Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress
Chapter 1121 - 1126: Return to Her Natal Home (2)

Types of Gu bugs raised by someone like Tuotuo, whether it’s the Golden Silkworm Gu, Lice Gu, or Gu bugs like ants and locusts, all required the raising of a Gu King. When deploying the Gu, one usually had to flick their finger out, with distinctions made between one, two, three, or four fingers. Gu bugs released with one or two fingers are easier to treat, and the affected can recover relatively easily. For instance, when she just applied the Gu to Li Ruizhu, she flicked her second finger.

But Gu bugs released with three fingers are much harder to treat, and those released with four fingers are Deadly Gu, which even the caster cannot resolve, let alone Immortals and Bodhisattvas.

At the moment, Tuotuo bent her fourth finger, clearly harboring a killing intent against her. Luo Xue did not dare to be negligent and leaped to the side.

Luo Xue’s martial arts skills were extremely high, and she easily dodged Princess Tuotuo’s attack. The two Gu bugs that were flicked out missed and landed on the ground, where they wriggled their slender bodies and unexpectedly grew a pair of transparent wings, flying straight at Luo Xue.

Seeing Luo Xue dodge easily, a murderous look flashed in Tuotuo’s eyes. She bent her four fingers and ’whoosh whoosh whoosh’ flicked several times more towards Luo Xue, muttering spells under her breath.

In an instant, more than a dozen black bugs with wings rushed toward Luo Xue like ghosts and demons. Luo Xue broke out in a cold sweat and, without thinking of snatching the Cloud-rain Gu anymore, immediately took out pest control powder and sprinkled it over herself.

Having Nangong Yi’s love was important indeed, but if she were afflicted by the Gu and lost her life, what was the use of his love then?

Luo Xue’s insect repellent was highly effective. When the Gu bugs flew close and smelled the medicine, they immediately turned around and darted towards Tuotuo and the man on the couch.

Tuotuo hastily leaped onto the couch, protecting the man’s body, and casually opened a gourd she carried with her.

The gourd contained something unknown, but a fishy smell wafted out. The Gu bugs, attracted by this odd scent, fluttered their wings and all burrowed into the gourd.

"Hehe, quite clever, knowing to bring insect repellent to save your life!"

Tuotuo mocked with a laugh, taking out a gilded box from her ample skirt. "Nevertheless, even if you survive today, once I become the Empress of Great Jin, I’ll still take your life."

As she said this, she reached out to open the gilded box!

In a panic, Luo Xue realized that the box surely contained the legendary Cloud-rain Gu. If that box were opened, the Gu bugs would see the two of them as hosts, and she would have no chance left!

With this thought, she decisively raised her hand, and a sharp dart flew out...

Although Tuotuo was skilled in Gu Technique, her martial arts were quite ordinary. When compared to Luo Xue, there was more than just a slight difference. Just as the dart infused with Luo Xue’s inner strength flew her way, before she even had time to open the box, her wrist was hit!

"Ahh..."

She screamed, clutching her wrist, and the box in her hand fell beside the man’s pillow.

Luo Xue, swift as a shadow, flew forward and scattered a handful of pest control powder, "Dream on about having The Emperor!"

The handful of insect repellent powder fluttered down, landing on Tuotuo and also on the man who lay sleeping, even covering Li Ruizhu, who had just crawled out from under the bed, with the medicine...

Li Ruizhu crawled out, losing any semblance to the dignified mistress she was; her hair disheveled, her face twisted and ferocious, her hands ceaselessly scratching her own body.
