Card Maker: My Cards Have Unlimited Chains

Chapter 113 Wu Tianzi’s mixed blood and Jieshuang’s thoughts

Yu Cang did not accept Jiang Ya's request for a duel.

Not to mention that there is no suitable venue for a duel here. As the object of "fighting", it is impossible for Gu Jieshuang to watch Jiang Ya's mischief.

She first cast an apologetic look at Yu Cang, and then pulled Jiang Ya into a small alley nearby. No sound was heard from inside. When the two came back, Yu Cang saw Jiang Ya standing behind Gu Jieshuang with tears in her eyes, looking extremely aggrieved.

But it also became quiet.

After Lin Yunqing also returned, Gu Jieshuang led everyone to her home.

This was a two-story bungalow with a small courtyard. Yu Cang followed Gu Jieshuang and pushed the door open. As soon as he entered the house, he suddenly felt cold all over.

The temperature inside is much lower than outside.

Yu Cang and the others were okay, they were soul card masters after all, but Qi'er, who had little endurance, shivered on the spot and hugged himself.

Yu Cang was a little puzzled.

The air conditioning is turned on a little too much.

"Jieshuang, you are back."

A gentle female voice came from upstairs, and then, a middle-aged woman slowly walked downstairs.

She was wearing very simple clothes, and there were not many wrinkles on her face, but they were all deep. He obviously doesn't look too old, but he already has silver hair.

The woman's face was a little pale, and she seemed to be in poor health.

"Mom! Let me introduce you." Gu Jieshuang came to Gu Zhihan's side, "This is Jiang Ya who I told you to come back with me..."

"Hello, aunt! I..." Jiang Ya became a little more energetic. Just when she was about to show off, Gu Jieshuang interrupted her mercilessly.

"This! This is my boss... of course, he is also my senior now."

"You are Yu Cang." Gu Zhihan showed a smile, "I heard Jie Shuang mention you many times, please take care of this child."

"Hello, aunt." Yu Cang smiled, "I didn't do anything."

"And her name is Yu Qi'er, who is the boss's sister, and the last one is Lin Yunqing, who is my classmate... The boss is busy with a major military overhaul, so he came here with the army and asked my mother to help arrange it. It’s time to stay…”

Hearing this, Gu Zhihan's eyes seemed to light up, and he looked at Yu Cang with a little more appreciation.

She said: "Welcome... Just treat yourself as if you are at your own home. Just sit wherever you like. Jieshuang, you can play with your friends first, and I will prepare lunch."

After saying that, she smiled and turned around to go upstairs.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but after she went upstairs, the temperature in the air suddenly became much more normal.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to turn on the air conditioner." Gu Jieshuang took everyone to the living room, then turned and went to another room.

Yu Cang's brows were raised.

No air conditioning? Then why is it so cold? Could it be...

Yu Cang tried to extract the entries for this house. To his surprise, a six-hour countdown appeared on it.

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Cang canceled the extraction.

After all, he had to follow the army into a different space in the afternoon. It was a rare opportunity, and he planned to withdraw it then.

As for this, let’s wait until we come out of the different space.

Nothing commendable happened in the following time. After everyone had lunch as usual and assigned rooms, they began to wait for the opening of the military camp in the afternoon.

At this time, Gu Jieshuang suddenly found Yu Cang.

"Boss." Gu Jieshuang poked her head out of the door, "Want to go for a walk? I'll take you around the neighborhood."

Before Yu Cang had any reaction, Qi'er took the first step and hugged his arm, looking at him with pleading eyes: "Brother, let's go out for a walk...it's so boring here."

"That...okay." Yu Cang smiled.

There are many sycamore trees planted on both sides of the road in Wuling Village. As autumn approaches, the leaves on the trees have begun to wither and turn yellow. It happened to have rained a lot a few days ago, and countless leaves fell to the ground, changing the color of the ground. .

Qi'er still held the hands of the two of them, looking at the road with big eyes without blinking, as if he was deliberately choosing intact sycamore leaves to rest on.

Of course, apart from this, Qi'er's attention has been focused on the conversation between Cang and Gu Jieshuang, silently eavesdropping.

"Speaking of which," Yu Cang said, "There are still a few days until the Fire Festival. Where did you get the holiday?"

"I came back early. During the Fire Festival, there will be more people and the road will be difficult to walk." Gu Jieshuang massaged Qi'er's little hands while walking, "Because there are no classes, and the boss is not here, the school I was a little bored here, so I went home early."

"Hmm... I didn't expect that I could still meet you after following the army so far."

"I'm also very surprised." Gu Jieshuang raised her head, looked at Yu Cang's profile, and laughed a few times, "Boss, I haven't told you about my family yet, have I?"

"It's true, no. Can you tell me?"

"Actually, I have a lot of background! Boss, don't be scared by me." Gu Jieshuang put her hands on her hips and seemed very proud, "Come on, I'll take you somewhere."

Step, step...

After passing through a small alley covered with sycamore leaves, and turning a corner, his eyes suddenly opened up, and an ancient temple with mottled walls came into Yu Cang's field of vision.

An old man wearing a raincoat was cleaning the dew-stained fallen leaves on the stone steps nearby. A scent full of ancient flavor floated in the air, which made Yu Cang feel much calmer.

He raised his head and looked at the plaque under the eaves.

"Wu Tianzi Temple?"

"Yes."

Gu Jieshuang led the two of them into the temple, and Qi'er pouted.

All the leaves here have been swept away, so she doesn’t have to step on them!

If there are no leaves to step on, you will die... Fortunately, there are still many lives left, um... let's pause for now.

Walking into the temple, a tall statue came into view. This statue was very familiar to Yu Cang. He had seen it countless times in history textbooks - it was the statue who marched three thousand miles with a sword more than two thousand years ago. Bit myth: Emperor Wu.

Based on Gu Jieshuang's previous words, Yu Cang raised his eyebrows, as if he had guessed something, and said, "You are not going to say that you are a descendant of Emperor Wu, are you?"

"Well... that's not the case." Gu Jieshuang scratched the side of his face with his fingers, "But it has something to do with Emperor Wu. Boss, have you heard of Xuanhuang Wei?"

"Well, I heard that they are the personal soldiers of Emperor Wu, but they are said to be personal soldiers, but Emperor Wu uses them as an expeditionary force. The Xuanhuang Guard has been on foreign expeditions since its establishment, and it has almost never stopped."

"That's right." Gu Jieshuang nodded and looked at Emperor Wu who was standing on the altar, "My ancestor was a general of Xuanhuang Guard."

"Really?" Yu Cang looked at Gu Jieshuang, "I heard that in order to drive the wild beasts out of the Wu Dynasty, the Xuanhuang Guards fought everywhere. The average military age in the team was less than one year... Jieshuang, you can be considered a hero. descendants."

"Well... my mother and elders have always told me this since I was little, saying that I am a descendant of Xuanhuang Wei and cannot live up to their name." Gu Jieshuang had a smile on her face, but her tone was But it gradually became more complicated, "But... by now, the name of Xuanhuang Guard has long become a string of words in the history books. Even for us, it is more shackles than honor."

"……What's the meaning?"

"You may not know." Gu Jieshuang sighed softly, "Everyone in the Xuanhuang Guard was personally selected by Emperor Wu, and Emperor Wu only has one standard - that is, a human-animal hybrid!"

"Mixed blood?"

"Yes... a long time ago, spiritual beasts were the masters of this world. They were powerful and free, stretching their bodies freely in the world, but humans could only hibernate in corners and survive under the wings of certain spiritual beasts. Until the wild beast appeared in this world.

"After Emperor Zulong opened up the land where the real dragon died, Emperor Wu came into being. He wanted to drive all the wild beasts out of this land, but he couldn't do it with just his own myth. So he thought, the spiritual beasts are powerful, But they will be infected by Huang, but people don't have this worry. So, as long as they form an army composed of human-animal hybrids, wouldn't they be able to become invincible?

"So, Emperor Wu summoned all the mixed bloods in the world and formed the Xuanhuang Guard. After the expedition began, the Xuanhuang Guard suffered heavy losses, so Emperor Wu issued an order to encourage intermarriage with spirit beasts - anyway, at that time, the surviving spirit beasts were the only ones You can rely on us to survive, but you can't resist Wu Tianzi's order." Gu Jieshuang turned her head and looked at Yu Cang with a full smile, "Me too...a hybrid of human and animal."

Yu Cang remained silent and did not speak.

He had already guessed this.

After all, his first handed down entry [Bloodline: Wings of Supporting Frost] was obtained from Gu Jieshuang.

But at that time, he didn't know what it meant.

"It sounds like Wu Tianzi's approach was very successful." Yu Cang hesitated, "But... depending on what you mean, this human-animal hybrid physique is... very bad for you now?"

"It's not bad at all." Gu Jieshuang turned around and came to Yu Cang, "The human-animal hybrid will make our meditation speed faster, and as long as we choose the right deck, our combat power will be higher than that of the same level. Quite a bit, but the price is - our life span will be very short, and I have no complaints about this. There are advantages and disadvantages, and I have enjoyed the benefits, so I should pay the price."

"Lifespan..." Yu Cang's eyes moved slightly, as if he realized something.

In Wuling Village...it seems that there are really no old people seen.

The only one was the old man sweeping the floor I saw at the entrance of the temple just now.

Gu Jieshuang continued: "My father passed away when I was very young, and so did my other relatives. Now, only my mother is still alive, but the blood conflict in her body caused her to suffer from severe Gu's hypothermia— —This incurable disease, which is even named after us, will cause an uncontrollable loss of body temperature. In the advanced stage, it will even affect the surrounding environment, and eventually the person will die irreversibly in the extreme cold."

"Sister..." Qi'er held Gu Jieshuang's hand with both hands and sounded very distressed.

"I'm fine, Qi'er, I can live for a long time." Gu Jieshuang touched the girl's head, "Mother, she is only forty-two, but she already has white hair - in fact, mother is already considered a prominent figure in the village. It’s about longevity, and more people will end their lives before they even live to be twenty-five.”

Yu Cang was silent: "...Isn't there any treatment?"

"No... at least not yet." Gu Jieshuang paused, "But I heard that during the reign of Emperor Wu, human-animal hybrids were not like this. Our ancestor, Gu Qianshan, one of the commanders of the Xuanhuang Guard, seems to have He lived to the end without any illness or disaster, but after Wu Tianzi died, something seemed to be lost, which caused the hybrid to become what it is now."

"Any clues? Maybe I can help look for it."

"Thank you, boss~ But it's impossible." Gu Jieshuang sighed, "These are just speculations. It's hard to say whether the missing thing exists or not... Besides, I'm not dissatisfied with the way it is now. After all, this bloodline has indeed made me the best among my peers.”

Gu Jieshuang tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, with a smile on her face.

"I haven't finished talking yet... Isn't it said in the history textbook that after the death of Emperor Zulong, the Youhuang Heavenly Realm was shattered, and countless alien space fragments were scattered in the Yan Kingdom. After Emperor Wu drove out all the wild beasts, , they dismissed the Xuanhuang Guards and ordered them to retreat to the mountains and forests to guard the nearby space fragments and prevent the wild beasts from running out to harm the world... This is the origin of Wuling Village.

"In fact, there are many Wuling villages in this mountain, because there are quite a lot of space debris here... But now, with the army here, we are not really needed." Gu Jieshuang chuckled, " It is precisely because of this that my mother agreed to send me out to school. Otherwise, like everyone else in the village, I would have to stay here until my death. At most, I would join the army, but I would not leave too far."

"It's also a good thing to keep pace with the times." Yu Cang said.

"Yeah...but sometimes I think, maybe it would be better for me if it were like before. After all, I can only live until the age of twenty-five or six. If I stay in the village, In the blink of an eye, a lifetime may have passed by... But now, I have gone outside and seen a bigger and better world."

Gu Jieshuang closed her eyes and took a deep breath, still with a smile on her face: "I'm just... a little unwilling."

Yu Cang was silent.

He didn't know how to comfort Gu Jieshuang.

Gu Jieshuang opened her eyes, glanced at Yu Cang with a smile, turned around, came to the statue of Emperor Wu, and held her hands together.

"You know, boss, I once made a wish here."

"...What is it?"

"I can already see the end of my life, so I want to make this limited life shine! I want to participate in the World Soul Card Master League and stand on the duel field on top of the dead body to accept everyone's attention; I want to Go to uninhabited desperate and dangerous places and witness how thunder and storms eat away at everything at the end of the earth; I want to go to the sea garden to touch the waterfall and the abyss of the sky, and see how it has protected an entire country alone for thousands of years; go to the Elephant Tower to witness the Chongqing. Sun Temple, look at how the second sun extinguishes and rekindles at the top of the tower... If I could die on this road instead of in a hospital bed, I would have no regrets.

"There are many things I want to do. I have thought about them all, but I haven't decided which ones should be completed. Because I have been thinking that if such a person can appear, he will one day be able to do it. Will do something that may lead to no return, and it happens that he and I are close friends, partners, or even have a closer relationship... Then, I will participate in his journey, witness everything with him, and witness each other. At the end of life...you know, boss, I originally thought that I would never meet such a person."

Hearing this, Yu Cang was a little moved. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

At this time, Gu Jieshuang turned around, and Yu Cang saw some glittering and translucent light accumulating in her eyes. He couldn't tell for a moment whether it was tears or anticipation.

"Boss... you know, those things you said before to reject me are all bonus points in my opinion." Gu Jieshuang came to Yu Cang's side gently, "I, like you, can't give you a relationship. I have a long-term future, but I still can’t help but want to reach out to others, but my boss can hold it back... Sigh, compared to my boss, I’m just a scumbag.”

"...You are not, you also have the right to be loved."

"Really, then..." Gu Jieshuang bit her lip, raised her head, and looked into Yu Cang's eyes, "Will the boss... love me?"

"I..." Yu Cang opened his mouth and suddenly paused.

He has no experience in how to respond to feelings.

On the other side, Qi'er had already covered his face with his hands, and his little head was as red as a ripe apple.

Oh my God, I'm so crazy.

This is a perfect match!

I don't know what I was thinking, but Qi'er's face is now redder than Gu Jieshuang's.

After a while, the girl still didn't hear Yu Cang's response. She removed her hands from her eyes, but what she saw was a hesitant Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang, whose face was gradually dimming.

What! What are you doing!

What are you still hesitating about? There is nothing to hesitate about.

Qi'er can't see this.

Making a decisive decision, Qi'er immediately used the greatest strength in his life and hit Yu Cang's back hard!

"Ah?" Yu Cang, who was thinking about something, was stunned. Before he could control his balance, he felt a fragrant and soft body being held in his arms.

"what……"

"what?"

"Ahhhhhhh!" Qi'er's little hands danced wildly.

Both people were stunned at the same time.

"Well, I..." Yu Cang wanted to get away.

"Don't go...let me hug you for a while." Gu Jieshuang hugged her tightly and buried her red cheeks into Yu Cang's chest.

"……it is good."

Time passed quietly.

I don't know how long it took.

Gu Jieshuang took a deep breath on Yu Cang's shoulder, took the initiative to let go of Yu Cang, took a few steps back, lowered her head, and tidied the hair on her forehead.

"I understand... I won't disturb you anymore, boss." Gu Jieshuang's expression was dark and she was about to turn around and leave.

At this time, Yu Cang grabbed Gu Jieshuang's hand.

"and many more!"

Gu Jieshuang paused for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Yu Cang with red eyes, not knowing what emotions were contained in them.

Yu Cang said at this time: "Give me some time, I will cure you... When that time comes, when your life is no longer bound by anything, can you say your words about loving me again?"

"I..." Gu Jieshuang's eyes widened slightly. She couldn't control it anymore. A smile spread on her face along with two tears, "Okay!"

……

Qi'er's face turned red and he almost fainted.

Thanks to Hungry Clown and Wang__ for the reward!

It's a bit of a headache, so much to begin with
