Chapter 411: Chapter 411 Choices
"Kid, since you saved my granddaughter and got ensnared by her Love Gu, this can be considered a predestined calamity! So hereās what Iāll do, Iāll give you a choice. How about that?" the Gu King said coldly.
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment: "A choice? What choice?"
"Hmph, the Love Gu from my granddaughter is on you, which means you are fated to be together! So, if you choose to be with my granddaughter, I can take you back to Miao Territory and make you another Gu King! But if you come with me, I can only kill you now while the Love Gu hasnāt taken full root!"
"Elder Miao, that seems rather unfair of you!" Before Ling Feng could reply, the Dragon King spoke with displeasure, "Iāve said it before, Ling Feng is my daughterās boyfriend. Are you suggesting that Ling Feng should abandon my daughter?"
"Itās just a boyfriend, not a husband," the Gu King said, "And Iām being merciful enough as is. Donāt push me! Besides, Iāve already given Ling Feng the right to choose, havenāt I?"
Miao Yuting spoke with trepidation: "Grandfather, I..."
"Silence!" the Gu King said coldly, "If you hadnāt acted rashly, none of this wouldāve happened. Just wait and see how Iāll deal with you when we get back!"
Ling Feng sighed inwardly. What kind of choice was this? Of course, he wasnāt about to abandon Liu Tingyu.
"Iām sorry, Elder Miao!" Ling Feng said calmly, "Itās impossible for me to give up my current girlfriend! I also apologize for the ordeal with the Love Gu, but... if you intend to threaten me with life and death, I will not yield!"
The Gu King narrowed his eyes, "I know you have an S-level strength, but I can tell you with certainty, even if the Dragon King himself intervened, he couldnāt stop me from killing you! Do you understand what it means to be the Gu King of Miao Territory?"
The Gu King wasnāt boasting. Gu Technique, as one of the worldās most mysterious inheritances, contains many secrets unknown to others! Gu Technique often kills without leaving any trace.
Unexpectedly, Ling Feng shook his head, "Elder Miao, you misunderstand. I wonāt abandon my girlfriend because we love each other! But if you still want to kill me, I wonāt resist... Elder Miao, do you remember the Huaxia young man you saved in the Amazon Forest three years ago?"
The Gu King was startled and looked at Ling Feng with surprise and doubt, "You... you canāt be that youth who was afflicted with a rare poison, can you?"
"Itās me!" Ling Feng nodded, "If Elder Miao hadnāt saved me back then, I, Ling Feng, wouldāve died three years ago! So, this life of mine is one you gave me. Even if you take it now, I have no complaints!"
At this point, the anger on the Gu Kingās face dissipated a lot, and he sighed, "I would never have thought that young man from back then was you. Could this all really be destiny? Ah, let it be, let it be!"
The Dragon King and Miao Yuting were puzzled; why did the Gu King soften his stance so suddenly when Ling Feng brought up the matter from three years ago? What exactly had happened?
Seeing the Dragon Kingās confused expression, the Gu King volunteered, "Three years ago, in search of a certain poisonous insect, I ventured alone into the Amazon Forest. Thatās when I encountered Ling Feng. He was being pursued by a group of mysterious men, and although he managed to kill those men, he was gravely injured. He was also bitten by several poisonous insects and lying on the ground barely alive. I happened upon him and decided to save him due to the principle that heaven favors life."
As the Gu King spoke, a flash of admiration appeared in his eyes. At that time, Ling Fengās life had been hanging by a thread. To save Ling Feng, the Gu King used the method of fighting poison with poison, employing the principle of mutual generation and inhibition among various poisonous insects to inject Ling Fengās body with more than a dozen toxins!
Every kind of poison was fatally dangerous and accompanied by unbearable pain!
But for a full half month, Ling Feng clenched his teeth in silence, hovering between life and death numerous times. Finally, after more than half a month, the poison in his body gradually faded, and his health was completely restored!
During this process, Elder Miao witnessed what was called true grit and toughness! This also filled Elder Miaoās heart with a favorable impression of Ling Feng!
"But if I remember correctly, your body..." Elder Miao hesitated before asking.
It was then that Elder Miao told Ling Feng that his vitality had been overdrawn, leaving him with less than ten years to live! This was also why Ling Feng had launched the Divine Gate before time!
Ling Feng sighed and said, "Elder Miao, I am very aware of my bodyās condition, and thatās why I hope to get rid of the Love Gu as soon as possible!"
Miao Lin gave a bitter smile and glanced at Miao Yuting helplessly, "Thereās no way, the Love Gu is the most faithful symbol of the Miao shaman girls! Once planted in a manās body, it means entrusting oneās life and future into the hands of that man! Itās irreversible. Actually, when I said that earlier, there was only a one percent hope at best!"

"Furthermore..." As he said this, Elder Miao glared fiercely at Miao Yuting, "To break the shaman girls of the Miao ethnic group from this destiny, I once modified the Love Gu. Once the Love Gu survives for twenty years inside a woman, it will gradually eliminate some of its original drawbacks. This is also why I warned Tingting not to plant the Love Gu in anyone before she turns twenty, but now..."
Miao Yuting blinked her eyes with a wronged expression. You should have told me about this sooner!
"So what happens now?" The Dragon King couldnāt help asking, "Iām really curious about what kind of change has happened that has caused the always composed Elder Miao to lose his composure!"
Elder Miao looked at the Dragon King with displeasure and then explained, "The Love Gu has been planted before it fully evolved! Not only does it not have the function of dying together or loving each other for a lifetime, but itās actually a shackle for the woman!"
Speaking of which, Elder Miao looked at Ling Feng, "In the days to come, Tingting will fall madly in love with you! But you are not influenced by the Love Gu! Because right now, the Love Guās effect is only active on the female side, do you understand what I mean?"
Ling Fengās eyes widened, "You canāt be serious! Elder Miao, you mean... Iām not affected by the Love Gu, but Tingting will be influenced by it?"
Elder Miao nodded helplessly, "Thatās right, now you understand why Iām so angry? Once the Love Gu takes full effect, just one thought from you could make Tingting go crazy for you! Even if it means opposing the whole world, she would not hesitate! Thatās what I cannot tolerate!"
Hiss! Both Ling Feng and the Dragon King couldnāt help but take in a sharp breath, thatās a bit terrifying!
Only Miao Yuting looked at her grandfather with a confused face.
"Elder Miao, is there really no other way?" Ling Feng couldnāt help asking.
"The Love Gu is driven by emotions, unless itās a Stone Man who has severed all emotions and desires, otherwise, thereās no other way!"
