I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 383 Good Medicine
Chu Liuzheng answered honestly, "I was bitten by a Shadow Chaser."

"Shadow Chasing Bugs?" Xiao Jingfan frowned. "What are those?"

As Chu Liuzheng explained, he served tea. Xiao Jingfan listened with curiosity and ordered Zhou Yuande to summon Feng Jing, as he wanted to see the Shadow Chaser.

Zhou Yuande accepted the order and went to carry it out.

But before Feng Jing arrived, Tong Niang came first, bringing with her a Shadow Chaser Insect, not the one Feng Jing had caught.

Xiao Jingfan took the glass bottle and examined it closely.

The shadow beetle lay motionless at the bottom of the bottle, looking somewhat like a fly at first glance.

He looked up at Tongniang and asked, "Where did you catch her?"

“It’s right outside the tent where Miss is resting,” Tongniang said. “It kept flying around the tent. I went to check on Miss and just happened to see it. It must have come looking for Miss.”

Just then, Zhou Yuande returned with Feng Jing.

Feng Jingxian bowed to Xiao Jingfan, straightened up, and noticed the shadow-chasing insect in the glass bottle. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Where did it come from?"

Is today an auspicious day for finding treasures?

Tongniang repeated what she had just said.

"It's fine to look for Ji An, but why look for Abbot Jiang?" Feng Jing took the glass bottle from Xiao Jingfan and examined it closely, discovering that the Shadow Chaser inside was smaller than the one he had caught.

He asked in bewilderment, "Why isn't it moving?"

"They were probably terrified by the Cold Green Armor." Tong Niang glanced at the Shadow Chaser, unconcerned.

Feng Jing: "..."

Do you know that you're scaring the insects to death?

These insects are so difficult to raise, you should at least treat them with care!

He reached into the cloth bag at his waist, pulled out the cage he had just woven, opened it, and poured the shadow-chasing insects inside into a glass bottle.

Sensing the presence of its own kind, the small Shadow Chaser, which had been lying still, slowly crawled towards the large Shadow Chaser, and then... a fight broke out.

The smaller one was almost completely overwhelmed and beaten by the larger one.

Feng Jing was stunned. He quickly separated the two shadow beetles and put the larger one back in the cage.

What happened to the idea that all the Shadow Chasers are a loving family?
Why are these two fighting?

[Tsk tsk, the bad relationship between the master and master has even affected the insects.]

Chu Liuzheng quietly opened the system and scrolled down.

The first Shadow Chaser Insect belonged to Ping Xuan, and the second to Zheng Qianqian. These two fellow disciples were at loggerheads, each wanting to kill the other. Even their pet insects were fighting each other. It was truly unbelievable.

[To be honest, Yin Lanci's master is too eccentric. He actually made the original eldest disciple make way for the second disciple, and then favored and trusted the eldest disciple, making the second disciple so jealous that he was consumed by jealousy, thinking every day about how to kill the senior brother who climbed up on his shoulders.]

[Given these actions, I wouldn't believe it wasn't intentional. Yin Lanci never intended for these two fellow disciples to be loving and affectionate, did he?]

Chu Liuzheng flipped through it briefly.

As expected, I guessed right.

Yin Lanci was simply there to watch the show. He manipulated his two disciples, teasing them whenever he felt like it, and teasing them whenever he felt like it. His perverse sense of humor was truly something else.

She sifted through the news about Yin Lan resigning from her apprenticeship and continued looking at the information related to the Shadow Chaser.

[Hmm... So Zheng Qianqian used the Shadow Chaser Bug to find Jiang Yao because of Yin Lanci's orders.]

[Strange, didn't Yin Lanci always treat Jiang Yao, her junior sister who was chasing her, like air? Why is she suddenly going to arrest her?]

Filled with doubt, she began searching through the system.

【Hmm... here!】

Chu Liuzheng clicked on it and quickly scrolled down.

As I looked, my eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Wow~ I've found a juicy scoop!

Xiao Jingfan quietly pricked up his ears. What big news?
[No wonder they wanted to capture Jiang Yao; they were planning to appease the Netherworld Gu by having it devour the Shadow Moon Gu.] [The Tyrant's luck is pretty good; he just happened to arrive when the Netherworld Gu was turning against its host.]

Chu Liuzheng pulled down.

[Tsk tsk, Yin Lanci didn't inherit the Netherworld Gu through normal means to begin with, and she used it frequently in the early stages, causing the Netherworld Gu to become agitated every one or two months, accelerating its erosion of the host's heart meridian.]

To save his life, Yin Lanci had to find other food for the Netherworld Gu, even building a poison pool on Thousand-Foot Cliff for this purpose.

Xiao Jingfan immediately jotted it down in his mental notebook: There is a poisonous pool on Thousand-Foot Cliff.

Chu Liuzheng shook his head secretly as he watched.

This is completely like drinking poison to quench thirst.

[If you keep feeding it like this, the Netherworld Gu's appetite will only grow bigger and bigger. Each time it becomes agitated, the backlash against Yin Lanci will be even more severe. Then Yin Lanci will have to feed it again, creating a vicious cycle. Sooner or later, Yin Lanci will kill herself, becoming nourishment for the Netherworld Gu, just like countless of its predecessors.]

[Actually, the best solution would be for Yin Lanci to go into seclusion for two or three years, completely mastering the Netherworld Gu before emerging. This would make the Netherworld Gu much more docile, and she could live another seven or eight years.]

Xiao Jingfan's eyes turned cold upon hearing this.

Yin Lanci was ambitious and couldn't wait to sit on the dragon throne and rule the world. How could he possibly be willing to go into seclusion for two or three years?
Furthermore, the situation is constantly changing; things can change drastically in just one month. Who knows what the situation will be like in two or three years?
If he were Yin Lanci, he wouldn't wait either.

Chu Liuzheng was still sighing.

[The Shadow Moon Gu is now Yin Lanci's best medicine. Luckily, Jiang Yao has already nurtured the Shadow Moon Gu, otherwise, if she really encountered Yin Lanci, she would definitely be sacrificed.]

[Even Yin Lanci probably didn't expect that Jiang Yao's food reserves would exceed her control, and it was her dear little apprentice, Hong Ying, who lent Jiang Yao a helping hand. The whole scheme in Longkou Town was a complete waste.]

She continued browsing through the system.

Since Zheng Qianqian's Shadow Chaser Bug is here, and he followed the Shadow Chaser Bug to capture Jiang Yao, he should also be nearby, right?
where is it?

At the same time, Feng Jing also put forward the same idea.

He said to Xiao Jingfan, "Your Majesty, the owner of the Shadow Chaser that Tongniang caught should be nearby."

That means they want to arrest the person now. If they delay any longer, the other party will realize something is wrong and run away.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Jingfan felt that the benefits of arresting Zheng Qianqian outweighed the drawbacks, so he nodded and said, "Arrest him!"

With the Shadow Chaser in hand, there's no fear of not being able to find Zheng Qianqian's whereabouts, but there's one problem.

The Shadow Chaser flies too fast when it's flying at full speed, making it easy to lose track of it.

If they fail to catch the person and lose the insect as well, Doctor Feng will definitely sit on the ground and cry.

Tongniang came up with a solution, saying, "I can have Han Qingjia follow it."

With Han Qingjia supervising from the side, the Shadow Chaser didn't dare to fly too fast, which made it convenient for everyone to track them.

Xiao Jingfan thought it was feasible and asked Feng Jing to release the Shadow Chasing Insects to try it out.

Feng Jing did as instructed.

The little Shadow Chaser, released from the glass bottle, suddenly gained its freedom and immediately spread its wings and flew up. Then it was knocked onto the table by the Cold Green Armor, which was also flying up.

Looking at the Shadow Chaser on the table, who was once again frightened into silence by Han Qingjia, everyone looked at Tongniang, wondering if she could make Han Qingjia a little gentler.

That's definitely possible.

So, under the constant nudging and rubbing of Han Qingjia, the little Shadow Chaser was forced to become lively, spread its wings and flew out of the tent to seek help from its master.

Feng Jing and Tong Niang immediately followed, along with Si Yue and Chen Xing, who had just heard the news and rushed over, and Lü Fei, who was temporarily idle and wandering around the military camp.

Chu Liuzheng wanted to join in the fun, but before he could even take a step, his arm was grabbed.

She turned her head, her gaze slightly resentful.

[You've had your tea and snacks, what are you planning to do next?]

Xiao Jingfan just wanted to see the injury on her neck; there was such a large patch of plaster, it looked quite serious.

But seeing Chu Liuzheng's expression, he hesitated for a moment, then decisively pulled the person outside: "Together."
