Chapter 783: Song Qing, How about offering you the position of the Gongsun Family Head’s wife?

Chapter 783: Chapter 783: Song Qing, How about offering you the position of the Gongsun Family Head’s wife?

The eerie and piercing trill came from the wooden box that Gongsun Yibo was holding in his hand.

At this moment, he was pacing around Song Qing, his eyes striking with excitement, and his normally serious and hearty demeanor nowhere to be seen.

Well into his adulthood, the Gongsun Family Head was looking at Song Qing with immense excitement, just like an overjoyed child who had just acquired a new toy.

His pupils were noticeably larger than under normal circumstances. Such a change could only be triggered by a state of extreme excitement.

His complexion slightly reddened, a subtle change yet noticeable to the observant viewer.

His breathing became slightly heavier, with the hand holding the box trembling slightly.

From all his expressions and actions, it was clear that Gongsun Yibo was genuinely interested in Song Qing.

The way he was looking at her suggested that to him, she was...a priceless treasure.

If Gongsun Yibo knew what was going on in Qin Ruan’s mind, he’d certainly tell her excitedly: Isn’t she like a priceless treasure indeed!

A born vessel for the poisonous insect, perhaps one in tens of thousands.

Gongsun Yibo took Song Qing by the shoulder and excitedly addressed Uncle Huo, who was approaching: "This is the one! She is the one!"

He clung to her tightly, as if he feared she would vanish if he let go.

Uncle Huo frowned: "Only one?"

"One is enough. Her constitution is particularly liked by the poisonous insects, it should be related to her blood."

The wooden box in Gongsun Yibo’s hand was again brought in front of Song Qing, and the harsh, shrill noise erupted once more.

The box contained not just one but at least a hundred of these squirming insects.

The largest of them was fat and pale.

The noise was coming from this prominent insect, its voice sounding excited, yet intolerably jarring.

No one saw how Song Qing’s hand, hanging by her side, was trembling.

She was trying her best to control her body, to not reveal too much emotion.

Uncle Huo focused on Song Qing with his question: "What is your name?"

"Song Qing."

The surname ’Song’ indicated that she was not raised from childhood by the Huo’s Secret Guard Department.

Uncle Huo proceeded to ask: "Whose child are you?"

Taking a deep breath, Song Qing replied calmly: "I am the illegitimate daughter of Song Xuewen from the third-class aristocratic Song Family from Capital City. Ten years ago, I was brought back by the Song family from the coastal area of Jiang City, and then sent to the Huo Family."

"I saw you inside the hall earlier, so you already know what we are about to do."

"Yes, I know."

"Are you willing?"

"I am willing!"

"Great! Stand up then," said Uncle Huo, looking pleased. "The Huo Family will not treat the Song Family unfairly. From now on, you will follow Gongsun Family Head’s arrangements."

"Yes!"

Song Qing bowed her head in assent to Uncle Huo and stood up.

Gongsun Yibo, whose hand was still gripping her shoulder, never took his eyes off her as he asked, "What blood type are you?"

With a voice devoid of any discernible emotion, Song Qing calmly replied: "Rh negative blood." Usually referred to as ’Panda blood.’

"I see," Gongsun Yibo nodded knowingly. "Your blood type as well as your physique are both greatly favored by the poisonous insects. However, after saving Uncle Huo, your body will be ruined."

"Ruined?" The light in Song Qing’s eyes trembled as fear flickered within it.

Gongsun Yibo nodded: "As a Hidden Guard for the Huo Family, your body, after being invaded by the yin-eating insect, will never be able to undertake missions again. Your combat power will also never return to its prime."

Song Qing’s fists clenched tightly, and a small creaking sound echoed in the otherwise quiet hall.

If she couldn’t be a secret guard of the Huo Family, then was she not essentially useless?

Her years of dedication would be instantly halted.

Song Qing’s face distorted as she struggled to come to terms with this revelation.

It felt as if her heart was being tightly squeezed by a hand, causing her exquisite pain; it hurt so much that her lips were twitching.

Even in life-threatening situations, she had never felt such fear. As the realization of possibly becoming stricken set in, panic completely engulfed her.

Unaware of her emotional turmoil, Gongsun Yibo remained focused on her: "After Uncle Huo’s life becomes stable, would you agree to be my medicinal person?"

"Of course, I will not mistreat you, nor will I put you in any life-threatening danger. What wealth and power do you desire?"

He was openly trying to steal her away in front of the Huo Family members.

Or perhaps, he was doing it on purpose.

Song Qing originated from a third-class Aristocratic Family, if compared with the Gongsun Family, it would be simple for them to want a medicinal practitioner.

The complexity lies in the fact that Song Qing temporarily belongs to the Huo Family.

Now that she has stepped into the Huo Family, she is no longer a member of the Song Family, and her life or death is already held in the hands of the Huo Family.

If it were any other time, Gongsun Yibo might hesitate about whether or not to claim her as his own.

Right now, he is the saviour of the second master of the Huo Family. If he takes advantage of the situation to demand Song Qing, such a medicinal practitioner, the Huo Family should show him some respect.

Gongsun Yibo knew quite well it was unfair of him, but the quality of Song Qing’s constitution and blood is that of a rare medicinal practitioner. Once this opportunity is missed, there won’t be another one.

For this, he was willing to lose face.

All those present were intelligent. Hearing Gongsun Yibo’s words, the Huo Family members understood his intentions.

All eyes were on Song Qing.

Cornered by powerful figures, Song Qing had already drowned in despair.

Even if she were to become disabled, she had never considered leaving the Huo Family.

Song Qing closed her eyes, her voice deferential yet firm: "Thank you for the kindness, Family Head Gongsun. I will not leave the Huo Family."

This was her bottom line. Without the Huo Family, her existence in this world would have no meaning.

No one understood that in her life, she desired only to follow one person, even if it meant watching from afar.

Gongsun Yibo looked at Song Qing, shocked. He scrutinized her, his eyebrows furrowed deeply.

He dropped another bombshell, "I’m still unmarried. If you agree to become my medicinal practitioner, how would you like the position of Family Head’s wife?"

Song Qing opened her eyes. Her gaze was desolate and barren. It was not the gaze of a living person.

She looked at Gongsun Yibo, a broad-shouldered man with distinctly chiseled features, radiating masculinity.

"I am aware of my humble status and dare not dream of becoming the Family Head’s wife. Thank you, Family Head Gongsun, for your kindness."

"You woman." Gongsun Yibo laughed, examining Song Qing as he shook his head.

He seemed to lose interest in Song Qing, wearing an amicable and satisfied smile.

Gongsun Yibo pulled out the chubby, largest white worm from the wooden box.

"If that’s the case, let’s first test your loyalty to the second master of the Huo Family. If you can endure the pain of the flesh being gnawed on by the corrosive Yin parasite, consider this a pass."

Song Qing looked at the chubby white worm brought before her, her expression fearless. She did not show the slightest hint of fear.

Gongsun Yibo instructed her, "Hold out your arm."

Song Qing rolled up her sleeve, revealing her delicate and smooth wrist.

The corrosive Yin parasite was placed onto her wrist by Gongsun Yibo.

In the blink of an eye, the parasite drilled into Song Qing’s flesh through her skin - miraculously, without leaving any trace on the surface.

Gongsun Yibo’s face revealed a satisfied expression as the bug crawled into Song Qing.

He turned to the Huo Family members and said, "Arrange for her to stay next to the second master Huo. The close proximity of the lethal sun parasite and corrosive yin worm will be beneficial to the second master’s current condition.

Whether Song Qing can become a suitable medicinal practitioner depends on the result tomorrow morning. If she successfully endures, showing no resentment towards the second master, he should wake up tomorrow."

Huo Junxin spoke up, "Why wait until tomorrow? If Song Qing is not suitable, wouldn’t we have wasted a day and need to find another medicinal practitioner?"

Gongsun Yibo nodded with understatement, "The pain of the corrosive yin parasite invading the host’s body is most unbearable in the first day.

If she could make it past the first day without harboring any resentment towards the second master, we can be completely relieved. If she couldn’t bear it, indeed, we’d have to continue searching for another medicinal practitioner."

Hearing this, Song Qing kneeled again.

Facing all the Huo Family members, she said, "I am willingly ready to become the second master’s medicinal practitioner, and bear absolute loyalty towards him. I do not harbor resentment towards anyone!"

The looks the elder Huo and the rest of the Huo Family gave Song Qing softened significantly.

The second uncle Huo approached Song Qing, stared at her with bloodshot eyes, and gently said, "If Yirong remains unharmed, feel free to voice any requests you have!"

Upon hearing this, Song Qing hesitated for a moment, then firmly said, "I have no other requests, I only wish to stay with the Huo Family."
