Although it was late at night when she was chasing Shinryoku, the moonlight was very bright.

So she could see everyone's face clearly, but she only saw the woman who appeared later once. Now that ten years have passed, she naturally doesn't remember her as clearly.

However, it's not like I have absolutely no recollection of it.

She noticed that the girl named Mu's face seemed to resemble the woman from that day, but the girl named Mu looked no more than seventeen or eighteen, at most twenty. Ten years ago, she would have been a child. How could she have appeared there carrying someone?

Moreover, ten years have passed, so it's impossible for his appearance to remain unchanged.

Ulana thought she was overthinking it.

Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Long Fantian lost his patience and pressed her for an answer, "Who was the person who came later?"

“I don’t know her, and I’ve never seen her since,” Ulana said truthfully.

Long Fantian seemed to remember something and continued to ask, "Do you still remember what that person looked like?"

"I only remember that it was a woman, and her appearance was already..." Ulana didn't finish her sentence before her face showed pain. She clutched her stomach and rolled on the ground, looking extremely distressed.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Feng immediately stepped forward to examine her and said solemnly, "She has been poisoned by a curse."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ulana let out a cry of pain, and her cries of agony could not be stopped.

It felt like there were millions of worms gnawing inside my stomach.

Qiu Feng tried to remove the curse, but the person who used the curse was too powerful, and he was unable to undo it.

Hearing something amiss outside, Mu Tiantian quickly went out to check on Ulana's body.

Just as Qiu Feng was about to stop him, Long Fantian waved his hand at him, and Qiu Feng stepped aside.

Ulana screamed in agony, "Kill me! Kill me!"

She curled up and rolled back and forth, making it impossible for Mu Tiantian to accurately locate the Gu worm.

Mu Tiantian looked at Long Fantian, but had not yet spoken.

Long Fantian seemed to understand her meaning and ordered, "Hold her down."

Upon hearing this, the group immediately stepped forward and grabbed Ulana's limbs.

Ulana's painful screams echoed throughout the Regent's Palace.

Mu Tiantian stroked her abdomen with her palm. Something was wriggling under her skin. This Gu worm was about the size of a palm and was constantly moving around in her abdomen.

Wherever she placed her hand, the Gu worms would crawl to other places, and Ulana's screams became even more painful.

Mu Tiantian glanced at the guards standing beside her; they all had long swords at their waists.

At this moment, she noticed a short dagger on Long Fantian's body, quickly took it, and Qiu Feng was on high alert, subconsciously preparing to draw her sword.

Long Fantian stopped him, his gaze towards Mu Tiantian now filled with a hint of inquiry.

Mu Tiantian should have torn open Wulana's clothes to better locate the Gu worm.

However, in ancient times, a woman's purity was of utmost importance, so she carefully sensed the Gu worms through her clothes.

Just as she could clearly feel the Gu worm, the dagger swiftly pierced in, then flicked outwards, before forcefully driving the dagger into the ground.

A black, fleshy worm was wriggling wildly inside the sharp blade, a sight that was nauseating.

Mu Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief as Ulana's shouts ceased.

Although I still feel pain in my abdomen from the dagger cut, it's much better than being eaten by the worms.

Perhaps due to prolonged pain, Ulana fell into a complete coma.

Mu Tiantian covered her still bleeding wound, looked up at Long Fantian, and before she could speak, he said, "Take her away for treatment."

Mu Tiantian glanced at him a few more times.

Was it her imagination? How come he seemed to know what she was going to say?

Qiu Feng ordered the guards to carry the person away.

Just as she was about to follow, Long Fantian said coldly, "Miss Mu, please wait."

The autumn wind stopped her.

Mu Tiantian's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Could it be... time to start interrogating her?

She removed the Gu worm in a moment of urgency, and her movements were so skillful that only someone with an extremely deep understanding of Gu worms could be so quick and accurate.

Otherwise, even the slightest deviation could endanger Ulana's life.

Mu Tiantian racked her brains, thinking about how to explain herself so that he wouldn't suspect her.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to lower the level of corruption in the future.

Long Fantian picked up the dagger, from which a wriggling black Gu worm was still stuck. "Qiufeng, go and investigate the source of the Gu worm."

"Yes." Qiu Feng took the Gu worm away.

Only Mu Tiantian and Long Fantian remained in the dungeon.

She turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Long Fantian walked up to her with a dagger in his hand, and suddenly pressed the dagger against her neck. The dagger was covered with grayish-green slime from the Gu worms and emitted a foul stench.

"Miss Mu, does your so-called 'wandering the world' include Miao territory?" Long Fantian reminded her, "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise..."

"Ugh..." Mu Tiantian was disgusted by the slime and smell on the dagger and couldn't help but vomit. She almost cut her neck with the dagger. Long Fantian frowned slightly and moved back a little.

She touched her stomach and almost threw up the steamed buns she had eaten earlier.

Mu Tiantian looked up and saw a dagger pressed against her neck. She couldn't take it anymore and glared angrily at Long Fantian.

For some reason, Long Fantian felt a little guilty after being glared at by her.

Mu Tiantian opened her mouth in anger and talked for a long time, but she couldn't utter a single word.

She frantically searched around, but there was no paper or pen in the dungeon.

In a fit of anger, she snatched the dagger from Long Fantian's hand. Long Fantian seemed not to have expected her to react so strongly, and his grip loosened.

Mu Tiantian threw the dagger on the ground, then used her index fingernail to write words forcefully in his palm.

Unfortunately, his nails were very short, so they wouldn't cause him any harm.

Mu Tiantian used all her strength, as if stabbing his palm, to write: I saved you, and this is how you treat me? Can't we talk things out properly? What kind of man bullies a mute like me?

Qi Tongjianlong Fantian's palm was poked red by her, and she gave him a friendly reminder: [His corruption level is currently 70 points, so be careful...]

Upon hearing this, Mu Tiantian paused for a moment. Despite her anger, her life was still more important.

What if you push Long Fantian to the brink and he impulsively kills her?

Mu Tiantian softened her movements, writing on his palm with her fingertips: No matter what, I am your savior, you can't kill me... you can't torture me... and you absolutely can't...

She couldn't think of anything else for a moment, paused for a while, and then wrote: Anyway... I am your savior.

Mu Tiantian got tired of writing, rotated her wrist, and still looked at him with some anger in her eyes.

Long Fantian glanced at his bright red palm.

It feels like... being scratched by a cat, your palm itches... and your heart itches too...

There seems to have been a time when I felt this way too.

Long Fantian regained his composure, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "My savior... I really shouldn't have treated you like this."

After saying that, he picked up the dagger and then took out a handkerchief from his waist to wipe it carefully.

Mu Tiantian noticed the design of the dagger. The blade was engraved with patterns, and the handle was engraved with snowflake patterns. It was very exquisite and seemed to be used by a woman.

The key point is that it looks somewhat familiar.
