Attack

Neither able to swallow nor spit it out.

Lian Qiao’s face flushed red, and inadvertently, she swallowed it.

“…”

What was this, an indirect kiss with him?

Too terrifying, Lian Qiao kept wiping her mouth with her sleeve: “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Lu Wu Jiu said nonchalantly: “Why were you so fast?”

Lian Qiao now wanted to kill him, but before killing him, she had to clean herself up.

Just as she was torn between finding a ditch to wash her mouth or simply washing out her stomach,

Lu Wu Jiu suddenly said again: “I remembered wrong, I drank another cup. Your cup hasn’t been touched.”

“…”

Was he playing with her?

Lian Qiao was furious, about to attack, when Lu Wu Jiu’s voice deepened: “The thing you just drank was rootless water. Are you sure you want to settle the score with me?”

The painful memory was immediately awakened, and Lian Qiao quickly put it down as if she had taken a hot potato.

“You didn’t say so earlier!”

Lu Wu Jiu was very particular about his food, clothing, and daily necessities, including drinking water, only drinking rootless water.

Moreover, not all ungrounded rain and fog could be considered rootless water, only bamboo dew.

A small cup of water, only the depth of a little finger, required as many as five hundred bamboos to collect.

What was even more demanding was that this bamboo was not ordinary bamboo, it could only be Xiangfei bamboo.

Back then, when Lian Qiao was young and ignorant, she secretly drank a cup of his water and was caught on the spot. She was forced to stay up all night, searching the entire Penglai Peak to collect five hundred Xiangfei bamboos, and then spent a whole morning, finally collecting a cup of bamboo dew, carefully holding it to the Crown Prince.

Lu Wu Jiu took it unceremoniously and drank it all in one gulp in front of her.

Lian Qiao was so angry that she almost died.

Even more tragic was that day happened to be the day a senior brother who was about to go down the mountain to experience life asked her to express his feelings.

Because she had to help Lu Wu Jiu find bamboo dew, she missed it.

She only learned about the confession three years after the senior brother returned from his experience.

But things had changed, and the senior brother had already found someone else he loved during the experience.

Lian Qiao had quite a good impression of this senior brother at that time, but unfortunately, just as this small flame sprouted, it was accidentally interrupted by Lu Wu Jiu’s meanness.

With new hatred and old grudges, Lian Qiao’s eyes blazed with fire, and she picked up her sword and slashed at Lu Wu Jiu: “I must kill you today!”

Strangely, Lu Wu Jiu, who always liked to defeat the enemy in three moves, didn’t move today. For the first time, Lian Qiao easily put her sword on Lu Wu Jiu’s neck.

Lian Qiao was incredulous: “I actually won? Could it be that you were faking it when you tested your spiritual veins?”

Then she heard a heartless sneer.

Lu Wu Jiu spat out a few words: “…Just temporarily unable to use mana.”

Lian Qiao was overjoyed: “You have no mana?”

Lu Wu Jiu: “…Shouldn’t ordinary people ask the reason when they encounter this kind of thing?”

“That’s other people.” Lian Qiao’s lips curled up, barely suppressing her excitement, “For you, it’s already a great kindness that I didn’t set off firecrackers.”

Then she quickly calculated: “I have to announce this news to the world, first of all, tell your nemesis in Kuaiji, and those senior sisters and junior sisters who were angered by you…”

“I guess, they will be very happy to see you unable to resist without any strength. It’s okay if they come one by one, but what if… they surround you together? How can you bear it?”

Lian Qiao was triumphant and about to rush out when Lu Wu Jiu stopped her: “Stop, are you sure you want to leave?”

Lian Qiao turned back, smiling: “What? Are you scared? That’s easy to handle. Call me grandma three times, bow three times, and shout ‘Grandma is the best in the world,’ and I’ll spare you, and promise not to tell anyone. How about that?”

Lu Wu Jiu’s lips twitched, a hint of sarcasm flashing across.

“…Pathetic.”

The same demands as when she was eighteen and eight years old.

He thought she was at least not that childish anymore.

Lian Qiao was furious: “Then don’t blame me!”

With that, she lifted her foot and left, but as soon as she reached the door, her legs went weak, and she had to hold on to the door bolt.

It turned out that the love Gu’s attack also had a distance limit. Once she was too far away from Lu Wu Jiu, she would feel a piercing itch.

Lian Qiao gritted her teeth and turned back: “Since you can recognize this as a love Gu, do you know how to remove it?”

Lu Wu Jiu said calmly: “I don’t know.”

Lian Qiao’s eyes were resentful: “Then what should we do? We can’t really be tied together, right? If that’s the case, I’d rather die!”

Lu Wu Jiu paused for a moment before saying: “Find the Divine Physician, he might know.”

Lian Qiao shook her head decisively: “No, the Divine Physician is a big mouth. If he knows I took the wrong forbidden Gu, he will definitely tell my father. My father will definitely put me in confinement. The Immortal Sect Competition is in three months, I’ve been preparing for three years, I can’t miss it.”

“It was your fault for using the wrong Gu in the first place. What does it have to do with others?” Lu Wu Jiu was indifferent.

Cold-hearted!

Lian Qiao folded her arms: “Okay, then you go. Since this love Gu is a pair, it must be removed together, right? If you find the Divine Physician, I won’t remove it. Then you will lose your mana, and even if you go on stage, you will definitely not win. At most, I will lose some face, but your reputation as the number one in swordsmanship will not be guaranteed!”

Lu Wu Jiu glanced at her: “Since you can’t find a pharmacist and can’t not remove it, what exactly do you want?”

Lian Qiao couldn’t think of anything: “…Is there a medical cultivator who is as good as the Divine Physician but keeps his mouth shut?”

Lu Wu Jiu was about to tell her to find one in her dreams, when he suddenly remembered one: “There is a medical cultivator in the black market whose medical skills are outstanding, even better than the Divine Physician, and he keeps his mouth shut.”

“That’s him!” Lian Qiao’s eyes lit up, “However, how are you so familiar with the black market? I didn’t expect that on the surface, you are dignified, but in private, you often go to that kind of place?”

Lu Wu Jiu said indifferently: “That’s right. If you’re not leaving, do you want to go back?”

Lian Qiao shut her mouth decisively.

The two left at night, and when they teleported to the black market, they specially disguised themselves.

However, the medical cultivator only recognized money, not people: “The consultation fee is 50,000 spirit stones, pay first and then see the doctor.”

“Fifty thousand, why don’t you just rob us?” Lian Qiao was shocked.

The medical cultivator was too lazy to look up, shook the bell and was about to call the next one, when Lian Qiao immediately pressed down: “I’ll pay, can’t I pay?”

Lian Qiao reluctantly took out 50,000 spirit stones, and only then did the pharmacist finally reluctantly take her pulse. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asserted that this was the forbidden love Gu, which was not much different from what they had estimated.

Sure enough, those who charged so much and could still survive in the black market had some skills, otherwise they would have been chopped into pieces.

He knew even more details. It turned out that the love Gu’s attack lasted for an hour.

During this hour, the two of them had to stay close to each other. In severe cases, not only did they have to stay together, but they might also have to kiss, or go even further to remove the Gu, otherwise, they would either have their meridians broken or die on the spot.

Moreover, unlike other love Gus, the reason why this Gu was forbidden was because it had a special symptom—not only was the degree of the attack unfixed, but the time of the attack was also unfixed. If they were lucky, it would attack every few days. If they were unlucky, it might attack several times in one day…

Lian Qiao was stunned.

In that case, what if this broken Gu attacked just when she and Lu Wu Jiu were fighting each other?

Wouldn’t they have to fight and kiss at the same time?

Lian Qiao imagined the scene, and goosebumps fell all over the place: “…Which pervert made this ghost thing?”

Even a knowledgeable pharmacist like him was amazed and excited: “It is said that this was made by a demoness who was in love with a cultivator. The demoness poured out her heart, but the cultivator was always cold-eyed, so she came up with this damaging trick, determined to tame the cultivator step by step. Therefore, this Gu has another characteristic when it attacks, that is, both sides cannot use mana against each other.”

Lian Qiao was silent.

This demoness was really talented.

But she had another question: “Our symptoms seem to be different from this demoness. Why do I feel hot all over when it attacks, but he is indifferent?”

“Because previously, this cultivator was particularly firm and unyielding, and his Taoism was superb. After discovering that he was poisoned, he once tried to force the Gu out, but of course he didn’t succeed. Even so, he still didn’t give in, and even fed the Gu with his own flesh and blood. But was this Gu so easy to tame? In the end, it became one side attacking while the other was indifferent, alternating every time. Then, taking advantage of the day when it was the demoness’s turn to attack, the cultivator with a heart like still water coldly pierced her heart with a sword.”

Lian Qiao: What a good show of love and hate!

“Since the demoness is dead, what about the cultivator?”

“They’re demonesses, how could they die so easily? She was rescued, but although her life was saved, her heart was dead. She was completely disheartened and simply let the cultivator go. On the contrary, after this life-and-death experience, the cultivator found that he was not without feelings for the demoness. The two of them slowly came together in this strange way.”

Lian Qiao: “…”

With twists and turns, the story of this demoness and cultivator was really tortuous enough.

However, what the pharmacist said next shocked her even more.

“However, they didn’t have a good life for a few days, and they still died.”

“…Why?”

“Well, because they were unlucky, just after they got married, the love Gu attacked twenty times in a month, and once for ten hours, and then cough cough…”

“…”

Lian Qiao guessed an unspeakable idea. They wouldn’t be… wouldn’t be that kind of death, right?

This was too embarrassing.

She decided that if she and Lu Wu Jiu were reduced to this point, she would still strangle herself on the spot to be more decent.

But fortunately, this hour tonight had passed, and she finally didn’t have to endure this broken poison anymore.

But soon, she thought of an even more tricky problem—

Since it alternated every time, although she didn’t have to be burned by fire next time, the one being burned would be Lu Wu Jiu. Wouldn’t that be like a sheep entering a tiger’s mouth, at his mercy?

Thinking of this, Lian Qiao immediately hugged herself, guarding against Lu Wu Jiu like a pervert.

Lu Wu Jiu: “…”
