He would drain the blood from one child, and then Lin Wanqing would have someone send him another.
It's unclear why Gao Hongyuan dragged the child out at this time.
Lin Wanqing looked at Gao Hongyuan in confusion. Gao Hongyuan didn't explain and simply tore open the collar of his clothes.
While Lin Wanqing looked on in confusion, Gao Hongyuan took out a dagger and plunged it into his own heart.
Lin Wanqing was so shocked that she covered her mouth with her handkerchief. Was Gao Hongyuan trying to be wise by dying?
But what use is a dead person?
With the dagger plunged into his chest, Gao Hongyuan turned pale with pain, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
He gritted his teeth, pulled out a dagger, and applied a grayish-black plaster to his chest.
Lin Wanqing felt a foul, fishy smell in the air, and she quickly covered her nose with a handkerchief.
"Queen, if you... if you don't believe me, I'll... I'll show you the Demon King right now."
Gao Hongyuan was in so much pain that he had difficulty speaking.
Just then, Lin Wanqing saw that the wound on Gao Hongyuan's chest began to wriggle, as if something was inside his body.
She stared wide-eyed at Gao Hongyuan's wound.
As the wound continued to wriggle, a black worm, about the size of a baby's little finger, crawled out of Gao Hongwan's chest.
The insect's head looked a lot like a spider, with eight legs, but it also dragged a snake-like tail, wriggling as it squeezed out from Gao Hongyuan's wound.
The insect opened its mouth as if it were roaring. Although she couldn't hear it, Lin Wanqing could still see that it had a set of sharp teeth inside its mouth.
The thought of Gao Hongyuan keeping such an insect in his heart sent chills down Lin Wanqing's spine.
Is this little insect the Demon King that Gao Hongyuan mentioned?
The next second, Gao Hongyuan picked up the little girl, took out a dagger and stabbed it directly into her heart. With trembling hands, he gently placed the strange little insect into the little girl's heart.
The insect immediately burrowed into his heart.
The little girl was stabbed, but she didn't die. She just stared in horror as a small insect crawled into her chest.
Then the little girl's eyes widened, and she began to roll around on the ground frantically, clearly in extreme pain.
Lin Wanqing watched in horror as the little girl's body shrank at a visible speed.
When the little girl stopped moving, she had become a dried-up corpse, her eyes sunken deep, unable to close in death.
The little bug slowly crawled out of the girl's mouth. Gao Hongyuan reached out, picked up the bug, and placed it on the wound on his chest.
The insect burrowed back into Gao Hongyuan's chest through the wound.
Seeing this, Lin Wanqing felt nauseous and almost vomited.
Gao Hongyuan applied some more medicine to the wound, then took a few deep breaths, as if to calm the pain, and looked at Lin Wanqing with slightly unsteady breathing.
"Your Majesty, do you see it? This is the Demon King."
Lin Wanqing glanced at the dried corpse on the ground, suppressing her discomfort, and frowned slightly. "Gao Hongyuan, I have heard that Gu Masters raise Gu on their own bodies."
"But didn't you say the Demon King could bring the dead back to life, turning them into the living dead? This little girl was merely drained of her life essence; she wasn't brought back to life."
Gao Hongyuan understood what Lin Wanqing meant; she suspected that he had deceived her by using other Gu worms.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry."
As soon as Gao Hongyuan finished speaking, a strange "hehehe" sound came from the background.
Lin Wanqing looked in the direction of the sound and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
If she weren't afraid of revealing her weakness, Lin Wanqing would have pushed open the door and rushed out.
