The Destiny of Love in Ancient Times
Shooting a Living Corpse

QING MAO initially did not realize it would face an attack head-on. He immediately dodged as quickly as possible and came out of the water completely. His expression turned serious. There was a low grunting sound. It was clear from the black-robed human figure that turned out to fill the room.

The girl pulled out the lantern. Hyou was already beside him, making a spiritual protector so that the black figure would not notice the two.

“What is it?” Qing Mao was briefly shocked and immediately recovered.

“It looks like it's what made both of your subordinates hurt.” Hyou guessed. “Living life.”

“What?! A undead? Are you sure?”

“Yes. Notice, don't they have no breath?”  Hyou narrowed her eyes.

Qing Mao tried to calm down. He watched the black-robed men carefully. It was true, in the basement, he felt no one's breath at all except his own and Hyou's.

The black-robed men were like bodies that were only controlled by a certain power. If any other party was considered an enemy, they would directly attack him.

The two also saw a stone door that was tightly shut. There may be another room. Despite wanting to find out, both Qing Mao and Hyou had to take care of those black-robed men first.

Their faces could not be seen as they were blocked by a large hood. Qing Mao came out of the protective layer and made Hyou and pulled out a gun. He tried to shoot them in the head.

Dor's!

Dor's!

Several shots were fired hitting the heads of several black-robed men. They just growl and fall. Before long, their bodies burned and turned into ashes.

This made several other black-robed men wary of Qing Mao.

“Can they be burned with fire?” ask Qing Mao. He's dumbfounded.

At first he was just testing, whether by being shot, their heads would be destroyed. Who would have guessed if the result was beyond his own expectations.

Hyou who had been watching from the start was shaking her head. “Not the fire that triggered them, but the metal on the bullet.”

“Metal?”

“Metals may not be known to ancient people today. They do not know if metal is able to make the undead lose their spiritual function,” Hyou explained. “The bottom line is, Gu Wei doesn't know if you have things like this. He doesn't even know if you're from modern times.”

“So, Gu Wei is still using the old way?”

“Ya.”

The dead body that had fallen down turned into ashes and left only a black robe. The two checked the other dungeons to see if the creatures still existed. It turns out, there are still many. Even twice as much as before.

But this time Qing Mao did not use a gun anymore, but rather another explosive weapon.

“Do you intend to blow this place up?” Hyou who saw the girl holding a grenade was surprised.

The corner of the man's mouth twitched and almost forgot that Qing Mao originally came from an ancient mercenary regiment. The way is really extreme.

“No harm.” Qing Mao snorted.

“...” Hyou thought that the girl was provoking Gu Wei.

Sure enough, shortly after they discussed, the sound of explosions in the bamboo forest left some people around the place astonished. They think if natural disasters arrive, some think if the enemy attacks the border.

But no one can be sure of that. But the news had reached the imperial palace.

When the palace soldiers were deployed to see what was happening in the bamboo forest, Qing Mao and Hyou had already left the place. The soldiers found some suspicious things. They returned to the palace to report the incident.

When nightfall came, Gu Yihao was already back. He went to Qing Mao's house after hearing the incident that made the palace noisy all day.

When Gu Yihao came, the girl was reading a book.

“Do you misbehave out there?” tanyakanya.

“What logic? I'm just playing.” Qing Mao smiled. He was completely concerned about the presence of the black brocade-robed man.

“Nakal!” Gu Yihao sat down beside her and pinched the girl's nose. “Do you have the consequences?  It was fortunate that Gu Wei did not appear to take revenge so quickly. If not, how can I calm down?”

Gu Yihao escorted the recently married An Daiyu to the residence of the An family. He almost left his subordinates behind when he found out if Qing Mao went to a dangerous place. Although Hyou was with him, she was still not calm.

It was fortunate that Qing Mao was still safe and sound.

"He wouldn't dare show up. At least for now. Unless Gu Wei was already impatiently waiting for the solar eclipse," Qing Mao said with narrowed eyes.

"Indeed." Gu Yihao chuckled.

Both have their own plans but work well together. Han Baimo was probably traveling towards this country. However Gu Yihao had to still make sure that the great prince of Baicheng country would be safe when he arrived at Quentian country.

"He's coming? Isn't it too fast?" Qing Mao frowned.
