Chapter 1399: Chapter 1486: Fate Cannot Be Defied
Previously, Xue Mengxue was indeed fearless of life and death because life and death meant nothing to him. At that time, it sounded harsh to say that even the sky was black.
But now, Xue Mengxue really didn’t want to die. There were many things he couldn’t let go of, especially after being with Su Xuan. He truly felt that life was so beautiful, yet how fragile life was.
Although Su Xuan told him he had found a way, they didn’t even know where the lost Gu Emperor was.
And there’s something Su Xuan didn’t know, even if he found the Gu Emperor, it wouldn’t necessarily solve the problem because the Gu Emperor wouldn’t voluntarily help remove the Gu Poison. According to what he knew, the saintess of the Gu family was required to control the Poison Emperor. But the Gu family had always been the most mysterious family, and whether they could be found was uncertain. Even if found, they wouldn’t easily cure him, because removing the Love Gu harms cultivation.
So, in fact, what Su Xuan didn’t know was that Xue Mengxue didn’t hold much hope for his own survival at this moment. Therefore, he cherished his current life even more, knowing that every day he lived now was borrowed time because, theoretically, he should have died already.
"Hmm, Big Brother Su, if, I mean if..."
"There’s no if. I said I won’t allow you to die, so you must not die."
Su Xuan said sternly, with a seriousness he’d never shown before. He knew what Xue Mengxue wanted to say, and Su Xuan also knew that the possibility was huge. However, he wouldn’t allow it to happen, not allowing Xue Mengxue to end his life like this.
Xue Mengxue looked at Su Xuan, gently reached out a hand, held Su Xuan’s hand, and lightly bit his lip. Honestly, he never wanted to leave this beautiful world and the man he loved so deeply, but he knew that many things don’t go as one wishes. Even if he was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.
Looking at Su Xuan, at that moment, Xue Mengxue felt more reluctant than anything else. Perhaps heaven meant to take him back.
"Big Brother Su, some things are difficult to defy. Xue’er meeting you in my last days is truly a life without regrets. You don’t have to work so hard; I’m afraid you’ll be in danger!"
He didn’t dare to tell Su Xuan that the Gu Emperor required the virgin blood of the saintess from the Gu family to be activated, and using it once consumed ten years’ worth of cultivation for the saintess. So, in fact, removing the Love Gu was almost impossible.
He didn’t dare to tell him because he was afraid Su Xuan couldn’t take it and might act impulsively. His father had said the Gu family was the most mysterious in Miaojiang, so no one dared to provoke them easily; it was too complicated.
Xue Mengxue knew his own death didn’t matter, but he didn’t want Su Xuan to risk his life as well. Although Su Xuan was powerful, the Gu family wasn’t a simple place to deal with, too convoluted.
"I don’t care about fate or anything. I only believe that man can conquer the heavens. If the damn heavens want you dead, I’ll make you live!"
Su Xuan said sternly, filled with an unprecedented determination.
"Clap, clap, clap..."
At this moment, a burst of applause sounded. A middle-aged man dressed in Miao Village attire, looking in his forties, walked up, clapping his hands as he spoke.
"Little brother, indeed, you’re a man of character — admirable, admirable!"
Su Xuan looked at the man and spoke.
"Could it be, brother, you are Zu Sanping!"
Seeing the man, Su Xuan immediately recognized him. This guy should be the friend He Jianguo introduced to him, Zu Sanping from the Ming Sect. To say, Zu Sanping looked more like a person from the Martial World, a bit down and out.
"Ha-ha, little brother, you do have a keen eye. Didn’t expect you’d recognize a useless man like me!"
Zu Sanping finished speaking and unceremoniously sat down at Su Xuan’s table. As he sat down, he saw Xue Mengxue beside Su Xuan, initially lighting up, then quickly frowning.
"What a pity, such a heavenly beauty harmed by a Love Gu. Does it confirm the saying that beauty has a short life?"
"Third Brother Zu, you do have good eyes. Third Brother, I heard from Brother He that you’re quite renowned here. Do you know of other ways to resolve this Gu Poison?"
Although Su Xuan already knew one way to solve the Gu Poison, even now, he didn’t know how to implement it. So, if there were other ways, he was willing to try different methods because helping Xue Mengxue detoxify was his real purpose for being here. The lost Gu Emperor had nothing to do with him.
Zu Sanping took a cup from his pocket, poured some potion into the cup, then added another liquid inside, and then said.
"Girl, cut your finger, let the first drop of blood go in, and let me see!"
Xue Mengxue nodded, bit his finger, and squeezed a drop of fresh blood into the cup. The cup had been clear and transparent, but as the blood entered, Su Xuan suddenly saw the liquid turn black rapidly. Soon, Su Xuan felt his scalp tingling because he could see with the naked eye fleas-like things breeding in the blackness.
Zu Sanping took out another potion, pouring it in. A scorching scent arose, and in the next moment, those disgusting elements vanished instantly.
"The blood still contains the Love Gu, just that the power within the blood suppresses it, so it hasn’t allowed the lonely breeding to proliferate, or she would have been devoured long ago."
Zu Sanping felt a sense of amazement in his heart. What kind of power could suppress such an overbearing Gu Poison!
"That just now was the Love Gu!"
Honestly, seeing that thing, Su Xuan also felt a bit disgusted. Damn, the reproduction was so fast; at that speed, it could rapidly seep into the bloodstream within minutes, rendering death inevitable in three hours.
And the reason Xue Mengxue was fine was that Su Xuan used domineering Dark Strength to suppress the Gu Poison, preventing it from multiplying. Additionally, Divine Doctor Xiong’s detoxification pills had a very potent effect. These reasons kept the Gu Poison from rebounding instantly, or it would have been really dangerous, destroying Xue Mengxue at once.
