Both worlds are like dreams

Xue Huang sneered in the darkness, her eyes full of sarcasm and sadness, but her tone was calm and calm, "Really? I suddenly don't want to kill you anymore. Because I think it would be too easy for you to die like this."

"Yes, death is really nothing to me. If you want to torture me, you have to use other means." Mo Yunchen also laughed, "It's not bad for us to torture each other like this, what do you think?"

Xue Huang remained silent, but her hands tightly grasped the quilt.

Yes. Why should she bear all this pain alone? He must be like her, unable to get what he wants and in agony.

Xue Huang closed her eyes, tears flowing silently, soaking the pillow.

Mo Yunchen turned around quietly and saw her shoulders twitching slightly. He knew she was crying.

He couldn't help but stretch out his hand to touch her, but it was just an inch away. He silently withdrew his hand. In fact, if he just stretched out his hand further, he could touch her, but he felt that she was still so far away from him.

Mo Yunchen was a little confused and stared at her back in silence for a long time.

Xuehuang slept uneasily and woke up early.

As soon as she moved, Mo Yunchen also opened his eyes.

Xuehuang didn't say anything. She got out of bed from the foot of the bed and put on her clothes.

Soon she finished washing up, and without caring what Mo Yunchen was doing, she just walked out.

Rong Yu had just come back from practicing a set of swordsmanship. When he saw Xue Huang coming out, he went up to her.

"You don't look well, did you not get enough rest?"

Xue Huang shook her head, "It's okay."

"Come with me."

Xue Huang followed Rong Yu to his room and circulated her internal energy throughout her body with his help.

With the help of Rong Yu's skills, Xue Huang's injuries improved significantly.

"Thank you, uncle."

"Still, you can't use your internal energy."

Xue Huang nodded.

Rong Yu looked at her and saw that there was no trace of the mischievous look he remembered her to be, and he sighed in his heart.

"Are you hungry? I'll take you for a walk. What do you want to eat?"

"it is good."

Rong Yu greeted Mo Ruilin, then took Xue Huang out of the general's mansion.

The city of Muhua is bustling in the morning, with snack stalls everywhere in the market.

The alluring aroma wafted into Xue Huang's nose, and it was rare for her to show a hint of interest.

Rong Yu took her to a stall and sat her down, and ordered two crab meat dumplings and a bowl of seafood soup.

"Try it and see if it's as good as Dongchu's."

Xuehuang took a soup dumpling and tasted it. She didn't dislike it. She tasted the seafood soup again and drank several mouthfuls in succession.

Rong Yu asked for another bowl for her, "Drink slowly."

"Uncle, do you also know my identity?"

Rong Yu nodded.

"So you took me to Dongchu and asked for the Princess of Dongchu for me, just to give me an extra amulet?"

"That's right. Only the identity of a princess from another country can protect your life when your identity is exposed. This is what Yunzhou and I have always planned, because I know that you will definitely choose to go back."

"No wonder," Xue Huang sighed, "What about Grandpa?"

"know."

"I think he should know this, otherwise he wouldn't correct me calling him Second Uncle."

"No matter who you are, in Master's heart, you are his granddaughter."

"How can I be so worthy of your sincere protection in this life?"

She had the Gu family in her previous life and Guigu in this life. She is truly blessed by God.

"So remember, no matter what happens, Master and I will keep you safe."

"I know."

"I mean, whatever you want to do, you're not alone."

Xue Huang remained silent.

"I know you. You have always been a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment since childhood. You will definitely not turn a blind eye to the hatred of destroying a country."

"Yes. Every time I go into the Taiji Hall, I seem to hear the cries of countless innocent souls who died there. This blood debt cannot be brushed aside like this."

"I'll help you."

Xue Huang was touched. Rong Yu never cared about worldly affairs, but whenever it came to matters involving his fellow disciples, his sword would always be an exception.

But she didn't want Rong Yu to get into trouble because of them. He was a sword immortal and should be aloof from the world and live freely.

"Uncle, this is my own business. It has nothing to do with you and Grandpa. I don't want you to be involved in this feud because of me."

“That’s my personal position.”

"I really don't want the people I care about to get hurt again." Xue Huang looked at him seriously. "My second uncle and I can handle it. Uncle, you and grandpa can go back after we return to Shangyang City."

Rong Yu didn't say anything more, just said: "Let's eat first."

Xue Huang nodded and finished her breakfast in silence.

"Uncle, can you accompany me to a place?"

"Let's go."

The place Xuehuang wanted to go was actually Doctor Wen’s residence.

He is still recuperating in his clinic. Hua Yu said that he was worried about his disciples and wanted to give them more guidance.

Some of the people in the clinic recognized Xue Huang and immediately expressed their excited welcome.

Upon learning of Xue Huang's purpose, he hurried to inform Doctor Wen.

Xue Huang didn't want to trouble Doctor Wen, so she went in together.

As expected, Doctor Wen came out tremblingly, supported by someone, to greet them. Xue Huang quickly stopped him from saluting.

"Doctor Wen, there's no need to be so polite."

"I didn't expect to see the princess again." Doctor Wen was quite excited.

"Please sit down."

Several people sat down in the hall, and Xuehuang also introduced Rong Yu's identity.

Doctor Wen then asked someone to serve tea.

Xue Huang carefully observed his complexion. Although she did not know medicine, she could tell that Doctor Wen was in very poor health.

She asked about his condition with concern, and Dr. Wen seemed to be very open-minded.

"Birth, aging, illness and death are normal, and doctors are no exception. Now I only hope that my disciples can inherit my medical skills, help the needy and save the world, and then I will die without regrets."

"I've heard that all of Doctor Wen's disciples are highly skilled in medicine."

Doctor Wen also smiled with satisfaction, "They are all good kids. Look, they already have their own clinic, but they still come to accompany an old man like me."

"Doctor Wen is highly respected and worthy of their respect."

"By the way, are Mr. Dongfang and Mr. Lin doing well now? We discussed together how to cure diseases and save lives. Although the three of us have different medical methods, they are both rare medical geniuses."

"They're all fine."

"That's good." Doctor Wen smiled.

"Doctor Wen, in fact, besides coming to visit you, I also have something to ask of you."

"Princess, you don't have to be polite. Feel free to speak."

"Do you know about witchcraft?"

"Gu Shu?" Doctor Wen raised his eyebrows. "Are you talking about the poisonous Gu Shu that is popular among the Wu clan?"

Xue Huang nodded.

"I have heard a little bit about it. It is said that the poison technique is very mysterious. Some of the strange poisons can even be classified as evil techniques."

"That's right. Doctor Wen is very knowledgeable. Have you ever heard of the witch tribe having a kind of Gu technique called the Heart-Eating Gu?"

"Heart-eating Gu?" Doctor Wen pondered for a moment. "I seem to have seen a description of this Gu in medical books, but there is no clear method for refining it. I only know that it seems to be attracted by the blood in the human heart, and there are other unknown Gu insects."

"Yes, it does use the heart blood as a lure. Anyone who is infected with this Gu cannot get close to the owner of the heart blood."

"I have never heard of this. I only know that it seems to be very powerful. When it occurs, it is like thousands of insects gnawing at one's heart, torturing a person to a point where life is worse than death."

Xue Huang's hands unconsciously clenched, "Do you know a solution or a way to suppress it?"

"I am ashamed to say that I have only heard of the mysteries of Gu magic, but I am not familiar with it in depth, so I don't know how to remove it. Why do you ask this, Princess? Is someone infected with the Heart-Eating Gu?"

Xue Huang was silent, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Doctor Wen saw this and said, "The one who tied the bell must be the one who can untie it. Since the Heart-Eating Gu came from the Witch Valley, perhaps we can find a way to crack it there."

"Thank you for your advice, Doctor Wen."

Xue Huang didn't get the answer she wanted, so she advised Doctor Wen to take care of himself, and then left with Rong Yu.

Walking on the busy street, Xuehuang felt a little lost.

Rong Yu knew what was on her mind and comforted her: "Don't worry, you will find it."

Xue Huang nodded.

Seeing that she was still in a bad mood, Rong Yu had no choice but to accompany her for a walk.

Muhua City was bustling with lights and decorations and the sound of gongs and drums. After asking around, I found out that today was the Qiyuan Festival.

There are dragon parades, lion dances, magic tricks and jugglery on the streets.

There were many things that Xue Huang had never seen before, so she found them novel and there was finally a glimmer of light in her eyes.
