[Chapter 29 - Gu Chong!] So stupid that you should die!

Throwing things around once he's angry, what kind of attitude is this.

Sect leader Qin sighed in his heart, pulled down the blanket from his head, preparing to reason with Shen Qian Ling. Then he saw his eyes reddened, and started crying silently!

Qin Shao Yu: ".........."

Alright, it seems like it's somewhat severe this time.

Shen Qian Ling cried louder and louder, and was practically morose. Qin Shao Yu was at a loss, he can't fight or scold him, and could only stretch out his patience and humor him, "I have already apologized, don't cry anymore alright? If you're still really angry,I can let you bite me a few times at most."

Shen Xiao Shou ignored him.

Qin Shao's head throbbed.

Shen Qian Ling pulled over his sleeve and wiped his snot on it, then collapsed onto his shoulder, and cried harder.

Frankly speaking, Qin Shao Yu was a little....frightened by him.

Taking this chance, Shen Qian Ling fully cried out all of the grievances he has accumulated till now. He had already suppressed the fear of transmigrating to an unknown world for too long, if he didn’t find a chance to let it out, he would probably explode.  

Qin Shao Yu frowned slightly, but didn't speak up again, only patting his back once in a while.

After a long time, Shen Qian Ling finally felt a little better, and thus sat up from his arms, and stared at him with reddened eyes.

"Not crying anymore?" Qin Shao Yu helped to rub away his tears, "Let's go and eat?"

Shen Xiao Shou was spiteful, "I want to have an expensive meal."

Qin Shao Yu laughed, "Alright, we will have the most expensive meal."

The best restaurant in the city was named Zui Ba Xian(1). Once the boss heard that sect leader Qin and Young master Shen were coming for a feast, he was in high spirits, and not only did he send people out everywhere to buy the best ingredients, he also cooked personally, making a few tables’ worth of dishes.

Taking this chance, everyone in the Dominion of Shadow Chasers also had a feast. Everyone ate and drank together, it can be considered to be quite festive and lively. Shen Qian Ling initially intended to call the guards of Sun-Moon Hamlet over too, but was turned down politely, saying that the first young master had instructed before that they must protect young master from the shadows as much as possible.

With his persuasion unheeded, Shen Qian Ling could only have someone send some cured meats over.

"Fu-ren." Hua Tang sat by his side.

Shen Qian Ling felt awkward, "Can you change your way of address?"

Hua Tang glanced at Qin Shao Yu, and seeing that he didn’t have any objection, thus said straightforwardly, "A toast to young master Shen."

"I should be the one toasting you." Shen Qian Ling said, "Thanks for helping me to reduce the poison and gather medicine."

"Young master flatters." Hua Tang smiled, drinking the wine in one go.

The color of the wine was crystal clear, but it wasn't strong at all, and even had a slight fragrance of pear blossoms. Shen Qian Ling simply drank it all too. 

After the toast, Hua Tang returned to her own seat and lifted the lid of a white porcelain container under the table - a fat green-headed beetle was lying inside. Initially, it didn't move at all, but a moment later it suddenly started to crawl slowly, concentrated in one direction - no matter how it was blocked or fiddled with, it still headed in the direction of Shen Qian Ling.

Hua Tang placed back the porcelain lid, and nodded at Qin Shao Yu.

Qin Shao Yu's face darkened, his grip around the wine cup tightening subtly.

"What's the matter?" Shen Qian Ling was puzzled, why did his mood suddenly change for no reason.

"Nothing." Qin Shao Yu picked up a chopstick full of fish for him, "A bone was stuck in my throat just now."

Shen Qian Ling: "..........."

This warrior, just how old are you?

"Eat more of this." Qin Shao Yu scooped a bowl of lotus seeds and red dates soup for him, "It's helps your blood to recover."

Shen Qian Ling chewed on his pig trotters with his head lowered, obviously his interest towards meat was much higher.

"Be good." Qin Shao Yu confiscated the pig trotter, "Drink some red dates soup first."

"I don't need to recover my blood anyway." Shen Qian Ling was very unhappy, only females need to recover their blood.

"Finish it and I'll let you eat meat." Qin Shao Yu was very insistent.

Inside, Shen Qian Ling complained a little, you even want to control what I eat, you're really a pain in the ass! You aren't the head of the neighborhood committee anyway.

The surrounding guards all sighed deeply in their hearts, to think that there could come a day where sect leader displays affection, it was truly rare. 

Fu-ren was indeed fortunate.

After finishing the meal, Shen Qian Ling felt a little dizzy, because he had drank two more cups of wine just now.

"Go and rest first?" Qin Shao Yu asked.

Shen Qian Ling nodded, rinsed his mouth and washed his face in a daze, and become dead to the world very quickly. To ensure that everything would go well, Qin Shao Yu lit some sleeping incense in the room. The thick fragrance of a hundred blossoms, inhaled and spread to every meridian of his body. Shen Qian Ling relaxed contently and slept even more soundly. 

“Ling-er.” Qin Shao Yu patted his face.

Shen Qian Ling did not move at all, his intention to sleep for a thousand years obvious. 

Qin Shao Yu, set at ease, got up to open the door. 

Hua Tang entered the room with a medicine chest and placed various things on the table.

“How many gu chong are in his body?” Qin Shao Yu asked quietly.

“He needs to be treated before we know.” Hua Tang opened that porcelain jar from before again, “When the gu king smells the gu chong, it will instinctively want to swallow it. This subordinate will then try to use a silver needle to force the gu chong out. When the gu king stops moving, it will mean that fu-ren will be cured.”

“Go on.” Qin Shao Yu nodded in reply.

The gu chong in Shen Qin Ling’s body became excited when they encountered wine, which was also the reason why Hua Tang insisted on toasting to him. The gu chong would usually feed on blood, so it was no wonder that he would faint at the drop of a coin. Seeing the pale face of Shen Qian Ling, Qin Shao Yu’s mood was extremely poor. 

Hua Tang sat by the bed, placing fine needles into the crown of his head slowly, not sparing a moment of effort; a thin layer of sweat gradually soaked her palms, her full concentration on the task at hand was obvious. 

Shen Qian Ling slept as peacefully as ever, not being affected one bit.

“Are so many needles needed?” Seeing one needle after another being inserted into Shen Qian Ling’s head, Qin Shao Yu asked quietly. 

“This subordinate only wants to be certain that all goes well.” Hua Tang lit up the herbs at the head of the needles and placed a new incense stick into the incense burner, “After the stick of incense is burned out, the results will be seen.” 

Qin Shao Yu nodded, sitting by the bedside and keeping watch over Shen Qian Ling.

This period of time could be said to be unending, even sect leader Qin had suspected that the stick of incense had extinguished! When the last of the incense ash finally fell, Hua Tang also finally sighed in relief -- she was truly worried Qin Shao Yu would destroy the table halfway through. 

The first needle was carefully taken out. Seeing the extremely thin worm entwined around the needle tip, Qin Shao Yu crushed the cup in his hand. 

Hua Tang glanced at him, “Sect leader, you….calm down.”

“Continue.” Qin Shao Yu’s face was dark.

Hua Tang threw the first gu chong into the white porcelain container. The green headed Gu King instantly opened its mouth and swallowed it, its back giving off a red shine in excitement. 

The second worm; the third worm; when the fifth gu chong was extracted, sect leader Qin looked like he was almost going to destroy the room. 

Hua Tang grabbed on to the sixth needle. After meticulously pulling it out, she saw that the needle tip was clean, and there was no more squirming gu chong, and thus relaxed a little, “There shouldn’t be anything serious, five gu chong aren’t enough to cause young master too much harm.”

“Pull out the rest.” Qin Shao Yu instructed. 

Hua Tang pulled out the rest of the needles accordingly. The tip of every needle was very clean. 

“You are certain the gu chong are removed entirely?” Qin Shao Yu was still worried. 

Hua Tang looked at the gu king, and saw that it had already eaten its fill and fell asleep, and thus nodded and said, “Do not worry, sect leader, nothing will happen to young master Shen anymore, he just needs a few days of recuperation, and recover the blood he lost previously, and he will gradually get better from his fainting illness.”

Qin Shao Yu relaxed upon hearing it, “You have worked hard.”

“Sect leader is too courteous.” Hua Tang put the needles and gu king back into the medicine box, “If there aren’t any other matters, then this subordinate will withdraw for now.” 

Qin Shao Yu nodded, and threw a small porcelain bottle to her, “Red lotus of the snowy mountains, as thanks.”

Hua Tang clicked her tongue, “Sect leader sure is generous this time.” Everyone knew that this was a rare item that is hard to come by in a hundred years, not only could it balance qi, it could strengthen one’s internal energy too. Just how many people were out there who would want it even at the cost of death.

“Are you blaming me for being too petty towards you usually?” Qin Shao Yu raised an eyebrow. 

“It’s this subordinate who is wrong.” Hua Tang bowed her head with a smile, and left the room. 

“Left chief.” A black clothed man was keeping watch outside the door.

“Xiao Wu?” Hua Tang was surprised, “When did you return?” The man’s name is Zhao Wu, and was the Dominion of Chasing Shadows’ best person at qing gong, and was also the person who Qin Shao Yu kept in contact with everyday when he was at the Sun-Moon Hamlet. When Chan Niang escaped in defeat a few days before at Qian Mu mountain, Zhao Wu followed her secretly, wanting to find out the location of Feng Jiu Ye.

“Just arrived.” Zhao Wu glanced towards the bedroom, “Is sect leader asleep?”

“Young master Shen is plagued with illness, the sect leader is taking care of him.” Hua Tang brought him outside, “Have you found Feng Jiu Ye’s location?” 

Zhao Wu shook his head, “Chan Niang was alone all the time, and didn’t contact anyone.’ 

“Could it be that Feng Jiu Ye si still at the headquarters of the demonic sect?” Hua Tang frowned. 

“It’s possible.” Zhao Wu turned around and looked at the firmly closed door of the room, “In the recent days, sect leader seems to be very close with young master Shen?”

How was it only close, just now he even almost destroyed the room… Hua Tang looked at him, “Why are you also interested in such things?”

“I asked sect leader before, he said he has no feelings towards young master Shen.” Zhao Wu shook his head. 

Hua Tang laughed audibly, “Why did you go and ask about this out of nowhere?” 

“Young master Shen has had history with Feng Jiu Ye afterall, aren’t you afraid that something will happen?” Zhao Wu asked. 

“I trust the sect leader.” Hua Tang was very blunt, “Moreover, I don’t think there’s anything bad about young master Shen. After he lost his memories, he shouldn’t have any involvement with the demonic sect anymore.” 

“How do you know he isn’t acting?” Zhao Wu was still worried. 

“Acting?” Hua Tang smirked, “I don’t think so, and moreover with the kind of person the sect leader is, who do you think can trick him? It has always been him tricking others.”

Zhao Wu fell silent.  

“Don’t worry, go back and rest early.” Hua Tang patted his shoulder, “Whatever matters you have, look for the sect leader tomorrow morning, he’s probably not in a good mood tonight. Don’t get yourself in trouble for nothing.” 

……..

Zhao Wu sighed, “Many thanks to left chief for telling me.”

And in the bedroom, sect leader Qin’s mood was as Hua Tang said. Extremely. Not. Good.

He just has to remember those five extremely disgusting worms, and look at Shen Qian Ling’s pale face, to feel his chest tighten. 

“Wu….” In his sleep, Shen Qian Ling scratched his cheek. 

“So dumb that you should die.” Qin Shao Yu knocked on his head, “Eating anything that people give you?!”

The corner of Shen Qian Ling’s mouth curved up, and very quickly he started snoring.

Truly carefree and without worry!
