To be honest, Su Yan didn't want to either.

Unfortunately, my brain capacity was compressed to 2, and my mental energy was already exhausted.

At this point, all we can hope for is that this insect king is naive and easily fooled.

Each person had their own Gu (a type of poison), and they lingered there for a long time.

It's likely that even the Gu King had never seen anyone who could communicate with it.

Finally, a consensus was reached that each person would be given a better host, with the condition of finding a better host for it.

After agreeing on the terms, Su Yan closed the box and put it into her sleeve.

Then, after tidying up his clothes, he hurriedly went back along the way he had come.

Su Yan did not see Xuan Yuan Yonghao until dark.

As night fell, she was in her bedchamber fiddling with the purse she had embroidered herself.

At this moment, the Southern Tang appeared, still with a blank and cold expression.

"Miss Su Yan, His Highness instructed me to tell you that you should go directly to the banquet to find him. Please also bring the purse you embroidered for him."

Su Yan nodded and agreed.

"good"

I stood up and walked towards the door.

At this moment, she was still holding the purse she had embroidered herself in her hand.

He folded it and tucked it into his pocket.

Then, they followed the Southern Tang dynasty step by step.

Nan Tang was tall and had long strides, so Su Yan took small steps to follow behind him. Although he didn't walk fast, Su Yan still had to keep up.

In addition, it was getting dark, so when I turned the corner, I didn't notice and my arm hit the pole.

Su Yan took two steps back, still not having reacted.

The person walking towards us had already started scolding us.

"How dare you, you little brat! Can't you watch where you're going?!"

Looking up, I saw a maid walking ahead, holding a long bamboo pole that was more than a meter tall.

It was because it was too dark that I didn't notice the pole in her hand and bumped into it.

The maid was dressed differently from the servants of the Xuanyuan Kingdom; she was dressed in gray, with the cuffs at her wrists and ankles tightly sealed, like the kind of clothing worn for martial arts training.

This person speaks very arrogantly.

Su Yan's attention was on the pole, where she could vaguely see a thin, green snake coiled and attached to it.

The snake looked so much like a pole that it was hard to spot if you weren't paying attention.

Su Yan rubbed her arm, which had just been bumped.

It felt like I'd been bitten.

Xiaohua spoke up.

"Host, a small amount of snake venom has just entered your body, but because you ate snake gallbladders before, the venom has no effect on you."

Su Yan lowered her eyes and stroked her arm.

He didn't make a sound.

Behind the maid, a woman dressed in fiery red, with a voluptuous figure and golden bells adorning her ankles, spoke up.

"You maid, you bumped into someone and you're not even going to apologize? I've heard that the Xuanyuan Kingdom is very polite, but it seems they're nothing special."

The woman's voice was like that of a nightingale, but her tone was aggressive.

Nan Tang stood in front of Su Yan, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"I apologize for unintentionally offending you. Please forgive me."

The woman's maid seemed determined to argue further, but the woman managed to persuade her to back down.

"Alright, you're a decent guard, so you can leave now."

Thank you.

After saying that, Nan Tang stood in front of the maid, protecting Su Yan as she left the two of them.

Once they were out of sight, the maidservant became somewhat displeased.

"Princess! When did you become so compassionate?"

The scantily clad woman didn't speak, but took a step, the bells on her ankles jingling.

“A maid should apologize to me with her life.”

As he spoke, he glanced at the small green snake coiled around the pole.

The maid immediately understood.

On the other side, Su Yan turned the corner, her eyes lowered.

"You don't need to follow me. If you're hungry, just eat the snake that bit me."

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Nan Tang to hear, which made him pause.

Then, the Southern Tang heard a rustling sound passing through the grass.
