Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

Ying Yufu suppressed her unease and stared intently at the battle, while Shangguan Sheng's lips continued to bleed.

Ying Yufu fed him a bottle of Life Essence.

After drinking it, Shangguan Sheng's complexion improved somewhat, but it was no use. With each injury inflicted by the black centipede, Shangguan Sheng would still be repeatedly injured.

He was injured and his lips bled, and his face turned pale.

Just as Ying Yufu was about to hand another bottle of Life Essence to Shangguan Sheng, the black centipede let out a sharp cry and bit the tail of the Nine-Headed Gu.

Ying Yufu saw that the black centipede was gradually devouring the nine-headed Gu.

The Nine-Headed Gu also realized this, and its eight heads twisted and struggled wildly, looking ferocious.

However, as the Nine-Headed Gu devoured more and more of its contents, its struggles gradually slowed down when it reached the middle of its abdomen.

The black centipede's movements became increasingly sluggish, but its devouring continued unabated.

Everyone watched this scene with bated breath. After an unknown amount of time, the part being devoured finally reached below the head.

Another head was swallowed up.

Once this began, one after another, the remaining heads of the Nine-Headed Gu were swallowed up.

The Nine-Headed Gu had long since lost the ability to struggle.

It died; it was obediently swallowed.

The black centipede that swallowed the nine-headed gu did not recover from its injuries; instead, it lay motionless on the ground.

Shangguan Sheng stepped forward, picked it up, examined its injuries, and placed it in the Thousand Gu Inducing Veins to raise it.

"Saint, how is it?" Ying Yufu asked worriedly.

Although Shangguan Sheng's face was pale, he smiled at her and said, "Sister, don't worry. It ate something extraordinary this time. Although it was injured, it was worth it."

It needs to sleep for a while, and when it wakes up, it will be even stronger.

Ying Yufu breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."

General Du, who was standing to the side, said, "Quickly, let the young master go to the manor to rest."

Ying Yufu nodded and did not refuse.

Shangguan Sheng needs to get some rest.

Moreover, the crown prince also needs rest.

Ying Yufu and the others followed General Du to his residence and asked, "We can't delay with Wuzhu and Sentu either. Have those villains who practice Gu poison been captured? Have any escaped?"

General Du said, "The cities of Wuzhu and Sentu are guarded by General Li Shan and General Zhao Zhen respectively. The situation there is easier than in Wuhai. All the villains have been captured and none have escaped. The people behind the scenes are all from the Wu clan."

Ying Yufu nodded, "Okay, then let's rest for a day and head to Wuzhu and Sentu cities tomorrow."

General Du said, "Your Highness, Princess Anguo, and everyone else, please."

Ying Yufu and her group walked down the street, where people from the Southern Barbarians were everywhere.

They generally knew that their city had fallen to Bei Xuan, and upon seeing these Bei Xuan members, each of them revealed a cautious expression in their eyes.

Although cautious, there was no fear.

General Du seems to be managing things quite well.

After resting for a day and a night, the black centipede still did not wake up.

Ying Yufu and the others set off for the cities of Wuzhu and Sentu.

The nine-headed gu in these two cities are not as active as those in Fog Sea City. Most of them have not yet been successfully transformed, but a few are quite active.

Ying Yufu purchased earth fire twice more, burning all the nine-headed Gu in the two cities to ashes.

At that very moment, a loud voice from the system rang in Ying Yufu's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully preventing the Nine-Headed Gu from wreaking havoc on the world! You have performed a great service to save the world, and the system rewards you with 30000 points!]

Ying Yufu's eyes widened suddenly.

[The host purchased one bottle of Life Essence Liquid and two Earth Fire items, deducting a total of 650 points. The host's original point balance was 32430 points. After the deduction of 650 points, a reward of 30000 points is given, bringing the host's current point balance to 61780 points!]

Ying Yufu's breathing became slightly rapid.

She... seems to have made a fortune!

She immediately looked at the Crown Prince, her eyes filled with excitement.

The prince is saved.

I'm just 40000 points away!

At this moment, Ying Yufu felt that those bad people were actually good people, because they were giving her points!

"Great! Bad guy, let's go find him!"

Ying Yufu murmured, which surprised everyone around her.

What's wrong with Fu'er?

What triggered you when you burned the Nine-Headed Gu?

Ying Yufu waved her hand, a smile on her face: "Don't worry, everyone, I'm fine. In fact, I'm so happy!"

The Crown Prince nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, Fu'er is just too happy."

He led Ying Yufu around, but as soon as they turned around, they discovered that behind them were kneeling people from the Southern Barbarians.

These southern barbarian people looked at Ying Yufu with awe and kowtowed in her direction.

"Thank you, Chosen One, for destroying the Nine-Headed Gu and ridding us of this scourge. You are our great benefactor!"

"Thank you, chosen one, for rid us of that scourge and avenged our families!"

The people were filled with gratitude.

Ying Yufu paused, her happy mood fading. For her, she had earned points, but for these people, the Nine-Headed Gu had harmed the lives of countless relatives.

Ying Yufu paused for a moment, then said, "Please rise, everyone. Rest assured, from now on, you can live in peace. There will be no more harmful Gu poisons. Furthermore, Bei Xuan will not mistreat any of its citizens."

"Thank you, chosen one! Thank you, chosen one!"

After the crowd dispersed, Ying Yufu remained somewhat silent.

She turned to the prince and said, "It seems that people everywhere are the same; as long as we do good deeds for them, they will be grateful."

The prince nodded, his eyes softening. "So, we should do more good deeds for them from now on."

"But they only thanked me," Ying Yufu said.

"But I'm your man. Even if they don't thank me, they won't forget me."

Ying Yufu's cheeks flushed slightly; the Crown Prince's words made perfect sense.

The Heavenly Dragon System screamed in the prince's mind, "[Host, you're finished, you're finished, you gigolo!]"

The crown prince ignored him.

Ying Yufu: [...]

They didn't stop and went straight back.

When they returned to Yunzhou, it was very different from when they left.

The yamen was well-organized and orderly. Zhou Shichang knelt outside the yamen and respectfully greeted a group of newly appointed subordinate officials.

The Crown Prince said, "Zhou Shichang, I hereby appoint you to continue serving as the Provincial Governor of Yunzhou. Are you willing?"

Zhou Shichang trembled, his kneeling posture becoming even more devout: "Your subject is willing! Your subject thanks Your Highness the Crown Prince for giving me the opportunity to redeem myself. Your subject swears to defend Yunzhou to the death and protect the people of Yunzhou!"

"Alright, I'll keep an eye on things."

After resting in Yunzhou, the Crown Prince took Zhou Shi and Cheng Feng to Hemian, and the Zhou family was once again deeply grateful.

As for the Cheng family members imprisoned in the imperial city, they are all undoubtedly guilty of a capital offense.

……

Anzhou Prefecture, a thousand miles away from Yunzhou.

Meng Wanli was locked in the woodshed, and there was a hideous scar across her face.

The scar ran from the right cheek across the bridge of the nose to below the left corner of the eye.

Just a little more and her left eye would be gone.

The wound is still fresh; it was only recently inflicted.

A maidservant covered in whip marks knelt beside Meng Wanli, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Miss, you have a fever! What should we do? Please hang in there, I'll try to find some medicine for you..."

With a bang, the door to the woodshed was kicked open.

A young woman in a gorgeous dress entered, surrounded by a group of maids and servants. She scoffed, "Looking for medicine? She doesn't deserve medicine!"

The maid and Meng Wanli, who was running a fever, stared coldly at the girl.

The girl chuckled, admiring Meng Wanli's disfigured face, and said, "Meng Wanli, you can just fend for yourself in this woodshed!"

Today I will accompany my grandparents, father and mother to the capital.

"I will take over your marriage; soon I will be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!"
