Gu Immortal Returns

Mrs. Xu knew that I must have seen something that scared me.

She sat next to me and held me tightly in her arms.

Only in Mrs. Xu's arms did I feel an unprecedented sense of security, and I slowly fell asleep.

When I woke up, lying on the bed, Mrs. Xu was lying next to me, looking at me seriously.

Seeing me waking up, she said to me gently: "Rui'er, you're awake!"

This time I was recognized by the Gu boy. I was worried that I would be found by the witch in the future. I said directly to Mrs. Xu.

"Mom, I don't want to go out anymore. It's really scary outside."

Mrs. Xu knew that I must have seen something that scared her, and she immediately comforted her.
  "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we will never go out again in the future, don't worry..."

Mrs. Xu held me in her arms and comforted me softly.

Then Mrs. Xu told me a lot of things that happened when she was not out of the cabinet, and I was very fascinated.

My brother knew that I had not gone to the cloth store, so he came back anxiously and immediately came to my room.

Seeing Mrs. Xu comforting me, my brother finally breathed a sigh of relief.

My brother suddenly realized that I might have seen something related to a witch.

If my brother must protect me, he must get rid of the witch.

The elder brother immediately arranged for people to continue searching for the witch.

The witch who was far away in Shenshu Village suddenly felt something strange about the Gu boy.

At this time, she was discussing with the clan leader how to refine Gu Immortal again.

The Gu insect in the witch's hand began to move.

"The Gu Immortal has appeared."

After hearing the witch's words, the clan leader immediately said: "Can you find the Gu Immortal?"

The witch released the Gu insect, and the Gu insect disappeared instantly.

"what happened?"

"The Gu insect seems to have made a discovery."

I have been living with my brother for more than a month. Mr. Xu has written several times to say that he misses me. Mrs. Xu also wants me to return to Shengjing.

My brother was naturally unhappy. He didn't want to leave me, but he couldn't bear to leave me.

Finally, under Mrs. Xu's persuasion, my brother prepared to move his business to Shengjing.

Just as we were packing our things, Sheng Hongzhang came back from shopping.

He learned the news of my return from his brother and immediately came to the Lu Mansion on the mountain.

Sheng Hongzhang still held out hope that the witch only killed Jin Lan's body and kept Jin Lan's soul, so that they could still have a chance to meet in this life.

When I told Sheng Hongzhang everything, he couldn't control it anymore and turned around and left the room.

After Xiuhe left Shenshu Village with Xiuli's body, she had a home and did not dare to return.

He hid in the mountains all day long, afraid of being found by the people in Shenshu Village.

She looked at Xiuli's body and prepared to find a secluded place for Xiuli to bury her sister.

Xiuhe was searching in the mountains and found an abandoned wooden house in the mountains.

This wooden house should have been left by hunters in the mountains before, but for some reason it became vacant again.

The wooden house is dilapidated, but it can still be lived in.

Xiuhe looked at the surrounding environment. This wooden house was in the mountains, surrounded by trees. Living here, she didn't have to worry about being found.

Xiuhe dragged Xiuli's body near the wooden house, dug a pit near the wooden house, wrapped Xiuli's body in a broken straw mat, and buried Xiuli.

Xiuhe lived in the wooden house for a month. During this period, she relied on wild grass in the mountains to satisfy her hunger. Occasionally, she could catch some wild animals in the animal traps in the mountains.

Gradually Xiuhe has adapted to this kind of life, and she feels much better than staying with her stepmother.

That night Xiuhe closed the door of the wooden house early and went to bed.

The moon is like water, and the moonlight shines into the wooden house through the dilapidated windows.
  Xiuhe couldn't sleep for a long time, thinking about her sister's tragic situation, and decided to avenge her sister.

Xiuhe looked at the moon outside the window, thinking of a way to take revenge.

Suddenly a figure floated past the window.

Xiuhe was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat.

There is nothing in this wooden house, and Xiuhe has no money and cannot exchange for candles. He can only live by the weak moonlight at night.

So she had to have dinner before the sun went down.

"Who is it?" Xiuhe boldly shouted.

No one came back outside. Xiuhe waited for a while and heard no more noise.

She thought she had heard wrongly and lay back on the straw again.

The sound of footsteps came from outside, and Xiuhe was frightened. She didn't dare to make any more noise, so she could only listen to the footsteps outside quietly, trying to determine where the sound came from.

Xiuhe quickly covered himself with straw, fearing that he would be seen by the person with malicious intentions outside.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Xiuhe hid nervously in the straw, covering her mouth tightly, not daring to make any sound.

She looked out through the cracks in the straw.

The moonlight at the door illuminated the shadow of the person outside, and Xiuhe watched nervously.

Suddenly the door was violently knocked open, and Xiuhe was so frightened that she completely hid her head in the straw.

Countless bugs crawled in from the outside, crawled into the straw, and covered Xiuhe's body.

Xiuhe couldn't control anymore and got out of the straw.

"Help me..."

Xiuhe rushed out of the straw, swatting the Gu insects on his body, and ran outside quickly.

When passing by the intruder, Xiuhe suddenly stopped. She clearly saw that the person standing in the broken house was actually the dead Xiuli.

Xiuhe naturally knew the clothes. Xiuhe was naked and dumped, and the clothes on her body were still Xiuhe's.

"elder sister--"

Xiuhe couldn't control it anymore. No matter who the other party was, she stretched out her hand and hugged Xiuli directly.

Xiuli closed her eyes and stood motionless like a zombie.

Xiuhe hugged the cold body and quickly realized that her sister was dead.

Xiuhe pushed Xiuli away and asked, "Sister, aren't you already dead?"

Xiuli stood there and did not move.

Only then did Xiuhe realize that this was Xiuli's deception.

"elder sister--"

Xiuli suddenly stretched out her hand and pinched Xiuhe's shoulders.

Xiuhe was in pain and kept shouting
  "Sister, I am Xiuhe, please don't kill me, sister..."

Xiuhe's beautiful nails pierced Xiuhe's shoulders.

Blood flowed from Xiuhe's shoulder, maybe it was her biological sister. When she smelled Xiuhe's blood, Xiuli stopped what she was doing.

Xiuli let go of her hand, opened her cloudy pupils, and faced Xiuhe, making a difficult sound from her throat.

"younger sister--"

"Sister, I'm Xiuli, it's me..."

Xiuli's body fell vertically, and Xiuhe hugged Xiuli directly.

Xiuhe looked at the insects crawling around her and suddenly understood what she had heard from the person who dumped the body.

Knowing that her sister died due to the failure of the witch to refine the Gu Immortal, her sister's current appearance must be due to being infected by the Gu.

Xiuhe had never heard of Gu insects before, but Xiuhe knew that her sister must have some kind of ability to be resurrected.

After Xiuli's body fell, a Gu crawled out of Xiuli's body and then got into Xiuhe's body.

Beautiful memories flooded into Xiuhe's mind like a tide.

After seeing the torture Xiuli suffered in the village, Xiuhe couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

It took a long time for Xiuhe to regain her energy.

She took out water and helped Xiuli wipe the mud off her face.

Xiuhe saw that Xiuli crawled out of the grave, and she was very resentful. Xiuhe was ready to use Xiuli's ability to take revenge on the people of Shenshu Village.

The witch didn't know what was happening in Xiuhe at this time, and was still looking for my traces.

It wasn't until night that she discovered my trace again, and she was sure that I had appeared again, and in Qing'an City.

The witch was preparing to set off to Sheng'an City to find me. The patriarch Xu Gao wanted to keep the witch, but the witch did not agree.

When the miko was about to set off, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest.

She looked towards the south of the village and saw a mass of black energy condensing rapidly in the south of the village. (End of chapter)
