Chapter 699: Do You Not Want to Live Anymore?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Prince Heng induced vomiting, he vomited out all the poisonous insects in his stomach.
The venomous insects writhed on the ground in a frenzy. They seemed to be in great pain after being forced out of Prince Hengs body. They struggled for a while before they stopped writhing and died one by one.
“Haha, I’m done. I’m finally done…” Prince Heng laughed happily. As he spoke, poisonous blood suddenly gushed out of his seven apertures. His body convulsed and twitched until he finally fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
At once, everyone present fell silent without exception.
Gu Qingxue saw that the poisonous insects were dying with Prince Heng. She was about to step forward when Fei Yuge stopped her.
“Wait a minute, don’t approach his body at this time. Do you want to die? ” Fei Yuge stood up from MO Yunye’s side as she spoke.
MO Yunye’s gaze had been fixed on Gu Qingxue ever since she entered the room. Even after Fei Yuge had left, his gaze did not waver in the slightest.
Fei Yuge took in MO Yunye’s expression and was extremely disappointed. She pursed her lips and strode towards Gu Qingxue. “The reason why Prince Heng spat out so many poisonous insects in one breath was that he was poisoned by a Gu. This Gu is called the Heartless Gu and will make the poisoned person fall head over heels for the person who poisoned him, gradually losing his mind. Once the person who was poisoned regained his senses and wanted to hurt the person who poisoned him, the Gu Worm would take effect and take his life. These poisonous insects are born from the mother Gu Worm. At this time, the mother Gu Worm has not been taken out, and if you approach it casually, you may be possessed by the Gu Worm, which is very dangerous.”
Gu Qingxue’s understanding of legendary venomous insects was not as deep
as Fei Yuge’s. After hearing this, she thanked her very politely, “Thank you for the reminder, but how can I take out the mother worm?”
“Use smoke, preferably mugwort. My sister knows this. She told me that no matter when I encounter a Gu Worm, 1 can use mugwort or realgar, something that poisonous creatures are afraid of. Even if it can’t be 100% successful, it can at least remove 80% of the poison.” Fei Yuge kept her eyes on Gu Qingxue as she spoke.
She knew very well that the woman in front of her was her greatest love rival. As long as Gu Qingxue died, perhaps MO Yunye would have a place in his heart.
Fei Yuge could not figure out what this complicated feeling rising in her heart meant. She clearly had the chance just now, but she could not harden her heart to let Gu Qingxue court her own death.
As she thought about this, Fei Yuge sighed to herself. She just did not have her sister’s courage, otherwise, she would have become an outstanding Gu master like her sister.
Gu Qingxue thanked Fei Yuge and got the palace servants to help by burning mugwort to smoke out the Gu Worms from Prince Hengs corpse.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the Gu Worm crawled out from Prince Hengs ear. It looked like a centipede but was only half the length of a normal centipede. It also had a long scorpion tail hanging from its back.
“Squeak!” The Gu Worm twisted its body wildly due to the smell of mugwort. Then, with a muffled sound, it fell heavily to the ground and was burned to death by the palace servants with hot water.
Fei Yuge witnessed the entire scene and heaved a sigh of relief. “Alright, this way the Gu Wrom won’t harm people anymore. The next step is to deal with Prince Hengs body. We also need to burn him with mugwort and firewood to prevent any unhatched eggs in his body..”
