Chapter 279 Killing the Blood Gu Worm!
"Is this a girl from the Pei family?"
When Li Qingluo saw a familiar-looking woman being brought up, she instantly remembered seeing her at the Pei family's residence.
Not only that, Zaina and the Blood Gu Worm were also brought along.
Li Qingluo saw that the blood worms in the glass bottle suddenly became unusually active.
Although it was still just wriggling inside the bottle, its speed had become extremely fast.
It's as if something outside is causing it uncontrollable excitement.
If it weren't for the cork, it probably would have snatched the bottle and run out!
Zhuiyu: "Miss, this is the fifth daughter of the Pei family. She is Pei Sanlang's cousin, who shares the same grandfather."
Li Qingluo did indeed remember that she was the one who often followed Pei Si Niang; it turned out she was Pei Wu Niang.
"How did she get kidnapped too? Pei Si Niang has now been appointed as a concubine. How can you so blatantly kidnap a Pei family girl? If she disappears without explanation, how can she possibly survive if she goes back?"
Zhuiyu chuckled: "Girl, she won't live to go back."
After saying that, he took a small bowl and a knife, squatted down next to the unconscious Pei Wuniang, and stabbed her wrist to bleed her.
Li Qingluo's eyes widened, and she turned her head away.
In that instant, she inadvertently met Pei Sanlang's gaze.
Seeing Pei Sanlang looking at her with sorrowful eyes, Li Qinglu felt as if something was suddenly stuck in her chest.
However, she did not run away.
She stared at him even more sharply, her eyes seeming to say: Even if she is your sister who shares a room with you, are you just going to watch her and do nothing?
She knew that if he were willing to say something, Pei Wuniang might not die.
Pei Qinghong was struck hard by her gaze, and in the end, he could only lower his eyes helplessly.
After Zhuiyu bandaged up Pei Wuniang's wound again, Li Qingluo turned her gaze back to her.
She watched as Zhuiyu fed a bowl of blood directly to the unconscious Duke Pei.
Duan Rongshi stared intently, and after a long while, the old Duke Pei did not react. Then, staring at the blood worm, he suddenly had a whimsical idea and asked Zhuiyu to feed the remaining blood drops in the bowl to the blood worm.
Upon hearing this, Pei Sanlang's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he cried out in panic, "No!"
"Prince Su, you can't do this—!"
"If we act so rashly, there will be immeasurable and unbearable consequences!"
Prince Su: "Oh? So that means I have no choice but to do this?"
"Chasing the Rain".
Zhuiyu quickly stepped forward, opened the bottle, poured in the blood droplets, and then swiftly put the bottle back in.
Pei Sanlang, panting heavily, watched this scene in horror, but was powerless to stop it.
When the blood worms tasted fresh blood, especially the blood of the Pei family's daughter, they danced even more joyfully.
It's a pity there's no big bucket to release it and make it grow bigger, so it can only writhe wildly inside the glass bottle, and its originally pink body gradually turns into blood red.
Even Pei Sanlang couldn't help but widen his eyes.
The glass bottle creaked, and Li Qingluo realized something was wrong: "Be careful, it might break..."
Before she could finish speaking, the glass bottle indeed shattered into pieces with a loud 'bang'.
Prince Su raised his arm and nimbly turned around, completely shielding Li Qingluo in his arms, and used his sleeve to deflect the flying shards of glass.
The shard flew past the back of his hand, leaving a scratch.
Blood gushed out instantly and fell to the ground.
Although Pei Wuniang was still unconscious, a lot of blood had been spilled on the ground when she was bled out, so the stench of blood permeated the surroundings was extremely strong.
The blood worm fell out of the glass bottle.
Not only was it unharmed, it also began to writhe wildly on the ground.
Perhaps because it wasn't in the water, its body didn't swell up as quickly as it had before; instead, it arched its body like an earthworm, trying to move towards the bloodstains on the ground.
Duan Rongshi frowned and looked at the old Duke and Zaina with Li Qingluo, only to find that the two of them still did not react.
Pei Sanlang stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "Wait...wait a little longer!"
He didn't believe that doing so would lead to anything major as he had predicted.
The blood worm crawled on the ground and then suddenly went limp.
It just opened its mouth, as if it had completely dried up, limp and motionless.
However, at that moment, Zaina suddenly began to tremble all over. Soon, she fell off the chair and slid to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably and even foaming at the mouth...
But upon closer inspection, Li Qingluo cried out in fright, "Insects! Insects!"
What Zaina vomited wasn't white foam at all.
It was basically a bunch of white worms!
The insects were still wriggling frantically on the ground, but gradually, as Zaina quieted down, they all died.
Zaina opened her eyes, and her eyeballs moved.
She seemed to have fully woken up. After turning over and seeing everything clearly, she suddenly pounced on the blood worm that had been lying motionless on the ground.
Zaina grabbed the blood worm and was about to put it in her mouth when Duan Rongshi immediately shouted, "Stop her!"
Zaina had already stuffed half of the blood worm into her mouth when Zhuiyu, Lengdian, and the Shadow Guard pounced on her and pressed her to the ground.
Zhui Yu grabbed the blood worm by the tail.
However, the blood worm had already been swallowed halfway, and when it touched Zaina's saliva, it instantly showed signs of life again.
Zhuiyu could only suppress her nausea and quickly pull the blood worm out.
With a 'glug', the slippery body of the blood worm slid uncontrollably down Zaina's throat—
It looked like they were about to completely lose their grip on the rain.
Without hesitation, Li Qingluo stepped forward, pulled out a dagger, and slashed her palm, letting the blood drip onto Zaina's mouth.
Zaina suddenly stopped moving.
Everyone held their breath as they watched this scene unfold, as Zhuiyu slowly dragged the blood worm out...
To everyone's surprise, the blood worm actually came back to life and began to writhe wildly in Zaina's mouth. It grew rapidly inside her mouth, quickly blocking her entire mouth, and even her throat appeared to swell.
Zaina opened her eyes wide in pain, her eyes bloodshot and filled with tears, on the verge of suffocating, but Zhuiyu just couldn't pull the thing off.
Without hesitation, Li Qingluo used her bleeding hand to take the blood worm's tail from Zhuiyu's hand!
Sure enough, the blood worms became even more frenzied, their entire bodies turning increasingly red, to the point of being almost black.
Li Qingluo even felt that the blood worm was sucking her blood along the wound!
Li Qing swiftly and decisively severed the blood worm's tail with his dagger.
The blood worm instantly went limp.
Then, with a 'whoosh,' it began to pour out of Zaina's mouth—a pool of pus and blood.
Li Qingluo was disgusted.
Together with Zhuiyu, they quickly retreated. Prince Su had already arrived, and Li Qingluo bumped into his chest as she stepped back.
She quickly looked up and met Prince Su's gaze. Sensing his anger, she immediately said, "The situation was urgent just now, and I made a decision without informing Your Highness. Please forgive me!"
She hadn't expected that the blood worms would be so easily killed.
One stab and he was completely dead.
Duan Rongshi knew this wasn't the time to argue with her, so he simply glared at her fiercely: "Li Qingluo, are you looking for death again?"
After his fierce and menacing outburst, he grabbed her hand and quickly wrapped it tightly around her palm with his torn sash.
However, Li Qingluo only then realized that he was also injured.
"Your Highness! Your injuries!"
She recalled the shards of glass from earlier. Could it have been from that time?
Li Qingluo was always protected by Prince Su, so she wasn't really an ungrateful wretch.
He then followed suit, tearing his own sleeve and bandaging Prince Su's wound as well.
Others: ...
Pei Sanlang suddenly shouted, "Great-Grandfather!"
Suddenly, the previously motionless Duke Pei turned his head and coughed up a mouthful of thick, dark blood!
Then he slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes were clear.
"Where...where is this?"
"Who...are you...?"
His gaze suddenly fell on Zaina, and his expression instantly became excited: "Za... Zaina..."
Zaina was also lying on the ground.
She was still vomiting large amounts of bloody pus. After she had vomited all the bloody pus in her mouth, she reached out and ripped out the skin of the blood worm.
Zaina then looked up at Duke Pei.
She crawled over: "Pei Lang..."
The two held hands tightly.
The old Duke Pei pulled her close, their foreheads pressed tightly together: "I never expected you to be as radiant and beautiful as ever... as you were back then. But I've grown old..."
Duke Pei reached out and tenderly wiped the blood from Zaina's chin, but as he did so, he noticed his own hands were already wrinkled and bruised, and sighed.
Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi exchanged a glance. What was going on?
I feel like the old Duke Pei has changed!
She and Prince Su walked over.
Duan Rongshi: "Old Duke Pei, do you still remember what happened to you?"
Duke Pei frowned and asked him first, "Who are you? How did I get here? And why did you hang my third son up?!"
"And Zaina... what exactly happened just now?"
It seems he still recognizes Pei Sanlang.
However, he did not know Prince Su.
But that's not surprising.
It's not surprising that he imprisoned himself in the Duke of Pei's mansion for over thirty years and never saw Prince Su.
However, his sudden and complete awakening made it seem as if he was unaware of his previous illness.
Was it because the blood worm died, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood?
Pei Sanlang was also shocked to see this scene.
"Great-grandfather...you, are you really alright?"
Old Duke Pei perked up: "Of course—"
However, before he could finish speaking, Duke Pei suddenly clutched his chest, unable to utter a sound, and fainted again.
Zaina threw herself against his chest, crying out anxiously and sorrowfully, "Pei Lang! Pei Lang—"
Unable to wake the old Duke Pei, Zaina turned to Li Qingluo and Prince Su and kowtowed repeatedly: "Please, please save him, please save him quickly!"
"I will tell you everything you want to know!"
"Save him—Pei Lang!!"
