Chapter 238 Feng Baobao's Mother

"My...my mother? You know my mother?"

Hei Gu nodded: "Not only do I know her, she's also my sister."

"That means I'm your uncle."

Feng Baobao stared at the black Gu in shock, momentarily speechless.

Jiang Mo watched this scene quietly from the side without interrupting them.

"My mother...where is she?" Feng Baobao finally asked the question that was on her mind most.

Black Gu's eyes dimmed: "She...is gone."

Feng Baobao swayed slightly, as if she had suffered a great shock.

Jiang Mo quickly stepped forward and supported her shoulder.

"Twenty years ago, your mother left the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons and went to the human world."

Hei Gu recalled, "She fell in love with an ordinary man and insisted on being with him."

"But people with the Heavenly Gu Body will gradually lose their ability to control toxins when living in ordinary environments."

"If you don't periodically return to the source of all poisons to adjust, the toxins in your body will backfire."

Shortly after your birth, your mother's health began to deteriorate, and eventually...

Upon hearing this, Feng Baobao's eyes were already filled with tears.

"And what about my father?"

Hei Gu shook his head: "I don't know, your mother never mentioned it."

"You were found by the guards of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons. You were only a few days old when your mother left you at the valley entrance and then disappeared."

"I originally intended to bring you back to raise you, but later I found out that you had already been adopted by a family, so I didn't want to disturb your life."

Feng Baobao remained silent for a long time before softly asking, "So, I really am a Heavenly Gu Body?"

Black Gu nodded: "Yes, and even purer and more powerful than your mother."

"If you wish, you can become the new guardian of the Source of All Poisons and inherit everything here."

Feng Baobao looked at Jiang Mo, seemingly seeking advice.

Jiang Mo smiled slightly: "This is your choice, there's no need to rush."

"You can learn more before making a decision."

Hei Gu nodded: "Jiang Mo is right, you have enough time to consider."

"However, whatever decision you make, you need to learn to control your power."

"Without proper guidance, the Heavenly Gu Body can easily spiral out of control."

Feng Baobao wiped away her tears, her expression gradually returning to calm: "I understand, I will study hard."

Hei Gu nodded in satisfaction: "Jiang Mo, besides bringing Feng Baobao to see me, you must have come here for something else, right?"

Jiang Mo's expression turned serious: "The Helian family is attempting to awaken the remains of the Gu God."

"Although I stopped it, this shows that someone is beginning to notice the secret of the Gu God."

"If they discover the truth, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"However, as long as the remains of the Gu God remain dormant, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Jiang Mo shook his head: "No, the situation is worse than you think."

"According to my investigation, besides the Helian family, other forces are also searching for the traces of the Gu God."

"Moreover, the unusual activity has been becoming increasingly frequent lately, and I suspect..."

He paused, his gaze deepening: "Perhaps the Gu God is truly about to return."

These words caused Hei Gu's expression to change drastically: "Impossible! The Gu God has been dead for a thousand years, how could he possibly return?"

Jiang Mo pointed to the black lake: "Didn't you notice?"

"The power of the source of all poisons is gradually becoming active; this is a sign of the return of the Gu God."

After pondering for a moment, Hei Gu had to admit that Jiang Mo was right.

"Indeed, the lake water temperature has been rising recently, and the toxicity has become more concentrated."

"If what you say is true, then we must be prepared."

Jiang Mo nodded: "So I came here for two reasons: first, to help Feng Baobao acknowledge her ancestors, and second, to discuss countermeasures with you."

Hei Gu looked at Feng Baobao: "If the Gu God really wants to return."

"Then you, possessing the Heavenly Gu Body, will become the key."

"Me?" Feng Baobao asked in surprise, "What can I do?"

"The Heavenly Gu Body and the Gu God are inextricably linked."

Hei Gu explained, "In ancient prophecies, the return of the Gu God requires the guidance of the Heavenly Gu Body."

"This is both an honor and a danger."

Feng Baobao looked at Jiang Mo, seeking an explanation.

Jiang Mo pondered for a moment: "Simply put, there are two possibilities for the return of the Gu God."

"One option is a peaceful return, to become the master of all poisons in the world;"

"Another possibility is a return of tyranny, triggering a cataclysmic disaster."

"And the Heavenly Gu Body is the key to determining how the Gu God returns."

Feng Baobao stood by the black lake, gazing at the calm surface, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

In just one day, a corner of the mystery of her background was revealed, but it also brought more questions and responsibilities.

“Jiang Mo,” Feng Baobao turned to look at Jiang Mo, who was talking to the black Gu not far away.

"You seem to have known my identity all along?"

Jiang Mo walked over and nodded: "I have some guesses."

"The aura emanating from you is extremely similar to the source of all poisons, something impossible for an ordinary person."

"Furthermore, given your natural affinity for poisons and Gu worms, the possibility of you possessing a Heavenly Gu Body is very high."

"Then why didn't you tell me sooner?" Feng Baobao asked, somewhat displeased.

Jiang Mo smiled faintly: "So what if I know?"

"Coming to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons without preparation will only bring you danger."

"Besides, some things are more convincing when seen with one's own eyes."

Feng Baobao was speechless and could only nod silently.

Hei Gu approached, holding a small purple bottle: "This is the essence of the source of all poisons; it can help stabilize the toxins in your body."

"Take one drop every three days, and after a month, you will begin to have control over your power."

Feng Baobao took the small bottle and carefully put it away: "Thank you."

"When you're ready, you can come back anytime. I'll teach you more about the Heavenly Gu Body."

"Hei Gu said softly."

Jiang Mo and Feng Baobao bid farewell to the Black Gu and embarked on their journey back.

"Are you alright?" Jiang Mo asked softly, looking at Feng Baobao who was silent beside him.

Feng Baobao's eyes were somewhat unfocused. She gently shook her head, then nodded: "I don't know..."

Anyone needs time to process the truth about their origins and the responsibilities they bear.

The prophecy about the return of the Gu God, in particular, left Feng Baobao with mixed feelings.

“There’s no need to rush into a decision,” Jiang Mo said calmly. “Everyone has the right to choose their own path.”

Feng Baobao glanced at Jiang Mo, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes: "Brother Jiang Mo, who exactly are you?"

"The Black Gu calls you the successor of the Gu God... What does that mean?"

Jiang Mo smiled slightly: "This is a long story; I'll tell you another time."

"Now, we should go back. The others must be getting impatient."

Just as Jiang Mo said, when they returned to the entrance of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.

Zhang Chulan, Wei Duoduo, and Chen Duo were waiting anxiously.
