Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 1414: Chapter 1373: Small yet Deadly

It is undeniable, Miao Conglu is very beautiful.

Her fair face and delicate features, put together, are like a porcelain doll crafted by the world’s most skillful artisan, without a hint of flaw.

However, if that’s all, it wouldn’t really be stunning, after all, which woman around Lu Chuan isn’t a beauty capable of toppling kingdoms?

What truly surprised Lu Chuan was those heterochromatic eyes, one brown, one blue. This was the first time Lu Chuan had seen such eyes, part filled with human rationality, part as alluring as Yun Ji’s, both untouchable yet extremely captivating.

No wonder, Miao Conglu had chosen to cover her face.

So striking was she that without covering up, she probably wouldn’t be able to take a single step before being noticed.

As for the Gu Insect inside Lu Chuan, he wasn’t all that worried.

They both understood well that they needed each other.

Miao Conglu could use the Gu Insect to find a way back to the Old Lands of Qingqiu, whereas Lu Chuan could provide shelter for her. Without Lu Chuan, she wouldn’t be able to reach the Old Lands of Qingqiu with just her Gu insects.

Even if Miao Conglu were lucky enough to reach the Old Lands of Qingqiu, she wouldn’t stand a chance against other Cultivators or Martial Artists.

After all, only through direct contact could one plant a Gu Insect.

However, there was something Lu Chuan was a little concerned about.

For an entity with a body akin to the Saint Realm to be easily pierced, perhaps Miao Conglu really was exceptional at cultivating Gu Insects; she hadn’t lied about that.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan didn’t get angry, but smiled instead, stepping closer to Miao Conglu with an unwavering gaze.

Seeing this, Miao Conglu was clearly flustered and threatened, “What, what are you going to do?”

“Such beautiful eyes, what a pity, the mind is so malicious.”

“Out in the world, I am not like you, with various means. How could I manage without being extra cautious?”

“Then I don’t understand, since you don’t have Spiritual Power nor can you gather demonic power, how were you able to follow me?”

“No comment.”

Although this response wasn’t part of Lu Chuan’s plan, he could somewhat guess.

Perhaps it was after the Gu Insect was planted in him that Miao Conglu’s aura became much steadier; eighty to ninety percent likely she managed it through the Gu Insect.

“Tower Spirit, is there a way to remove that Gu Insect?”

“It’s difficult, the Gu Insect has already connected with your heart veins. Unless it willingly leaves, forcibly removing it might harm you.

Furthermore, this Gu Insect is special, it doesn’t act out of instinct, but seems to follow some command, lurking in your heart veins, never straying, even I did not notice.”

“After all, it’s what she relies on to survive, I didn’t notice it either.”

This wasn’t the Tower Spirit’s fault. Besides, as long as Miao Conglu hasn’t obtained what she wants, she won’t harm Lu Chuan, so he wasn’t worried about his safety.

But then…

“Yun Ji, keep an eye on her, best if you don’t have any physical contact with her.”

“Hehe, realizing it now is too late! Just a moment ago, you took the initiative to touch me, with such a great opportunity, of course I had to plant a Gu Insect!”

With that, Miao Conglu turned to Yun Ji, slightly parted her red lips, and a spider-shaped Gu Insect crawled out from her mouth. Miao Conglu lightly bit down with her molars, and Yun Ji’s expression changed suddenly.

“How about it? Do you believe me now? Rest assured, I won’t take your lives, after all, it takes time for the Gu Insect to act, but if you want to kill me, it can happen in an instant.

So, as long as you help me get what I want, I’ll remove the Gu Insects from your bodies, and we’ll part ways. How about it? Doesn’t that sound fair?”

Upon hearing this, Yun Ji rarely showed an angry face, responding coldly, “You think you can force me to submit with just a small insect?”

“I advise you to stay calm! Gu Insects aren’t as simple as you think, small yet deadly, sometimes a mere insect can shake a tree.”

…

“Sure enough, fell for it…”

Yun Yan pinched her brow, feeling quite helpless.

She had repeatedly warned Lu Chuan not to get involved with the Miao surname, yet Lu Chuan insisted, and now, here they were, caught right at the lifeline.

Regarding the bloodline of the Fox People, Yun Yan had even trained a similar assassination team, specifically studying the peculiarities of this bloodline.

Though unable to cultivate, it possesses an unusual allure for Gu Insects, serving as an excellent nursery.

For this, Yun Yan selected fifteen women with half-human, half-fox ancestry, teaching them to cultivate Gu Insects and how to best utilize their Charm Techniques to aid in assassination tasks, using seduction as a lure to plant Gu Insects within the opponent’s body, achieving true unknown stealth.

Because of the peculiarity of the Fox People bloodline, Yun Yan specifically established a rule forbidding love between the Fox Tribe and the Human Clan. If found, they would be mercilessly executed, keeping the Fox People bloodline firmly under control.

If an unexpected mixed bloodline does occur, they would be given the Miao surname, ensuring everyone sought to eliminate them.

Until the upheaval had Yun Yan suppressed within the Demon Suppression Pagoda, causing the decline of the Fox Tribe, many clan members were left homeless, inevitably interacting with the Human Clan, eventually leading to the birth of many foxes with the Miao surname.

Although Yun Yan wanted to help Lu Chuan and Yun Ji deal with the current predicament, given that the appearance of the Miao surname could be said to have been facilitated by her, she took responsibility for their plight, yet regrettably, she was powerless against these Gu Insects.

“So, I’ve finished speaking. If neither of you has any objections, can we proceed?”

Meeting Miao Conglu’s provocative gaze, Yun Ji suddenly laughed.

“Very well, I’ll remember you.”

“To be remembered by Lady Yun Ji is my honor.”

“Let’s proceed, right now, people are the knife and the chopping block, while the two of us are the fish at their mercy. If anything is to blame, it’s our own complacency, what else can we do?”

Lu Chuan shrugged and, taking advantage of Miao Conglu’s inattention, gave her a look.

Yun Ji instantly understood, keeping silent.

She read that look, Lu Chuan had something to say.

Thinking this, Yun Ji established a telepathic connection with Lu Chuan, asking puzzled, “What did you want to say just now?”

“Don’t resist her for now, I have a way to deal with the threat she left in us, but I can’t solve both Gu Insects simultaneously. In fact, we don’t even know how many Gu Insects she left in our bodies.

If she notices one Gu Insect dead, she’ll undoubtedly crush another one without hesitation. Then, you’d be in danger.”

“What should I do?”

“For now, remain inactive. I will figure something out, don’t worry, just an insect is no match for me.”

“I understand.”

Given the situation, all Yun Ji could do was trust Lu Chuan to turn their peril into safety.
