My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife-Chapter 333 Rival in Love

"You bastard, do you have any idea how many years I’ve liked Xian’er?"

The youth in black glared with fury, taking a quick step to reach Qin Yu before throwing a punch hard into Qin Yu’s stomach.

Thud...

Qin Yu took the punch solidly.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought of dodging, but his body seemed to be under a paralysis spell, completely unable to move out of the way.

"Did you use a Gu technique on me?"

This was the only possibility Qin Yu could think of. He must have been stealthily enchanted by the youth in black, which was why he couldn’t dodge the punch.

"This is just a warning. After you go up the mountain and see Xian’er, get the hell out of here immediately!"

The youth in black stared at Qin Yu intently as he spoke.

If it weren’t for Ghost Granny knowing of Qin Yu’s arrival, he might have already used a Gu bug to turn this romantic rival into a corpse.

His name was Qi Wei, an unrequited suitor of Miao Xian’er.

He was also the son of another of the Gu King’s capable lieutenants, growing up with Miao Xian’er from childhood. He had assumed they were childhood sweethearts and was confident he could win Miao Xian’er’s heart.

However, to his dismay, Miao Xian’er had returned from East Sea to Miaojiang no longer a virgin. Added to that, Ghost Granny had asked him to personally receive Qin Yu, an outsider, leading him to surmise that it must have been this man who deflowered Xian’er.

Naturally, he was filled with hatred toward Qin Yu, even wishing he could kill him on the spot.

"I will stay here for a few days to try and help Xian’er wake up. After that, I will leave!"

Qin Yu rubbed his abdomen as he spoke.

This was their territory, and given the youth in black knew Gu techniques, Qin Yu really couldn’t afford to provoke him.

"Hmph, at least you’re sensible. If you dare to brazenly linger on Leigong Mountain, I will make your life a living hell!"

After giving a stern warning, Qi Wei turned and started walking towards the mountain.

Damn it, why have I been having such bad luck lately? Yesterday, I walked into the wrong room and ran into Pei Luoyan, that venomous spider. And today, I get punched by Miao Xian’er’s unrequited lover. Have I offended some deity above?

Depressed, Qin Yu followed behind Qi Wei for about forty minutes until a group of houses with distinctive Miaojiang characteristics came into view, surrounding a massive, round courtyard.

At the entrance stood two men with black cloth wrapped around their heads, curved knives hanging from their waists, appraising Qin Yu, the outsider.

Leigong Mountain was the Gu King’s stronghold, which hadn’t seen an outsider in many years.

"Qin Yu..."

At that moment, Ghost Granny emerged from the courtyard and addressed Qin Yu directly, "Come, I’ll take you to the young mistress!"

"Alright!"

Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling safer in Ghost Granny’s company, lest Xian’er’s unrequited lover try to trip him up again.

After passing through a corridor, they arrived at the entrance to a separate courtyard.

Ghost Granny opened the door, and after Qin Yu entered, she spoke softly, "The Gu King has been in a bad mood lately. I haven’t told him about your relationship with Xian’er, only that you two are friends. Otherwise, he might take his anger out on you!"

"Ghost Granny, thank you!"

Qin Yu was moved. Since he had saved Ghost Granny at Tiger Leaping Gorge last time, she had become much more amiable towards him.

"The young mistress is inside, go on in!"

Ghost Granny indicated towards the room lit with lamplight.

"Alright!"

Qin Yu ascended the steps to the partially open door, took a deep breath, then pushed the door open and walked in.

The room was spacious, with a wooden tea table and chairs that exuded an antique charm.

The air was filled with a faint, lingering fragrance.

Finally, what came into view was a large wooden bed with sheer curtains, behind which one could faintly see Miao Xian’er’s signature white hair gently spread across the pillow.

Her eyes were tightly closed, her complexion somewhat pale, covered with a blanket as if she was sleeping.

"Xian’er!"

Qin Yu lifted the sheer curtains and softly called out.

Though Qin Yu had no romantic feelings for Miao Xian’er, she was still a woman he had once been intimate with.

"..."

Miao Xian’er naturally wouldn’t respond.

Her delicate features, paired with her full head of white hair, made her look like a fairy tale princess cursed into a magical slumber.

"I’m here to see you!"

Qin Yu gently held Miao Xian’er’s somewhat cold little hand, which was fair and clean, with neatly trimmed nails, indicating that Ghost Granny had taken good care of her.

"Wu....."

As Qin Yu was talking to himself, the dull sound of a horn blared from outside.

"What is...."

Qin Yu furrowed his brows and stood up.

"Qin Yu, protect the miss for a bit, I’m going to see Gu King!"

Ghost Granny said from the doorway and then her figure disappeared.

Could something have happened?

Qin Yu stepped out of the room, his eyes darting around before he took a few steps back, then with a running start, he kicked off the wall and flipped onto the roof.

He could easily take in the panoramic view of the entire mountain.

"Wu....."

The muffled sound of the horn continued.

Then, a multitude of torches were lit, and a group of men and women dressed in Miaojiang attire took up torches and headed toward the back mountain.

From this distance, Qin Yu couldn’t make out who the Gu King was, but each person was armed, suggesting that this was no trivial matter.

Keeping Ghost Granny’s words in mind, Qin Yu watched for a moment before jumping down from the rooftop and returning to Miao Xian’er’s room.

If a real crisis were to occur, he resolved to ensure Miao Xian’er’s safety and not let the young girl come to harm again.

He didn’t know how much time had passed, but Ghost Granny and the others still hadn’t returned.

So, Qin Yu took out his grandfather’s medical journal from his bag and began to study it, hoping to find a way to wake Miao Xian’er.

The night passed without incident.

Just before dawn, the sound of messy footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

Qin Yu closed the journal, pushed open the door, and saw Ghost Granny, bloodstained and staggering, entering the courtyard.

"Ghost Granny, what’s... what happened to you?"

Qin Yu quickly went to support Ghost Granny.

"Last night we had a fight with the Xiangxi Corpse-Driving Clan and drove them off!"

Ghost Granny said.

"The Xiangxi Corpse-Driving Clan has such gall, daring to come to Leigong Mountain, this is your stronghold, isn’t it?"

Qin Yu asked, puzzled.

"Actually, the Xiangxi Corpse-Driving Clan and our Miaojiang Gu Clan used to be one family. After splitting up, we developed separately, but in the struggle for control over Leigong Mountain, we’ve been fighting on and off for over a thousand years, without a clear winner!"

Ghost Granny explained.

"Oh, I see. It’s like the Xiangxi Corpse-Driving Clan and your Miaojiang Gu Clan are two princes fighting for the right to the throne, and these years they’ve been constantly warring over it, right?"

Qin Yu was somewhat surprised to find out that the Xiangxi Corpse-Driving Clan and the Miaojiang Gu Clan were originally the same family.

"It’s roughly like that, whoever controls Leigong Mountain can call upon over four million Miao people!"

Ghost Granny nodded as she spoke.

"Uh... over four million Miao people... That’s indeed a terrifying force!"

Qin Yu inwardly clicked his tongue. The people of Miaojiang all knew how to use Gu; several millions of them, in fact. Who wouldn’t want to control that power?

No wonder the Xiangxi Corpse-Driving Clan and the Miaojiang Gu Clan had been locked in conflict for a thousand years.

"Let’s not talk about our affairs now. How is the young lady? Your medical skills are quite impressive. Can you wake her up?"

Ghost Granny fixed her gaze on Qin Yu as she asked.
