"I never imagined that one day I would be defeated by a woman," Chen Jin said bitterly.
But at this moment, he was in excruciating pain in his internal organs.
He couldn't move; if he did, the poisonous insects would become more active, gnawing at him and causing him unbearable pain.
Yes...it's those...not that one.
That venomous insect feeds on human flesh and blood. Once it has food, it multiplies rapidly, reaching a terrifying number in a short time.
Only the owner of the poisonous insect can control it.
"If you don't treat me like a pretty face, maybe you'll feel better," Shen Ling said politely.
In her interactions with others, she was the epitome of a well-bred lady.
Her aloof and detached temperament makes her seem detached from the world.
From this perspective, it seems that Shen Ling did not scheme against the General just now, but was merely exchanging a few pleasantries with him as a princess.
"Please, General, go to the dungeon for a visit."
Shen Ling raised her eyebrows and smiled.
As for the soldiers who were infected, if they didn't want their general to be carried out horizontally, they should obediently go back and report.
Taking advantage of the crowd surrounding the Prince's Mansion dispersing, Gu Mu slipped over the wall into the main courtyard.
The mask and black robe were put into a box.
Then she changed into a python robe.
Just as all this was finished, Eunuch Cheng walked in.
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and he muttered to himself, "That was close, that was close..."
"When His Highness returns, we'll make those people pay."
Suddenly, Eunuch Cheng stopped in his tracks and exclaimed with delight, "Ah! Your Highness, you're back!"
Gu Mu nodded, and from the side courtyard next door, the sounds of singing birds could be heard.
Occasionally, it is accompanied by some offensive and obscene sounds.
Someone who came from a brothel could not possibly have seen the Regent in person.
The people arranged by Eunuch Cheng deliberately disguised themselves and dressed up to imitate the Regent.
It can be considered a complete performance.
However, whether it looks like it or not is no longer important.
Because those who are hostile to Gu Mu don't have much time left.
"Get them all out of here." Gu Mu waved his hand, the noise from the neighboring yard giving him a headache.
Eunuch Cheng nodded.
All those women were released without their knowledge; in their eyes, they had simply spent a month with the Regent.
But that person who imitated the regent... cannot be allowed to live.
Eunuch Cheng originally found a death row inmate, coerced and lured him with promises, and made him willingly become a pawn.
The promise is obviously impossible to keep.
"You enjoyed yourself for a month before you died, you should be content." Eunuch Cheng tightened the rope, watching the man impersonating the regent gradually stop breathing.
Dinner.
Gu Mu finally left the main courtyard.
He sat down at a table with the princess.
Shen Ling picked up a meatball and put it in Gu Mu's bowl: "Your Highness has probably been working too hard these days, you should eat something good."
Gu Mu took a bite.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The two tacitly avoided mentioning what happened that afternoon, and instead got together for a simple home-cooked meal.
Gu Mu discovered that,
The dishes prepared on the table were all his favorites.
He smiled and swept it all away.
That night, Gu Mu was half asleep when he was woken up by noises coming from the roof.
He was too alert; even if his lightness skill wasn't top-notch, he could detect the opponent as soon as they got close.
He wasn't in a hurry; he half-closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Sure enough, they found that a tile from the roof had been pried off.
Then, a strange fragrance filled the room.
Gu Mu used the internal energy in his dantian and discovered that the original owner's internal energy had reached a bottleneck and was difficult to increase further.
However, after the Yuan Shen Dan is compressed into a small dot, his internal strength will gradually increase as he continues to cultivate.
However, it is much slower than the Yuan Shen Dan (Primordial Spirit Pill).
Use your internal energy to force out the fragrance and prevent it from entering your body.
After an incense stick has burned.
The tiles were gently covered, and a figure climbed in through the window.
Even dressed in a night outfit, you can still tell she has a fantastic figure.
Dressed entirely in black, with his face covered.
But standing there, no one doubted that she wasn't an absolute beauty.
—She is the princess, Shen Ling.
If Ma Shishi had drugged him, he could guess that Ma Shishi's purpose was to use him to climb the social ladder.
But Shen Ling, in the middle of the night, drugged him and sneaked into his room. What was she planning to do?
Gu Mu squinted, his gaze following Chen Ling's figure.
She was seen rummaging through drawers and cabinets in the room, seemingly looking for something.
Gu Mu added the tiger tally to the system's inventory.
He had previously discovered that in addition to the unlimited storage of system items, there were ten slots at the bottom of the inventory where he could store non-system items.
The tiger tally was of utmost importance, so he kept it in his inventory.
He wasn't in a hurry at all. Whatever Shen Ling was looking for, it couldn't possibly be something important to him.
Shen Ling quickly opened the cabinet where he had kept the ghost mask and black robe that afternoon.
Then, I stopped searching.
Under the moonlight, he saw Shen Ling standing quietly in front of the box.
He stared motionlessly at the demon mask in the box.
It was as if the pause button had been pressed on my whole body.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Ling finally picked up the ghost mask from the box and held it in front of her eyes.
"Why?" Her voice was soft and very pleasant.
Gu Mu felt that if she could sing a lullaby to him, he would probably fall asleep very quickly.
However, given Shen Ling's hatred for the original owner, he transmigrated into the original owner's body.
