Light Dance Jiajing

Meng'er was speechless. Yes, she was only thirteen years old, still as childish as a child. Although some girls in ancient times got married at the age of twelve or thirteen, most of them would get married after the age of fifteen or sixteen, especially those from noble families. This was an age when they should be carefree and spoiled. However, she had traveled thousands of miles with her brother and experienced many dangers, but she did not feel bitter at all. Or rather, she had been forced to do so. One thing after another had pushed her to where she was now. Zaihou was under her wings and was well protected by her. What else was there for her to be dissatisfied with?

"Hou'er, Senior Gu Wang will help you detoxify later. You just need to be obedient. Well, it's like this. I have taken the antidote to control the Gu worm. You and I are connected by blood, so I can confuse the Gu worm. That is, trick the little bug out."

Zaihou said half-doubtfully: "Are you trying to lure this poisonous insect of mine to my body?" He always remembered what the old poisonous creature had said before.

Meng'er looked as if it was impossible and said, "How could the old poisoner have such ability? He was lucky enough to drive out this little bug. Do you think that he can really drive out the king of poisons just because he is called the King of Poisons?"

Zaihou lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly looked up at Meng'er and said, "Sister, this little bug has been following me for many days, and I am a little reluctant to leave it. Haha, there is no need to bother with the old poisonous creature anymore. Let's leave quickly."

Mei'er's tense face was a little stiff, and a flash of anxiety in her eyes did not escape Zaihou's gaze. Zaihou still looked at Mei'er steadily, his face gradually gloomy and was replaced by a hint of stubbornness. The brother and sister just looked at each other like this, without saying a word, but the tacit understanding they had since childhood made them already understand each other's thoughts.

Zaihou suddenly smiled, but there were tears in his eyes: "Sister, take me away, I will live happily every day from now on."

Meng'er went forward and hugged his thin body tightly: "He'er, you are my only wish. I just want you to live well."

Zaihou said softly after a while: "Sister is also Hou'er's only wish."

Ajin looked at the brother and sister for a long time in silence. Alai beside him sighed heavily and shook his head after a long time. Ajin glanced at the Gu King who was waiting impatiently, and knew that it was imperative to poison Zaihou. Neither of the brother and sister would give in, and it would be useless to continue the stalemate, so he walked forward, hesitated for a moment, and stretched out his finger to press Zaihou's acupoint. Zaihou fell down softly, staring at Ajin hatefully. Meng'er supported Zaihou, and after a panic, she understood Ajin's purpose. She nodded at Ajin, and followed Ajin to carry Zaihou into the hut.

The Gu King had never been so excited before. Anything related to Gu would touch his nerves, let alone these two blood Gu. Although this method was thought up by him, he was excited and nervous about whether it could be successfully put into practice. He first cut a slit on Meng'er's wrist and used a small bowl to collect a full bowl of blood. Then he cut a small incision on Zaihou's wrist and put their wrists together so that the two wounds were tightly fitted. Then he stared nervously at the shallow line on Zaihou's wrist. This line had grown past the elbow. The Gu King stared at it intently. Half an hour passed, and he seemed not to have even blinked. After a while, the Gu King frowned, thought hard for a while, and suddenly stood up, muttering to himself: "I wonder why it won't work. Quickly untie the acupoints of this kid." The voice behind him became louder, obviously speaking to Ajin outside the door.

Mei'er's arms had become numb after such a long time. She looked at Ajin who walked in and said, "Ajin, please wait a moment." Mei'er looked at Zaihou who could neither move nor speak, and finally stopped avoiding his gaze. She said seriously, "Hou'er, I already have the same blood parasite as you in my body. No matter what you think, this is a fact. Yes, you want to lead your blood parasite to me, and I will not die because of the male and female antagonism. Hou'er, things have come to this point. If you stop me, you will harm me as well." As she spoke, she still looked at Zaihou steadily, trying to ignore the sad and helpless look in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Hou'er, you know me. No one can stop me from doing what I want to do." Zaihou's heart felt like it was being hit by a heavy hammer, and he seemed to hear the sound of his heart breaking.

There was the toxin of the female Gu in Meng'er's blood, but Yu Zaihou had the antidote. After taking it for seven days in a row, the black line on Zaihou's arm had already faded a lot after the male Gu was separated out. Now with the antidote blood, the line faded at a speed visible to the naked eye until it disappeared completely. Meng'er was overjoyed, but Zaihou became even more silent after that.

After this matter was settled, the Gu King no longer paid attention to them and locked himself in the laboratory, trying to raise another pair of blood Gu. Meng'er was eager to return home. She didn't know how Kangpin was doing in the cold palace. She was always worried about her situation in the cold palace and her health. She didn't know if Zaiji would go back to cause trouble for her mother after leaving here. Ah Jin had been looking at her for a long time and shook his head and said, "You have been out for more than half a year, why are you so anxious now?"

While packing her things, Mei'er said, "You don't know, my mother can't live without me. She has no choice but to come out these days. I have to go back quickly. My mother is not in good health. Ajin, let's go soon." The third protector left due to an urgent matter half a month ago. He left a few masters to protect Mei'er and her siblings, and entrusted Ajin to take care of them. Ajin also happened to be heading north, so he agreed to send Mei'er and the others to Shanxi and then go their separate ways. As for the Miao people, they had no time to care about them. It was only after Mei'er's repeated mention that Ajin hurried to Pyin Uygur and entrusted the Miao people to Mang Yinglong's subordinates.
