Chapter 96

Gu Zhi was almost angered to death by Gu Fan's words. He secretly circulated his energy and spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Sang Li was still confused by Gu Fan’s words. Seeing Gu Zhi spit blood, she panicked at once.

"Gu Zhi!" Sang Li looked at Gu Fan and urged anxiously, "Quickly take him back to the Gu Residence!"

Unexpectedly, Gu Fan said, "Miss, he will undoubtedly die, it's useless to take him back!"

"..."

Sang Li didn't want to waste time with him. She immediately supported Gu Zhi and wanted to carry him back.

"Sister..." Gu Zhi weakly called her.

"Alright alright, I'll carry him on my back!" Gu Fan pulled Gu Zhi up and swung him onto his back in one go.

"..."

Sang Li frowned slightly. Was this person a friend or a foe?

Lying on Gu Fan's back, Gu Zhi's eyes were somewhat gloomy. He said in a low voice in his ear, "Gu Fan, are you taking this chance to take revenge on me?"

"Gu Zhi, I swear I'm cooperating well with you!" Gu Fan held in his laugh.

Gu Zhi pinched his neck threateningly, "Cai Na is still locked up by me. Do you not want to see her again?"

"No no no, I was wrong. I will act well later!"

Sang Li walked behind them, feeling that something was off about the two.

After returning to the Gu Residence, Sang Li immediately called Xiao Han over.

Xiao Han examined Gu Zhi and found that his injury was not serious.

"Sister Li, don't worry. Gu Zhi is fine!" Seeing Sang Li’s anxiety, Xiao Han comforted at once.

"Miss, you can't talk nonsense! Although Gu Zhi looks fine, there is gu poison on that arrow that has entered his body!" Gu Fan said.

"Is that so?" Xiao Han was a little doubtful. She didn’t understand gu poison, so she didn’t dare make a rash conclusion. After a while, Gu Fan called over a gu doctor.

The gu doctor examined Gu Zhi, pulled out the arrow from his back, and bandaged it with a solemn expression.

"The gu worms on this arrow are very small. They can attach themselves to the surface of anything. Usually they don't look like worms, but when they encounter blood, they will grow madly, enter a person's body through the wound, and painfully eat away the person's flesh and blood."

Even Xiao Han couldn’t help but shudder at these words. This was too scary!

Sang Li immediately stepped forward and urged, "Doctor, aren't your Miao people good at witchcraft? You must have a way to save him, right?"

"Alas ..." The gu doctor sighed heavily, "Sorry miss, I'm powerless!"

Sang Li's face darkened. "He is your young tribal chief. How can you say that? I want to see your tribal chief!"

Gu Fan stepped forward and said, "Miss, I have to tell you, Gu Zhi has given up his position as the young tribal chief for you. I'm the current Miao young tribal chief. As for the tribal chief... he's busy with Elder Cai's affairs, I'm afraid he has no time to care about Gu Zhi either."

"You all..."

"Hey! Aren't you all too irresponsible? Gu Zhi is the tribal chief’s own son after all!" Even Xiao Han couldn’t stand to listen anymore.

At this moment, Gu Zhi, lying in bed, opened his eyes and signaled Gu Fan and the gu doctor to get out immediately!

Otherwise, their nonsense would soon become too much for him to cover up!

Seeing Gu Zhi's signal, Gu Fan added, "Miss, cherish your last time together!"

With that said, Gu Fan pulled the gu doctor out of the room.

"Why did the young chief pretend to be dead?" The gu doctor couldn't help asking.

Gu Fan shrugged with a gleeful look. "Who knows! I didn't expect him to end up like this for a girl!"

In the bedroom, Sang Li sat by the bed holding Gu Zhi’s hand with red eyes. "Gu Zhi, I'm sorry..."

Xiao Han felt awful watching them. She walked over and looked at Gu Zhi again.

"Sister Li, I really think he should be fine..." Xiao Han said.

At this time, Gu Zhi opened his eyes and looked at Sang Li. "Sister..."

"You're awake?" Sang Li wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and placed her hand on his face. "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere in your body?"

"Sister..." Gu Zhi grabbed her hand with a hoarse voice. "We got engaged. You are my future wife now..."

A tear slid down her face. Sang Li lowered her head slightly, feeling as if her heart was being sliced.

"Gu Zhi, tell me, how can I save you? You are skilled in witchcraft, right? You must have a way!"

"I... forget it..." Gu Zhi's eyes drooped. "I don't want to implicate you... Sister, you should leave. You never wanted to be with me anyway, right? This time, I won't keep you anymore..."

Xiao Han couldn’t even bear to keep listening. She stepped forward and said, "Come on, tell us how to save you! We won't stand by and watch you die! Sister Li likes you so much, how could she not care about you?" Gu Zhi looked at Sang Li. Tears streamed down her delicate face like a weeping fairy.

"Sister... then are you willing to marry me? As long as you consummate with your beloved, it can solve my gu poison."

Sang Li and Xiao Han were both stunned.

"What the heck? There's such an outrageous gu poison?"

Xiao Han seriously considered it for a moment. She felt like she had seen this plot in a TV series before. At that time, she even mocked the screenwriter for having shit in their brain.

Sang Li didn't say anything, just kept looking at Gu Zhi unwaveringly.

Gu Zhi's eyes flickered uneasily, obviously a little guilty.

Sang Li suddenly reached out and elegantly wiped away the tears on her face. She got up and said coldly, "In that case, you might as well wait for your death."

"..."

"Sister Li, are you really going to watch him die?" Even Xiao Han was a little surprised.

Sang Li glanced at Gu Zhi. "I'll burn some more paper money for you."

Having said that, Sang Li was about to leave.

Seeing this, Gu Zhi could no longer pretend. He immediately threw off the quilt and crawled out of bed.

"Sister!" Gu Zhi jumped off the bed and grabbed Sang Li's arm. "Don't leave!"

"Not pretending anymore?" Sang Li turned her head to look at him, her eyes a bit icy.

Xiao Han was stunned by the sight. What on earth were they doing?

Gu Zhi was a little guilty. "I didn't intend to pretend so seriously at first. It was all because of that Gu Fan who tricked me!"

"Was it fun?"

Sang Li was angry. Didn't he know how worried she was about him just now?

Didn't he know how sad she was?

If Gu Zhi had really died to save her, she didn't even know how she would face it. She would rather die than live on!

Seeing her angry, Gu Zhi immediately shook his head. "Not fun at all... I was wrong, don't be angry..."

"Let go!"

"I won't let go... Sister, I really was wrong, don't be angry with me! And I really was poisoned by gu!" Gu Zhi quickly said.

"Are you still lying to me?"

"I'm not lying to you. There really was gu poison on that arrow. It's just... there is a very powerful mother gu inside my body. It will devour all gu worms that enter my body. That's why I'm fine..."
