372 An Even More Perverted Person

When Xu Qing saw Qiao Yanhui retreat, she finally relaxed. She felt like she had just survived a disaster. Lin Hang’s meaningful glance before he left made Xu Qing even more certain that her guess was right.

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Yanhui didn’t blame Xu Qing for stopping him. Instead, he looked at the panicked Xu Qing worriedly.

Xu Qing took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Qiao Yanhui pulled Xu Qing into his arms and kept caressing her hair.

As Xu Qing listened to Qiao Yanhui’s strong heartbeat, she finally calmed down. “During this period of time, I learned that there’s a king of all Gu worms and it can control all the Gu worms in the world. It has a hard shell and is invulnerable to swords and spears. It can’t be drowned by water or burned by fire. Once it comes into contact with skin, it will reach the heart at the fastest speed. Be it medicine or internal energy, no one can stop it. After it reaches the heart, it will lay eggs, and that person will completely become the puppet of the Gu user. It’s not like other Gu worms, which leave traces and have a possibility of being cured. However, since ancient times, no one has been able to summon the Gu King. Moreover, once a Gu King appears, its power can even destroy an army.”

This information shocked Qiao Yanhui. “So you mean that Lin Hang wants to summon the Gu King?”

Xu Qing frowned. “I read the books Ying Zhiyao left behind. One of them recorded the method of summoning the Gu King and it’s a little similar to the move Lin Hang was about to use just now, so I asked you to come back just in case. However…” Xu Qing paused.

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Yanhui asked in confusion.

“According to the ancient books, the person who has the Gu King also has the Gu King’s abilities because he can’t be considered a normal person anymore. That person will be invulnerable, but you hurt Lin Hang’s body just now and his skin was lacerated…” This was what Xu Qing was puzzled about.

“Perhaps he was just bluffing.” Qiao Yanhui smoothed Xu Qing’s brows.

Xu Qing shook her head. “But he’s not sure if I know about the Gu King or not. The only explanation is that he has the Gu King in his body. It’s just that the Gu King hasn’t matured yet, and in order to save his life, he had no choice but to take the risk and summon the Gu King. Even an immature Gu King can release poisonous gas. Even if your internal energy is deep, it will be corroded by that poisonous gas. Of course, if he summons the immature Gu King, he himself will also be severely injured.” Xu Qing felt that this was the only way to explain all of this.

Qiao Yanhui’s expression darkened. “I should have killed him and eliminated any future troubles when I was at the Qiantang River. This lunatic was seriously injured by me, so he probably won’t recover for at least two to three months. I’ll set off for the battlefield tomorrow. You have to be careful during this period of time.”

“I’ll protect myself! Don’t worry me.” Xu Qing stared into Qiao Yanhui’s soulful eyes with a cheerful gaze.

“It’s late now, so go to sleep.” After Qiao Yanhui brought Xu Qing back to her room, he planted a light kiss on her forehead.

“Okay.” As Xu Qing lay in Qiao Yanhui’s arms, she was pondering over something, but as she thought about it, she gradually fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, Xu Qing turned over and felt that the side of the bed beside her was cold, so she knew that he was gone. A busy day was about to start again.

…

After Lin Shu heard that Lin Hang was seriously injured, she was shocked. She didn’t expect such a strong man to lose to Xu Qing. Lin Hang was the strongest person she had ever met. No, in terms of freaky abilities, there was another person who was also very freaky. The two of them were probably on par. Moreover, she didn’t expect that Qiao Yanhui had actually secretly returned. Lin Shu believed that if he hadn’t returned, Xu Qing would have been killed already. At the thought of this, Lin Shu frowned. If she didn’t get rid of Xu Qing this time, then Ao Jie…

“Bai Mu, why haven’t you woken up my son yet after so long?” Lin Shu looked at the person who was completely covered by the black cloth with a gloomy expression.

“The child Gu is asleep, so there’s nothing we can do for the time being.” An unpleasant and sinister voice came from the black cloth. It was impossible to tell if it was from a male or female.

“Why is the sleeping? Didn’t you say that no one in the world can cure this mother and child Gu worm?!” Lin Shu was furious and picked up the teacup beside her to throw it at Bai Mu.

However, the teacup actually stopped in midair. Bai Mu’s entire body emitted a cold aura. Before Lin Shu could react, the teacup shattered in midair! Bai Mu’s eyes, which were hidden under his black cloak, were filled with killing intent. If not for the fact that Lin Shu could give him shelter and convenience, he would have killed this arrogant fool long ago.
