The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

Perhaps she didn't realize her gloating just now?

Xuan Zhu, however, shifted his gaze from the mass and looked at Luo Qianmo with a grave expression, saying, "Your Highness, I think this thing is a kind of Gu worm. If I'm not mistaken, there should be quite a few of these Gu worms hidden in this thicket."

Luo Qianmo didn't speak, but Fang Qingyou's smile vanished instantly. She asked incredulously, "Lord Zhu, you're saying this dark thing is a Gu worm?"

Xuan Zhu nodded firmly: "Miss Fang, I have seen Gu before, and I am certain that this thing is a type of Gu worm."

Fang Qingyou's face paled instantly.

Living in modern times, she had never come into contact with Gu, only seeing those mysterious records in some medical books.

She never imagined that these fantastical things actually existed.

Those medical books record that Gu is an extremely evil entity; some feed on flowers, plants, insects, and beasts, while others feed on meat.

Of course, this "meat" includes all animals, including humans.

"Ugh—" A disgusting image suddenly flashed through her mind, and Fang Qingyou couldn't help but vomit.

The others were not much better off than her.

Luo Qianmo's thick, dark, and slender eyebrows almost furrowed, and his thin lips were pressed into a slightly pale line. It seemed that this trip was definitely testing his obsession with cleanliness.

Seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, Xuanzhu said again, "Your Highness, these Gu worms are most afraid of fire. It's getting late, so we should find a mountain to settle down as soon as possible."

Luo Qianmo nodded slightly, his face cold.

The disgusting scene made him unwilling to utter a single word.

Then, Xuanlan spurred his horse forward and said, "Your Highness, please let me lead the way."

"Wait a minute." Just then, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out.

Xuan Lan turned her head and saw that it was Fang Qingyou who was speaking.

Everyone was surprised by Fang Qingyou's change. The girl, who had been extremely uncomfortable just moments before, was now calm and composed.

“Miss Fang, you…” Xuan Lan didn’t understand why Fang Qingyou still wanted to stay here.

"Lord Lan, I need to do something. Please wait a moment, I'll be done soon," Fang Qingyou said, and amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, she spurred her horse to the tree.

"Miss, I'll stay with you." Yuefei urged her horse forward, keeping close behind Fang Qingyou.

The tree Fang Qingyou walked to was the very tree where the Gu worm had been impaled by the small sword.

Fang Qingyou held a delicate little knife in her hand and quickly made a cut on the black, gooey body of the Gu worm. Without changing her expression, she put the fallen part into a jar that she had prepared beforehand.

"Awooo—" The Gu worm, which was not completely dead, let out a miserable scream. Its body, pierced by the small sword, struggled, and black, foul-smelling blood flowed down. It looked extremely terrifying and disgusting, as if it could break free from the sword and pounce on Fang Qingyou at any moment.

This scene terrified Yuefei.

If she had known earlier that Fang Qingyou was going to do something so dangerous, she would definitely have asked Dailu for his opinion.

At this moment, Fang Qingyou quickly sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder onto the Gu worm, and the shrill screams immediately stopped.

Afterwards, he glanced indifferently at the Gu worm that had turned into a pool of blood, and rode away without changing his expression.

"Yuefei, let's go."

Yuefei obediently followed.

Fang Qingyou took a few steps and then stopped. Then she saw Yue Ma dismount, seemingly picking up something from the ground. After picking it up, she quickly mounted the horse again.

Because Yuefei was standing right next to Fang Qingyou, she saw very clearly what Fang Qingyou had picked up—it was none other than the three poisoned needles Fang Qingyou had thrown out earlier.

At that moment, Yuefei finally understood why her prince liked this girl so much.

Miss Fang is kind and romantic, stubborn and adorable, intelligent and clever, gentle yet proud. How could anyone not like her?

Perhaps only a woman like her could be worthy of their prince.

Amidst the varied gazes of the crowd, Fang Qingyou calmly returned to her team.

For a moment, everyone's expression changed as they looked at Fang Qingyou.

Okay, so Fang Qingyou didn't want to leave this place; she just wanted to kill that Gu worm.

Xuan Lan, in particular, was meeting Fang Qingyou for the first time. He never expected that the seemingly weak girl would suddenly become so powerful.

Her calm demeanor when facing the Gu worms was in no way inferior to that of their best female bodyguards.

After the initial surprise, everyone turned their attention to Luo Qianmo. Their prince's future consort seemed to be quite extraordinary.

These two people, one with an extremely severe case of mysophobia, and the other who can remain unfazed even when faced with a Gu worm, their lives must be quite...exciting, right?

Luo Qianmo and his subordinates all felt that their prince's life would be very rich and fulfilling in the future.

Luo Qianmo took in everyone's expressions, gave them a cold look, and his subordinates all lowered their heads in fear.

They weren't trying to make a fool of their prince; they were genuinely happy for him.

Yes, I'm happy.

Seeing the strange looks on everyone's faces, Fang Qingyou assumed they were frightened by her fierce killing of the Gu worms, so her expression softened: "Lord Lan, I'm all better now, you can leave."

Xuan Lan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Luo Qianmo with a questioning gaze.

Seeing Luo Qianmo nod slightly, he spurred his horse forward: "Let's go, everyone keep up, and be careful on the way."

Whether it was because Luo Qianmo's sword pierced the Gu worm, or because Fang Qingyou used a handful of medicinal powder to kill one of the Gu worms, this had an effect. Although everyone's horses were still somewhat frightened, they could still be driven, and the group followed Xuan Lan and rode away quickly.

Before leaving, Fang Qingyou took one last look at the withered bushes. Her intuition told her that many more of those Gu worms were probably still hidden there.

They simply haven't shown themselves yet because of their strength.

She doesn't know much about these Gu worms yet, but once she studies them thoroughly, she'll be able to find out who's behind this evil step by step.

When she looked away, she met Luo Qianmo's deep, beautiful dark eyes, but she couldn't see the expression in them.

Suddenly remembering Luo Qianmo's obsessive-compulsive disorder, Fang Qingyou smiled at him, her smile as bright and beautiful as a summer flower.

Hehe, now that Luo Qianmo has witnessed her fierce side and seen her cut off that disgusting Gu worm, he probably won't tease her anymore next time, and he won't dare to take advantage of her again, right?

Thinking of this possibility, Fang Qingyou was in a great mood. Did she finally have a magic weapon to stop Luo Qianmo?
