At the end of the month, barely suppressing his excitement, he furtively glanced at the person who had tormented him.
While enduring the torment, she secretly tried to take out the Gu worm she had hidden in her bosom.
Just as his left hand touched the bamboo tube containing the Gu worms, his entire arm was severed by a bearded thug.
"Aaaaaah..." At the end of the month, he was in excruciating pain, but unfortunately, he had lost his tongue, so he could only let out a shrill scream from his throat.
The bearded man chuckled coldly, swung his broadsword, and swiftly cut off Yue Mu's two eyes, blinding him.
"Waaah..."
At the end of the month, the pain was so intense that he was rolling around on the ground, and the small bamboo tube hidden in his chest rolled out.
The bearded man looked at the bamboo tube on the ground, feeling apprehensive. Who knew if it contained poison or something else?
He didn't dare to touch it easily, and then kicked it hard in the face at the end of the month.
"Ha, I knew it. You bastard, you're sneaking around like that, you're definitely up to no good. I'm really impressed with you. You do bad things as if you're afraid others won't know you're doing bad things. You're incredibly stupid."
Fortunately, he was alert and noticed something was wrong at the end of the month immediately.
At this moment, Sheng Lingwei's languid voice came from inside the house, "Big Beard, bring the bamboo tube in for me."
The bearded thug's expression changed. He... dared not take it, but he dared not disobey the princess.
Also, his name isn't Big Beard!
Well, he's not one to mince words, and he's all about climbing the social ladder. Since the princess calls him Big Beard, he'll be called Big Beard from now on!
Alas, it's a pity he'll have to take such a risk soon.
Hmph, so what if he's dead?
He'll still be a hero eighteen years from now.
The bearded man mustered his courage, picked up the bamboo tube, and ran quickly toward Sheng Lingwei, warning her, "Princess, please be careful, there must be something strange inside."
Sheng Lingwei gave the bearded man an approving look. "You are quite clever and quick-witted. Do your job well for me. If you perform well, I will grant you permission to go to Yucheng County with me."
"Princess, what do you mean?" The bearded man's eyes lit up, and his heart pounded wildly.
What man, standing at seven feet tall, doesn't have ambitions and aspirations? Who doesn't yearn for promotion and the appreciation of important figures?
Sheng Lingwei rolled her eyes at him disdainfully, "If you don't want to work for me, then go work in the mines!"
The bearded man panicked and hurriedly said loudly, "Oh no, Princess! I'm willing, I'm a hundred times willing! Hehe, I'm so happy, my brain is suddenly not working properly."
Sheng Lingwei waved her hand speechlessly, "Alright, you can leave now!"
"Yes, Your Highness, may you live a thousand years!"
The bearded man staggered out of the living room, his beard practically sticking up to the sky.
The other thugs clicked their tongues and cast envious and jealous glances at him. They also wanted to be appreciated by the princess, but they knew their own limitations.
The bearded man was ultimately not one of them.
Although he was also a henchman working for Prince Wu'an, he never killed anyone or punished any children. He would even do his best to take care of the children who were imprisoned.
Fortunately, he was well-liked, perceptive, eloquent, and skilled in martial arts, which allowed him to thrive in the villa.
Perhaps that's why he was valued by the princess.
That's fate!
...
In the living room.
Sheng Lingwei scanned the Gu worm in the bamboo tube with her spiritual power. It was blood red all over and had countless tiny tentacles on its body, giving people a dangerous and chilling feeling.
Forget it, it's better to destroy these dangerous Gu worms.
Xiuer has recently become interested in studying Gu worms, but with her meager supernatural abilities, she is really no match for these Gu worms.
She wouldn't trust her with this thing; at most, she'd give her a corpse of a Gu worm.
Thinking of this, Sheng Lingwei's eyes darkened, and her powerful mental energy instantly enveloped the Gu worm. It struggled violently for a few moments before completely losing its breath.
——
On the Yuezhi side.
As the Gu worm died, Yue Futing suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and in that instant he seemed to have aged more than ten years.
He couldn't help but cough and hurriedly tried to sense his supernatural abilities, but unexpectedly, his cultivation level regressed and his vital energy was severely damaged.
He... he's been turned on by the Gu worms.
The only two Gu worms that could cause him to turn against him were given to him at the end of the month, and to his good-for-nothing son.
It seems one of the Gu worms was killed. I wonder if it was the good-for-nothing son who had it, or someone else who had it at the end of the month?
After a while, Yue Futing had to accept the fact. He was shocked and found it hard to believe. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he went crazy in an instant.
"Aaaaaah! Who? Who on earth has killed my weapon of mass destruction, which I have nurtured for so many years? Who killed it? I will make you tear it to pieces..."
His roar, imbued with inner strength, resounded throughout the entire Yuezhi region.
Everyone listened intently to his outburst.
The women sneered, feeling extremely pleased with themselves, wishing they could clap their hands and cheer, exclaiming that he deserved it!
Most of the men remained expressionless, but in their hearts they shared the same thoughts as the women: they secretly prayed that Yue Futing would die of anger.
As for the few men, their brows were furrowed so deeply they were almost knotted together.
That's right, they are Yue Futing's lackeys.
Knowing full well that they are all in the same boat, sharing both prosperity and adversity, and now that they are enjoying the satisfaction that power brings, they don't want anything to happen to Yue Futing.
Yueyu Qian is here.
Yue Mingxi's mother, Yue Xiangxiang, was so excited that she slammed her hand on the table, making a loud banging sound.
"Hahahaha, Holy Maiden, did you hear that? Yue Futing is furious. He's finally got what he deserves, hahahaha..."
Yue Yuqian chuckled and shook her head. "Xiangxiang, calm down. There will be many more things that will make him furious in the future. Just wait and see."
Yue Xiangxiang nodded excitedly, her face beaming with a smile. "Hahaha, just thinking about Yue Futing getting his comeuppance makes me so happy I could fly."
The tone shifted, and Yue Xiangxiang's expression became worried.
"Alas, I wonder if my unreliable son has found Princess Chang Le yet?"
I was so annoyed by his time in the tribe, and now that he's suddenly gone, I miss him terribly. Holy Maiden, do you think I'm crazy?
Yue Yuqian smiled and reached out to tap Yue Xiangxiang's forehead, saying in a doting tone, "You, you're such a grown-up, yet you still act like a child. You're clearly spoiled by your husband."
Mingxi is no three-and-a-half-year-old child. Despite his unreliable nature, he is reliable and even surpasses his teachers in many ways.
Don't worry, he's definitely with Weiwei right now. Rest assured, with my Weiwei here, he'll be fine.
"Hehe!" Yue Xiangxiang patted her chest shyly. "Holy Maiden, since you've said so, then I have nothing to worry about."
After saying this, Yue Xiangxiang smiled proudly, "Holy Maiden, you're right. My Guangguang is so good. He really spoils me. He can't bear to see me suffer even the slightest bit, he can't bear to see me..."
(Guangguang, Yue Mingxi's father, is named Yue Guangguang.)
