796 Brother Jiu Takes Action

Lan Jiao was sure that the girl was not the Gu Lady. Since she was not the Gu Lady, it would be unreasonable if she did not feed this little thing after buying so many Gu worms. It must be hungry since she bought so many. In that case, why did it refuse to eat?

Lan Jiao used the most poisonous Thousand Gu King in the Lan Manor. The little Gu was to turn around and throw a little worm butt at her!

“It’s not a low-level Hundred Gu King. The Thousand Gu King is highly poisonous and tastes extremely good. It should pounce on it and eat it all…” Lan Jiao did not understand what had gone wrong. Could it be that that girl had fat Gu worms, so the little fellow did not like the things in the Lan Manor?

“Go and bring over the Rainbow Gu King prepared for the Saintess,” Lan Jiao instructed.

!!
The confidant maidservant was shocked. “Master, you can’t. That’s a treasure that you’ve raised for many years. It’s the treasure of our Lan Manor!”

The Rainbow Gu King was also a Thousand Gu King, but it was a very special existence among the Thousand Gu Kings. Its speed of becoming stronger was astonishing. Perhaps it would not be long before it could become a Ten Thousand Gu King.

“What do you know? Although the Rainbow Gu King is good, it can’t compare to the one in front of me.” Before meeting the little Gu King, Lan Jiao also thought that the Rainbow Gu King was the most powerful Gu King she had ever seen in her life. It was not until she saw it that she knew what it meant to be born a king.

Lan Jiao continued, “It took the Rainbow Gu King less than three years to become a Thousand Gu King, but do you know that this little thing was born as the Ten Thousand Gu King? There are no traces of it being refined by medicine on its body. In other words, it already has such powerful strength without doing anything. If we use it well, its realm will be immeasurable.”

When Lan Jiao said this, the trusted maidservant understood. However, she still felt the pinch. That Rainbow Gu King was very liked by the Saintess.

If the Saintess returned and found out that the Gu King was gone, she would definitely be angry. How could Lan Jiao not guess what she thought? Besides, the Saintess was her daughter. How could she not know her daughter’s personality?

Lan Jiao smiled wantonly. “Don’t worry. With this little thing, the Saintesses won’t care even if there’s ten Rainbow Gu Kings.”

“But…” The trusted maidservant thought of something and said with a troubled expression, “Steward Yue has been guarding the Rainbow Gu King. He went out this morning and hasn’t returned yet.”

Lan Jiao frowned and looked at the dark sky outside the window. “It’s so late. Is he not done? Ignore him for now. Go to his courtyard and say that it’s my order to bring the Rainbow Gu King over. As for him, I’ll naturally send someone to ask.”

“Yes.” After receiving the order, the trusted maidservant did not dare to hesitate anymore. She turned around and went to Steward Yue’s courtyard to bring the Rainbow Gu King over.

The moment the Rainbow Gu King entered the room, Lan Jiao clearly felt the little Gu in the jade bottle become restless. The temptation of the Rainbow Gu King and the little Gu was definitely not less than the pure yin blood. The little Gu’s saliva was about to drown it.

Lan Jiao put on her silver gloves and placed the Rainbow Gu King inside.

The Rainbow Gu King emitted a tempting fragrance. The little Gu bit the little insect’s claw tightly.

I-I can’t hold on anymore!

Slurp~

To tame a Gu King, one had to first raise it and let it taste the sweetness. Then, they would slowly make it unable to leave them. Of course, Lan Jiao did not tame it for herself, but for the Saintess.

The Gu King had many uses. It could kill people, detoxify, and even increase its strength when necessary.

“Eat, little thing,” Lan Jiao said seductively.

Little Gu: I want to eat, I want to eat!

Little Gu: You can’t eat, you can’t eat, you can’t eat!

The little Gu turned around and hugged its little insect tail, holding it in until it was about to cry. Lan Jiao could tell that it was not that this little thing did not want to eat, but it did not want to eat. It was rejecting her.

Young Gu worms did not have their own intelligence and were the easiest to tame. However, how old was this little thing? It actually had such a backbone?

Lan Jiao sneered and flicked the jade bottle with her fingertip. “Little thing, don’t seem like you want to do this the hard way! Someone!”

Lan Jiao asked her trusted maidservant to bring over an iron box.

Gu worms liked jade and hated iron. Being locked in an iron box would make Gu worms feel extremely uncomfortable. If it was a human, it would be the same as being locked in a cold cellar and fed a bowl of medicine that would make them dizzy and vomit.

The little Gu struggled.

“If I don’t teach you a lesson, you won’t know how powerful I am.” Lan Jiao ignored its resistance and mercilessly threw it into the iron box.

The dull iron smell attacked the little Gu everywhere, and the little Gu shrank into a small ball uncomfortably.

This was not all Lan Jiao wanted to do. Since she wanted to teach this little thing a lesson, she would teach it a lesson until the end so that it would never have the guts to rebel in its life.

Lan Jiao got someone to find a few energetic male chickens and locked them in a temporary chicken coop. Then, she threw the iron box containing the little Gu into it.

Gu worms had natural enemies, which were roosters.

Although powerful Gu worms could defeat their natural enemies, a young Gu worm that had yet to reach adulthood had its strength suppressed by the iron qi. This was like crippling an expert’s martial arts and breaking his bones. How could he not be afraid?

The little Gu worm was so frightened that it bumped around. One of his claws broke.

Lan Jiao gently tapped her fingertips on the box. “Enjoy it. I’ll let you out when you’re obedient.”

Little Gu hit the wall of the box and bled.

Lan Jiao sneered and left without looking back.

On the other hand, Yu Wan returned to her residence in the Nether Capital. The moment the three little munchkins entered the courtyard, they pounced into their father’s arms and rubbed their heads against their father’s chest, feeling a little aggrieved.

Yan Jiuchao picked up his sons. The three of them reached out and hugged his neck. His sons’ reaction was not right. Yan Jiuchao asked, “What’s wrong? Didn’t you go to buy candied hawthorn? Where’s the candied hawthorn?”

“There’s no candied hawthorn,” Xiaobao said aggrievedly.

“Who bullied you?” Yan Jiuchao asked.

“Bad people,” Er’bao said. “They bullied Asura.”

The three of them did not know that the Gu worm had been snatched away. They only saw Asura vomit blood. Yan Jiuchao asked the three little fellows to go to Ah Wei. The three of them lowered their heads and left.

Yu Wan sent Asura back to her room and called Old Cui over to treat him. When Madam Lan, Qiu Bing, and the others heard the commotion, they also rushed to Asura’s room.

No one expected Asura to be seriously injured.

Old Cui took Asura’s pulse and clicked his tongue. “How did you get injured like this? Who did you meet?”

“The Lan family,” Yu Wan said.

As Old Cui administered acupuncture to Asura, he was puzzled. “You’ve only been out for a short while. Why did you meet the Lan family? Didn’t they say that our place is quite far from the Lan family?”

“The Lan family is here to buy something. I didn’t expect to meet them.” Yu Wan told them everything that had happened in the shop.

Old Cui frowned. “In that case, they even snatched the Gu King away?”

As the holy artifact of Nanzhao, the Gu King might only be a decoration and faith in Nanzhao, but it had real use and value in the Nether Capital. If the Lan family snatched it, they would not suffer a loss whether they wanted to use it for themselves or use it to please the Sikong family.

However, the shamelessness of the Lan family still shocked Old Cui and the others. They had seen shameless people, but they had never seen someone so shameless. How was it different from bandits to snatch things on the streets?

“Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to that eldest young master of the Sikong Clan. If he hadn’t appeared by chance, I don’t know what would have happened to Asura and me.”

Yu Wan only sighed unintentionally, but Yan Jiuchao narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Lan family was born in the Nether Capital, so they naturally understood the status of the Sikong Clan better than everyone present. She explained to them, “The eldest son of the Sikong Clan that Ah Wan met by chance should be the eldest son of the Sikong family’s head, Sikong Changfeng. When I was chased out of the Nether Capital, he was still young. I saw him from afar once, and my impression of him was a very different child. As for his character, I don’t know.”

There were comments among the people, but the Lan family had not personally come into contact with them, so they did not dare to believe them.

“Although the Sikong Clan didn’t make a move on the Lan Family back then, they still closed their eyes. It can be considered taking advantage of the situation.” Madam Lan said this to tell Ah Wan that there was no need to be too grateful to the Sikong Clan.

That Young Master Sikong was only passing by by chance. He definitely did not mean to save her and Asura.

Yu Wan nodded. “I understand, Grand-aunt.”

Yan Jiuchao glanced at her indifferently.

The group stayed in the room to discuss how to go to the Lan Manor and force Lan Jiao to hand over the Gu King and the Saintess’ blood. However, Yan Jiuchao left the room expressionlessly. He tapped his toes and used his qinggong to disappear into the night.
