The fifteenth day of the first month was a Lantern Festival. Flowers and lanterns filled the city. A night of dancing fish and dragons.

Snow was falling in the north, adding a touch of elegance to this annual Superior Elemental Festival.

The treetops, where the leaves had not yet sprouted, were covered with a myriad of lanterns, lanterns for horses, lanterns for rabbits, lamps for ordinary people, lamps for poems, and all sorts of other things.

Beneath the tree, there was a frail woman wearing a peach-colored jacket. Below her was a blue qilin dress with a golden horse mask and a red cloak with a fox collar. The cloak was embroidered with white snow, and the plum blossoms were in full bloom, just right for today's occasion.

The hood covered her head just in time to block the snow. Looking from afar, she looked like a fairy that had fallen from the sky to the mortal world.

She looked up at a lamp on the tree and read slowly: "Last January night, the lights of the flower market were bright as day. The moon was shining with willow branches, and people lived around dusk. This year's New Year's Eve, the flower market lights are still the same, and I haven't seen last year's person. The teary green gown sleeve poem is a good poem, but it's too sad.

"How does the girl think it should be changed?"

As she was deep in thought, she suddenly thought of an unfamiliar male voice.

She froze for a moment and turned around. Behind her was a man with elegant white clothes like jade. He had a scholarly air about him, very much like a scholar whose stomach was full of books.

She slowly took off her exquisite hat and smiled. "It doesn't matter how you change it. The important thing is that you won't have a chance to know."

When that person saw her face clearly, he suddenly froze. It was as if he had seen someone he didn't want to, or even dared to, see in his entire life. "You, you!"

"Why are you here!"

Xiao Ruyue took a step back, her smile rippling as she said, "I'm not the only one here, it's really not easy to find you all."

Tang Ze's eyes trembled, he suddenly turned around and was about to leave, but he was suddenly surrounded by a man wearing a treasure blue robe and a silver mask.

In just a short period of time, there was no one left on the originally bustling street.

Tang Ze was a cautious man, ever since he came out from underground, he had decided to find a place to live secretly, even if it was bigger than the city. He did not head towards the direction where there were fewer people, but rather towards the north, where there were more people.

He just didn't expect that their whereabouts had already been grasped by someone.

Perhaps it could be said that he was too conceited and too confident in his own plans, thus giving others an opportunity to take advantage of him.

When the water was full, it would overflow, but when the moon was full, it would be a loss.

This was a principle that would never change.

"Long time no see, Mr. Tang." A man wearing a moon-white cloak slowly walked out from behind the crowd. His face had a deep facial expression and was extremely handsome. He walked over step by step, and his manner was so calm and elegant that it was dazzling to behold.

His expression might not look too good, but when he stood there, it gave off the feeling that he was looking down on the world with a dignified air. He was not angry, but instead, he was showing his might.

If this person was not Yuwen He, then who was it?

"It's really not easy to find you. You even need our family members to sacrifice themselves to lure you out. You really can hide."

Tang Ze's face changed, he clenched his teeth, "How did you find me?"

"It's not hard to say, but the method works. As for what method it is, there's no need for you to know." Yuwen He's tone was light, and his casual attitude made people unconsciously become flustered.

Tang Ze looked left and right, as if he was looking for something.

Xiao Ruyue let out a low laugh, and kindly reminded: "Stop looking for it, we have a group of extremely capable and meticulous brothers who did not miss a thing that they shouldn't have missed. However, you should still be hiding something on your body. It would be better to reveal it as soon as possible.

Yuwen He slowly walked over to Xiao Ruyue's side, "Min Er, don't bother speaking to him, it's useless to speak to such a person, it's impossible to capture him without fighting back, so just use your wrists."

"That's fine too." Xiao Ruyue seemed to agree, and then said: "But I guess that he doesn't have the strength to fight us head on right now. It's not easy to turn him into your puppet, there's a connection between a Gu worm and a person who raises Gu, if you want to take care of him, you have to unknowingly take care of the Gu worms that are raised by him.

As if someone had seen through his thoughts, Tang Ze clenched his fists and blew on the whistle, and then he heard something sound coming from afar. It was loud.

Everyone turned to look, only to see that there was a tall and sturdy horse galloping towards them, and upon closer inspection, there was another person on the horse, it was Xiao Ruyue and his group's main target, Weng Dai.

Xiao Ruyue raised her hand and opened her palm, revealing a black fat bug.

"Fat insect, it's up to you."

Xiao Ruyue lightly tapped the insect's head and a ray of light jumped into the air, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Following which, he heard a miserable scream under the dim light, the horse's hooves kicked the horse around, causing a loud "Bang" sound as Weng Dai fell from the horse's back.

All kinds of poisonous bugs crawled out from who knows where and surrounded him in an instant.

Startled, the horse galloped on, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Weng Dai couldn't take care of himself, so he naturally couldn't care less about Tang Ze. However, Xiao Ruyue and the others were mainly here for Weng Dai, not him.

"Watch him." Yuwen He gave the order and went with Xiao Ruyue.

Weng Dai was currently besieged by a group of insects, without any strength to retaliate, his entire body was in pain and he rolled around on the ground. Upon seeing Xiao Ruyue, he gritted his teeth in anger: "I never thought that I, Weng Dai, as the Keeper of the Southern Wilderness' Sacred Altar, would actually have such a day!"

"You actually dared to disobey the orders of the exalted High Priest and chose to run to our Grand Xia to commit heinous crimes. Even the Heavens are unable to look at you and want to punish you for that." Yuwen He taunted from above.

Xiao Ruyue unhurriedly added on, "This is called 'God warns everyone', reacting to my displeasure."

She waved her hand, and the poisonous bugs surrounding Weng Dai all scattered on their own, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

But Weng Dai's face was already extremely ugly to behold. Dark red patterns spread rapidly on his face, as if a new branch had sprouted from the root of a plant. Something seemed to be bulging and wiggling under his skin, as if something was about to break out from under his skin.

As the person who raised the Gu, he could not suppress the Gu in his body, and was devoured by the Gu worm.

Sister Ya Yin said that the Gu Masters of Miao Yue used a cruel method to raise Gu, and all the Gu worms survived by killing their own kind, so every Gu worm had a heavy evil aura and strong killing intent, and the nurturer needed to use a strong power to forcefully control them. Once the Gu Master showed weakness, the Gu worms would rush forward to devour the host.

This was also the reason why most of the Miao Jiang Gu cultivators failed to die.

Now that the Golden Silkworm Gu had appeared, the Gu worm in Weng Dai's body felt a strong pressure and could not help but become restless, wanting to break out of his body.

Weng Dai rolled on the ground as painful moans came out of his mouth unceasingly. His body actually started to swell as though he was about to explode.

Seeing that the situation wasn't good, Xiao Ruyue ordered the fat insect Golden Silkworm Gu, "Fatty Bug, don't let him die, find the white Gu for me!"

The fat bug actually whined out loud from somewhere and drilled itself into Weng Dai's mouth.

Weng Dai's expression became even more pained, and his miserable wails became even more severe.

He could not bear to watch this miserable scene unfold.

Xiao Ruyue even turned her face away as she covered her ears, "Don't let the child hear such a voice, it's not good for the child."

To be honest, their family's child had experienced all sorts of hardships while still in the womb, so it was unknown what kind of situation he would be in when he was born in the future.

After a while, Weng Dai's wails gradually stopped. Xiao Ruyue turned back to look, only to see a fat insect jumping out from Weng Dai's mouth.

Could this be the legendary white Gu?

The fat bug jumped onto Xiao Ruyue's palm like it was offering a treasure. It held that red bug in its mouth and shook its head and tail at her, and Xiao Ruyue silently took out a embroidered handkerchief that was embroidered with peach blossoms and wrapped it up.

Just thinking that it and this insect came out from Weng Dai's stomach and was still in her hands, her stomach started to churn for some reason.

In such a short period of time, Weng Dai's rolling on the ground had also stopped, and even the bulging on his face that was constantly struggling to break out had also gradually faded away.

"I knew that you woman wouldn't rest until your goal was achieved. I didn't think that even after hiding underground for so long, we still couldn't escape your eyes."

"Actually, if you don't bring the white Gu with you, we won't be able to take this opportunity to attack you." Xiao Ruyue chuckled lightly.

Previously, Weng Dai refused to hand over the white Gu even if he died. She had hidden this rare item away, there was nothing she could do.

However, on the road of escaping, he couldn't possibly let that life-saving treasure escape without hiding it. As long as it was on him, everything would be fine.

"The empress has good hands." Weng Dai gnashed his teeth.

"Thank you for your praise." Xiao Ruyue smiled slightly, "However, I am not the Queen anymore. You can call me Madam Yuwen."

Weng Dai clenched his teeth, feeling extremely unsatisfied in his heart, the dark red pattern still covered his entire face, he laughed sinisterly, "You think that just because you obtained white Gu, everything is fine? Right now, it's a Scarlet Gu, not a white Gu. "

"What do you mean?" Xiao Ruyue's expression changed slightly.

On that day, Tang Waner had only heard of white Gu, but she had never mentioned any Scarlet Gu.

I guess you don't know either, white Gu s are just red Gu and red Gu are just white Gu, but white Gu s and red Gu are like heaven and earth, you still remember the Red Xiang Gu from before, the Red Xiang Gu is originally a grass flower Gu, but the grass flower Gu is harmless and harmless, once it turns into the red Xiang Gu, it will become a huge disaster.

Weng Dai became more and more excited as he spoke. He supported the small tree and slowly stood up, "I can also tell you, the Scarlet Gu is extremely poisonous and its nature is extremely overbearing. I still have to thank you for taking out that deadly thing for me!"
