After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Chapter 250 The Holy Son Was Actually Beside Me

Jun Lanjin's gaze fell on the hand that was covering his own, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he chuckled softly, "So you do know."

He pulled his hand away from Xie Xing's and said lazily, "Then, I hope Miss Xie will take good care of me these days."

Xie Xing also returned a bright smile:

"That is natural, Your Majesty."

Doesn't he realize how terrible his acting is?

Upon hearing this heartfelt sentiment, Jun Lanjin's gaze sharpened.

His gaze fell on Xie Xing. The girl in front of him had a bright smile, just like before when there was no man around. But after that one heartfelt word, there was silence.

What kind of acting skills?

What did she find?

Jun Lanjin immediately felt a little uncomfortable. He stared at Xie Xing's face for a long time, trying to see if there was any unnaturalness on her face.

Xie Xing met his eyes, stared at him for a while, then tilted his head and leaned closer to him.

The two were only a fist's distance apart. Xie Xing suddenly moved closer, causing Jun Lanjin to be momentarily dazed and instinctively want to step back.

"My Lord, are you looking at me?"

"Could it be that she's taken a liking to me?"

Xie Xing's voice was crisp and clear, with a touch of sweet and soft tone, reaching Jun Lanjin's ears.

When he met her smiling eyes, Jun Lanjin's heart skipped a beat.

But he quickly recovered, his lips curving into a smile. Speechless, he used one finger to push Xie Xing away from his forehead. "Little girl, don't you have even a shred of shame?"

Xie Xingling rolled her eyes, then sat back down and said with a grin, "As for a sense of shame, of course I do."

The two did not stay in the teahouse for long.

After returning to the general's mansion.

Xie Xing then called Qi Yi over.

Qi Yi lived in Xie Xing's side courtyard, separated by a courtyard wall.

Since Xie Xing bought the slave, it was impossible for him to be transferred to another courtyard. However, a young lady from a noble family could not be accompanied by male relatives all the time, as it would be an insult to her reputation. Therefore, Qi Yi could not often step into Xie Xing's courtyard.

Xie Xing will be entering the palace tomorrow, so Qi Yi naturally cannot come along.

"You're also from Miao territory. Have you ever heard of the Hundred Poison Gu?"

At that time, Xie Xing was sitting in the courtyard. When he saw Qi Yi coming over, he immediately asked.

Qi Yi's eyes were clear, and he nodded after hearing this: "The Hundred Poison Gu is a Gu worm that can only be refined in my Miao region. It can be considered the king of all Gu. It is usually refined by the holy son of the clan, and only one Hundred Poison Gu can be produced in a hundred years."

"Is it that difficult?" Xie Xing frowned.

It is known that the only ways to save Jun Lanjin are the Hundred Poison Gu and the White Lotus, both of which are rare items in the story.

She cannot use the Hundred Poison Gu to save Jun Lanjin yet, otherwise it would disrupt the plot.

Then there's only one path left: the White Lotus.

Xie Xing frowned.

"Miss, do you need the Hundred Poison Gu?" Qi Yi asked in an extremely ordinary tone, "I can make it."

what? !

Xie Xing was worrying when she heard this and almost fell off the stool. She looked up and stared at Qi Yi in astonishment.

"You can create Gu worms?"

Look what she heard.

What a coincidence!

Qi Yi nodded and said, "I am the Holy Son of Miao Jiang. To create the Hundred Poison Gu, one must be a boy born in an unlucky year, month, and hour. He must be fed with his heart's blood from a young age. After the Gu is created, the Holy Son will not live for long."

Xie Xing was even more surprised, "You are the Holy Son of Miao Jiang?"

The system was also utterly astonished: [What? He's the Holy Son of Miao Jiang?]

[Seriously? Does the Miao holy son in the story look like this?]

[It can't be that small, can it?]

Qi Yi nodded again.

"My brother and I are twins, born in the same year, month and hour of the Yin year. My brother was born before me."

“Twins are considered unlucky in Miao territory. The older twin can bring good fortune to the tribe, while I should have been banished from the tribe and left to fend for myself.”

Xie Xing never expected that there would be such a background.

She looked at Qi Yi.

Qi Yi lowered his eyes and said, "But my mother felt sorry for me and couldn't bear to see me suffer such cruel treatment at such a young age, so she secretly raised me and taught me Miao Gu techniques."

"Of course, there is also a method to cultivate the King of All Poisons."

"Then how did you end up here, and then get kidnapped and sold into slavery?"

Qi Yi said, "Because my brother discovered my existence, he couldn't tolerate my existence, so he secretly kidnapped me and sold me here, far away from Miao territory."

"So, your brother is the holy son of Miao territory, and you were the one who was exiled?"

Qi Yi said, "Anyone who can create Gu worms is called a Holy Son."

This time it was an accident.

In other words, is it possible to have two Hundred Poison Gu now?

It is really another village with hidden flowers and bright flowers.

Xie Xing's eyes brightened slightly, and he was about to speak when he remembered what Qi Yi had just said: after cultivating the Hundred Poison Gu, the Holy Son would not live for long.

She then asked, "Are you raising this Hundred Poison Gu now?"

Qi Yi raised his chin slightly, a smile on his face, and said, "It will take three more years for the Gu to be completed."

Xie Xing frowned and said, "But if that's the case, once the Gu is complete, your lifespan will also be coming to an end?"

Qi Yi shook his head. "The Hundred Poison Gu can prolong life. Once the Gu is formed, as long as the Gu is on the body, it can extend life and prevent one from being harmed by any poison."

Xie Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

That's alright.

Qi Yi changed the subject, "Miss, I have already made a deal with that prince."

Xie Xing was surprised. There was another deal?

"As long as that prince can hold on for three years, once I have completed the Gu, I can give it to him and save his life."

Xie Xing's eyes widened. "Why would you make such a deal with him?"

Qi Yi looked at Xie Xing with a puzzled expression, "Miss, don't you like that prince and don't want him to die?"

"I will do whatever Miss wants to do."

Xie Xing: "..."

That being said, she did not want to save Jun Lanjin's life in this way.

"So what did you offer in exchange that he agreed to?"

Qi Yi readily agreed, "I'll have him give me everything the young lady gave him."

"What?" Xie Xing wondered if he had misheard.

Qi Yi repeated, "I asked him to give me all the things that Miss gave him last time, but he didn't agree."

Xie Xing felt like she was hearing a foreign language, not Mandarin.

System: […Is this kid a bit dim-witted?]

Why did Jun Lanjin disagree?

Xie Xing was even more speechless, [because he simply couldn't last three years.]

"Why would you do this?" Xie Xing found it unbelievable.

Qi Yi said, "Because Miss won't make it for me, but I want it."

"If you want it, why don't you ask?"

Qi Yi looked even more innocent. "Does asking guarantee a result?"

Xie Xing settled in Bengbu.

Because even if you ask, there's no guarantee you'll get it.

Making these clay sculptures is simple, but it takes a lot of thought and effort.
