Chapter 238 (1/2)

Nan Xun wasn’t tired of living, she had a strong hidden supporter. The void beast Little Eight could help shield her pain any time. At least she didn’t have to worry about dying from pain.

The confident Nan Xun suddenly saw an extra pair of snow-white boots, and the white corner of a robe just a bit above them.

The robe must have been made from the best silk brocade in Nanyun Kingdom, because it was soft and thin. It was pure white at a glance, but when examined closer it had a layer of vague auspicious clouds embroidered on it, something that even an OP embroidery master was incapable of achieving.

Who knew when State Master arrived in front of her; his hand moved slightly, and he slowly raised and stretched it in her direction.

That hand was so beautiful. It was white and slender, and his fingers were like bamboo. Even his fingernails were shiny, which fascinated Nan Xun.

Nan Xun stupidly moved her hand towards it, but that beautiful palm unexpectedly missed her raised hand. Two fingers bent and abruptly flicked her forehead.

Something drilled inside her forehead.

After a second of confusion, her pupils suddenly shrank!

She nearly vomited out a scream, but because Little Eight blocked her sense of pain in time, it got stuck in her throat.

But just now, even though it was only for a moment, the pain was like something chewing on her brain and made her tremble all over.

Gong Shiqi’s eyes widened slightly. Lord, he… that was the brain-eating gu that was refined personally by the Lord!

Nan Xun, who was of the weaker gender, didn’t utter a word after receiving the brain-eating gu that had been refined by State Master himself. Her expression was absolutely steadfast, as if she was looking at the grim-reaper unflinchingly.

Everyone watched how her face changed from ruddy to deathly pale like a ghost. There were beads of sweat dripping down her beautiful face from her forehead, converging into a small strand that flowed down to her broad collar.

Gong Shiqi looked at her in a daze. He suddenly saw that smelly little beggar in a new light; his desire to kill her from before also faded a lot.

After a while, the state teacher’s palm lightly swung across Nan Xun’s forehead as he took the brain-eating gu away.

In the next second, Nan Xun almost couldn’t help but yell out. Keeping in mind the dauntless persona that she pretended to have before, she finally swallowed the scream back.

“F*ck, Little Eight, why did you remove the shield so quickly? Don’t you know that pain also has lingering effects?”

Little Eight said innocently, “…I already restrained it for you for a few seconds more.”

Nan Xun, “Really? How come it’s still this painful ah, it’s pain that no ordinary person can bear!”

Little Eight sighed, “You can’t even bear this little bit of pain, what will you do for the following days ah?”

Nan Xun immediately said, “Don’t I have you?”

“If I block your sense of pain so often, then it would affect your other five senses in the future. You may go blind or deaf, I’m really not lying to you.”

Nan Xun was very calm, “I would rather be blind and deaf than feel that awful pain again.”

Little Eight: …

Cutting through the dead silence, the immaculate State Master suddenly spoke. “Satisfactory, you will serve as this Lord’s dedicated gu person hereafter.”

For Nan Xun, this flat and cold voice was just like it was spoken by an immortal ah, an immortal.

Nan Xun bowed to him deeply. “Thanking Lord State Teacher for his grace!”

After the state teacher gave this order, he returned to the main hall to rest first while the distribution of gu people was handed over to Gong Da.
