002 thought Xiong Bufan was bragging. He thought that as long as he could breathe, the dynasty would never change.

Xiong Bufan took the pig leg that 002 had secretly hidden and shoved it in 002's face. The aroma of the pig leg hit 002's head, and 002 looked terrified and began searching his body for the antidote he had obtained from the Prince's Mansion that day.

Under 002's skin, insects could be faintly seen moving around. The area where the fragrance was most concentrated was 002's face, where many small bumps were moving rapidly.

Xiong Bufan took out a knife and approached 002's face step by step. Kongkong quickly stopped him, "Bufan, don't cut his face with the knife, he will be disfigured."

"Alright." Xiong Bufan took the pig leg off with a hint of regret, took a bite, and put it aside. He gently placed his hand on 002's face to stop 002 from putting the antidote in his mouth.

While 002 was struggling, Xiong Bufan accidentally knocked off something from 002's face. It was a thin, cicada-wing-like skin, revealing 002's original face, which was a cute baby face. However, due to years of lack of sunlight, the uninjured parts of her face had an unhealthy white color.

Xiong Bufan picked up the face mask and examined it carefully under the dim light. It was amazing that wearing this thing would turn you into another person's face. Xiong Bufan was curious whether he had this thing on his face. After putting the face mask down, he started rubbing his face. After a while, a face mask also fell off his face. It was quite fun.

002 had no antidote and lay on the ground writhing in pain. Xiong Bufan continued to rub his face, but even after rubbing it until it was red, he still couldn't find a second skin.

Seeing how pitiful 002 looked, Kongkong quickly said, "Bufan, look at 002, he's really in pain."

Xiong Bufan scratched the back of his head and said, "Sorry, I was too excited and forgot." After saying that, Xiong Bufan helped 002 up, patted the dirt off 002, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I forgot about you."

002 was so tormented that she couldn't utter a single word, her eyes bloodshot as she stared intently at Xiong Bufan.

Xiong Bufan knocked 002 unconscious with a single chop, then stripped 002 naked, made many cuts on 002's body with the knife, and put all the Gu worms out into a jar. Xiong Bufan then ran out of the yard, found a place with weeds, and pulled and plucked them from the left and right.

Inside the jar, the Gu worms are tearing each other apart. When resources are plentiful, they can coexist. When resources are scarce, the Gu worms will tear each other apart, and the one that survives is the Gu King.

When Xiong Bufan returned, he watched the battle between the Gu worms with great interest. Gradually, only one Gu worm remained in the jar. Xiong Bufan turned the jar, wanting to observe the Gu worm more closely, but the surviving Gu King, which had bitten its companion's body, did not move with the shaking of the jar. When Xiong Bufan stopped shaking the jar, the Gu King was still devouring the dead worms.

The antidote for 002 was insect eggs. Xiong Bufan poured out a small amount of the antidote and put it in the jar. The Gu King swallowed the antidote directly. Xiong Bufan felt that the Gu worm had grown larger, whether it was his imagination or not.

Kongkong also noticed that Xiong Bufan was looking at the Gu worm. "Bufan, this thing is very bad. You have to be careful."

Xiong Bufan didn't reply. He prepared to pour out the Gu worm and observe it in another place. Xiong Bufan even reached out his hand, but quickly withdrew it. The Gu worm fell to the ground, and Xiong Bufan crushed it into a pancake with one forceful step.

Kongkong asked Xiong Bufan with some confusion, "Weren't you interested in it? Why did you stomp on it and kill it?"

Xiong Bufan rubbed the ground a few more times to make sure the Gu King was dead, then said confidently, "No, I just didn't want to waste my energy."

"Once they've killed only one left, it'll be easier to stomp it to death. Besides, I want to prove that the antidote is just something you feed the insects."

Kongkong: "Bufan, you're really smart."

"I think so too."

002 lay on the bed, and Xiong Bufan took out the weeds he had just found, chewed up a little bit and applied it to 002's wound. He couldn't let 002 die like this; the mortal body was still too fragile.

Xiong Bufan didn't have enough saliva, so he used his hands to rub the herbs with water and then applied them. 002 was wrapped up like a mummy and lay on the bed. On the ground next to him were the gauze that Xiong Bufan had used and scattered, as well as the unfortunate Gu King that Xiong Bufan had stepped on and killed.

It was completely dark, and the stars quietly filled the entire sky. Xiong Bufan washed his hands and climbed onto the roof to look at the stars. When would she be able to ascend to immortality? She could at least take human form first.

Kongkong thought Xiong Bufan was feeling melancholy, so he asked, "Bufan, are you missing Xiaoying, Tianci, Ronghua, and County Chief Sun?"

Xiong Bufan rested his chin on his hand, "I don't care about them at all. I left Xiaoying a lot of money, enough for her to live a good life for the rest of her life. I don't need to worry about Tianci and Ronghua at all. As long as they don't do anything stupid, Ronghua will be rich and powerful for life. County Chief Sun has been promoted all the way over the years and lives a life that is much better than mine. I don't care about them at all."

I'm more worried about myself; 002, that penniless bodyguard, simply can't afford to support me.

Kongkong: "Aren't you worried about Cui Wudi?"

“I’m not her mother, why should I worry about her? Stop talking about that depressing stuff. She cries every time she calls me, and she’s even cried away my good fortune.”

"Ok."

After an unknown amount of time, Xiong Bufan jumped off the roof, smashing the only chair in the yard. Feeling a little guilty, Xiong Bufan touched his nose and ran back into the house.

002 was sleeping soundly in bed when Xiong Bufan dragged him to the ground, covered him with the blood-stained blanket he was using, and then lay down on the bed himself.

No one could take his bed, and if the blanket wasn't so dirty, Xiong Bufan would have covered himself with it.

Xiong Bufan wasn't one to strictly adhere to the separation of men and women, and 002 was oblivious to it, so both of them slept soundly, one on the bed and the other off the bed.

002 woke up in the middle of the night feeling pain all over his body. He found himself lying on the ground with half a quilt underneath him and half a quilt covering him. Xiong Bufan was fast asleep.

The injuries on her body weren't too serious. 002 struggled to get up, weakly walked to the table, lit a candle, and used the candlelight to illuminate her wounds. She slowly unwrapped the gauze. Xiong Bufan was really ruthless; there were almost ten knife wounds on her arms alone. She hadn't even had time to look at the ones on her legs yet. However, all the wounds had been treated and there was no infection. 002 breathed a sigh of relief, but she was unwilling to believe that the green paste was medicine.

After examining the wound, 002 applied some of her own medicine powder and bandaged it up. Xiong Bufan lay on the bed to sleep. 002 walked to the bedside, her eyes unreadable. This Xiong Bufan was definitely not the 003 she knew, but for now, he wouldn't pose a threat to her. However, this person didn't look like a woman at all.

Xiong Bufan was completely unaware of this and was fast asleep. 002 did nothing to harm Xiong Bufan, blew out the candle, tidied up, and lay back down.

As sunlight streamed through the window, Xiong Bufan slowly opened her eyes. She was still not quite used to being in this new world. Xiaoying hadn't cooked, and there was no hot breakfast. Xiong Bufan sat up and rubbed her stomach; she was hungry, very hungry.

002 lay on the ground, the swelling from yesterday's beating had subsided, and she was as quiet as a sleeping beauty.

Xiong Bufan got off the ground and gently kicked 002 with his foot. "Get up, I'm hungry, I want to eat!"

002 suddenly woke up with a start. It was the first time he had ever slept so soundly. He quickly reached for the knife under his pillow, only to find it empty. Nevertheless, he jumped up in a defensive stance. "Who called me? What happened?"

Xiong Bufan scoffed at 002's reaction, "A secret guard? He didn't even know I woke up."

002's explanation: "I'm injured. Why did you call me up?"

Xiong Bufan: "I'm hungry, I want to eat, cook for me."

"There's a market outside, go buy it yourself!"

Xiong Bufan held out a hand. "Give me the money."

002 cursed inwardly: I must have owed you something in my past life, you still need me to pay for your meals. But his hands kept moving, and after searching all over his body, he couldn't find a single copper coin. Only then did 002 remember that he was bandaged. He went over and rummaged through his robes, found a few pieces of silver and handed them to Xiong Bufan: "Go buy some food, don't bother me."

Xiong Bufan took the loose silver, jumped out of the window, and finally climbed over the wall to leave the courtyard.
