Ji Yianxue realized that if she kept pestering, Long Lan wouldn’t see her. She reluctantly ran back to Huang Xiaolong.
On the mountain, many villagers had come down and they quickly formed a crowd around Huang Xiaolong and the others, encircling them like stars around the moon.
“Little Long… Do you have a method?” Ji Yianxue looked at Huang Xiaolong, her eyes almost begging and sparkling with tears. “Do you not catch poisonous bugs? And you’ve caught such a powerful poisonous insect… You surely know the art of Gu too! Can you…can you help me? As long as you manage to cast a Gu spell on my mother, she’ll be able to break all her vows, recognize me, and return with me to see my dad… My dad, all these years, he has really, really missed my mom~~~”
As she spoke, Ji Yianxue actually started shaking Huang Xiaolong’s arm.
Tsk tsk, such a pitiful girl, could really melt a man’s heart.
At this moment, a young man let out a scoff. “If you’re relying on Gu to make Aunt Long Lan break her vows, I advise you to give up on that idea as soon as possible. Aunt Long Lan is the strongest Gu Master in our village history, when she was just a teenager, she kept the Golden Silkworm Gu. Not to mention you guys, even Gu Masters from the Miao borderlands wouldn’t succeed.”
Having spoken, the young man looked at Ji Yianxue, a mix of admiration and greed tainting his eyes as he eagerly said. “Beautiful lady, actually… if you want to reunite with Aunt Long Lan, you only need to stay in Long village… Our village is really great, with beautiful scenery, and the villagers are also very enthusiastic…”
“Um… thank you for your kindness.” Ji Yianxue politely replied.
“Heh heh heh… who exactly are you?” Huang Xiaolong sneered at the young man, thinking to himself, you little punk, dare to show off in front of me!
“I am the son of the village chief!” The young man proudly declared. “I am also a Gu Master!”
“Enough, quit showing off in front of me. Today, I’ll cast Gu on that Long Lan!” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “Let her see how awesome I am!”
“Pff~~~~ you? I’d say you look more like a Taoist. To be honest, I admire your exorcising and demon banishing skills. But when it comes to catching and raising Gu, aren’t you showing off your slight skill before an expert?” The young man sneered at Huang Xiaolong. He’d fallen for Ji Yianxue at first sight, but seeing how dependent she was on Huang Xiaolong, and their seemingly intimate relationship, he quickly developed hostility towards Huang Xiaolong.
“Heh heh~~ who has a Gu insect they can lend me?” Huang Xiaolong looked at the villagers who’d formed a crowd around them.
Earlier during the fight, these villagers had used all their Gu insects and poisonous insects, left with nothing. Now Huang Xiaolong was asking them for a Gu insect, and they could only stare at each other in dismay.
“Brother~~ I have a centipede Gu here, I raised it myself.” A lively little girl with dark eyes brought forth a tiny black jar and handed it to Huang Xiaolong.
“Heh~ thank you little sister.” Huang Xiaolong casually took the black jar.
“Young man, you better not mess around! This Gu is Little Cui’s pet… be careful not to get bit, the centipede Gu is a very powerful creature.” A villager hastily warned.
The village chief’s son merely scoffed and sneered.
Unconcerned, Huang Xiaolong chuckled, then walked over to a boulder and sat down, toying with the black jar in his hand.
Ji Yianxue, Xia Jian, and Ouyang Lingling quickly gathered around him.
Huang Xiaolong placed the black jar on the ground, and took out two blank spell papers from his bag. He took out a cinnabar brush and began drawing on the papers. “Raising Gu and casting Gu both require chanting or using talismans. There’s a saying that says raising Gu is easy but casting Gu is hard. Especially with someone as powerful as Long Lan, casting Gu on her is no simple feat. Casting Gu upfront is the simplest, but also the easiest to guard against.”
Having finished drawing, Huang Xiaolong picked up one of the talismans. “This talisman is for raising Gu. Since the centipede Gu belongs to that little girl, it doesn’t follow my command. When I burn this talisman, I will forcibly control the centipede Gu.”
With a flick of his hand, the talisman self-ignited and the black jar trembled lightly.
“Alright! Now, it’s time to cast Gu.” Huang Xiaolong said mysteriously with a smirk.
“Mr. Huang, from such a distance… Are you going to… Are you going to cast Gu on Lady Long Lan?” Xia Jian stared at Huang Xiaolong in disbelief.
“Of course not on Long Lan, but on—” As he spoke, Huang Xiaolong looked at Ji Yianxue with a strange gaze. “Listen, I can help you, but you’ll have to endure some pain. Are you willing?”
“As long as I can reunite with my mother, I… I’m willing to bear any hardship! I’m willing to endure any pain!” Ji Yianxue said determinedly.
“That’s good then.” Huang Xiaolong burnt another paper talisman. This one was for casting Gu.
The next second!
Whoosh~~~
The lid of the black jar was opened, a black light, akin to lightning, was shot into Ji Yianxue’s body!
“Ah!!!!!!” Ji Yianxue burst out in a scream, her face instantly turned pitch black. Beneath her skin, it seemed as if there were bugs squirming around – a shocking sight.
“Miss!!!!!!” Xia Jian and Ouyang Lingling screamed simultaneously, running chaotically to support the faltering Ji Yianxue.
“Take her to the ancestral temple and let Long Lan remove the bug poison.” Huang Xiaolong smiled. “The bug poison I infused her with is unique, your average person cannot remove it. Moreover, if it’s not removed within half an hour, Miss Ji is a goner.”
Xia Jian and Ouyang Lingling, faces pale with fright, hastily lifted the unconscious Ji Yianxue and ran towards the ancient temple on the mountain.
“Heh~~Off you go.” Huang Xiaolong casually brushed the ‘Yin Soul Wand’ without changing his expression.
His pet “Spider,” after consuming a large number of venomous insects and being nurtured with endless dark energy, had evolved into the “Spider Bug Poison”.
The Spider Bug Poison was almost transparent and moved with lightning speed.
Whizz~~~~~
The Bug Poison turned into an airstream, in an instant, it disappeared into Ji Yianxue’s body.
…
Up on the mountain. Inside the ancestral temple.
“Make way! Make way! The Miss has been poisoned! The Miss has been poisoned!” Xia Jian screamed while clearing a path through the crowd of villagers outside the temple, carrying Ji Yianxue into the temple.
“My daughter has been poisoned? This…” Inside the temple, Long Lan’s voice was full of surprise. She couldn’t comprehend why Ji Yianxue’s companions, who had shared life and death situations with her, would suddenly target Ji Yianxue with bug poison.
However, considering the urgency of the matter, Long Lan could not think too much and anxiously said. “Quickly bring her in! I will get rid of poison for her!”
Inside the temple.
Seated cross-legged atop a prayer mat was a woman of elusive charm and striking beauty. Her features bore a striking resemblance to Ji Yianxue’s. Unmistakably, it was Ji Yianxue’s biological mother – Long Lan!
Without hesitation, Xia Jian gently placed Ji Yianxue in front of Long Lan. By now, Ji Yianxue was unconscious, her delicate face as white as snow, was veiled in a ghastly black aura.
“This is outrageous!” Long Lan was seized with rage, but she quickly sneered. “This small Centipede Bug Poison could hardly stump me! The person who laid this bug poison has indeed some decent skills. No one in Dragon Village could cure this. But in my opinion, it’s nothing!”
As she finished her words, Long Lan commanded the villagers inside the temple to ladle a bowl of water. She took out a talisman, murmured a spell, and burned the talisman into ash, scattering it into the water and stirring it evenly. She personally held Ji Yianxue and poured the bowl of water into her mouth.
“Ugh~~~~~~!!”
Ji Yianxue immediately opened her mouth to vomit, spitting out a glob of colorful, viscous fluid.
Within this viscous fluid was a large, squirming centipede, a terrifying sight.
“Hmph!” Murder flashed in Long Lan’s eyes. She commanded in a harsh voice, “Take me to see who dared to poison my daughter!”
At that moment!
Whiz~~~~~!!
Out from the viscous fluid and the belly of the centipede bug, a gleam of light suddenly shot out. This ray of light tore through the belly of the centipede bug, shot straight into Long Lan’s body with a velocity swift and sudden!
“What ~ What?!! My…my…” Long Lan’s body jerked violently, her face was a picture of disbelief, as though she was in a dream. “I…I was poisoned… this…this is…this is the lost ‘Chain Bug Poison’…who…who in the world dares…why is there such a Bug Master…actually…I…”
Long Lan rambled incoherently!
