212: You are so brave

While Qin Shilei was beating Xu Junchu, Xu Hongyu walked to her companion and released a Gu worm, intending to heal her.

However, the Gu worm poison she herself was afflicted with had not yet been cured, and with her strength diminished, how could she cure her companion's Gu worm poison?

"It's useless. This is the latest Gu worm poison I've cultivated. You can't cure it. If you want to save them, you'd better let me go."

Xu Junchu, who had been knocked down by Qin Shilei again, grinned and said.

But just as he finished speaking, he saw Qin Shilei walking towards him with the Blood Soul in his hand, full of killing intent.

Xu Junchu's heart trembled, and he quickly turned his head to the group of women and said, "It's not that I want to kill you; it's this man who won't let me go, which is why I was forced to resort to this desperate measure. If you want to live, beg him for mercy."

Upon hearing this, the women endured the severe pain in their stomachs, looked up at Qin Shilei, and pleaded for mercy, saying, "Big Brother, please spare him. We don't want to die."

A large group of young girls, looking pitifully, begged a single person. Any ordinary man would soften and agree.

"Didn't I tell you? I hate being threatened by others the most."

Qin Shilei sneered as he walked to Xu Junchu, bent down, picked him up, and started beating him with his bare hands.

Soon, he had beaten him until he was black and blue, and in a sorry state.

The women, seeing that Qin Shilei seemed to really intend to beat Xu Junchu to death, immediately panicked and shouted loudly.

"Great Hero, can you let him cure us first before beating him? If you keep beating him, we'll have to be buried with him."

Furthermore, a woman in her thirties struggled to crawl over, cursing as she crawled, "You are so cruel! For your own anger, you're going to make all of us be buried with him."

"If you have no ability, why pretend to be a hero? You're just a murderer. Even if I die, I'll curse your whole family to hell."

All sorts of national curses continuously spewed from the woman's mouth.

Suddenly, her voice abruptly stopped.

A silver whip flashed, and the woman's head flew into the air.

Kong Qingshu said with a face full of frost, "Watch your mouth, or I'll send her to hell right now."

The crying and shouting at the scene immediately stopped, and all the women looked at Kong Qingshu with fear.

Xu Junchu, whose face was beaten into a pig's head, said with a lisp, "Just kill me. With so many people to be buried with me, it's worth it."

Even now, he still thought that Qin Shilei wanted him to save those girls, which was why he hadn't killed him with a single sword stroke.

"Is that so?" Qin Shilei said calmly, "You want them to be buried with you, but I won't let you have your way."

Xu Junchu's heart filled with joy, thinking he was saved.

He looked up at Qin Shilei, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly noticed that the other party's eyes had turned a bewitching purple.

Then he felt his eyes blurring, and then he lost consciousness.

"Go cure their poison," Qin Shilei commanded Xu Junchu, who was under his control.

"Yes." Xu Junchu, like a puppet, crawled up from the ground, walked in front of the girls, and murmured softly.

Soon, a group of small insects crawled out of the women's mouths.

After vomiting again, the girls felt that the severe pain in their stomachs had disappeared.

"Big Brother, can you ask him to cure my poison too?"

Xu Hongyu walked up to Qin Shilei and very obediently requested.

"Of course, you can." Kong Qingshu immediately stood between the two, interjecting.

"The other party is just a little girl. Is it necessary to be so wary of me?"

Qin Shilei secretly complained, and at the same time, he commanded Xu Junchu again to cure Xu Hongyu's poison.

Then he spoke again, asking Xu Junchu, "Do you possess the Holy Spirit Gu?"

Xu Junchu replied, "No."

Xu Hongyu, standing nearby, hesitated to speak but finally asked, "Big Brother, what are you looking for the Holy Spirit Gu for?"

Qin Shilei suddenly remembered that this little girl also seemed to be from the Xu Family Stronghold, so he explained, "My pet is injured, and I want to find someone with the Holy Spirit Gu to help treat it."

"The Holy Spirit Gu is one of the three most powerful Gu worms in the Gu Insect Scripture. Before the apocalypse, no one in our Xu Family Stronghold successfully cultivated it."

Xu Hongyu paused and then said, "Big Brother, why don't you release your pet, and I'll try to treat it?"

Qin Shilei's eyes lit up, and he casually released Xiao Qiang.

Xu Hongyu extended her palm, and a golden Gu worm, like a silkworm, suddenly appeared in her palm.

"Golden Silkworm Gu?" Xu Jun asked with a surprised look, "How do you have the Golden Silkworm Gu?"

Xu Hongyu looked at Xu Jun, then at Qin Shilei, who was also curious, and replied, "The Great Elder is my grandfather, and I am also the next generation's Saintess, specially permitted to cultivate the Golden Silkworm Gu."

Qin Shilei asked somewhat eagerly, "Then do you know how to cultivate the Holy Spirit Gu?"

"The patriarch only showed me the cultivation method for the Golden Silkworm Gu."

Xu Hongyu replied while treating Xiao Qiang.

After a while, the golden silkworm crawled off Xiao Qiang.

Xu Hongyu shook her head and said, "Although the Golden Silkworm Gu is also one of the three divine Gu, it is not good at healing. Big Brother, I cannot heal your pet."

"It seems I still have to make a trip to the Xu Family Stronghold," Qin Shilei murmured.

"Big Brother, if you're going to the Xu Family Stronghold, can you take me with you?" Xu Hongyu suddenly asked excitedly.

"Taking you isn't impossible, but can you find a way to let me see the Gu Insect Scripture?" Qin Shilei looked at Xu Hongyu like a big bad wolf looking at a lamb.

"This... The Gu Insect Scripture is forbidden to anyone but the patriarch. I'm only permitted to cultivate the Golden Silkworm Gu within it. I'm afraid I can't help you, Big Brother."

Xu Hongyu said with some difficulty.

Just then, Xu Junchu suddenly regained consciousness and blurted out, "Aren't you going to treat your pet? As long as you let me go, I'll have my father pass the Gu Insect Scripture to me. Once I cultivate the Holy Spirit Gu, I'll definitely help you cure your pet."

Qin Shilei said noncommittally, "Let's go to the Xu Family Stronghold first."

Then he turned to Xu Jun and said, "Tie him up with a rope and keep a close eye on him."

"Okay." Xu Jun walked towards Xu Junchu with a smile.

"It's you." Xu Junchu recognized Xu Jun at this moment and said with a look of surprise, "You're still alive?"

"Since neither you nor your father are dead, how could I bear to die?" Xu Jun said with a look of hatred.

"So you're all in this together. You're here for revenge."

Xu Junchu suddenly realized.

Seeing Qin Shilei's inquiring gaze, Xu Jun quickly explained, "City Lord, I sincerely suggested coming to the Xu Family Stronghold to treat your pet."

"Even if I seek revenge, I will only consider it after I've finished your business, City Lord."

Then he briefly recounted his grievances with the Xu Family Stronghold patriarch, hoping to gain Qin Shilei's sympathy.

It turned out that eight years ago, the patriarch's son, Xu Shen, took a liking to Xu Jun's beautiful wife.

Xu Shen and his father, while Xu Jun was away, defiled his wife.

Xu Jun went to fight them desperately but was nearly beaten to death.

After escaping, for these past eight years, he had constantly thought about seeking revenge against Xu Junchu and his father.

"Hmph!" Qin Shilei glanced at Xu Jun and snorted, "Daring to scheme against me, you're truly bold."
