The next day, Lin Xue greeted Lei Jing and the others and went to the small courtyard in the back.

Of course, they also told the others not to go to Miao Tiantian's place for the time being, and to wait until she returned from the old lady's place.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Squeak..."

As Lin Xue tapped her fingers, the door was gently pushed open.

It seems the old lady was prepared and had already left the door open for her.

Lin Xue cautiously stepped into the courtyard house. She knew that powerful hermit masters of Gu magic all had their own tempers.

Although the courtyard looks ordinary, who knows what kind of powerful Gu poison might be hiding there.

"Come in!"

Just as Lin Xue stepped into the courtyard, the old lady's voice came from inside the house.

"sit!"

The room was decorated in a classic and charming old-fashioned style. Lin Xue sat down opposite the old lady and looked at the food prepared on the table. She guessed that the old lady was waiting for her to have breakfast together!

"Let's eat first, we can talk about it after we finish eating!"

The old lady gestured to Lin Xue, then picked up her bowl of porridge and began to eat slowly.

Although the portions of food on the table were small, each dish was exquisitely presented.

There are crystal pan-fried dumplings, evenly shredded radish and pickled vegetables, short and thick fried dough sticks, and fragrant vegetable porridge.

"Thank you, ma'am! Did you make all of this yourself? It smells so good!"

Lin Xue picked up the bowl of porridge in front of her, took a small sip, and found that the taste was far superior to that of a professional breakfast shop.

"I live alone, and I like to cook when I have nothing to do."

"If you like it, eat more. It's been a long time since anyone has eaten with me. Now that you're here, the two of us can eat slowly!"

The elderly woman chewed her food very slowly, probably because her teeth weren't very good.

After all, they're already that old. Although they're quite energetic and energetic, teeth aren't something that can be fixed by simply exercising.

"Grandma, how do you fry these fried dough sticks? They don't taste oily at all!"

Since the cure still depends on the other party, the way we address each other should naturally be changed.

But I must say, this old lady's cooking skills are really good.

This breakfast was the best Lin Xue had eaten recently.

"Are you interested? How about I teach you cooking skills in the future, so I can have some free time!"

The old lady's words made Lin Xue freeze in mid-air, her hand holding the chopsticks.

In fact, she was always impatient with kitchen work; she preferred to go hunting and earn money rather than spending her days around the stove.

Seeing Lin Xue's discomfitured expression, the old lady knew that she was definitely not someone who liked to cook.

"Hahaha……"

The old lady seemed quite pleased to see Lin Xue get the short end of the stick.

She put down her chopsticks, covered her mouth with her hand, and then burst into laughter.

"Grandma, don't scare me like that!"

Lin Xue didn't know why she was watching the old lady's smile.

She awkwardly picked up the bowl of porridge and took a big gulp. Oh my, it smells so good!

After dinner, the old lady led Lin Xue to her bedroom.

He took a brocade box from inside the bed and placed it on the bedroom table.

"This is the substance that can remove the Blood Slave Curse from your body, little girl. I hope you'll keep your word and never let me have to use Gu poison again!"

The old lady stroked the box beside her, her eyes darting over Lin Xue.

"Grandma, don't worry, from now on you're my dear grandma. I'll definitely take you with me wherever I go. If you don't want to go out, I'll stay home with you!"

"However, I definitely have to go to Shangjing. I can't let the people who hurt me get away with this!"

The thought of Mo Sangyuan made Lin Xue's brows furrow deeply, and her fists clenched tightly.

"Alright, I'll believe you for now!"

"Come and lie down on my bed. Next, I'm going to remove the blood slave from your body!"

The old lady made Lin Xue take off her shoes and lie down on her bed, while she opened the box beside her.

As soon as Lin Xue lay down on the old lady's bed, she felt a moment of dizziness, and then she lost consciousness for no apparent reason.

After Lin Xue had completely fallen into a deep sleep, the old lady took out a transparent worm that was more than three meters long from the box.

The insect was as thin as a hair. If the old lady hadn't pinched the rope, it's unlikely anyone would have noticed that there was something else inside the box.

Turning around, the old lady came to Lin Xue's bedside and gently placed the insect in her hand near Lin Xue's ear.

After a short while, the old lady withdrew her hand and stood quietly by the bed watching.

After about five or six minutes, Lin Xue's whole body began to tremble violently.

But she herself seemed oblivious, lying there expressionless.

"Little Bai Bai, you must make this old lady proud and make sure you devour that Blood Slave!"

The old lady reached out and stroked Lin Xue's forehead, as if it were the very spot where she had placed the insect.

In the brief moment the old lady was speaking, a worm-like crawling pattern appeared beneath the skin on her forehead, which she had touched.

No wonder people who use antidotes to cure curses always knock people unconscious; this scene alone could probably scare many.

Lin Xue's body trembled for a while before returning to calm.

When the old woman's body trembled again, she placed her hand on Lin Xue's chest once more.

"Go, Little White! You haven't advanced in rank since your sister passed away. This time, with the Blood Slave Charm, you must successfully acquire it and strive to advance to the next rank!"

Where the old lady's hand touched, traces of insects crawling would appear, but they were all under Lin Xue's skin.

I don't know what the principle behind this Gu worm is, that it can travel freely in a person's body without harming their internal organs.

Just now, this little white worm crawled under Lin Xue's scalp, but it did not cause any damage to Lin Xue's brain.

Gu is truly a magical thing; it can follow a special trajectory according to the Gu master's wishes.

If it were an ordinary insect, and it got into a person's brain, how could it not turn the brain into a pig's brain?

Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.

At this moment, the old lady brought the box back and placed it under Lin Xue's nose.

Then, with the final tremor of Lin Xue's body, a white-and-red worm crawled out of Lin Xue's nose and slowly crawled into the box.

This shows that the box must be made of a very special material, otherwise it wouldn't be able to contain the Gu worm.

"Thank goodness it was a success this time, otherwise it would have been such a waste to lose such a wonderful young girl!"

After the old lady finished doing everything, she took her thin blanket and covered Lin Xue with it. Then she picked up the box and went out the door, disappearing without a trace.
