Hearing the words of the guide, Ye Lengan immediately thought of the Gu worms. If what the guide said was true, then the people in this village were very likely to know how to raise Gu worms. Then three years ago, it was very likely that Zhongyu Yiran had also been here. She might even have been poisoned here.

After Huangfu Ruiling heard these words, he remained very calm, as if he did not notice anything.

However, Ye Lengan knew that he probably had the same guess as her.

Is that so? Ye Lengan smiled and said casually, But the people here are all very sunny and dont seem to be the ones you said!

Indeed, although this village looked simple and quaint and the inside seemed very backward, the people here all had smiles on their faces. It seemed that they were very satisfied with this kind of life.

The guide smiled embarra.s.sedly. Actually, what I said just now was just rumors. Im not very sure what the actual situation is. The people here rarely go out. Usually, they will only interact with outsiders when they come here.

I see! Ye Lengan looked at Huangfu Ruiling and said coquettishly, Brother Ruiling, lets stay here for two days, okay?

That coquettish voice gave people gooseb.u.mps.

Even Ye Lengan almost couldnt stand that. However, there was no other way. They couldnt directly show that they came all the way here to the southern boundaries for the medicinal herbs! Therefore, they disguised themselves as travelers and pretended in front of other people that she and Huangfu Ruiling were family friends, and she was a pampered young lady from an aristocratic family.

Li San and the others couldnt help but s.h.i.+ver when they saw Ye Lengan being affectionate. When they looked at Ye Lengan, their eyes were filled with indescribable emotions.

Huangfu Ruiling, on the other hand, had no change in expression. He just nodded. Since you want to, then we will stay here for a few more days!

Li San immediately stepped forward, took out a wad of money from his pocket, and handed it to the guide. Ill have to trouble you to help me communicate to see if theres any place we can stay. We plan to stay here for a few days. Of course, the price is not a problem.

Though Li San was silent at normal times, after coming to the southern boundaries, he was in charge of almost all external matters.

The guides eyes lit up when he saw the thick stack of bills. After taking the money, he said with a smile, These are all small matters. Ill go and communicate with the old tribe leader of this village immediately.

When he accepted the mission previously, he knew this group of people in front of him was very rich. During this period of time, he was even more certain of this idea. Unexpectedly, he was really lucky this time. After completing this mission, he could almost earn the money he earned in the previous whole year.

After the guide left, Ye Lengan came to Huangfu Ruilings side. She bent down and whispered in Huangfu Ruilings ear, No matter what I do later, dont resist. Do you understand?

Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Lengan in surprise, but he didnt ask anything. Instead, he nodded to show that he understood. Then, he felt something covering his body. That feeling disappeared in an instant. If he hadnt been paying attention, he might have missed such a change.

However, he remained silent. Even the expression on his face did not change, as if he did not feel anything.

Ye Lengan raised her eyebrows. She knew that Huangfu Ruiling was suspicious. However, she had no choice. This village was not ordinary. The people inside might have raised Gu worms. Huangfu Ruilings murderous aura was so strong that even poisonous creatures did not dare to approach them, let alone the Gu worms!

Gu worms survived after fighting with other poisonous creatures. One could imagine how much more powerful those Gu worms were than ordinary poisonous creatures. It was precisely because of the strength of Gu worms that they were more sensitive to danger.

She dared to say that with Huangfu Ruilings murderous aura, if the people in this village were really raising Gu worms, the Gu worms in the entire village would probably riot when he got closer. At that time, the villagers would probably be alerted before they even entered the village. Therefore, she could only cover Huangfu Ruilings body with faint spiritual energy, hoping to temporarily cover up the murderous aura on his body..
