genuine is what I want. Price is no object." Hou Shaowen said seriously.My brother pulled out a suitcase from the bottom of the counter and rummaged through it for a while before finding two on top....An ordinary farmhouse courtyard, cleaned and tidy, looked very spacious.

"This place doesn't even have a cobweb. It doesn't look like anyone lives here at all, and there's no dust. Is it necessary for a gu worm breeding ground to be this clean" I whispered.

Mu Wanchen looked around. The main house's door was tightly closed; he had no idea which room the middle-aged man was hiding in.

"...If you're raising insects for yourself and using their spirits to fulfill your own desires, you must keep your home spotless. It is a manifestation of sincerity in worship." Mu Wanchen replied to me.

He didn't say much, as his attention was fixed on the front door of the main house.

I took a close look. The wooden door was covered in pits and grooves, as if intricate characters had been carved into it.

"To get a Gu spirit from the Shou Palace Gu... This person must be closely related to the Dragon King, and this village is so desolate, he must have spent a lot of effort to create such a place for raising Gu spirits. Let's go and have a look."

Mu Wanchen shielded me behind him, and we pressed against the wall as we walked to the main house door.

I felt a little scared, so I moved away from him slightly. Without noticing, I stepped out of the barrier around him.

Before I even realized it, the phone in my bag suddenly vibrated, emitting a faint buzzing sound that startled me into quickly taking it out and turning it off.

Mu Wanchen glanced back at me, and I raised my phone and said, "Yun Fan Shifu's message, he said there was something going on in the back mountain—"

"Bang!" The wooden door, right in front of us, suddenly creaked open with a dull thud!

I was so startled that I almost screamed. I covered my mouth and took two steps back, only to be quickly pressed against the wall by Mu Wanchen.

What's going on, did the "things" inside hear me

The small tile house next door suddenly opened its door. The petite female fashionista from before walked out, looking around the yard with a wary expression.

He can't see us.

I didn't even dare to breathe, seeing that female cosplayer in a ragged cotton-padded jacket walking towards the main house.

His eyebrows were thin and long, his cheekbones high, and his nose a little flat. He wasn't a good-looking man at all.

“Baby, be good… What scared you Are you still agitated Don’t worry, I threw that man to the back, he’ll be able to produce food for you soon…” The shemale whispered softly to the door panel of the main house.

My skin crawled. What do you mean Teacher Ou was thrown to the back and producing food

"Bang!" Another forceful slam came from behind the door, it seemed this Guiling wasn't listening to him at all.

He himself was frightened and took a step back, raising his hands to the door panel and said with a smile, "Baby, be good... It's not that fast. It takes some time to produce your food. This is my miscalculation. I didn't expect Xi Lingzhou to have consciousness when recovering... I thought she was already a walking corpse, so I sold your offspring to Zhao Jie..."

"That Xi Linzhou actually managed to lay her egg herself, and then by some fluke it melted onto someone else... Baby, wait a little longer, that egg takes time to hatch! Once it hatches, I'll bring it to you right away!"

“Bang!!” A heavy thud came from behind the door, as if it were about to be blown off its hinges.

We were all startled, especially this female impersonator standing at the door "explaining".

He turned pale with fright and took several steps back, waving his hand and saying, "I'll go right now, I'll go see if it's hatched..."

The female cosplayer dashed out of the courtyard like a frightened bird. I hurriedly texted Master Yunfan to inform him that someone had passed by, clutching my phone. Mu Wanchen grabbed my wrist and dragged me to a small corner of the courtyard.

"It's your phone that disturbed the things in the house," he said in a low voice, "That thing should be very ferocious..."

"Why is your Guiling so disobedient Your Guiling are all very obedient..."

The Shaogonggu was taken away by the Dragon King. The Dragon King has the ability to tame it, but this man is far too incompetent... If the gu spirit doesn't listen, it will go mad and attack indiscriminately. This man is terrified, thinking that there's something wrong with his way of raising the gu spirit, so he planted a gu on someone else, producing offspring and their descendants to raise instead.

"This… why would you raise them with their own kind…"

"...because a Gu, is the product of consuming countless of its own kind and other kinds, surviving to the very end... A Gu on the brink of frenzy, either destroy it, or follow its will, allowing it to be satiated by blood and brutality again."

My gaze fell upon Mu Wanchen's shoulders. Both Fen Hun and Ling Zheng were there, these little things that looked so cute to me, all of them had experienced blood and cruelty to survive, and then followed their master for many years of cultivation, only to become such obedient and well-behaved "pets"

Perhaps they were merely concealing all their venomous fangs before Mu Wanchen.

The signal here is pretty bad. I sent it out several times before the reminder message finally went through. Mu Wanchen immediately “locked” me back inside the barrier.

"...What if we miss Master Yun Fan's message" I asked softly.

"Quick and decisive, I'll figure out a way to take this first." He said quickly, pulling out two talismans.

I silently swallowed — at eighteen years old, I'd never thought that a man with a talisman would be so… handsome.

Even though my fellow disciples at home had their talismans, I didn't think much of it. But watching Mu Wanchen twist his fingers like swords and chant with his talisman, I just thought he was so cool.

The talisman fluttered in the wind, and a few faint embers began to devour the paper from the corner. Soon, it transformed into wisps of blue smoke and clumps of ash, falling onto the courtyard.

The moment the ash hit the ground, everything inside the main house seemed to go haywire, jumping and swirling like crazy, almost bursting through the roof.

"...So OCD Getting upset over a speck of dust..." I muttered under my breath.

Mu Wanchen glanced back at me, a hint of warmth flashing in his cold and stern eyes. He curled his lips slightly and said softly, "Don't fool around."

I... I wasn't kidding.

But his attitude and tone of voice made me lose all my temper.

Although he was busy with important matters, he still spoke to me in a gentle voice, making me hesitant to interrupt him any further.

The house spirit inside was very agitated. I guessed it must be feeling quite stifled—the Dragon King was so wealthy and powerful, he would surely have lived in a grand dwelling under his command. But now, it was stuck in this dilapidated earthen hut with thatched roof.

Mu Wanchen had already prepared the sealed bamboo tube. He pinched the formula and broke the door panel — as soon as he opened a crack, an incredibly pungent odor leaked out!

I thought I was seeing things! Isn't that inside a Guiling of Shou Palace How could it, how could it be this strange thing!

This translucent, large figure with armor on its back and something like spines on the armor, is a guardian golem

It's only right that a crocodile sees something and calls out to its ancestors, isn't it

I hid behind Mu Wanchen, and saw a blood-red tongue shoot out from the doorway with incredible speed. Mu Wanchen drew his sword in a swift motion, its blade flashing as it severed the tongue, sending it crashing to the ground.

The tongue that had fallen to the ground, touched by a speck of talisman ash, immediately burst into a ball of ghostly blue flame, burning it to nothing but ashes.

"...hiss." The sound was like a venomous snake spitting.

With a crash, the dilapidated door splintered open, and I could see most of the King Cobra's body.

"This, this is still a male one!" I couldn't help but say.

Mu Wanchen frowned slightly: "How do you know about this kind of thing"

> my brother.My brother was in a bad mood and had no interest in teasing the butterflies. He raised his hand to swat them away.Mu Wanchen immediately reminded, "Don't move! If it feels like it's under...
