Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Love Gu

The worms swarmed, the butterflies fluttered, and Long Buxi followed A Lan, crossing one mountain after another, until they arrived at a natural green barrier formed by vines and trees, where they heard the sound of rushing water behind the barrier.

Long Buxi reached out and parted the vines, revealing a small waterfall before her, with a thunderous roar as the water cascaded into a deep pool.

In the middle of the lower part of the waterfall, there is a mountain path that has been cut horizontally by man, and there seems to be a cave at the end of the path.

Long Buxi called out, "Alan."

Alan perched on his shoulder, sniffed the air, quickly nodded, and squeaked in his ear.

Seran is here!

Long Buxi's face was cold. He jumped down the slope and quickly made his way to the cave along the mountain path below the waterfall.

When Cheng Ying woke up, she found herself in a cave that was about two meters high, five meters wide, and of unknown depth.

The cave was brightly lit, as if many unknown glowing insects were lurking everywhere, making the cave seem as if it were lit up, sparkling all around.

She was lying on a bed that resembled a stone bed, surrounded by many bottles and jars, the contents of which were unknown. On the opposite wall, there were stone tools carved out, resembling wardrobes and tables, and next to them was a pot, indicating that a fire had been lit, as if someone had lived there.

A woman dressed in Miao clothing sat by the stone table. She must have heard her wake up. She turned around and looked at her, speaking in broken Chinese, "You...you're awake?"

Cheng Ying climbed up from the stone bed and looked down to check her body. Apart from the pain from her broken left hand and right foot, there was nothing wrong with her. She was still wearing the purple Miao costume she had been wearing before, and there was nothing amiss.

Cheng Ying silently breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the woman, asking, "Where is this? Sai Lan, why did you bring me here?"

“This is where I practice Gu worms. Don’t you know why I brought you here?” The Miao woman, Sai Lan, turned around, playing with a red centipede about the length of her index finger in her hand. A playful smile appeared on her beautiful face. “You Han people, don’t you like to talk about keeping your promises? I told you before that if you deceive me, I will make you pay the price.”

She was dressed in a deep purple Miao costume, and her hands, head, body, and feet were covered with Gu worms. Poisonous spiders, scorpions, centipedes, and other insects crawled all over her body. Combined with her beautiful face and the various silver jewelry she wore, she was the perfect image of a Miao woman skilled in using Gu poison.

Cheng Ying looked at the five cobras, each thicker than her wrist, coiled beneath her legs. They were raising their bodies, flicking their tongues, and staring at her coldly with their black vertical pupils. A chill ran down her spine.

She tried to sit up straight, forcing herself to calm down, and sincerely apologized to Sailan: "I'm sorry, Sailan. I didn't know things would develop to this point. When you asked me if I liked Long Buxi, I really didn't. But later, I was chased by two bears and fell into a cave. I was in grave danger. Long Buxi made me choose whether to live or stay with him. I wanted to live, so I could only choose to stay with him. I didn't mean to lie to you."

Sailan smiled faintly, "I don't care what your reasons are, you lied to me, and you have to pay the price. Guess what I did to you while you were unconscious after I brought you here?"

Cheng Ying carefully examined her body, finding nothing amiss, and asked warily, "What did you do to me?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person, I won't kill you." Sailan stood up, slowly walked in front of her, pointed at Cheng Ying's chest and said, "Pull up your clothes and take a look."

Cheng Ying felt a chill run down her spine. She didn't understand why the woman wanted to open her clothes herself. Feeling uneasy, she used her good right hand to fiddle with the buttons for a while before finally opening her clothes. Looking down, she saw a very small red dot on her left breast.

"What is this?" Cheng Ying frowned. "Did you cast a spell on me?"

"Brilliant!" Sailan clapped her hands, her face beaming with smiles. "I've placed a love potion on you. The female potion is on you, and the male potion... guess who it's on?"

Cheng Ying felt a chill run down her spine. She had never seen a love gu before, but she had heard of it from some literature. A love gu is a pair of gu worms.

The person who uses Gu poison often places one Gu worm on their beloved and another on themselves.

In this way, the person who has been bewitched will fall in love with the other person and be unable to leave them.

If you stray too far from your partner, the Gu worm will flare up, causing excruciating pain. If left untreated, the Gu worm can become fatal. Only by returning to your partner's side can the symptoms be relieved.

Cheng Ying was horrified. She never expected that Long Buxi would not have used the love potion on her, but Sai Lan would instead!

His breathing quickened, and he glared fiercely at Sailan. "I didn't mean to deceive you. Why did you use the Gu on me? Who did you put the other Gu on?!"

"Don't rush me." Sailan looked at her leisurely. "Judging by the time, your love potion should be taking effect soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Ying felt her whole body become hot, as if she had a high fever. Her body gradually became hotter, and an indescribable tingling and trembling sensation came from her lower abdomen. It felt as if her whole body was in a furnace, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

Her cheeks flushed uncontrollably, her eyes gradually became glazed, and she instinctively stood up and walked outside, wanting to find a cool place to release the heat within her.

But her hands and feet were still injured, and she fell to the ground after taking only a few steps.

As if she felt no pain, she let out seductive moans and crawled forward on all fours.

Long Buxi saw this scene when he rushed into the cave.

Cheng Ying crawled desperately forward on the damp cave floor. Her hair was disheveled, her shirt was open, revealing large areas of snow-white skin, and the love charm mark on her chest, which looked like a mole, was as red as dripping blood and was very conspicuous.

As she crawled and rubbed herself, her snow-white skin was rubbed red by the sharp stones. She felt no pain. Every time she crawled a certain distance, she would stop to catch her breath, which gave her a special kind of delicate and messy beauty.

Long Buxi's eyes darkened, and his throat tightened involuntarily. Forcing himself not to look at Cheng Ying's suggestive image, he scooped her up from the ground and glared angrily at Sai Lan, who was standing in the cave. "You dare to use a love potion on her? You're asking for death!!"

His cold, jade-like, bewitchingly handsome face couldn't conceal the intense murderous intent emanating from him. His gaze towards Sailan was sinister, as if he wanted to devour her alive.

Faced with his terrifying expression, Seran panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down. "She deceived me first, so she deserved it for using a curse on her!"

"I told you before, if you dare to touch Cheng Ying, I'll take your life!" Long Buxi tried to put Cheng Ying down and strangle Sai Lan.

However, as soon as he loosened his grip, Cheng Ying quickly raised her arms and tightly hugged his neck, tilting her sweat-drenched forehead up to look at him with distress and sobbing, "It's so hot... Long Buxi, I feel so uncomfortable, I'm so hot, please help me..."

Long Buxi paused, wanting to harden his heart and put her down, but she clung tightly to his neck, her half-open upper body pressed against his chest, rubbing against him, her almond-shaped eyes filled with an extremely alluring watery light, looking at him pitifully, as if she needed to be loved.

Long Buxi's breathing quickened, and she closed her eyes, unable to bear looking at her. She hardened her heart and refused to look at her. Staring at Sai Lan, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll ask you one more time, on whom did you put the other Gu worm?"

Seran scoffed, "You think you're so great? If you're so capable, then go find them one by one!"

"Alan." Long Buxi's eyes turned cold. He steadied Cheng Ying, who was clinging to him, with his right hand, and pointed his bloodied left hand at Sailan: "Kill her!"

Sailan's pupils constricted sharply. "Long Buxi, are you insane?! I'm Grandpa's granddaughter, how dare you kill me?!"

Alan received the order and flew towards the direction where Sailan was.

Seeing that Long Buxi had no intention of stopping Alan, Sailan frantically summoned her Gu worms to deal with Alan.

All the Gu worms on her body started moving, and at her command, they all rushed towards A-Lan.

But Alan is the Gu King of Pucang Village, and all the Gu worms are no match for him.

Alan chirped softly twice, and all the Gu worms were too afraid to approach.

"All of you, charge! What are you standing there for!" Sailan angrily slashed her fingers, offering her blood as a sacrifice, and swung the bells on her body, using them to urge the Gu worms to fight.

Urged on by her bell, her Gu worms barely mustered the energy to fight.

Alan easily dodged the attacks of swarms of scorpions, centipedes, poisonous spiders, and other parasitic insects. He then turned and bit five cobras that attacked him. The five menacing cobras instantly turned into a puddle of flesh and lay limply on the ground, motionless.

Seeing that things were going badly, Sailan turned and ran into the cave, shouting, "Long Buxi, if you try to harm me for a foreign woman, my grandfather will not let you get away with it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Alan flew onto her head and bit her head hard. She let out a shrill scream and fell straight to the ground.

Long Buxi, carrying Cheng Ying, walked step by step to Sai Lan, his eyes filled with a cold, bloodthirsty light as he looked down at her: "I'll ask you one last time, who did you use the other Gu worm on?"

It felt as if a million insects were gnawing at her flesh all over, causing her unbearable pain.

She desperately wanted to stubbornly refuse to reveal the person's name, but Alan was still administering poison to her. If she didn't tell him, she would really die here today.

She couldn't believe that the person she had loved for so many years would want her dead for another woman.

But she also knew in her heart that Long Buxi had never liked her and never wanted to look at her directly. He was a cold-hearted madman who was capable of anything if she angered him!

In his eyes, her life was nothing more than an ant's; he could take her life at any time.

She originally wanted to use Long Buxi to make him give up this foreign woman and gamble on her importance in his heart.

Now he completely disregards their childhood friendship and orders Ah Lan to take her life.

Downstairs, with tears streaming down her face and struggling to breathe, Sai Lan said, "The other Gu worm is on a wild boar that's in heat. If you want to save her, go up the mountain and find that wild boar that's disappeared to somewhere!"

"Sailan, you asked for this." Long Buxi lowered her eyes, said these words, and walked away without looking back.

Soon, Sailan's screams, growing louder and louder, echoed from inside the cave.
