Upon hearing Li Liuyun's words, Chu Lingtian quickly asked, "Is there anything I can do?"

Li Liuyun shook his head: "I don't need to remove the Gu, and I don't need the mother Gu. But I'll remove her Gu first, and I'll also take out the mother Gu in your body. Otherwise, I'm afraid that once the offspring Gu loses its life, the mother Gu might act strangely!"

Chu Lingtian sighed: "Before I met you all, I even thought about resolving things here a bit, and then committing suicide once things calmed down. If things went well, I might be able to return to the modern world. Even if things didn't go well, I could at least give the Empress her freedom. After all, that woman was quite innocent!"

After being trapped in the palace by Chu Batian for decades, things are finally going to return to normal. I can finally be free. Even if I can't go back to the modern world, I still have you all. I'm not all alone anymore. It's a great joy in my life. Meeting old friends in a foreign land!

For the rest of my life, I hope you two will continue to guide me. From now on, my only goal in life will be to make money, to work hard to make money! To improve the quality of life for these ancient people!

By the way, do you guys have any projects in hand? Aren't they always mentioning things like soap, cosmetics, or restaurants in time-travel novels?

Li Liuyun looked at Chu Lingtian in surprise: "I didn't expect that you, the president of a listed company, would actually read novels?"

Chu Lingtian shook his head: "I'm so busy every day, I don't have time to read novels! Aren't these my secretaries? They have two great pleasures."

The first is watching short dramas and reading novels.

The second is idol worship.

They're chasing after this guy! Look! It's right in front of you! Every day you can hear them discussing what novel they read today, and whether it's been updated!

Ever since this person fell into a coma and became a vegetable, all they can do every day is read novels and watch videos! Before and after work, they talk about what time-travel novels they read today and what kind of all-powerful cheat codes the female lead has.

Then the female protagonist travels to ancient times and starts building a business empire, making soap, opening hot pot restaurants, etc. I've heard so many stories about this before!

Hehe, I want to ask you, you already have a gun, didn't God give you some kind of cheat code? And you guys have been in ancient times for so long! Have you done any invention projects? Started any businesses or anything? What direction are you planning to take next?"

Li Liuyun shook his head: "I don't know anything about 'golden fingers' or anything like that, but I've been lucky. As for inventions? I haven't implemented any yet, but things like soap and cosmetics that you mentioned are within my consideration!"

After all, washing your hair, face, and brushing your teeth in ancient times was too troublesome! But did you know that there was no tofu in ancient times? I've already made them start making tofu and plan to open a restaurant specializing in tofu banquets!

In addition, I have done a lot of work in the catering industry. He has a chain of restaurants, and I have made a lot of modern Sichuan dishes and am promoting them. When you come back to Beili with us, I will let you taste the modern Sichuan cuisine!

As for the hot pot restaurant, I plan to talk about that later. What's something you'd like to do when you get to Beili? You can also start your own business; just tell us what you need!

Chu Lingtian shook his head: "Let's see when we get to Beili. Since you're already working on it, I'll go and see how it goes. Let's do what we have now well and make it excellent, and then we can work on other things. What do you think?"

Nangong Li nodded: "Let's discuss this again after you go to Beili. By the way, you didn't tell Zuo Lu about Yun'er and my identities, did you?"

Chu Lingtian shook his head: "Of course not. I just told him that my soul transmigrated into Chu Batian's body! And if my mission is completed, I don't want to be the emperor anymore, I just want to be an ordinary citizen!"

Then he insisted on following me! I was thinking that if I were to commit suicide by self-immolation to escape, and he thought I was really dead and died for me, wouldn't that be the same as me taking his life? Besides, he was the first person who was truly kind to me since I came here, and I couldn't bear to do it.

Moreover, he already knew I wasn't Chu Tian after I transmigrated here for so long, but he didn't expose me. Last time he was poisoned by a Gu, it was because he was going to test medicine for me. That old man took the Golden Pill and came to give it to me. Strictly speaking, that old man probably wanted to poison me!

If you hadn't discovered it in time, he or I might have been controlled by that old man! But I have a question: once you've removed the curse, will he know?

Li Liuyun nodded: "The Gu he used last time was a larva. It had just entered his body and hadn't had time to evolve before I discovered it! To be precise, it hadn't resonated with the mother Gu yet!"

So if he tries to control the Gu worm, he'll find there's no response. He might think that either you were on guard and failed to successfully plant the Gu, or the Gu worm has already been killed! She'll definitely find out!

But it doesn't matter if he knows, because the best outcome for him after tomorrow is to become a prisoner. If it weren't for the fact that he's still somewhat useful, I really would want to kill him tomorrow!

By the way, you just mentioned that old scoundrel Lin trafficked people. I know where those people were sent? On our way to southern Xinjiang, we came across a mountain with a gold mine inside! He captured many people and had them mining there.

"But we've already blew up that mine! Everyone's been released. I'll hand all this evidence over to Chu Huainan, and with the other arrested members of the powerful families as witnesses, that'll be enough to convict that old scoundrel Lin!"

What?! That old scoundrel actually trafficked people to work in the mines! Absolutely depraved! Wait, you're saying there are wealthy families working in the mines?

Logically, scions of noble families should have servants and attendants everywhere they go! How could they have been sold to the mountains? Was it due to internal family strife? Were they tricked?

Li Liuyun gave a thumbs up: "Pretty impressive, you guessed it right away! Not only were there scions of powerful families inside, but they also captured my senior brother! They were lucky, though. If I had gone a day later, my senior sister-in-law would have been violated by them!"

"So how did you find it? There should be a main road to Southern Xinjiang, so why did you go into the deep mountains?" Chu Lingtian asked curiously.

Nangong Li sighed: "In that case, we were just unlucky. Yun'er and I were on our way when we thought we'd go up the mountain to hunt some game. We never expected that those people would even try to capture us, two passersby, and drag us into the mountains!"

Chu Lingtian chuckled upon hearing this: "I didn't expect them to run into a brick wall. They didn't catch the people, but instead, you raided their hideout, blew up their mine, and sent them to meet their maker!"

Li Liuyun raised his chin: "They deserved it. In modern times, human trafficking is punishable by death, let alone the deaths of so many people in the mine. They were profiting from human suffering, and they deserve to die!"
