Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Poisonous Gu! Exchange Conditions!

"Does it still hurt?"

Contrary to Shen Qingzhi’s expectation, Su Luo did not first ask who had hit her but instead expressed concern for her pain, which sent a wave of warmth through her heart.

"It’s fine now, it doesn’t hurt!"

She smiled.

"Did Zhou Shihao do it?" Su Luo asked only then.

Shen Qingzhi nodded, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips. Even with a palm print on her cheek, it did not detract from her beauty. Instead, it added a touch of vulnerability that was endearing, stirring a protective urge in Su Luo’s heart.

"How was my cooperation just now?"

Shen Qingzhi smiled faintly.

The reason she had just been conversing with Zhao Li wasn’t that she had nothing better to do than to provoke Zhao Li, but because she had heard the voice transmission from Su Luo, asking her to divert Zhao Li’s attention.

"Very good!"

Su Luo also smiled. He felt that at that moment, Aunt Shen seemed almost as if she was seeking recognition for her efforts, unlike the high and mighty noblewoman and queen she usually was, seeming more like a young girl instead.

However, it clearly wasn’t the time for reminiscing.

Both Su Luo and Shen Qingzhi understood this.

So, Su Luo immediately took out the Invisibility Talisman and attached it to Aunt Shen’s body: "I’ll take you away first."

"Okay." Shen Qingzhi nodded.

Then, Su Luo picked Shen Qingzhi up by the waist and, both turning invisible, they swiftly left the room.

Su Luo planned to move Aunt Shen to a safe place before Zhou Shihao and Chen Lihua realized that the "Su Luo" they had seen was an imposter.

...

Zhou Mansion.

In the courtyard.

Just after Su Luo left the room with Shen Qingzhi, Chen Lihua’s expression suddenly changed: "Something’s not right."

"What is it?" Zhou Shihao hurriedly looked at Chen Lihua.

Chen Lihua said, "Shen Qingzhi has left the room."

She had planted a Gu Worm in Shen Qingzhi’s body, which allowed her to control Shen Qingzhi’s life and also to determine Shen Qingzhi’s location through the connection with the Gu Worm.

As her words fell, Chen Lihua leaped up, soaring into the air, and darted back towards the direction of the rear courtyard.

"Not good, has she noticed?" Lin Songbai was startled to see Chen Lihua suddenly turning back. He leapt into the air to follow, intending to stop Chen Lihua.

Even if he could delay her briefly so Su Luo could get Shen Qingzhi away, it would be beneficial.

But just as Lin Songbai leapt up, Zhou Shihao raised his hand with a swing.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

In an instant, the gunmen ambushing inside and outside the Zhou Mansion opened fire in unison.

Countless bullets flew towards Lin Songbai.

Lin Songbai’s expression shifted slightly, and he erected his Protective Gang Qi, constantly altering his position in mid-air to dodge most of the bullets.

Still, a few hit him, but fortunately, as a Grandmaster, he could withstand bullets, and they were not able to penetrate his Protective Gang Qi.

However, they forced him to retreat and land back on the ground.

"Old man, you’d better just stay put," Zhou Shihao called out from a distance to Lin Songbai with a cold voice.

Meanwhile.

In the backyard.

Embracing Shen Qingzhi, Su Luo utilized Phantom Step, employing stealth to become invisible. Even though Chen Lihua detected their escape and promptly arrived, also setting off the electronic bio-sensor alarms within Zhou Mansion, everything unfolded as Su Luo had anticipated. He had taken a step ahead, rushing out of Zhou Mansion with Shen Qingzhi in his arms.

"So what if you take Qing Zhi away with you? She’s infected with my Gu worm. With just a thought, I could take her life!"

After chasing out of Zhou Mansion, Chen Lihua suddenly halted and snorted coldly.

Su Luo, stealthily invisible, suddenly felt Qing Zhi’s delicate body tremble, her face contorted in agony. This caused Su Luo’s expression to instantly change.

His Divine Sense immediately probed into Qing Zhi’s body.

"As expected, there’s a Gu worm."

Right there in Qing Zhi’s arm, the Gu worm seemed to have been activated, causing a faint red glow to emanate from the skin around it. This made Qing Zhi’s arm appear covered in a special, somewhat demonic pattern.

He had a way to deal with the Gu worm.

But that would take time.

And at present, there simply wasn’t enough time to remove Aunt Shen’s Gu worm, nor was it possible to carelessly flee with Aunt Shen in tow.

Doing so would be sentencing Lin Songbai and the others to death.

Moreover, because of the Gu worm, Su Luo felt that Chen Lihua should be able to track Aunt Shen down. This was likely why Chen Lihua discovered Aunt Shen’s abduction so quickly.

Left with no choice,

Su Luo had to reveal himself.

Chen Lihua’s gaze remained fixed in their direction. Seeing Su Luo and Qing Zhi materialize out of thin air, her eyes sparkled with keen light.

Such an Invisibility Technique was far too mysterious and unfathomable for her!

Greed uncontrollably surged within her!

"Who could have thought that Su Luo in the front courtyard was an imposter!"

Beyond greed, Chen Lihua was also slightly shocked. After all, even her perception had been deceived by the fake Su Luo in the front courtyard.

"What must be done for you to remove the Gu worm?"

Su Luo, holding Qing Zhi, directed his mana into her body, focusing it on her arm to temporarily suppress the Gu worm, alleviating Qing Zhi’s pain.

"I can remove the Gu worm, but in exchange for your Invisibility Technique," Chen Lihua straightforwardly proposed.

"Agreed," Su Luo answered, "but I don’t trust you."

"You can only trust me. Otherwise, if I fully activate the Gu worm, Qing Zhi will be tormented to death!" Chen Lihua snorted coldly.

The more Su Luo cared about Qing Zhi, the more she could manipulate him.

"Let’s compromise then. Transfer the Gu worm to me, and I’ll give you the Invisibility Technique. Then you can remove the Gu worm from my body, how about that?" Su Luo suggested after a moment of contemplation.

"No, Su Luo, you can’t take that risk," said Qing Zhi immediately.

Su Luo communicated with her through a whisper, "Don’t worry, the Gu worm won’t affect me." But outwardly, Su Luo still said, "It’s okay. I’d rather suffer myself than let you be in pain."

Chen Lihua sneered, "Oh, what a gallant gesture, to suffer yourself rather than see her in pain. You truly are lovesick. I can agree, but I will change the terms slightly. Give me half of the Invisibility Technique first. Once I verify it’s correct, I will plant the Gu worm on you and incidentally remove the one from Qing Zhi. After that, you give me the other half of the Invisibility Technique. Once I verify it’s complete, I’ll then remove the Gu worm from you."

Su Luo contemplated for a moment, then nodded, "Fine!"

Chen Lihua’s heart leapt with joy.

Controlling Su Luo with a Gu worm was clearly more advantageous than controlling Qing Zhi.

By controlling Su Luo, all his secrets would become hers.

Just that there was no opportunity to plant a Gu worm on Su Luo; however, now he was willingly submitting himself, which was a pleasant surprise.

Hence, she wasn’t planning to transfer the Gu worm from Qing Zhi to Su Luo but to plant an even more potent Gu worm on Su Luo to completely control him.

As for the Invisibility Technique, it was to ensure safety. She intended to secure it first before removing or planting the Gu worm.
