Yan Luan sat down calmly and poured herself a cup of water. "I don't care what your purpose is, but it's impossible for you to get any help from me. I can't even protect myself now."
Father's favoritism, her identity as a woman, and Yan Qiu's targeting were all like knives hanging over her head that could take her life at any time.
And the person she married was a man.
Ning Huan closed the door. "Why don't we make a deal?"
"Deal?" Yan Luan looked at Ning Huan.
"Do me a small favor and I'll help you solve this big problem, Yan Qiu. How about that?"
"You?" Yan Luan obviously didn't trust this cross-dressing Princess Ning Huan.
Yan Qiu was almost invincible in the capital. Other than father, who could do anything to him? Those people tried to assassinate him every day, but he was still alive and well. And because of him, many ministers were dismissed and forced to return home.
This was Yan Country, not Xia Country. What ability did he have to deal with Yan Qiu?
"Your Highness, you don't believe me?"
Yan Luan looked at him seriously. "There's nothing I can believe. How can I believe you?"
Princess Ning Huan supported her chin and smiled. "Your Highness, we're in the same boat now."
He knew she was a woman and she knew he was a man.
It was fair.
Ning Huan smiled. That smile seemed to be able to steal people's souls. Yan Luan was a little dazed. After a few seconds, she came back to her senses and looked away unnaturally. "Even if you really have the ability, what do you want me to help you with?"
"It's a very simple favor. Your Highness, don't worry. It won't make things difficult for you."
Yan Luan frowned. Their breathing seemed to have disappeared and the whole world fell into silence.
"Okay."
"Happy cooperation."
…
Shi Sheng looked at his wound in the bronze mirror and twisted his body. It was still the same. It healed and split open, then healed again.
Except for the pain when it split open, he didn't feel anything else.
The wound was made by Yan Luan's people. But no matter how bad the female lead was, she wouldn't become so dark and be poisoned.
Therefore, it was hard to say where the Gu poison came from.
Shi Sheng put on his clothes and went out with his Iron Sword to look for Yan Qiu.
Yan Qiu was feeding his precious Big Dipper when Shi Sheng squatted beside him. "Yan Qiu."
Yan Qiu's sleeves were half rolled up, revealing his fair arms. The light from the lake shone on his fair skin, making it look even more translucent.
When he heard the voice, he glanced sideways slightly. Why was he silently asking?
"Do you know how to use Gu on your men of sacrifice?"
Yan Qiu retracted her gaze and said, "Yes."
Shi Sheng: "…"
"But that was after Hong Jin betrayed me." Yan Qiu continued, "You don't have my Gu in your body."
He got up and slowly put down his sleeves. "Why, do you have a Gu in your body?"
"Probably." Shi Sheng stood up and tugged at Shi Sheng's sleeve. "Do you want to take a look for me? I might be dying. "
Yan Qiu frowned slightly. He grabbed Shi Sheng's wrist and released it after a while. "What are his symptoms?"
"I was injured before, but the wound kept coming back and it's not good."
"Where is the wound?"
Shi Sheng turned his back to Shi Sheng and reached out to touch the wound. "It's here."
Yan Qiu: "…" Why did it feel like she was teasing him?
"Put down the curtain and take off your clothes."
Shi Sheng raised his hand. A strong wind swept around and the curtain fell automatically. She unbuttoned her clothes and exposed her back.
The hideous wound was immediately exposed to Yan Qiu's eyes. He was slightly stunned. He knew that she was injured. Xuanchen had reported it to him, but she hadn't been to the medical center recently. She didn't look weak either, so he thought that she had recovered.
The wound stretched from her left shoulder to her waist. Although it wasn't as bloody as before, it was still horrifying to look at.
Yan Qiu's fingers trembled slightly. He gently touched the edge of the wound and felt the throbbing pain again.
"Does it hurt?"
Shi Sheng turned his head to look at the wound. "It doesn't hurt very much. Is it a Gu? I can't tell. "
Yan Qiu composed himself and looked at the wound carefully. The edge was light pink, which was different from the surrounding skin. It was new flesh that had just grown out.
There was a scar in the middle, so he couldn't see the inside.
"I need to open the wound …" Yan Qiu looked at her. "It will hurt a little. Can you bear it?"
"Yes."
Yan Qiu took out a small knife from his waist. He pointed at it and put it down. He draped his clothes around her and turned around. "Hug me."
Shi Sheng wrapped her arms around his waist. Yan Qiu stood and opened the scar on her wound. Blood immediately flowed down her back and dyed the fabric around her waist red.
Yan Qiu's hands were trembling. He took a deep breath and tried his best to control himself.
When he opened a small section of the wound, his back was already soaked in cold sweat. "Are you okay?"
Shi Sheng shook his head. The wound had been opened so many times that it was numb to the pain.
Yan Qiu asked her to let go. He walked out of the pavilion and brought in some hot water from behind the curtain. Shi Sheng knew that Xuanchen had come by just now, but he didn't know when Yan Qiu contacted him.
Yan Qiu cleaned the blood off her body before examining her wound.
The wound didn't look any different from other injuries, but the flesh inside was a little dim even though it had been stained with blood. It wasn't bright red.
"It's the Demon Worm Gu." Yan Qiu grabbed her shoulder and turned her around. He looked serious. "How did you get poisoned by this gu?"
"I don't know …" She really didn't know whether the gu was poisoned by the original owner before or after she was injured. "What kind of gu is this? Is it very powerful? Is it deadly? "
Yan Qiu stared at her for a few seconds, then turned her back and helped her treat her wound. "This kind of Gu should have been extinct long ago. They are the treasure of the Southern True Gu Sect. This kind of Gu can make people die quietly, and in the end, not even their bones are left. You have been injured for so long. Logically speaking, you should have been … If you weren't poisoned by someone, then you … are a gu person. "
Shi Sheng turned around abruptly. "What the hell?"
What is a gu person?
Yan Qiu tidied her clothes and explained, "I heard that the Southern True Gu Sect uses children to raise the Demon Worm Gu. They let the Demon Worm Gu enter the children's bodies when they are young. The Demon Worm Gu has no killing power in its infancy. Instead, it has a strong healing power."
"When they grow up with the children, they establish a special connection with the children. Not only will they not hurt the children, but they will also protect them. But when the children are killed, these gu will change. They will enter adulthood and become killing tools. This is the Demon Worm Gu that the Southern True Gu Sect wants. And those children are called gu people. "
"The Southern True Gu Sect is an evil sect. It was destroyed more than ten years ago. The Demon Worm Gu also disappeared with the Southern True Gu Sect."
Yan Qiu frowned. "The gu in your body seems to have just been awakened. It is still in its infancy. They are healing you, but I don't know why your wound won't heal."
His knowledge was limited. It was good enough that he could say so much.
