Witch Doctors of the Southern Border

"It's alright, it won't stop you from cooking. You cook, and I'll have a taste."

Gu Wanning: "..."

Princess, do you know how to write the word "see outside"?

Could you please be a little more polite?

However, she couldn't shake off this persistent pest, so Gu Wanning had no choice but to go out with her.

"There's something I want to ask you," Yiling said, skipping and hopping along the road.

Gu Wanning: "Don't try to trick me, I'm not telling you."

No need to ask.

Yiling acted as if she hadn't heard her, and not only spoke, but also made a shocking statement, "Um, is Xu Weibei really impotent?"

Gu Wanning: "!"

Chapter 267 Southern Border Witch Doctor

Whether my man is capable or not, is that something you should be concerned about?

Gu Wanning glanced at her sideways, "What, are you trying to steal my man?"

You're worrying a bit too much!

As she spoke, she even made a throat-slitting gesture as a threat.

Yiling rolled her eyes at him. "If I really tried to take it from you, what would be left for you? I've already said I don't care for men who hit women. He just doesn't hit you now, but that doesn't mean he won't in the future. Men's inherent flaws are hard to change."

Gu Wanning: "What do you mean you're going to steal it? What's the matter? Am I not as good-looking as you?"

"What's the use of being pretty? Being naive!" Yiling said.

"You're a princess, and my father is the Chief Grand Secretary!"

Gu Wanning stated that women should not admit defeat.

"I'm not going to argue with you anymore, you wouldn't understand." Yiling said vaguely, "I'm just asking you, isn't that right?"

Gu Wanning: "I won't tell you."

"Then he really can't do it. Tsk tsk, looks so tall and strong, how come he can't do it? What a waste."

"Hey, you can talk about my man like that, or I'll get angry." Gu Wanning glared at her fiercely. "I'm serious."

"How can you be so stingy? I like you so much!" Yiling said angrily. "You only asked because you want to be nice to me, to see if you could help me, right? You're biting the Lü Dongbin, you don't appreciate a good intention! Humph!"

"No," Gu Wanning exclaimed in surprise, "You have Lü Dongbin there too?"

Wasn't Lü Dongbin a deity from the Central Plains?

How did it affect Southern Border?

Southern Border is geographically remote, and in the past it was not even connected to the Central Plains.

Later, the Central Plains and the Southern Border somehow got together, attacked from the north and south, and divided up the Shangyue Kingdom, which was sandwiched in the middle, and then they became neighbors.

However, the local customs and traditions of the two places should be completely different.

"Of course," Yiling said. "How come you know nothing? Back then, when the Central Plains and the Southern Border joined forces to destroy Shangyue, why did you..."

"Why?"

"Because a princess from the Southern Border married into the Central Plains, and a princess from the Central Plains married into the Southern Border, they became in-laws and started causing trouble together. Isn't it normal for the two countries to exchange goods?"

Gu Wanning: Such a large country, and they still have to arrange marriages!

This is a bad custom.

"Many of the seasonings you eat in the Central Plains came from our Southern Border!" Yiling snorted.

At this point, Gu Wanning became interested, "What other crops haven't you brought over yet? What kinds of grains, vegetables, and fruits do you have there?"

Occupational hazard, there's nothing I can do about it.

Yiling waved her hand. "If you're really interested in those things later, I'll find someone for you to ask. Don't ask me, I'm not interested. I'm here to talk to you about Xu Weibei. Do you even care about your man?"

Gu Wanning said quietly, "Of course I care, but I don't want other women to care about him."

"Even treating his illness won't work?"

"What's the meaning?"

"What I mean is, I want to help you find someone to take a look at Xu Weibei; maybe he can give you a normal man."

Looking for someone? Who?

"You don't even know this!" Yiling said with a hint of disdain. "Don't you know that our Southern Border's witch doctors are very famous?"

"Have no idea."

"Ignorant fool, humph!" Yiling began to boast, "In our Southern Border, there are four great families of shamanic healers: Bian, Yi, Su, and Ning. These four families are renowned for their medical skills, each with its own lineage, and they are all very powerful."

Side?

Gu Wanning thought of Physician Bian.

Xu Weibei seemed to have mentioned before that Doctor Physician Bian's hometown was on the southern border of Southern Border. Could it be that he was actually from Southern Border?

There are also rituals?

"Including the royal family?" Gu Wanning asked.

"Of course," Yiling said proudly. "Except for the Bian Family, the other three families have all been emperors."

"Huh?" Gu Wanning was stunned.

The emperor's throne rotates, maybe next year it'll be my turn?

Yiling told Gu Wanning that the emperors of Southern Border had changed many times, but they were all from these three major families, because these families had the most people in Southern Border.

Before the Yi Family, the world belonged to the Su family.

"The details are very complicated; I could talk about it for three days and three nights and still not finish. In short, we are all very skilled doctors."

"You're not going to volunteer yourself, are you?" Gu Wanning looked at her suspiciously.

"I don't know medicine, and I'm too lazy to learn it. Studying medicine is too tiring! I'm a princess now; I can just eat, drink, and have fun. Why would I need to learn anything!"

Looking at the self-righteous slacker, Gu Wanning silently told herself that she was not envious, she really wasn't envious.

"I'm talking about my brother," Yiling said. "My brother is a very skilled doctor."

"Your brother?"

Yiling confirmed that her brother's name was Yi Xiu.

Brother Yixiu!

The melody from her childhood immediately echoed in Gu Wanning's mind.

"My brother will inherit the Yi Family's medical skills in the future," Yiling said proudly.

"Didn't you say that in your Southern Border, the successor is selected based on merit?"

"Yes, my brother is the best. And studying medicine is tough; we all hope someone will step up and take on the responsibility, so that none of us will be assigned to study it—that would be terrible."

Gu Wanning: "... What are you studying?"

"I study witchcraft."
