The yandere, arrogant man is online, a green tea bitch, whispering "my darling".

He gave that handsome and alluring face a critical look; he looked restless and was obviously a scumbag.

With inexplicable hostility, Mu Qing, carrying little Mu Ling, turned and followed Yu Jiu Si.

The soft, white-haired little Mu Ling was still biting her finger, staring at the handsome uncle in front of her with bright, sparkling eyes.

Ji Luobai didn't understand why the other party was hostile towards him, but he didn't care; he was just a little kid.

Feeling uneasy, I wanted to follow them inside, but was stopped at the entrance by a large Buddha statue.

Sang Wang leaned lazily against the door, arms crossed, glancing at him indifferently, his posture nonchalant but his eyes carrying a hint of coldness.

"What are you doing?" Ji Luobai asked, looking at the man blocking the doorway with displeasure.

"No one is allowed to enter until he comes out obediently." The lazy, indifferent tone revealed an unspeakable malice.

Xi Qian also quietly approached Sang Wang's side, silently took out his weapon, crossed his arms, and began to stand guard with an icy expression.

Seeing the two people's tough attitude, Ji Luobai was both angry and helpless, and could only pace back and forth anxiously outside.

Still a bit grumpy from just waking up, Mu Qing followed Yu Jiusi into the bedroom, her childish voice tinged with impatience, "What are you trying to do by bringing us all this way here?"

The people in front stopped.

Yu Jiusi slowly turned around, his expression calm yet somewhat serious. "I may have found the person you are looking for."

For a moment, Mu Qing was stunned and stood frozen in place, holding little Mu Ling.

Only Xiao Muling blinked her big eyes, looking around at the unfamiliar environment. Suddenly, she started making random "ee-ee-ya-ya" noises at the person on the bed and reached out her little hands for a hug.

Stunned and bewildered, Mu Qing looked over and discovered a person lying on the bed, though she couldn't make out their face.

I took two slow, hesitant steps forward and finally saw the face clearly. It was beautiful and radiant, yet it had a sickly pallor.

Mu Qing stared at the unconscious Qin Zilan for a long time, then turned her head stiffly to look at Yu Jiusi, her surprised and shocked eyes seeming to be asking her for confirmation.

"Didn't you say that you'd recognize someone the moment you meet them?" Yu Jiusi asked in a remarkably calm tone.

"What's wrong with her?"

It took a long, long time for the handsome young man to find his voice again; it was hoarse and heavy.

"I was too late. When I found her, she was already injured. Now her injuries have almost healed, but the Gu poison in her body has been awakened and is constantly eroding her life force."

"To save her, we need your help," Yu Jiusi said earnestly, staring at the boy.

"Gu? Could it be a backlash?" Mu Qing asked anxiously.

They raise gu (a type of poisonous insect) from a young age, and some even feed the gu with their own bodies. People in the clan are often devoured by the gu and die tragically.

Therefore, his mother often taught him that he should not feed the Gu poison to others unless absolutely necessary, lest he suffer a backlash.

"No." Yu Jiusi gave him a cryptic look.

"What happened to her? Was she bewitched?" Mu Qing bit her lip nervously as she looked at the unconscious Qin Zilan.

"You could say that," Yu Jiu thought for a moment.

"Let me take a look, perhaps I can help." Mu Qing couldn't wait to step forward and take Qin Zilan's pulse.

Yu Jiusi grabbed his wrist, looked up, and said, "You can't do it. Suppressing the Gu worms in her body requires a sacred object."

Upon hearing this, Mu Qing paused, brushed away Yu Jiusi's hand, took a step back while holding Xiao Muling, and said in a somewhat fierce tone, "I don't have any sacred objects."

Looking at the irritable and guilty brat in front of him, Yu Jiusi suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and turned to look at the little Mu Ling in his arms who was babbling.

Seeing her gaze fall on Xiao Muling, Mu Qing, like a big wolfhound whose tail had been stepped on, bared her teeth and glared at her, protecting the cub in her arms.

"The only way to save her is with the sacred object. So, are you going to save her or not?" Yu Jiusi casually tossed the difficult question back to her.

Mu Qing stood there, her eyes red and conflicted, hesitating.

Ignoring the boy's reddened eyes, Yu Jiusi spoke casually.

"I have long heard that the Gu-man Village has a sacred object, which is so powerful that it can suppress all Gu and is the nemesis of all Gu worms."

"The sacred object was passed down only to the Holy Maiden, and no one has ever seen its true form except for the Holy Maidens of each generation."

"Everyone thinks the sacred object is a certain thing, and I used to think so too, but now..."

Yu Jiusi suddenly stopped, slowly raised her eyes to look at the babbling, pouting little Mu Ling, her expression meaningful.

For hundreds of years, who could have imagined that the so-called sacred object was not an object but a living person?

No, or rather, it's about bloodline inheritance.

Each saintess is a sacred object.

"What exactly do you mean?" Mu Qing stared at Yu Jiusi, whose expression was unclear, with a gloomy and dark expression, her whole body on guard.

Before he left home, his mother told him the secrets of the clan and told him to take good care of his sister, promising that she would not let anyone hurt her.

"I'm not interested in your heritage; I'm just telling you that what we can guess, others can guess too."

"Do you think you can protect her all by yourself? Or with another help?" Yu Jiusi pointed at Qin Zilan on the bed with a cold expression.

Mu Qing's pupils trembled slightly, and she hugged Xiao Mu Ling tightly, seemingly a little scared.

The giggling Mu Ling seemed to sense his unhappiness, so she softly snuggled up to him and hugged him, being incredibly obedient.

Mu Qing lowered her head and remained silent for a long time before slowly raising her head and looking at Yu Jiusi with a resolute gaze. "What do you want us to do?"

She's right. Whether it's because of blood ties, clan, or mother, Qin Zilan must be saved.

"Any method is acceptable, but you are not allowed to hurt her," Mu Qing said coldly.

"Don't worry, just one drop of blood is enough." Yu Jiusi ignored the boy's threat and took Xiao Muling's little hand, drawing a drop of blood from her tiny fingertip.

Xiao Muling didn't resist and obediently let her take her blood.

Yu Jiusi held the drop of blood in his palm and carefully instructed Mu Qing, "I don't know much about witchcraft, so I need you to do it. Introduce this blood into her body and make the rampaging Gu worms inside her fall into a deep sleep again."

"Aren't you going to take it out?" Mu Qing placed Xiao Mu Ling on the bed, looking puzzled.

"No, she will die once the Gu worm leaves her body." Yu Jiusi's tone was very heavy and serious.

Mu Qing pursed her lips, took the blood droplet, hesitated for two seconds, and slowly introduced the blood droplet into Qin Zilan's body.

As Mu Qing made her move, Yu Jiusi waved her hand to set up a barrier, glancing out the window with an inscrutable expression.

Mu Qing gradually began to struggle, and Qin Zilan, who had been sleeping peacefully, also showed a pained expression and began to struggle slightly.

Yu Jiusi maintained the barrier, constantly watching for any movement outside the window, and pursed her lips tightly.

Finally, after the Gu worms fell asleep again and Qin Zilan regained her composure, a thunderbolt struck.

It slashed vertically down into the room where the three people were, out of sight of the others.

The barrier was shaken, and Yu Jiusi's petite body trembled.

Thunderclaps lashed down, snapping the trees around the villa and making the entire villa seem shrouded in lightning, a truly terrifying sight.
