After Yin Yu regulated her breathing, she felt better, but the rosy complexion she had gained from the tonics was gone, replaced by a deathly pale face and bloodless lips. She looked even worse than she had the day before.

"Damn it, that little bitch has some tricks up her sleeve!" Yin Yu gritted her teeth in hatred.

He underestimated Ye Qingqing; she could even cure mutated Gu worms, her methods were truly remarkable.

Yin Yu was unaware that Wu Chen possessed the ability to control insects. He assumed it was a secret technique of the direct lineage. In the eyes of the Poison Sect, the direct lineage was a very prestigious and almost omnipotent entity. Therefore, Yin Yu did not find it strange that Ye Qingqing could cure the curse, but rather considered it to be a matter of course.

But his desire to obtain the direct descendant's precious child grew even stronger.

He must get his hands on this treasure; that way, he will be the number one in the world, able to turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist, and the world will be under his control!

If we also get our hands on the Li family's treasure... then how can we not live forever?

Yin Yu revealed a confident smile, full of ambition. He had already obtained the treasure map of the Li family, but now was not the time to search for the treasure. He would do it later.

"Have you done what I asked you to do?" Yin Yu asked.

Ji Wuxin nodded respectfully and said, "It's done."

"very good!"

Yin Yu smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand to dismiss Ji Wuxin, and continued to regulate his breathing. He should have been full of energy after taking the tonic, even more energetic than a twenty-year-old, but now the Gu worms had backfired, and all his efforts were in vain.

Just you wait, you little slut, there'll be a good show tomorrow!

Ji Wuxin dragged a white-haired, desiccated corpse from the ground out. The corpse's face was covered in spiderweb-like wrinkles, and the skin was tightly pressed against the bones, making it look like a skeleton, which was particularly terrifying.

However, the mummified corpse was dressed in jeans, white sneakers, and a thick coat with a skull pattern, clearly the attire of a young person.

Ji Wuxin dragged the mummified corpse out of the room. Hua Xiaolou frowned when she saw the corpse, but Ji Wuxin didn't care at all. She threw the corpse in front of Hua Xiaolou and said coldly, "It's decomposed!"

"yes!"

Hua Xiaolou suppressed her nausea, dragged the mummified corpse to the backyard, and sprinkled some medicinal powder on it. Before long, the mummified corpse melted at a visible speed, eventually turning into a pool of black water that smelled terrible.

She sprinkled other medicinal powders on the black water, and the stench immediately disappeared, replaced by a faint floral fragrance. Hua Xiaolou was finally satisfied and went back to her room to take a bath. She had to soak for a full hour to get rid of the stench of the corpse on her hands.

The next day was Lunar New Year's Eve. The weather was great, sunny and bright. Sang Liangjie's flight was in the afternoon. Ye Qingqing had already arranged for Tang's father and Dafosi Temple to have lunch together. After lunch, they would go to the airport, and the timing would be just right.

Lu Mo drove them there. Ye Mingcheng went to the Sang family's house, and Zhu Zi and her brother stayed at home. They weren't interested in the temple. Xiao Tong went to the Sang family's house with Ye Mingcheng. Only Ye Qingqing, Wuchen, and Lu Mo went to the Great Buddha Temple.

The Great Buddha Temple is about 30 miles from the city center, and it's a quick drive. The temple is located halfway up the mountain, and there is a large parking lot below. It's usually full of cars no matter the day, but it was quite empty today, although there were still a few cars parked there.

"Why are there still guests today?" Ye Qingqing found it strange that they would come to worship Buddha on New Year's Eve.

Lu Mo glanced casually at the cars, his eyes showing surprise. There were four Mercedes-Benz cars in total, all with local license plates. What puzzled him was that all four cars had bulletproof glass, which Lu Mo noticed at a glance.

Who has such a powerful background?
