Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 142 - 115: The Miao Girl
Several gazes simultaneously turned towards the source of the sound.
It was a young girl who seemed about the same age as Mu Yunchu.
The girl’s skin was as fair as snow, and her ink-black long hair flowed freely behind her. She wore complex silver ornaments on her head and colorful Miao clothes embroidered with strange patterns that swayed gently in the wind, creating a crisp clinking sound.
The meaning hidden in the three people’s gazes was each different.
Li Shang was curious, while Ah Ji looked at her as if seeing a savior.
He shouted, "Save me, Ah You!"
"This woman is going to kill me!"
The girl he called ’Ah You’ did not look at him but nodded towards Mu Yunchu, always wearing a faint smile.
"Hello, my name is Zhi You."
"I am a Gu Master."
Given her appearance, it wasn’t hard to guess the girl’s identity.
Her gaze shifted slightly to the few White Beard elders behind her in similar clothing, guessing that her identity should be high.
Her ability was also high.
"This is the traitor who defected from our clan."
Zhi You pointed to Ah Ji, who was sitting on the ground, looking quite miserable.
"If possible, please hand him over to our clan for us to deal with. Then I will owe you a favor."
According to Zhi You, the Gu Technique of their Miao lineage is traditionally passed down to women, not men. And this Ah Ji, if viewed from the genealogy, could be considered her cousin.
Not only did he secretly learn the Gu technique for years, but he also privately raised a Lifebound Gu Worm.
Which fought against Mu Yunchu just now, a centipede.
Greedy beyond measure, as time went by, he refused to remain constrained, so he stole Zhi You’s Gu Worm and left Nanpo.
Mu Yunchu was roughly aware of the subsequent events.
Hearing Zhi You’s request, Mu Yunchu hesitated slightly.
During this time, Ah Ji, regardless of the severe pain in his leg, crawled to Zhi You’s feet and clutched her ankle, saying:
"Ah You, quickly defeat this person. She is a Daoist!"
"Defeat her, and we can restore the name of our Gu Technique lineage!"
Zhi You showed no excess emotion. However, the several White Beard elders behind her shook their heads somewhat helplessly.
It seemed everyone thought that even at this moment, he was still thinking about these things and was beyond hope.
Ah Ji, ignored by everyone, flew into a rage but could only angrily let go of Zhi You’s pant leg.
"Cowards! All of you are cowards!"
"With how you are now, when will our Gu Technique lineage ever become famous?"
If it weren’t for the ridiculous ’passed to girls, not boys,’ he would certainly have achieved far more by now.
Why are the Buddhists and Taoists more famous than us?
Clearly, the Gu Technique is the strongest!
Everything he did was to prove this to the public.
After he said that, Zhi You finally looked at him, her expression somewhat compassionate, gently asking: "Do you truly believe you did nothing wrong?"
"Of course."
Under Ah Ji, it was all blood, his complexion had already turned pale, yet he still snorted unwillingly.
"I did nothing wrong."
The women harmed by the Gu Worm were merely ants, how could they compare to his grand plan?
If he could redo it, he would choose the same again.
Zhi You’s expression did not change; her emotions were inscrutable. She only slowly withdrew her gaze, still wanting Mu Yunchu to hand over Ah Ji.
Until Mu Yunchu thought for a while and nodded.
Zhi You then slowly crouched down opposite Ah Ji.
"We grew up together in a sense, originally wanting at least to spare your life."
Her hand rested on Ah Ji’s shoulder.
"But clearly, that was a mistake."
With her words, from where her palm touched on Ah Ji’s body, a decay of black spread continuously.
Like food rapidly rotting, swapped for a human instead.
Amid Ah Ji’s unstoppable screams, Zhi You’s voice was gentle.
"Disregard for human lives is your greatest mistake."
In just a matter of seconds, the person who was just alive, thus decayed.
Zhi You stood up as someone stepped forward to deal with the corpse.
She seemed to talk to herself, saying: "Since it was a matter that arose within our clan, naturally we must solve it ourselves."
Turning back to look at Mu Yunchu, she smiled gratefully.
Though this girl exuded eeriness in every aspect, she seemed to pose no threat to Mu Yunchu.
"As we just said, I owe you a favor."
She handed Mu Yunchu a contact method.
The latter noticed she was wearing a glove on the hand extended.
She hadn’t worn one when touching Ah Ji just now.
Li Shang was somewhat puzzled by her reasoning.
Indeed, they went through great efforts to reclaim the person just to kill him by their own hand?
Why not just let Mu Yunchu handle it?
What’s the point of owing a favor?
But she merely thought about it and instead asked about another matter.
"Then what about those girls who ate the Gu Worm...?"
Earlier, Ah Ji had threatened them.
Once he died, those Gu Worms couldn’t be dispelled.
Zhi You reassured, "Rest assured."
"Those are worms I raised, I can dissolve them."
Their deviated lives will henceforth return to normal. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Zhi You turned around looking at the dying giant centipede, somewhat compassionately stroking its head.
"Poor thing, following a bad master."
"But thankfully, your life can be spared."
...
At this moment.
Inside Jing Anjun’s villa.
For the first time, he felt afraid of his own secretary.
"Are you insane?"
He threw everything at hand at the other’s face, yet could in no way stop him from stripping and joining him in the bath.
"Have you lost your mind?"
Right after the other prepared him a bath, for unknown reasons, he suddenly said he wanted to massage his shoulders.
If he wanted to massage, then fine, but the hand slowly crept to unsettling areas.
Turning back, he saw Meng Qing’s behavior.
Yelling a few curses did no good, the other started a frenzied confession, insisting on stripping for a ’pair bathing’!
"Pair my foot!"
This made Jing Anjun furious.
But seeing the other truly meant it, he felt genuinely afraid.
Protecting himself while maintaining distance from Meng Qing, he hoped to awaken the other’s rationality through words like dismissal or pay raise.
But nothing worked.
Until Meng Qing had stepped one foot into the bathtub, his actions suddenly halted.
His mind gradually cleared, looking at Jing Anjun in front of him and his own actions, not knowing what transpired.
He quickly withdrew his foot and started apologizing.
However, upon confirming he was normal, Jing Anjun returned his apology with a beating.
Each punch was bloody, and Meng Qing ended up fainting.
...
Mu Yunchu watched Zhi You leave after exchanging greetings, slowly withdrawing her gaze.
Fortunately, this matter was resolved smoothly.
But...
Li Shang caught sight of a beautifully designed drum on the ground and picked it up behind Mu Yunchu, asking, "Should we go home now?"
Mu Yunchu examined the purchase records on Ah Ji’s computer, the last entry belonging to Jing Anjun.
Clearly marked with his information and address.
With dark currents swirling in her eyes, Mu Yunchu’s voice sank into a deep tone.
"Not yet."
"There’s still unfinished business."
