Xin Mu frowned. He looked at the place under his feet, and then looked at the small courtyard with a complicated expression.
In the crowd, Lin Mengya and the other two didn’t want to attract attention.
Fortunately, when she performed the dance the day before yesterday, the makeup on her face was so heavy that even her mother could not recognize her.
Now that she had removed her makeup, of course, she was not afraid to show up in front of Xin Mu.
But there were some things that she had to be careful of.
“Is this the place where Miss Ningqiu lives?”
More and more venomous insects and poisonous insects gathered here. Except for a few people, everyone else had silently retreated.
Although Lin Mengya and the other two were not afraid, they still kept a low profile and followed them.
But the situation on Xin Mu’s side could still be heard by her word by word.
“Yes.”
The person who came to report also looked at the closed door of the courtyard.
There was no difference between this place and other places, but why did only this place have such a strange phenomenon?
“What’s going on? Uncle, is there an infestation here?”
An extremely clear voice rang out. As the most distinguished person in this place, the Ninth Prince Wanyan Yu came slowly.
His steps were extremely relaxed, and anyone with discerning eyes could see that those venomous insects seemed to be very afraid of him.
The black stream of insects opened a path for him alone that only allowed one person to pass.
Lin Mengya could feel that something on Xiaoyu’s body was extremely active now.
She supposed that the kid could be so powerful just because of this thing.
When did this guy learn these things?
“Your Highness, it’s really strange. But please go back and wait. After all, it’s not safe here.”
Xin Mu’s face was a little gloomy. What happened the day before yesterday gave him a headache for a whole day, but he still had no clue.
Why did things like this happen again today?
Could it be that God was reminding them that now was not the time to be complacent?
However, these things were all treasures in the Pool of Various Venomous Insects. He didn’t know if he could drive them back.
“It doesn’t matter. The things on me are much more powerful than them. Wow, these scorpions are really good-looking. They’re black and shiny. They’re perfect for making the introducers of venomous insects.”
Wanyan Yu’s eyes were bright and his teeth were white, but his words almost killed Xin Mu.
Since there was no longer the chosen witch to manage and deter, there was no longer anyone to drive the royal venomous insect in the Pool of Various Venomous Insects.
This was not the most miserable thing. The people in Xin Family were all good at producing venomous insects. But the reason was probably because there were many rare venomous insects and poisonous grasses in the Pool of Various Venomous Insects.
Without them, the techniques of producing venomous insects in the Xin Family would be in tatters.
If it weren’t for the maintenance of a few elders highly skilled at producing venomous insects, the materials on the periphery would have been exhausted long ago.
But now, so many of them had come out. These were the lifeblood of the Xin Family!
“Your Highness, you are indeed sharp-eyed. It’s just that the venomous insects here are fierce. If you need them, why don’t you let others catch them and send them to your room?”
Wanyan Yu looked at Xin Mu calmly and couldn’t help snorting in his heart.
“He is just afraid that I will take away all the best. Such a petty person is really from the Xin Family.
“However, what he wants is just the trash outside.”
“There’s no need. Oh, how about my sister? Sister Ningqiu, open the door!”
Turning around, Xiaoyu leaned on the door, slamming it hard.
His exaggerated acting made Lin Mengya and the other two speechless.
Although Baisu had already told Xiaoyu about this, Lin Mengya did not have much confidence.
The door of the courtyard was opened.
When she saw Ningqiu, who was wearing a long white dress, appear in front of everyone, Lin Mengya realized that fate seemed to favor her very much.
Ningqiu, with a slightly cold face, was holding a crystal jade cicada in her hand.
Although it was called a jade cicada, Lin Mengya could feel that it was a living creature.
But this little white thing was more like a jade carving than a venomous insect.
It made people like it, but all the people present couldn’t help but gasp.
That’s… that’s the Icy Jade Venomous Cicada that could only be driven by the chosen witches for generations!
“Sister Ningqiu, are you okay?”
A glint of light flashed across Xiaoyu’s eyes. Soon, he held Ningqiu in his arms and performed a joyful reunion after the disaster.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry, Your Highness. But this little guy somehow pestered me. So please, Patriarch, take it away.”
Her slender hands casually reached toward Xin Mu. Although Xin Mu also wanted it, he knew better than anyone else that this little thing was very difficult to deal with.
He waved his hands immediately and said helplessly, “No, only you can send it to the back mountain. But one thing is important, has the Icy Jade Cicada ever drunk your blood?”
The life span of the Icy Jade Cicada was very short. It only had ten years.
However, it would take at least ten years to get a mature Icy Jade Cicada.
Moreover, only two of these Icy Jade Cicadas could live. The male Jade Cicada had a shorter lifespan. Only the female Icy Jade Cicada would become the key to opening the Pool of Various Venomous Insects.
Therefore, even in the Pool of Various Venomous Insects, there was only one female Jade Cicada.
Every year, a lot of women would be sent to the Xin Family secretly in order to find a woman who could inherit the position of the chosen witch.
However, they did not expect that there would never be a woman who could make the Icy Jade Cicada being willing to show up, not to mention that it would cause a great turmoil every time.
But now—
Was this really the will of God?
“No, this little thing is very obedient. It’s strange that although we can’t talk, it seems to understand what I mean. It seems that it is also very important to the Xin Family. Your Highness, why don’t you go with me and return it to its original owner?”
Xin Mu was a little surprised when he heard that Ningqiu did not intend to monopolize it at all.
They were from the royal city. Not to mention others, Madame Jingrou was well aware of how powerful it was.
But now, why did she take the initiative to return it?
“Well… thank you, Miss. Someone comes to show her the way.”
The Icy Jade Cicada was highly toxic, and only when a woman touched it could it be activated.
Ever since Madame Jingrou had left, the Icy Jade Cicada had been asleep for two whole generations.
Lin Mengya looked at the jade cicada on Ningqiu’s little hand and then looked at the jade hairpin on her head.
No wonder she could seduce the Icy Jade Cicada. It seemed that Madame Jingrou had put in a lot of effort this time.
The crisis caused by the venomous insects and poisonous insects ended with Ningqiu and Xiaoyu returning the Icy Jade Cicada in person.
It was also strange that the venomous insects followed them and went back in great numbers.
There was a clear smile on Xin Mu’s face. Probably he was already very satisfied because his family didn’t lose too much in this accident.
In the west courtyard, Lin Mengya and Baisu were tidying up the courtyard, which had been messed up by the poisonous insects and venomous insects.
The Pool of Various Venomous Insects was really good. The poisonous insects and venomous insects in it were not only highly toxic, but also very good-looking.
From this point of view, she could probably understand why the Xin Family valued the Pool of Various Venomous Insects so much.
“Miss, Young Master and Miss Ningqiu come here.”
As soon as they entered the room, Lin Mengya’s hands, which were holding the broom, were pulled away by a pair of slender hands.
Wanyan Yu frowned and looked around in distress. He was afraid that his sister’s delicate hands would be pierced by the rough broom.
“Well, how can I be so delicate and noble? Let’s talk about you. Did you get anything from going to the Pool of Various Venomous Insects today?”
Lin Mengya quietly withdrew her hands and gave a warning look to Xiaoyu, who was even more eager to push his luck.
Sometimes, the people in her courtyard would definitely protect her too much.
She was an adult, not a fool. Was it necessary to take care of her like a baby?
“It’s really spectacular. It’s called the Pool of Various Venomous Insects, but in fact, it’s an endless forest in the back mountain. Moreover, the place where the Pool of Various Venomous Insects is located is completely sunken. According to the elders of the Xin Family, even Xin Li has never entered the deepest part of the pool. They don’t know what will be inside. Sister, do you think that I can go down?”
In fact, the reality was more shocking than what Xiaoyu had described.
Yushan County might be a small place in Lieyun.
But except for this main town, all the other places were built from mountainous areas at the back hill.
In other words, in the entire Yushan County, only the main town could accommodate people. The rest were almost all the territory of the Pool of Various Venomous Insects.
It was just that the back mountain of the Xin Family was closer to the center than anywhere else.
“That’s for sure. I’ve prepared the medicine. All the royal venomous insects and venomous insects could not be close to you. But Xiaoyu, you must be well prepared to suffer. According to my prediction, the royal venomous insect is indeed not easy to control.”
Lin Mengya’s previous research results had basically enabled Xiaoyu to have the strength to fight with them.
However, things could be done only when he had made up his mind.
“I know. Sister, just wait for my good news. But you must be careful when you are outside. My people have received the news that those people no longer want to wait and endure it.”
There was an extremely mature and determined look on Xiaoyu’s clean and handsome face.
Looking at Xiaoyu like this, Lin Mengya only felt half relieved.
As for the other half, she would have to wait for Xiaoyu to return victoriously before she could completely put it down.
“Don’t worry about me. As long as our plan succeeds, those people won’t dare to touch me. Also Ningqiu, you did a good job today. You must always wear the thing that Madam gave you. It’s definitely good for you.”
Her words revealed Ningqiu’s trick today, and the latter’s face showed a stunned expression.
Then she nodded cautiously. In fact, she didn’t mean to hide it from the Miss. It was just that before leaving the palace, Madam had repeatedly told her that she couldn’t let anyone know about it.
She didn’t expect Miss Helan to be so sharp.
“Today’s affair is considered to be over, but this is only the beginning. After this, I’m afraid the Xin Family can’t wait any longer.”
