Chapter 16 Invitation

There was no surprise in Yun Wuque's eyes. Perhaps he had already guessed the other party's question.

"One of the reasons why female mantises eat male mantises during mating is to have enough nutrition to give birth to offspring. When Diehua chooses to lay eggs, in addition to choosing a familiar smell, the parasite must also be healthy and have enough nutrition for it to give birth to offspring. It only has one chance. If it can't find a suitable parasite, Diehua will wait for death in a corner. The most likely reason why Zhang Quan was not parasitized is that his body is too weak. Diehua believes that he cannot provide enough nutrition for himself."

Wei Luobai widened his eyes in surprise, looking as if he had gained some knowledge. However, when it comes to the other party's weakness, perhaps everything has its traces.

After being captured by Jiuyou, Zhao Li knew that he was going to die and told the whole story. Because he was a dwarf, he was abandoned by his parents, but being abandoned was only the beginning of his miserable life. Dwarfs like him would be despised wherever they went, until that year he met a blind girl. The blind girl did not despise him for being a dwarf. Although she was often excluded because of her blindness, she advised Zhao Li not to care about other people's eyes.

Later, as they spent years together, they fell in love with each other and became sworn husband and wife.

In order to give his wife a good life, Zhao Li joined a traveling theater troupe. However, because he was worried that his wife could not take care of herself alone, he begged the troupe leader, hoping that his wife could work with him in the troupe.

The leader of the group was a little soft-hearted, so he agreed to the other party. This time, they came to the Holy Tomb City to perform and made a lot of money in just a few days. However, this was also the beginning of Zhao Li's nightmare.

When they arrived at the Holy Tomb City, everyone was shocked by the prosperity of the capital, so the team leader gave them a few days off so that they had time to bring some gifts for their families or to enjoy the atmosphere of the capital.

Zhao Li first took his wife for a walk. Although his wife couldn't see, Zhao Li told her everything he saw. After walking for a long time, Zhao Li was worried that his wife would be tired, so he put her in the inn and chose to pick some jewelry for her himself.

But when he returned to the inn, he found his wife being insulted. Zhao Li bit one of the men's thigh desperately, but he was hit on the head with porcelain by the man. When he woke up again, he found himself thrown on a mass grave outside the city, with his wife's body next to him.

When he was feeling discouraged, a masked man appeared beside him. The man gave him the butterfly flower, told him how to use it, and asked him to take revenge himself.

The reason why he chose Qianjin Pavilion was because the three beasts often went back and forth to Qianjin Pavilion, and the women in Qianjin Pavilion carried unique spices on their bodies, which allowed Diehua to accurately find the parasites.

As for the man who gave him the butterfly flower, even if he was being used by the other party, if he had not been thinking about revenge, he would have committed suicide to accompany his wife.

"Although the son was rescued, Commander Lu reported everything to His Majesty. His Majesty was furious when he heard about it. Now the situation of those three people is more terrible than death." Wei Luobai said schadenfreudely.

Diehua will choose healthy parasites, so to cure a short-term parasite, he only needs to make Diehua mistakenly believe that the parasite is no longer healthy. The simplest method is to poison it. As for long-term parasites, Diehua has already absorbed nutrients and started laying eggs. Yun Wuque only needs to raise a more powerful insect in the other party's body, let this insect eat Diehua, and then lead the insect out of the other party's body.

But speaking of last night's treatment, if Lu hadn't been so tough in his attitude, he wouldn't have gotten the medical fees so quickly. Now that these three families have been punished by His Majesty, if he didn't get the medical fees yesterday, he would probably never get them again.

Thinking of this, Yun Wuque touched the banknote in his arms, nodded in agreement and said, "Commander Lu is indeed upright and honest, and a good official."

“Hahahaha.”

I don't know what part of Wei Luobai's funny bone this sentence hit, but he laughed so hard that he held his stomach.

Yun Wuque blinked in confusion, and the pearl earrings drew a beautiful arc in the air as he moved.

Looking at the pearl earrings in front of him, Wei Luobai touched his chin, feeling itchy for some reason.

Wei Luobai couldn't figure it out and decided not to bother about it anymore. He looked at the young man in front of him and said, "Wu Que and I hit it off right away. If Wu Que doesn't mind, why don't you stay at my house for a while?"

Yun Wuque glanced at the other party, and just when Wei Luobai thought that the other party would reject him, Yun Wuque nodded.

Yun Wuque’s idea was very simple. He would naturally not miss the opportunity to eat and drink for free.

However, when Yun Wuque followed Wei Luobai to the town government office, Wei Luobai's body suddenly stiffened, and then he turned around and ran. However, before he could take a few steps, he was caught up by a beautiful woman in just a few steps.

Wei Luobai, whose ears were grabbed, begged for mercy, "Mom! Be gentle! There are guests here!"

Mrs. Xia then noticed Yun Wuque standing beside her. She immediately let go of her hand and said gently, "Is this young man Luo'er's friend?"

Yun Wuque nodded obediently: "Hello, sister! My name is Yun Wuque, and Master Wei invited me to his home as a guest."

Madam Xia, who was called sister, smiled more genuinely, "Just call me Madam Xia." Then she turned to look at Wei Luobai, "The weather is hot, why don't you take Master Yun in quickly."

Wei Luobai was already accustomed to the speed at which his mother's expression changed. At the same time, he once again thought that it was the right choice for him to bring Yun Wuque home. Otherwise, because of the fact that he went to Qianjin Pavilion to watch Jiuyou catch the criminal yesterday, he would probably be lectured by his mother for the whole day.

"Wu Que, this way."

Wei Luobai brought Yun Wuque through the courtyard. The servants they met on the way greeted Wei Luobai warmly, which showed that Wei Luobai was a good master in daily life.

"My young master, you are finally back!" A boy of about sixteen or seventeen immediately ran over after seeing Wei Luobai.

"Xiao Lin is almost at the age to get married. Why don't you accompany me to Qianjin Pavilion next time?" Wei Luobai said deliberately, as if he could not see Xiao Lin's anxious expression.

"Young Master, please stop making fun of me." Xiao Lin was still young after all, and after hearing about Qianjin Pavilion, his cheeks couldn't help but turn red.

"Hahahaha." Wei Luobai laughed and said, "This is Master Yun, my friend. He will be staying in the mansion for a few days. Go and clean up the guest room closest to mine."

Xiao Lin had long been paying attention to Yun Wuque who was standing next to his young master, especially his pair of blue eyes which were impossible to ignore. After hearing the young master's instructions, he nodded quickly and went to clean up the guest room.

But before leaving, Xiao Lin couldn't help but look at Yun Wuque one more time. He had served the young master for five years, but there were very few friends who were personally acknowledged by his own young master.

It's not that his young master has bad relationships with people. After all, the only son of a general is someone many people want to get close to. But it is also because of this that it is difficult for Wei Luobai to make true friends. That's why he looked at this Young Master Yun a few more times.

"How long does Wu Que plan to stay in Shengling City?"

Wei Luobai got a white flour steamed bun from somewhere, and while eating it, he broke it into small pieces to feed the fish.

Yun Wuque shook his head, "I haven't thought about it yet."

"Then stay for a few more days, and I will take you to visit this Holy Tomb City." Wei Luobai said immediately.

Before Yun Wuque could answer, he heard Mrs. Xia's roar, "It turned out that you were the one who fed my baby steamed bread to death last time, why don't you put the steamed bread down to me!"

Wei Luobai threw the steamed bun away guiltily, grabbed Yun Wuque's arm tightly, and quickly fled the crime scene.
