The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 500: The Appearance of the Eight Paws Evil Bee and the Arrival of the Ruler!
Chapter 500: The Appearance of the Eight Paws Evil Bee and the Arrival of the Ruler!
Chu Hanlin said, "There’s no need to rush. Do you believe everything he says? The Imperial Physician hasn’t diagnosed it yet. Besides, if the Imperial Physician can’t, my younger sister has her own methods for detoxification and extraction."
His words rekindled hope among the despairing officials:
"Yes! Why have we been led by the nose?"
"The Ninth Princess is capable of anything; she must have a way to detoxify!"
"Indeed, the Ninth Princess’s medical skills surpass even those of the Chief Imperial Physician."
Xuanyuan Che, hearing this, could not hide his anxiety.
The former ruler’s death in Mu Nation was indeed a serious matter. Chu Nanli should not be underestimated!
In that case...
Leave no future troubles!
Xuanyuan Che’s expression darkened as he pulled out a knife and cut his own arm.
Blood flowed profusely.
Though the crowd did not know his intentions, they had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, his blood attracted a swarm of Enchanting Bugs from the ground.
The number was overwhelming, dense and numerous.
Chu Hanlin’s face grew serious as he gripped his sword tightly.
These tiny toxic Enchanting Bugs were not easy to deal with; a single bite could be fatal.
Qing Feng looked at the toxic Enchanting Bugs with a shudder, realizing something was wrong: "Why are the protective arrays set up by the princess ineffective against your toxic Enchanting Bugs?!"
This was still within the palace!
No wonder Qi Hong couldn’t enter and could only block the outside Imperial Guards.
Xuanyuan Che, hearing Qing Feng’s question, smiled with satisfaction.
"Someone has finally noticed..."
He touched the bloodstains on his arm.
"This array can eradicate evil, even demonic creatures. I knew this, so I carefully selected these Enchanting Bugs. They are not demonic creatures, and not truly toxic Enchanting Bugs, so the array is naturally ineffective against them!"
Only he knew how many times he had tested this.
The toxicity was just right, enough to kill without being destroyed by the array.
Qing Feng urgently said, "You are at the end of your rope. Why fight to the death? Wouldn’t it be better to keep your life and return to see your sister? Don’t you miss her?"
Xuanyuan Che looked dazed.
Of course, he missed his sister, wishing to reunite with her immediately.
But...
His gaze firmed: "If I return like this having failed my mission, my sister and I will both be doomed."
"As long as news of the Mu Nation court’s severe damage reaches Border Nation, the ruler will remember my achievements and treat my sister favorably."
So, today, he had to be ruthless!
Use the blood of Mu Nation’s officials to secure a better life for his sister!
"Kill them all, leave no one alive!"
"Especially those from the Chu family; they must die!"
Without hesitation, Xuanyuan Che coldly commanded.
Hundreds of toxic Enchanting Bugs took flight, their buzzing sound ear-splitting and chilling.
The toxic Enchanting Bugs targeted the Chu family members at the front.
Coincidentally, Qi Mu was at the front too.
Having exhausted her internal strength, she was immobile but still shouted, "Hey! I’m not a Chu family member, I’m just passing through!"
So, please don’t bite her.
Xuanyuan Che loathed her the most for breaking the array, allowing Qing Feng and Chu Yan to team up and kill Ye Chengyan!
He continued, "I’ll send you off first!"
The swarm of toxic Enchanting Bugs surged toward her.
Qi Mu cursed herself internally, regretting meddling, as she stepped into the gates of death once more.
"Miss Qi!" Chu Huan rushed over.
Qi Mu blinked in surprise.
This pretty boy seemed weak but was reliable in a crisis.
However, Chu Huan had no way to deal with the toxic Enchanting Bugs.
He used his body to block them.
Qi Mu’s lips twitched: "Are you stupid? Better one person die than two." freēnovelkiss.com
"You’re helping the Chu family and Mu Nation, how can I abandon you," Chu Huan said earnestly.
Qi Mu, moved, used her last bit of strength to pass the Heaven-Shocking Blade to him.
"Take this!"
At least he could use it to protect himself.
"Third Brother!"
Meanwhile, Chu Hanlin and his sons charged forward, clearing a path through the toxic Enchanting Bugs.
But these tiny bugs flew fast, making them difficult to exterminate.
Fortunately, Chu Huan had Fire Talismans, but his skills were only sufficient for defense.
Qi Mu, seeing this, was excited. "Is there more? I’d like to try too."
It turned out the young scholar was not useless after all.
Oh, wait, this talisman was probably given by the Ninth Princess, so what does it have to do with him?
But when Chu Huan met her burning gaze, he bit his lip and handed her a Fire Talisman, teaching her the spell: "You recite, ’Endless Heaven and Earth, borrow the laws of the universe.’"
"Got it," Qi Mu said eagerly, tossing the Fire Talisman while reciting the spell.
As soon as she used it, the Fire Talisman transformed into a small fire dragon that incinerated all surrounding toxic Enchanting Bugs.
Qi Mu tugged on Chu Huan’s sleeve, delighted. "See? You’re wasting it; it should be used by me!"
"..." He saw clearly.
It was indeed true that a scholar is useless in every respect...
The Chu family was proving very difficult to attack.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Che had to temporarily spare the Chu family and ordered the toxic Enchanting Bugs to kill the Mu Nation officials.
The toxic Enchanting Bugs swarmed toward Elder Cao and the others.
Elder Cao, usually fearless, was terrified by these tiny bugs, especially when gathered in such numbers.
Others had fled. His head spun, and he was paralyzed, unable to move.
He cried out, "Heavenly Father, whoever can kill these bugs, I’ll call them ’Father!’"
Before he could finish, a cluster of golden light appeared overhead.
The golden light quickly formed an array that rotated slowly.
Was it a Transfer Talisman array?
But no one descended.
Instead, a group of small creatures appeared in the array, fluttering their wings and buzzing loudly.
They seemed to receive some kind of command and flew straight at them.
Some sharp-eyed individuals recognized them.
"It’s Evil Bee! The Eight Paws Evil Bee from Border Nation!"
Upon hearing this, everyone panicked even more.
They remembered the viciousness of the Evil Bees and were still vividly haunted by it.
They had thought the palace’s protective array would kill them, but the Evil Bees remained unharmed.
"Evil Bee? The ruler is coming?" Xuanyuan Che was both shocked and delighted.
He did not expect the new ruler to be so formidable, allowing the Evil Bees to bypass the array’s defenses.
Though the Evil Bees were few, their presence alone, with their species’ bloodline suppression, made the toxic Enchanting Bugs dare not advance an inch.
Elder Cao’s devout prayers were answered not by a savior but by even more ferocious insects. He felt faint and collapsed.
The Evil Bees intimidated Xuanyuan Che’s toxic Enchanting Bugs. Although he did not know the ruler’s intentions, he, along with several witches, knelt toward the array.
They prostrated on the ground, speaking in unison with reverence: "Welcome, ruler, long live the ruler!"
Someone descended from the array.
The light had not yet faded, obscuring their appearance.
The Chu family’s hearts sank.
Nanli had gone to Border Nation; the ruler--Xuanyuan Fu--was supposed to confront them. How had Xuanyuan Fu arrived at Mu Nation?
Could it be that the sixth sister is in trouble?!
