THE USELESS MIRACLE DOCTOR CONSORT IS SPOILED ROTTEN BY THE PRINCE!

Chapter 1331: Chapter 1326: The Battle between Saint Ruan and Su Yingxue

Ever since the battle with Qi State a few years ago, the military prowess of the Great Cheng Dynasty was known throughout the Nine Continents. No country dared to provoke them, and even the bandits at the border had greatly diminished.

This time, Chu Yihan had fiercely mobilized so many people, which suggested that the enemy had some very troublesome aspects.

Lin Sisi and Saint Ruan stood on either side of Chu Yihan. In front of them lay a corpse controlled by a “Gu” worm, which had already begun to rot. Su Yingxue lifted the white cloth, and the nauseating stench of decay spread out, much more intolerable than that of a normal corpse.

Neither Saint Ruan nor Lin Sisi were strangers to corpses, but even they could hardly restrain their revulsion.

Being mindful of the proprieties between sovereign and subject, Lin Sisi did not dare behave too improperly in front of Chu Yihan, while Saint Ruan directly put his hands on his hips and covered his nose, “What the hell is this thing? It’s neither human nor ghost; the corpse doesn’t even look like a corpse. Is this… turned into a specimen or something?”

“Specimen” was a word he had heard years ago from Long Shuli. Long Shuli had said that in their era, some dead animals and plants needed for academic research were preserved and made into specimens.

Now, this thing… oh no, this thing that looked like a corpse was just like one of those specimens.

Just did not know if it smelled like what Long Shuli described.

Lin Sisi had heard from Mo Qi during their communication that outside Hangzhou City, they encountered something with tremendous combat power, which could not feel pain and would not fall unless its head was chopped off; it was a dead person controlled by a Gu worm, called a corpse controlled by a “Gu.”

She frowned, “Is this the corpse controlled by a ‘Gu’ that was manipulated by that Ji Yun Country princess?”

Chu Yihan nodded, “Yes.”

“Damn it! Utterly heartless and malicious, playing with corpses even after they are dead,” Ruan Sheng cursed, hands akimbo and full of righteous indignation at Chen Ruobai.

Su Yingxue pursed her lips and said, “We can’t exactly say that. Compared to the poison doctor who is still so young at over seventy, she’s only a bit more ruthless than you.”

Saint Ruan immediately exploded with anger, shouting as if ignited with anger, “Su Yingxue! If you talk like your mother again, I’ll beat you up in front of the emperor!”

“Try hitting me.”

Su Yingxue’s smile was a bit aggravating.

Just as Saint Ruan rolled up his sleeves, revealing his white and long arms, Chu Yihan’s gaze, sharp as a sword, looked at him, causing Saint Ruan to immediately put his sleeves down, grinding his teeth and glaring at Su Yingxue, “You just wait!”

Someday he would bag her up and give her a good bonk on the head.

“Enough, Saint Ruan, I need you to cooperate with Yingxue to dissect the corpse controlled by a ‘Gu’ and study how to counteract the Gu worm and corpse poison,” Chu Yihan said with a somber face, showing no sign of jest.

Saint Ruan humphed twice, “It’s so stinky. Who would study it for you? If I had known, I would have gone back for my son.”

Damn it, they always find him for these meaningless tasks.

He had thought this couple had encountered some major trouble or had come across some strange poison that Su Yingxue could not handle, waiting for him to come for the emergency.

This corpse controlled by a “Gu”…

Who would want to touch this foul thing!

“You have a son?” Su Yingxue’s eyes widened in shock.

Chu Yihan looked over with a commanding presence, “I can bring your son here right now.”

“No, no, no!”

Saint Ruan waved his hands repeatedly, knowing full well that admitting he had a son was a mistake.

He looked at Su Yingxue, not yet drilled full of holes by her gaze, and confessed honestly, “He’s an adopted child. Couldn’t find his parents, but he’s pretty cute, so I took him in. Besides, with the ongoing warfare here, it was impossible to bring him along, so I left him at Silver Moon Pavilion and had Geng Qingyan look after him for a while. When it’s safe, I’ll go back and pick him up.”

Su Yingxue’s attention had been focused on him for a while, impressed by his ability to save a child, which was rare indeed. Later, she approached him and whispered, “You see, with this war, who knows how many children will be left homeless, separated from their parents? If we could research the gu corpses sooner and come up with strategies sooner, couldn’t we give these kids a better life? The people of Ruo Shui Pass, the people of Qiongzhou City, how innocent they are?”

It was nothing but troubled times.

Previously, Saint Ruan wouldn’t have bothered with so much. Roaming the Four Seas as his home, indifferent to whether there was war or not, he lacked such a broad-minded perspective and sense of responsibility. He just wanted to have fun!

But since he had a son… he thought what Su Yingxue said made quite a bit of sense.

The key moment for him came when he discovered something that thrilled him, “Su Yingxue, you have no clue about gu, do you? Your mother’s letter didn’t mention it, did it?”

He smirked and winked at Su Yingxue.

Su Yingxue coughed uncomfortably, “Mm, it didn’t say.”

Not to mention her ignorance about gu, all the tomes in Medicine King Valley had no records of gu at all.

Her surgical tools and the Soul-Consuming Needle could barely help with treatment, but when it came to the battlefield, they were utterly inadequate.

She had to ask for Saint Ruan’s help to thoroughly research the gu corpses and gu, so that Chu Yihan could come up with strategies on the battlefield.

Excited, Saint Ruan rubbed his hands together, “Father hasn’t contended with your mother or poisoned you for so many years, but now I finally have the chance to show off. Don’t worry! These gu insects must be dealt with! I still know more than you do!”

Saint Ruan patted Su Yingxue’s head as if looking at a naive little apprentice.

Su Yingxue said nothing, indeed knowing nothing about the gu.

But her husband did not allow others to touch her, so as soon as Saint Ruan’s hand patted her head, Chu Yihan swiftly struck out with his palm, sending an invisible force towards Saint Ruan. If Saint Ruan hadn’t flown away quickly, by now he’d be just like that nest on the ground.

There should have been dust flying.

With his teeth clenched, Saint Ruan backed away with lingering fear toward Lin Sisi.

Lin Sisi looked at him with admiration, “As a man, how dare you touch the emperor’s woman?”

It was like seeking death at grandma’s house!

Grandmother could greet him with a knife at the door.

Saint Ruan rolled his eyes, “Who knew he’d be so jealous! I only ever wanted to take Su Yingxue as a disciple.”

Impressive, just as Long Shuli said, they were like confidants.

Who knew Chu Yihan would be so fierce, that even patting a head would provoke a palm strike.

He’d better just stick to studying the gu corpses!

He planned to move the gu corpse to a place of his own, but before he took two steps, someone stumbled into the tent.

Chu Yihan swiftly moved forward to grab Chu Yifeng’s arm and said in a deep voice, “You’re injured?”

In his low voice, there was concern that was not easily detected.

Chu Yifeng’s hand was clutching his chest, as if he wanted to rip his heart out from his ribcage.

He leaned on Chu Yihan’s arm, catching his breath for a while before speaking, “It’s nothing, I just took a trip to Qiongzhou City.”

“You went to Qiongzhou City? Chu Yifeng!”

Chu Yihan roared, “I told you to send someone to contact Rong Sheng, not for you to run into Qiongzhou City yourself!”
