Chapter 240: 240
"What?"
Qin Yu's eyes widened, glaring at Miao Xian'er with a hint of anger, "The Love Gu was developed by you, and there's no way to solve it?"
"Yeah, there is no cure for the Love Gu!"
Miao Xian'er once again spoke with certainty, "The Love Gu was created to make the beloved devoted to oneself, so there is no antidote!"
"I freakin'..."
At this moment, Qin Yu felt like killing someone.
He had gone through all the trouble to capture Miao Xian'er, even going as far as to repay her ingratitude with kindness, planning to cure her headache, and now she tells him there's no solution for the Love Gu?
"Hey, why do you have no patience at all? I just said there's no antidote for the Love Gu, I didn't say I can't help your sister fall in love with someone else!"
Miao Xian'er retorted with a roll of her eyes.
"Uh... fall in love with someone else? What do you mean?"
Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled by Miao Xian'er's words.
"What I mean is, while the Love Gu can't be cured, it can be transferred. For example, if Liu Yupan got the Love Gu from me and put it on your sister, your sister would fall in love with him.
If I were to transfer the Love Gu from Liu Yupan to another man, your sister would fall in love with someone else.
If she has a boyfriend or someone she likes, just transfer it there, and that would settle it.
The Love Gu itself isn't terrifying; what's terrifying is falling in love with someone you shouldn't!"
Miao Xian'er explained in detail, even adding a touch of philosophy with her last statement.
The scariest thing for a person is to fall in love with the wrong person...
"Ah? It can work like that! But,... I'm not quite sure who my sister likes!"
Qin Yu finally turned his worries to joy. If he could transfer the Love Gu to a man his sister likes, then mutual affection would indeed be the perfect solution.
"Where is your sister? Bring her here, and I will naturally have a way to find out who she likes!"
Miao Xian'er said with conviction.
"She's in the suburbs, but her mental state is not good. Let me make a phone call!"
Qin Yu said, then dialed Old Master Yan's number and asked him to send a couple of people to bring his sister to the company.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Yu seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, Miss Xian'er, with your status and position, you shouldn't be short of money, right? Why help that trash Liu Yupan do things, did he give you a lot of money?"
"Of course, who in the world can buy me off?"
Miao Xian'er's face showed a smug expression, and after a pause, she continued, "It's just that I fancied a wild ginseng that's a family heirloom of his; it's helpful for my headache, so I promised to do him a favor, that's all!"
"So that's how it is. You don't have to deal with him anymore, your headache is my responsibility now."
Qin Yu had been somewhat baffled about how Liu Yupan had managed to enlist powerful figures like Miao Xian'er and Ghost Granny.
It turned out they needed folk medicine for headaches.
"Now there's another problem. You said there is still a Love Gu on Liu Yupan, but he's abroad right now! If he knows we've reached a peace agreement, he definitely won't come back to the country!"
Qin Yu said with a frown.
"You can put the word out, just say that Ghost Granny and I have taken care of him, and Liu Yupan will certainly come rushing back!"
Miao Xian'er, sitting cross-legged, her fair legs swinging, suggested playfully.
"Miss Xian'er, you're really smart!"
Qin Yu gave a thumbs up, flattering her before adding, "But we'll need your cooperation with this, you can't give anything away!"
"Don't worry, as long as you can cure my headache for good, I can help you out with this," Miao Xian'er nodded and said.
"Alright, then let's go and discuss in detail how to trick Liu Yupan into returning to the country!"
After Qin Yu spoke, he prepared to open the door, but suddenly, he felt an unusual urge to kneel down and kiss Miao Xian'er's toes.
"You..."
Qin Yu instinctively turned his head and saw Miao Xian'er looking at him with an amused gaze.
"Slap yourself twice!"
"What?"
"Slap, slap!"
The expression on Qin Yu's face was one of surprise, but his hands moved swiftly, slapping his own cheeks without hesitation.
"Miss Xian'er, did you cast a Gu on me?"
Qin Yu also reacted, suddenly feeling both shocked and angry.
"Giggle... Yes, I cast the Obedient Gu on you. Whatever I tell you to do, you must do it! Who asked you to smack my butt? You definitely deserve a lesson!"
After stating this with pride, Miao Xian'er then comforted Qin Yu, "But don't worry, as long as you honestly cure my headache, I'll take back the Gu. Jianghu is a dangerous place. I must keep a trick up my sleeve. What if you can't really perform the Peach Blossom Nine Needles?"
"I..."
Qin Yu felt like crying but had no tears, never expecting to be outwitted by Miao Xian'er in the end, and couldn't help saying resentfully, "That's a villain's heart, judging the heart of a gentleman!"
"You're wrong. I'm not a villain; I'm a woman!"
Miao Xian'er puffed out her chest.
"That... once I cure your headache, you have to take back the Gu and can't trick me anymore!"
Qin Yu said with a helpless expression on his face.
"Rest assured, my word is as good as gold!"
Miao Xian'er said, tilting her chin up confidently.
"Alright... it's in the past now."
Since he couldn't resist, he had no choice but to comply. With a dark expression, Qin Yu opened the door and went into the hallway with Miao Xian'er.
"Hmm... how old are you, really? You seem like a child to me. Don't you need to go to college?"
Qin Yu scanned Miao Xian'er up and down, asking with some suspicion.
Looking at her figure, she might be fifteen or sixteen; looking at her face, maybe seventeen or eighteen.
"Nineteen, and I'll be twenty after the New Year!"
Miao Xian'er didn't hide anything.
"Oh, not that young anymore, huh. But why so short?"
Qin Yu estimated Miao Xian'er's height; not even reaching one meter sixty, she seemed quite petite next to his own height of over one meter eighty.
"I... I want to grow taller too, but with these genes, what can I do? If you dare mention my height again, believe it or not, I'll cast a Gu that turns you into a dog, unable to speak human language, only able to bark all day!"
Miao Xian'er glared at Qin Yu, threatening him angrily.
"Err... I was wrong!"
Qin Yu immediately conceded with a submissive look.
This little loli's way of casting Gu was unpredictable; one must never offend her.
"Hmph..."
Miao Xian'er snorted arrogantly and then, with hands clasped behind her back, walked into the adjacent office.
"Qin Yu!"
Yan Mingyu and Lu Wenrou both turned to look at Qin Yu.
"I've made an agreement with Miss Xian'er; from now on, we'll stay out of each other's way."
Qin Yu shrugged, too embarrassed to admit that he had fallen for her scheme and got hit by some "Obedient Gu."
"Phew... That's good then!"
Yan Mingyu and Lu Wenrou both relaxed at the same time.
With Miao Xian'er's background, they did not want to offend her unless absolutely necessary.
"Ghost Granny, hurry up and release her!"
Miao Xian'er sat down on the sofa with a plop, took out a lollipop, unwrapped it, and started chewing it.
"She's behind the tea table. I'll free her!"
Lu Wenrou went behind the tea table, picked up the Ghost Granny—who had her eyes wide open like she was about to devour someone—and untied her hands and feet.
"Ghost Granny, he can cure my headache. From now on, we'll cancel all our scores with them!"
Miao Xian'er pointed at Qin Yu.
"... Yes, Miss!"
Ghost Granny looked deeply at Qin Yu before nodding and moving back next to Miao Xian'er.
"Okay, let's talk about how to trick Liu Yupan into coming back to the country!"

Qin Yu also sat down and addressed everyone.
