"Yes!" Su Zhixiao immediately took out a elixir with a unique medicinal fragrance. It was the "Jade Liquid Pill" personally refined by Su Mu, capable of instantly restoring a large amount of true essence.
Qi is extremely precious; it was originally intended as a backup plan for her during her training.
"Using it on Mu'er isn't a waste." Gu Zhaorong swallowed the pill, her true energy quickly recovered, and she continued to channel it into Su Mu without hesitation.
After a long while, Su Mu slowly woke up, feeling light and energetic, with all five senses clear.
"Brother, you're awake!" Su Zhixiao rushed anxiously into his arms. "Aunt Gu, Aunt Gu, she..."
"What happened to Aunt Shun?!" Su Mu's heart tightened.
Aunt Ding is asleep.
Su Mu then noticed Gu Yangrong lying quietly beside her with her eyes closed, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"My brother absorbed a large amount of Aunt Gu's true energy on his own. She only managed to replenish it after taking the Jade Liquid Pill, and then fell asleep from exhaustion," Su Zhixiao explained in a low voice.
So that's how it is... He was the one who refined that Jade Liquid Pill, so its efficacy is crystal clear. It took him an entire pill to barely replenish his energy.
You can imagine how much Aunt Gu has sacrificed for Hai.
"Zhixiao, go and get some more pills from your martial aunts according to this list." Su Mu quickly wrote down a list, and Su Zhixiao immediately set off.
Go there.
Only he and Gu Zhaorong remained in the room. Su Mu sighed softly, looking down at the woman who had exhausted her true energy for him, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
She lay quietly on the willow branch, her dark hair spread across the pillow, highlighting the pallor of her once elegant and beautiful face, a sight that evoked pity. Fortunately, her sleeping face...
It was relatively peaceful and serene, her breathing was steady, and her full chest rose and fell slightly. Su Mu's gaze was soft, and his fingertips lightly brushed across her forehead.
"Hmm... Mu'er..." she murmured unconsciously in her sleep.
“Aunt Xiang, I’m here.” He immediately took her hand and whispered in her ear.
"Hmm," she seemed to hear, her lips curving slightly upwards, feeling much more at ease.
Su Mu gazed at the face that had selflessly given so much for him, his heart surging with emotion. He couldn't help but lean down and place a light kiss on her forehead.
"Um... Mu, Mu'er? What are you doing?" Qing Zhaorong woke up at this moment and was so embarrassed by what she saw that she tried to sit up.
"Aunt Gu, please get some rest." Su Mu gently pressed her down. "You didn't sleep all night, and then you used up so much of your energy for me. How can your body take it?"
Gu Zhaorong smiled gently: "Is Mu'er feeling sorry for her?"
"Yes, I feel sorry for you." He held her hands tightly, his gaze sincere. "So Aunt Gu, please don't push yourself like you did today."

"Actually, it's not that serious. Aunt Qing is at the peak of the Golden Core stage, so this little bit of exertion won't harm her." Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice gradually softened.
She said softly, "Aunt Gu promises you that she won't take such risks again and won't make you worry."
"Okay, I believe Aunt Gu." Su Mu pulled her into his arms. "But even if Aunt Gu wanted to, I wouldn't allow it. If Aunt Gu does it again, then I..."
I'll have to discipline you properly then.
Su Mu's assertiveness warmed Gu Zhaorong's heart, instantly making her weak and powerless. Her plump legs involuntarily clamped together, separating...
Even through the fabric, I could feel the subtle emotion welling up inside. I couldn't help but speak my true feelings:
"Alright... From now on, let Mu'er protect Aunt Gu, keep her by his side, and watch her closely..." Gu Zhaorong nestled in Su Mu's arms, momentarily forgetting...
She lost her shyness and let the melon cling tightly to Su Mu's body.
"Aunt Gu?! What did you mean by keeping her by your side?!" Su Zhixiao stood frozen at the door, holding the medicine, staring incredulously at the two embracing figures.
What made Gu Zhaorong's heart stop was that the door was already full of disciples who had rushed over after hearing the news—the whole scene had been seen.
"Aunt Gu, you..."
"Senior Sister"
The senior disciples were all dumbfounded and didn't know how to react.
I, Gu Zhaorong, have never been so embarrassed. My cheeks are flushed red, and I look helplessly at Su Mu, my eyes filled with pleading.
Su Mu returned a confident look, then looked up at the crowd at the door, a somewhat helpless smile on his face.
"Dear senior uncles and sisters, Aunt Gu just opened my acupoints, which exhausted her energy. My true qi is almost depleted, and I was so disoriented that I nearly fell. I..."
I just managed to catch her. Please excuse the mess.
He said sincerely, "This is also my fault for being too eager to cultivate, which is why Aunt Gu risked her life to help me."
The women keenly grasped the information conveyed in Su Mu's words.
"Mumu, you can cultivate now?"
"Really?! That's great!"
The good news temporarily diverted everyone's attention, and Gu Zhaorong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After exchanging a few words of advice, everyone gradually dispersed. Su Zhixiao stood at the door, her gaze shifting between Su Mu and Gu Zhaorong a few times before finally deciding to leave.
She pursed her lips and said softly, "Brother, I've left the pills here. Please take good care of Aunt Gu." Then, she considerately put the pills on them as well.
He closed the door.
The room finally returned to quiet.
Su Mu let out a long sigh of relief, then looked up at Gu Zhaorong, who was still burying her head in his arms like an ostrich, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Aunt Gu, everyone's gone."
Gu Zhaorong slowly raised her head, her cheeks still flushed, her eyes filled with embarrassment and lingering fear. She glared at him reproachfully, her voice soft and delicate.
Mosquito: "You...you sure know how to make things up."
"Otherwise, how can we help Aunt Gu out of this predicament?" Su Mu smiled, picked up the medicine bottle Su Zhixiao had given her, poured out a fragrant elixir, and handed it to Aunt Gu.
Zhao Rong said, “Come, Aunt Gu, take the pill first. It’s important to restore your true energy. Don’t damage your foundation.”
Gu Zhaorong obediently put the pill into her mouth. As the medicine dissolved, a warm and vast spiritual energy quickly filled her limbs and bones, replenishing what she had just experienced.
Consumption. She slowly circulated her inner energy, guiding the medicinal power. Her pale complexion visibly regained its color, though it was unclear whether the pill was taking effect.
It was because I accidentally licked Su Mu's finger earlier and felt embarrassed.
Su Mu waited quietly by her side until she finished regulating her breathing and her breath became long and steady again, only then did he truly feel at ease.
"Mu'er, Aunt Gu is alright now. Go and comfort Xiaoxiao; she must be feeling terrible." Gu Zhaorong's voice was anxious, her eyes filled with...
Full of guilt.
Su Mu had already spotted the figure standing by the lake outside the door, and gave her a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, Aunt Gu, I'll handle it."

Chapter Eight: My wife, I want both you and Aunt Gu!
Su Zhixiao's plain white dress fluttered gently in the cool evening breeze, outlining her slender yet slightly lonely figure.
She lowered her head slightly, her long, jet-black hair cascading down her shoulder, obscuring half her face, like a bird that had been soaked by the rain and was now hiding away to lick its wounds.
The wounded kitten has sheathed all its sharpness, leaving only a soft loneliness.
The moonlight streamed over her, yet seemed unable to penetrate her lowered eyes—those always clear and bright peach blossom eyes, which were now gazing at Lian.
The lake surface, rippling gently, was hazy and indistinct, losing its focus.
Su Mu walked gently towards Su Zhixiao and stood beside her.
"Is Brother Gu alright?" Although Su Zhixiao felt a pang of sadness, her first thought was still to ask about Gu Zhaorong.
"It's alright now. It's all thanks to Zhixiao's meticulous care while Aunt Gu and I were unconscious." Su Mu gently rubbed Su Zhixiao's head and smiled warmly.
"It's good that I can help my brother and Aunt Gu." Su Zhixiao smiled, but her feigned strength couldn't fool Su Mu.
He gazed at her, his voice earnest and low: "Zhixiao, I'm sorry. I'm not a man who is devoted to one person."
She was slightly taken aback, then heard him continue, his voice clear and firm: "I like you, and I also like Aunt Gu."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhixiao suddenly burst out laughing.
"Hehe~ I already knew that."
“It’s one thing for you to know, and it’s another for me to tell you on my own initiative,” Su Mu continued.
"It's understandable that Xiaoxiao is jealous and blames her brother; it's my responsibility. But I don't want you to let your feelings for me or Gu cause you to feel guilty."
She suppressed her own feelings because of her aunt's emotions, forcing herself to endure the bitterness in her heart.
Upon hearing this, Su Zhixiao paused slightly. "If it were any other woman, I would have definitely lost my temper on the spot! But Aunt Gu... her feelings for my brother, for..."
We are so wonderful.
She raised her eyes, her gaze seemingly piercing through the night, looking back to the time when she first arrived at the sect: "When I first came to the sect, my senior uncles and sisters hadn't yet..."
That familiarity stemmed from Aunt Gu's gentle acceptance of us, gradually introducing us to everything within the sect.
"Yes, after that, whether it was your cultivation or my idea of starting a business, Aunt Gu supported us without reservation." Su
Mu replied softly, her tone also tinged with emotion.
“So, I can understand why my brother likes Aunt Gu, and I’ve been aware of it for a while.” Su Zhixiao looked at Su Mu, and their eyes met.
Moonlight streamed into her clear eyes. Su Zhixiao gazed into Su Mu's eyes and asked softly, "Brother won't let Aunt Gu down, will he?"
"I will never let Aunt Gu down." He looked into her eyes, each word clear and firm, "and I will never let you down either."
"Then... what about my senior uncles and sisters?"
"I will never let them down."
"Brother really is a greedy person~" Su Zhixiao still felt a little bitter, but Su Mu's honesty made most of it disappear.
A smile returned to her face.
“That’s right, I want them all!” Su Mu laughed heartily, his eyes relaxed, open and bright, which made Su Zhixiao understand.
"Then Xiaoxiao will have to carefully select the best candidates for her brother." Su Zhixiao tiptoed, resting her head on Su Mu's shoulder, her voice soft and sweet, yet carrying a hint of...
A hint of arrogance lingered in her voice, "Not just any woman can enter our Su family."
"Okay." He suddenly reached out and swept her up in his arms. Su Zhixiao gasped and hurriedly wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Then I'll leave this task of dealing with jealousy to my wife," he whispered in Su Zhixiao's ear. "No matter how jealous my wife is, I'll make sure to coax her properly."
OK."
Su Zhixiao's cheeks flushed crimson when she was poisoned, and she even paused for a moment: "Brother... what did you just call me...?"
"Why, don't you want to?"
"How...how could this be?" She buried her burning face in his shoulder, her voice soft and sweet as honey, "...Husband."
Does this mean I'm secretly taking that woman's place?
A subtle sense of guilt swept through Su Zhixiao's heart, yet she was also overwhelmed by an indescribable feeling of excitement.
The time the three of them lived in the village was just like that of an ordinary family of three. So, in that sense, wasn't their daughter...
"That's good. It's getting late, my wife. We should go to bed now." Su Mu carried Su Zhixiao back into the house.
"Brother... keep your voice down," Su Zhixiao said hurriedly, her ears burning red. "Aunt Gu is still inside."
Upon entering the room, the bed was neat and tidy, but there was no sign of Gu Zhaorong.
"Don't you understand Aunt Gu's temperament?" Su Mu gently placed her back on the couch. "She must have been worried just now, keeping watch from the shadows."
Once we'd talked things out, we quietly left.
“That’s true…” Su Zhixiao wrapped her arms around Su Mu’s neck and chuckled, “After all, it’s not enough to just hug your brother in front of everyone, you even had to say…”
"If you want to keep it close, then you should definitely get away from it as soon as possible!"
"Oh, so you're already jealous? You even dare to tease Aunt Gu." Su Mu patted Su Zhixiao on the back: "Looks like I'll have to keep a close eye on things tonight."
Let me teach you.
