C229 No Relatives(1)
"It doesn't matter."
The old woman stopped the Miao man beside her.
Then, she slowly glanced at him with a pair of gloomy eyes.
"You probably don't know my name yet. My name is Wang Xiu'e. I am the most powerful Grass-Ghost Nanny within ten miles of the bronze village of Miaojiang. I had no intention of stepping into Jindu, but Fu Zhongde has harmed my daughter's life. He had made her unwilling to die in peace. Therefore, it is only right and proper for me to take the lives of his entire family. "
Her voice was not loud, and it even carried a sense of vicissitude unique to the villagers.
But...
For some reason, it gave people a very strong sense of oppression.
"Is that so? That's perfect. I don't want to interfere in the matters of the Fu family." Lu Qi crossed her arms and said casually.
"Oh?"
Wang Xiu'e frowned slightly as if she did not expect Lu Qi to say this.
"Since you do not wish to interfere in the matters of Fu family, then why did you come to this rouge road?"
"Just to ask you a question."
"What question?"
Lu Qi was expressionless and only raised her eyebrows slightly. "Chen Qingquan, do you know him?"
"Chen Qingquan?"
A trace of panic quickly flashed across Wang Xiu'e's aged face.
"You... What is your relationship with him?"
"I am his daughter, an adopted daughter."
Wang Xiu'e stared intently at Lu Qi as if she was trying to determine whether what she said was true or not.
"No wonder you can not only cure the Fu family brat whose blood essence was sucked away by the Charm Spirit, but also easily break my Corpse Oil Perfume Technique. After messing around for so long, you are actually his adopted daughter!"
It was as if Lu Qi's foster father was a god-like existence in the profound world.
Even she, the most powerful grass-hag in all of the surrounding villages, found it hard to look up to him.
"So, you were also the one who poisoned the old monk in the ancient temple in Dragon Spring Mountain?" Lu Qi continued to ask.
"No."
This time, Wang Xiu'e very straightforwardly denied it.
"However, that Gu worm was borrowed from me."
Lu Qi's eyes slightly narrowed, "Who?"
"Do you want to know?"
"Of course!"
The reason she came today was to investigate this matter and catch the murderer who killed her adoptive father.
Wang Xiu'e stared at her and smiled coldly.
"Then I will not tell you!"
Hearing this, Chen Feng immediately started to scold his mother.
"You old witch! You only said half of what you said, what kind of hero are you? I advise you to obediently tell me everything you know. Otherwise, my junior sister's power is not to be trifled with!"
"Your junior sister's power?"
A trace of contempt flashed across Wang Xiu'e's face. "Even if she inherits Chen Qingquan's legacy, she is only a yellow-haired girl who has not even fully grown her hair. Do you think I will be afraid of her?"
Obviously, in her eyes, even if Lu Qi had extraordinary talent, she would not be a match for her.
"Of course you are not afraid of me, but what about them?" Lu Qi curled her lips.
Wang Xiu'e was stunned for a long time before she turned her head and looked at the two Miao men beside her.
The one on the left was still alright.
But the one on the right had a dark green face. His entire body was on the ground and he was foaming at the mouth.
"Xing Lang!"
She squatted down, trying to examine Xing Lang's injuries.
"You don't need to check anymore. You can't cure the poison he's been poisoned with"
"How is that possible!? I am the most powerful witch in the Bronze Walls. How can there be someone in this world that I can't cure..."
She still wanted to argue.
But when she saw the thing lying in Lu Qi's hand, she was instantly stunned.
"You... You actually have a red swamp?"
Red swamp, rumored to be a creature left behind from ancient times.
After years of reproduction, it had already become the king of geckos!
"So your name is Red Swamp!"
Lu Qi reached out and touched the little gecko in her palm with a smile on her face.
"To think that I have always called you ugly thing!"
When the little gecko heard this, it felt extremely aggrieved. It laid on her palm and continuously moaned.
It looked like a child that had been criticized.
Wang Xiu'e's expression became increasingly ugly.
As a person who played with Gu, she knew very well how poisonous Hong Ze was.
Although it would not be fatal immediately, with the passage of time, this kind of poison could make people wish for death.
It could even be said that the Gu poison she played with added up wasn't as powerful as the red swamp's.
The key...
Only Hong Ze could cure the poison under Hong Ze's control.0
Anything else is useless against the Red Swamp.
Looking at Hong Ze's condition, if Lu Qi did not agree, even if it was beaten to death, it would definitely not give the antidote.
"What exactly do you want?" She glared at Lu Qi.
Lu Qi said, "I've said it before. I just want to know who the person who asked you for the Gu is!"
"Change the question. As long as you don't ask this question, I will answer whatever you ask. " Wang Xiu'e wanted to bargain.
"Sorry, I don't have any other questions. I just want to ask this one."
After all, she came to Jindu to find out the truth of her adoptive father's death.
"You..."
The corner of Wang Xiu'e's mouth twitched.
She really did not expect that Lu Qi, a person who had not even fully grown her hair, would actually be stubborn to such an extent!
"If I did not guess wrong, this young man called Xing Lang should be your nephew, right?"
Lu Qi glanced at Xing Lang with two eyes and a smile that was not a smile, "So, do you really want to see him die like this?"
Xing Lang lay on the ground and could not stop twitching.
His expression was also very painful.
"Aunt... Aunt, save... save me..."
