105: I have an opinion too!

“?”

“?????”

“When I type question marks, it’s not that I have a problem, it’s that *you* have a problem!”

“Do you even know what you’re saying?”

“Clearly, you, Xu Xi, knew Xie Qingzhou first, right? From your tone, you also know what’s going on with Xie Qingzhou’s junior brother. Yet, you had a solution and didn’t use it earlier? What are you playing at?”

Small heads, big questions—this was the scene for Liu Xingwen and his three companions.

Of course, the most confused of all had to be Xie Qingzhou.

Xie Qingzhou’s thoughts mirrored Liu Xingwen’s confusion exactly. He couldn’t understand why Xu Xi, who could cure Ye Gou’s insanity worm, hadn’t acted sooner and waited until now.

“Cough, cough~”

“Stop staring, there’s nothing on my face. What kind of looks are those? You make it seem like I’m a jilted lover. If you were women, I might even accept it…”

Covering his mouth with a dry cough, Xu Xi knew his words were a bit awkward, but he still forced himself to continue.

“I can indeed cure the insanity worm, completely and thoroughly. However, once it’s done, I worry that Brother Xie, you’ll try to kill me…”

After speaking, Xu Xi produced a transparent container holding the mother worm, and the scene instantly became awkward.

“?”

“No, bro, are you messing with me?”

“So, after all this, the insanity worm on my junior brother was placed by *you*?”

“You’ve been going in circles for so long, don’t tell me you forgot what the insanity worm you placed looks like?”

Xie Qingzhou looked at Xu Xi with a questioning gaze. If his eyesight weren’t enough, he would have loved to ask Xu Xi what exactly was inside his head.

Who reveals their own base like that?! Isn’t this just forcing Xie Qingzhou to attack Xu Xi… “Ding, Roufu’s favorability -60.”

“Ding, detected a sharp decrease in target’s favorability, no longer meeting system standards. Awarding host a special item—Eternal Chains.”

“Description: After use, the target’s favorability will be locked, unable to decrease, and simultaneously unable to increase.”

Misfortunes never come singly. Clearly, Xie Qingzhou wasn’t the only one filled with questions. The quiet Roufu was equally incredulous, her favorability plummeting, directly sending Xu Xi back to square one.

“Cough, cough~”

“I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t rush. Let me… excuse me! Let me explain, I have a reason.”

Waving his hands frantically to indicate that Xie Qingzhou was mistaken, Xu Xi was externally alarmed by Roufu’s rapidly decreasing favorability. So all the food he’d given Roufu before was for nothing… In his hurried explanation, Xu Xi was afraid that if he spoke too slowly, Xie Qingzhou would directly attack him. So he quickly continued:

“This mother worm isn’t mine. I obtained it from Liu Xuanfeng of the Xiaoyao Sect. Before, Elder Tang and I were targeted by Liu Xuanfeng quite a bit, and I found it in his storage bag after I killed him.”

Although his words weren’t highly credible, Xu Xi himself felt it was a bit outlandish. More importantly, everyone present knew who Liu Xuanfeng was!

Upon arriving at the Juefeng Secret Realm, one would naturally familiarize themselves with the situation in Youzhou. As a Grand Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect, Liu Xuanfeng was a powerful figure in Youzhou, second only to one person and above thousands. Xie Qingzhou was no stranger to Liu Xuanfeng’s name.

“Do I look like an idiot to you?”

With a look as if he were staring at an imbecile, Xie Qingzhou had already placed his jade flute to his lips, ready to play at any moment and initiate a battle.

“Brother Yi, please help…”

Finally, he lowered the jade flute, having wrestled with his thoughts for a long time.

Perhaps it was due to their time together, or perhaps because Xie Qingzhou, skilled in playing the jade flute, could perceive people's hearts, but Xie Qingzhou still chose to trust Xu Xi.

Because there was no better way at the moment, Xu Xi was the most hopeful person to save Ye Gou in a short time.

“Understood. Watch me act.”

“Roufu, place Ye Gou’s body on the ground and move away from him.”

Seeing that Xie Qingzhou finally remained silent, Xu Xi breathed a sigh of relief. He truly didn’t want to come to blows with Xie Qingzhou; it wasn’t worth it.

Then, telling Roufu to move away, Xu Xi knew a struggle was about to begin.

“Ding, Roufu’s favorability +70.”

A surge in favorability, Xu Xi’s actions once again won Roufu’s heart.

This wave, he could only say, was not a loss. Not only did he recover the lost favorability, but he also gained an additional 10 points.

Most importantly, he got a free item from the damn system—the Eternal Chains!

“Don’t disappoint me, devour it!”

As spiritual energy was transmitted, activating the mother worm inside the container, Xu Xi could clearly sense the child worm within Ye Gou’s body going berserk, as if it wanted to devour everything, including Ye Gou’s body, and even the mother worm and the other child worm in the container.

“Hmph!”

“It really is aggressive. Could it be a mutated and evolved insanity worm? Its desire to devour is truly strong. Not only does it want to devour its host, but it also dares to provoke its own leader.”

Filled with emotion, Xu Xi no longer hesitated. After infusing spiritual energy, he controlled the mother worm to crawl out of the container and quickly approach Ye Gou’s body.

“Swoosh!”

Before the mother worm controlled by Xu Xi could climb onto Ye Gou’s body, the child worm actually broke through Ye Gou’s flesh, splattering blood, and directly charged at the mother worm controlled by Xu Xi, then began to fight.

The duel between the two insanity worms was simple: continuously tearing at each other’s bodies.

You bite my sharp legs, I bite your sharp wings. As long as one side completely devours the other’s body first, it’s over.

Afterward, it could use the devoured body to hatch a new body and complete its own evolution. This was the law of the jungle among insanity worms, a pure, bloody contest.

However, if the mother worm wasn’t controlled, the situation would be hard to say. After all, although the insanity worm inside Ye Gou was a child worm, it had undergone one evolution due to the Right Prime Minister, so it wouldn’t be much weaker than the mother worm. The outcome would be unknown.

But, with Xu Xi, the controller of the mother worm, how could he let the two insanity worms duel in the most primitive way?

Xu Xi wasn’t trying to pick the strongest one from the insanity worms; he didn’t raise insanity worms. He was just a carrier for them… As the master, of course I have to interfere with your duel. You must obey your master’s commands~

Under the infusion of spiritual energy, the mother worm, following Xu Xi’s thoughts, directly darted from beside Ye Gou’s body into the transparent container.

And the child worm, as if it had lost its head, actually followed the mother worm’s steps, and with a “swoosh,” it also flew into the container.

“Click…”

Seeing this, Xu Xi immediately sealed the container, controlling the two insanity worms inside to begin encircling and attacking the other insanity worm.

Two against one, a group beating, that’s the correct way to fight!
