Chapter 176: Chapter 103: So this is how you attract romantic luck, huh?_3
Otherwise, as time went by, the closer I got to her, the faster those feelings of love would permeate my heart.
By then, even if Lu Changsheng wanted to kill her, she would gladly accept it.
Lu Changsheng saw the purple-dressed woman turn into a shadow and disappear. He wanted to chase after her but decided it was no use.
She was too fast, and without using a talisman, he couldn’t catch up with her at all.
But once out of the alley, there was the main street.
With people coming and going on the road, it wasn’t appropriate for him to use a bunch of talismans.
“Who exactly is she and why did she suddenly attack me?”
Lu Changsheng looked in the direction where the purple-dressed girl had vanished, filled with immense confusion.
He didn’t know when he had offended her, for her to lash out so abruptly.
“Could it be when I was dealing with stolen goods, someone took notice?”
Lu Changsheng guessed inwardly.
But he felt that was unlikely.
If someone had been watching him, they wouldn’t have made a move like that in the marketplace.
Afterward.
He looked at the small creature he had captured in his palm.
It was a tiny bug, less than an inch long and entirely blood-red in color.
“What is this?”
“A bug, Gu?”
Lu Changsheng gazed at the blood-red Gu writhing and appearing somewhat wilted in his hand, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“Could it be that she was trying to infest me with Gu just now?”
He remembered the moment the blood-red Gu bit him and how his mental spirit shuddered.
Immediately afterward, the Peach Blossom Gu between his eyebrows burst forth with a powerful will, suppressing the shudder, and Lu Changsheng had a vague speculation in his mind.
Since obtaining the Peach Blossom Gu, Lu Changsheng had also perused plenty of information about Gu.
He knew that, similar to demon beasts, the Gu were extremely sensitive to the quality of bloodline suppression.
For instance, a Nine Netherhound with a Heavenly-Rank bloodline could suppress ordinary demon beasts just by its presence.
This meant that demon beasts of a common bloodline would inherently feel weakened by three parts in spirit and combat strength when facing a Nine Netherhound.
And it was the same with Gu.
Even more so.
With the Peach Blossom Gu, a Heaven-Spirit Gu by his side, he could be immune to the effects of many Gu.
If other Gu tried to infest him, it was like they were challenging and offending the Peach Blossom Gu, which would provoke its instinctual resistance.
The response from the Peach Blossom Gu earlier perfectly matched this situation he was aware of.
At that moment.
The Peach Blossom Gu between his eyebrows sent out a faint ripple.
It was indicating he had just gained a wave of romance fortune.
“Romance fortune?”
“Out of the blue, where did this romance fortune come from?”
Lu Changsheng’s brows furrowed.
He felt it was quite inexplicable.
He didn’t understand where this wave of romance fortune had arisen from.
“Wait, could this romance fortune be coming from that purple-dressed girl?”
Lu Changsheng thought of the purple-dressed girl who had just fled.
“But how could there be romance fortune between us when I was just minding my business?”
“The Peach Blossom Gu has already harvested the romance fortune, which means there’s something developed between her and me, a connection.”
“But I am clearly a stranger to her; we’ve only seen each other once, so how come something developed between us just like that?”
At this moment, Lu Changsheng was completely puzzled.
He couldn’t figure out the purple-dressed girl’s situation.
Nor could he understand what was going on with this wave of romance fortune.
“Wait, I’ve read about a type of Gu in books before, called the Love Charm Gu.”
“This love gu is a pair of mother and child gu; the person possessing the mother gu can plant the child gu into someone else’s body, causing the victim to fall in love with them, forever unable to leave their side.”
“Could it be… this gu insect is the very love gu I once read about in ancient texts?”
“This woman in the purple dress wanted to cast a gu on me to make me fall in love with her, but due to the effect of the Peach Blossom Gu, I didn’t fall for her, and instead, she fell for me?”
Lu Changsheng looked at the blood-colored gu in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, giving rise to a speculation.
Although this speculation was too far-fetched.
In Lu Changsheng’s mind, it was the only possibility.
A possibility that could barely be justified.
Otherwise, he really couldn’t understand.
“If that’s really the case, isn’t it too far-fetched?”
Lu Changsheng couldn’t help shaking his head.
He sighed inwardly, thinking that if it were true, the Peach Blossom Gu’s fortune in love was way too domineering.
Wasn’t this just a forced gift?
He had never even met the person before.
And yet, out of the blue, here came a wave of peach blossom luck.
“But the love gu shouldn’t work like this, should it?”
“The love gu is divided into mother and child gu, with the host’s body containing the mother gu, and requiring the child gu to be implanted into the target’s body.”
“Only then will the target fall in love with the host, thus being inseparable for life.”
“This gu bit me, and under the will and pressure of the Peach Blossom Gu, it immediately tried to escape, which clearly doesn’t align with the way the love gu is supposed to work.”
“Or could it be said that this is a gu similar to the love gu?”
Lu Changsheng looked at the blood-colored gu in his hand.
And felt it didn’t quite match the description of the love gu he had read about in his books.
“Forget it, too lazy to think about it.”
Lu Changsheng was too lazy to keep pondering over it.
He touched the wound on his neck.
It was just a small wound, already almost healed.
He thought this blood-colored gu was quite powerful.
One should know, he had cultivated the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, and his physical body was comparable to a magic artifact.
Yet this blood-colored gu managed to breach his defenses with just one bite.
“However, this Peach Blossom Gu is really something else, good as it is, but every time it’s a bit unfathomable.”
“Moreover, if not careful, it could easily turn into a disaster, becoming a peach blossom calamity.”
Lu Changsheng was somewhat weary of this inexplicable fortune in love.
Every time he encountered luck in love, it was accompanied by incidents.
Especially the first time, he was directly presented with a Golden Core Lady.
If there had been a slight mishap, it would have turned into a peach blossom calamity.
But to give up the Peach Blossom Gu? He was also reluctant to let go.
“At least the benefits of having the Peach Blossom Gu outweigh the disadvantages. Not only do I gain more luck in love, but I’m also immune to the effects of most gu insects.”
“Otherwise, like in this situation, I would have been in danger.”
“Falling head over heels in love with someone because of a love gu, wouldn’t that just ruin me?”
Lu Changsheng muttered to himself.
“Sigh, cultivators have a thousand and one tricks, truly leaving one unable to guard against them.”
“I need to be more careful in the future, stay vigilant. Although private fights are forbidden in the marketplace, that doesn’t mean there are no dangers.”
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
Reflecting on the recent events, he acknowledged that he had indeed been lacking caution, which resulted in a passive situation.
“But now, what should I do with this thing?”
Lu Changsheng looked at the blood-colored gu in his hand.
Suddenly pondering how to deal with the gu insect.
