Light Dance Jiajing

The method used by the Gu King to draw blood once again surprised Mei'er. It was hard to tell what material the thin and long tube was made of. It was as white as a silk thread, only much thicker than a silk thread. The Gu King carefully fixed the middle section of the silk thread, and after Mei'er sat down, he took out a row of needles and gently pierced Mei'er's blood vessels. Seeing blood gushing out, he quickly inserted the extremely thin tip of the capillary tube, and saw that the blood turned dark red where it flowed through the capillary tube. The Gu King did the same thing, cutting open the blood vessels in his wrist and connecting them to the other end of the capillary tube. His position was low, so Mei'er's blood flowed into his body. Mei'er was amazed and couldn't help asking, "Old poison creature, have you also traveled through time?" The Gu King rolled his eyes at her. He didn't understand what Mei'er said, and concentrated on regulating his breathing.

After more than a month, even though the Gu King only took a little blood from Mei'er every day, after a month, Mei'er had become extremely pale. Finally, the Gu King announced that he would not take her blood anymore. Mei'er did not forget to chase the Gu King and asked, "Can you plant Gu in me now?"

The Gu King said unhappily: "Look, you fell down just by the wind. I need to nurse you back to health for another month." Then he turned away.

"You are about to lose half your life, ah, why are you so impatient." Ah Jin, who had never said much, could not help but say a few words.

Meng'er said stubbornly: "You see, I'm fine. Well, I'm just a little sleepy. I'll be fine after a nap." Then she yawned and went back to her room. Ajin didn't say anything else. He looked at the thin figure of the little girl and shook his head slightly.

The Gu King treated Mei'er very attentively. In just half a month, her complexion gradually became rosy. A few days later, the Gu King added a few more medicines to Mei'er. It smelled fishy and sour. Mei'er pinched her nose and found it difficult to swallow. She frowned and asked, "Old poisoner, what did you give me to drink?"

The Gu King said, "It can restrain the growth of the Gu worm. If you don't drink this, you will be dead when the Gu worm grows a tail." Mei'er said "oh" and drank the medicine soup in one gulp, enduring the nausea.

After drinking for three days in a row, she finally didn't have to drink anymore. Ah Jin always watched from afar, as if everything here had nothing to do with him. A Lai came over and said, "This girl is so thin and weak, I really underestimated her. She is a princess of the Ming Dynasty, she can be cruel to herself. It's just that planting this Gu... is not right..." Ever since Meng'er saved Ah Jin, A Lai began to protect her from the bottom of his heart. He also knew that if this Gu was planted, the life and death would be unpredictable, so he felt sorry for Meng'er. He sighed several times, "Brother, look at this heartless girl. She can even smile while basking in the sun." At this moment, Meng'er was lying on a bamboo chair, basking in the sun, feeling refreshed all over, with a faint curve at the corner of her mouth. The Gu King said that the Gu could be planted tomorrow, and she couldn't wait.

The process of growing the Gu was much simpler than Meng'er had imagined. The Gu King pierced her wrist with a silver needle, and then opened a tiny white porcelain cup. An almost transparent little insect crawled out following the smell of blood. Meng'er's blood seemed to have given the little insect great excitement. At first, it almost paced in the same place, gradually getting closer and closer to the pierced place. It moved faster and faster until it drilled into Meng'er's skin. Meng'er didn't feel anything, and the little insect could no longer be seen. Meng'er raised her eyes and wanted to ask the Gu King, is growing the Gu so simple? But the expression on King Gu's face was twitching with tears. He had devoted half his life to the blood Gu, but had not succeeded in thirty years. Although blood Gu was difficult to breed, breeding was not the most difficult part. The most distressing thing was that he had never succeeded in breeding a single case. At first, he only wanted to breed it for himself, but after repeated failures, he experimented on other people. Until this moment, he succeeded so easily. It turned out that the direction of his research had been wrong all along, totally wrong. Bloodline was the only choice for this blood Gu.

When the three guardians brought Zaihou back, Meng'er could no longer see anything wrong. Zaihou pulled her to look left and right, and seeing that Meng'er looked good, he believed her and thought that the Gu King had taken some blood from her fingertips for research. Meng'er continued to coax Zaihou: "See, I didn't lie to you. The Gu King has already refined the antidote. You must listen to me obediently."

Zaihou still said anxiously: "Sister, didn't this old man plant a Gu for you?"

Mei'er said seriously: "It's not that easy for the old man to trick me into planting a Gu. I'm not stupid, so I won't let him succeed." Zaihou looked at Mei'er's face for a long time, and Mei'er looked back at him openly. Seeing this, Zaihou finally felt relieved.

"How long do you plan to keep it a secret? He will find out sooner or later." Ajin asked after Zaihou left.

Without thinking, Meng'er said, "It's better to delay it for a while. It's better not to let him know forever."

Ah Jin shook his head: "He is not a child anymore, he should bear the responsibility himself."

Meng'er disagreed: "He is only ten years old, still a child. I will never let him bear any burden that I can bear. I just want him to have a carefree childhood."

Ah Jin sighed, "Have you forgotten how old you are?"
