Li Shushu remained calm and returned to heaven.
She changed her shape based on the appearance and voice of Bao Li in her memory and hurried to the Lingxiao Palace.
She thought that Baoli might not have had time to return to the Heavenly Palace yet to report the progress to Yangming. If she went there now, she might be able to find a loophole and maybe get some useful information.
Sure enough, before she reached the Lingxiao Palace, Lord Yangming appeared and stopped her.
He pulled her to the corner room next to him and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here at this hour? What happened?"
Li Shushu bowed respectfully: "Your Highness, Demon Lord Mingyan has been poisoned. Please tell me what we should do next?"
"Oh, really?" Yang Ming didn't expect things to go so smoothly. A gentle smile appeared on his face. "How is Ming Yan now?"
Li Shushu told the truth: "When I came here, he was already poisoned and unconscious. Should I take this opportunity to kill him?"
Yang Ming waved his hand and said, "No rush. We still have some use for him. The demon tribe still needs him to lead for the time being. Killing him might cause chaos."
"Then, what should I do next? If we keep dragging it out, what if they find the antidote and cure him of the poison? Wouldn't all our efforts be wasted?" Li Shushu pretended to be anxious.
"Don't worry, the poison he was infected with is not an ordinary poison. To be precise, it is not poison, but a Gu, a kind of Gu called Lianli Gu.
This Gu has Yin and Yang, and it is best if two people are infected at the same time. The emotions and five senses of the infected people will be connected, which means that if one person is injured, the other will also feel pain. If one person dies, the other cannot survive.
Last time, I gave you two bottles and asked you to plant the first one in Ming Yan and plant the other one in a weak woman. Have you planted the seed in that woman yet?"
Li Shushu: "Uh, not yet in time!"
"What? Then go and plant it quickly. Remember, you must plant it within three days. Otherwise, the Yin Gu will lose its effect, and Ming Yan will be finished.
He can't die now!
After finding the woman and planting the poison on her, we only need to control her and we can easily control Ming Yan.
By then, are you still worried that the demons won't be easily captured?"
Li Shushu understood: It seems that we must find Baoli as soon as possible and find out the Yin Gu or the woman.
But she still had doubts. "Your Highness, this poison sounds quite ordinary. What if they find a way to cure it? Furthermore, what if one of my subordinates loses control and the weak woman dies? Wouldn't that mean the Demon Lord would die too?"
"This Gu is extremely difficult to maintain. It's unique in the world. I personally spent decades refining it with the Miaojiang Gu King. Without an antidote, they can't possibly find a way to remove it, unless... Hehe, as far as I know, there's no way Ming Yan can successfully remove it."
"Unless what?" Li Shushu pricked up her ears. The answer was about to come out, and she was actually curious and her heart was pounding.
Yang Ming didn't intend to continue, "Don't worry about this. Just remember, find a weak woman within three days, quickly inject the Yin Gu into her, and then take good care of her.
Don't let that woman die. Otherwise, Ming Yan will die immediately, or the insect will enter someone else's body. Ming Yan might not die so quickly, but the result will be out of our control."
"Yes," Li Shushu responded respectfully.
Yang Ming extended a hand and placed it on his shoulder. "You've worked hard. Just hold on for a few more days. When I'm ready, I'll come and take the lives of the demons and Ming Yan."
Seeing that the conversation had reached this point, Li Shushu didn't want to ask any more questions, fearing that it would arouse suspicion. He could only bow and say, "Congratulations, Your Highness. Your great cause will be accomplished."
"It's still early, still early. By then, I will definitely appoint you as the Great Protector of the Demon Tribe, hahahaha." Lord Yangming smiled proudly, as if everything was under his control.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will take my leave now."
"Go ahead."
Li Shushu pretended to be serious and left respectfully.
"Kang Kang, Kang Kang, please help me, Kang Kang..." On the way back, she couldn't wait to find Kang Kang to check the information.
"Master, I'm here."
"Lianli Gu, what is it? Can you help me check it out?"
"Okay, Master, please wait a moment... Lianli Gu, click, search, ok... uh, wow, exciting!" Li Shushu first heard the sound of Kang Kang humming a little tune and typing on the computer keyboard in his mind, and then he heard his various exclamations. His curiosity was aroused for a moment, and he felt itchy.
"What's going on? Tell me now!" Li Shushu urged.
"Ahem, alright, Master, listen carefully, there are precedents for this kind of Lianli Gu.
However, there are not many recorded cases in our system.
It is said that this Gu comes in two types, yin and yang, which we can also understand as a male and female Gu. As the name suggests, there must be two people infected with the Gu, and they must be one male and one female. After being infected, their emotions, pain sensations, and other various feelings will be connected. How should I put it? It's like being conjoined twins. Except for the thoughts in their brains, the two infected people can feel everything else. Do you understand?"
"I see, I see, I've seen this before. In the TV series 'Longing', weren't Xiangliu and Xiaoyao both infected with the love poison?
The symptoms seem similar to this, so it's nothing unusual, right? "
"Yeah, there are some similarities, but not exactly the same. Why is our Gu called Lianli Gu instead of Qing Gu? Master Yin, guess?" Kang Kang got to the key point and started to keep everyone in suspense.
"I'm guessing, what the hell! Tell me now, or I'll quit if you don't, believe it or not?" Li Shushu threatened.
