The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!-Chapter 1386 - 1381: Zi Wei, Hurry Up!
Chapter 1386 -1381: Zi Wei, Hurry Up!
Yue Xin’s casual remark had struck Yue Lian’s heart, as if she’d suddenly thought of something—
Long Guan City.
Su Yingxue and Zi Wei, both dressed in black, climbed over the tall city walls and infiltrated under the cover of night. As Mu Rongche had said, the place was desolate, a veritable purgatory on earth, with broken walls and ruins everywhere. The stench of blood in the air, trapped within the walls, lingered for a long time.
They proceeded cautiously, using only a luminous pearl to light the way.
Because in this city, there were no common folk, no animals, and no… living creatures.
What met Su Yingxue’s eyes were either corpses or rotting limbs and pieces of flesh.
Even having been a doctor for so long, she felt nauseated at the sight.
Next to her, Zi Wei reminded her, “Mask.”
It was something Su Yingxue had made, and it could be put to good use now.
Remembering, Su Yingxue put hers on and told Zi Wei to wear one too, though he didn’t seem to care.
He had not seen a scene like this before, nor did he have any fear or emotion toward it.
Su Yingxue admired him all the more. She had always thought that Zi Wei was the bravest person in the world, fearing nothing.
She didn’t expect that “Seventeen” would be the same.
She truly felt that they were… apart from their faces, exactly alike!
They were looking for traces of the Gu corpses, walking a long way without finding any. Su Yingxue guessed that the Gu corpses might be placed at fixed positions, and the heavier the scent of blood, perhaps the more Gu corpses there would be.
She and Zi Wei walked to a street in the east of the city. Compared to the other two clean streets, this one was the most thoroughly destroyed, trampled and damaged, with blood and dismembered limbs scattered all around.
As Su Yingxue walked, Zi Wei suddenly pulled her to hide behind a ruined wall and casually pointed to the side.
Su Yingxue looked in the direction he was pointing and her eyes widened.
“This…”
It was simply too terrifying!
Not far from where they hid, there was a large group of Gu corpses gathered together. Behind them was a huge pit, the contents of which were unclear. But all of them were buried headfirst inside it, making ‘keng chi keng chi’ sounds, then occasionally they threw something out.
It was arms and legs, as well as human heads.
They looked like people who had just died, but could also very well be alive.
Thrown here.
Su Yingxue covered her mouth, murmuring softly to herself, “Chen Ruobai is raising Gu corpses in this city, and he’s even feeding them.”
Gu corpses needed the nourishment of blood.
That is, they had to keep throwing fresh people in here to ‘keep alive’ this group of Gu corpses.
Zi Wei looked at the tire marks behind the massive pit and lowered his voice, “Just delivered.”
Su Yingxue also cast a glance, “Let’s wait a little longer, wait for the delivery carts to move further away before we capture a Gu corpse. Otherwise, they’ll be discovered.”
Zi Wei nodded, “Hmm.”

After about half an hour, the Gu corpses were close to finishing their feast. The stench of blood in the air was so intense it made one dizzy almost to the point of fainting.
Su Yingxue took a medicinal pill to avoid being affected.
Zi Wei didn’t seem to think anything was amiss. While the Gu corpses were not paying attention, he stepped forward, swiftly bound one, and dragged it in front of Su Yingxue, who quickly sprinkled medicine on it.
After the two retreated, the Gu corpse struggled a few times before becoming motionless.
Wearing gloves and a mask, Su Yingxue approached for examination and discovered with joy, “The medicine is effective. Once it penetrates the wound, it can quickly put the Gu worms to sleep. Without the drive of the Gu worms, the Gu corpse is useless.”
Su Yingxue continued her inspection and found that the Gu corpse was one of the batch previously refined by Chen Ruobai using corpses, not living people, so it had no consciousness of its own and entirely relied on Chen Ruobai’s control. Its lethality was the weakest. If she and Saint Ruan hurried the preparation of the potion and immediately attacked the city, they were highly confident they could take down Long Guan City.
“Who’s there?!”
A furious shout rang out, startling Su Yingxue.
She and Zi Wei quickly hid, only to discover that someone had returned.
It was a woman of petite stature, clad in black armor and wearing a black iron mask.
Though she looked frail, she was not at all afraid of the Gu corpse. Instead, she discovered their intrusion nimbly and, waving her hand, shouted loudly, “Someone has breached Long Guan City and is inspecting the Gu corpses, hurry! Catch them, they cannot be allowed to leave alive!”
Upon Chen Qingshui’s command, the palace guards transporting the cargo rushed over to search.
Su Yingxue and Zi Wei could have escaped, but having touched the blood on the Gu corpse, Chen Qingshui blew a short flute, and the swarm of Gu corpses collectively sprang into action. Smelling the blood on her hand, they moved swiftly toward them.
Even after Su Yingxue discarded her gloves, they were still discovered.
Chen Qingshui, leading her men and the swarm of Gu corpses, pursued them rapidly, trapping them before they could reach the city walls.
Chen Qingshui drew her sword and pointed it at them, “Quite bold of you to dare to break into Long Guan City.”
Su Yingxue and Zi Wei were both wearing masks. Since they had been caught, they no longer intended to run.
This swarm of Gu corpses could run much faster than people.
And the walls of Long Guan City were indeed high.
Su Yingxue stuffed the medicine into Zi Wei’s hands, “Go back and tell Saint Ruan the potion is effective. A stronger dose can bring down the Gu corpses faster.”
Zi Wei pushed the medicine back into her arms, “You will leave safely.”
If anyone was to die, it would be him.
“With your lightness skill, you can get away.”
Her lightness skill was really not as good as his.
But she had Little Ginseng to protect her body, so she wouldn’t die, nor was she afraid of Gu poison.
He wouldn’t make it.
Ignoring her explanations, Zi Wei drew his sword and charged at Chen Qingshui. Although Chen Qingshui knew martial arts, she was no match for a master like Zi Wei.
The moment she was wounded, she tumbled several times and, lying on the ground, blew the short flute to call for the Gu corpses to protect her and confront Zi Wei.
This man… was too formidable!
His attire and ruthless demeanor were strikingly similar to the top assassin from the legendary Silver Moon Pavilion.
Serving Chen Ruobai, she certainly knew of Empress Su Yingxue, who had a highly skilled Silver Moon Pavilion assassin by her side; his every strike was deadly, and the Gu corpses could not harm him in the least.
All she could do was use the sound of the short flute to summon other Gu corpses from different places.
Otherwise, they really couldn’t kill them!
Zi Wei’s blade was so fast that the naked eye could not catch it, and in a short time, several dozen Gu corpses lay before him, their heads severed from their bodies, the cuts neat and even, without a single wrinkle.
But Su Yingxue, watching the other side, frowned fiercely, “Too many! The Gu corpses from all of Long Guan City have been summoned here!”
No matter how formidable Zi Wei was, he couldn’t fight off thousands of Gu corpses!
“Zi Wei, hurry and go!”
Su Yingxue pulled at his arm from behind, her urgency causing the words to slip out.
Zi Wei tensed, his body stiffening, “You…”
What was she calling him?
As Su Yingxue locked eyes with him, her heart trembled fiercely.
