expert. I didn't dare speak out of turn."Mr. Lin, your neighborhood, your house, and even the interior decor are all very well done. Did you hire an expert" I asked nervously."These were all done by t...I wanted to reach out and pet the little guy, but Mu Wanchen immediately reminded me, "It's poisonous, although it won't bite you, don't treat it like an ordinary ferret."

Diao'er, no wonder you are so cute.

"It's called Xuan Yue, it won't appear easily... It's very gluttonous and loves all kinds of fruits." Mu Wanchen said somewhat helplessly.

"I thought this snake fruit was yours that you were eating." I said with a laugh.

What I understand these Gu Spirits to be are refined Gu, much like the Snake Spirit. They can be powerful or weak, clad in scales transforming into a Jiaolong, or even become my "protective barrier".

I can't expect the witch king to tidy up, I mean, although I'm a lazy pig at home too, but I still know how to wash dishes and boil water.

While I was washing the cup, Mu Wanchen leaned against the door and briefly told me about it.

Before, in my understanding, centipedes were all insects. Just the word "gu," the top is an insect and the bottom is a dish, meaning insects are inside a dish.

He said lightly, that's an understanding too, but the concept of Five Immortals and Five Insects is more than that.

"What are the Five Immortals and Five Insects"

"Heaven, earth, gods, humans, ghosts, and five immortals; scaled creatures, hairy ones, feathered ones, insects of the five kinds."

This is the classification of immortals by ancient sages, as well as their explanation of the concept of "worms".

In their concept, "insect" wasn't the kind of small beetle or bug I imagine, but rather they categorized all animals as "insects."

"Gewan-lin Mao Yu Kun," "Gewan" refers to animals without shells or feathers, such as reptiles; "Lin" refers to aquatic creatures or armored animals, with dragons at their head; "Mao" refers to land animals, with qilin (mythical creature) as the most revered; "Yu" refers to birds, with phoenix as the leader; and "Kun" represents what we understand as insects today.

This basically covers most animals, and our ancestors called them the five insects.

So, as long as they belong to these five insects, there's a possibility they can be refined into a蠱

"Aren't the grubs supposed to kill each other off in there" I asked, confused.

“Those were venomous insects, or aggressive ones,” Mu Wanchen turned to look at the snake fruit that had secretly disappeared from the table, and said helplessly, “It’s hard to find an animal like Xuan Yue with a soul, how could they make them kill each other”

"So, what's your natal蠱" I asked curiously. "Aren't all Gu masters supposed to have a natal Gu A really powerful and amazing one."

Mu Wanchen clasped his hands together and tilted his head, saying, "No one is willing to answer that question."

Well... I scoff.

"...Half of my natal gu is also yours, and you still ask" He sneered coldly.

“Female Gu and Male Gu They… what are they exactly” I only know the genders, but not the species yet.

"I don't know, I haven't raised one in a very long time. Male gu can be passed down through generations, but the female gu is too weak... When its power grows, you will feel the changes in your body and abilities yourself." Mu Wanchen said.

"So, the Gu King you mentioned... how do you cultivate it... After raising a female Gu, what next"

Perhaps I asked too many questions, he narrowed his eyes slightly and gave me a look that shut me up.

He supported himself with one hand on the kitchen cabinets above, leaning in close to my ear and whispering, “ … King and queen, yin and yang, how do you say we should refine it In our place, a woman comes of age at fifteen, but in your society, a woman marries at twenty. Do you think that's why I keep putting off coming for you”

I almost "washed" the cup to pieces, my face was both hot and funny. I couldn't help but laugh: "You, you still... you're quite traditional, poof..."

It's not right to laugh. People are following the ancestral customs passed down through generations, which is a good thing.

“So you think I’m angry because I have a man, and that’s why I’m so fierce… I’m telling you, you’ve got it all wrong. One day the truth will come out, and then you’ll have to apologize to me!” I slammed my fist on the glass, saying it fiercely.

Mu Wanchen let out a cold snort: “That’s because they were afraid you would be killed by the female gu, that’s why they were angry.”

“Well, well, well, does it really matter if I have a man or not~~”

He reached out and squeezed my waist hard, making me both ache and itch: "Of course it's important, Xiao, Wang, Fei..."

The atmosphere didn't last for three seconds before the doorbell rudely interrupted.

"Ding dong, ding dong..."

I wiped my hands and walked to the door, peering out through the peephole. It was a young man in a white shirt.

I pressed the intercom by the door and asked, “Hello, is there anything I can do for you”

The other party enthusiastically asked if I needed to order fresh milk. I turned my head and asked Mu Wanchen, "Do any of your Gu spirits need to drink milk Do you like it"

He nodded. "...... Xuan Yue likes."

This little weasel named Xuan Yue is a foodie, she likes to eat anything.

I opened the door and ordered two portions from the salesman through the security bars. Just as I closed the door and took two steps, the doorbell rang again.

I thought the little brother forgot something, and defenselessly turned back to open the door——

Outside the anti-theft door, stood a woman wearing a hooded cloak. Her hat concealed most of her face.

Only her pale chin and red lips were visible.

I was taken aback, seeing those scarlet lips suddenly open. Alarm bells went off in my head!

"Ah! A ghost!" My memory of the female ghost is simply her deathly pale chin and blood-red lips!

The moment I slammed the door, a wisp of black smoke billowed from her mouth.

Mu Wanchen was just about to go into the room to check on the snake spirit when he heard my voice and immediately appeared behind me, pulling me away.

The snake fruit on the table fell, and the spirit weasel darted forward, biting at the lump of black mist behind the door.

It is a furry leg, looking like a spider's.

The woman outside immediately fled, Mu Wanchen's finger twitched, and a gust of cold wind suddenly rushed out from the house, passing through the burglar-proof door and chasing after her.

A few seconds later, a scream came from the hallway, followed by a heavy object falling to the ground.

"Is that the fortune teller!" I asked anxiously.

Mu Wanchen didn't answer, he had already chased after him.

"Stop, stop killing him!" Master Yunfan said to keep him alive!

This is really hard to guard against. This woman must have been watching me for ages. As soon as the sales guy left, she pretended to open the door right behind him.

This was my oversight... These cunning and ruthless old foxes know exactly when to seize the moment of a person's lapse in vigilance.

I don't know if I should go and take a look, or stay at the door to guard the guiling inside. These little things won't run around, will they

At a loss of what to do, a prickling sensation, as if a jolt of electricity had run through my skin, emanated from the other end of the hallway.

I slowly lifted my head and looked toward the other end of the hallway.

On the side of the elevator entrance, a black hole slowly appeared, surrounded by ragged fissures.

A gaunt, yet impossibly large withered hand emerged from the black hole, reaching for me from afar, ever so far away—

The weasel suddenly let out a sharp, piercing shriek.

Is it scared

I'm scared too, my scalp is numb. What on earth is this

That hand slowly opened, stretching out to me in an instant!

"Oh! Mu, Mu Wanchen——!!"ntinued, “Since the Conferred Gods War three thousand years ago, heaven and earth were cleansed. All demons, ghosts, talented individuals, and extraordinary people disappeared. Nations were establishe...
