Chapter 189: Wu Gu's Worries (2)
"Is there really such a thing? Why haven't I heard of it from you before?" Yu Linglong curiously asked.
Wu Gu then glared at her and said, "'The Ten Realms' is a secret scripture of the Spirit Mountain. Only the ten witches of the Spirit Mountain are qualified to read it. Moreover, it contains confidential information… Why would I tell you about it? Do you want to gossip about it?"
Wu Gu's words made Yu Linglong shut up, but she didn't refute her.
That's because the contents recorded in "The Ten Realms" can't be easily leaked.
Although others were present in the Bamboo Garden, only the Wolf God and Wu Gu could hear each other. The other younger generation couldn't.
In the face of Wu Gu's well-intentioned persuasion, Lu Heng smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your concern. I will restrain myself and never act recklessly."
Yu Linglong and Wu Gu are deeply concerned about his potential conflict with the Mermaid Kingdom, however, he secretly desires to express that with his current level of ability, if excluding the Heavenly Thunder Sword, he cannot even compare in sheer combat power to the War General they encountered in the South Sea. Where is his confidence to "cause trouble" coming from?
Although the Heavenly Thunder Sword is formidable, it can only deliver one blow.
If it actually comes down to it, even if Lu Heng can instantly kill the Lord of the Mermaid Kingdom with a single sword strike, the remaining upper echelons of the Mermaid Kingdom would be enough to turn him into a wolf meat hotpot.
Therefore, their concerns for him, Yu Linglong and Wu Gu, are completely unnecessary.
Lu Heng has only been cultivating for a few years… If it truly came to blows, he is probably not even a match for Yu Linglong, who is currently standing before him.
However, speaking such words is futile; Wu Gu and the others surely would not believe him.
After Gu Yan was left behind, Lu Heng hurriedly left with Xiao Ai following Yu Linglong.
In the small bamboo garden, the fox demon Su Xiaoxiao watched the Wolf God's departing figure, hesitant to speak.
Until the Wolf God had completely disappeared, she couldn't help but ask, "Madame Gu, if Miss Huo Feng really falls under the spell, would the Wolf God really take action to kill her?"
This is something that the little fox can't let go of in her heart.
The Wolf God's style of acting is always at odds with her understanding. After all, Miss Huo Feng is the Wolf God's good friend!
Shouldn't good friends protect and not inquire about each other's affairs? But the Wolf God said that if Miss Huo really falls into the demonic path, it will personally kill her…
The little fox was perplexed.
Wu Gu, who was studying the jar, didn't even lift her head and said, "If others said it, I might not believe it because protecting one's own is an instinct for most people. But if it's from the Wolf God, I can definitely tell you…it must be true."
Wu Gu added, "Don't be fooled by the Wolf God's amiable and gentle personality, that's only for good-hearted people. Remember, he cultivates the power of heavenly thunder!"
"What is heavenly thunder? It's the divine punishment that punishes evil demons and slaughters demonic creatures!"
"If the Wolf God, who cultivates the power of divine punishment, says he is a good person…can you believe it?"
Wu Gu chuckled and said, "The Wolf God is kind to you because you are a righteous cultivator. If you were an evil cultivator…haha…"
Wu Gu shook her head and said with a smile, "So my little girl, cultivate the right path well and don't take the wrong way. To be able to know the Wolf God is your fortune, but also your death knell."
Half-jokingly and half-seriously, Wu Gu said, "With Lord Wolf God's personality, if you can please Him like this, if you ever encounter any troubles in the future, even if you are ten thousand miles away from Him, Lord Wolf God will surely come to your rescue."
"But if you ever fall into the wrong path of cultivation, Lord Wolf God will even go to the ends of the earth to personally eliminate you."
Wu Gu looked at the little fox with a meaningful smile.
"Demon cultivators are prone to taking the evil path. After all, while they are able to cultivate the right path themselves, their friends and family may not necessarily do the same… If you encounter any evil cultivators, make sure to keep your distance from them."
Wu Gu smiled and said, "You know Lord Wolf God can easily attract the Heavenly Thunder. If you get too close to some evil cultivator friends and talk to them, you might even lure Lord Wolf God to them… and harm your loved ones in the process."
Wu Gu's ambiguous look made the little fox's heart skip a beat, causing her to unconsciously put on a pleasing smile.
"I will bear in mind Your Majesty's teachings…"
At that moment, when caught in Wu Gu's smiling gaze, the young servant girl couldn't help feeling as though her deepest secrets were laid bare for all to see.
It left her feeling tremendously anxious - had Witch Wu Gu uncovered the truth about Madame Green Bamboo?
However, after secretly watching for a while, the little fox saw Witch Wu Gu once again lower her head and focus on her own tasks. It appeared that her earlier remarks were merely casual and held no deeper meaning.
After holding back for a while, the young servant girl couldn't control the urge to speak up.
"Um…Madame Gu…" the little fox asked cautiously, "You just said that Lord Wolf God won't show any mercy if Huo Feng has fallen into the demonic path. He surely won't be lenient…but what if it's a different situation?"
The little fox demon said, "If Huo Feng hasn't truly fallen, but just temporarily controlled by the Moluo Sword, there's still a chance to save her. However, she has killed so many people in the Mermaid Kingdom…if Huo Feng can be saved and they still insist on executing her, what would Lord Wolf God…"
The little fox hesitated and couldn't find the words to say.
Upon hearing the little girl's concerns, Wu Gu fell silent for a few moments before putting down the transparent bottle in her hand and sighing.
"This is exactly what I'm worried about…"
Wu Gu said, "If Huo Feng has truly fallen to the dark side, then it's alright, but if he hasn't, he will surely protect him."
"The Mermaid Kingdom has always been unwelcoming to outsiders interfering with their affairs. His reputation may be influential in other countries of the South Sea, but not there."
"If the Mermaid Kingdom insists on killing Huo Feng, knowing the temperament of Lord Wolf God, this matter may not end well…"
Wu Gu spoke, her expression worried as she glanced towards the south.
The little fox also grew concerned.
"Then if Lord Wolf God really conflicts with the Mermaid Kingdom, can… can he… save Sister Huo Feng?" The little girl hesitated and asked softly.
Wu Gu remained silent for a moment, then shook her head slowly.
"I am not sure about that… He is an ancient being with exceptional abilities, and he has an awe-inspiring sword at his disposal. Although it has been sheathed, it has already caused fear to arise."
"But it is also not easy to be involved with the Mermaid Kingdom since their mysteries are unknown to outsiders."
"If these two sides really fight…"
After considering for a long time, Wu Gu could only smile bitterly and say, "I don't know who will win or lose, but one thing is for sure, a large number of South Sea aquatic creatures will die again."
