Chapter 309: Chapter 56: Bridal Clothes Blood Gu! A Story of Both Misfortune and Fortune _2

Half a day had passed again.

Fang Youan, who was still presiding over disaster relief in Changning Weicheng, was called back by Wang Shouzhe’s envoy. Upon arrival, he briefly checked Wang Zongchang, and listened to the head of household recounting the events.

His face turned extremely solemn, he said gravely, “Let’s not discuss why the Hundred Islands Guards were involved in the evil Yin Sha incident. The Blood Gu should be the infamous Bridal Clothes Blood Gu.”

“Bridal Clothes Blood Gu?”

Wang Shouzhe continued to use the cyan Mysterious Energy to maintain Wang Zongchang’s life. At the same time, he stuffed a leaf of the Longevity Tree into his mouth. The leaf had intense healing abilities, lessening Wang Shouzhe’s burden.

“The Bridal Clothes Blood Gu was a forbidden technique developed by a radical group within the Divine Martial Dynasty to enhance bloodline groeth,” said Fang Youan solemnly. “They implanted the Blood Gu into young fierce beasts. As the beasts quickly grew up, the Bridal Clothes Blood Gu would constantly devour their bloodline essence. When the beast reached adulthood, it would be time for it to die.”

“They then extracted the Bridal Clothes Blood Gu and implanted it into the human’s spine. Using the blood-forming ability of the bone marrow, they continuously injected the essence of the beast’s bloodline into the human body, achieving the purpose of transplanting the beast’s bloodline to a human.”

As Fang Youan explained, Wang Shouzhe also gasped in surprise. The Divine Martial Dynasty, which perished a hundred thousand years ago, seemed to possess incredibly advanced technology—this was clearly gene transplant technology.

“Actually, I understand the reason humans want to become stronger. That organization wanted to make every human into a Sky Pride,” said Fang Youan. “But the Bridal Clothes Blood Gu is too cruel and it defies the Heavenly Dao. Over two hundred years ago, our Academic Palace also got a Bridal Clothes Blood Gu. Several people died as a result—it’s not a power that just anyone can handle.”

He then said some more about the Bridal Clothes Blood Gu.

After listening, Wang Shouzhe understood that the use of this Bridal Clothes Blood Gu was extremely dangerous—if one couldn’t handle it, death was certain! But, if one could survive, Wang Zongchang’s bloodline would undergo a transformation.

Subsequently, Wang Shouzhe put all his focus and energy on Wang Zongchang.

The time ticked away relentlessly.

After several days, under Wang Shouzhe’s continuous treatment, he himself was almost exhausted. Fortunately, after these several days, Wang Zongchang’s complexion gradually returned to its original color, indicating that he was going to pull through.

Only then did Wang Shouzhe truly breathe a sigh of relief, and he began to eat, drink, meditate, and recover his loss. However, he still stayed with Wang Zongchang for twelve hours a day to prevent any accidents.

Three or four days later.

Wang Zongchang woke up. Although he had been dazed during the whole process, he had a rough idea of what had happened. Struggling to get up, he thanked Wang Shouzhe, “Zongchang thanks Fourth Uncle for saving my life.”

“No problem, we are family, we should protect each other,” Seeing Wang Zongchang’s vitality and that he was not at all weak, Wang Shouzhe did a little check and found that his physique had undergone a significant transformation.

He finally relaxed. This time, Zongchang had turned a disaster into a blessing.

However, this transformation of bloodline wouldn’t be evident overnight. So, Wang Shouzhe decided to let him go back and rest for a few days to gradually discover the changes in his bloodline.

The appearance of the evil Yin Sha had raised Wang Shouzhe’s guard. Even if they were dead, there would still be noticeable traces left behind.

An order was issued for the intelligence department to investigate the matter thoroughly.

At this time, Liu Ruolan understandably brought in some delicacies she had cooked herself, “Zongchang has suffered these past days. Your fourth aunt made you some Spirit Food to help your recovery.”

“This…” Wang Zongchang, who had just barely escaped from the Bridal Clothes Blood Gu, turned pale, yet he dared not oppose his fourth aunt’s kindness, he could only thank her with a wry smile, “Thank you, Fourth Aunt, for your care.”

“Poor child, look how pale you are from hunger. Eat up first, and I’ll make you another pot.”

Then, Wang Shouzhe looked at him sympathetically.

…

A few days later.

East of Changning Weicheng, a group of well-arranged buildings sat.

The lofty walls and strict guards there showed it was the territory of a powerful family.

A few gilded characters were written on the door lintel.

“Changning Xu Family”

All of Changning Weicheng knew that the Changning Xu Family was an old Grade Eight Prominent Family.

Two hundred years ago, the Xu Family of Changning had already attained the status of a Grade Eight Prominent Family.

Moreover, they have been based in Changning Guard City for over three hundred years; with each generation further solidifying their assets and influence, making them vastly different compared to the newly-minted Grade Eight Prominent Families, some of whom aren’t even a hundred years old.

However this renowned Grade Eight Family, hasn’t been having the best of days recently.

With the Ma Huangfu’s Family seizing an opportunity a few years ago and joining the textile industry, the Xu Family of Changning has been continuously losing ground, losing many original material supplier families in a short period.

The reason is simple: the Ma Huangfu’s Family has the backing of the Celestial Huangfu Family — they might not play dirty, but they are far from merciful in business competition.

As for the Xu Family of Changning, in order to try to reach the status of a Celestial Family, their funds have been stretched to their limits. This incident has delivered a huge blow to their lifeline.

At this moment.

A horse carriage slowly parked at the main entrance of the Xu Family’s residence in Changning.

Inside the carriage.

There was a middle-aged couple with a two or three-year-old child in their arms.

The woman, due to excellent maintenance, still retained her charm and beauty, exuding the appearance of a mature, beautiful woman.

The man, with a square face, had an air of grandeur and stability about him.

This couple is none other than Wang Shouxin and his wife from the Xu Family, the seventh generation of the Wang Family.

Wang Shouxin is the eldest in his generation; he is now fifty-two years old, older than Wang Dingzu and Wang Dinghai from the generation of ‘Define the Sea’.

“Wang Shouxin, is my outfit proper?”

His wife from the Xu Family had obviously gone through great lengths with her appearance today, even wearing an elegant water-blue ice silkworm silk dress. The pearl hairpin on her head was adorned with a rarely seen ice-blue pearl pendant, and the bracelet on her wrist was an invaluable ice-blue treasure bracelet.

She looked like a noblewoman under forty.

“It looks alright.” Wang Shouxin, holding their son, responded nonchalantly, his tone noticeably perfunctory.

“Wang Shouxin!”

The Xu Family’s matriarch raised her brows, her temper flaring,” Is it because you’re under the influence of your Fourth Uncle, becoming prosperous and feeling hopeful about reaching the Spirit Platform Realm, you’re starting to dislike me and think about taking in additional wives?”

“Xu Chunyun! Don’t be unreasonable.” Wang Shouxin frowned, “When did I say I wanted to take in additional wives?”

“In any case, I don’t care. I, Xu Chunyun, gave you two sons and two daughters, and even grandchildren now after marrying into the Wang Family.” Xu Chunyun raised an eyebrow, “Even Fourth Uncle always praises me as a great contributor to the Wang Family. If you dare think of taking in additional wives, I will cry in front of Fourth Uncle’s face.”

“Enough, stop making a fuss.” Wang Shouxin’s tone softened, “The incident with Zongchang has left me feeling somewhat anxious. Haven’t I accompanied you back to your maiden home?”

“Your Fourth Uncle said our Zongchang’s mishap has turned into a blessing.” Xu Chunyun said, “Also, if it hadn’t been for Fourth Uncle’s order for you to accompany me back, how many years would it have been since you last accompanied me home?”

Upon speaking of this matter.

Wang Shouxin’s face turned somewhat helpless,” Chunyun, I wouldn’t mind accompanying you back, but isn’t it your siblings and sisters-in-law who always presume we are there to take advantage? Watching us like hawks.”

“There you go again with your squabbles.” Xu Chunyun glared at him, “Tell me, how do I look in this dress?”

“Beautiful.”

“Hmm, at least you know how to speak. Today you will accompany me and help me regain our dignity.” Xu Chunyun surreptitiously pinched his thigh, “You can have your way with me afterwards.”

“Uh…we are old husband and wife, and our grandson Shinin is still here.”

“Oh really! Wang Shouxin, you dog, I see you indeed have thoughts of taking in additional wives.”
