My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

Chapter 1273 - 1197: I Came to Slay ’God’_3

Qin Liuxi traced the patterns of the runes in the air with her fingers until the symbol was nearly complete, and then stopped, saying: "It’s the Evil Summoning Soul Nourishing Talisman."

Si Lengyue was surprised: "This is a Soul Suppressing Well, yet soul nurturing talismans are engraved on the Stone Beast. What does this mean?"

"This well should suppress someone’s soul, but Si Luo used it maliciously, drawing a talisman array on the Stone Beast to nurture its soul." Qin Liuxi looked at the restless Golden Cicada Poisonous Insect and said, "Are you sure what’s inside is the Gu God?"

Si Lengyue nodded: "I’m certain, it’s an extremely powerful Gu."

"Could it be that the Soul Suppressing Well actually suppresses the Gu Soul?" Qin Liuxi asked, "Does a poisonous insect have a soul after death?"

"If it’s a Lifebound Gu, it shares life and death with the Gu Master. If the Gu Master dies and is powerful enough, the Primordial Soul can merge with the Gu Soul, creating an opportunity for rebirth." Si Lengyue explained, "Any insect can become a Gu. Even an ordinary water-dwelling insect, if the Gu Soul enters its body and uses humans as hosts, it finds a suitable host. Once nurtured to be strong enough, rebirth through its shell is possible."

Qin Liuxi glanced at the Golden Cicada Poisonous Insect, pondering whether to crush it to prevent nurturing Gu from causing harm.

The Golden Cicada Poisonous Insect looked back at her, seeming to understand her thoughts, and flew up, circling around her, buzzing in her ear.

Angry.

Really, after all this time, is there no trust between humans and Gu?

I’m not that type of Gu; why would I dare to borrow your shell?

I’m not asking for trouble!

Si Lengyue laughed, saying: "No need to worry. It’s not your Lifebound Gu; how could it dare to take your place? If a poisonous insect tries to devour a stronger power, it’s a path to self-destruction; it wouldn’t dare!"

Golden Cicada Poisonous Insect: Exactly, I’m a good Gu!

Qin Liuxi touched her nose and said: "Perhaps what’s inside is the yin soul of a Gu Master fused with Gu?"

Si Lengyue was about to speak when a surge of overwhelming killing intent rushed towards them like a whirlwind.

The two swiftly dodged, avoiding the icy cold yin wind, watching the yin energy surge from the mouth of the well.

Something was emerging.

A sharp squeak sounded.

A soft-bodied creature, entirely golden with spots of blood red, mixed with yin energy flew out of the well, heading straight for Si Lengyue.

It sensed that she was also a Gu Master, and if it could inhabit her, it would be reborn.

Qin Liuxi felt a chill on her scalp, wondering how a Blood Leech could be shoe-sized—what amount of essence and blood had it consumed to grow this way?

Also, were those small swords within the suction cups? How sharp it was, what type of Blood Leech had teeth?

Qin Liuxi was about to move when Si Lengyue had already summoned her Lifebound Gu: "Devour it."

It was another Golden Cicada Poisonous Insect that she had refined, also her Lifebound Gu.

Facing Si Lengyue’s Lifebound Gu, within the Blood Leech’s yin soul cackled: "Such a mere Gu Master, do you dare to compare your Golden Cicada Poisonous Insect to me, Gu Witch Asa?"

My goodness, the Blood Leech has gained intelligence and speaks!

Its suction cup opened wide, spewing countless insects from its mouth, carrying extreme cold yin energy, like a torrential rain of Pear Blossom Needles, making one’s scalp tingle.

Si Lengyue’s Lifebound Gu moved swiftly; the Witch Power surged, like an invisible hurricane shielding her, while those insects were consumed by the wind, turning to dust.

The Blood Leech felt this Witch Power, suddenly going berserk, shrieking: "It’s you, it’s you again, you’re the descendant of the Si Family’s White Witch."

Si Lengyue looked at the disgusting writhing Blood Leech: "Indeed, I am a descendant of the Si Family, and the tenth-generation Sect Leader of the current White Witch Sect. Asa, you were an Evil Witch slain and suppressed by my ancestor Si Cheng, yet your yin soul hasn’t died, and now you have merged with Gu!"

When it announced its name, she remembered the family history she had read; the last ancestor of the Si Family with Witch Power, Si Cheng, had exhausted her cultivation to kill a Gu Witch named Asa, and it turned out to be this.

Asa cackled: "Your Si Family has a century-long curse, and your Witch Power weakens with each generation. The old witch Si Cheng killed my physical body, suppressing my soul in this dried well. That was her limit; how dare she attempt to destroy my Divine Soul? Ha, you’re not worthy! Now the old witch is dead, yet I’m still alive, and I’ve cultivated into a Gu God. Your ancestor’s sins, now you, her descendant, will repay. I want your body—ha, Si Cheng would never imagine her descendants would become my host! This is karma... Ah!"

Splat.

Qin Liuxi wielded the Divine Weapon, slicing the Blood Leech in half: "Such a Blood Leech keeps blabbering, already making me nauseous, you’re an eyesore, time to die!"
