Jun Weihe said, "Fourth brother is so absorbed in cultivation, how can he have time to accompany Yuan Zhan?"

"It's okay, those who are capable should do more work..." The emperor took out a wooden pigeon from his sleeve, wrote a small note on it and put it on the pigeon, releasing a spiritual power. The pigeon's eyes suddenly became lively, it flapped its wings and flew out of the window.

"Alright." The emperor was very pleased with his masterpiece. He said, "From now on, Yuan Zhan will be handed over to your fourth brother. You can focus on pursuing the girl. Once you get her, I will issue an imperial decree to grant you a marriage."

Jun Weihe said: "Thank you, father."

"However, that girl is not easy to pursue. Prince Rui seems to have wanted Lan Zhi to be his daughter-in-law for a long time." The emperor snorted coldly, obviously feeling that a man like Yuan Zhan was not worthy of the girl from the Lan family.

However, none of the princes were very ambitious, so the emperor did not allow his sons to get close to Lan Zhi, just wanting to let nature take its course. Later, the emperor discovered that two of his sons liked Lan Zhi, but these two sons were very timid and did not dare to express their feelings, nor did they dare to openly oppose Yuan Zhan, which made the emperor very unhappy.

How can my son be so cowardly?

Even if Prince Rui is powerful, he wouldn't dare to kill you!

If he really killed him, it would not be a loss. As long as Prince Rui dared to kill the prince, it would immediately alarm the "Pulse Guardian" sleeping in the forbidden area of ​​the palace. At that time, the Pulse Guardian would jump out and kill Prince Rui with a sword. It was guaranteed to be clean and neat, and no matter how many means Prince Rui used to save his life, it would be useless.

However, the "Pulse Keeper" is very aloof and will not even obey the emperor's orders. He will only appear when the emperor is beaten to death or a prince dies. Normally, the emperor cannot wake him up or invite him away.

It is impossible that the emperor would sacrifice one of his own sons just to kill Prince Rui. Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. Besides, Prince Rui is not stupid. Why would he kill the prince? Is he crazy?

Now, knowing that Jun Weihe wanted to pursue Lan Zhi, the emperor was very happy: "Well, well done, you are much better than your brothers. Don't worry, Prince Rui won't be back for a while, and he won't dare to kill you when he comes back. At most, he will beat you to a cripple. Don't be afraid... I will support you for the rest of your life."

Jun Weihe: "..."

Beaten to... cripple?

Haha, it’s not certain who will beat whom.

Jun Weihe laughed and asked, "Father, where are the twelve assassins? Can you confirm their location?"

"Okay, but this is not your concern. You are only in the Infant Yuan Realm, and you still want to join in the fun?" The emperor glared at him unhappily.

…

There are dozens of dried fish hanging in Lanzhi's yard.

There are countless flying fish poisons hidden in every fish.

This kind of poisonous insect is highly toxic. It hides in the belly of fish and makes the belly bulge.

Lan Zhi felt like she was becoming more and more like a villain. Who would raise so many Gu?

"When do you plan to eat these fish?" Shangguan Jianxing asked after cleaning the yard.

Lan Zhi shook her head: "Don't eat it. It's full of poison. You'll be poisoned if you eat it."

Shangguan Jianxing: “…”

Speaking of the poisonous insect, he subconsciously touched his stomach.

Although Shangguan Jianxing's appetite grew day by day, he did not gain weight at all and his figure remained well-proportioned.

In addition, Shangguan Jianxing found that his vision had improved a lot. For example, now he could clearly see a small flying insect on the ground flying next to the flower.

Shangguan Jianxing snapped his fingers, and the small flying insect was killed by the spiritual power bursting out from his fingertips.

Shangguan Jianxing then looked up at the fish hanging in the yard and said, "If you don't want to eat it... can you give me a bite?"

Lan Zhi said, "If you're hungry, I have something to eat here."

Lan Zhi took out a box of beautifully shaped rose cakes from the butterfly space.

"I'm not hungry." Despite saying that, Shangguan Jianxing still took the cakes and ate them one by one in a few bites. He said, "I think you developed the Gu worms for no reason other than to harm people, so I want to try what the Gu worms raised in fish stomachs taste like."

Lan Zhi: "Who gave you this illusion?"

If she didn't want to harm people, why did she create these poisons?

Shangguan Jianxing said, "The transparent Gu you gave me earlier didn't cause any harm to my body...it even had some benefits."

Lan Zhi asked: "What's the benefit? Can I eat more food?"

"No." Shangguan Jianxing shook his head, turned around in front of Lan Zhi, and asked, "Don't you notice anything different about me?"

Lan Zhi: "No."

Shangguan Jianxing: "I've grown taller."

Lan Zhi: “…”

Shangguan Jianxing continued, "I'm as tall as a fingernail. Most people might not notice this, but I carry a large mirror as tall as me, and I also have many sets of clothes. I only discovered yesterday that I'm taller than the mirror, and I didn't have time to tell you..."

"What does your height increase have to do with my poisonous insect?" Lan Zhi took a fish from the yard and asked in confusion.

The Poison Spirit Sutra doesn't mention the function of transparent Gu, but only states that "among tens of millions of transparent Gu, a Gu King might be born. If a Gu King is cultivated, there will be unexpected benefits."

There is no record of the specific benefits.

However, the transparent Gu was so greedy that Lan Zhi temporarily gave up the idea of ​​cultivating the Gu King.

Shangguan Jianxing continued, "Anyway, I've noticed that my physical fitness is getting better little by little. This is all due to the transparent Gu... In addition, I've also noticed that if I eat ordinary meals, my appetite will be very large, but if I eat spirit stones, I get full very easily."

Lan Zhi looked at him in surprise, "Aren't spirit stones meant to be absorbed? Can they be eaten?"

Shangguan Jianxing said, "You can eat it, but most people have bad teeth and their digestive system can't keep up. I only discovered last night that I can actually eat spirit stones raw... They're so crunchy when you bite them."

Lan Zhi: “…”

She was silent for a while and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"It has no taste, just like chewing ice cubes, but I feel very satisfied after eating it... I seem to be able to feel that the little poisonous insects in my body are very happy. They have a big appetite because ordinary food contains limited spiritual energy and can only provide limited energy. If the food is replaced with spiritual stones, they will be full easily." Shangguan Jianxing is very experienced in this area.

Lan Zhi said, "It seems that this kind of insect needs to be raised in luxury, and ordinary people can't afford it..."

"Well, I'd like you to cultivate some more transparent Gu. I think a dozen or so are too few."

"Let's wait for a while. I'm going out." Lan Zhi took a fish and prepared to stake out the disciple of the evil sect.

Shangguan Jianxing asked, "Can I go with you?"

Lan Zhi said, "It's better not to. I might go to the wilderness and stay there for ten days... Actually, I think you should try not to absorb any more transparent Gu. I nurtured them, and they recognize me as their master. Even if they reproduce in your body, the offspring will establish a connection with me on their own... But this connection is one-sided. They can sense me, but I can't sense them..."
