Chapter 876 The Unusual Movements in the Pool of Various Venomous Insects
Although Baisu was full of doubts, she still worked as a female cook for the whole day under Lin Mengya’s arrangement.
When the evening came, Lin Mengya saw Baisu, who smelled of grease and smoke and looked at her plaintively. Lin Mengya could not help but smile and let Baisu take a bath and put on clean clothes.
She continued to lean against the window and looked in the direction of the back mountain.
There was a faint fragrance of flowers wafting through the air.
But Lin Mengya was more interested in the things that were gradually mixed in the air with the burning smoke.
After a night of spreading, some things should have been attracted to this place.
She really couldn’t wait to see those little cuties.
“You little girl, you’re always so mysterious.”
Qinghu leaned against the window with an idle smile on his face, looking at Lin Mengya who was smiling lightly in front of him.
“No matter how mysterious I am, I am not as mysterious as you are. Have you solved the disputes between you and the Candle Dragon Cult?”
Holding her chin with one hand, Lin Mengya looked at Qinghu curiously with her bright eyes.
Her uncle had told her that Qinghu’s status in the Candle Dragon Cult was not ordinary.
But in the past few years, the Candle Dragon Cult had become the maggots in the torso, completely entangled in her life.
Qinghu had already left her once. She would never allow such a thing to happen again.
Under the bright moonlight, Qinghu lowered his head and looked at her smiling face.
He stretched out his hand and gently brushed a strand of hair on her cheek.
“I’ve already dealt with them. Those people won’t be a threat to us anymore.”
He greedily looked at Lin Mengya’s pretty face. No matter how beautiful the moon was, it could not compare with the girl in front of him.
“That’s good. How are Baiji and the others? Moyan must have grown up a lot. Could Snow and the baby tiger still recognize me?”
Lin Mengya’s eyes were a little dazed. It was said that when people were close to home, they would be timid.
But even before she set foot on the road home, she felt some unspeakable complicated feelings welling up in her heart.
Probably because she was used to being strong, she was at a loss when she saw her weakness.
“They are all right. You don’t have to worry. Zhu Yan has brought them back, so don’t worry. They are very energetic. Your father and elder brother will come back safe and sound sooner or later.”
Looking at Qinghu’s gentle eyes, Lin Mengya smiled and lowered her eyes.
The person in front of her was probably the one who knew her best in the world.
He knew why she went back this time.
“I also think they will come back safely. If they don’t, I will make those who hurt them regret coming to this world.”
Her voice was soft and elegant, but what she said made people feel chilling.
Qinghu didn’t know whether he should be happy or worried when he saw such a Lin Mengya with resolute determination.
He hoped that after everything was done, she would still be the bright and beautiful girl she used to be.
“Little girl, promise me one thing.”
Lin Mengya raised her eyes but found that Qinghu had bent down somehow.
She looked straight into his slender foxlike eyes where the wariness to others had long since gone. He trusted her with all his heart.
“No matter what happens, don’t give up your true heart.”
In the past, he had been heartless.
Even though he fought with swords every day, he was no more than a walking dead.
It was her who gave him the heart to feel pain, smile, joy, and anger.
Therefore, even if he gave up everything, he would protect her true heart.
Lin Mengya was stunned for a moment. She did not fully understand what Qinghu meant.
She lowered her head, thought for a while, and nodded gently.
“I think I will. I still have people and things that I am deeply concerned about in this world. I am destined to not be able to cultivate the adamantine and indestructible body.”
Lin Mengya’s smile became more and more gentle. The so-called heartless person must have cut off his relationship with the people who he cared about in the mortal world.
It might not necessarily be a bad thing to have weaknesses. At least, she could live like a normal person, not like a huge iceberg, devoid of desires.
“You little girl, sometimes I even think that there’s a monster living in your little head. How can you, a little girl in your teens, think so thoroughly when others can’t think through it for their whole lives?”
He stretched out his slender fingers and gently poked Lin Mengya’s delicate forehead.
“Who says that I just live one lifetime? I, who is standing in front of you, have lived one more lifetime than you.”
She told Qinghu her biggest secret as if she was joking.
Anyway, what she got would definitely be a contemptuous look.
Of course, who would believe such an incredible thing?
Leaning against the window, Lin Mengya gave a small yawn.
As she smelled the fragrant scent of flowers in the courtyard, she leaned against the window and slowly fell asleep.
“Little girl? Little girl?”
Qinghu called her gently and looked helplessly at her in front of him. She was defenseless and Qinghu looked depressed.
“Alas, I really don’t know whether this girl is too careless or she trusts me too much.”
He was afraid that there would be no one else other than him who could remain calm in the face of this in this world.
With a sigh, he went into the room, picked her up, and stuffed her into the quilt.
Ever since she and Long Tianyu had fallen in love with each other, they seemed to have rarely been so intimate.
“I hope you can be so safe and sound for all your life.”
Qinghu touched her little face and put down the curtain.
Baisu hadn’t come back yet. He might as well wait here for a while and guard her by the way.
The moon was in the middle of the sky and Lin Mengya seemed to have foresight.
When all the people in the mansion of Xin Family were asleep, she woke up quietly.
Outside the curtain, Baisu and Qinghu were staying on different sides, one on the left and the other on the right. One of them was leaning against the couch, and the other was sitting under the candle light.
They were like two great gods who firmly guarded her safety.
“Why haven’t you gone to rest yet?”
Lin Mengya lifted the curtain and leaned against the bed casually, looking at the two people.
“Didn’t you hear that?”
Qinghu lifted the corner of his mouth and gave Lin Mengya an annoying smile. He was obviously saying that Lin Mengya was pretending not to understand.
She shrugged her shoulders. Alright, she admitted that she was woken up by those unusual movements.
But the only place that should not be worried about seemed to be her place.
“Such a big commotion should have alerted quite a few people apart from me.”
The smell of the herbs spread very fast after being burned.
It was indeed within Lin Mengya’s expectation that there would be an unusual commotion now.
“Go and spread this thing in front of and behind the house. We three will squeeze in this room today. Let’s talk about it tomorrow morning.”
Lin Mengya drew out a small purse from the pillow and handed it to Baisu.
Baisu nodded and went out to spread the medicine silently.
“The sound should come from the back of the mountain. What are you playing at, you little girl?”
Qinghu raised his eyebrows and looked at his little girl calmly.
It was the second day since she came here. How could she always play different tricks?
“It’s nothing. I’m just inviting some cuties to be my guests. By the way, you two should wear this sachet tomorrow morning. Otherwise, you’re not allowed to go out.”
Two sachets flew into Qinghu’s arms. There was nothing special about them, and they could be bought on the street at will.
But what was inside seemed not to be some sweet herbs because they had a faintly medicinal aroma.
“Hey, hey, then is it really a good thing for us to be in the same room together tonight? Oops, you’re so enthusiastic, and it’s too much for me.”
A wicked smile appeared on Qinghu’s face, but Lin Mengya just glanced at him coldly, and then a weighty porcelain pillow suddenly attacked his face from behind the curtain.
“Gonna sleep on the floor, or I’ll break your hands and feet!”
He looked at his little girl helplessly. He couldn’t even joke with her. The older she grew up, the more horrible she became.
“Don’t be angry. Alas, why is my life so miserable?”
Lin Mengya turned over with a smile on her face.
She knew that Qinghu was trying to ease the tense atmosphere, but she had already heard and smelt the overwhelming unusual movements in the air.
“Just see how the patriarch of the Xin Family will react tomorrow.”
This night, in addition to the courtyard where Lin Mengya lived and the main house of Wanyan Yu, the other places of the Xin Family were covered with venomous insects.
Apart from poisonous insects like scorpions and centipedes, there were at least a hundred types of venomous insects.
Every single one of them was extremely rare. They were nowhere to be found in daily life, let alone the fact that they would appear in groups.
The venomous insects were usually raised by people in various ways.
But there was only one place where the venomous insects could reproduce on their own.
And that place was the forbidden area of the back mountain, the Pool of Various Venomous Insects.
When Lin Mengya arrived at the front yard of the Xin Family’s mansion, she saw a layer of black venomous insects stretching out from the yard.
They carefully avoided the venomous insects, or it should be said that these venomous insects had quietly avoided them before they came.
It was a very difficult journey to the noisiest place of the mansion.
These venomous insects and poisonous insects filled almost every corner of the Xin Family.
They even reached Lin Mengya’s courtyard. But there was only one place where there were no venomous insects.
When Lin Mengya looked at the closed door of the courtyard and everyone’s hesitant expressions, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly without being seen by anyone.
“Very good, things go extremely well.”
“What… what’s going on?”
Xin Mu, who had not yet recovered from the fact that the prince was nearly ambushed, was stunned and looked at everything in front of him.
“Aren’t they… aren’t they the treasures in the Pool of Various Venomous Insects?
“Why do they sneak into the Xin Family’s house today?”
“Reporting to the patriarch, there were unusual movements in the Pool of Various Venomous Insects last night. The elders in charge of guarding it were all trapped. Now the whole mansion is full of these things, but… only that girl’s small courtyard has no one. And these venomous insects seem to be gathering here.”
Those who could come out to check the situation were people of means.
Otherwise, these venomous insects and poisonous insects would scare people out of their minds.
But even so, they didn’t dare to take it lightly.
