Five black and red centipedes, each about the thickness of a little finger, emerged from the nostrils, ears, and mouth of the fallen guard.
Even though Lin Wanqing didn't know anything about poisons, she could tell that all five centipedes were highly venomous.
He was so frightened that he took a few steps back, afraid of being bitten by the centipede, and hurriedly ordered the guards to kill all of them.
Once Lin Wanqing calmed down, she realized that the person seeking an audience was demonstrating their Gu technique to her.
Lin Wanqing had only seen Gu magic in novels in her previous life, and it seemed more like a terrifying magic trick to her. She never expected to actually see it with her own eyes today.
"Please come in quickly!"
Lin Wanqing would never let such a talented and extraordinary person slip by.
She then learned from Gao Hongyuan everything Su Ruojin had done in Xiaoyue, and that the new emperor of Xiaoyue was actually the bastard child Su Ruojin had brought back. How could Lin Wanqing not be furious?
Why is Su Ruojin so lucky? She just picked up a child who turned out to be the prince of Xiaoyue who had been abandoned among the common people.
Shouldn't this kind of drama happen to her, the reborn female protagonist?
Lin Wanqing increasingly felt that Su Ruojin was her nemesis!
However, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Given the grudge between Gao Hongyuan and Su Ruojin, Lin Wanqing felt even more at ease using Gao Hongyuan.
Having witnessed Gao Hongyuan's Gu techniques, Lin Wanqing no longer doubted his abilities.
Especially after Gao Hongyuan explained the power of the Demon Gu King, Lin Wanqing immediately found a place to raise him.
She would do her best to find whatever Gao Hongyuan wanted for him.
But now, Lin Wanqing has no time to wait for Gao Hongyuan to raise the Demon King.
"Gao Hongyuan, I remember you once said that you could bring the Demon King into the world ahead of schedule. Now is the time."
Gao Hongyuan paused for a moment, then replied, “Your Majesty, I can indeed make the Demon Gu King emerge ahead of time, but it requires the blood of a thousand people. Moreover, because it emerges ahead of time, its attack power will be greatly reduced, and the time it takes for a person bitten by it to produce a child Gu will change from the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to the time it takes to burn an incense stick.”
A thousand people!
She happened to have one.
"Gao Hongyuan, I can give you a thousand men, but how can you prove that you can make the Demon King appear in the world?"
Although she had witnessed Gao Hongyuan's Gu techniques, this Demon Gu King was something he himself had mentioned, and Lin Wanqing had never actually seen it with her own eyes.
Gao Hongyuan thought for a moment, "Then please come with me alone, Queen. I will prove it to you. Please don't be afraid."
After saying that, Gao Hongyuan turned and went into the house.
Alan, who had come with Lin Wanqing, was a little worried and softly called out, "Your Majesty."
Lin Wanqing shook her head at Alan, indicating that there was no need to worry. Gao Hongyuan could not deal with Su Ruojin without her help as the Queen of Beili, and it was impossible for him to harm her.
Moreover, Gao Hongyuan had already taken poison in advance to gain her trust, and he needed to take an antidote every month.
Based on this alone, she wasn't worried about what Gao Hongyuan would do to her.
After Lin Wanqing entered the room, Gao Hongyuan gently closed the door. "Please wait here, Your Majesty."
Gao Hongyuan then lifted the curtain and went into the inner room.
A short while later, he dragged out a little girl of about eleven or twelve years old whose hands and feet were tied and whose mouth was gagged.
The little girl looked terrified. Seeing Lin Wanqing, tears streamed down her face, and she made muffled sounds, clearly pleading for help from Lin Wanqing.
Lin Wanqing was not surprised at all when a little girl suddenly appeared in Gao Hongyuan's room.
This little girl was originally someone she had captured for Gao Hongyuan.
Gao Hongyuan was seriously injured and needed to raise the Demon Gu King, which required the blood of his child to nourish him.
However, now that he is in Bei Li, he no longer limits himself to boys; any boy or girl is acceptable.
