Sang Huo was about to say something, but Su Diandian spoke first, "Your Gu worm looks so weak and high in protein, it'd be crispy if you fried it."
As she spoke, she even tried to go forward and pinch the insect.
But Sang Huo grabbed her and warned, "Be careful, that's a child of the Lover's Gu."
"Oh? That sounds impressive. Tell me more?" Su Diandian became interested.
If this fat worm is really strong, it might be able to send her back to her hometown immediately.
If that's the case, why would she return to Wuwang City?
Sang Huo frowned and pulled Su Diandian back two steps imperceptibly. "If the mother Gu of the Lover Gu doesn't die, the offspring Gu won't die either."
"Get to the point." Su Diandian was faintly excited. "Just tell me, can this thing devour me?"
"The offspring gu will locate the traitor and summon the gu mother to devour both of them who planted the lover gu."
As Sang Huo spoke, he turned his head and looked at her affectionately, "But don't be afraid, Dian Dian, you are not the person he described, and the Gu worms are useless to you."
Upon hearing this, Su Diandian took a deep breath, patted his shoulder, and looked at him with an indescribable expression.
She had just gone through the information left by the system, and this beautiful, blind madwoman was indeed one of her predecessor's spoils of war.
Tsk... A heartless father, a mother who was poisoned with Gu, and a man who was used as Gu after his body was broken.
The blind madman once said that his father's name was Wang (望, meaning hope) and his name was Yao (药, meaning medicine).
This "medicine" is the real thing.
From birth, Yao Wang was used as a human vessel to raise Gu worms, cultivating medicinal Gu for the people of Poison Doctor Valley.
Having lived with Gu worms since childhood, he barely learned to speak when he was almost an adult.
As innocent as he was, he had hardly ever seen a woman, let alone a woman.
Even after he succeeded his father as High Priest, he never left the place where the Gu were raised.
Until one year, an outsider broke into Poison Doctor Valley.
It was around that time that Yao Wang saw the scourge that was his predecessor.
At this time, Yao Wang was not blind yet.
The original owner of this body mischievously told Yao Wang that her name was Niangzi (娘子)...
Then came the later events of planting the Love Gu and the wedding where the former husband removed the Gu and divorced his wife.
After this ordeal, Yao Wang could not withstand the blow and was tragically devoured by the Gu worms.
His eyes were probably blinded by the backlash.
It's quite remarkable that he was able to draw that bizarre portrait of his predecessor by blindfolding.
Thinking of this, Su Diandian sighed, "Wen Sang, he really is your half-brother."
Sang Huo's expression froze, clearly indicating that he understood her words.
“Dian Dian…” There was a hint of hurt in his beautiful eyes.
Su Diandian sympathetically comforted him: "You're unlucky to have met such a scourge as my predecessor. How pitiful."
Upon hearing this, Sang Huo's expression hardened. "Meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me, both in life and in death."
"Uh..." Su Diandian gave him a thumbs up in her mind. A love-struck person is a love-struck person, there's no way to solve it.
Instead of wasting time rambling on about love-struck nonsense, you should be thinking about that damn Gu worm.
But when she turned to look at the medicine again, she unconsciously let out a "whoosh" sound.
Suddenly, a giant fat worm appeared behind Yao Wang.
This thing needs to be deep-fried, how many tons of oil would that require?
Tsk, after frying this thing, can the remaining oil still be used?
And this fat guy doesn't look very strong, does he?
"That's it?" Su Diandian raised her head to meet the fat worm's open mouthparts, and a bolt of lightning struck her.
I wonder if a bug struck by lightning is crunchy?
I'd like to try it.
After being struck by lightning, the fat worm collapsed to the ground, turning into a charred corpse the size of a finger.
"So weak, so disappointing." Su Diandian shook her head. "Yao Wang, is this the Gu Mother that can devour me?"
Yao Wang lowered his head and did not answer.
After throwing out a cloud of red mist, Sang Huo quickly grabbed Su Diandian and ran away.
"Hey, why are we running?" Su Diandian was full of questions. "Didn't I already kill the Gu Mother?"
Sang Huo hurriedly explained, "That is not the Gu Mother. That Yao Wang feeds the Gu with his own body. His physical body is the real Gu Mother."
Su Diandian was even more confused. "Then there's no need for us to run, right? Isn't this Yao Wang a living soul?"
"His soul has entered the Netherworld, but his physical body hasn't come. However, I really want to see the real Gu Mother."
Sang Huo didn't speak, but instead accelerated his escape.
Strangely, no matter how they tried to escape, the surrounding scenery remained unchanged.
It was still a gray, hazy expanse.
Moreover, Yao Wang's soul was always following behind at a steady pace.
"Stop." Su Diandian had no intention of running. "It seems we're trapped here."
"My wife... my wife..." Yao Wang was still murmuring softly.
But Su Diandian found him increasingly strange.
He seemed to be in good spirits at times, and not quite normal at others.
Intelligence also fluctuates back and forth between peaks and valleys.
Sang Huo's expression was grave. "He is summoning the Gu Mother."
"We can't get out, but the Gu Mother can get in?" Su Diandian realized the problem.
Sang Huo grabbed her waist and scooped her up in his arms. "Dian Dian, don't be afraid. I will definitely take you away from here."
"I'm not afraid, put me down." Su Diandian struggled. "I want to see what's going on with that Gu Mother."
What if, what if the Gu Mother really could devour her?
Even though she has failed too many times, one must always have hope in life.
The people of China never give up easily.
Once you've identified your goal, you should try every "possibility."
Su Diandian pushed aside the mulberry tree and turned to run towards Yao Wang.
Halfway there, he turned back to remind Sang Huo: "Wen Sang, if I succeed, please send a message to Lu Jian to thank him and tell him not to bother him."
But once Sang Huo realized what was happening, he rushed towards her: "Whatever you want to do? Live or perish, Dian Dian! Take me with you!"
This beautiful ghost is truly infatuated.
Su Diandian smiled slightly: "Okay, if we're lucky, we can go back to our hometown together, but you'll have to find a new job then."
"Change jobs?" Sang Huo asked, already standing next to Su Diandian.
Su Diandian winked at him, "That's right, what you're doing is illegal and a crime in my hometown. We can't do criminal things. Uncle Hat will invite you for tea."
Sang Huo couldn't understand what she was saying, but he just smiled and nodded: "Okay, whatever Dian Dian says goes."
As he spoke, his hand was already on her waist.
Sure enough, the vixen remained unchanged, always trying to take advantage of others.
Su Diandian didn't have time to worry about that right now; she was busy looking for the Gu Mother.
When the two approached Yao Wang, he still had his head down, and the silver ornaments all over his body jingled in the wind.
Sang Huo was a little nervous. He raised his sleeve to brush Yao Wang away, but Yao Wang did not respond.
"What happened?" Su Diandian bent down to look at Yao Wang's face, only to see him staring blankly at his feet.
At the same time, Sang Huo also discovered this.
Both of them looked down at Yao Wang's feet, where a writhing black shadow was gradually becoming clearer...
