Meng Qianqian paused her hand holding the needle: "Why?"
The Miao King gasped and said, "The Heart-devouring Gu is easy to plant but hard to extract. Once roused by the Gu Flute, it becomes extremely frenetic. A failed attempt might alarm it, causing it to release a substantial amount of Gu Poison for self-defense."
Meng Qianqian suddenly realized: "I see."
Out of caution, she continued to ask, "However, the Heavenly Silkworm Gu is the king of all Gu. Wouldn't it frighten it?"
Duke Jiang looked bewildered at the two.
They were clearly speaking human language, so why couldn't he understand?
The Miao King said, "The Heavenly Silkworm Gu is no ordinary Gu worm. As long as its master isn't in danger, it won't release its presence towards other Gu worms."
Meng Qianqian marveled, "No wonder it's the Gu King. And what about this blood..."
Her gaze fell upon Emperor Liang's wrist.
