Doted By The Regent King

Chapter 1542 - 1480: Infected by Gu Poison

Ah Jiu desperately tried not to show anything unusual, coughed twice into his fist, and smiled, "Besides feeling tired, there’s nothing else. Maybe it’s because of an external injury, after all, that was a Poisoned Person."

Master Gui nodded and said, "Xue Dizi has been dealing with all kinds of venomous things since he was young. People say his blood carries deadly poison, a single drop can knock out two Big Men. What you said about the flesh being corroded must be because he developed a new poison and used it on himself."

"Is he a lunatic? Isn’t he afraid of poisoning himself to death one day?" Wufu said with deep disgust.

"Xue Dizi has been dealing with poison since childhood. His entire being is poison, immune to all poisons. Adding more poison is just poison merging with poison."

Wufu frowned, "So called ’fight poison with poison’?"

Master Gui nodded and said, "You all managed to kill him, which was unexpected, given that he was so poisonous..."

"But we paid the price!" Wufu interrupted him, "Ah Jiu is now unsure about what covert trick he’s fallen into."

Ah Jiu remained silent.

Master Gui said, "Xue Dizi takes pleasure in poison, and there are rumors that his biological mother seems to be from Miaojiang."

"Miaojiang?"

Master Gui uttered a sound of acknowledgment, "Miaojiang has countless poisonous insects, Gu Insects, poison techniques. If this is true, and Xue Dizi is a poison fanatic, he might have gone to Miaojiang, gained some opportunities, learned some poison techniques—it’s all unknown."

Wufu was startled, "Gu insects!"

She exchanged a glance with Master Gui, and the two instinctively looked at Ah Jiu. That glance shocked them.

Ah Jiu was gripping a teacup tightly, and with a bang, he crushed the teacup.

"Ah Jiu." Wufu exclaimed.

Ah Jiu’s face turned deathly pale, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and suddenly he let out a painful howl, clutching his chest, and rolled off the chair onto the floor.

Wufu was frightened, screamed, and immediately went to help him, but was forcefully pushed away, crashing into the table, with cups and plates clattering to the ground.

Master Gui was shocked, and hastily supported Wufu, looking towards Ah Jiu.

He saw Ah Jiu’s eyes were red as if burning, his face contorted, frenziedly smashing chairs, ceramics, and other objects in the room.

Ah Jiu was in a frenzy.

Wufu pushed away Master Gui and rushed over, but was blocked by Ah Jiu’s hand, shakingly saying, "Don’t come over. Master Gui."

Master Gui quickly went over, and struck several key acupoints, causing Ah Jiu to collapse softly to the floor.

The commotion outside drew Yuan Ye and others who rushed in, just in time to see this scene, and without thinking, attacked Master Gui.

"Yuan Ye, stop!" Wufu shouted to Yuan Ye.

Yuan Ye forcibly withdrew his sword, his face full of confusion, "Miss?"

"Send someone to fetch the Ghost Doctor quickly!" Wufu ran to Ah Jiu’s side and asked, "Ah Jiu, how are you doing?"

The guards received the order and rushed to call Bai Xiaobai, while Yuan Ye dashed to Ah Jiu’s side, his face deathly pale. Suddenly, what was happening?

"My heart hurts." Ah Jiu panted heavily, his face contorted, his hands fiercely clawing at his chest, tearing his clothes into strips, and scratching his skin into bloody marks with his nails.

"Hold his hands down." Master Gui ordered sternly.

Wufu and Yuan Ye hurriedly pinned his hands down, while Master Gui ripped off Ah Jiu’s clothing, stripping it completely.

Everyone looked over and saw on his muscular body, near the heart area, a tiny spot the size of a mung bean bulging slightly, soon sinking down, then appearing elsewhere, as if playing a game, moving around in various places.

"This, this is..." Wufu’s eyes widened.

Master Gui furrowed his brows tightly, looked at Ah Jiu, and said, "It’s a Gu insect."
