How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 501: Seizing Fortune

She didn’t hear Shu’er’s voice and couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

Later on, more and more poisonous snakes were thrown at Shu’er. She knew Xinyue had tacitly approved of their battle, otherwise, she would have already intervened.

If she could eliminate this woman here, then there would be no need to compete with her later, making it much easier.

Unfortunately, she always missed when throwing at the woman, while the woman could effortlessly throw a poisonous snake at her.

Then, those snakes would bite her.

Lin Shiyao frowned. Since her rebirth, her luck had improved a lot. Even the snakes wouldn’t easily bite her now.

Even though she’s now immune to poisons, she still felt a bit frustrated.

The long corridor took about one incense stick’s time to finish walking.

The delay was due to the struggle between them.

And also because the path itself was difficult.

The snakes here were quite different from those outside. They were selectively bred by Xinyue.

Lin Shiyao would feel dizzy upon being bitten, not to mention someone without any immunity to poisons.

Therefore, Shu’er had to hang several sachets that repelled poisonous insects on her body. Even if those insects approached her, they wouldn’t want to bite her. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Upon reaching the house, Lin Shiyao had already been bitten several times and felt a bit dizzy, albeit only slightly.

As for Shu’er, she hadn’t been bitten once and also possessed night vision abilities, which greatly enhanced her mental state and made her much better at seeking advantages and avoiding harm compared to Lin Shiyao.

Finally, at this point, Xinyue stopped and sat down on a chair.

"Now, both of you start the test. Let’s see what kind of Gu insects are in front of us."

Talking about Gu insects, Shu’er felt anxious, as she didn’t know much about them, only having read a few books.

But when those Gu insects appeared, Shu’er was stunned.

Nothing else; the space in her books had all these types, and they were depicted very vividly.

Shu’er immediately recognized them.

Yet, she still went to smell them and wore gloves before touching the Gu insects.

These were all highly poisonous creatures.

Lin Shiyao named several Gu insects, and Xinyue showed a satisfied smile.

Shu’er knew this part of the plot: Xinyue was very pleased with Lin Shiyao, then killed the other competitors to keep the secret.

Now, if Shu’er didn’t make any effort, she would be the one killed in the "competition."

If she answered, it would be like competing for fortune with the heroine, and according to the book’s rule, those who compete with the heroine for fortune don’t end well.

Yet if she didn’t compete, she would die now.

Moreover, it was inherently a competitive relationship, and speaking of fairness, she actually came first, so it wasn’t considered snatching.

Shu’er said, "Senior, this sister is correct, but I need to correct one thing: the last Gu insect is a Puppet Gu, not a Corpse Gu."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiyao instinctively refuted.

"No, it’s a Corpse Gu. I’ve seen Puppet Gus, and they don’t look like this."

Shu’er said, "This is a Young Gu, having just transformed, so it looks somewhat similar to the Corpse Gu. As it grows, the differences will become more apparent."

This Gu insect, she happened to see when leaving the Gulan Military Camp.

Tang Zan had invited a Witchcraft Master from somewhere, who then implanted it into Yan Hengyin.

Yan Hengyin almost instantly obeyed that Witchcraft Master.

Lin Shiyao sneered, "In terms of Gu insects, no one knows better than I do. I advise my sister not to say such things just to win the competition."

Shu’er said, "That depends on the senior’s answer."

Lin Shiyao couldn’t see Xinyue’s expression but noted her silence, which gave her an idea.

Xinyue thought Lin Shiyao was impressive enough, given she could recognize the Gu insects through touch, yet Shu’er was even more formidable.

Not only did she recognize the Gu insects, but she also corrected Lin Shiyao’s identification errors.

When she first learned the Gu Technique, she also made mistakes recognizing them.

Thus, Lin Shiyao’s error didn’t bother her.

But Shu’er actually recognized them.

Xinyue’s mind was already somewhat favoring Shu’er.

After all, she was initially the one who answered all the questions, and Lin Shiyao joined later.

Clearly, her foundation had been set from the beginning.

Xinyue said, "For the last test, do either of you have any particularly powerful Gu insects?"

After these words, torches were lit in the room.

Lin Shiyao gritted her teeth. She did have powerful Gu insects, but those were all shaken out of her space by Shu’er. Now, the most powerful in the space was the Corpse Gu.

Actually, the Corpse Gu is considered quite formidable in the Southern Border. This Gu insect is difficult to cultivate and extremely potent.

It can almost instantly kill someone and can also control people.

Therefore, using this Gu insect for the trial was more than sufficient.

Moreover, the Silver-faced Woman didn’t seem like someone who could produce a Gu insect.

Shu’er was troubled too, since she indeed had no Gu insects.

She couldn’t use Lin Shiyao’s Gu insects from the space, or her disguise would be revealed.

Then, her eyes brightened as she thought of the butterfly formed together by the Golden Silkworm Mother Gu and Child Gu.

With the dim light, they both saw the golden-winged butterfly in Shu’er’s hand.

Calling it a butterfly is accurate; it’s actually closer to a moth, but it’s mutated so much that it’s no longer like a moth.

Its golden wings even resemble a human face.

The room was silent enough to hear a pin drop, then Lin Shiyao shook her head.

"Your butterfly looks nice, but it’s not a Gu insect. You don’t need to use this to fool senior."

Shu’er said, "This is a Gu insect."

Lin Shiyao sneered, "Then tell us, what does this butterfly do."

Shu’er took out a Short Flute, played a tune, and the butterfly flapped its wings twice before flying towards Lin Shiyao.

Lin Shiyao frowned. Then, when the butterfly reached her, she felt dizzy. Upon recovering, she found herself respectfully offering the Corpse Gu to Shu’er with both hands.

She looked distressed at the butterfly still flying around her.

"This butterfly doesn’t need to be placed inside a body to control someone?"

Shu’er nodded.

This was a discovery she had made after many explorations.

Xinyue reached out to the butterfly, and Shu’er immediately played the flute, causing the butterfly to obediently land on Xinyue’s hand.

Xinyue smiled; this butterfly was quite interesting indeed.
