Chapter 731: Who exactly are you?
The time required to refine the medicinal mud was not long, only about half an hour.
The golden bird also flew out, saying it was to gather some fresh news. Gu Heng looked at the steaming medicinal bath, picked up the girl, and carefully placed her into the tub.
He wasn't sure if it would work, but he felt it shouldn't be a big problem.
……
Two quarters of an hour passed.
The medicine was still warm, and the girl remained lying inside, motionless.
Gu Heng frowned.
"Could it be that the dosage is too low?" he muttered to himself, then added more hot water and medicinal paste. In any case, the medicinal paste he prepared himself was very mild, so adding a little more wouldn't matter.
Just then, the golden bird flew back from outside, and as soon as it returned, it opened its mouth wide.
"Mr. Gu, it seems something serious has happened outside!"
"How to say?"
"I heard that the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor is dead, and the one who has succeeded her as the Lord of the Scorching Sun Demon Domain is her Grand Steward Zi Yuan. That guy seems to have gained the favor of the Most Demonic Tower and has directly broken through to the Demon Emperor level!"
It kept flapping its wings.
"Dead?" Gu Heng raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, it's said that she openly defied the Demon Lord's Tower and was personally dealt with by him..."
The fact that the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor, one of the Five Emperors, would choose to betray the Most Demonic Tower was actually too significant for the Golden Bird, which is why it was so eager to fly back and report to Gu Heng.
Although it was just a bird guarding the garden, it had seen the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor quite a few times and knew a little about that woman.
Why is this so?
In any case, this might be a good thing, since it and Mr. Gu are now in the same boat. If the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor hadn't died, they would actually have had an extra problem.
As for why she betrayed him, or if there was some other hidden reason behind it, Jin Niao didn't care anymore.
Do you know why she betrayed him?
Gu Heng, however, began to take an interest.
"This... Mr. Gu, the reason she betrayed the Most Demonic Tower is definitely a secret that can't be touched. I don't know either!"
The golden bird quickly shook its head and wagged its tail, looking terrified.
"Heh~"
Gu Heng smiled, but he already had an idea in mind. "What do you think the Blazing Sun Demon Emperor is going to discuss at this time, at the most demonic tower?"
"That's of course about going to war with the Immortal Realm. It's caused quite a stir. Plus, a few days ago, a Demon Realm lord and his main city were destroyed. Logically, that's the only explanation."
"But what if... the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor opposes going to war?"
After Gu Heng finished speaking, even the golden bird felt that it was too outrageous. The stronger one's strength, the more one understands why the Demon Tower is not to be defied. The Scorching Sun Demon Emperor may be a cold and strange woman, but she is definitely not stupid.
But the golden bird seemed to have also keenly caught Gu Heng's unspoken meaning, and whispered, "Mr. Gu, what do you know?"
"It's just a guess, but I reckon the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor has already figured it out, just like the Desert Python Immortal Emperor back then... Perhaps she already knows that this is a complete deception." Gu Heng crossed his arms and sat down next to the bathtub.
He found himself getting closer and closer to the "truth," and he wasn't the only one who noticed something amiss and discovered the lie.
The ancestor of the Desert Python Immortal, the Desert Python Immortal Emperor, is one of them.
Now, perhaps the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor could also be considered one.
However, Gu Heng is not quite sure what the "truth" is yet, but he can only say that it is inextricably linked to the fragments of the world.
Regardless, he didn't care about anything else right now; at the moment, saving the girl's life was the most important thing.
"A scam? What are you talking about?"
The golden bird was completely bewildered.
"It's nothing, just consider it me rambling."
Gu Heng stared at the white-haired girl in the bathtub, wondering how long it would take for her to wake up.
Wait, she doesn't even have any clothes on her body, I have to go and buy her some.
Otherwise, she can't just come out wrapped in a towel, can she?
"You stay here and watch over things, I'm going out to buy something."
Gu Heng went out, while the golden bird stood there.
As soon as the people left, it flew to the edge of the bathtub and stood there.
"This potion is extraordinary!"
The golden bird looked at the medicinal soup in the bathtub, feeling the energy contained in the herbs, and narrowed its small, beady eyes.
It didn't recognize any rare and precious herbs; it only relied on smell to determine their value. Its assessment of the medicinal water in the bath was that it was absolutely top-notch!
If Gu Heng hadn't been right next to it, and it was afraid it would be slapped to death if it flew over, the golden bird would have come over long ago.
"Chirp~" It tried to dip its wing in the medicine and put it in its mouth to taste it.
strictly speaking.
This was the white-haired little girl's bathwater, but the golden bird couldn't resist any longer. The "smell" emanating from the medicinal bath intoxicated it, and it really couldn't resist trying it.
"Wow~ That's powerful!"
The golden bird felt the immense medicinal power instantly spread throughout its body, and even a faint coolness permeated out, making it feel completely comfortable.
For some reason, the golden bird had a strange feeling that drinking this medicinal bath would greatly enhance its strength.
But here is the problem.
Regardless of the fact that Mr. Gu actually refined such a powerful elixir right in front of it, even a great demon like it felt that the medicinal power was too strong and too potent. Why could this little girl soak in it like that and not feel anything at all? Logically speaking, such a fragile body should not be able to withstand such medicinal power.
However, she only seemed to appear fragile.
A faint but incredibly tenacious life force began to gather again within her...
"who are you?"
The golden bird stared at her small face above the water and murmured to itself.
However, after staring at it for a while, it realized that although the face looked a bit young, it had a sense of familiarity.
She bears a resemblance to the Blazing Sun Demon Emperor...
However, as a demon beast, he could sense the girl's identity by her aura, but there was no trace of the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor's aura on her.
What exactly is going on?
