The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 333 - 243: The Two Who Were Cursed by Gu

The two red worms seemed to be following some command; they rushed to the feet of Jun Ning and Ye Ying, biting both of their legs.

Ye Ying, feeling something bite his leg, instinctively glanced at it and turned pale upon seeing the red worm.

This, this—isn’t just any insect, it’s a Gu worm!

Once it bites a person, they get poisoned.

If it burrows into the body, one would be cursed with Gu, facing a life-threatening situation.

Ye Ying dreaded the thought of the worm creeping inside him and suffering the bitter curse again. Yet more than that, he feared the worm on Jun Ning’s leg entering her body.

Without caring for the worm on his own leg, he hurriedly swatted the one on Jun Ning’s, and then turned to swat his own.

But it was already too late!

As he helped Jun Ning, the worm had already seized the chance to burrow into his body. He had missed the best moment to get rid of it.

"You’re cursed! Within seven days, death is inevitable!"

The burly man said to Ye Ying.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ying clenched his fists, wanting to say something, but his strength failed him, his vision blurred, and he passed out.

Jun Ning didn’t recognize the Gu worm nor fully grasped what the burly man’s words meant! She was simply worried for Ye Ying. "What did you say? Ye Ying will die within seven days?"

"Yes, certainly!" the burly man reaffirmed, then looked at Jun Ning with a gloating and provoking gaze.

Without overthinking, Jun Ning suddenly ran to the man, and somehow pulled out a dagger, pressing it against his back. She said, "Tell me, how can I save him? If you don’t speak, I’ll kill you."

Jun Ning genuinely intended to kill.

The dagger in her hand showed no mercy as it pressed against the man’s waist, with not an inch of concession.

The meat on the man’s waist was pierced by the tip of the dagger, causing him to bleed.

Bright red blood stained the man’s back, a shocking sight.

Unbothered, Jun Ning urged again, "Speak! Didn’t you hear me?"

The man saw that Jun Ning wasn’t joking but was dead serious, which infuriated him. He wished to beat her for threatening him.

However, the dagger against his waist, poised to take his life at any moment, made him abandon that idea.

He forced a smile and said, "Little girl, don’t be impulsive, let’s talk this through!"

"Talk, my ass!" Jun Ning was fierce, "Hurry up, tell me how to save him, and what exactly is with that red worm?"

"You mean these worms?"

The man grabbed a handful of red worms from a pouch at his waist. He opened his palm, displaying them to Jun Ning.

Jun Ning, with trypophobia, felt her scalp tingle at the sight of the worms, nodding cautiously, "Yes, precisely these worms!"

The man said something to the worms, and unbeknownst to Jun Ning, one worm slipped down his body, crawled to her foot, climbed up her leg, and bit her before she noticed.

Then, before she realized it, the worm swiftly burrowed into her body.

The worms moved so quickly, coupled with the multitude in the man’s grasp, Jun Ning didn’t pay them attention, focusing solely on the dagger at the man’s back, hence she didn’t notice one worm missing from his hand.

It wasn’t until the man said, "Young lady, my worms aren’t ordinary; they bear a fearsome name."

Jun Ning felt an ominous premonition, asking, "What name?"

The man chuckled, "They are called Gu worms!" A pause, "You’ve been cursed with my Gu worm!"

"What?" Jun Ning widened her eyes in disbelief. She might not recognize Gu worms, but understood their dreadfulness.

"Since when?" How did she not know?

Just as she finished speaking, her eyes closed, and she fainted.

"You two are indeed formidable, but even you can’t best my Gu worms!" The man sneered at the two fallen people and instructed his companions, "Lock the big and the small one in the woodshed."

"Yes, second-in-command."

Some henchmen carried Ye Ying and Jun Ning into the mountain stronghold’s woodshed and locked them up.

Ye Ying and Jun Ning remained unconscious for a day; it was the pressing urge to urinate that woke them at night!

Awake, they saw ropes binding them, exchanged a look of despair.

Finally, Jun Ning couldn’t help shouting, "Is anyone there? I need to relieve myself urgently!"

No response came.

With moonlight, Jun Ning could see figures outside through the window.

People were there, yet none were willing to respond.

Jun Ning was speechless!

Were they being treated as people or livestock? Not even allowed bathroom breaks?

"Ye Ying, we must devise a way to untie these ropes!" Jun Ning said, then began searching for anything sharp to free them.

Ye Ying quickly scanned the area, finding nothing useful, then said, "Ah Ning, come over, help me remove the belt at my waist!"

Jun Ning looked at Ye Ying’s belt, "Could there be something special about this belt?"

Ye Ying explained, "Though it appears ordinary, it is a Soft Sword. At a crucial moment, it can save lives!"

Since almost being killed by the Wushang Sect, Ye Ying had worn this belt! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"You really are prescient!" Jun Ning praised, examining Ye Ying’s belt closely before turning around to help remove it.

Ye Ying adjusted the belt handle closer to Jun Ning’s bound hands. After much effort, she managed to pull out the sword.

She first cut the ropes binding Ye Ying.

Once free, Ye Ying aided Jun Ning in getting untied, then re-fastened the belt.

Ye Ying was about to lead Jun Ning to escape, but she refused, saying, "Ye Ying, since we’re both cursed by the Gu worm and in mortal danger, we shouldn’t flee! We must stay to find a way to break the curse."

"You were cursed too?" Ye Ying was shocked, "Let me see where the Gu worm entered your body!"

——

Method."

"You were cursed too?" Ye Ying was shocked, "Let me see where the Gu worm entered your body!" Method."

"You were cursed too?" Ye Ying was shocked, "Let me see where the Gu worm entered your body!"
