Chapter 181: Wu Gu's Rules (2)
Since Lu Heng had guessed that the other person might have a request for him, he decided to get straight to the point and speak up.
Anyway, Wu Gu must have heard the human-faced owl talk about Huo Feng's situation. Now that everyone is speaking openly, it actually saves time on beating around the bush.
After Lu Heng finished speaking, Wu Gu didn't pretend to not understand and smiled, saying "Sure, sure… and Wolf God, come with me, we'll have a detailed discussion inside."
And so, they set foot on the path in the midst of the sea of red flowers, heading towards the bamboo garden ahead.
After surveying the surroundings, Lu Heng became somewhat curious.
Because he could tell that these blooming flowers were actually Mandala flowers, not mere common imitations.
However, within this garden, there was no gloomy or lifeless atmosphere…
Lu Heng asked in surprise, "Was this sea of Mandala flowers cultivated by you?"
Wu Gu smiled and said, "It's not a matter of cultivation, just a happy accident."
Wu Gu said, "A young lady came to me with a strange illness. She had been relying on expensive medicinal herbs since childhood to sustain her life. When she was seventeen years old, she almost died and her mother brought her to me, begging me to cure her."
"But at that time, the little girl was already critically ill, with her life force fading, and even I could not think of any way to help her."
"To save her life, I refined the water from the secluded springs using ancient methods in the Youtian Valley. I purified the Dark Spring Water and removed the evil death qi, transforming it into the Refreshing Bones Water mentioned in 'Records of the Four Directions'."

"As for the blooming of Mandala flowers in this place, it occurs naturally after the dumping of abandoned medicinal residues. Originally, this area was a vast bamboo sea, but unfortunately, after the Mandala flowers bloomed, everything withered away, leaving behind only this sea of Mandala flowers."
Wu Gu explained with a smile that she had already led everyone into the Bamboo Garden.
The little fox, with her pointed fox ears, followed her timidly as Wu Gu refrained from introducing her, leaving Lu Heng and the others without inquiry.
Upon entering the Bamboo Garden, Wu Gu didn't linger but promptly led Lu Heng to the backyard, where he beheld a collection of transparent vessels containing the body parts of the young maiden, each set apart in its own container.
Upon catching a glimpse of the jars and bottles brimming with peculiar body parts, Little Gu Eagle let out a dreadful scream and hastily took refuge behind Xiao Ai.
Lu Heng looked in amazement at the scene before him. Then he saw, at the very center of the jar, the smiling head of a young girl looking back at him.
"My name is Yu Ren Ya. The Wolf God, nice to meet you."
A head, immersed in a liquid similar to formaldehyde, spoke to him…
Lu Heng, who once applied for medical school in his past life, twitched his lips, recalling some of the horror stories he heard.
The scene before his eyes has such a strong sense of deja vu.
He gave a bitter smile and sighed, saying, "Witch Wu Gu, is this your patient? It might not be appropriate to take us to meet her directly… She is just a young girl, but we have already seen all of her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys."
Lu Heng said.
However, apart from the internal organs, those body trunks immersed in the jars were tightly wrapped in gauze, with even the fingers carefully enveloped, leaving no inch of skin exposed.
Lu Heng was reminding Wu Gu that such behavior seemed to violate the privacy of the patients.
But neither Wu Gu nor the little girl inside the bottle cared about this matter.
Wu Gu said, "It's alright. In the presence of the Wolf God, there is no need to conceal anything. When I first saw the Wolf God, I knew immediately that your character was straightforward. Therefore, let's not waste any time beating around the bush."
While speaking, Wu Gu looked towards Huo Feng who was standing behind Lu Heng.
"You came to me, no doubt wanting me to heal the young man from the Yun sect."
"And I am waiting here for you with a request of my own. So, let us begin our conversation."
Wu Gu smiled and said, "I require you to attend the Treasure Conference in the Mermaid Kingdom and procure a precious treasure so that I may cure the young girl, Ya'er."
"As a return gift, I am willing to take action to save this young man of the Yun Sect… But since the Wolf God has come, I presume you also understand my rules regarding saving people."
Wu Gu asked with a smile.
Lu Heng hesitated for a moment and looked at Huo Feng beside him, "Is there any protocol for Witch Wu Gu's rescue operation?"
"Um…well…I'm not sure about that," Huo Feng scratched his head and said.
He had only heard of the ten witches of the Spirit Mountain's unrivaled medical skills, but as for Wu Gu's rules for saving lives… he truly didn't know.
Lu Heng couldn't help but sigh when he saw Huo Feng's bewildered expression.
Later, he looked towards Wu Gu and said, "We are ashamed to say that we don't know your rules… Please, we ask for your guidance."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Lu Heng inquired, he thought in his heart… could this Wu Gu have some quirk?
He was worried.
What if I can't complete it myself?
Wu Gu was astonished as she gazed at the white wolf before her, somewhat unexpected.
Then, she said with a smile.
"It's actually very simple. I only save women and never save men."
"Therefore, as a woman of integrity, I can't break my rules. As long as this young man of the Yun sect eats my Yin Yang Pill and transforms into a woman, I can save him. The Wolf God, can you accept this proposal?"
Wu Gu's words made Lu Heng breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, it's not asking him to kill someone, but just to let Huo Feng become a woman… um…
Lu Heng was startled for a moment as he looked at Huo Feng's face that turned pale, but soon he realized what had happened.
Suddenly, he was also speechless.
Sex… reassignment?!
He looked at Wu Gu in a strange way and said, "Are you sure you want him to become a woman?"
Wu Gu nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, but the Yin Yang Pill's efficacy is limited. After taking it, the female body can only maintain its form for three years. After three years, it will return to its original state… Alas, what a pity."
In Lu Heng and the others' strange gaze, Wu Gu sized up Huo Feng and let out a regretful sigh.
"This young man from the Yun sect has good potential. If he were to become a woman, surely he would be an incredibly beautiful lady… Alas, what a pity…"
Wu Gu sighed and shook her head incessantly with an expression of unparalleled regret, causing Huo Feng to retreat repeatedly with a pallid countenance.
This woman…something's off about her!
