Chapter 14 The Southern Border Holy Son Obsessed with Gu Poison 14

One hour later.

Lu Yi quietly left the bamboo house and went to the lake to wash up.

When he returned to the bedside, the person who had been lying properly on the bed was now fast asleep, sprawled out on their back.

A bare foot protruded from the gauze curtain, and the bedding was kicked off the bed.

Lu Yi's expression was complicated. He walked to the wardrobe next to him, changed the bedding, and covered Xie Rong with a clean set of blankets.

He sat on the edge of the couch, looking down at Xie Rong's face.

A red mark was pressed into the soft flesh of one cheek, and the slender, fair fingers were loosely clenched into fists like a baby's.

The wicked and wicked demon is surprisingly adorable when he's asleep.

Lu Yi curled the corners of his lips, then snapped out of his daze and immediately suppressed his smile.

Damn it, he actually finds a little devil cute.

It must be due to the love potion.

...

At first, there were only rumors among the medicine slaves that one night, after Lu Yi was summoned to the bamboo house by Xie Rong, he never returned to the low house to sleep.

But Lu Yi was not a talkative person; he was very tight-lipped, and no one dared to test Xie Rong.

One morning, when Song Qingming went to help the Valley Master get up at the bamboo house, the person who opened the door was Lu Yi.

The two men got into a fight in front of the bamboo house, and the situation escalated.

Before entering the valley, Song Qingming was just a scholar who held a pen. How could he possibly beat Lu Yi, who was full of agile muscles? Not only was he beaten black and blue in a few moves, but Xie Rong, who had just woken up, also witnessed it.

Xie Rong doesn't care about rules. There's only one rule in the valley: whatever he says goes.

He enjoyed watching dogs fight, especially the once arrogant and powerful families of Shangyunjing.

But in the eyes of the drug slaves, it confirmed the fact that Lu Yi was a male concubine.

When they first arrived in the valley, they pretended to advise them to prepare for being rescued, but not long after, they climbed onto the valley master's bed.

Pah! Shameless!

Even worse, some people were stirring up trouble in front of Jin Jiuzhou, the young general who was watching coldly from the sidelines.

"Young General, in terms of masculinity, you're not much less than Lu Yi. If the Valley Master is choosing male concubines, why does he only have his eye on him?"

The homosexual relationship, which was only dared to be mentioned in private in Shangyun Kyoto, became a hot commodity in the mouths of this group of people.

Do these idiots even remember they were kidnapped and enslaved in this labyrinthine valley? It's utterly ridiculous!

Jin Jiuzhou overturned the dining table and sneered, "What kind of person do you take me for? Does someone as shallow as Lu Yi even deserve to be compared to me?"

The young masters from prominent families, exhausted after a long day's work, were finally able to enjoy a hot meal, only to find their bowls empty of vegetables. They were furious. "I was just teasing you, why are you reacting so strongly? Did I touch a nerve?"

"I already said no!" Jin Jiuzhou stormed out of the door.

Furthermore, it was clearly that the devil who repeatedly seduced Lu Yi in front of him, trying to make him his concubine.

Don't even think about it!

Jin Jiuzhou walked a long way with a fierce aura, then suddenly looked up and realized that he had already arrived in front of the bamboo house.

That shallow fellow just came out of the bamboo house, carrying a bundle of clothes in his hands.

“Once the people in the capital obtain the method to cure the curse, that will be the time when the Misty Valley will fall. Even though you tried to please this demon, you were still driven out,” Jin Jiuzhou said coldly as he stepped forward with his chin slightly raised. “I will definitely report your actions in the valley to His Majesty and the Empress Dowager truthfully.”

“I have never colluded with anyone. The innocent are innocent. Young General, please go ahead,” Lu Yi said, carrying his bundle and walking past him expressionlessly.

In less than a day, everyone in the valley knew that Lu Yi had been kicked out of the bamboo house by the valley master, and in just five days, Lu Yi had fallen out of favor.

Lu Yishen agreed that the Valley Master of the Misty Valley was always fickle in temperament and was destined not to be a man of lasting affection.

Except that he was always absent-minded.

He spaced out in the fields, spaced out while chopping wood, spaced out while washing the demon's clothes, and even accidentally ruined the demon's gaudy little vest.

Normally, at this time, Xie Rong would either whip him or slap him a few times as punishment.

It's unbelievable that the little devil didn't retaliate even three or four days after he ruined the clothes.

On the seventh day after he ruined the clothes, Lu Yi gradually realized that something was amiss.

Not only was Xie Rong not supervising their farming during the day, but he also didn't call on them to wash their feet three times a day. Lu Yi even went to the bamboo house to keep watch, but he didn't see that devil call on any other men to wash his feet.

Lu Yi had been keeping watch for two hours tonight. He thought he was just collecting intelligence for Xiao Ling Si, so he felt at ease. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Song Qingming and a medicine slave standing outside the bamboo house, holding a food box and talking in low voices.

"The Valley Master has locked himself in the bamboo house for seven days and seven nights. The lunch and dinner sent over every day have not been touched. Could something be wrong?" the medicine servant asked hesitantly.

Song Qingming's expression was stern. "Don't ask too many questions about the Valley Master's affairs."

The two left together.

Lu Yi jumped down from Xie Rong's favorite orange tree, dusted off the dust on his shoulders, walked to the bamboo house, and gently knocked on the door.

After the three slams, as usual, the man would have already opened the door to reprimand him, but this time there was no reaction from inside the house.

As a member of the Swift Guard, Lu Yi's intuition pierced his brain like a needle, and without thinking, he kicked the door open.

The room was empty except for the hanging bamboo tubes that swayed gently in the wind.

Xie Rong was not in the bamboo house.

Where would it be?

The Valley of the Lost Caverns is so big, where will you go?

Lu Yi hurriedly started looking for people.

He dared not think about why he was so anxious. He leaped across rooftops and used his lightness skill to its fullest extent. Every hour, he would squat on a tree to catch his breath, lick his dry lips, and then continue his search.

He searched almost the entire Valley of the Immortals.

Lu Yi walked to the lakeside and slowly stopped.

A person was leaning against a rock by the lake.

The person was only wearing a thin purple veil, and all the elaborate silver ornaments on their head were removed and placed on the rocks.

Her black hair fell down, clinging damply to her back along with the light gauze.

He bent his two straight, snow-white legs, the water submerged his body, leaving only his knees and chest exposed.

Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, took a step closer, and saw—

Several pythons, thicker than Xie Rong's arm, coiled around his waist, shoulders, calves, and between his thighs. Xie Rong raised his right hand and slowly stroked the head of one of the snakes, while the heads of the other snakes rubbed against his chest.

Lu Yi simply strode to the shore, three feet away from Xie Rong, and as soon as he could see everything clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted.

The man in the lake tilted his head back slightly, his lips were pale, and his eyelids were closed. He was already unconscious. There was a gash on his chest, and the blood that had just flowed out was licked away by the forked tongues of several black pythons.

Before infiltrating the Misty Valley, Lu Yi had already discovered that this matter was related to the Gu poison of the Southern Frontier, so he had read through many unknown secrets in the library of the Xiaoling Division in advance.

For example, when the sorcerers of the Southern Frontier raise Gu, the offspring Gu are all fed with the blood of the Medicine Slave, but only the mother Gu needs to be nurtured by the Gu King himself.

The more powerful the mother Gu, the greater its appetite.

Those snakes that had been refined into Gu were clearly treating Xie Rong as their mother, demanding her nurturing.

In other words, Xie Rong actually transformed himself into a Gu King.
