Chapter 364 The Holy Son of Miao Territory is Bewitched by the Villainous Cult Leader 02

That's all it does.

"Hurry up, I just don't know what identity this person will have this time." Yu Sheng was more eager to see her husband.

888 located its own god's position, only to find that its own god was at Red Lotus Manor.

Yu Sheng didn't think much of it. Instead, he used his lightness skill to reach the Red Lotus Manor at his fastest speed. When he leaped onto the roof of the Red Lotus Manor, he smelled a strong stench of blood.

He frowned uneasily, his eyelids twitching, a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

Following the scent of blood, Yu Sheng found himself in a bamboo grove filled with corpses, the blood staining the green bamboo leaves red.

The red lotuses in the ponds on both sides were in full bloom. Crossing the pond, Yu Sheng saw a man in red with black hair sitting with his back to him, slowly wiping the bloodstains off his sword at a stone table.

Yu Sheng recognized someone just from their back view.

"Master, everything has been taken care of!" The man in black suddenly appeared and reported the problem to Gu Shixian.

Unexpectedly, Gu Shixian suddenly smiled, the sword held horizontally across the black-clad man's neck, where a faint line of blood could already be seen.

"Master?" The man in black didn't understand what he had done wrong, or if his master had gone mad again.

Gu Shixian scoffed, "All cleaned up? Are you sure?"

The man in black was immediately drenched in sweat.

If the owner says that, then it must not have been cleaned properly.

"Your subordinate will do it now..."

Gu Shixian waved his hand and said, "Remember to go back and collect your punishment."

He suddenly changed the subject, "That fish that slipped through the net, what, do you want me to invite you out?"

The phrase "a fish that slipped through the net" perfectly describes Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng emerged from the shadows, but before he could get close to Gu Shixian, Gu grabbed him by the neck.

It's more accurate to call it a caress than a pinch.

The pale, large hand rested lightly on Yu Sheng's neck, without exerting any force whatsoever.

Gu Shixian also found it strange. He was always ruthless in killing people, and would kill anyone he didn't like. Usually, he would break the necks of those who slipped through the net like this, but this time he didn't understand why he suddenly stopped.

He refused to believe it and was about to continue exerting force when a sharp pain shot through his chest, making his face even paler.

Gu Shixian's subordinates could clearly sense that their master was becoming increasingly irritable towards the man in exotic clothing in front of them.

What he didn't understand was why his master hadn't snapped the man's neck yet. Was it just because he was good-looking?

Yu Sheng seemed to sense his thoughts, and gripped Gu Shixian's hand, forcefully choking her own neck.

Gu Shixian's pupils suddenly contracted, and he abruptly released his grip.

"Hmm? Not continuing?"

Gu Shixian looked at Yu Sheng in annoyance and said, "Get out—"

"Oh, then I'm really going to leave now~"

Yu Sheng had just turned around when she heard Gu Shixian shout, "Wait!"

"What's wrong?"

What did you just see?

Yu Sheng obediently replied, "After seeing you lead people to kill everyone in the Red Lotus Manor, you still want to get rid of me, the one who escaped the net, as well."

"Ha, so do you think I'll let you go after you've seen so much?"

So you're going to kill me?

Gu Shixian glared angrily at Yu Sheng, then turned to his subordinates and said, "Take him back and keep a close watch on him!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

So, Yu Sheng happily received a hemp rope.

******

"Oh, Master Gu, what brings you back a beauty?" Mu Qingfeng was sitting on the mountain gate, one leg dangling precariously. When he saw Gu Shixian bring people back, his eyes lit up, and he jumped down from the mountain gate, almost falling flat on his face.

Gu Shixian took a step back in disgust.

"She's a beauty from Miao territory, Gu Shixian. Could this be a wife you stole?"

Gu Shixian kicked the person far away. "Mu Qingfeng, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

"Tsk, getting impatient, it's probably not true..."

Gu Shixian glared at him coldly, and Mu Qingfeng immediately shut his mouth.

Yu Sheng was taken to the woodshed and locked up. He waited for a long time but Gu Shixian did not come to find him. Instead, Mu Qingfeng came instead.

"My little beauty, it's time to eat." Mu Qingfeng brought out fine wine and food, but he didn't seem to be leaving. Instead, he casually plopped down on the straw.

"Want to grab a drink?"

Yu Sheng glanced at Mu Qingfeng with disdain and moved to the side.

"Don't be so aloof. My name is Mu Qingfeng, and I'm the Second Elder of the Sun-Embracing Sect. What's your name?"

"Second Elder, are you trying to find out my background?" Yu Sheng raised an eyebrow and looked at him leisurely.

Mu Qingfeng's smile froze, and he resumed his expressionless demeanor. "So what if it is? Do you have the right to refuse?"

Mu Qingfeng toyed with a boning knife as thin as a cicada's wing in his hand, and said as if jokingly, "Tell me... if this knife were to fall on you, would you still be so stubborn?"

Yu Sheng smiled slightly at him.

"888, bite him!"

888 poked its head out and, before Mu Qingfeng could react, bit his wrist.

Mu Qingfeng cried out in pain, and the boning knife in his hand fell to the ground.

He reached out to pick it up, but Yu Sheng beat him to it.

The snake venom in his body began to take effect, and Mu Qingfeng's lips turned purple.

Yu Sheng tied the rope around Mu Qingfeng's body and asked him with a smile, "Second Elder, now it's my turn to ask questions, and you answer them~"

"If the Second Elder cooperates, I might be able to cure you of the poison."

"My first question is, what is your relationship with Gu Shixian?"

Mu Qingfeng had expected Yu Sheng to ask questions like "How did you escape from the Xianri Sect?", but he was surprised that Yu Sheng asked such a harmless question.

Thinking it wasn't a big deal, Mu Qingfeng endured the excruciating pain and said, "Friend."

"Just a simple friendship?"

"What else? Would I possibly be interested in him?" Mu Qingfeng's emotions suddenly became unusually agitated, and even the severity of the poisoning worsened considerably.

"Don't get excited yet. There's a second question: Is there anyone who likes Gu Shixian, or does Gu Shixian like anyone?"

Now that the question has been asked, even a fool like Mu Qingfeng should understand.

"No, you've taken a liking to Gu Shixian?!" Mu Qingfeng's voice rose an octave, almost cracking.

He glanced at Yu Sheng's attire and immediately understood.

"You're from Miao territory, so you probably don't know about Gu Shixian's heroic deeds. Although he's handsome, he's too brutal. He kills anyone he doesn't like. Otherwise, why would our Xianri Sect be called a demonic sect?"

"To be honest, apart from you, no one dares to like him. Just hearing his name would make people avoid him, let alone like him."

"Give up on that idea. He doesn't like anyone; he only likes killing!"
