The mouth opened to an unbelievable angle, the throat bulged high and kept pulsating, seemingly sothing crawling out.
First, ca the joints covered in black hair, followed by the torso...
Under the fear-filled gaze of everyone, an ugly, twisted gigantic spider crawled out of Mr. Ming's mouth, opening its bloody maw and letting out a terrifying roar!
"Roar!!"
Before anyone could react, a strange laugh "Jie Jie" echoed from the shadows in the corner.
"The heavens are dead, the Poison God should rise!"
"The Great Yuan Court is rotten beyond repair, the nation is dood! The revolution starts here in Bailu City!"
"From today on, anyone daring to sing praises or conceal peace shall et the sa fate as this Ming fellow!"
As the words fell, the gigantic spider dissipated into black smoke.
Ming Yuchun then fell with a "thud" onto the stage, completely passing out.
"Ahhh!!"
"There's a dead person!"
Everyone ca back to their senses, faces drained of color, screams rising one after another.
"Gu God Sect! The Gu God Sect is here!"
"Run!"
"Don't push, I'm a scholar, let go first!"
"Get lost, even beasts won't let you through!"
The Gu God Sect has plagued the Southern Border for years, infamous, their hands stained with blood, their na enough to stop children's cries at night!
They were just here to watch a play, no one intended to lose their lives over it!
The audience panicked, rushing towards the exit, the scene turned into complete chaos.
Chen Mo crossed his legs, calmly sipping tea.
Ye Zi'e watched the scene, her throat dry, and spoke with difficulty, "Mr. Chen, is this your doing?"
"Indeed." Chen Mo nodded, "This evil spider Gu was obtained from Ji Weifeng. It looks scary but doesn't harm the body much; just need so ti to recover."
"The one who spoke was..."
"Oh, I used a Paperman to create it, the lines were thought up temporarily, but as long as the ssage is conveyed, it's fine."
"..."
Ye Zi'e's lips twitched.
Only now did she truly understand Chen Mo's intention.
First, he hypnotized the maid using secret techniques, planted the Gu Poison Worm inside Ming Yuchun, then under everyone's gaze let the Gu worm break out, and Ming Yuchun was portraying the Princess!
More importantly...
He openly opposed the court in the guise of the Gu God Sect!
The heavens are dead, the Poison God should rise.
Just these eight words alone could be deed as rebellion!
It can be seen that once this matter spreads, it will inevitably cause a great uproar!
Your Gu God Sect likes hiding here and there, right? Then I'll let you completely expose in the daylight!
"Regardless of whether the State Mansion is involved with the Gu God Sect, they must react, the more chaotic the situation, the easier to reveal flaws... Besides, they have no way to counter this, it's an open ploy!"
Understanding the situation, Ye Zi'e looked at Chen Mo in disbelief.
"The bait you ntioned, is making the Princess the lure? Involving the Imperial Family, aren't you afraid the fish pond will explode?"
"How would I know they'd put on this act?" Chen Mo shrugged, "I just ca to listen to music, it was purely impulsive, going with the flow, just feel a bit sorry for Mr. Ming."
Ye Zi'e deeply agreed.
Actually, for Ming Yuchun, it might not necessarily be a bad thing; instead, it made his na known, probably hard to get tickets in the future.
Except crawling out of one's mouth with a giant spider, she probably won't want to experience this ever again...
The harm the Gu God Sect poses is too great, if not eradicated, many more would die, and Chen Mo's approach is already quite restrained.
"It's about ti we leave." Chen Mo tapped the table.
"Mm." Ye Zi'e responded.
After experiencing what happened just now, she's already deeply admiring Chen Mo to the utmost...
...
...
"Sir, are you alright?"
"Boo hoo, Sister Ming, don't scare ..."
"Where's the doctor? Call the doctor quickly!"
The troupe surrounded the stage, the scene already descended into chaos.
Whoosh——
Sounds of table and chair collision ca from the adjacent room.
Imdiately, a graceful figure hurriedly walked out, "thump, thump, thump" down the stairs, followed by a girl in blue clothes, anxiously saying, "Madam, slow down, watch your step!"
"Is this Lady Hua?"
Chen Mo gazed at her from afar.
She wore a lotus-patterned coat in the color of smoky haze on top, and a moon white pleated skirt below, outlining her figure with delicate curves.
Her black hair was styled into a high bun, adorned with a gold hairpin with erald tips, her skin fair and glowing with a subtle pink hue, testant to regular care. The fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes did not detract from her youth, but rather added a mature charm.
Hua Yinglan approached the crowd and said sternly, "Make way!"
"Lady Hua?"
Seeing her severe expression, the crowd didn't dare speak much and stood to make way.
Hua Yinglan walked to Ming Yuchun's side, squatted down, and gently grasped her wrist, carefully sensing for a mont.
Confirming that there was no imdiate danger, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Her health is weak and needs recuperation; it's not suitable for her to perform recently."
Hua Yinglan turned to the maid nearby and said, "Little Butterfly, take Mr. Ming back."
"Yes."
The young maid lifted Ming Yuchun in her arms.
As the two were about to leave, the troupe master spoke up, "Wait a minute... Yuchun is part of Pear Cloud Hall, isn't it inappropriate to just take her like that, Madam?"
"Indeed."
"What if sothing goes wrong?"
"Moreover, this matter involves the Gu God Sect, surely the governnt office will send soone to investigate, how are we supposed to explain then?"
The crowd chattered noisily.
Upon hearing this, Hua Yinglan's face turned colder, her eyes slightly narrowed as she surveyed them.
The imposing aura made people instinctively nervous, causing them to avert their gazes.
"This matter is none of your concern; let the State Mansion co to if there are issues."
"Die'er, let's go."
With that, Hua Yinglan turned and walked down the stage, the young maid carrying Ming Yuchun followed behind, heading towards the main entrance.
Watching their departure, the troupe master's brows furrowed tightly.
Factions are plentiful within Bailu City, besides the old families, virtually every notable sect from the Southern Border has a branch here. To snatch this lucrative spot from among a pack of hungry wolves, the depth of Lady Hua's background needs no explanation.
Such a figure, they certainly can't afford to offend.
But this incident has blown up so big; it's not easy to deal with the State Mansion either...
"Forget it, let soone who can withstand it take the bla, if she insists on bearing this black pot, let her be."
"Besides, didn't the Gu God Sect get wiped out? Where did such a demon co from, targeting Pear Cloud Hall... Really like a fart hitting the heel, utterly unlucky..."
The troupe master gritted his teeth, his eyes gloomy, "From today onwards, close the doors and curtain, let's wait until the storm blows over."
"Yes!" The crowd replied loudly in unison.
...
...
Hua Yinglan walked out of the pear garden and boarded the soft sedan parked by the street.
Looking at Ming Yuchun lying beside her, a shadow of doubt passed in her eyes, "What exactly is going on?"
"Madam, where are we heading now?" Die'er asked.
"Back to the residence," Hua Yinglan said.
"Lift the sedan, return to the residence!"
The sedan bearers lifted the soft sedan, proceeding along the street towards the west side of the city.
However, no one noticed a palm-sized paperman sticking to the bottom of the sedan, silently and unnoticed slipping through the door crack...
Passing through bustling streets, the surrounding environnt gradually turned tranquil. They saw a mansion in the distance, adjacent to the Moat, surrounded by drooping willows, exuding a serene elegance.
As a person of influence in Bailu City, Hua Yinglan chose not to reside in the inner city but moved her mansion to the secluded suburbs.
The sedan arrived at the entrance, Die'er stepped forward to knock on the door knocker.
Dong, dong, dong—
After three knocks, the door slowly opened.
The sedan bearers carried the sedan into the courtyard, then the door closed tightly again, silence returned.
A mont later, under the distant willow trees, two figures erged from the shadows.
Ye Zi'e looked at the tightly shut door and frowned, "Sir, do you think there's sothing wrong with Lady Hua?"
"It's hard to say." Purple-golden light flickered in Chen Mo's eyes, "No abnormalities detected, but a re mortal facing the Gu God Sect with such calmness, it feels sowhat strange..."
"Moreover, she seems to have a deep connection with this Mr. Ming..."
"Tsk, could there be an unexpected discovery?"
Ye Zi'e proposed, "Would it be a good idea for the two of us to sneak in and take a look?"
"Anyway, with the paperman monitoring, there's no need to rush, lest we alert the snake with grass." Chen Mo pondered slightly, "Let's rendezvous at the wine house first, clarify the situation, and then co back tonight."
