After provoking the holy maiden of Miao territory, she was infected with a love curse.

With her other hand covering Sang Che's approaching red lips, Yin Huaixi used her knee to completely lift Sang Che up, raising an eyebrow.

"Now that you are my page and I am your master, then... what should be done and what shouldn't be done, A-Che, you should know very well, right?"

Sang Che shook his head.

She feigned innocence, and her face was so convincing that no one could find a trace of deception.

Yin Huaixi pinched Sang Che's lips hard and said in a serious tone, "Of course, you should do whatever your master says."

"You must obey your master's every word; first and foremost, you must not resist."

"If the master says east, then it is east; if he says west, then it is west."

"Secondly, you are not allowed to do the following disrespectful things without your master's permission. Do you understand this?"

"Third, the master is heaven, the master is earth, and you must obey the master's commands without question."

Sang Che nodded thoughtfully, pinching her chin with her index finger as she pondered.

"If we encounter danger on the road, Huaixi... if I use Gu worms, will I need your permission?"

"For example, those people who were rude to us on the first floor earlier, I made my babies go home with them."

more.

Sang Che didn't continue.

But anyone with common sense can understand what Sang Che meant by those words.

Yin Huaixi's expression froze for a moment. She asked curiously, "A-Che, what did you let go home with them?"

"Snake, centipede, or spider?"

Any one of these is enough to make one's scalp crawl.

Yin Huaixi suddenly sighed that these people really did bring trouble upon themselves with their words.

She looked aggressive and seemed ready to beat them up; she really wanted to beat them up.

But little did she know that Ah Che, who tried to mediate the fight, was even more ruthless than her in private!

Sang Che replied casually, his voice low and nasal: "Hmm, Huai Xi... what do you want me to put in their house?"

"I can put them all down."

As they were talking, under Yin Huaixi's surprised and frightened gaze, Sang Che walked to the table, picked up one of the "bamboo tubes" made of pure silver that she had placed on the table, and handed it to Yin Huaixi.

"Inside here is an extremely powerful Gu worm. Huaixi, if you wear it, you will be able to control those soulless snakes, insects, rats, and ants."

The bamboo tube is made of pure silver, with a hollowed-out design at the top wrapped with silver wire.

You can see a dark mass inside the bamboo tube. Yin Huaixi took a deep breath, her fingers trembling slightly, but she still took the thing that Sang Che handed her.

Holding the bamboo tube close to her eyes, Yin Huaixi was both expectant and afraid to see the true form of the Gu worm. She whispered, "Ache, I don't know any of your Miao Gu techniques. Won't it... bite me back?"

If there is a real risk of backlash, Yin Huaixi decided not to accept Sang Che's temptation. Dangerous items that cannot be controlled should be let go when it is time to let go!

Sang Che pointed her finger at the silver bamboo tube, then grasped Yin Huaixi's wrist with utmost seriousness.

No, it won't.

"You carry my scent. It only listens to me. I've given it a strict command, so it won't rebel."

The fingertips lightly tapped the silver bamboo tube, producing a "bang bang" sound.

Sang Che continued, "If it doesn't behave, then I'll just feed it to... Little Tooth."

As if it had overheard its owner's plans, a rustling sound came from the silver bamboo tube.

Seeing that the Gu worm gave in so quickly, Yin Huaixi thought there was probably no danger, so she took it.

If I encounter any bad guys in the future, I can just throw this bug out and let it bite the enemy on instinct. That should give me a chance to escape.

...

night market.

They said they were going shopping.

Yin Huaixi hadn't forgotten her mission. She came to a food stall and looked at the fragrant pancakes. The stall owner wiped his hands with a towel, reached for a lotus leaf, and greeted her with a friendly smile.

"Judging by your imposing manner, young master, you must come from a very wealthy and noble family. Surely you've never tasted such a delicious and beautifully presented baked cake before!"

Yin Huaixi looked at the vendor, already prepared.

"My mother went to the temple to pray for blessings this morning. The monk told her to do good deeds. Your baked flatbread looks good to me. It's a large quantity and will fill you up. I plan to buy it all and share it with the homeless people on the street."

Hearing this, Sang Che, who was obediently following behind Yin Huaixi, roughly guessed what she was going to do.

In this vast capital city, if the Gu worms she released didn't have a location to track her, they would lose track of her.

If the two wanted to quickly find out what was happening in the capital recently, they couldn't just wander around like headless flies.

Divide the cake and give it to the beggars on the street; perhaps you'll get some useful clues that way.

If we can really abduct Jiawan from that person, we certainly won't be able to leave through the gate.

Given that person's status and position, the city gates and numerous checkpoints would be heavily guarded, making it difficult for him to escape this inescapable net, even with seventy-two transformations.

The stall owner was overjoyed. He thought to himself that he had struck gold, so he quickly took out a cloth bag and put all the remaining pancakes into it.

"Young master, is this enough?"

Yin Huaixi gestured for Sang Che to take out some silver, and nodded: "This much is enough."

The money and goods were exchanged.

Sang Che then carried the heavy cloth bag and followed Yin Huaixi to a quiet corner of the street.

"Huaixi, are you sure buying so many sesame cakes will get you reliable information from those people?"

"I think it would be better if I released the Gu worms and turned them into puppets. That way, the information we want to know will be guaranteed to be true."

Hearing Sang Che, dressed in scholar's clothes, utter such wicked words behind him, Yin Huaixi's legs trembled and she almost fell flat on her face.

Yin Huaixi turned her head and solemnly placed her index finger on Sang Che's nose, pressing it hard.

"Ah Che, you're insane!"

"Do you know that although the capital is a large city, it cannot tolerate filth and corruption?"

"You're still thinking about making puppets right under the emperor's nose? I bet you'll be thrown into a water dungeon tomorrow!"

Upon hearing Yin Huaixi mention the words "water dungeon," Sang Che thought to himself, "What's the big deal?"

She's been to the "water dungeon" before.

However, in front of Yin Huaixi, Sang Che still pretended to be obedient: "Okay, my master is right, it was my fault for being so talkative."

"I will never talk back to my master again."

Watching her get into character.

Yin Huaixi didn't say anything more. As soon as the two of them stepped around the corner, a group of beggars who were sleeping soundly on the ground with dog-beating sticks as pillows came into view.

There was a wall there to block the wind, so a dozen or so people huddled together for warmth.

A foul stench assaulted the senses.

Yin Huaixi walked over and squatted down. Before she could ask any questions, the beggar suddenly opened his eyes and pulled out a dog-beating stick.

However, just as he touched the dog-beating stick, something cold wrapped around his wrist, startling him so much that he cried out and threw the stick away.

The crimson snake reacted extremely quickly. The moment the dog-beating stick was thrown, it had already wrapped around the beggar's wrist. Its bared fangs and the way it looked as if it was about to bite terrified the beggar, who trembled all over and dared not move.

At this moment, Sang Chebai's frighteningly white hand landed on Yin Huaixi's shoulder.

Her sharp eyes looked down at the beggar with ill intentions.

He completely protected Yin Huaixi.
