After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 49 New Skills.

After Fang Lingchu finished speaking, they were almost at the Fang residence.

The group following the carriage disappeared as soon as they arrived at their destination, as if the people who had been following the carriage and watching the show were just a hallucination of the guards.

As soon as Fang Ling stepped out of the carriage, she saw her mother and sister standing at the door waiting for her.

Upon seeing her mother, Fang Lingchu jumped off the carriage and rushed to embrace her.

Although she felt less nervous while watching the gossip, the tension in her heart truly disappeared when she saw her family.

Madam Fang originally wanted to ask her if she was injured, but seeing Gu Wangyan getting off the carriage, she could only thank him first.

"Thank you for saving my daughter today, General. Please come in, my master and I will be here shortly."

Because Fang Lingxing and Fang Lingming were about to take their exams and were studying at the academy instead of going home, the Fang family did not inform them about Fang Lingchu's assassination.

Today is the day that Lord Fang goes to work at the Ministry of Revenue, so he is not at home. After receiving the news that his daughter had been assassinated, he was still in a meeting with various departments.

He could only give some instructions to the Left and Right Vice Ministers before rushing back.

He had just returned home and hadn't even had time to take off his official robes when he went to the reception room.

Only when he saw that Fang Lingchu was safe and sound did he feel relieved.

Then he noticed Gu Wangyan standing above and quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, General. Thank you for saving my daughter."

Gu Wangyan quickly helped Minister Fang up and said, "Madam Fang, you're too kind. It's what I should do. If there's nothing else, I'll be going."

Minister Fang respectfully saw Gu Wangyan off.

Mrs. Fang checked her youngest daughter inside and out before saying with relief, "Luckily, she's not hurt. Let's see if you dare to go out and play like this again."

Fang Lingchu said coquettishly, "Mom, I didn't go out to play today. I went to save someone. On the way home, the car broke down and I was attacked. How can you blame me?"

Fang Lingyan looked at her aggrieved younger sister and quickly said, "Mother, Chu'er already knows she was wrong, so please don't blame her. She must have been terrified after being attacked."

Fang Lingchu quickly ran to her sister's side, leaning weakly against her, and then nodded to her mother.

"Mom, I'm already in such a terrible state, please stop scolding me, I'm hungry."

Upon hearing that her daughter was hungry, Mrs. Fang forgot about scolding and quickly instructed the kitchen to prepare food.

Just then, Lord Fang returned and, seeing Fang Lingchu clinging to her sister looking so pitiful, asked, "Were you frightened today?"

Fang Lingchu nodded quickly. She was genuinely frightened at first, especially by the poisoned needle aimed at her. If she hadn't dodged in time, she might have been poisoned.

She won't die from the poisoning, but it will hurt a lot.

Minister Fang looked at his daughter and said irritably, "Let's see if you still want to go out and play every day."

Minister Fang was about to say something, but after receiving a look from his wife, he could only say irritably, "Alright, hurry up and eat."

Seeing that her father didn't scold her, Fang Lingchu happily responded and quickly ate her meal.

Here.

Gu Wangyan returned to the General's Mansion and went to his room. He had his men guard the outside of the room, picked up the medicine Fang Lingchu had given him, and asked Situ Shaojie to stay by his bedside.

He took the pill.

After taking the pill, Gu Wangyan felt something was wrong with his body.

Gu Wangyan couldn't help but say, "Shaojie, I can feel my legs again."

Seeing Gu Wangyan in pain, Situ Shaojie quickly went over and rolled up his trouser leg, revealing a red leg with something wriggling under the skin, seemingly about to break through.

Seeing this, Situ Shaojie quickly ordered someone to prepare a basin and water. Then, he took out a dagger from his pocket, picked up Gu Wangyan's foot, and made a small cut on the sole. As if finding an outlet, the substance beneath Gu Wangyan's skin instantly gushed from the wound into the basin of water.

Both feet were cut open to let the contents flow out.

Situ Shaojie looked at the little worm that had been wriggling in the basin for a short while before dying, his eyes lowered, lost in thought.

Suddenly, Gu Wangyan felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if insects were crawling out.

At that moment, something was about to flow out of his mouth, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

After going through this process for an hour, Gu Wangyan felt much better.

The redness on his leg gradually faded, and his skin returned to its original snow-white color. Seeing that the bleeding had stopped, Situ Shaojie quickly bandaged his foot with a cloth.

Gu Wangyan vomited out all the Gu worms inside his body.

Gu Wangyan was almost fully recovered, while the High Priest of Southern Xinjiang was rolling on the ground, cawing in pain.

His natal Gu worm was destroyed, and he suffered a backlash from it, feeling the pain of being eaten away by thousands of ants.

However, neither Fang Lingchu nor Gu Wangyan knew any of this.

Gu Wangyan's pain gradually subsided, and his body was slowly recovering.

His lips, which had turned pale from the pain caused by the Gu worms, gradually regained their color, and his strength slowly returned.

He felt his body slowly recovering, and even his old injuries from adulthood seemed to have healed.

Gu Wangyan, who had been lying in bed in pain, sat up after an incense stick's time and said, "I feel much better now."

Situ Shaojie watched from the side. In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he saw a vibrant life force in a person who was on the verge of death. That elixir was truly amazing.

Situ Shaojie couldn't wait to place his hand on Gu Wangyan's pulse and examine him carefully. Then he looked at him in surprise.

"All your wounds are healed, and you look like a newborn calf!"

Gu Wangyan was no longer in the mood to care about Situ Shaojie's expression; he was even happier that all his ailments had disappeared!

Fang Lingchu and the system received a notification just as Fang Lingchu finished eating and was reading a storybook in her room.

[Congratulations, host, you have successfully completed the mission of ensuring Gu Wangyan's survival. Reward: 8 Luck Points. Current Luck Points: 10. Would you like to redeem a new skill?]

This reminder startled Yirenyi.

Fang Lingchu patted her chest and said, "[That scared me to death! I was just getting into character.]"

The system was also startled, but seeing that the Luck Mission was complete, it happily told Fang Lingchu: [Host, stop looking. The Luck Mission is complete. You can exchange for a new skill now.]

Fang Lingchu looked at whether she wanted to exchange for the new skill and clicked "exchange" without hesitation.

Then I saw a huge lottery board with tons of skills on it.

For example: the Twelve Zodiac Animals skill, the Summoning Lightning skill, the Listening to Species skill, the Shadow Legion skill, and so on.

Fang Lingchu looked at the lottery board and asked, "Is this skill so random? It's like winning a lottery."

The system urged, "Host, hurry up and draw the prize!"

Fang Lingchu gently tapped the lottery button in the middle, and saw the steering wheel spin rapidly before the pointer stopped on a skill.

What skill do you all hope she gets?
