Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. "The Golden Silkworm Gu is also very interested in the Chi Pearl, always gnawing on it."
"What do we do now?" Wang Xiaoli had finally obtained the opportunity to transform into a dragon, but she was being held hostage by these annoying Golden Silkworm Gu and could not fuse with the power of the Chi Pearl.
"I'll negotiate with them." Lin Fan closed his eyes and communicated with the Golden Silkworm Gu.
Wang Xiaoli clenched her fists, watching Lin Fan with frustration and anger.
A moment later, Lin Fan said, "They want to make a hole in your stomach and take turns guarding it. In other words, they want a share of the spoils."
"There seems to be no other way. I can't control them as I please."
Wang Xiaoli was unwilling to share the hard-won Chi Pearl.
However, after a moment's thought, she realized that once her strength greatly increased, not only would Lin Fan die, but these disgusting little creatures would not escape either.
"Alright, I agree."
Wang Xiaoli nodded reluctantly.
Lin Fan extended his hand. "Give me the Tongtian Pot."
"You want the Tongtian Pot too?" Wang Xiaoli was surprised.
Lin Fan spread his hands. "You said yourself you would use it as an exchange. Later, it wasn't enough, so you added the thirty-year pact. You're not going to go back on your word, are you?"
"Here you go." Wang Xiaoli didn't hesitate for long and threw the small, emerald green wine pot.
After all, in three to five years, she would get back everything she had lost, with interest.
The Tongtian Pot traced a parabolic arc in the air, and Lin Fan caught it steadily.
The warm and delicate texture of the tentacles made him wonder if the Tongtian Pot was alive.
Lin Fan immediately shook it. It was empty, with nothing inside.
"Where is the spiritual liquid you mentioned?"
"Of course, I drank it."
Wang Xiaoli finally felt a little better. She hadn't let Lin Fan take even more advantage.
"Oh." Lin Fan was a bit helpless.
"What are you going to do now?" Wang Xiaoli suddenly asked.
"Of course, you're coming back with me." Lin Fan beckoned.
With seven Golden Silkworm Gu holding her hostage, there was no need to worry about the snake demon causing any more trouble.
"Alright." Wang Xiaoli walked over to Lin Fan reluctantly.
Lin Fan shifted aside. "Keep your distance from me."
"Tch!" Wang Xiaoli pouted.
Lin Fan watched her warily while controlling the Gu insects to form a cloud of insects.
"By the way, can you fly?"
"Piece of cake."
Wang Xiaoli raised her chin arrogantly, constantly mocking Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was displeased. "What are you laughing at! Come with me!"
He soared into the air, stepping on the insect cloud, and leaped several feet.
Black mist enveloped Wang Xiaoli, and she quickly followed.
The two of them displayed their unique abilities, soaring through the night sky, their whereabouts undiscovered.
It took more than half an hour, and the Gu insects were exhausted when Luofeng Village finally appeared in Lin Fan's sight.
"We're finally home."
Lin Fan sighed with relief, feeling his limbs weak and his body and mind fatigued.
"I forgot to tell you something."
As Wang Xiaoli spoke, she subconsciously moved closer to Lin Fan.
Instantly, the Gu insects became agitated, nearly causing Lin Fan to fall from the sky.
"What is it? Tell me."
Lin Fan calmed the Gu insects with his thoughts, and it took him a lot of effort to stabilize himself.
"Half an hour ago, I killed someone. Is that okay?" Wang Xiaoli said calmly.
Lin Fan's whole body trembled upon hearing this, and his footing became unstable. He swayed and fell towards the ground.
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
The Gu insects quickly flew below Lin Fan, supporting him with their tiny bodies.
Lin Fan stopped falling when he was only half a meter from the ground.
He lay on the light, fluffy cloud bed, flipped over, and jumped down.
Wang Xiaoli looked at his disheveled appearance and sneered disdainfully.
"What did you just say?"
"I said I killed someone, is there a problem?"
"There's a big problem!"
Lin Fan was furious. "You used to say you never killed innocent people. It seems you lied to me!"
"Who lied to you!"
Wang Xiaoli crossed her arms and said righteously, "I never kill innocent people, but that doesn't mean I have to tolerate it when others provoke me. He brought it upon himself, who can he blame!"
"Fine, fine, you're amazing, you're capable."
Lin Fan nodded in anger. "When tanks and artillery arrive, I hope you can still be this tough."
Wang Xiaoli's expression changed. "Didn't you say I'm your person now? Are you unwilling to help me cover up such a small matter?"
"It's a matter of life and death, my dear sister!" Lin Fan blew his hair and glared.
He lowered his head slightly, thinking hard about what to do.
Just then, his phone suddenly rang.
Lin Fan took out his phone and saw the caller ID was Tian Mengyao. He immediately pressed the answer button. "Mengyao..."
"Xiao Fan, where are you? I'm coming to save you right away, woo woo woo..."
"Even if it's a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, I'll go through it with you."
Tian Mengyao's tearful voice came from the receiver.
"I'm home." Lin Fan smiled gently.
"Uh." Tian Mengyao's crying immediately stopped.
Bai Jing, driving a jeep and fully armed, looked at Tian Mengyao curiously.
What was wrong?
Had something else happened?
"Lin Fan, wait at home and don't go anywhere. I'll come back and find you!" Tian Mengyao's voice was filled with deep hatred.
*Snap!*
A crisp sound.
Tian Mengyao hung up the phone fiercely.
Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat, knowing he was in trouble.
"Alas!"
He sighed and walked into the clinic with heavy steps.
There were two dried wild rabbits on the ground. The exhausted Gu insects were feasting on them, quickly devouring them, leaving no bones behind.
"These little things are so greedy. I wonder what they taste like."
Wang Xiaoli sat in the grand tutor's chair, with her legs crossed, licking her lips. Her forked tongue, more than a foot long, shot out and then quickly retracted.
Lin Fan's eyebrows were tightly furrowed. "Let me tell you something, I've let them live in your cave dwelling."
Wang Xiaoli's face instantly changed. "You really think Luofeng Mountain belongs to you? I haven't settled accounts with you yet, and you've taken over my cave dwelling!"
"Keep your voice down. Are you afraid others won't know that there's a murderer hidden in my clinic, or what?" Lin Fan said irritably.
Wang Xiaoli quickly quieted down, but her expression remained unpleasant.
"Then what do you expect me to do now? I can't live with you, can I?"
"Dream on!"
Lin Fan snorted. "You'll have to find a place to stay yourself for the next few days. I'll find you a new home in a few days."
He pointed at Wang Xiaoli's stomach. "I have to tell you in advance that you can't be too far from me. Once the Golden Silkworm Gu are too far from me, they will immediately gnaw on your internal organs."
Wang Xiaoli gave him a thumbs-up. "If you're talking about being ruthless, you're really something."
Lin Fan retorted, "If you're talking about holding grudges and killing without blinking, no one is more prompt than you."
The two stared at each other, like fighting cocks, neither willing to back down an inch.
