Inside the Blessed Land Cave Heaven, Ye Yu sat solemnly to the side, his expression grave.
His eyes were fixed tightly on the tabletop before him.
Though he appeared calm, inside he was furiously cursing.
Damn it! Are you ssing with ?
Where’s that Heavenly Devouring Gu Worm? Do you really think I’m that clueless? You’re trying to fool an immortal with a hedgehog?
And it’s a juvenile one at that.
Its spines are still soft.
Is this so kind of joke?
As Ye Yu examined the Heavenly Devouring Gu Worm, it seed to be sizing up its new master in return.
Once its target was confird, it took small, quick steps over and pointed its cute little paws at its mouth.
The aning was clear: it was hungry.
Ye Yu curled his lips slightly. A single blue-ranked wish had earned him this little hedgehog.
It was already hungry within two minutes of appearing.
Ye Yu really suspected that the dream talent was taking a cut from the middleman.
But no matter what, it was still a living creature.
He couldn’t just ignore it.
So he stepped out of the Blessed Land Cave Heaven and found the fairy guards of the City Lord’s Mansion.
"Lan’er, help get so Gu insects or bugs. I want to feed my celestial beast."
"What? You want to report to the female attendant Qian Su first?"
"Don’t be so rigid as an immortal. Just get the bugs first. We can report later."
"Besides, you wouldn’t want to see my celestial beast go hungry, right?"
It was so cute!
Soon, thanks to Ye Yu’s persuasive words, Lan’er fetched a jade jar from the Yourong City warehouse that stored Gu insects and personally delivered it to the Blessed Land Cave Heaven.
She promised it would absolutely fill the celestial beast.
Though it was uncertain whether the owner—the celestial beast—was hungry.
Lan’er’s eyes revealed a fierce fighting spirit; clearly, she wanted to spar in a friendly match.
Ye Yu understood, but politely declined.
"It’s not that I’m out of shape, it’s just that I don’t like the usual crowd’s food—it lacks flavor."
Defeated, Lan’er left disappointed and abandoned the idea of reporting to Qian Su.
After closing the door, Ye Yu tossed the little hedgehog directly into the jade jar for free roaming and feeding.
He then closed his eyes to rest.
At present, the sisters’ wishes in Yourong City were basically fulfilled.
The reason he hadn’t left yet was simple.
The Heavenly Secret Garnt hadn’t been obtained yet!
That was the previously promised reward—there was no way he would give that up.
He just didn’t know if An Jinqiu would be generous enough to add so extras.
The next day.
Niu Wanjun, the warehouse supervisor of Yourong City, let out a startled scream.
The fairy guards imdiately thought it was an enemy attack and hurried over quickly.
Including female attendant Qian Su.
When they learned there was no attack—just sothing missing—
Qian Su coldly said, "What nonsense is this? It’s just a missing item. Is it worth making such a fuss?"
"Just search patiently."
"If this happens again, you’re fired on the spot! Understand?"
Supervisor Niu Wanjun trembled, "Lady Qian, a Crimson Gu King is missing. This Gu insect moves like lightning and is extrely venomous."
"Any carelessness, even for an Immortal Lord Realm expert, could an instant death."
"I distinctly rember placing it at the warehouse entrance yesterday, ready to be stored away."
"But this morning when I arrived, the jade jar storing it was gone."
"I’m worried it might be hiding sowhere in ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) the warehouse, but I don’t dare go in."
Hearing this, the immortals present all stepped back, visibly frightened.
If the Crimson Gu King really escaped, that was extrely dangerous.
At that mont, Lan’er’s face went pale, trembling as she gestured size with her hands.
"Is it a white jade jar this big? Yesterday, Supervisor Dong Sanqiu was on duty. I ntioned to him Mr. Ye Yu wanted so Gu insects to feed his celestial beast."
"He told where the warehouse stored Gu insects, but when I entered, I saw the jade jar and thought it was all insects, so I didn’t look further."
"I really didn’t know it was the Crimson Gu King."
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions turned remarkably colorful.
Soon, Ye Yu’s Blessed Land Cave Heaven was completely sealed off.
Female attendant Qian Su imdiately went to summon An Jinqiu.
She knew well that Ye Yu held great influence with the City Lord; if sothing really happened, it could provoke the City Lord’s wrath.
What surprised Qian Su was that An Jinqiu and An Jieyue were chatting amicably in the main hall.
Their relationship was very harmonious.
This made Qian Su raise her eyebrows slightly.
How did the sisters reconcile overnight? Is Ye Yu really that miraculous?
In a good mood, An Jinqiu softly asked Qian Su what was wrong upon seeing her arrive.
But when she learned what happened,
Her smile vanished instantly, and she coldly barked, "Is it just a simple mistake? Supervisor Dong Sanqiu and Niu Wanjun are responsible too!"
"Why didn’t Dong Sanqiu check carefully when taking the Gu insects?"
"And if Niu Wanjun knew the Crimson Gu King’s jar, why was it placed at the warehouse entrance instead of in the absolute danger category? Only after it was taken did they realize the importance!"
"Tell those three—if Mr. Ye Yu is unhard, all is forgiven!"
"But if anything happens to him, they all go down with him!"
Female attendant Qian Su lowered her head slightly, saying nothing.
Soon, everyone gathered outside Ye Yu’s Blessed Land Cave Heaven.
An Jinqiu’s mood was very tense.
In fact, An Jieyue was the sa.
Though the swelling on her face had not completely faded, she bore no grudge against Ye Yu and was even very grateful that he had woken her up and spoken the truth.
Otherwise, who knew how much longer she would have been willful.
So for An Jieyue, Ye Yu was a benefactor, and she naturally did not want any harm to co to him.
Without hesitation, she applied to personally enter and check the situation.
But An Jinqiu refused, saying the Crimson Gu King was extrely dangerous and if anyone were to go, it should be herself.
Just as the two sisters argued,
Ye Yu walked out of the Blessed Land Cave Heaven with a puzzled expression, complaining, "What are you two arguing about so early in the morning?"
Seeing him appear, smiles imdiately appeared on An Jieyue and An Jinqiu’s faces.
They then told him about the Crimson Gu King.
After hearing this, Ye Yu’s face turned strange.
A Gu insect comparable to an Immortal Lord Realm cultivator? That’s incredibly strong!
Which ans my Heavenly Devouring Gu Worm is in danger?
Thinking this, Ye Yu imdiately returned inside the Blessed Land Cave Heaven.
He discovered the jade jar for storing Gu insects had sohow developed a finger-sized crack.
