After listening to Jiuji's description, Chen An couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking of the Gu box he had dug up under the old banyan tree outside the house.

He had a bad guess in his mind, suspecting that Jiuji's grandmother was infected by a poisonous insect.

"Husband?"

Seeing that Chen An didn't say anything after hearing what she said, but just frowned as if he was thinking about something, Jiuji raised her little face, looked at him and called out softly.

Chen An calmed down after hearing the voice and told Jiuji about how he had dug up the Gu box under the banyan tree in front of the house, as well as his own guesses.

Jiuji's face turned pale after hearing this. She was terrified and asked, "Grandma has been bewitched?"

What she was afraid of was not that her grandmother would be controlled, but that she would be hurt as a result.

"Husband, what should we do now? We have to help grandma!"

Jiuji's pretty face, pure and lustful, was full of worry.

Chen An only has a high level of cultivation and great strength, but his knowledge is very limited. It can be said that he knows almost nothing about poisonous insects, and for a moment he didn't know how to deal with this matter.

Facing Jiuji's pleading eyes, he could only say, "Let's go to your sister Xiao and discuss this with her."

Xiao Qingyue has lived for nearly a thousand years and was the former leader of the Tiandi Sect. His knowledge far exceeds that of ordinary people.

If you discuss this with her, you may be able to find a solution.

Soon, Chen An brought Jiu Ji through the wall to Xiao Qingyue's room.

At this time, Xiao Qingyue was sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing. After sensing Chen An and Jiuji teleporting over, she slowly opened her beautiful eyes and asked in confusion: "Husband, Sister Jiuji, what are you doing?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of the naughty ways Song Huaying had told her about before. She thought that Chen An wanted Jiuji to serve him together with her, and the cold noble lady's face suddenly flushed.

Chen An had no idea that she was thinking about all these things, and he came up to her with a serious face and said:

"Qingyue, I have some suspicion that Jiuji's grandmother was poisoned by someone, but I don't know much about poisonous insects. Do you know anything about them?"

Didn’t you come here to play some naughty tricks on me... Xiao Qingyue felt a little disappointed.

Soon, she frowned slightly, worried about Chen An's guess.

She asked Chen An and Jiu Ji to sit on the bed together, and said to them: "I do know a little about Gu worms."

"In the past, there were three demon sects in the Shanhai area, namely the Hehuan Sect, the White Lotus Sect, and the Yin Sect."

"As for the evil sect Yin Clan, the disciples there practice some extremely dark magic. There is a hall in the sect called 'Gu Hall', which specializes in learning magic related to poisoning."

"When I was still the Saint of the Tiandi Sect, I participated in the campaign to wipe out the Yin Sect and fought against many Gu cultivators."

"These Gu cultivations have many Gu insects, including the love Gu that can control the lust of living beings, the anger Gu that can make living beings irritable and easily angered, the illusion Gu that can make living beings hallucinate, the anti-Gu that can make living beings fall into a state of confusion where they can't distinguish between friend and foe, and the corpse Gu that can control corpses."

"Among them, the one that impressed me the most was the corpse insect."

Corpse Gu?

Hearing this, Jiuji's face turned even paler and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

Thinking back on Jiu Huayu’s weird behavior last night, it really feels like a lifeless corpse.

"Don't worry, grandma definitely isn't poisoned by a corpse."

Chen An noticed the worry in Jiuji's eyes, reached out and held her in his arms and comforted her in a gentle voice.

Unfortunately, Jiuji's worries were not relieved at all.

She was very confused now, and looked at Xiao Qingyue with worried eyes and asked, "Sister Xiao, what is so special about the corpse Gu? Why did it leave such a deep impression on you?"

Xiao Qingyue hesitated and did not rush to answer her question.

But after thinking about it, he finally said truthfully: "The reason why the corpse insect impressed me so much is that it can control the corpse to move as if it were alive. It looks no different from a living person, not like a corpse at all."

"The parasitic poison inside the corpse will continue to eat away at the flesh and blood of the corpse, slowly growing stronger until its body has completely taken over the entire corpse. It will then break through the remaining skin and transform into the corpse's original appearance."

His expression was dull, his limbs were stiff...After hearing these eight words, Jiuji's heart sank to the bottom.

That’s right.

They all match up.

The scene of her grandmother Jiu Huayu suddenly sitting up from the bed in the middle of the night last night exactly matched those eight words.

Moreover, she also heard the sound of flesh being eaten and torn from her grandmother's body.

"No, grandma won't die..."

"I'm overthinking, I must be overthinking..."

"No, I want to go see grandma!"

Jiuji couldn't sit still any longer, so she immediately stood up and rushed to Jiuhuayu's room.

Neither Chen An nor Xiao Qingyue stopped her, but followed her because they also wanted to know the truth of the matter.

“Crack—”

Jiuji pushed open Jiuhuayu's door, walked in hurriedly and shouted, "Grandma, I..."

As soon as she said this, she stopped.

It was the scene before her that made her freeze in place.

Jiu Huayu, who looked completely normal before going to bed, was now standing motionless beside the bed like a puppet. A wriggling lump appeared on the face of the beautiful mature woman, and a very subtle sound of flesh being gnawing came from the lump.

"No! That's not true!"

Jiuji, who had reacted, screamed out in excitement.

The noise was so loud that the wives and daughters in other rooms were awakened and came out of their rooms.

Seeing that Jiuji was a little emotionally broken, Chen An directly used a sleeping spell on her, making her fall into a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.

For a moment, he wanted to make Jiuji fall into a complete sleep, then use the amnesia technique to erase her memory, and take her directly back to the Fengling Yueying Sect to pretend she had never been to the demon world.

But on second thought, he felt that it was unfair to deprive Jiuji of her right to know, so he just used sleeping aids to ease her emotions.

"Husband, what happened?" Shen Qingyi's voice was heard outside the door.

The alarmed wives and daughters did not enter the room without permission, but stood outside the door and asked politely.

Chen An said to them, "You all go back to your rooms, I'll talk to you after I'm done."

"Yeah, we got it."

Shen Qingyi responded and returned to the room with her sister and daughters.

After setting up a soundproof array to completely isolate the sound in the room and using the immobilization technique to immobilize Jiu Huayu, Chen An looked at Xiao Qingyue and asked:

"Qingyue, can you tell what's going on with Jiuji's grandmother now?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, she must have been controlled by the corpse insect. I'm afraid Jiuji's grandmother has already died..."

Xiao Qingyue said with some displeasure.
