Listening to his voice, I was in a trance for a moment, and raised my head to ask, "What do you mean? That Wang Gu is still in my body?"

He didn't say anything, but just lowered his head and looked at me with a strange smile, even his body was shaking slightly, and the greedy light in his eyes was as if he was looking at the most precious treasure in the world, which made my scalp tingle for some reason.

He noticed this emotional fluctuation and immediately put on an extremely gentle expression. He soothed her softly, "Don't be afraid. It no longer has a physical body and has merged into your blood. Close your eyes. Can you feel the connection between us?"

His voice seemed to have the power to bewitch people, and I actually subconsciously closed my eyes, wanting to experience what it felt like.

The original feeling of a foreign object invading the palm of my hand disappeared, leaving only the strong beating rhythm of my heart coming from my flesh and blood, which inexplicably gave me a sense of excitement and subtle happiness.

I suddenly opened my eyes, pushed him away, and used less force to prevent him from getting hurt again. "Wu Jiu! What did you do again?"

Because of the blood loss, his face was a little pale, and his eyes were light blue, but the redness and swelling from my beating were no longer so obvious. So when he acted like he was wronged, he looked a little pitiful.

He crawled to the bedside on his knees, turned his head towards the cabin window, and said solemnly, "I swear to the Moon God, ever since you came back, I have only been worried about your injuries, and I have never done anything to harm you! If I tell you a lie, I will suffer the pain of a thousand poisons gnawing at my heart, my intestines will be ruptured, and I will never be reborn!"

The other party suddenly swore a curse, and I didn't know what to say, but I was still unwilling to accept it. I felt that I was deceived, so I pointed to the window and said, "It's broad daylight now! Where is the moon?"

"The Moon God watches over His people day and night, and we never lie to Him. You still don't believe me?" He turned and got out of bed, stepped barefoot on the floor, bent down and picked up the dagger that had just scratched him, which was still stained with blood.

My eyes widened, not only because his posture was a little scary, but also because after he stood up, the fabric on his lower body was no longer bound by the belt, and it all spread out. Everything I should and shouldn't see poked into my eyes, and the impact was hard to resist.

Although this guy doesn't seem to be mentally normal, he seems to have a good figure.

"What are you going to do?" I quickly regained my remaining sanity and got out of bed to grab the dagger from his hand.

He grabbed my hand with his free hand and interlocked our fingers. At the same time, his expression became a little excited and he grinned like a child showing off his toys.

He didn't slash himself with the dagger in his other hand, and I breathed a sigh of relief. However, I noticed something else moving out of the corner of my eye, and when I looked closely, I saw that the wound on his chest was being repaired by some thin red lines at a speed visible to the naked eye. In an instant, the wound had healed, and the skin crack that was originally rolled outward had returned to its normal appearance.

If the blood hadn't been there, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see any signs of the previous injury.

So mysterious? I couldn't help but lower my head to take a closer look, but this action seemed to make him even more excited.

"Did you see it? Did you see it?" As he spoke, he stabbed the dagger into himself.

I watched helplessly as half of the dagger sank into his body, and then was pushed out as if by a small red snake that emerged from beneath his skin, and slowly retreated back the same way, leaving no trace on his body.

This scary trick completely stunned me.

Although Wu Jiu later explained to me in the simplest language possible, it was because he used the Gu Controlling Technique to connect with the Wang Gu in my body, which gave him extremely strong defense and wound repair abilities, this ability would only take effect when he and I were close, such as when he held my hand just now.

Probably because he was in a good mood, he explained a lot to me about witchcraft.

When Wang Gu was cultivated in my body before, as the owner of the worm, he should have been able to recall the worm at any time, so he boldly made a deal with me, saying that the condition was to take the worm. But then he found that he could not recall the worm. He would suffer backlash if he tried, and he could sense whenever I was emotionally agitated or physically injured.

He had never encountered such a situation before, so he was eager to meet me again, and he agreed to the marriage with Qi proposed by the officials of Dayue. As for my escape from the wedding procession, he also knew it early on, and because Yu Jinyao was attacked by the poisonous insect and needed a special method to cure it, he was the one who suggested to Situ Jue to find me...

Because Dayue and Qi had reached a friendly agreement, he didn't want the marriage to break up because of his own small actions, so when the fake princess entered Linyue City, he already knew through the poisonous insect that the person in the carriage was not me, but he still cooperated in the acting.

After he finished his confession, he looked at me expectantly, "When I return to Qijing this time, I will personally propose to His Majesty the King of Qi! We are destined to be together!"

"Please put on your clothes first." I held my forehead and didn't want to comment any more.

It turns out that he has been plotting against me all along. Although I have never invested any feelings in him, I always feel uncomfortable.

Because I wanted to know more about the secrets of Gu Shu, I continued to maintain my relationship with Wu Jiu in the following days and did not break up with him. Soon, when we arrived at the capital area, the Dacheng River section, and switched from water to land, I met Shen Yunzhou.

For the convenience of traveling, I still wore the clothes of a maid, but my identity had become an open secret. Wu Jiu showed his courtesy to me in front of Shen Yunzhou without any concealment, as if he was showing off that our relationship was getting closer.

Several times when Shen Yunzhou wanted to talk to me in private, he was interrupted by Wujiu or people he sent, leaving us no chance to meet alone.

Thinking about the arrangements after returning to the capital, I deliberately suggested to Wu Jiu that we go on a separate journey from him. Even if someone finds out that I left the capital without permission in the future, it will have nothing to do with him. At first, he wanted to insist on going with me, but I used Jiang Huan as an excuse, "You don't want to be expelled by His Majesty the State of Qi, do you?"

After all, now is not the time when I begged him to take me out of the capital.

He smiled reluctantly, pulling my sleeve quietly, "Then let's make a deal. After we return to the capital, you can't turn your back on me. You can't agree to anyone else's proposal before I propose..."

I put on a business smile and said, "Got it!"

After a few days of talking, he still refused to tell me what effect the so-called King Gu would have on me, and only said vaguely that it would definitely not be harmful. From the current situation, it seems that I am more beneficial to him, and he seems to be a trouble that is difficult to get rid of for me.
