After Yanxiao and the other maids left the room, she emerged from under the covers, covering her nose.

Without wasting a moment, she quickly stripped off her smelly clothes and began cleaning herself.

The grime on her body not only looked oily, but also felt even oilier. Fortunately, soap is available now, otherwise, it's not certain that she could have cleaned herself of all the grime and odor.

After using up all the buckets of water, she finally washed herself clean inside and out, and her already fair skin became even fairer.

Not only that, her already smooth skin now looks even more tender, as if you could squeeze water out of it, like the first melting snow of spring, pure and flawless, making Yan Xiao look both ethereal and charming, making it impossible for anyone to look away.

However, Yan Xiao had no time to pay attention to the changes in her appearance at the moment; all her attention was focused on the changes within her body.

When a superpower reaches the third level, it will expel impurities from the body, completing a cleansing process that allows the body's attributes to leap to a new level. Yan Xiao knew this, after all, she had already experienced it once before her rebirth.

However, the energy that suddenly appeared in his body was clearly due to the original owner's own constitution, just like Lou Guyu's.

As she examined the energy, she pondered why it had suddenly appeared at this moment and why she had never sensed it before.

In the end, we can only draw one conclusion: the original owner was poisoned by the Miao King's Gu poison. Although Uncle Jing saved her escape, he did not have a way to cure the poison.

Therefore, it was Uncle Jing who used his internal energy, combined with the special physical energy within the original body, to suppress the poison.

Until finally, all the energy belonging to the original body was exhausted, and the original saintess's physique was completely destroyed, Uncle Jing could no longer help her suppress the poison, and could not find a way to detoxify it. In the end, he had no choice but to transfer his life's work to the original body to continue suppressing it.

This explains why the original owner was stronger than ordinary people. However, this internal energy would be depleted over time. If it weren't for Yan Xiao, a healing ability user, who transmigrated here, this body wouldn't have lasted past the age of 20.

These are just Yan Xiao's guesses based on how things have developed. If she is right, Uncle Jing should be long gone, so she has no way of verifying it.

She briefly touched the energy and found that it was like a kind of human breath that was not under her control, so she didn't pay any more attention to it, thinking that she would ask Lou Guyu about any other uses for this energy when she met him later.

After making her decision, she regained her composure, changed her clothes, and then, with her face veiled, had someone tidy up the room.

Although she has the ability to repair physical fatigue, she can only adjust her mental exhaustion by sleeping. So after the others cleaned up the house, she ate something and went straight to sleep.

What she didn't know was that the Miao people were already in chaos.

A middle-aged man, sweating profusely, soothed his natal Gu (a type of magical insect) while speaking to the woman beside him who was doing the same thing:

"What's going on? Why are all these Gu worms so restless? Could it be that another holy maiden has been born?"

The woman also looked puzzled at the moment, and only replied after her natal Gu had calmed down a bit:

"Judging from this, it must be. This situation is exactly the same as when the Lou family's brother and sister were born, or even worse. I wonder whose unlucky family this time is."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

The man's expression changed upon hearing this. After looking around to make sure no one was watching, he whispered a rebuke after eavesdropping:

"The birth of a holy maiden is a blessing for our clan, a joyous occasion. What unlucky fellow?"

"Heh~"

The woman gave a cold laugh, clearly somewhat unconvinced, but she also lowered her voice:

"Good fortune? Would you dare to accept this good fortune? What kind of Miao blessing is this? Let's talk about it after you've survived and grown up."

The man was speechless upon hearing this, and after stammering for a long time, he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

At this time, similar situations and dialogues were occurring in various parts of the Miao ethnic group.

The Miao Queen's face was terribly gloomy. She looked around, but everyone who met her gaze quickly lowered their heads.

The Miao king was even angrier upon seeing this. He gritted his teeth but still couldn't contain his anger and cursed:

"Are you all mute? Why is Lou Guyu still alive? Didn't you say he was doomed? Can anyone give me a reasonable explanation?"

After she finished speaking, no one dared to respond. Everyone knew that her anger was not only because Lou Guyu was still alive. After all, Lou Guyu, disguised as a woman, was now a sinner of the Miao people and could not affect her status at all.

What angers her most right now is the restlessness of the Gu worms just now, which is clearly a signal of the birth of a saintess.

She had just gotten rid of the troublesome saintess when a new one appeared. How could she not be annoyed?

Haven't you seen some old guys who had just resigned themselves to their fate because Lou Guyu was a man, but now that they hear about the birth of a holy maiden, they immediately run off to investigate?

If this is true, the Pro-Saint faction can be re-established immediately, and it's no wonder the Miao King is furious.

When no one responded, the Miao king slammed his fist on the table in anger:

"Useless, they're all a bunch of useless trash."

After she finished cursing, she immediately turned and glared at someone, asking in a cold voice:

"Elder Zuo, it was your suggestion to take action against several cities. Now, Lou Guyu has stirred things up, causing most of the capable forces to suffer from the Gu poison, but the blame has been placed entirely on our Miao people."

It would have been fine if they had all been killed, but now Shen Muzhi has benefited.

Once the poison in those cities is cured, their first act will be to unite against us in hatred. Is this the brilliant idea you gave me?

Elder Zuo turned pale with fright upon hearing this and immediately knelt down to explain:

"Your Majesty, how could I have known that Lou Guyu was still alive? I certainly didn't expect him to have joined forces with Shen Muzhi."

As he said this, a cold glint flashed in his lowered eyes, then he raised his head, pointed at a hunchbacked old man beside him, and said angrily:

"This is all the fault of the First Elder. He was in charge of hunting down Lou Guyu back then, and he was the one who said Lou Guyu was dead. Now that Lou Guyu has come back to life, who knows if he did it on purpose?"

The Grand Elder had tried his best to minimize his presence, but he never expected that the fire would still burn him.

He immediately knelt down on the ground, trembling, and replied with snot and tears streaming down his face:

"Your Majesty! I am innocent! You personally administered the Gu poison to Lou Guyu. With Your Majesty's Gu poison skills, no one but you could cure that Gu poison. I have no doubt about that."

That's why I was so certain he was dead when I didn't see Lou Guyu's body. While I, the old man, have made a mistake in oversight, I have never harbored any intention of betrayal. I am utterly loyal to the King. I implore the King to investigate thoroughly!

Miao King originally just wanted to vent his anger, but after all this, it turned out that the old man was implying that her poison was the problem.
