Chapter 483: Chapter 168: Holding a Sister in Arms for a Kill! Has the Wheel of Fortune Turned? (10,000-Word Mega Chapter, Subscription Requested)_2
"Oh dear..." The woman scrambled to her feet while hurriedly apologizing to Fan Wu, "It’s my fault for being so clumsy, I didn’t hurt you, did I, strong man?"
But her way of getting up was not normal.
Instead, she adopted a prone position, one hand clinging to Fan Wu’s shoulder while the other rested on his chest.
Her head lay next to Fan Wu’s face, her chin resting on his shoulder, her lips less than an inch from his ear, she whispered pitifully, "Strong man, people outside are slaughtering game and preparing meat and drink; it will take at least an hour."
"So?" Fan Wu moved his gaze to her side profile, the only sentence he had uttered since the woman entered, and it was a brief and shocking one.
"So..." The woman gently took hold of Fan Wu’s wrist and placed his hand on her slender waist, drawing her body closer to his.
She blew into Fan Wu’s ear, "So, strong man, don’t you plan to do something in this hour? I am... naturally barren; you don’t need to prepare a sheep’s gut or dried fish swim bladder."
"Prepare to do what?" Fan Wu chuckled, "Prepare to wait for that strange Gu to burrow into my brain within this hour?"
The word "Gu" seemed to touch upon some taboo, abruptly altering the expression of the woman who was pressed close to Fan Wu.
For at that moment, an exceedingly bizarre-looking Gu was slowly crawling out of her mouth.
The Gu extended its short forelegs as if trying to climb onto Fan Wu’s ear.
As if it wanted to crawl inside Fan Wu’s body through his ear.
The woman’s expression stiffened; the smile on her face became more forced than before, "What are you talking about, strong man? I don’t quite understand...!"
While speaking, she stirred the mana within her body, controlling the Gu in her mouth, attempting to make it crawl faster.
But the next moment!
A hand, large as a palm fan, suddenly intervened, and she watched in horror as a thumb and a forefinger, with incredible precision, pinched the half-emerged Gu from her mouth!
Then she saw Fan Wu forcibly pull the Gu from her mouth and heard him say, "Is this how people around here welcome guests? Quite the special treatment!"
The woman was shocked, "You... how do you know..."
Fan Wu replied, "Your demeanor may suggest seduction, but the chill and murderous intent in your heart are all too clear. As long as I, Taoist Priest, am not blind, I could certainly see it."
"Even if I, Taoist Priest, were blind, I could feel it. Ultimately, your performance was just too hasty."
"Taoist Priest? Taoist?" The color in the woman’s face changed dramatically for the third time.
But soon, her expression softened, and she put on a smiling face again, still in a close position to Fan Wu’s body, "I never expected the strong man to be a Taoist Priest. If you hadn’t spoken up yourself, I really wouldn’t have known..."
"However, Taoist Priest, since you knew something was wrong here so early on, why still try to take advantage of me? Do you think that by simply controlling this Gu, I would no longer be able to trouble you?"
As she spoke, her smile contained a trace of triumph, "Taoist Priest, you underestimate our Blood Gu Sect’s witchcraft..."
"The Gu you’re holding in your hand is named ’Soul-Lacking Gu’; as the name suggests, it can consume a person’s soul without them realizing."
"Allowing it to enter a person’s body through the ear is certainly the easiest way, but it’s not the only way."
"This Gu has very sharp teeth in its mouth, capable of biting through metal, and can burrow into a person’s body through their wounds."
"Taoist Priest, you should be careful of your fingers."
Just as the woman’s words finished, the "Soul-Lacking Gu" that Fan Wu grasped suddenly bit down viciously on his fingers, like a rabid dog.
Its intent seemed to be to rip a large chunk of flesh from Fan Wu’s fingers.
"Hmm?!"
The woman’s triumphant expression froze once again; Fan Wu’s hand that held the Gu was very close to her face, so she could clearly see that her Gu was relentlessly biting Fan Wu’s fingers.
It was precisely because she could see so clearly that she had such a reaction.
As she saw her Gu fail to even break the skin of Fan Wu’s fingertips!
"How is that possible?!" The woman’s eyes bulged in disbelief, the incredulous words escaping her lips.
The Gu, with its metal-piercing teeth,
couldn’t even break a person’s skin?
What a joke!!
If this Gu didn’t appear exactly like the Soul-Lacking Gu in her memory, the woman would have even doubted if she had... accidentally picked up the wrong Gu.
