Chapter 177: 104
“Based on my guess, this should be a type of Lockheart Gu insect,”

“That purple-dressed woman just now was bitten back by this Gu, which caused her to develop feelings for me, bringing me a wave of romantic luck,”

“Generally speaking, if the Gu insect dies, its effects will disappear as well,”

“Therefore, this Gu cannot be killed, not only can it not be killed, but it must be well cared for, so that there is a chance for revenge in the future!”

Lu Changsheng looked at the listless blood-colored Gu in his hand and silently thought.

The purple-dressed woman attacked him out of the blue, laying the Gu on him in an attempt to harm him clandestinely.

If it hadn’t been for the Peach Blossom Gu by his side, he might have fallen for it, becoming her devoted lackey.

Such a great vengeance could not easily be let go of!

It must be avenged fiercely!

If he were to kill the Gu right now, causing the effect on her to dissipate, that would be tantamount to letting her off the hook.

So, he decided to raise the Gu well.

As long as he had this Gu in hand, he would have an additional means of control when he encountered her in the future.

“Speaking of which, can I refine this Gu to serve me?”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he suddenly thought.

From the recent situation, he could clearly feel that this Gu was not ordinary.

It was not a regular Gu.

If he could refine it, he might be able to figure out its effects and use it for himself.

“Such matters cannot be tried lightly.”

“I will look into information on Gu insects later to see if I can find anything about this particular one.”

“After all, Gu insects are not something to be trifled with. They are ferocious and difficult to refine,”

“I was able to refine the Peach Blossom Gu only because I drew it from the system.”

“This Gu insect is not simple. Now, if I attempt to refine and tame it while it has a master, one misstep and there’s a good chance of trouble, or even backlash,”

Lu Changsheng immediately dismissed the idea of refining this Gu.

As of now, he did not even know what type of Gu this was or what the situation entailed.

If he were to rashly refine it, there could very well be unforeseen accidents.

After all, having refined the Peach Blossom Gu in the past let him know that refining a Gu insect was not easy.

If it hadn’t been for the fact that the Peach Blossom Gu was drawn from the system, offering no resistance and actively cooperating with him, he wouldn’t have been able to refine it at all.

This Gu insect, though not as remarkable as the Peach Blossom Gu, was clearly extraordinary.

Refinement would certainly not be simple.

Immediately,

Lu Changsheng took out a jade box from his storage bag.

He placed the listless blood-colored Gu inside.

And he took out a sealing talisman to stick on the top, to prevent the Gu from escaping.

Then he found a magic artifact shop.

He spent thirty spirit stones to buy a Gu container specially for holding Gu insects.

He also spent fifty spirit stones to purchase a Spiritual Pet Bag.

Storage bags could not contain living things.

Even with the Gu container, the blood-colored Gu could only be placed in the Spiritual Pet Bag, not in the storage bag.

And the only Spiritual Pet Bag he had was the one given by the Lu Family for the Iron Feather Eagle.

So he bought one for himself.

In the future, it would be useful for the Nine Netherhound as well.

Moreover, creatures like demon beasts and Gu insects should preferably not be kept together if they are of different species.

Otherwise, there might be an accident.

Lu Changsheng also did not trust having the blood-colored Gu together with the Iron Feather Eagle.

After completing all these tasks, Lu Changsheng headed back home.

Meanwhile,

A purple-dressed young woman left the Nine Dragons Market in a rush.

“What on earth is going on?”

“How could he possibly have such a treasure, a heavenly-grade Gu insect like the Lockheart Gu!”

At this moment, Meng Xiaochan still could not believe what had just transpired.

It felt almost like a dream.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Lockheart Gu was not in her hand and the lingering affection in her heart, she would truly feel as if she were dreaming.

She couldn’t believe that the Lockheart Gu, which she obtained after so much painstaking effort, was gone just like that.

Not only was the Lockheart Gu gone, but she also suffered a backlash from the Gu insect, putting herself in the pitfall and suffering losses.

“Damn it! I must kill him and take back the Lockheart Gu!”

“Otherwise, even if I flee far away and never see him again, the Lockheart Gu will continue to affect me!”

Meng Xiaochan clenched her teeth, a dark hatred flashing in her eyes.

However, as this thought emerged, her heart suddenly trembled with pain.

The handsome face of Lu Changsheng appeared in her mind, making her feel affectionate.

She wondered how she could have such thoughts, how she could harm him.

“Huu huu huu!”

“Such a terrifying Lockheart Gu, such a domineering Lockheart Gu!”

Meng Xiaochan covered her aching chest, breathing lightly.

After a moment, she formed a spiritual art with her hands, touched her forehead, and calmed her restless mental spirit, her eyes filled with determination.

“No, I can’t think of him anymore, otherwise the Lockheart Gu will keep influencing me subtly, and its effects will become stronger and stronger.”

“I must break through to Foundation Establishment as soon as possible; only then can I hope to break free from the Lockheart Gu’s influence and restrictions!”

“The Purple Shadow Secret Realm is about to open, and if I can make some gains within, get someone to refine a Foundation Establishment Elixir for me, then I have a seventy percent chance of achieving Foundation Establishment successfully!”

Meng Xiaochan dared not continue to dwell on it.

She took out a leaf-shaped flying magic artifact from her storage bag, turned into a ray of light, and quickly left.

Lu Changsheng returned home as usual.

He didn’t give much thought to the matter with the purple-dressed young woman.

Mainly because the whole affair was too bewildering for him.

He was completely clueless and could not make heads or tails of it.

After chatting with his wives and maids and finishing dinner,

he fell asleep slowly with the company of his three wives.
