After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

Chapter 137 The Bosses Turned into Gu

"After the assassination at Fengdu Garden, I moved some of the human Gu here."

"They are the best batch of human Gu poisoners in the last decade. You are my wife, you should see for yourself."

I have a feeling there's something fishy going on.

Bai Li Ce asked cautiously, "Isn't Lincheng your territory? Why did you move here?"

"They were too badly injured at the time, and these Gu worms weren't completely under Chao Sheng's control. I'm worried that your Baili clan might take the opportunity to rescue them..."

As the fallen leaves crunched underfoot, Wang Qingyan spoke calmly and indifferently, as if he were telling someone else's story.

But Bai Li Ce had done this problem beforehand, so she knew he wasn't truly calm.

"Then..." She tightened her grip on his hand and asked with concern, "Is your injury fully healed now? Are there any lingering problems?"

Wang Qingyan stopped in his tracks, a somewhat uncertain expression on his face. "Isn't it a bit too late for you to ask me now?"

"..." Looking at his profile, Baili Ce felt for a moment that he had indeed gone a bit too far.

Honestly, you should have apologized first before asking!

However, in this situation, it is clearly not suitable to perform any more fancy tricks.

So she chose to keep quiet...

The journey continued, winding and turning, until Baili Ce quickly forgot the way he had come.

It's that kind of forgetfulness—one moment you're passing by a pile of rocks, and the next you can't remember where those rocks are.

Perhaps he set up some kind of trap in this forest?

Or perhaps... he used some kind of drug on himself again.

In short, the deeper you go, the heavier the atmosphere of death becomes.

But when a large group of "people" of different ages and appearances, all looking equally lifeless, appeared before Baili Ce, it was too late for her to escape.

The surrounding firelight was not bright, but one of them seemed to sense something as soon as he "saw" Baili Ce.

Immediately, with a series of cracking sounds, he twisted his stiff neck and raised his arms, which looked as if they had been repeatedly run over by a car wheel, towards her.

"..." Bai Li Ce didn't recognize him at first either.

But upon closer inspection, each person only has half an arm left...

Her hazy eyes, the way she twisted her neck, and the smell of herbs mixed with the stench of blood—it all broke her down!

"She...she is?!" She stumbled back several steps in disbelief.

He grabbed her waist to keep her from sitting on the ground in fright and to prevent her from running away. "I told you, I don't like the injuries on your body."

"You!" This is no longer an issue of being unreasonable.

Bai Lize didn't know how to describe this feeling. "She's just a doctor! Those injuries are from my own falls and bumps. What does it have to do with her!"

"But she is the doctor that Lu Jian specifically assigned to you."

"..." He was so angry that his fists hardened.

Seeing the anger in her eyes that made her fists hard, Wang Qingyan chuckled and said, "You're angry already?"

Unfortunately, it's still far from enough.

He drew her gaze to the female doctor, a hint of excitement on his face.

"You all think I'm abnormal, that I'm crazy."

"But you don't understand that it's this world that's crazy."

"I have never done anything for any particular reason."

Power? Status?

Or should everyone fear him?

Hmph, none of that is necessary.

He had already gained and lost these things countless times.

They're all just boring stuff.

"But that doesn't mean I'll let you manipulate and control me."

"..." After glancing at the female doctor again, Baili Ce lowered his head, too ashamed to speak.

Wang Qingyan had no intention of letting anyone go.

"Okay, I was just kidding you." Seeing that Baili Ce was upset and thought it was her own fault, he said it directly.

“She was already under the influence of the curse before you came back, but these doctors were all stubborn and refused to listen, so I punished them slightly.”

A slight reprimand? These doctors?

That is to say, there is more than one.

Bai Lize looked at him, both horrified and incredulous.

“Hah…” The female doctor, who had been staring in the direction of Baili Ce, let out a ghostly breathing sound.

Two days ago, she was still a living, breathing person.

"Bang!" After a long while, Baili Ce elbowed Wang Qingyan away.

She shook off his outstretched hand and steadied herself.

Wang Qingyan looked down at his empty hand, somewhat incredulous, then laughed mockingly, "Baili Ce, you still dare to push me away?"

"..." Bai Li Ce ignored him.

Instead, he picked up a thick branch with a pointed end, gritted his teeth, overcame the fear from the depths of his soul, and thrust it in with lightning speed!

"Sss!" The female doctor, who didn't know how to dodge, was suddenly stabbed through the heart.

He was then pulled out by Baili Ce, who pressed down on his shoulder.

With a "plop," a gushing blood instantly splattered all over her...

Instead of feeling even more terrified, she saw gentleness and peace on the female doctor's face, which could no longer be called a face.

Before I knew it, my thoughts drifted back to the first few years after she arrived.

At that time, she still stubbornly held onto her beliefs and ideals.

The naive belief that, with one's own strength, even if one cannot change the world, one can at least avoid being changed by the world.

Unfortunately, what awaited her was only constant assimilation by the times and relentless social beatings.

And now, she has even forgotten who she is.

Slowly... Baili Ce came to his senses, looked down at the crimson branch in his hand, his nose stung, and he trembled slightly.

She actually became someone who climbed up the social ladder by stepping on others, just like in feudal society.

"Fine~" Seeing her eyes redden, Wang Qingyan became even more unhappy.

"If you're so reluctant to let others suffer, then you might as well kill a few more."

"Snap!" With a snap of the fingers.

All the other "people" opened their eyes at once!

"..." Bai Li Ce, still grieving, was stunned for a moment before suddenly raising his head.

It was a snap of fingers! Not a box!

Before An Luoshi died, he had already identified him!

"Master..." But before she could react, a series of rough, hoarse, yet strangely familiar voices emerged from the "crowd" in front of her.

"Boss, boss..."

"Master, help, help me..."

"..." Bai Li Ce was so frightened that his mouth was wide open, but he couldn't make a sound.

Then her vision blurred, and she collapsed into Wang Qingyan's arms... It took her a while to recover, "You...you..."

He was trembling violently and his words were extremely incoherent.

and--

"No, no...you, you let me go..." Baili Ce desperately tried to break free from Wang Qingyan.

She suddenly realized that Wang Qingyan in front of her might really be... a monster who had lived for a very long time.

But Wang Qingyan hugged her even tighter, saying, "Look, no matter how many times you fall, I will catch you the moment you fall."

"And what can they do for you?"

His voice was full of seduction and malice, like a victor who had gained the upper hand and was deliberately putting on a show of pity.

On one hand, it ruthlessly crushes and ridicules a person's self-esteem.

On the one hand, they'll tell you, "I'll fix it for you."

"..." Baili Ce was unable to break free.

She could only close her eyes... little by little suppressing all her fear, letting Wang Qingyan firmly grasp her wrist, making her stiff and cold.

When she spoke again, even though she tried her best to control herself, the despair in her voice was still evident: "What... exactly did you do?"

He changed to holding her with one hand, and Wang Qingyan had his Gu guards light all the torches.

"Do you know why they haven't become Gu Guards yet?"

"Because I'm waiting for you to witness this 'miracle' together."

"So I deliberately slowed down the growth rate of morning glory in their bodies."

"I just don't know if you have any way to save them?"

Bai Li Ce remained silent.

Wang Qingyan laughed again, "It's okay if you don't say."

As long as she's by his side, he'll eventually be unable to resist making a move.

"Anyway, apart from the one you just killed, this is the last batch of old Gu."

"Thanks to Lu Jian, those new Gu worms no longer need such a long time to be nurtured, which saves me a lot of effort."

"Come closer."

"Let go..." Baili Ce refused, but was forcibly pulled closer.

"There are quite a few people you know here. Take a look and see which one you like, and we'll send them to you later."

"So you won't get bored spending all your time with just me."

"Let go!"

"What are you afraid of? Don't you care about them a lot? You even made sure to arrange a way out for them before they left!"

"What a pity, they didn't appreciate it and secretly ran back to Xinsheng Town!"

Bai Li Ce desperately backed away, shouting, "No! Let go, let go!"

"Come on! Take a closer look!"

Bai Li Ce didn't want to look, but Wang Qing Yan dragged her along and pointed them out to her one by one, saying, "This is the second-in-command who's best to you!"

"Wang Qingyan! Let me go! You bastard! Why don't you just die!"

"I thought he was the dumbest, but I never expected that when he realized there was something wrong with his brain, he would actually kill a lot of my people."

"..." Bai Li Ce, who was struggling, froze, his face ashen.
