"Donghuang Lingling" held the Magic Wand high, with a cluster of purple lightning about to strike down.
Just then, under Qi’s sleeve, which was originally beside him in ditation, the small snake Little Qing slled sothing off and stuck its head out.
Its body shot toward "Donghuang Lingling" with a "pfft", silently.
Little Qing bit "Donghuang Lingling"’s hand in one bite.
"Ah," Donghuang Lingling let out a scream of pain.
The magic was interrupted.
The three, still imrsed in ditation, opened their eyes alertly.
"Lingling, Qi, quickly let Little Qing let go," Gu Feng saw Donghuang Lingling’s condition, distressed to the core, and stepped forward to lift her up.
"Little Qing would not attack anyone without reason; it must have been sothing Lingling just did," the Little Qing raised by Qi was very spiritual, and it recognized Qi’s close friends.
At Qi’s command, Little Qing finally retracted its fangs and cleverly climbed onto Qi’s shoulder, flicking its tongue out as if to tell Qi the whole story.
"Little Qing says that just now, Lingling suddenly attempted to harm Yun Sheng, which is why it bit her," after hearing this, Qi, holding the Magic Wand, watched Donghuang Lingling with a guarded expression.
The venom on Little Qing’s teeth could paralyze the bitten person, robbing them of their ability to move.
The three had only known to let Rich Man Gold keep watch outside, but had not expected "Donghuang Lingling" to suddenly beco violent.
"Heh, I didn’t think you’d still have a trick up your sleeve," Donghuang Lingling lifted her face, and on it was a provocatively seductive smile that was quite piercing to the eye.
This was starkly different from the usual Donghuang Lingling.
"She’s not Lingling," Yun Sheng was wary, "You? Are you that woman from Dugu Xiu’s side?"
"You’re quite astute; no wonder the Crown Prince is so concerned about you," under the astonished gazes of the others, "Donghuang Lingling" stood up nonchalantly.
Little Qing’s poison had no effect on her.
As she spoke, "Donghuang Lingling" sized up Yun Sheng with the eyes of soone assessing an opponent.
When she saw Yun Sheng’s spiritually intense black eyes, her expression darkened slightly.
Such soul-snatching eyes, no wonder Dugu Xiu hadn’t been seeking her out these past days; presumably, he had been enchanted by this woman with the face of a seductive vixen.
Yun Sheng also realized that the "Donghuang Lingling" in front of her was indeed Dugu Xiu’s favored concubine.
Her every word and action were not those of "Donghuang Lingling."
What was going on?
Yun Sheng had clearly already checked; this was indeed Lingling, who had not been affected by any magic or Illusion Technique.
"You despicable woman, what have you done to Lingling?" Gu Feng, seeing his beloved controlled by soone else, felt his heart being torn apart.
"Tsk tsk, are you concerned? Well, if you kill that girl next to you for , I’ll let her go and let the two of you live together forever," "Donghuang Lingling" said with ill intent.
"You, dream on, Yun Sheng and Lingling are good friends. She would never let Yun Sheng get hurt," Gu Feng was both anxious and angry.
"Then there’s no other way. If you don’t make a move, I’ll have to take action against your beloved," "Donghuang Lingling" slowly pulled out a small dagger she kept close to her body.
"What are you going to do?" Gu Feng and Yun Sheng both tensed up.
Donghuang Lingling raised her hand and slashed her own wrist with the dagger, instantly blood flowed profusely.
"See that? If you don’t take action, I’ll keep cutting wounds on the Princess’s body, one by one. Anyway, it won’t hurt ."
"You crazy woman," Gu Feng roared furiously, ready to go all out and fight with "Donghuang Lingling."
"Don’t co any closer, or I will slit her throat imdiately, and your beloved will be dead," Donghuang Lingling’s face was full of malice; she had calculated that Gu Feng wouldn’t dare take the risk of harming Donghuang Lingling’s life.
The standoff continued, with neither side giving in.
Yun Sheng pondered for a mont and then abruptly spoke, "Fine, I am willing to exchange my life for Lingling’s life."
"Yun Sheng," Qi frowned and stopped Yun Sheng.
"It’s alright," Yun Sheng nodded at Qi reassuringly.
Donghuang Lingling’s face showed a trace of surprise and delight.
She didn’t expect that soone would be foolish enough to trade their own life for a friend’s.
This woman is truly foolish; does she really not know, or does the Crown Prince fancy her for more than just her looks?
"You surely don’t expect to kill myself, do you? Make your move," Yun Sheng spread her hands, with no hint of fear on her face, "None of you should stop her."
Donghuang Lingling was skeptical, but she first made Yun Sheng put down her Magic Wand and step by step ca closer.
It wasn’t until she was only two or three steps away from Yun Sheng that Donghuang Lingling felt reassured; at such a distance, even Magic Chanting would be too late.
"Die, foolish woman," Donghuang Lingling’s dagger thrust towards Yun Sheng’s throat.
"Bang"
Donghuang Lingling was sent flying away, the dagger dropping from her hand.
A golden figure, like lightning, blocked that lethal stab.
It was that mysterious bodyguard again.
Having previously confronted the Dark Crown Prince, his skills were exceptional, and with his ability to appear and disappear without a trace, it was impossible to detect where he was hiding.
Donghuang Lingling struggled to retrieve the fallen dagger but was pinned down to the ground by Rich Man Gold.
"You wretched girl, how dare you deceive , I will make you regret this deeply," Donghuang Lingling sneered with malice, biting her tongue fiercely.
Rich Man Gold, with quick eyes and hands, stuffed his hand into Donghuang Lingling’s mouth.
Donghuang Lingling felt her teeth almost crushed, realizing the "hand" in her mouth was not human at all.
What kind of monster is this?
Donghuang Lingling was taken aback.
"Yun Sheng, Little Qing told that Lingling might be under the influence of Snake Gu," Qi, who had been observing from the side, suddenly spoke out.
Donghuang Lingling’s condition was unique, neither poisoned by Gu nor an Illusion Technique. With everyone at a loss, Qi eventually got so clues from Little Qing’s information.
"What is Snake Gu?" Yun Sheng had never heard of such a special Gu Technique on the Wuji Continent.
"Yeah, Qi, tell us how to undo this Gu," Gu Feng’s heart was heavy as he watched Donghuang Lingling’s condition, pleading with Qi.
Yun Sheng noticed that when Qi ntioned Snake Gu, a flash of panic crossed the eyes of Donghuang Lingling, who was previously very restless on the ground.
"Don’t worry for now, let ask Little Qing again," after "communicating" with Little Qing, Qi finally understood what Snake Gu was.
"Yun Sheng, let Rich Man Gold release her; I need to ask her sothing," after hearing out Little Qing, Qi’s expression turned grave as he approached Donghuang Lingling and looked down at her imposingly.
Rich Man Gold released Donghuang Lingling but used his fighting spirit to bind her limbs, making it impossible for her to struggle.
"If I’m not mistaken, you must be from the Ba Snake Tribe, the Descendants of Eight Desolates, right?" Qi interrogated Donghuang Lingling.
