Cheng Mo shook his head: “I’m fine.”
Hearing this, Shu Changhua said: “That’s good.”
Cheng Mo saw him move his fingertips, take out a insect flute from his clothing and bring it to his lips. Cheng Mo was startled, he raised his hand to stop Shu Changhua and questioned: “What do you want to do?”
Shu changhua glanced at him and replied bluntly: “Kill Hui Ji.”
Cheng Mo said in shock: “Why?”
Shu Changhua answered: “I have an agreement with Jiang Wanrou.”
Cheng Mo held Shu Changhua’s hand tightly: “Don’t do it.”
Shu Changhua asked softly: “Don’t you want Jiang Wanrou’s white jade glazed bead?”
Cheng Mo replied in a low voice: “If you want to exchange Hui Ji’s life for that I…”
Before Cheng Mo could finish his sentence, he suddenly clutched his chest and took a step back, blood was dripping out from the corner of his mouth. Shu Changhua was alarmed: “Cheng Mo?”
Cheng Mo shook his head and mumbled: “I…” before his body softened and he fell to the ground.
“Cheng Mo?”
Zi Xiao and Hui Ji stopped fighting at the same time and moved closer to Cheng Mo. Shu Changhua half knelt on the ground and held Cheng Mo in his arms, placing his fingers on his wrist to take his pulse. Zi Xiao held a sword in his hand and waited quietly while he watched Shu Changhua take his pulse while Hui Ji questioned: “What’s going on?”
Shu Changhua shook his head before he looked up at Qin Fangchuan who was standing to the side: “Junior brother!”
Qin Fangchuan hadn’t completely caught his breath because he was slower when chasing after them. Hearing Shu Changhua call him, he said: “I’ll do it.”
He walked forward and squatted down next to Cheng Mo. Grabbing his wrist, he put four fingers on it to feel for his pulse. Qin Fangchuan suddenly said: “Oh?” with a confused expression. He let go of Cheng Mo’s wrist and looked at his eyes and lips. Finally, he said to Shu Changhua:
“Senior brother, send a bug into him to check on the Lustful Heart Gu.”
Shu Changhua’s fingertips touched Cheng Mo’s skin lightly and a small red bug wormed its way into Cheng Mo’s body from his fingertips. After a while, the bug emerged from Cheng Mo’s skin and returned to Shu Changhua’s fingers. Shu Changhua’s face dropped in an instant. Zi Xiao asked: “What’s wrong?”
Shu Changhua raised his head and asked Qin Fangchuan angrily: “What did you do to him?”
Qin Fangchuan replied coldly: “What does it have to do with me?”
Shu Changhua said sternly: “The Lustful Heart Gu in him has always been stable. If you hadn’t given him medication to activate the Lustful Heart Gu, why else would it be at risk of dying?”
Hui Ji asked: “What would happen if it died?”
Shu Changhua exclaimed: “The Lustful Heart Gu cannot die! If the Gu dies in Cheng Mo’s body, the poison would spread and become uncontrollable and Cheng Mo’s life would be in danger.”
Hui Ji reached out and grabbed Qin Fangchuan’s neck while the tip of Zi Xiao’s sword was pointed towards Qin Fangchuan’s chest. Zi Xiao said: “Save him.”
Qin Fangchuan said calmly: “Why should I save him?”
Hui Ji replied coldly: “You think I can’t kill you?”
Qin Fangchuan answered expressionlessly: “I’m just surviving day by day, not living but not dying. If the Wulin Alliance Leader dies with me, then it could be considered worth it.”
Shu Changhua shouted: “Stop talking nonsense! What do you want before you’re willing to save him?”
Qin Fangchuan said slowly: “Senior brother is still the one who understands me. Actually, my request is very simple. If you hand the Jiang family’s white jade glazed bead to me, I’ll help you save his life.”
Zi Xiao looked at Shu Changhua: “Sect Leader Shu, do you have any other way to save Cheng Mo’s life?”
Shu Changhua shook his head: “No.”
Hui Ji tightened his grip on Qin Fangchuan’s neck until it was bruised. He let go of his neck and declared: “I’m going to get the bead. If something happens to Cheng Mo, all of you can just wait to be buried with him.”
Qin Fangchuan covered his neck as he choked for air. He coughed twice and said: “You don’t have to rush, there is something I have to tell all of you.”
Hui Ji turned around: “Speak.”
Qin Fangchuan said: “If you want to save Leader Cheng’s life, then the life of the Lustful Heart Gu must be saved. Before a suitable method can be found, the Gu must rely on the essence from someone it has previously acknowledged as its master to nourish it.”
Zi Xiao was silent, Shu Changhua held Cheng Mo in his arms and Hui Ji frowned slightly. Qin Fangchuan seemed to be the only outsider and he asked: “Can I ask who has fed the Gu with his blood? Or how about, who has never fed the Gu with his blood?”
No one answered Qin Fangchuan’s question. Qin Fangchuan laughed to himself: “Leader Cheng is really not simple. He truly deserves to be the Central Plains’ Wulin Alliance Leader.”
Zi Xiao said: “You just need to tell me, what is the appropriate method? How do we nourish the Gu?”
Qin Fangchuan glanced at Cheng Mo and answered: “To nourish the Gu, I’m afraid you would need to take turns feeding it with your essence. There is a time limit, you have to feed it at least once every eight hours. The Lustful Heart Gu is greedy in nature, so you can feed it as frequently as you want. The fuller the Gu is, the faster it will recover.”
Zi Xiao questioned: “This can’t completely heal the Gu right?”
Qin Fangchuan said: “That is a long story. It’s better to feed the Gu in Leader Cheng’s body first and then I will slowly explain it to you all.”
Cheng Mo shook his head: “I’m fine.”
Hearing this, Shu Changhua said: “That’s good.”
Cheng Mo saw him move his fingertips, take out a insect flute from his clothing and bring it to his lips. Cheng Mo was startled, he raised his hand to stop Shu Changhua and questioned: “What do you want to do?”
