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

It's like shooting oneself in the foot!

In an attempt to stop Luo Qianmo from touching her head, she inadvertently let him hug her.

Yes, when Fang Qingyou said she was cold, Luo Qianmo almost instantly pulled her into his arms, trying his best to keep her body close to his.

"Youyou, are you still cold?"

Fang Qingyou rolled her eyes speechlessly. Was this a case of reaping what she sowed? Heh.

"Luo Qianmo, I'm not cold anymore, can you let go of me? The way we are now seems a bit..."

She found it hard to say the phrase "one should not touch another person's hand," as she wasn't that thick-skinned.

However, since she didn't explain, Luo Qianmo didn't seem to understand what she meant.

Of course, she thought he was just pretending not to understand.

"Something seems to be there?"

"It's nothing." Fang Qingyou gritted her teeth. "Luo Qianmo, just let me go. Don't you think your body is colder than mine?"

She really didn't want to say such hurtful things, but did she have any other choice?

She had witnessed Luo Qianmo's shamelessness many times before, and she didn't want to experience it again.

As it turned out, this statement was quite effective, because Luo Qianmo released her the next moment.

However, Fang Qingyou clearly hadn't expected his intention.

Then she saw Luo Qianmo looking at her with a wronged expression: "Youyou, I'm so cold too."

puff--

Is this an attempt to be cute?

Fang Qingyou swore that Luo Qianmo must have done it on purpose; his goal was to make her hug him!

No, no, I absolutely refuse.

"Luo Qianmo, let's leave here as soon as possible and see if we can find any clean clothes elsewhere. Staying here is not a solution."

Even though she had medicine to prevent colds, wearing wet clothes was still bad for her health.

"it is good."

Fang Qingyou finally heard Luo Qianmo's reply and felt a sense of relief, as if she had been granted a pardon.

The mechanisms in the stone chamber were very complex, and Luo Qianmo studied them for a long time.

They didn't leave the stone chamber until Fang Qingyou's clothes were almost completely dry.

As she left, Fang Qingyou took one last look at the spring.

She still couldn't explain or understand what was happening here.

My mind was filled with doubts.

What appeared to be a subterranean palace was dimly lit, with only one source of light.

At this moment, they seemed to be in the square outside the palace.

Here, many people dressed in black are moving back and forth.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that each of the men in black wears a mask with fangs on their face.

Luo Qianmo and Fang Qingyou's expressions changed simultaneously. These people were actually the fanged masked assassins who had been chasing them.

Fang Qingyou was still stunned in place when Luo Qianmo pulled her behind a palace wall.

At that moment, she realized that she had been too slow to react.

They've probably stumbled into the enemy's lair, yet she's standing openly in front of them. Isn't she just trying to become a sitting duck?

Something big seems to have happened here. These fanged masked assassins are all walking hurriedly, looking extremely flustered and even terrified.

Anxious conversations reached my ears.

"Has something really happened to the Palace Master?"

"I don't know. I only heard that the palace master was recuperating when the palace gates were suddenly locked, and those who stayed inside were unable to come out."

"So, will they all die?"

After a moment of silence, another voice spoke with barely concealed worry: "I'm just worried that if something really happens to the Palace Master, will we even be able to survive?"

The first voice became even more anxious: "How could I have forgotten? Without the Palace Master, we can't achieve immortality."

"Let's wait and see what news those guardians will send out."

Behind the palace wall, Luo Qianmo and Fang Qingyou exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

If they weren't mistaken, the Palace Master these fanged masked assassins were referring to was probably the Fang Lord.

But is he still alive?

Fang Qingyou knew very well that given the condition of that Fang-toothed Lord at that time, there was absolutely no way he could have survived.

The poison pill that Xiaoyaozi gave her was extremely potent, and moreover, when she fell off the mountaintop, she clearly felt that the life force of the Fang Lord was fading away.

But how is he still alive now?

Did Xiaoyaozi save him, or did something happen that she didn't know about?

Although Fang Qingyou wasn't entirely at ease with Xiaoyaozi, her intuition told her that it probably wasn't the Fang Lord she had saved.

Xiaoyaozi was probably not present at the time; he likely discovered their trail afterward and followed them to that underground cave.

If Xiaoyaozi wanted to save their enemies, it would be more feasible to just kill them.

Given her and Luo Qianmo's situation at the time, if Xiaoyaozi really wanted to take action against them, it would have been an extremely easy thing to do.

But if it wasn't Xiaoyaozi, what circumstances allowed the Fang Lord to survive?

Is there really such a thing as a way to bring the dead back to life?

Or is it that the Lord, like himself, also transmigrated?

However, even if a new soul transmigrates into that lord's body, his soul changes, but his body remains the same.

How could such a body resist such poison?

Fang Qingyou suddenly remembered the Gu worms here. She had heard of some Gu techniques that allowed one to shed their skin like a cicada. Could it be that the Venerable One had survived using such a mysterious Gu technique?

When she thought of this possibility, she remembered the Gu King, which was "combined" from eight Gu worms.

That Gu King has two "lives," or more accurately, two hearts.

One of them is like a person, located on the left chest, and the other is located on the top of the head.

Since these Gu worms are on the territory of this Venerable One, they must obviously have some connection with him.

Did the Fang Lord cultivate these Gu worms?

The answer is almost certainly yes. Even if it's not the Fang Lord himself, he probably has henchmen doing these things for him.

Originally, Fang Qingyou only thought that the Fang Lord was terrifyingly powerful, but now she felt extremely disgusted.

Cherishing life is indeed a virtue, but to cultivate a sinister Gu king for one's own life is chilling.

She even had a vague feeling that this Fang Lord might be the culprit behind this southern insect plague.

This is absolutely heinous!

These insects that cause this plague are no ordinary insects. Not to mention the three southern provinces, if left unchecked, the entire Yunyue Kingdom and even the whole world may become a world of Gu worms.

It's terrifying to think about; the human world was almost replaced by this horrible species.
