his back, cold and distant.He doesn't hang in the air like Rahu, needing you to look up.But his back carried a distance that was hard to reach. This aloofness didn't know whether it was coldness, or c..."Are you serious You just praised me for respecting elders and showing deference, and now you think I'm getting arrogant" I glared at him.

He chuckled softly, tilting his head to look at me and saying, “Then you'll stay here with your old man and get treated. If we don't fix it in a day, we'll do it for two, and if not in two days, then three. This house has a chaotic energy field and depleted yang qi. Living here for too long might attract the minions of ancient monsters. Then you'd have a heap of trouble on your hands, wouldn't you You'd still have to come to me.”

"Ugh~~~ Protecting your wife is just right! You actually want me to beg you Do you even have any self-awareness!" I snarled at him with contempt.

Mu Wanchen glanced at me and rubbed my head: “ … It’s good that you have this awareness.”

It seems I've jumped into a pit.

He pulled me aside and whispered, “I won’t show myself. Deliver these words to your father and listen carefully.”

"I can't remember!" I pouted. "The knowledge you impart is too profound; how can I possibly remember it all in just one go"

"If you don't remember it the first time, I'll say it twice. These are all classic accounts. You've read them a lot since childhood, so you should understand easily." He said kindly.

This attitude is so good, I can only grit my teeth and memorize it carefully. He patiently explained everything, and finally said: "I'm going to get the medicine for dealing with the three-corpse gu now. Once the gu is removed, the gu spirit will be forcibly driven away from people's homes. Then we can deal with the gu spirit."

"Well, alright."

"A-Liang, remember to remind the princess," Mu Wanchen instructed.

Liang Xiaog's paper figure stood on my shoulder, tugging at a strand of my hair and nodding. "Don't worry, Shaman King," he said, "I've got this!"

Mú Wǎn Chén said and then turned to disappear. I shrank at the doorway and told my father, "Father, this seems to be the work of the Three Corpse Gu and Gu Ling. We might have dug up a tomb that housed Gu Ling. This man normally had a lot of karmic obstacles, with toxins from poisonous insects in his body, so it attracted the Three Corpse Gu Ling... As long as he takes medicine to eliminate the Gu, and drives away the Gu Ling, he'll be fine."

The Guiling, upon hearing this, sneered: "This man...has eaten quite a lot of things he shouldn't have...There are nine worms within him, three of them. But you think you can drive me away I am a Guiling raised by the Dragon King. If you dare attack me, you will be hunted to the ends of the earth!"

"Who are you trying to scare You're just a bunch of small-timers claiming to be dragon kings, thinking you rule the world Your little patch isn't even as big as my palm! Bunch of country bumpkins." I shot back with a hint of disdain.

Even if it's overseas, the whole of Southeast Asia and the South Pacific islands combined aren't as big as our territory, so I'm not afraid.

I'm not as humble and polite as my father. I speak without much consideration, and to my surprise, the Gu spirit seemed a little confused. It turned its head and stared at me, asking, "Little girl, do you dare threaten me..."

"You're bound up like a silkworm, your threats are limited in effect, and you can't scare me... Why don't we come to an agreement You leave this man peacefully, and we'll call off the Three Corpses Gu and save him. After all, we're not Taoist priests, exorcising demons and upholding righteousness isn't our job. If you have the ability, then figure out a way to get back to your master yourself, how about that" I asked.

The Ninth Senior Brother whispered in my ear, "Little Junior Sister, it's useless to bargain with these things. These evil spirits and demons are utterly untrustworthy..."

It doesn't matter if it lacks credit, anyway, I have no intention of letting it go. This kind of thing wanders around everywhere, who knows what trouble it might cause

Little Brother Liang was anxiously sighing in my ear: “What a pity, what a pity! If I were here, I would have taken this thing. What good material it is...”

"Do you have the guts to take it"

"Um, well..." he awkwardly shook his head.

It seems I still have to ask Mu Wanchen for help. This kind of curse is generally relentless. Even if it's undone by someone who understands it, there will be lingering resentment and negative energy that clings to the victim for a long time, causing almost irreparable harm.

But I don't quite understand the spirit of the Gu worms. Logically, Gu worms are also a form of "living organism," so having a spirit is normal. But why is this spirit so vicious and wants to harm people

"Look at our Bai Ni, Ling Zhe, and Xuan Yue. They're all poisonous, but they're so cute and adorable, right Why is this Gu spirit so full of resentment" I asked Liang Xiaoge.

Liang Xiaog's voice trailed off: "Your Highness, you said it belonged to your family, of course it would look good no matter how you look at it. It's like looking at a child, one's own is naturally the best..."

The guiling seemed to hear Liang Xiaogē's voice. Its body suddenly twitched, and it rasped, " ...Is there anyone else Is there anyone else in the house... If you dare to destroy my primordial spirit, the Dragon King will not let you go—"

"Then get out quickly, don't occupy other people's homes! We'll leave once we've cured the living. Whether you live or die, we don't want to make enemies with any Dragon King." I said.

Sister Lu wasn't pleased with this. She said sharply, "Little girl, I hired you both with a hefty sum, not to just treat the symptoms and ignore the root of the problem!"

I glared back at her. This Sister Lu has such a hot temper, she doesn't know how to be both firm and gentle.

"My, what a powerful presence you have! Perhaps you should speak to this spirit yourself Convince it to surrender and let you take it away"

"You—"

Sister Lu was both angry and anxious, "Little girl, don't think that because I invited you here, you get to treat me like this. I can just let my husband die! Let him fend for himself! No one is going to threaten me with this!"

Before I could answer, a pair of hands suddenly pulled me back. Mu Wanchen was back.

He wore a black gauze mask, his aura cold and intimidating. I saw his hand move, and Bai Ni instantly appeared beside him, her form shifting into the thickness of an arm. She darted towards Sister Lu's arm with lightning speed.

This was the first time I saw Bai Ni reveal her sharp fangs. Lu Jie suddenly realized something was on her arm and screamed in fright.

"Stop—" I blurted out.

I clung to Mu Wanchen's arm and looked at Bai Ni. Bai Ni opened her mouth wide, her fangs circling up and down, as if she could bite off Lu Jie's forearm in one gulp. Her sharp fangs were almost piercing the skin.

Mu Wanchen coldly turned his head to look at me: "What's wrong She was disrespectful to you, a lesson learned."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ni bit down with her teeth. Lu Jie's whole body shuddered violently like an electric shock. She didn't even have time to scream before she fell to the ground.

It happened almost instantaneously. I watched as Sister Lu fainted and collapsed to the ground, my heart pounding wildly in my chest.

Even the cutest gu spirits are ultimately poisonous.

Even a seemingly harmless female gu, in the end, is still highly venomous.

Even the most mild and indulgent Mu Wan Chen, will eventually become angry.

He coldly beckoned with his finger, and Bai Ni obediently returned to his side, even tilting her head to rub against my back.

It seems to be apologizing to me.

Usually these spirit insects are very playful and close to me, they also obey me well.

But if something happens...

Before the throne of the Shaman King, under the presence of the Divine King, they only obey the commands of Mu Wanchen.e ground and asked, "Wizard King sir, what is this foreign woman"He said it plainly, without reservation."...She is the future princess, she isn't staying here temporarily." Mu Wanchen's tone left no...
