It was as if all the water in his body had evaporated, and his blood essence had been sucked out of him. Even his wrists and ankles had shrunk to a size even smaller than the shackles, and then his limbs slipped out of the shackles, and he fell to the ground, curled up into a ball.

"This is bad!" As Gu Qingli cried out in alarm, she saw the little golden bug struggling its way out of the silver needle. It circled at high speed in the air of the secret room and then swooped down towards her.

She flicked out a few silver needles from her fingertips, but the golden bug was surprisingly fast. It flapped its wings to dodge her attack and continued to circle towards her.

Xiao Yi Xiu flicked his sleeve and flicked his fingertips. The golden bug rolled a few times in the air before landing on the ground with its stomach facing the sky. It struggled a few times before it stopped moving.

"You killed it?"

"Nope." Xiao Yixiu was sure that his grip on his inner force was accurate, even a fly wouldn't die from the shock.

Gu Qingli wanted to lean over and see, but he pulled her behind him and sternly said, "Haven't you had enough of it?"

"It's only an insect. Do you think it still has intelligence?"

"That's a Gu worm, the last one left by the other Gu, do you think that it has no intelligence?"

Gu Qing Li froze. When she thought of the black streak on her body, a chill slowly rose up her back. She gently reached out and held Xiao Yi Xiu's hand.

Xiao Yi Xiu stared gravely at the Gu worm and took a few silver needles from Gu Qing Li.

Sure enough, after a long period of silence, the little golden insect seemed to be struggling to turn over. However, like an ordinary beetle, it was unable to turn over its body.

Suddenly, it soared into the sky. It didn't even turn its body around as it flew up into the air. It even did a somersault and charged forward once more. It even went around Xiao Yixiu and headed straight for Gu Qing Li!

This time, Gu Qing Li was absolutely convinced that it had intelligence. It had attacked him three times to avoid Xiao Yi Xiu!

If she didn't have a special aura, then the Gu worm believed her cultivation was weaker than Xiao Yi Xiu's, making her easier to deal with. If it was the latter, then how high was the Golden Gu's IQ?

Xiao Yi Xiu struck out with his sleeve wind attack again. Who knew that the golden flames on Little Worm's body intensified, and as if it was on fire, it actually shot towards him at a crooked angle?

His heart sank, he actually felt that this Gu worm was like a human, dodging, actually knowing how to face the strong.

The silver needle stuck between his fingers shot out, but this time it did not pierce through it like the last time. Instead, it was pierced through by the second needle, nailing it to the ground.

"It... It knows how to dodge, it's evolving! "

Gu Qingli felt that these Gu had already surpassed her knowledge, and all the skin on her body began to bulge. Her medical skills were outstanding, and her poison arts were also superior to ordinary people. However, Gu worms were one of the more mysterious and difficult types of poison. She had never seen such a terrifying Gu before.

The third and fourth needles pierced its body, forming a net that held it down.

He took out a small bottle from his sleeve, filled it with needles and Gu worms, and quickly stuffed it in.

"This way... Will it die? " Before Gu Qingli could finish her sentence, she saw the bottle filled with cork wood. It was trembling, as if it had been heavily resisted by the Gu worms.

"I can't do anything even if I die. This thing might be even more dangerous to keep."

"Give it to me."

Xiao Yixiu shook his head in worry.

Gu Qingli sighed lightly and smiled, "Can it be even more dangerous than the one in my body? Rest assured, I have seen its IQ, so I will not be hurt so easily. "

Seeing that he was still shaking his head with eyes full of worry, his heart warmed up and gently said, "No matter how intelligent it is, it is still a bug. It can't pierce through this porcelain bottle to hurt me."

Xiao Yi Xiu lowered his head to feel the trembling of his palm, and was sure that the Gu worm didn't possess such power, so he placed it on her palm without hesitation.

Gu Qingli carefully took out a silk sachet and put it away.

Xiao Yixiu clapped and the shadow guard brought another dancer in.

When she saw the deformed body on the ground, her face turned pale.

"Please let me go, I don't want to die, I don't want to …"

Gu Qingli no longer believed in their honesty. She could only glare coldly at her for a moment before allowing the shadow guard to drag her to the wall and lock her up. Only then did she slowly walk over.

"Did you see her death? Do you know how she died? "

"I know, it's the Golden Gu." The dancer answered with a trembling voice.

"What is a Golden Gu? What kind of organization is behind you? "

The dancers trembled, their gaze somewhat sluggish as they hesitated, as if they were thinking of something.

Gu Qing raised his hand and a silver needle pierced through his body. She did not know what method she used to activate it, but the dancers suddenly opened their eyes wide and screamed hysterically. Their entire bodies were struggling and twisting and the extreme pain was unbearable to her.

"I... Spare me … "I said …" This dancer's will was clearly not as strong as before, and she completely gave up struggling.

Gu Qing Li pressed her palm against her body, and the silver needles stopped flowing in her meridians. The intense pain was instantly relieved, turning into a sharp light pain. The dancer's head was covered in cold sweat, but before the silver needles could come out of her body, the pain slowly subsided.

"Then... "That thing …" She looked down at her body with lingering fear, not knowing where the silver needles had gone to.

"As you say, when you finish speaking, you will naturally take out the silver needles."

The dancer took a deep breath and said, "My name is Zhou Qianxi, I've been sold to the East Sun since I was five …"

"Dong Yang?" Dong Yang was far away in the northern border. It was clearly a cold and bitter place. The traffickers had gone through so much trouble to sell their children, but they still sold them to a prosperous place. Could it be that Dong Yang had some wealthy merchant that wanted to buy her?

Zhou Qianxi, on the other hand, didn't understand the confusion that flitted through her eyes. She looked at him blankly before continuing her narration.

It turned out that she wasn't the only one being sold to the East Sun. There were also many girls of appropriate age. They were all good-looking and seemed to be intelligent children. What shocked her was that there was even the daughter of a wealthy family.

It seemed like this peddler was not only abducting and robbing lost girls on the street, but even the rich and powerful young mistresses could do the same.

A five-year-old child was not sensible. Under the threat of corporal punishment and hunger, she was willing to do anything.

At first they were just involved in some inhumane training that sounded very difficult, but then they were taught manners, and they were taught music and painting, and it sounded like they were going to be trained as courtesans for the entertainment of the upper classes.

After that, their physical training was not just a matter of hard work. They also added martial arts teachings as well as a few assassination skills.

"Assassin?" Gu Qingli blurted out. She wasn't a stranger to these things. In her past life, she had been a golden killer trained by non-humans.

Zhou Qianxi sighed, "We have a lot of missions, so we only kill a few." In total, we have even brought together elegant courtesans, assassins, and spies together. "

Gu Qing Li nodded in understanding. Sure enough, Fang Yanzhu and Ling Xin Ning were not ordinary women.
