"Clean up the second floor. I will stay on the second floor until we return to the capital," Shang Xiye said, his eyelids lowered and his face expressionless.

What's wrong with the prince? Did he and the princess quarrel again?

But he clearly didn't hear the prince and princess arguing just now; they didn't even say much.

Wu Shang glanced around the room but didn't see Ji Fengyao. Not daring to anger Shang Xiye any further, he had no choice but to obey and leave.

Shang Xiye was left alone in the room.

Suddenly, he felt stuffy in the room, and a hollow feeling in his heart made it hard for him to breathe.

As he casually opened the window, he heard the melodious and lively voice of the little bandit girl coming from the inner room: "Here it is, found it, tsk tsk, the sub-gu that has been fully activated is indeed extremely fierce."

The sound was like a clear spring flowing into an empty heart, making one yearn for it.

Shang Xiye withdrew her hand from her lap, trembling almost imperceptibly: But she was destined to leave, and there was no point in clinging to her.

Ji Fengyao picked up the jade bottle containing the Ghost Face Gu seed gu. She felt the seed gu, which had been numbed by alcohol, hitting the bottle and making soft, persistent noises. She couldn't help but marvel at this.

These Gu worms are so resilient; it has to be said, Qin Weiyang really took good care of them.

She's the undisputed queen of insect breeding!

But even horses can stumble, and people can make mistakes.

Just like even the most skilled dog owner can get bitten if they carelessly break a dog's taboo.

Ji Fengyao drew her right thumb across the tip of her index finger, opened the bottle, squeezed out two drops of blood, and then focused her mind to begin controlling the mother Gu in reverse through the offspring Gu.

The offspring gu is inherently weak. If the mother gu does not fully activate the offspring gu to strengthen the connection between the two, Ji Fengyao would have no chance of counter-controlling it. She left the offspring gu behind precisely for the day when Qin Weiyang would fully activate it!

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth—this is the teacher's teaching.

Qin Weiyang dared to injure her master's appearance, how could she simply kill her? She must retaliate with her master's teachings to show respect for her master!

With a drop of Ji Fengyao's spiritual blood and the assistance of Ji Fengyao's powerful spiritual energy, Zi Gu gradually calmed down inside the jade bottle and quickly gained the upper hand.

Qin Weiyang was sitting with her hair disheveled, leaning against the headboard, when the large worm in the jade box in her palm suddenly stopped wriggling.

"What's going on? Why did you stop? I've already fed you!" Qin Weiyang exclaimed in surprise, then brought the jade box closer in confusion, using her long, sharp nails to poke at the fleshy worms inside. Her voice was fierce: "Hurry up and keep moving for me! If you slack off now and fail to kill Shang Xiye, I'll kill you!"

Under Qin Weiyang's irritating manipulation, the flesh worm finally moved, but instead of activating its offspring on its own, it suddenly sprang up!

Qin Weiyang never expected that the Gu worm she was raising would suddenly attack her, and she was caught off guard and bitten by the big fleshy worm!

With a scream of pain, Qin Weiyang covered her face with both hands and rolled around on the bed in agony.

When Aunt She and Qi Xuan pressed her down and turned her over, they saw that her face had been bitten by more than a dozen large worms, and these wounds were filled with extremely tiny white cocoons.

Qin Weiyang screamed as she flung the already dead giant worm away, shouting in terror, "Quickly bring me some wine! Quickly wash the worm cocoons off my face! Quickly, quickly!"

Aunt She and Qi Xuan didn't know what had happened, but they immediately went to find wine and a clean handkerchief.

"Now you must be thinking, it's okay, the cocoons don't hatch that quickly, as long as they are cleaned in time," Ji Fengyao said contemptuously, holding a jade bottle in her hand and looking at the insects that had suddenly grown several sizes larger.
