Xuan Yuanzhan was also surprised that Xuan Yuanpeng would do so much for him. He was moved, but also felt sorry for Xuan Yuanpeng's lifeless state.
"I've caught Long Jiaojiao. Mu Lingchen and the others will bring Long Jiaojiao to the palace soon. At that time, I'll ask my uncle to help him remove the curse."
Once the curse is lifted, he'll be fine, just like Ning'er.
Su Xuening and Bai Shi exchanged a glance, unsure how to tell Xuan Yuanzhan about Xuan Yuanpeng being afflicted by the puppet gu.
Zong Jiu wiped away his tears and asked, "Is Your Highness referring to that so-called Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang?"
“Yes.” Xuan Yuanzhan nodded and said, “At that time, I received a letter from my mother saying that he had been poisoned by a curse. Just then, that woman Long Jiaojiao came to the North, so I captured her.”
Upon hearing that Long Jiaojiao had gone to the northern lands, Su Xuening's eyes twitched involuntarily.
She really knows how to chase after people; she even chased them all the way to the north.
Fortunately, Xuanyuan Zhan did not have such thoughts.
Upon hearing this, Zong Jiu felt a glimmer of hope: "This puppet gu must have originated from that witch, right? With her around, does His Majesty have a chance to cure the gu?"
Zong Jiu looked at Su Xuening and Bai Shi as if pleading for help.
Bai's eyes were red from crying, and she didn't reply.
Su Xuening glanced at Xuan Yuanzhan and quickly comforted him, "Let's ask Uncle-Master and Master Daoyi after Long Jiaojiao enters the palace."
Aside from my uncle and Master Dao Yi, no one else understands this Gu worm. Perhaps with Long Jiaojiao around, there really is a way to cure this puppet Gu.
As the group was talking, they suddenly heard the sounds of fighting outside.
"Witch, let him go!"
A sudden, sharp shout startled Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Xuening in the inner hall.
The two exchanged a glance, and Su Xuening said urgently, "It sounds like my martial uncle's voice."
Xuanyuan Zhan's brows furrowed in tension.
My uncle called her a demoness. Damn it, that woman Long Jiaojiao has escaped!
The two of them immediately ran out.
Bai wiped away her tears and ran out to check the situation.
Zong Jiu also wanted to go out, but he was worried about Xuan Yuanpeng, so he stayed by Xuan Yuanpeng's side.
Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Xuening ran outside and saw You Yi and Long Jiaojiao fighting in mid-air, with Long Jiaojiao holding Su Yun'an in her arms.
"Yun'an!" Su Xuening was terrified when she saw Su Yun'an being captured by Long Jiaojiao.
Xuanyuan Zhan also looked annoyed.
Damn it, how did that woman Long Jiaojiao get away?
Ye Yun had been drugging her with sleeping pills, but had he forgotten to do so these past few days?
Ye Yun hadn't forgotten; he knew how powerful Long Jiaojiao was, so he would give her a sleeping potion every few days without fail, determined to keep Long Jiaojiao asleep forever.
Long Jiaojiao had indeed not woken up before, probably because he had taken too much sleeping pills and they were no longer effective, so I don't know why he wasn't drugged this time.
In fact, Long Jiaojiao had already woken up when Xuan Yuanzhan and his men attacked the city, but she knew that with Xuan Yuanzhan there, she couldn't escape, so she kept waiting for an opportunity.
She actually managed to seize the opportunity, not only escaping on her own but also taking a hostage.
Long Jiaojiao is highly skilled in martial arts. If You Yi were to fight her one-on-one, he could hold his own for a few rounds. However, now that Su Yun'an is in her hands, You Yi is unable to fight her with all his might, and thus he has been at a disadvantage for a time.
Bai Ying, Ye Yun, Ye Feng, and the others who followed behind originally wanted to step forward to help, but after trying several times, they found that they couldn't get involved in a duel between experts.
Pei Luo and Dao Yi, who were originally guarding Zhuque, rushed forward to help when they saw Su Yun'an being kidnapped by Long Jiaojiao.
Youyi, Peiluo, and Daoyi joined forces to deal with Long Jiaojiao, who was quickly overwhelmed.
However, she wasn't afraid and didn't fight You Yi and the others head-on. Instead, she grabbed Su Yun'an by the neck and said, "If you want him dead, then keep fighting!"
Upon seeing this, the three who were wandering around immediately dared not fight anymore.
Youyi glared angrily at Long Jiaojiao: "Let him go! What kind of skill is it to take a child hostage!"
Long Jiaojiao wasn't falling for his tricks and didn't bother with his nonsense. She looked directly at Xuan Yuanzhan and said, "Xuan Yuanzhan, you've really caused this Holy Maiden a lot of trouble!"
As soon as she learned that he was in the north, she immediately ran there to see him. But he did the opposite; as soon as they met, he not only captured her but also drugged her with sleeping pills every day, leaving her completely disoriented and unable to see the light of day for more than a month.
When she exerted her strength just now, her hands and feet went weak and she almost flew away.
Seeing that Long Jiaojiao was still choking Su Yun'an, Su Xuening turned pale with anxiety, but dared not utter a sound.
Because she knew that she absolutely could not provoke Long Jiaojiao now, especially herself, and she must not make a sound, otherwise it would definitely implicate Yun An.
Seeing Su Yun'an struggling to breathe from being choked by Long Jiaojiao, Xuan Yuanzhan cried out in distress, "Let him go, let's talk things over."
Long Jiaojiao looked excitedly at Su Xuening beside Xuan Yuanzhan and said venomously, "I can release this brat if you want me to, but kill Su Xuening for me and I will release him."
Originally, what she wanted was Su Xuening's life!
Upon hearing Long Jiaojiao's demand that he kill Su Xuening, Xuan Yuanzhan instantly flew into a rage: "I think you're courting death!"
Enraged, Xuan Yuanzhan raised his hand and struck Long Jiaojiao.
But Long Jiaojiao remained unfazed: "This holy maiden is not afraid of death. Anyway, with this kid as my scapegoat, I'll have company on the road to the Yellow Springs!"
As Long Jiaojiao spoke, she reached out and touched Su Yun'an's face: "This Holy Maiden thinks this boy is quite handsome, with delicate skin and tender flesh, which is very much to my liking. Even if he goes to the King of Hell's palace, I can still eat him up."
Anyway, Long Jiaojiao has no other hobbies, only this one: a fondness for men. This boy is a bit young, but he is still a handsome young man. She can use him after raising him for a few years. With this handsome young man by her side, she can die a romantic ghost!
Long Jiaojiao licked his lips, his eyes drooling over him, which gave Su Yun'an goosebumps.
This vixen has no shame! He's just a child...
Su Yun'an leaned back desperately, trying to avoid the witch's outstretched claws, but the witch's other hand was gripping his neck, and he couldn't move at all. He could only watch helplessly as the witch groped him.
"Ugh~" Smelling the strange stench on this vixen, Su Yun'an couldn't help but feel like vomiting, but his neck was being choked, so he couldn't vomit.
For the first time, Su Yun'an experienced a feeling of being worse than dead!
Seeing Long Jiaojiao desperately choking Su Yun'an's neck, Su Xuening quickly pulled Xuan Yuanzhan away.
She was worried that Xuan Yuanzhan had provoked Long Jiaojiao, and that Long Jiaojiao might actually hurt Su Yun'an.
Su Xuening finally couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Let go of my brother! You want my life, but I'll trade my brother for yours!"
Long Jiaojiao wasn't buying it at all, and sneered disdainfully: "Stop pretending to be so noble and righteous in front of me. I want your life. If you dare, stab yourself twice. If you dare, I'll release your brother immediately!"
