Evil Prince, Come Play With Me

Chapter 601 Treat Her Or Not?

Having seen Yin Neng, however, Gu Bailu didn’t find her frightening at all.

“Where’s the patient?” The old lady raised her head, and with a shock, Gu Bailu realized the woman had no eyeballs in her eye sockets.

Dear god... How horrifying.

Gu Bailu calmed down, took off the Soul Collecting Bracelet, and released Qian’er so that she was lying on the only long bench in the room. “Here’s the patient. Please take a look at her.”

The old lady snorted. “You have a bracelet that can lock up souls but you can’t save a baby?”

Gu Bailu was quite surprised. This old lady didn’t have eyes; how did she know how Qian’er had been let out?

Did she have the Heavenly Eye as well?

The old lady came over and touched Qian’er with a hand that was like withered wood. “The baby is dying, but I can save it, as long as you give me this woman’s eyes.”

Gu Bailu was stunned for a moment. “No, not her eyes. How about something else? Gold, silver, jewelry, or elixirs, I’ll get you anything you want...”

“You want to save the baby but won’t give up eyes for it? Get lost.”

The old lady pulled a long face and returned to the furnace, no longer paying attention to Gu Bailu..

Gu Bailu was annoyed. She could see that this witch had a cure, but the witch wanted Qian’er’s eyes.

How would Qian’er be able to live in the future?

That would be too cruel to her.

“Master...” A gentle hand grabbed Gu Bailu. She turned to discover that Qian’er had woken up. Her face was extremely pale, but she said firmly, “Master, I’m okay with that...”

“No... I’ll see what else I can do. How can you live without your eyes?” Gu Bailu immediately retorted.

“I know I won’t be able to raise the baby well in the future, but I still have you, master...”

“No, just let me think for a moment.” Gu Bailu really didn’t want Qian’er to lose her eyes, which would be too cruel.

There had to be another way. There had to be.

“The baby can live for a quarter of an hour at most,” the old lady said darkly to one side.

She lifted the lid of the boiling pot of herbs. “This pot is for her. If you don’t want to treat her, I’ll pour it out.”

She picked up the pot, utterly heedless of the scalding heat, and was about to pour it into a basin of purple poisonous water nearby.

“Wait!” Gu Bailu shouted anxiously. “Let me think. Let me think for a moment...”

Was there any other way? No, she had to think of another way.

“Grandma, will you really not accept anything else?” Gu Bailu paced back and forth anxiously. If the baby died, she could stop its soul from being collected by the envoys of hell, but the baby would be a wandering ghost forever.

Did Qian’er have to spend the rest of her life with an intangible child?

“No, I’m here precisely because I want a pair of eyes.” The old lady turned her down and left no room for negotiation.

Gu Bailu begged, “If you want eyes, you can have her stay with you after she recovers. She can be your eyes...”

The old lady chuckled mockingly. “Someone said the exact same thing once, but they tried to escape, so I poisoned them.”

“No... she definitely won’t.”

“Cut the crap. Do you want to treat her or not?” the old lady held the pot over the basin and asked impatiently.

She was in a good mood today, and her terms were already pretty good; she had only asked for the girl’s eyes when usually, she would ask for a lot more.

Yet, this person still dared to haggle with her.
