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

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for saving Shangguan Tang's life and successfully slapping the assassin in the face. The system rewards you with 1000 points.]

Congratulations, host! You have successfully controlled and subdued all the Gu people, gaining immense combat power. The system rewards you with 10000 points!

The host spent a total of 1150 points to purchase the magical artifact.

The host originally had 29070 points, and the host's current balance is 37920 points.

Ying Yufu never expected that the reward for subduing these Gu people would be 10,000 points!

Successfully recovered nearly 10,000 points!

But the key point is that she also inherited the holy-level Gu technique of the Southern Barbarian witch, as well as three powerful witch artifacts.

I made a profit!

Blood earned!

Ying Yufu's lips curled up, and a look of satisfaction appeared in her eyes.

Her mood improved, and her gaze towards the group of Gu people softened, after all, these were her strongest combatants.

Therefore, when the round-faced medicine boy, crying pitifully, rushed up to her begging for attention, Ying Yufu did not kick him away.

She simply stopped him from getting too close, saying, "Don't play the victim, your injury is already healed."

The moment they absorbed her blood and acknowledged her as their master, their wounds healed rapidly.

The round-faced medicine boy's tears continued to roll down his cheeks. "Master, is it because Xiao Chong did something wrong before that you don't like him anymore?"

Ying Yufu really didn't know what to say.

To say I like him would be a lie.

It's not that I dislike it.

After all, it was her fighting force.

Just then, the Crown Prince walked over, affectionately took Ying Yufu's hand, and looked at her with a domineering gaze: "Fu'er only loves me."

Round-faced medicine boy: "?"

He froze.

Ying Yufu felt as if she had been granted a pardon, and she returned the Crown Prince's hand, saying, "That's right, I only like the Crown Prince."

The round-faced medicine boy silently watched the crown prince, said nothing more, and tactfully took a few steps back.

The crown prince scoffed and looked at him: "Stop with your petty schemes. You won't even shed blood, yet you want to shed tears?"

Ying Yufu immediately realized what was happening and asked the round-faced medicine boy, "Right, where did you get those tears?"

Round-faced medicine boy: "..."

His face grew even more grief-stricken. How could this prince so hurt him so deeply?

Can't he just force out a few tears?

A weak voice came from the side, "What...what should I do?"

He wasn't a Gu practitioner, but he was also under the influence of Gu, making him vulnerable to others.

He looked helplessly at Ying Yufu, "Princess Anguo, could you... could you take me in too?"

Ying Yufu glanced at him and immediately recognized that he was infected with the Heart-Eating Gu.

In the past, Ying Yufu would have needed Shangguan Dui to use the Thousand Gu Inducing Technique to remove the Heart-Eating Gu.

But now, Saint-level witchcraft is not just talk. She channeled the witch power within her body and drew something in the air with her fingers.

The Gu people were immediately horrified. They could clearly sense that some kind of power had been generated in the air.

They couldn't resist getting closer, and a small insect quickly crawled out of Ma San's left ear, heading towards Ying Yufu.

Even though it knew that coming over meant certain death, it still flew into the fire like a moth to a flame.

As it approached Ying Yufu's feet, the tiny insect was crushed into dust by an invisible force.

Inside the Western Lin Imperial Palace.

Having just been treated by Master Zhou and his breathing had stabilized, Emperor Xilin clutched his chest again and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Another great commotion erupted.

Ma San clearly felt that he was free.

The Heart-Eating Gu was not present in his body.

But he knelt on the ground, pleading with unwavering loyalty, "Master, please take me in and plant new Gu worms in me."

Ying Yufu looked at him, and several Gu people looked at Ying Yufu.

They all wanted to see how the witch's venomous insects differed from those of others.

Ying Yufu remained silent.

She doesn't have any Gu worms at all!

Ignoring the eager gazes around her, she drew a few more lines in the air with her fingers, casting an invisible incantation into Ma San's body.

Ma San's body stiffened slightly.

"I dislike using Gu worms to control others. I will cast this curse into your body, and only I can break it."

Ma San was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Master!"

He felt that his master treated him differently.

Otherwise, why would the master not use Gu to control him, but instead draw the spell himself?

The Gu masters all looked on with disdain.

The round-faced medicine boy said, "Ma San, the master is only controlling you with witchcraft, but we are controlled by the master's blood."

Is there any need to say who won and who lost?

Ma San lowered his head honestly: "Lord Zhang Chong, you are right!"

Deep down, they scorned it. Their master used blood to make them acknowledge him because they had no other choice.

But he was different.

They make people use Gu worms, but insist on drawing witchcraft spells by hand.

Is there even a need to compare the differences?

With several Gu people already under her control, Ying Yufu finally had time to look at Shangguan Fei and Mei Songyao.

"Big Cousin, Young Master Mei, how are you feeling?" she asked with concern.

Shangguan Fei said, "Fu'er, I'm fine. Your medicine tastes good."

Ying Yufu was both amused and exasperated; her older cousin was still in the mood to joke.

However, the Life Essence Liquid was indeed remarkably effective, so she was quite reassured.

"Big Cousin, Young Master Mei, can you tell me what exactly happened?" Ying Yufu asked.

Mei Gongyao stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Princess, Your Highness, at first I just felt a little feverish. I was afraid that my condition would worsen and delay the imperial examination, so I asked the innkeeper's waiter to help me buy some antipyretics."

But the innkeeper was too busy; he only informed the pharmacy, and the pharmacist's apprentice delivered the medicine to me that evening.

He pointed to the round-faced medicine boy, "He's the one who delivers the medicine."

The round-faced medicine boy looked at him innocently.

Mei Songyao continued, "I originally thought that since the medicine had already been delivered and the young apprentice was very polite, I would not pursue the matter any further."

Unexpectedly, when I opened the medicine packet, I found that one of the herbs meant to clear heat and reduce fire had become a qi-tonifying herb.

I immediately went after the medicine boy, but to my surprise, I found that he was acting suspiciously and was quite skilled.

I then followed them all the way to Wulan Hall, and then discovered that everyone in Wulan Hall was no ordinary person, and the way they spoke was unlike that of people from an ordinary pharmacy, but rather like people from another country...

I was greatly alarmed and dared not disturb them. I was powerless to help, so I thought of Miss Shangguan...

I never imagined that I would actually harm Miss Shangguan.

He deeply regretted it.

Shangguan Fei said at the right moment, "It was my fault. I shouldn't have been so stubborn and thought I could handle a small pharmacy."

It was my underestimation of the enemy that led to this terrible mistake.

Fortunately, Fu'er managed to subdue them; otherwise, she would have regretted it immensely.

I will learn from this experience and never make the same mistake again.

She readily admitted her mistake.

Ying Yufu said, "Normally speaking, if they were ordinary spies, it wouldn't be a problem for my older cousin to take them down."

Given their status, even if my older cousin brought people with her today, it would be useless.

Shangguan Fei said, "Even so, I shouldn't have come alone. My death is a small matter; it's a big deal to alert the enemy."

It almost harmed Young Master Mei.

As she spoke, she looked at Mei Songyao beside her.
