Bai Ruozhu didn’t raise Poisonous Insects, so she really didn’t know any of this.
She secretly communicated with Furball, but Furball wasn’t too sure either, only saying that it seed so Poisonous Insects were like this, just like Fen Gu and Phoenix Poisonous Insect, divided into male and female.
But Fen Gu needed to be raised by a man, and Phoenix Poisonous Insect needed to be raised by a woman, so it wasn’t quite the sa.
Bai Ruozhu didn’t answer Song Yi’s question. If she couldn’t answer properly, it would basically be admitting she knew nothing about Poisonous Insects; better to mix truth and falsehood, falsehood and truth. Song Yi was suspicious by nature—if he couldn’t get a read on her, he’d still have scruples.
"In the end she’s still your wife, and you can bear to do this to her? I heard that during the ti you went missing, your wife refused to go back with her family no matter what, and kept waiting for you to return. Truly pitiful." Jiang Yichun said with a cold laugh.
Song Yi burst out laughing. "Wife? To , only these Poisonous Insects are my children. What the hell counts as a wife? If it wasn’t for the fact that she can feed my children, I would’ve killed her long ago."
The way he ground his teeth as he spoke really was vicious.
"You lured us here for no other reason than to deal with us. Since we’re already here, let those two go." Bai Ruozhu said.
"Want to let them go? Beat first, then we’ll talk." He flicked his cloak, and a dense black cloud of Poisonous Insects flew out, swarming toward Bai Ruozhu and the others.
Jiang Yichun reached out, controlling the Water Vapor to wrap around the Poisonous Insects, but there were too many, and they were extrely ferocious. He grew more and more strained.
"Furball, it’s up to you now." Bai Ruozhu released Furball. On Song Yi’s side, his eyes lit up. "What a tonic, this can greatly nourish my lady."
As he spoke, he released a plump Poisonous Insect. This ti Bai Ruozhu recognized it; this was the Poisonous Insect Mother that could spawn large numbers of mind-controlling Poisonous Insects.
He called the Poisonous Insect Mother "lady" and called those Poisonous Insects "children"—what a pervert!
Suddenly, a question popped into Bai Ruozhu’s mind.
Gufeng took Wu Wanqing as a disciple before he had any contact with Wu Yunfeng, and Song Yi had long been sent to Fusang Country to sche. Where did he learn his Poisonous Insects from?
No, no, sothing here was definitely being overlooked.
Song Yi right now was so similar to Gufeng—could there really be no connection at all?
But Gufeng’s soul was that of a Poisonous Insect master from a hundred years ago, who seized Wei Yu’s body and even abducted the newborn Lanlan to raise the Phoenix Poisonous Insect. How then did he intersect with Wu Yunfeng and Song Yi?
When Wei Yu defected from the Jiuli Clan, he was already married with children. By the tiline, Song Yi should already have been sent to Fusang Country. The two of them likely never even t, so it shouldn’t be that Gufeng Sect taught Song Yi his Poisonous Insect Techniques.
All of a sudden, Bai Ruozhu saw the light. Song Yi’s Poisonous Insect Techniques were very similar to Gufeng’s, but that didn’t an Gufeng taught him. There was another possibility: they were of the sa clan, or from the sa sect.
Gufeng was an expert of the Quanrong Clan a hundred years ago, so then Wu Yunfeng and Song Yi...
"You people of the Quanrong Clan really are all equally disgusting!" Bai Ruozhu suddenly said.
"What do you know? An idiot like you who knows jack-shit about Poisonous Insects, how could you understand our joy? How could you comprehend the thrill of standing on high and looking down on all of you?" Song Yi laughed wildly.
So it was as expected. Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun exchanged a look, and he instantly understood what she ant.
"All this was arranged by the Quanrong, wasn’t it? Do you not know that the Quanrong Clan Leader You ng is already dead?" Bai Ruozhu asked again.
Only then did Song Yi react. Narrowing his eyes, he said, "So what if you know? You still can’t get back to the Zhongyuan. Today you’ll die here!"
He swept his sleeve, and another swarm of Poisonous Insects flew out.
"What’s You ng? I never even put him in my eyes." Song Yi said through gritted teeth, seeming to harbor particular hatred toward You ng.
Bai Ruozhu’s Head spun rapidly. Song Yi and Wu Yunfeng must co from the sa line as Gufeng’s Poisonous Insect masters, but Wu Yunfeng was publicly an officer of Danliang Country and couldn’t openly raise Poisonous Insects, which was why they’d never considered this angle.
Back then, they might have been sent out by the Quanrong Clan, or perhaps their faction failed to seize great power within the Quanrong, and unwilling to accept it, they turned outward to sche.
Either way, their ambition was enormous. Enormous.
And looking at it this way, Gufeng seeking out Wu Wanqing back then wasn’t by chance. Very likely it was because of Wu Yunfeng that he chose Wu Wanqing. In other words, Wu Yunfeng, despite always claiming to love his daughter, would still sacrifice her.
After Wu Wanqing died, the main reason for his fury might have simply been that the Phoenix Poisonous Insect disappeared with her.
A bunch of lunatics who’d sacrifice anything for power and desire—people like that ought to be wiped out for the good of humanity, lest they continue tornting others.
Furball was darting through the air, battling the Poisonous Insect Mother so fiercely that the sky seed to spin; it couldn’t spare attention for anything else.
The Poisonous Insect Mother wasn’t particularly strong itself, but it could command large numbers of Poisonous Insects and constantly interfere with Furball, making it extrely hard for Furball to injure it.
Just then, Song Yi moved. A pitch-black Dagger flashed into his hand, and his whole person sprang up like a bat, lunging at Bai Ruozhu.
Bai Ruozhu twisted aside, leaping away and rapidly moving toward Fangzi’s direction. Fangzi’s eyes were closed as she lay unconscious, and her belly seed to be growing more and more distended. Bai Ruozhu didn’t dare delay even a mont.
She sliced through the ropes binding Fangzi and first laid her down on the ground.
But the mont she picked her up, she almost cried out. Fangzi’s body was scalding hot, like a red-hot branding iron.
She looked down at her own hands; they were already bright red.
Poisonous insect poison!
"Hahaha, I knew you’d go soft and try to save her. Now savor the power of the Heart-Burning Poisonous Insect Poison." Song Yi laughed loudly.
Jiang Yichun forced him back with a single sword stroke and rushed toward Bai Ruozhu.
"Don’t touch !" Bai Ruozhu hurriedly shouted. "One touch and you’ll be poisoned by the Poisonous Insect Poison. The two of us can’t both fall into his trap."
At this mont, Fangzi woke up in a daze. The mont she saw Bai Ruozhu, she burst into tears. "Ruozhu, save , I’m so scared!"
She tried to get up, but her belly was too heavy, and the pain inside was excruciating; she simply couldn’t move.
"Save you? She’s already been poisoned trying to save you. You can both die here together." Song Yi laughed and released another large wave of Poisonous Insects.
Right now Bai Ruozhu’s face was flushed red, and fine beads of sweat had already broken out on her forehead. She clutched her chest, gasping for breath. It hurt, it hurt so much!
It felt as if sothing had seized her heart, or as if it had been set on a fire to roast—searing and agonizing—making it hard for her to even breathe.
"Ruozhu, how are you?" Jiang Yichun was so anxious he wanted to scoop her up, but this was not the ti to act on impulse.
He fended off the Poisonous Insects flying at him while keeping an eye on Bai Ruozhu’s condition.
Bai Ruozhu poured an entire bottle of green Detoxification Pills into her mouth, but the effect was minimal. After all, Detoxification dicine targeted Poison, not Poisonous Insects.
"Don’t be afraid, I’ll get you out of here alive." Bai Ruozhu gritted her teeth and said to Fangzi beside her.
But Fangzi’s belly was even more swollen now, and sothing kept pushing against the skin of her abdon, as if the Poisonous Insects were about to burst out!
"It hurts so much, I can’t take it anymore. Don’t worry about , hurry and go!" Fangzi said in agony.
This foolish girl—clearly scared out of her wits, yet she was still telling her to run first. Bai Ruozhu’s eyes reddened.
