Chapter 707: Chapter 707: King Yu’s Gu
A layer of dark clouds had obscured the sky, and suddenly a light rain began to fall.
Yun Hao suddenly turned deathly pale and weakly collapsed to the ground.
"This rain absorbs demon qi," Yu Longting extended his palm to catch the rainwater.
I reached into my sling bag and pulled out a folding umbrella.
Upon opening it, I first handed it over to Yu Longting.
After glancing at the weakened Yun Hao, I said to Yu Longting, "Lend
your outer robe to shield Yun Hao from the rain."
"No need, give him the umbrella. I’m not that fragile," Yu Longting said, a pleased smile curling at the corners of his mouth, due to my excessive favoritism.
I gave him a hard look, then passed the umbrella to Yun Hao, "Yun Hao, this umbrella is for you."
Having obviously favored one over the other just now, I felt sowhat embarrassed facing him.
"Thank you, but this rain is too strange, even if it doesn’t touch , it can still absorb demon qi," Yun Hao said weakly, with vivid snake scales growing on his arms, leaving no room to refuse the umbrella.
I caught a drop with my hand and looked up, "It slls like gu insects. No, that dark mass in the sky isn’t clouds, it’s gu insects!"
It was terrifying, sending a shiver through my scalp.
How many gu insects must gather together to appear like a blanket of clouds?
So this falling substance isn’t rainwater but the insects’ saliva? Or urine?
Since Dumpling was a demon fetus, his abdon was already showing signs of being chilled.
Yu Longting pursed his lips, his pale palms covering my head, "You can’t even take care of yourself, yet you love to ddle."
"It’s your fault for recklessly acknowledging a cheap son, now it’s too late to ignore," I retorted, my heart tightening slightly upon seeing his rain-dampened, bloodless palms.
"Madam, that lowly girl Su Wan has contracted Blood-weeping Syndro; even her only redeeming feature is gone, she’s so ugly I can scarcely recognize her," an irritating and mocking voice suddenly ca, sounding sowhat familiar.
I focused and saw that it was Lin Wanyan from Lin Family whom I had t in City A.
Lin Wanyan held a simple oil-paper umbrella, supporting an exceptionally beautiful white-haired woman beside her.
If not for the woman’s white hair, judging by her facial features, she seed to be in her twenties without a trace of aging.
The white-haired woman furrowed her brow, her face full of annoyance, "rely delivering a Bone Flute and we encounter this person who married a monster, making the entire Lin Family hang their heads in sha. She even has the nerve to co to our house and mooch off the Cold Moon Spring."
"Yu Longting, don’t lose your temper, she is Yan Hua, my maternal grandfather’s wife," I clung tightly to the frosty Yu Longting, whose anger could freeze the rain into ice, "Since she ca to deliver the Yin Bell, there’s no need for us to stay any longer. Let’s hurry on, otherwise... Yun Hao’s legs might turn into a tail."
My wrist was affected by Xiao Shenshen.
The two small red flowers that had blood when I woke up this morning were now wilting, their tender petals shriveling.
I took a deep breath, suppressing the gloom inside .
It seems the dark gu insects oppressing the sky must be raised by Yan Hua.
"Wanwan, you’ve been waiting for a while, haven’t you? Maternal Granduncle got two umbrellas, quickly take them," said Yan Bashui, having realized sothing was off with the rainwater.
In a flurry, he hurried everywhere in search of umbrellas, and finally having found them, he hurriedly brought them over, "Don’t let my esteed nephew get drenched, it’s really been many years since soone practiced gu keeping and released King Yu’s Gu."
"Brother! What are you ranting about? This lowly creature in her belly is just a Demon Snake, how can you recklessly acknowledge kin! If our father and mother were alive, they’d be infuriated to death by you again!"
