Shen Qiuyang reflected carefully before saying, "She was calling out some names, like Liang Haoming... She also said things like, ’You can’t do this, it’s wrong, you can’t hurt them, please wake up soon, you’ll regret it when you do’... That was roughly it. As for anything else, I didn’t catch it. After all, it was just a dream, just sleep talk, so I didn’t pay much attention."
Zhi Chen’s jaw clenched, feeling that there seemed to be some subtle hints within these words. But before he could ponder deeply, he suddenly heard a loud bang from inside the house.
Shen Qiuyang immediately entered the house, but Zhi Chen was quicker; he rushed inside like a gust of wind and saw the young girl with red eyes, banging her own forehead against the wall over and over.
Her expression was sinister, yet she seemed to be enduring something.
Earlier, while Zhi Chen and Shen Qiuyang were talking outside, the girl had forged a second Gu King. She turned the Gu King into Gu Pills and swallowed them, not expecting this to provoke a backlash from the Devouring God Gu inside her.
Originally, Dong Dabao had suffered a minor head injury with intracranial hemorrhage when Divine Power created a tomb and he was hit by a stone during a landslide. However, this did not affect his daily life; on the contrary, it limited the movement range of the Devouring God Gu.
Therefore, after Dong Huiying took over Dong Dabao’s body, although the Devouring God Gu had a slight effect on her, as long as she consciously restrained it, it couldn’t cause any turmoil.
However, now, because she wanted to use a ’fight poison with poison’ strategy to slowly kill the Devouring God Gu, this triggered its vigilance and backlash.
Her head felt like it was splitting open. She banged her forehead against the hard wall, her rage and aggression growing rapidly within her heart.
The moment Zhi Chen entered, he rushed towards her, but she had clearly not lost her reason. Knowing how dangerous her current state was and how easily she could lash out, she pushed Zhi Chen away with one swift move.
Breathless and with red eyes, she said, "Back off, don’t come near me!"
"You..." He was about to speak when he saw her suddenly clutch her head and curl up on the floor.
The pain was excruciating, worse than bone scraping. Sweat broke out from all over her body. She bit down hard on her lips until they were torn and bleeding.
Making a split-second decision, Liang Zhi Chen quickly found a rope and tied her wrists to prevent her from self-harming in her agony. At the same time, he called Shen Qiuyang, who was panic-stricken, telling her to bring some cloth. He then stuffed the cloth into the girl’s mouth, to prevent her from biting her tongue.
However, perhaps because it had been too long since he last saw her unleash her divine powers with such ferocity, he had forgotten how unusual she really was.
So much so, that shortly after he had tied her up, she stretched her wrists outward with force, and the thick rope snapped under her strength. Fresh wounds from the rough rope appeared on her wrists.
Because of her fair skin, the red marks on her thin wrists looked more ferocious and startling!
Liang Zhi Chen hadn’t expected such an incident. He watched the girl slowly get up, remove the cloth Liang Zhi Chen had stuffed in her mouth to prevent her from injuring her tongue, and then, she suddenly lifted her head with a sinister look, her baleful gaze shooting straight at Liang Zhi Chen.
His heart skipped a beat.
He was all too familiar with this look.
Once, the girl had skin as dark as coal and a face full of pockmarks; every time her temper flared, they, her brothers, would bear the brunt of it.
After being beaten countless times, covered in wounds, they had to silently endure the difficulties she brought upon them for more than three hundred days and nights, facing her violent self.
Now, the enchanting and beautiful girl before him slowly began to overlap with the image of the person... from back then!
