The two men's bodies were still convulsing, but their minds were gradually clearing.
He looked up at Sheng Lingwei with eyes full of fear, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
"Princess Chang Le, please have mercy and let us go. We can't tell, or we'll die."
"Princess Chang Le, we really can't say this. Please just end my life with one stroke. I don't want to be tortured to death by poison!"
Sheng Lingwei's face was gloomy, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent as she looked at the two men.
"Ha, you fools, you inadvertently revealed the truth long ago, but you didn't even realize it. You are truly the most stupid of all."
The two men's expressions changed drastically. When did this happen? They had no recollection of it.
Sheng Lingwei crossed her arms, her tone languid yet bloodthirsty.
"Who is this clan leader you speak of? What clan do you refer to as your clansmen? Furthermore, is your capture of my brother related to my mother, Yue Yuqian?"
The two men stared wide-eyed in shock.
They really underestimated Sheng Lingwei; they never expected her to guess the truth so quickly.
"Hehe." Sheng Lingwei sneered, and her right hand instantly conjured an ice sword. In the blink of an eye, the limbs of the two men were cut off.
Once again, the two people's shrill and painful screams echoed through the woods, a sound that was both pleasing to the ear and delightful to hear.
Sheng Lingwei sneered. It didn't matter if they didn't want to talk; she had plenty of ways to make them tell her everything they knew without reservation.
He then used his mental power to control the two men's brains, and they were now like idiots, with blank eyes and dazed expressions.
It was as if he had lost his mind.
Sheng Lingwei: "What are your names? Where are you from? Who is your clan leader? What brings you to the Northern Qi Kingdom?"
"My name is Yueqian, and I come from the reclusive family, the Dayuezhi."
“My name is Yuezhong. Our chieftain of the Yuezhi is Yue Futing. I have come to the Northern Qi Kingdom on the orders of the chieftain to capture the Holy Maiden’s two children and bring them back to the Yuezhi.”
Sheng Lingwei's fair and beautiful face gradually turned cold, and her sharp, icy gaze was filled with murderous intent.
"Speak! Who is this saintess you speak of? What is her relationship with the clan chief? What do you intend to do with her two children?"
"The saintess's name is Yue Yuqian, and she is the clan chief's granddaughter."
Because throughout history, the Yuezhi people have always been dominated by women, and the status of men has generally been suppressed.
In an effort to elevate the status of men, the clan leader rebelled against the former clan leader, who was also the clan leader's wife, more than ten years ago. She was imprisoned under the Five Thunder Pagoda, and her fate is currently unknown.
However, the clan leader was not legitimate and did not possess the family's secret techniques that a Great Yuezhi clan leader should have, so he sent us to capture the Holy Maiden and take her back.
Unfortunately, the saintess remained stubborn throughout the past ten years, refusing to hand over the secret technique.
The clan chief was furious, which is why he sent us to capture the saintess's two children, intending to use them to threaten her.
Sheng Lingwei narrowed her eyes, exuding a terrifying aura.
Well done! Yue Futing successfully drew her fire!
Sheng Lingwei asked a few more questions in detail. When she asked about the location of the Yuezhi, the two men's faces turned ferocious, their skin turned blackish-purple, and their blood vessels looked like they were about to burst.
He then foamed at the mouth, his body convulsed uncontrollably as if he were having an epileptic seizure, and then stared wide-eyed in terror before bleeding from all seven orifices and dying.
Sheng Lingwei and the other three looked at each other in bewilderment; this was the first time they had encountered such a situation.
It's not quite poisoning, and the symptoms look rather frightening.
Fang Xiuer stroked her chin and carefully observed the manner of the two men's deaths.
“Boss, my father once said that some people use Gu worms to control others. Their methods are evil and insidious. The symptoms of these two people do not resemble poisoning. I suspect that they have been infected with Gu worms.”
"Gu worms?" Sheng Lingwei's eyes narrowed, and she quickly extended her mental energy to scan the corpse, soon finding the trace of Gu worms in the heart.
They are devouring hearts at an alarming rate, a sight that sends chills down your spine and makes you feel nauseous.
Sheng Lingwei frowned and turned to look at Fang Xiuer. "Xiuer, you're right. These two people do indeed have Gu worms in their bodies."
Fang Xiuer's eyes lit up. "Boss, don't kill the Gu worms yet. I'm interested in Gu worms and I plan to collect them for research."
Sheng Lingwei's mouth twitched a few times.
"Whatever makes you happy, but these Gu worms are quite dangerous. Be careful not to let them burrow into your body."
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiuer looked somewhat frightened, but suddenly a brilliant idea flashed in her mind.
"Boss, please control the Gu worms first. My father has some knowledge of Gu worms. I can ask him to solve any problems I don't understand. I'll go find him now."
After saying that, Fang Xiuer took off running towards the edge of the woods.
Luo Xingyuan curled her lip, "Hmph, everyone has a father, look at her smug look."
Sheng Lingwei smiled and tapped Luo Xingyuan's nose. "You, are you envious of Xiu'er's father's knowledge of Gu magic, or what?"
Luo Xingyuan smiled sheepishly.
"Hehe, boss, I don't envy Xiuer at all. In this world, I have a father and brother who dote on me and love me. Xiuer only has one father. I am much happier than her."
"Alright, alright, stop showing off." Sheng Lingwei smiled wryly. Why were her sisters getting more and more childish?
On second thought, the fact that they have such a naive mindset proves that they are happy in this world, which is why their mindset is becoming more and more naive.
Speaking of which, the twelve brothers and sisters of the Bloodthirsty Black Rose, like her, were all orphans without parents in their previous lives.
They never experienced the love of a father or mother, nor the warmth of family. It's impossible not to feel regret about this lack of familial affection.
In this world, Anuan and Xiuer are able to have the love of their relatives, which can be considered as making up for the regrets of their previous life. She is genuinely happy for them.
I just hope that my other ten brothers and sisters can also have relatives who love and care for them, just like they do.
...
Before long, Fang Xiuer, with light steps, led Fang Ren'an and Robin Yue and his son into the woods.
The three men couldn't help but shudder as they looked at the two corpses, their limbs severed and their deaths gruesome.
Fang Xiuer tugged at Fang Ren'an's sleeve.
"Father, the Gu worms are inside the corpse. If you can't remove them, don't force yourself. Your safety is the most important thing."
Fang Ren'an snapped out of his daze and waved with a smile.
"Xiuer, go to the princess's side. Leave the Gu worms to your father. I guarantee I will remove them intact."
Fang Xiuer breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw her father's confident smile.
"Okay, Daddy, please be careful."
Fang Ren'an smiled and nodded, quickly took out a special medicine powder and a porcelain bottle, and approached the corpse without changing his expression.
After a series of operations, the two Gu worms were quickly put into the porcelain bottle.
"Princess Chang Le, Prince Jing, this Gu worm is called the Life-Devouring Gu."
It is specifically designed to control a person's loyalty. Once it involves revealing secrets that shouldn't be discussed, the afflicted person will have their heart devoured by the deadly poison, resulting in death. The level of suffering is unimaginable for ordinary people.
