114: My older brother helped me detoxify.

Gu Yin blinked, her gaze shifting back and forth between the dagger and Cao Bu, her hand gripping the hilt trembling uncontrollably.

In the end, she slowly loosened her grip.

The dagger hit the ground with a "clang," sounding exceptionally clear in the silent cave.

Yesterday's events were partly due to her own inability to resist.

Plus, Cao Bu had watched her grow up since childhood; their bond was extraordinary, and she could not bring herself to strike him no matter what.

Seeing this, a trace of a smile flashed in Cao Bu's eyes, and he said softly: "Little Sister Yin, no matter what, it has already happened; there is no point in dwelling on right or wrong."

"If you don't mind Big Brother, Big Brother is willing to take full responsibility for you."

"Even if Adoptive Mother doesn't agree, I will kneel and beg her until she does."

These words were like a warm current, instantly breaking down the emotions Gu Yin had been suppressing.

Her eyes turned red, and she threw herself into Cao Bu's arms, the long-repressed grievances turning into sobs: "Big Brother, wuwuwu..."

Cao Bu held her tightly, patting her back and soothing her softly: "Don't worry, Big Brother keeps his word; I will never treat you poorly."

"It's just... I cannot abandon Xiao Yu and First Smoke; they are also my women, and I hope you can be understanding about this."

"Of course, if you really mind, just pretend Big Brother didn't say it. Once Adoptive Mother comes out of seclusion, you can report it truthfully, and I will accept whatever punishment Adoptive Mother decides."

Gu Yin buried herself in his arms, her crying actually getting louder.

However, she had no intention of pushing him away at all.

At this point, she had long since run out of other choices.

Besides following Cao Bu, she didn't know where else she could go.

【Ding! Detected that Gu Yin's favorability towards the Host has greatly increased, inheritance degree increased by 1%.】

【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a lottery chance.】

Not far away, Yun Shang watched this tender scene, her expression becoming increasingly complex.

Gu Yin's matter was at least settled, but her own situation remained awkward and uneasy.

Just then, a thought suddenly flashed into Yun Shang's mind.

Her toxin was already cleared, but Gu Feng's toxin was not.

If Gu Feng had also defiled someone last night, wouldn't they be even?

That way, neither would have the right to blame the other.

Just then, an imperceptible black shadow slipped into Cao Bu's body.

Immediately after, Ye Linglong's voice rang directly in his mind, carrying a hint of mockery and shock: "Cao Bu, let me tell you a perverted piece of news: Gu Feng actually bullied a Yao Beast!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Bu's expression instantly became incredibly colorful. Suppressing his surprise, he asked: "Is it what I think it is?"

"Correct." Ye Linglong's voice carried a hint of schadenfreude: "When I was hunting him halfway, the toxins in his body could no longer be suppressed. He wanted to come at me, but I knocked him away with one move."

"I didn't expect that he would instantly lose his mind and find a female Yao Beast to take action on."

"Do you want to go take a look? I estimate it hasn't ended yet."

Cao Bu frowned slightly and changed the subject: "Even you can't kill him?"

"I can't kill him." Ye Linglong's voice became more serious: "He has a layer of protective Restriction on him; even if I used the thousand illusions exquisite pagoda, I couldn't blast through that barrier."

"But once I have a Breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm, I should be able to kill him."

Cao Bu's face sank instantly.

This Gu Qingtian really spares no effort for his two sons.

Both of them have protective Restrictions inside their bodies that even a Great Emperor cannot break.

Gu Yun was even given a supreme dao emperor weapon as a trump card.

His gaze inadvertently swept over Yun Shang, and a plan formed in his heart.

If Yun Shang saw Gu Feng bullying a Yao Beast with her own eyes, would she break ties with Gu Feng completely?

Immediately, Cao Bu released Gu Yin from his arms, stood up, and said slowly: "Everyone, first force out the remaining toxins in your bodies, then we will go find Brother Feng."

"And Adoptive Mother, I don't know how she is doing right now."

Hearing that they were going to find Gu Feng, Yun Shang felt some worry in her heart.

If Gu Feng really relied on willpower to resist the Desire Toxin, then her previous calculations would all fall through.

However, thinking about it again, Gu Feng couldn't even hold on in the illusion, so it was even more impossible in reality.

Thus, she started to force out the remaining toxins in her body with peace of mind.

Before long, the group walked towards the outside of the cave together.

Following Ye Linglong's guidance, Cao Bu took the women and searched for most of the day before finally seeing Gu Feng.

Gu Feng had now returned to his original appearance.

When the group appeared, they happened to catch him tidying his clothes.

Beside him lay a Yao Beast that hadn't yet transformed into human form, its fur messy and its breath fading.

Gu Feng looked up and saw the group, startled.

He instinctively blocked the Yao Beast behind him, but how could this small action escape the eyes of the group?

Watching this scene, intense disgust instantly welled up in Yun Shang's eyes.

Even if Gu Feng had found another woman, she wouldn't be this disgusted.

But now he actually...

Her stomach churned violently, and she fought back the nausea, sternly questioning: "Gu Feng, how was your toxin cleared?"

Gu Feng squeezed out an ugly smile, his tone stiff: "Yun Shang, don't worry, I didn't do anything to betray you; the toxin was something I resisted using my willpower."

"Resisted using willpower?" Yun Shang sneered, her gaze falling on the dying Yao Beast behind him: "Then what is the explanation for this?"

"It, it..."

Gu Feng's mind was in chaos, and racking his brains, he couldn't come up with an explanation.

"Let me say it for you." Yun Shang said in an icy voice: "Is it because you couldn't control the toxins and ruined it?"

Gu Feng's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly defended himself: "No! Absolutely not!"

"Yun Shang, listen to my explanation, this is just a misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding?" Yun Shang snorted coldly, her eyes full of mockery: "Do you think I would believe that?"

"You couldn't even resist ordinary toxins in the illusion; how could you possibly resist the Desire Toxin based on willpower alone?"

"Do you really think you are Big Brother?"

Gu Feng frowned fiercely, his gaze staring fixedly at Cao Bu.

It's him again!

Will it ever end?

Suddenly.

He seemed to think of something, his expression becoming serious, and he countered: "Yun Shang, how was your toxin cleared?"

A trace of panic flashed on Yun Shang's face, and her voice trembled: "How else could it be cleared? Naturally, by resisting it with willpower."

"Impossible!" Gu Feng retorted without thinking: "If this toxin could be resisted, I would have already resisted it, and I wouldn't have..."

Halfway through his sentence, he abruptly stopped, his eyes full of regret.

Yun Shang's expression instantly darkened: "So, are you admitting it?"

Gu Feng clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white.

Damn it!

How did they find this place?

He took a deep breath and asked again: "You still haven't answered my question, how exactly was your toxin cleared?"

"I already said, it was by resisting it with willpower!" Yun Shang's voice rose a few notches, carrying a hint of feigned toughness.

Gu Feng's gaze swept over the people present, finally fixing on Cao Bu. His eyes became increasingly gloomy, and he suddenly roared: "Yun Shang, is it him? Did Cao Bu help you clear the toxin?!"

Yun Shang shook her head vigorously, her tone lacking its previous firmness: "No! I resisted it myself!"

"You still want to lie to me!" Gu Feng suddenly turned to look at Gu Yin, his voice hysterical: "Fourth Sister! How was your toxin cleared?"

"And your sister-in-law's toxin, was it cleared by Cao Bu?"

"Was it?!"

His eyes were bloodshot, his whole body trembling, and the Qi around him became chaotic.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was true.

Gu Yin lowered her head, twisting the corner of her clothes with her fingers, unable to say a word for a long time.

Seeing her in this state, Gu Feng stumbled back a step, completely collapsing.

Based on his understanding of Gu Yin, silence meant consent!

It was obvious: his woman had been taken by Cao Bu!

"Yun Shang, do you have any conscience towards me?" Gu Feng's eyes were red, his voice filled with unbelievable pain, his Aura leaking out uncontrollably.

Yun Shang, however, kept a cold face: "Gu Feng, we already agreed to divorce long ago."

"What I do is not for you to question!"

"Moreover, have you ever really loved me?"

Gu Feng gritted his teeth, staring fixedly at her, his voice hoarse: "I will ask you one last time, did you really let Cao Bu sleep with you?"

He was still holding onto a last shred of hope, even if it was just self-deception.

Yun Shang pursed her lips. Thinking that they would eventually have to make a clean break after returning, she felt there was no need to hide it any longer and nodded slowly: "Correct, it was Big Brother who helped me clear the toxin."

"But don't misunderstand; it was because my willpower was insufficient, and I took the initiative to defile Big Brother."

"Pfft—"

Hearing these words, Gu Feng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

He stared fixedly at Cao Bu and shouted sharply: "Cao Bu! I want you dead!"
