Mu Qing's escape went very smoothly, having completely crossed the line. With the child as leverage, Wen Xuan didn't offer any resistance and obediently cooperated with Mu Qing to go to the steward in charge of the money to withdraw funds.

Previously, Wenxuan was in charge of Qingmaoju's expenses, but later, as more people joined, Steward Mou Hong was put in charge of connecting an old steward with him.

"How much money does Madam wish to withdraw?"

The old steward held a silver coin and looked at the accounts in his hand. Although he had doubts about Wenxuan's withdrawal of money, he did not ask any further questions.

As a beloved and pregnant woman, Wenxuan naturally held a prestigious position in the mansion, especially since she was a clever person.

"Three hundred taels. The master said he wants to go sightseeing and shopping, and asked me to bring the money with me."

With the unveiling of the Goddess Record and his talent, Dao Chengyi naturally had more and more money in his hands. Although three hundred taels was a relatively large amount, it was still a normal expense.

"I see. Should we send some servants along?"

The old steward nodded, then asked Wenxuan, whose expression wasn't good, another question.

"Is Madam unwell? Should we see a doctor first?"

"No need, I just vomited a lot, I'll recover soon."

After receiving the three silver notes, Wenxuan and Muqing quickly left. The steward sighed as he watched Wenxuan leave without any reaction.

"Do you really still think she's your good daughter?"

At this moment, the one watching all this from the butler's perspective is naturally Dao Chengyi. After acquiring the Wisdom Gu, the talented Wei Shitong also developed the new Wisdom Gu, the Dual-Use Gu, which can handle multiple things and thoughts at the same time.

This old steward had long been parasitized by Dao Chengyi using Wanwo, and assimilated into one of his clones, walking like a human.

He also has nine other clones like this, not for any other reason than to avoid feeling insecure. Some of them travel to other cities, and once they arrive, they will naturally spread their influence for the great cause of Dao Chengyi.

Mu Qing, who had received the money, was unaware that she was walking step by step toward her death. Although the amount of money she received was small, she was quite satisfied considering that it was safer this way.

The next steps were a bit simpler. To ensure her safe progress, she needed to acquire some Gu worms that could quickly enhance her strength.

To avoid being targeted by others and becoming their servants along the way, according to the Blood Path inheritance, the Blood Path Human Gu is considered the fastest way to enhance martial arts talent and strength.

However, the preparation work was somewhat tedious, so Mu Qing decided to first refine a Five Poison Gu, a Detoxifying Gu, and a Copper Skin Gu. These three could effectively increase her sense of security.

The materials are extremely simple. These three Gu worms are not difficult to refine, and the materials are easy to buy in today's Fengyue Festival.

As for Wenxuan, Mu Qing naturally wouldn't let her go. He still threatened her to leave, lest she encounter Dao Chengyi on the way and be discovered and killed.

The process went surprisingly smoothly. After purchasing the materials, they put the Gu poison, along with herbs, copper ingots, and various poisonous insects, into a jar in front of Wenxuan, stimulating the vital energy in the void aperture to activate it.

The next thing to do is wait for them to finish digesting the food. Seeing Mu Qing's unorthodox actions, Wen Xuan understood that the green vine she used to rely on and treat as her own child was completely gone.

Even so, Wenxuan still wanted to help her one last time, so he took her to the mooring place and saw her off.

But things won't really go so smoothly. After confirming that the Gu material wouldn't leave anytime soon through the connection between the Soul Gu and the Wisdom Gu, Dao Chengyi started to flirt with the maid he liked.

Being free from illness and disability is a basic requirement, but the most important thing is to be good-looking and conform to the aesthetic of Dao Cheng Yi. Being young, thin, or small is naturally not within the scope of consideration.

And the Hu merchants were confident in opening shops, not to mention the various maids and strong men who met the local requirements of Xin Su, they also had black slaves, Silla maids, and Rakshasa women.

This was the first time Dao Chengyi had seen people with skin and hair colors other than black hair and yellow skin. He didn't know if it was because he had sold his goods in other places, but although he was interested, he couldn't compare to the maids in his household in terms of appearance.

Once they finally find one that catches their eye, the mad dog beside them will immediately shout out the price, adding two taels of silver to whatever Dao Cheng offers.

"You two gentlemen are too kind to me. My shop is small and can't afford your troubles. Please, have mercy!"

When the foreign merchants saw the two young men enter, they thought it was a good business opportunity. However, they soon discovered that the two men were sworn enemies. This made the foreign merchants, who were introducing the place to each other, tremble with fear, lest the two men lose their temper and tear the place down.

"If you don't have the means, don't even think about pretending to be a big shot. You can't even afford a maid. Tsk tsk."

Shang Bolai waved his fan, his mocking manner making even the dog, who had been silently eating, want to punch him, but Dao Chengyi stopped him.

"That's for sure. It can't compare to your family's wealth and your unique taste, which even a fifty-year-old woman would find appealing."

While bargaining with Daocheng, Shang Bolai also bought an elderly woman who was clearly older, sticking with the price until the very end.

"An elder in the family is a treasure, not to mention exotic cuisine. I'd like to try it out. Mr. Lie, do you have any better dishes? Bring them out and let our martial arts genius see them."

The merchant secretly realized something was wrong, but he still forced himself to say that the best goods were here, and that only some defective products remained in the backyard.
