“However… I can help you plant a Gu bug in Lu Fenying.”
“What do you mean?” Gu Bailu asked anxiously.
“If he uses the slave mark flute, the Gu will make him suffer a backlash. In other words, he’ll feel as much pain as you do when he uses the slave mark flute.” The witch doctor’s empty eye sockets looked at Qian’er.
Qian’er shook her head. “I’m not scared of pain. I’m scared of being controlled.”
That was the main reason why she wanted to leave. She would be able to endure the pain, but she would do something humiliating if her mind was controlled.
“The Backlash Gu is simple: You can do whatever he does to you.” The witch doctor chuckled, which was an extremely scary sound.
Gu Bailu grabbed her hand in delight. “Really?”
That would be great!
“Theoretically, this type of Gu can be used, but there is a requirement: It can only be successfully planted in the moment that the target loses control of their emotions.”
“What do you mean?” Qian’er was confused.
“It’s simple. When they’re feeling joyful, or enraged, or heartbroken.”
The witch doctor said it was simple, but it really wasn’t.
Lu Fenying was a cold-blooded and ruthless man. It was impossible for him to feel joy.
It was also impossible for him to be heartbroken.
It was possible to piss him off, but to make him enraged?
Hehe… No.
“If you hadn’t said the rest…” Gu Bailu sat back in her chair in disappointment.
Qian’er also sat down and frowned. She couldn’t understand why Lu Fenying was doing this. Su Muwei was already fine, so why did he still want to capture Qian’er?
“Master, please help me do a blood swap.”
That way, even if she was discovered, Lu Fenying might let her go once he realized that she no longer had Dragon Spirit Blood, and was worthless.
“Think it over first. It’ll take Lu Fenying a few days to travel from Heavenly Wind to Southern Glory. We’ll send people to set up obstructions within Southern Glory Empire to delay him.”
All this time, Gu Bailu had never wanted Qian’er to swap out her Dragon Spirit Blood; this was something everybody wanted.
It would be a shame to give it to someone else.
Qian’er stood up and then knelt resolutely in front of Gu Bailu. “Master, I’ve already considered it. Dragon Spirit Blood is a burden to me. I don’t have the ability to protect it right now. Give it to someone else. If Lu Fenying must have it, then give that person to him.”
Gu Bailu thought that this was a possible solution.
“Okay, I’ll start picking candidates tomorrow.”
She had to pick someone with a good personality. At the very least, it couldn’t be someone as indifferent and heartless as the rest of the people in this world.
“Thank you, master.” Qian’er stood up and took a deep breath.
The witch doctor sniffed. “So, you don’t need me anymore?”
She actually wanted to stay in Prince Zi’s house, which was a great place.
“We’ll still need you. I know that you’re interested in your cultivation speed in Prince Zi’s residence, but I have a treasure in my own house that can increase your cultivation speed. You can stay there.”
Gu Bailu felt that if the witch doctor had the ability, she shouldn’t cut off the old woman’s path.
What if there was an opportunity to use the Backlash Gu?
Gu Bailu didn’t dare let her stay in Prince Zi’s residence, but the Gu house was fine.
She had squeezed into the four families previously, and the Bai family’s treasure now belonged to the Gu family. She wondered whether it had already been sent over.
With her husband to back her up, she wasn’t worried that she wouldn’t get the treasure.
