Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 621: Why Are You Still Playing the Victim?
Dragon Spirit arrived at the small town on the border filled with resentment.
The moment he saw Gu Yuan, he rolled his eyes dramatically: "You actually dared to ask me to come to such a godforsaken place!"
Gu Yuan, looking at the lush greenery and pleasant climate around, completely ignored Dragon Spirit’s blatant exaggeration.
"You should go take a look over there first!"
Dragon Spirit: ...
Annoying as hell, even if he was Dragon Spirit, strong and sturdy, rushing all the way here covered in dust, he ought to be allowed a breath first, right?
And now, being ordered around as if he were a beast of burden!
Just as Dragon Spirit wanted to complain and ask if Gu Yuan was crazy, he noticed something while looking at Gu Yuan and furrowed his brow.
A faint aura, both familiar and repulsive, emanated subtly from Gu Yuan.
Dragon Spirit immediately stepped forward, grabbing Gu Yuan’s arm, and leaned in to sniff.
This action made Gu Yuan’s body suddenly tense.
Perhaps due to his previous entanglement with Lin Xiang’er, at this moment, he was extremely sensitive to anyone approaching him, or rather extremely unaccustomed.
"What... what are you doing!"
Hearing the tremor in Gu Yuan’s voice, Dragon Spirit immediately showed a deeply disdainful expression before letting go of Gu Yuan’s arm.
"What can I do! You can’t think I want to get close to you, can you? It’s the disgusting stuff clinging to you!"
These words were so out of context that Gu Yuan was immediately puzzled, his tired eyes filled with confusion.
"What?"
Not until Dragon Spirit retreated a couple of steps did he say: "There’s an aura of Gu Worms refined using Ancient Methods clinging to you. I don’t know exactly what type, but it’s really revolting!"
Gu Yuan: ...
If someone else had said this, Gu Yuan would have thought they were making a mountain out of a molehill, but he fully trusted Dragon Spirit.
Even though Gu Yuan was a grown man, in fact, he especially hated those soft, slimy things like worms.
Just imagining Gu Worms clinging to him without him knowing made his stomach churn.
Seeing Gu Yuan’s poor state, Dragon Spirit retreated a few more steps, clearly afraid of being implicated.
"What do you want me to see? I’ll go right now!"
The fact that Gu Yuan and his team fell into the trap without even noticing means there must be a ’master’ here.
Dragon Spirit just wanted to complete the task immediately and head back as soon as possible. His underlings were still waiting for him to return and feed them!
The newly aware Gu Yuan, still not having recovered, watched Dragon Spirit who couldn’t wait to go home.
Silently repeating ’he’s one of us’ several times, Gu Yuan suppressed his mixed feelings of resignation and helplessness.
"Let’s go!"
He didn’t immediately ask Dragon Spirit what exactly was clinging to them and how to remove it.
With a lead, questioning Lin Xiang’er would soon yield results, and dealing with what’s on them wouldn’t be too late afterward.
Quickly, Gu Yuan took Dragon Spirit to the warehouse area.
"Our people clearly saw there were mechanisms here and even remembered how to activate them, but it was utterly useless."
Dragon Spirit looked at the handful of people waiting there, straightened his back, and walked in, hands behind his back.
After looking around, Dragon Spirit said: "There is indeed a secret passage beneath, but this is likely a family lineage mechanism that can only be opened by someone with matching blood."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan immediately understood a bit more. So, it wasn’t that their people lacked the ability but that they lacked the bloodline power of their counterpart.
Dragon Spirit paused, seeing everyone’s fleeting looks of sudden realization mixed with regret.
After a couple of light coughs, he continued: "Of course, that’s usually the case. There’s an exception where such family heritage-based Mechanical Techniques are mere window dressing in the face of a stronger bloodline power."
As he spoke, Dragon Spirit traced his finger in the air, and a small pool of blood flowed from his palm.
Gu Yuan, standing close to Dragon Spirit, naturally caught the scent of blood.
Before Dragon Spirit could do anything, Gu Yuan’s face suddenly turned pale, his breath quickened, and sweat beaded on his forehead.
Looking as if he were suddenly struck by a severe ailment, Gu Yuan seemed about to collapse.
Dragon Spirit retreated several steps, exclaiming: "No way, is he playing a trick on me?"
Luckily, a few people from the Special Administration Bureau nearby noticed Gu Yuan’s odd state and immediately assisted him.
Seeing Gu Yuan’s apparent distress, the group became alarmed, though their mental fortitude remained steady.
They quickly pulled out emergency Pills from their pockets and stuffed them into Gu Yuan’s mouth.
It was uncertain whether the Pills worked or whether distance from Dragon Spirit alleviated the scent of blood, but Gu Yuan soon recovered.
"Gu Chu, what happened to you?"
Gu Yuan’s hand tightly gripped his support, but honestly, even he was clueless about what had transpired.
Just moments ago, he felt as if he were being tortured, in agony so intense he could hardly endure, and such vivid anguish was a torment too real and too awful.
Just as Gu Yuan waved it off, indicating he was alright.
Dragon Spirit, who kept a few steps away, seemed to remember something and purposely stepped closer, holding his bleeding palm near Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan, who had just started recovering, suddenly turned pale again as the suffocating pain washed over him.
Dragon Spirit removed the blood, and Gu Yuan recovered, then brought it back, and Gu Yuan looked as though about to collapse once more.
After repeating this several times, not only did Dragon Spirit confirm something, but even Gu Yuan and the accompanying Special Administration Bureau members realized something.
Someone broke their silence immediately: "No way, does this blood have such an effect?"
"Something’s not right; we’re all fine. Why is it only Gu Chu is reacting!"
Those present were all trustworthy individuals.
Dragon Spirit didn’t hide it. He directly shared a shocking revelation.
"It’s not my fault. Earlier, I detected something off about your aura.
Now, it seems the Gu Worm inside you remains quite lively, and my blood naturally suppresses such malevolent things.
Smelling my blood, it’s now desperately trying to escape and wreak havoc inside you.
Who knows which organ it’s burrowed into now."
Gu Yuan’s face darkened completely, no wonder the agony from before nearly finished him off.
Upon hearing this, almost instantly, the others understood what had transpired with both Gu Yuan and Lu Zhen in recent days.
"You bastard! Get your blood farther away, or our Gu Chu will suffer more!"
