu to detoxify Man Shan?" asked the Fifth Elder.

The elders were at their wits’ end.

Unable to bear seeing his grandson die before him, the Seventh Elder thought of Qin Hanhan.

The Seventh Elder went back to the prison.

Inside the prison, Qin Hanhan sat cross-legged, rubbing her hungry stomach.

Chu Shun was shouting, "Someone!"

"Bring us some food!"

Qin Hanhan raised her hand to rub her forehead.

They were already imprisoned, yet her husband could still calmly ask for food, wasn’t his heart too big?

However, Chu Shun was indeed not worried about his own safety.

He was the Heir of Duke Jingguo of Daqi, coming to Wangu Mountain by the Emperor’s command to seek the Method of Gu Poison; if Wangu Mountain killed him, it would undoubtedly anger Daqi.

Even if the Emperor didn’t want the two nations to go to war, Xie Jingchen and Su Jin would surely avenge them.

Revealing their identity, Wangu Mountain would certainly send them down the mountain.

Having struggled hard to reach the mountain, if they were sent down, seeking the Method of Gu Poison would be as difficult as reaching the heavens.

Chu Shun shouted several times, but no one responded to them.

The Seventh Elder came over.

Chu Shun looked at him.

Qin Hanhan also stood up and said, "Why are we detained?"

The Seventh Elder looked at Qin Hanhan and said, "I just heard you mention a golden Gu worm. What does that Gu worm look like?"

Qin Hanhan shook her head, "I only had time to see the color before the Gu worm burrowed into my body."

The Seventh Elder stretched out his hand, "Let me check your pulse."

Qin Hanhan obediently complied.

The Seventh Elder placed his hand on Qin Hanhan’s pulse.

In a short moment, the Seventh Elder’s brow furrowed into a deep crease.

It was indeed the Holy Gu.

But why had the Holy Daughter put the Holy Gu on someone else?

Furthermore, why was the Holy Gu staying so calmly within her?

But now wasn’t the time to ponder these things; nothing was more important than saving his grandson’s life.

The Seventh Elder wanted to unlock the prison and release Qin Hanhan, but the prison guard hesitated and said, "Without the Holy Daughter’s order..."

"What?"

"Am I, the Seventh Elder of Wangu Mountain, unable to release two people without the Holy Daughter’s permission?!"

"If anything happens, I will bear all responsibility!"

The Seventh Elder’s voice was cold and firm.

The prison guards dared not speak further and unlocked the cell.

The Seventh Elder only released Chu Shun and Qin Hanhan, while the Hidden Guards remained imprisoned.

Chu Shun was a good master and, as he left the prison, instructed the guards, "Bring my men some food."

Without strength, how could they fight their way down the mountain?

The prison guards looked frustrated.

The Seventh Elder glanced over, "Bring them food."

"Yes."

Seeing the Seventh Elder bring Qin Hanhan and Chu Shun to his grandson’s residence, the other elders frowned deeply.

These people, as soon as they entered the Holy Mountain, caused the Holy Daughter to vomit blood.

They were indeed the Holy Daughter’s nemesis.

Keeping them on the Holy Mountain was already wrong, why did the Seventh Elder bring them here?

The Seventh Elder turned to Qin Hanhan and said, "Please help detoxify my grandson."

Qin Hanhan didn’t expect to be asked to detoxify.

But there were many experts on Wangu Mountain who used Gu to detoxify, wasn’t this making her look foolish?

But she also believed they wouldn’t joke with his grandson’s life.

If she could save the Seventh Elder’s grandson, perhaps she could learn from him the detoxification method for the Unity Gu.

Qin Hanhan sat down to check the pulse of the Seventh Elder’s grandson Man Shan, and said in embarrassment, "I can’t detoxify this poison."

The Seventh Elder knew she couldn’t, and he said, "Try using the Holy Gu within you."

Qin Hanhan, "....???"

The other elders were equally stunned.

"How does she have the Holy Gu in her body?!" the elders said in unison.

Qin Hanhan looked bewildered.

The Holy Daughter had put the Holy Gu inside her?

No wonder she felt comfortable...

"How do I try?" Qin Hanhan’s voice was weak.

The Seventh Elder was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt a headache.

Before saving his grandson, he had to teach her how to use the Holy Gu...

The method of using the Holy Gu was known by the elders, but since the Holy Gu obeyed only the Holy Daughter, knowing was useless to them.

The Seventh Elder was desperate and treating a dead horse as if it were alive.

Seeing Qin Hanhan’s bewildered expression, the Seventh Elder thought he might be crazy.

How could he think she could command the Holy Gu?

But since they were brought here, regardless of success, it was worth a try.

Qin Hanhan was skilled with Gu manipulation; the Seventh Elder taught her, and she learned quickly.

Earlier, the Holy Gu could not be forced out of her body, but now it easily emerged.

The elders were once again shocked.

It truly was the Holy Gu?!
