CHAPTER 1048: 1125: JI LAOQI, WHERE DID YOU GET THE NERVE?

"The implication is that once someone is afflicted by this Gu, they are completely controlled by the master. If the master wants them to live, they live; if they want them to die, they die. It’s an absolute control, originally used by ignorant men to bind unruly women as ’Love Gu’, leading to its widespread reputation."

Yi Ran revealed this secret, causing Dong Huiying’s face to suddenly darken, and Shu Yu beside her also did not look well.

They had always thought the Mind-Bewitching Gu was a "Love Gu", and believed that the Seventh Princess implanted it in Liang Zhichen’s body because of love. However, the various experiences in Jiangnan felt quite off.

The Seventh Princess’s attitude was vague; if she was infatuated with Zhi Chen, it seemed possible, yet something felt amiss.

Until today, the mystery was unveiled, and they awoke to the realization that maybe the Seventh Princess planted the Gu in Zhi Chen not for love, but simply to control him?

Yet such a thought is even more despicable!!

Dong Huiying’s face was gloomy, anger surging in her heart. Her man, when was it someone else’s turn to control him?

To let them live, they must live; to let them die, they must die?

You surnamed Ji, Ji Laoqi, where do you get the audacity!?

She took a deep breath, calming the anger in her heart, then said steadily, "This Gu is not complicated, it can be cured."

She opened her perfume sachet, taking out several exquisite porcelain bottles, and asked Yi Ran to bring her half a bowl of water.

She poured these powders into the bowl in a specific proportion, dissolving instantly as they entered the water.

"Let him drink it." She looked at Uncle Jiang.

Yi Ran hesitated slightly.

Just then, a sudden crack sound.

Elder Sun, who was holding a soup tureen, dropped it on the ground where it shattered, yet he ignored it and strode towards Dong Huiying.

He seized the half-bowl of water, turned black by the various powders mixed within, sniffed at it, and then exclaimed in shock, "Mind-bewitching Powder? What you mixed, is actually Mind-bewitching Powder??"

He glared forcefully at Dong Huiying, causing her to be puzzled, wondering if she had done something wrong. Nonetheless, she answered honestly, "Similar to Mind-bewitching Powder, but its effect is better."

The formula was her improvement, originally obtained from Liu Yi back when she was in the Desert.

Elder Sun collected himself and then promptly pinched Uncle Jiang’s mouth open, pouring the half bowl of water into Uncle Jiang’s mouth.

"Elder Sun!!" Yi Ran was both shocked and furious.

Uncle Jiang had been with him for many years, an old companion by his side. If it weren’t for Uncle Jiang returning to Witch Gu Clan in Dajin due to something urgent that year...

He felt Elder Sun had made Uncle Jiang a guinea pig.

"Shut up!!" Elder Sun coldly reprimanded, focusing his attention nervously on Uncle Jiang.

The effect of Dong Huiying’s improved Mind-bewitching Powder was quite potent, seemingly after only half a tea cup’s time, Uncle Jiang, who was previously convulsing, gradually calmed down.

After a while, Uncle Jiang took a deep breath.

He was cured!?

Though Uncle Jiang had seized previously, he hadn’t lost consciousness, usually each episode lasted at least an hour, with excruciating pain inside out afterward and severe sequelae.

But this time, not only was the episode shorter, but remarkably, he had no discomfort at all?

He knew this was due to Dong Huiying, promptly kneeling before her.

"Thank you, young lady!!"
