Chapter 239 Agreement Reached
Modan explained these details in great detail. "For those who are physically weak or mentally unstable, the ghost worms are more likely to enter their bodies and grow stronger. These people are also easier to control."
Xiao Qing wondered if He Shu's behavior and subsequent death were related to the ghost insect.
If those people controlled He Shu with the ghost insects, and then set their sights on Ming Xiu... if that's the case, they're definitely after her!
Does Fu Mingyi know about these things?
Xiao Qing's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained calm.
She knew in fact that her situation was never safe.
Otherwise, Fu Mingyi wouldn't have bothered to have Mr. Wu teach her, especially since he only taught her life-saving skills.
However, over the past three years, she has also known that she has been well protected by Fu Mingyi.
If it weren't for the fact that it involved the He family and Mingxiu, Fu Mingyi probably wouldn't have given her any explanation and would have handled everything himself.
She still carried the letter Fu Mingyi had given her, and when she thought about the "truth" about He Shu's death that this guy had told her before, she felt a strange mix of emotions lingering in her mind.
However, now is not the time for sentimentality.
What are you planning to do?
"Let's talk about the ghost insects first. It's not easy for the Ghost Flower Clan to cultivate ghost insects. It requires a lot of rare flowers and herbs, and it takes a lot of effort and time. Even Xiao Yuan's two scorpions combined can hardly deal with a mature, top-quality ghost insect."
Mo Dan, full of sincerity, naturally told the truth, "However, the ghost worms in that girl's body are not very powerful. They have been nurtured for at most three years, so their toxicity is not enough, and the control they bring to the host is not very strong. If the other party wants these two ghost worms to really work, they need to nurture them in that girl's body for at least another one to two years before they can be put to use."
Xiao Qing understood that the other party had planted the worms on Mingxiu not for immediate use, but for future use.
Haha, leaving it for later, you've really got a good plan.
With half of the country now under control, these people aren't thinking about building up the nation and recovering lost territories; instead, they're making trouble for her maid. They're clearly not very shrewd.
"If this person wants to raise insects, he must get close to that girl. I plan to wait and see, and then follow the clues to find out what's going on."
Xiao Qing frowned. "What effect will it have on Mingxiu's body if we don't get rid of the ghost worms?"
She looked directly at Mo Dan. "Tell me the truth. I will never allow Mingxiu to be harmed. If she is, tell me now, and we'll think of another way. If you hide it from me now and I find out later, it's not just that the deal falls through; I will definitely not let you off the hook!"
Mo Dan smiled. "To be honest, it will indeed have some impact."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Ghost worms are mostly extremely yin insects. For strong and healthy men, or members of the Ghost Flower Clan, it's not too difficult to endure the ghost worms residing in their bodies; they just get used to it. Many members of the Ghost Flower Clan have worms growing inside their own bodies. However, women who have never been in contact with ghost worms may suffer from a cold constitution."
Xiao Qing was displeased upon hearing this.
For girls, having a cold constitution is not a good thing. In fact, some girls with severe cases of cold constitution may be unable to conceive for the rest of their lives.
This is no joke.
I disagree.
Mo Dan also knew that Xiao Qing would not agree.
He smiled and said, "There's another way."
Suddenly, he stood up, turned his back, shook his shoulders, and then stretched out his arms and shook them.
Xiao Qing heard a "whoosh" sound, like the wind, and was wondering what was going on when she saw Mo Dan lower his arm and his sleeve suddenly become much larger.
He turned around, leaving Mingxiu speechless with astonishment.
This was probably the first time Mingxiu had seen the so-called "bone-shrinking skill" in the martial arts world up close... Holy crap, he has such a divine skill, he actually has such a divine skill!
Even more amazing, his face seemed to have changed!
This... is a woman's face!
Xiao Qing's expression amused Mo Dan.
He smiled. "What do you think about putting that ghost worm on me?"
Xiao Qing made no attempt to hide her envy.
But she wasn't blinded by his amazing skill.
She glanced at Xiao Yuan, but he didn't seem to have any particular reaction.
So, has this become the norm?
Indeed, if Modan wanted to grab the person behind him, it would be more convenient for the ghost worms to be on him.
However, this involves the arrangement of many other things.
I have a bit of a headache.
There was a soft knock on the door.
Xiao Qing was startled when she heard Mr. Wu's voice.
"It's me."
"Come in." She breathed a sigh of relief.
Modan didn't seem to care. He simply rolled up his sleeves and sat back down at the table, his face open and honest. Although he was wearing ill-fitting clothes, he showed no sign of embarrassment.
To negotiate, you need to have some skills.
Mr. Wu glanced at Mo Dan and said to Xiao Qing, "This method is feasible."
"But if we find the person behind it, we can't give it to you directly. We can only help you ask the questions you need to ask."
After thinking about it, Modan realized that he probably couldn't take it all for himself.
However, after so many years of investigation, and with the Ghost Flower Clan about to be found, no one but him cares how his mother died.
This isn't some secret that can't be told, it's just his obsession.
It seems these people have little interest in the feud between the Tanghua and Guihua tribes.
He smiled and readily agreed, "I only want to know the truth about how my mother was murdered back then, and I don't care about the grudges between you."
After reaching a general agreement, they discussed a few more details, and the matter was settled.
Without further ado, they began preparing to transfer the ghost worms from Mingxiu's body to Modan.
Master Jueyan was still in Mingxiu's room.
According to Modan, several groups of people were watching Mingxiu's room. They didn't want to expose themselves, so they had previously sent two scorpions in at night.
Master Jueyan is currently in a coma because of the scorpion.
It was only by chance that Mr. Wu distracted another man in black that Mo Dan dared to take Xiao Yuan to see Xiao Qing.
So at this moment, Mo Dan and Xiao Yuan were making all the arrangements for crossing the insects, Mr. Wu was clearing out the sentries, and Xiao Qing was waking up Master Jueyan.
This matter does not require the involvement of Tianyin Temple, and Master Jueyan naturally does not need to be present.
When Xiao Qing returned to Mingxiu's room, Master Jueyan was scratching his head, looking somewhat bewildered.
She quickened her pace, "What does the master think?"
Jueyan looked over, unusually dazed. "Amitabha, this humble monk couldn't bear the sleepiness, I..." As he spoke, he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly looked towards the bed.
Thank goodness, the person is still alive.
He got up and hurried over, but didn't notice anything unusual.
Xiao Qing was very grateful for his actions, said a few more words, and politely saw him off. Not long after, Mo Dan and the others arrived.
Xiao Qing looked at Mr. Wu, feeling somewhat helpless.
She had already made it clear that she had fallen out with Fu Mingyi, and many of the things she had arranged recently had not been done through Fu Mingyi. But now that he was not here, she left Mr. Wu behind to help her without saying a word.
This taste...
