"It must be ridiculous for a powerful cultivator like you to see me relying on such a stupid man, right?" The girl opened her pale lips, as if she could no longer suppress her emotions, and said this.
But Li Yirou understood the reason in an instant. Perhaps the young man had done something stupid just now, and her gaze made Xiaoyue mistakenly think that she was mocking her.
She learned that some people with low self-esteem are abnormally sensitive, and may develop groundless suspicions due to their low self-esteem, and may even lose their temper rudely.
But they were not friends, and there was no need to waste spirit stones to open the formation and chat with her because of such a small matter. She frowned, and Xiaoyue suddenly regretted her behavior. What was she complaining about? What right did she have to blame Brother Chen?
Li Yirou's face darkened slightly, and she patiently explained, "I just think he's bound to make you angry from time to time, which is very interesting."
Xiaoyue pursed her lips. She was very surprised by the answer. Her eyes suddenly felt a little sore. No one, no one understood her!
Seeing that she was silent and about to cry, Li Yirou didn't want to waste time with her anymore. "It's okay, I'll leave first."
Xiaoyue saw her waving her hand to remove the spell, "Wait!"
She opened and closed her mouth slightly, as if she was struggling with whether to speak or not, but the words she spoke were like a bomb dropped into the calm waters, "You still have a tracking insect in your body!"
Seeing the girl's eyes flashing with ferocity for a moment, Xiaoyue quickly explained, "It wasn't me! You already had it!"
The moment Li Yiru heard what she said, her scalp went numb. A poisonous insect had actually been planted in her body for a long time!
"The person who cast the curse will be able to find me no matter how I hide. Is that what you mean?" Li Yiru clenched her fists. Except for death, she would never be able to escape!
But since Xiaoyue has spoken, maybe there is a way. If that doesn't work, I can only force her to ask.
Xiaoyue saw her eyes fall on her, tinged with a bit of coldness, and smiled bitterly, "My cultivation is not enough, I can't get rid of this insect. It was the grass-po Gu in my body that told me."
"However, I can help you suppress it for a while." Xiaoyue felt a little sympathy in her heart. She was able to practice, but she still provoked enemies that she could not deal with, so she hid in this Western Realm.
Three blood-red bugs crawled out of Xiaoyue's palm. It was obvious that it was not easy to control these three bugs. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her already pale skin became even more like a dead person, with a blue color on her face.
Li Yirou felt uncomfortable watching this, but she was even more uncertain in her heart. She had paid so much, but she didn't know what she would be asked to give in exchange.
But she still pretended to take out a bottle of elixir from her bosom, poured out one, and handed it to Xiaoyue.
These bugs were so small and looked even more frightening than the poisonous bugs she had encountered along the way, because she could hardly sense any of their breath, just like that dead tree, which made her unable to perceive it. Thinking that this imperceptible thing had been in her body all the time, Li Yiru felt a surge of fear.
What exactly are the Gu insects? Could these be some kind of control system? Once they enter her body, she will lose consciousness and be controlled by Xiaoyue. Her mind is a little confused.
"This is an insect that poisons enemies, not an insect that puts poison on people. It's an insect that drives away poison." As if knowing that she had some concerns and that she was not feeling well, the girl still gave her a spiritual pill.
After Xiaoyue took it, the dark blue deathly look on her face disappeared. She explained, "After the Gu-enemy insect enters a body like yours, it will only seek out the Gu-enemy insect. After it is eliminated, it will die within a day. It will not have any other effects on people.
But my cultivation isn't strong enough, so they can only help you contain the tracking Gu, preventing it from taking effect. They also have a time limit, so these three should only last three years, maybe five at most."
"Don't worry, I swear on my inner demon that everything I say is true."
The inner demon is something mysterious and profound. Perhaps if a cultivator develops it, they will be tormented by the deepest fear in their heart every day, and ultimately die a miserable death. This can only be removed with the consent of the person to whom they swore the oath.
"So, the person who is poisoned will not know that he is poisoned?" This is too difficult to prevent. If Xiaoyue practices, she will definitely be extremely powerful.
"Then Gu makers like you are too invincible." She was a little envious. If only she could do it too, she would give one to anyone who bullied her.
Xiaoyue smiled bitterly, and actually saw a hint of envy in the girl's eyes. "It is said that if you use your spiritual sense to look inward, and comb through all parts of your body bit by bit, you can find the Gu worms. I think cultivators who are much more powerful than Gu worms will not be affected by them."
"Also, if someone has a Gu in their body and opens their left lower eyelid, they will see special lines on the bottom of their eye."
Li Yirou stepped out of the water mirror and looked at herself. Sure enough, there was a thin, light red vertical line, which was straight instead of being tortuous like a blood vessel.
She no longer hesitated and reached out to take the three blood-red bugs. She watched the bugs sink into her skin, but even though she saw it, she still felt nothing on her body.
"Master, this insect is so strange. Its aura is so weak that it's almost undetectable." Yihuo curiously examined the insect. Xiaoyue continued, "Once the tracking insect is restrained, the mark will disappear. It will reappear after the enemy insect dies."
Li Yirou saw that just as she said, the red vertical line began to fade.
"Thank you very much. Whatever conditions you have, I will do what I can." She looked pale and thin, and it took a huge amount of energy to move the insect. Maybe she wanted to leave that man but couldn't do it?
Xiaoyue smiled bitterly, as if she was recalling something and trying to figure out how to start. Finally, she said, "If you can leave the Western Realm, please help me find my people."
"Tribe members?"
Xiaoyue nodded, "Yes, we have a special bloodline, we are from the Miao Gu tribe, and only our blood can be used to raise and refine Gu worms, so if we are not careful, we will be captured by the cultivators and forced to refine Gu."
"I'm not from the Western Realm either. When I was a kid, it was probably around the time of the beast tide. My tribe might have used Gu to resist the beasts, but the monks discovered it and wanted to lock us up to make Gu worms. My mother ran desperately, holding me in her arms. The white skin on her mouth was cracked, and her panting was ringing in my ears, but she didn't even dare to stop and rest."
"But I was too young, probably only 3 or 4 years old. I don't remember why I ended up separated from my tribe or how I ended up in the Western Territory. I only remember that my mother told me not to tell anyone that I could make Gu."
"She pinched my shoulder and talked to me for a long time, but I was only concerned about the pain in my shoulder and my hunger. I was also scared by her appearance and kept crying. My mother beat me and made me repeat, 'I will never tell anyone about my Gu-making.'"
Xiaoyue smiled at this memory, but her smile was filled with tears. "She told me to go find someone and not to be afraid or cry. If I heard anyone talking, I should try to call for help and must survive and reunite with my people."
"But I thought, 'Mom is finally gone, she won't beat me today.' When I was found in the trap, I was still wrapped in clothes and sleeping, but Mom never came back."
Suddenly she clenched her hands together, her emotions agitated. "Why! Why am I so stupid? I didn't listen carefully and can't remember anything she said to me! I just cried and only remembered some insignificant things! I was so happy that she was finally gone!"
"In the end! I even…I didn't even keep my promise to her, which was not to tell anyone else about my Gu-making skills!"
