The worms, with their sharp fangs, were controlled by Si Jin's flute music and soon gnawed off several pieces of flesh from Shang Deyi's body.
"Aaaaaahhhhhh—"
He screamed in pain, but because he was trying to harm Si Jin, and his hiding place was rather secluded, he couldn't call for help immediately.
He tried to run, but soon his whole body was entangled by swarms of dark, venomous insects.
Unable to move, even the strength to escape was completely drained.
Why?
Why?
Shang Deyi roared inwardly: Why did the Gu worm given by Shang Qinghan suddenly become uncontrollable?
These disgusting bugs were supposed to be biting Ling Sijin, so why are they attacking him instead?
This shouldn't be happening, this shouldn't be happening!
The demon of the White Moon Cult that everyone hates is Ling Sijin, and it is Ling Sijin who deserves to die, not him! It shouldn't be him!
"Help...help me...help me..."
Thousands of Gu worms attacked simultaneously, and in no time, they had reduced Shang Deyi, who was weeping and screaming in despair, to nothing but bones.
Then, under the control of the flute music, it obediently climbed back into the box.
A gentle breeze blows, and the moon and stars are few.
When the flute music stopped, everything returned to silence.
Apart from the white bones hidden in the grass, it was as if nothing had ever happened.
… …
Inside the bedchamber, Si Jin finished playing "Phoenix Seeking Its Mate" and, after receiving the photo of the skeleton taken by Xiao Yao, put down the bone flute with satisfaction.
She turned to Shang Linyuan and asked, "How was it? Did you like it?"
"It sounds nice." The little wolf from the Shang family didn't understand, and really thought that Si Jin was playing the flute to coax him, and his heart was warmed.
He pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
A moment later, recalling Si Jin's earlier flirtatious behavior, her eyes flickered, and she offered her suggestion.
"Jinjin, why don't you go take a bath first? When you come back, I'll finish the painting in front of you, okay?"
"OK."
Since Shang Linyuan had already bathed, Si Jin went alone this time.
Upon returning, I saw that Shang Linyuan had closed the doors and windows tightly and laid out the Xuan paper on his usual writing desk, on which he had just drawn an outline.
Add the strokes carefully.
Seeing him come in, she immediately asked, "Jinjin, do you know when I want to draw you and me?"
Si Jin didn't look at him immediately, but sat down and leisurely poured herself a cup of tea.
While drinking, he said, "Hot spring?"
"wrong."
"A brothel?"
"wrong."
"The bedchamber?"
"No," Shang Linyuan denied repeatedly. "I've drawn more now. Why don't you take another look and see what I've drawn?"
Si Jin put down her teacup, stepped over, and stood beside Shang Linyuan, observing him carefully.
"It's the hot spring."
"It's Tangchi." Shang Linyuan took the opportunity to come up behind him, gently wrapped his arms around the cult leader's slender waist, and revealed with a smile: "Actually, you guessed right the first time. I said it was wrong just to trick you into coming here."
"Boring."
"Boring?" Shang Linyuan casually placed his pen into Si Jin's hand, his large, calloused hand grasping hers. "How about I teach you to draw? Wouldn't that be more interesting?"
A tingling sensation spread from his hands to his heart, and Si Jin's eyes brightened slightly: "That's fine too, please enlighten me, sir."
Shang Linyuan held his hand and sketched out the decorations around the hot spring pool little by little before finally starting to draw the two little figures on the edge of the pool.
He first drew himself, and after a simple sketch, he stopped drawing on the figure of "Si Jin" in the painting.
After thinking for a moment, he asked in confusion, "What was Jinjin's expression like that day? I can't quite remember."
"Could you please help me recall?"
Si Jin turned to look at him, her captivating peach blossom eyes mesmerizing: "How do you want to recall it?"
"Like this..."
After saying that, Shang Linyuan turned his head and kissed the person.
