Chapter 415: Don’t Have to Worry Anymore

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This was what Shao Qiyun had said right from the start. When she was unhappy, she would recall the wretched past and have an urge to deal with Mu Jingzhe to vent her anger. Therefore, she had warned Xiao Wu not to make her unhappy.

She had often repeated this sentence over and over again, like a knife hanging over Xiao Wu’s head, forcing him to think of ways to coax her.

He had kept a watchful eye on Shao Qiyun every day and didn’t dare make mistakes, fearing that Shao Qiyun would deal with Mu Jingzhe.

During the New Year, when Shao Xi and Shao Nan had taken revenge on Shao Qiyun, Xiao Wu had tried his best to stop them because of this.

If Shao Qiyun knew that his siblings were doing this to avenge Mu Jingzhe, she would definitely make Mu Jingzhe suffer double the pain. This was what Xiao Wu feared the most, so he had to stop them.

Xiao Wu was already in enough pain, but Shao Qiyun still felt that it wasn’t enough. Her appetite had grown. “I want everything you’ve done for Mu Jingzhe. Otherwise, I’ll be unhappy. I also want what you haven’t done for her. Only then will I be happy.”

When she heard parents bragging about how wonderful their children were, she wanted Xiao Wu to do it all.

Xiao Wu had been in endless pain every day. He was forced to do all sorts of speechless things and earn money. Meanwhile, he had to think of ways to get rid of that Gu, but he had never learned the crux of it. He had racked his brains, unable to sleep day and night.

Meanwhile, Shao Qiyun’s appetite had been ballooning, just like her boldness. She had even set her sights on the other four kids, wanting to snatch them for herself too.

It was at this time that, after a lot of effort and deliberation, Xiao Wu had finally found a way to suppress the Gu in Shao Qiyun’s body.

He had heard of this method from a Miao doctor. Previously, Shao Qiyun had said that even if she died, Mu Jingzhe wouldn’t live either. This was true, but there was one situation in which it would work—if Shao Qiyun wanted to die herself.

Therefore, the only solution to the Mother-Child Gu was for Shao Qiyun to commit suicide.

At that moment, Xiao Wu had already been forced by Shao Qiyun to the point where he almost couldn’t take it anymore and he wished he could kill Shao Qiyun.

Xiao Wu had been forced to abandon his family and friends by Shao Qiyun. There was only pain left in his life now. He was already in a bad state and even intended to kill her. Hence, everything that had happened in his previous life happened once again.

Xiao Wu didn’t hesitate before taking action. This was because the longer he delayed, the more dangerous it would be for Mu Jingzhe. Plus, he had no other alternative. This was the first time he used dark music. Every day, he would play music for Shao Qiyun. He had learned to hide his killing intent, and no one could tell that there was anything wrong with his music, but the killing intent hidden within it affected Shao Qiyun.

Shao Qiyun had some psychological problems to begin with. She was the sort of person who had insanity carved into her bones. Coupled with the influence of Xiao Wu’s music, Shao Qiyun became increasingly anxious and dramatic, and her ambition grew as well.

Because the Ji Family had directly said that they wouldn’t acknowledge Xiao Wu, he had heaved a sigh of relief. He hadn’t expected Shao Qiyun to have designs on Ji Buwang again and force him to set them up. Even more coincidentally, Mu Jingzhe also came.

It had been a while since Xiao Wu had seen Mu Jingzhe. Seeing her was like a stimulant to him, allowing him to persist and find the motivation to continue. However, seeing Mu Jingzhe also made him feel agony.

Mu Jingzhe was furious when she realized that he had lost weight and hadn’t grown taller. She even questioned him about it. Her words were harsh, but behind those harsh words was concern.

At the time, Xiao Wu wanted to throw himself into her arms and whine like before, but he couldn’t.

On the way back, Shao Qiyun had kept cursing. Later on, her fury had turned into smugness again. Xiao Wu touched his hand and only smiled bitterly.

He had still exposed himself. He had practiced so much and hadn’t exposed himself in any way, but he had aroused suspicions because he had lost weight. He hadn’t done it on purpose, but how could he not lose weight? Before he had left Mu Jingzhe, even though he had been troubled, he had always eaten and slept at night. But ever since they’d fallen out, he had never eaten or slept well.

As soon as he fell asleep, he would dream of Mu Jingzhe vomiting blood and dying over and over again. He wasn’t able to sleep at all.

Other than the fact that he was thin, his clothes were also another clue that nearly gave him away. He was wearing these old clothes because Shao Qiyun didn’t want to buy him new ones. On the other hand, he wanted to wear the clothes Mu Jingzhe had bought for him, for it would then feel as if Mu Jingzhe was still by his side.

But in fact, that wasn’t the case. If this continued and he didn’t solve the problem soon, he might really never be able to return to Mommy’s side again.

Shao Qiyun had started nagging again about what she wanted to do next. She had her sights set overseas, and she said that she wanted to go abroad. This made Xiao Wu feel increasingly anxious and determined to solve this problem as soon as possible.

He increasingly lost control of his hatred and killing intent for Shao Qiyun, but that music didn’t only affect Shao Qiyun. It also affected him. After all, he was too young, so later on, even Xiao Wu lost control more and more. Afraid that an unexpected situation would arise again, from that day onward, Xiao Wu worked hard and successfully drove Shao Qiyun crazy. She finally wanted to die.

Although she wanted to die, even if she died, she didn’t want Xiao Wu to live without her and return to Mu Jingzhe’s side. Therefore, before she died, she wanted to kill herself with Xiao Wu and watch him drink before drinking the liquid herself.

If Xiao Wu hadn’t switched the pesticide to water beforehand, he might have died before Shao Qiyun did. Fortunately, he had been prepared.

As Shao Qiyun had committed suicide by drinking pesticide, at that moment, she’d intended to die. The Mother Gu in her body sensed it and felt extremely anxious. If there was any smell of blood outside, the Mother Gu would escape in order to live, wanting to switch to a new host.

The Mother Gu was in a person’s body and was telepathically linked to the host. However, as long as it was drawn out, it would be fine before it entered the new host. Xiao Wu had been waiting for this opportunity.

After Shao Qiyun finished drinking the liquid and collapsed, Xiao Wu got up again and cut his finger with a knife, making it smell of blood. He tempted the Gu worm at the tip of Shao Qiyun’s nose.

In the end, Xiao Wu finally succeeded in luring the Mother Gu out. When the female Gu crawled out of Shao Qiyun’s nose, Xiao Wu killed the Mother Gu immediately.

After leaving the host, this Mother Gu was just a worm whose life could be taken with a stomp of a foot.

The death of the Child Gu wouldn’t have much of an impact on the Mother Gu, but if the Mother Gu died, the Child Gu would also die. If the Child Gu died, Mu Jingzhe would then be safe.

Mu Jingzhe had been anxious and uneasy all this time because she had been affected by the emotions in Shao Qi’s Mother Gu. Later on, she had vomited blood because the Child Gu had died. This was also why the blood had been black.

Rather than calling it blood, it would be more accurate to call it Child Gu.

What Xiao Wu was most afraid of was that the Child Gu was so powerful that it would also drag its host down and make it die with it. Fortunately, the Child Gu was still young and Mu Jingzhe quickly vomited blood, so the problem wasn’t that big.

Unlike when she had vomited blood previously, this time, vomiting blood meant she would survive.

Xiao Wu didn’t say much about how much suffering he had gone through or how much effort he had made to find this solution. He only talked about how Shao Qiyun had threatened him and introduced the Mother-Child Gu and the solution later on.

“Now that the Child and Mother Gu are both dead, you’re safe, Mom. You don’t have to worry anymore.”

Mu Jingzhe hadn’t expected something like the Mother-Child Gu to really exist. It didn’t sound real, but her bloody vomit and her inability to find the cause of the illness forced her to believe it.. Mu Jingzhe thought that this was the world of a novel, so this was probably why everything was possible.
