Qian Yuanbao directed the guards to throw Qin Lang from the side room into the courtyard. After administering the antidote for the breath-holding pill, Qin Lang opened his eyes and spewed out a mouthful of blood, his face turning ashen. Bai Su had just explained that Qian Yuanbao and the others knew this was a backlash from the蛊虫 (gu worm).
Qin Lang’s gaze gradually focused on Li Nuan.
“You plotted against me?” Qin Lang gritted his teeth.
“I had no choice but to do so to survive,” Li Nuan replied softly, nestled obediently in Qian Yuanbao’s arms.
“What do you want?”
Qin Lang realized he couldn't break free from the ropes; the more he struggled, the tighter they became. He decided to give up struggling.
“Bai Su, do you have anything similar to that flesh-eating蛊 (gu) worm? We must let him taste what it’s like, right? Then, naturally, we’ll have the imperial court take you where you belong,” Qian Yuanbao asked.
“I don’t have anything so crude, but I have something more fun.” Bai Su took out two black pills from her satchel. “One is the laughing蛊 (gu), and the other is the itching蛊 (gu).”
With that, she popped them into Qin Lang’s mouth.
“These are my treasures, they melt upon contact, and their effect is wonderfully delightful. I cultivated these myself!”
Qin Lang gagged a few times but nothing came out. First, he felt a slight itch all over his body, and then he couldn’t stop laughing uncontrollably.
He didn’t want to laugh, but he couldn’t control it, making his appearance particularly grotesque.
The itching made him want to scratch, but his hands were bound, rendering him unable to do so. Qin Lang writhed like a maggot, using friction to relieve the itch. Soon, the places he had writhed over were left with bloodstains, which were glaringly obvious.
Qian Yuanbao covered Li Nuan’s eyes. “Good girl, let’s not look. It’s too disgusting.”
After about two quarters of an hour, Bai Su took out two more dark pills, preparing to feed them to Qin Lang.
“The only downside to my laughing蛊 (gu) and itching蛊 (gu) is that they only survive in the body for two quarters of an hour.”
Seeing Qin Lang breathing more in than out, Qian Yuanbao quickly stopped her. “These things are precious, aren’t they? Don’t waste them on him.”
“Not particularly precious,” Bai Su said casually, as she could cultivate them anytime she wished.
“I’m afraid he won’t be able to withstand it. I’ve heard that some people have actually laughed themselves to death. This person still needs to be handed over to Dali Temple. If he dies, it will be difficult to explain.”
As Qian Yuanbao spoke, he kept his eyes on Qin Lang and keenly noticed that Qin Lang’s eyes moved when he mentioned handing the person over to Dali Temple. There was no fear, but rather anticipation.
Was he driven to this state by the laughing蛊 (gu) and itching蛊 (gu)? Would he rather fall into the hands of Dali Temple? No, although he was in pain just now, it shouldn’t compare to the pain Qin Lang experienced when his face was disfigured. If he could endure the pain of disfigurement, there was no reason he couldn’t endure this.
Dali Temple?
Previously, some pursuers from Dali Temple had been poisoned by Qin Lang’s蛊 (gu), but what if those people had willingly allowed Qin Lang to use his蛊 (gu)?
Qian Yuanbao’s mind raced, and he felt he couldn’t just send the man back without understanding the situation.
“Can you keep an eye on him here and keep Qin Lang in check?” Qian Yuanbao asked.
“Naturally, no problem.”
“I entrust my A Nuan, my grandmother, and the household to you. I’m going out for a bit.”
Seeing Qian Yuanbao’s serious expression, Bai Su nodded without hesitation.
Qian Yuanbao took a few people and headed straight for Taihe Temple. He had some matters to discuss with Qi Zhenzhen in person and to devise a plan. Having finally captured the person, they had to resolve the issue decisively so that he and those behind him could no longer cause trouble. Da Feng Novel Network.
Qi Zhenzhen listened calmly to Qian Yuanbao’s words and couldn’t help but say, “How did your brain suddenly start working?”
Qian Yuanbao shot her a glare. “I’m smart even when I’m not ‘working,’ don’t talk nonsense with me. Tell me, what should we do?”
