The two of them arrived at the parking lot outside. Chu Luo stared at Chu Ting as she gazed around.
“Didn’t you say we have to retrieve something? Just open the door.”
“Retrieve what?” Chu Ting gave her an evil smirk.
Chu Luo looked at Chu Ting, whose expression changed so quickly as though she was waiting for her misfortune, and sneered, “Chu Ting, you can suddenly speak again. You met an expert, didn’t you? I’m interested to know what sort of deal you made with that person.”
“Hmph! So what if I did? Chu Luo, tonight, I will let you know the consequences of offending me… You can’t compare to me in anything, and you’re even an ugly freak. How dare you treat me like this?”
“Ugly freak? If I remember correctly, the wound on my forehead was caused by you… Now that I think about it, I was prettier than you when we were young. Were you jealous of me at that time, and that’s why you purposely disfigured me?”
“Nonsense! How can you be prettier than me? You’re an ugly freak!”
Chu Ting flew into a rage out of humiliation and raised her hand to slap Chu Luo.
Chu Luo grabbed her wrist and pushed her away. At the same time, she pressed some acupoints on Chu Ting’s body.
Bam!
“Ooh…”
Chu Ting’s body slammed heavily into the car, but she couldn’t move at all. She asked in a panicky voice, “Chu Luo, what did you do to me?”
“What did I do? You can ask your partner.”
After Chu Luo finished speaking, she turned to look at the side of an MPV.
A middle-aged man wearing a navy blue coat and sunglasses with two beads in his hands walked out from behind the car.
“You have good observation skills.”
The middle-aged man looked at Chu Luo with satisfaction in his eyes. “Little kid, we meet again.”
Seeing the middle-aged man, Chu Ting hurriedly said, “Save me, I can’t move.”
The middle-aged man walked up to them like a reclusive master.
Following which, he flicked a small bead on Chu Ting’s body and her acupoints were unsealed.
Chu Luo looked at the middle-aged man but didn’t stop him.
She could take care of Chu Ting anytime, but she could sense that the middle-aged man in front of her had something good on him. Thus, she decided to take the good stuff first.
As soon as Chu Ting regained her freedom, she quickly moved to the side. After she was out of their range, she glared at Chu Luo before running towards the entrance of the villa.
Chu Luo didn’t even bother to look at her.
The middle-aged man revealed a sinister smile at Chu Luo. “Little kid, you must be feeling awful being betrayed by your own sister, right?”
Chu Luo pursed her lips and stared at him.
The middle-aged man thought that Chu Luo was afraid, so he laughed out loud. After laughing, he took out a transparent bottle from his body and kissed the bottle before saying, “It’s okay. As long as you listen to me, I promise that everyone who has betrayed you will wish that they were dead.”
Chu Luo’s gaze fell upon the worm in the bottle and her expression turned cold. “Gu worm from a mother worm.”
“You can actually recognize it?” The middle-aged man’s expression suddenly became a little strange, but in the next second, it became fierce. “So what if you can tell? I prepared this Gu worm for you.”
Then, he proceeded to open the bottle cap.
Chu Luo would definitely not let him open the bottle cap at this time. She quickly took action and snatched the bottle from the middle-aged man’s hands.
But the middle-aged man retreated and quickly opened the bottle cap, throwing the Gu worm at Chu Luo.
Chu Luo took a few steps back. When she reached the side of the villa, she plucked a leaf that was sticking out from the fence and blew on it.
The tune that Chu Luo blew was ancient and melancholic. It also carried an indescribable ethereal feeling, as if it could take people to an ancient era.
When the middle-aged man reacted, he quickly covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, he bent his knees and knelt heavily in front of Chu Luo.
Chu Luo stopped and looked at the child Gu that had died at her feet. She then looked at the middle-aged man, who had been tortured by the mother Gu until his face was twisted in pain. She was dissatisfied and thought that she must find a way to make this body have all her abilities.
The person who appeared in front of her today must have only learned the basics. That was why she’d had time to play a melody using the leaf. If she had met a real expert, she would definitely have been poisoned.
This body was too weak. If she was poisoned by the Gu, it would be difficult to undo it.
Chu Luo looked at the middle-aged man who was bleeding from his seven orifices and walked towards him.
The middle-aged man clutched his chest and looked up at Chu Luo with fear in his eyes. “You… who exactly are you?”
“Who I am is not important. Hand over all the Gu on you and I will let you go.”
“You’ll let me go?” The middle-aged man couldn’t believe it, but there was a flash of hope and ruthlessness in his eyes.
“Take a guess.” Chu Luo smiled at him and said something that would make the middle-aged man die from anger in no time. “You were bitten by the parasite anyway. If I kill you now, it will only dirty my hands. So you should just go somewhere far away and die.”
“Pfft…”
Chu Luo quickly retreated in disdain.
The middle-aged man was bleeding from his seven orifices while glaring at Chu Luo with hatred. “Even if I have to destroy all the Gu worms on me, I won’t give them to you.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she raised her eyebrows and placed the leaf on the tip of her finger to her mouth. “In that case, you should enjoy the taste of being bitten by the mother Gu.”
“Ah…”
“Ahhh…”
“Ahhhhh…”
“Stop blowing. I’ll give it to you.”
Chu Luo stopped and said in a displeased tone, “Since you’re going to end up giving it to me anyway, why must you go through this extra suffering?”
The middle-aged man spat out another mouthful of blood.
Chu Luo waited for him to finish spitting out the blood before she walked over and tapped the ground with her toes. “Take it out and place it here.”
The middle-aged man reached into the inner pocket of his coat with trembling hands.
Chu Luo coldly warned: “I advise you not to have any ideas about mutual destruction or holding back. If I can kill your child Gu, I can kill your other Gu. Also… if you play any tricks, I will sit here and play a tune until your entire body explodes.”
The middle-aged man’s body suddenly spasmed, and he hurriedly took out all the bottles on him.
Chu Luo looked at the disgusting and squirming Gu worms in the transparent bottles and raised her hand, placing the leaf on her lips.
“You… you actually…”
“Ahhhhh…”
Chu Luo watched coldly as the middle-aged man and the Gu worms in the bottle struggled for their lives. In the end, all the Gu worms died and the middle-aged man fainted from the pain. Only then did she stop.
She walked towards the bottles and glanced at the dead Gu worms. She lifted her leg and kicked them into a nearby sewer.
Then, she walked to the middle-aged man’s side and squatted down. Using a tree branch, she disdainfully picked up the middle-aged man’s coat that had lifted open during his struggle. After which, she took out the cloth bag and wallet inside.
Opening the bag, she saw that it was filled with treasures inside. There were various kinds of medicinal powder to make Gu poison, a few good medicinal herbs, and a dozen or so expensive gems.
Chu Luo tied up the bag, tossed it in her hand, and nodded in satisfaction. “Very good. These are obviously unexpected fortunes. I’m confiscating them.”
With that, she stood up and walked into the villa, not caring if the man was dead or alive.
