Li Yijin did not know the origin of this statue, but she felt that it was more sinister.
After worshipping the statue, Granny Hong slowly stood up. She looked at Li Yijin with a smile, but the more she smiled, the more sinister and terrifying Li Yijin felt.
"What exactly do you want?" Li Yijin asked angrily.
“Most of the Li family members are good-for-nothings,” the witch said leisurely. “Only your brother Li Tianqi is different, and you are the sister he cares about most. As long as he has you in his hands, I don’t believe he won’t bow down.”
"You old hag, don't even think about using me to threaten my brother. I'd rather die than let you use me," Li Yijin said angrily.
"Heh, death?" Granny Hong hunched over. "Let me give you a piece of advice: never mention the word 'death' lightly in front of a sorcerer, or you'll regret it."
"You old hag, you old witch..." Li Yijin started cursing, "My brother will not let you get away with this, you're going to die."
"Your brother probably won't have a chance." Granny Hong grinned, her face as dry as tree bark. "Since I can't subdue you, little girl, I don't mind turning you into an insect worm to serve me."
"What, what are you going to do?" Hong Po raised the snake-headed staff in her hand, and the two eyes on the snake head on the staff emitted a green light.
As a faint green light surged forth, a small snake with two crowns on its head suddenly appeared.
The small snake swam its body and approached Li Yijin. Then, it flicked its tongue and sized Li Yijin up with a ghostly green light.
"Ah..." Li Yijin let out a high-pitched scream. Most women's first reaction upon seeing this thing would probably be to scream.
"Get it away from me, get away from me!" Li Yijin screamed and howled, waving her hands desperately, trying to scare the snake away.
But the more intense her movements, the more interested the snake became in her.
Suddenly, her body stiffened, a chill ran up her back from the pain, and she was instantly unable to move.
The little snake swam towards her.
"Don't worry, this thing is just entering your stomach and controlling you. You won't die anytime soon. I'll decide your fate after I deal with Ye Xingchen." Granny Hong laughed heartily, she was very smug.
As the snake crawled up her leg and onto her body, heading towards her mouth, Li Yijin turned deathly pale with fright.
She cried out, "Ye Xingchen, where are you? Please come and save me! I'm going to die if you don't come soon! If you can save me, I'll marry you right away, sob sob..."
Just as the little snake raised its head, about to lunge into her mouth, a gust of wind suddenly blew open the door, and several fallen leaves drifted in.
The few fallen leaves swayed gently, but a sharp aura emanated from them, instantly filling them with murderous intent.
With three soft whooshing sounds, the small snake was instantly sliced into several pieces by the falling leaves and fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a figure stepped forward and appeared at the doorway.
Judging from his figure, the newcomer was Ye Xingchen.
"Ye Xingchen, you're here?" Li Yijin was both surprised and delighted.
Did the heavens hear her cries? The moment Ye Xingchen walked in, he became Li Yijin's ultimate idol, someone no one could replace.
"Are you alright?" Ye Xingchen asked Li Yijin.
"It's nothing." Li Yijin tried to shake her head, but her whole body was stiff and she couldn't move at all.
Large tears streamed down her face.
"Don't cry, I'll get you out right away," Ye Xingchen comforted her.
Li Yijin stopped the tears welling up in her eyes and forced a smile.
"Release her. What does a little girl like her know? Even if you want revenge, you should target the Li family." Ye Xingchen looked at Granny Hong.
"Heh, I really thought you had connections everywhere." Granny Hong pointed her snake staff at Li Yijin.
The snake head on the staff had green eyes, and a green mist swirled around it. As soon as the green mist was released, Li Yijin would die instantly.
"The poison in my hand can kill anyone who touches it even a little bit," Granny Hong said coldly. "Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he couldn't save her. You dare to take another step forward and try."
"Alright then, just tell me what you want to do." Ye Xingchen compromised. It wasn't that he couldn't cure this strange poison, but he just didn't want the little girl to suffer like this.
"Drink this and I'll let her go." Granny Hong tossed a small bottle over her shoulder.
The bottle contained dark, murky corpse oil. Ye Xingchen frowned. "Are all you sorcerers this disgusting? Making people drink something refined from corpses?"
"Stop talking nonsense, drink or not?" Granny Hong's face hardened, and she brought the snake head in her hand a little closer to Li Yijin.
"Okay, okay, I'll drink it. Don't be impulsive." Ye Xingchen had no choice but to open the bottle, suppress his nausea, and drink the bottle of corpse oil.
Then he turned the bottle upside down and showed it to Granny Hong: "Look carefully, not a drop is left."
"Good lad, you've got guts and you're really devoted." Granny Hong grinned, but her snake staff never left Li Yijin's side.
However, when she touched Li Yijin's back, Li Yijin regained her mobility.
"Ye Xingchen, why are you so stupid? What is this? How could you drink it?" Li Yijin shouted angrily, "What if something happens to you?"
"It's nothing, just the Five Poisons Curse." Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "Five kinds of poisonous insects mixed with corpse oil, plus a blood curse, can make a person's body extremely poisonous and completely at their mercy."
"You know why you're still drinking? How could you be so stupid?" Li Yijin pouted and immediately burst into tears.
"Alright, stop crying. I had no choice. What would I have done if she hadn't hurt you?" Ye Xingchen comforted the little girl with a relaxed expression. "It's not pretty to cry. Let me finish dealing with things here first."
Li Yijin nodded gently, tears streaming down her face.
"I've already drunk that stuff, why aren't you letting her go?" Ye Xingchen frowned slightly when he saw that Granny Hong had no intention of releasing her.
"Heh, you are a master of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Although my Five Poisons Spell is powerful, I still have to be vigilant before the poison takes effect," Granny Hong said with a sneer.
"Aren't you being a little too cautious?" Ye Xingchen suddenly frowned, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
His face was pale, and cold sweat instantly streamed down his forehead. He gritted his teeth and raised his head: "Now that the poison has taken effect, can you let me go?"
"Hehe, that's more like it." Granny Hong laughed heartily, removing her snake staff from Li Yijin's hand. She said triumphantly, "So what if he's a Celestial Phenomenon Master? Under my Five Poison Gu, he still obediently submits, doesn't he?"
