CHAPTER 451: CHAPTER 451: IF I STRANGLE HER, WILL YOU GO INSANE?

Lin Shiyao didn’t even have time to see the bullet clearly; she only saw the smile on Shu’er’s face and Shu’er’s action of holding a gun.

At the critical moment, it was Zhen Xu who pulled her aside.

But that bullet still shot through her shoulder.

In pain, she staggered a step and almost fell to the ground.

Pei Shu’er also threw a gun to Tang Zan, then aimed at Lin Shiyao again.

This time, Lin Shiyao’s face immediately changed; now her shoulder hurt unbearably, feeling as if it had been pierced.

She did want to dodge, but this was an open area, impossible to avoid.

Finally, it was Zen Master Zhenxu who carried her away from here.

But while leaving, Lin Shiyao’s back was hit by another shot from Tang Zan.

This time, at least for a long period, Lin Shiyao wouldn’t be able to bother her again.

Pei Shu’er cast her gaze towards Yan Hengyin next to her.

"Let’s go, now’s the time to remove the Gu Worm."

Yan Hengyin glanced at Pei Shu’er, his eyes landing on the bloodstain at the corner of her mouth.

"I think, she might blow the flute again."

Pei Shu’er smiled: "No, she doesn’t have the energy for that, besides, with such a powerful weapon, she wouldn’t possibly hand it over to someone else."

Lin Shiyao, overwhelmed with pain, passed out within three minutes after being shot.

When she woke up, her face was pale, and it had been a day and a night already.

"Did the Gu worms of Pei Shu’er and Yan Hengyin get resolved?"

Zhen Xu didn’t even look at her, there wasn’t a trace of emotion on his face.

He seemed like a dummy.

Meanwhile, the attempt to remove Pei Shu’er and Yan Hengyin’s Gu worms failed.

The sedative lost its effect at the most critical moment, Yan Hengyin seemed to have developed an immunity.

Pei Shu’er spat out another mouthful of blood.

She looked at Yan Hengyin in exhaustion and sighed.

"Why do you insist on this?"

Yan Hengyin’s face was also pale, suffering from the backlash of the Golden Silkworm Gu.

But his face showed a satisfied smile, eyes scanning Pei Shu’er filled with malice.

"Why wouldn’t it be? I think being connected with you is clearly a very happy thing?"

Pei Shu’er knew in her heart, Yan Hengyin just felt he had a bargaining chip to threaten Tang Zan.

Moreover, with that expression, there wasn’t a hint of happiness!

Yan Hengyin, must he be insane?

In just one day, suffering two back-to-back heavy blows, she was utterly fatigued and would need at least a day to recover.

Actually, she knew, mixing with Tang Zan and being so hostile to the protagonist, accomplishing anything was bound to be very difficult.

Especially when the protagonist was doing everything to prevent it.

Whether she resolved the Gu worms early or later, Lin Shiyao would intercept it.

This was always bound to happen.

Tang Zan punched Yan Hengyin in the face, his eyes filled with fury.

"Yan Hengyin, you’re asking for death."

After saying this, Tang Zan punched Yan Hengyin a few more times.

Yan Hengyin retreated repeatedly, he couldn’t beat Tang Zan, so he just gave up, entirely indifferent.

In the end, he was beaten until he spat blood.

But even beaten, he was still laughing, laughing as if his heart was breaking.

His eyes lifted, phoenix eyes looking at Tang Zan, filled with revenge, with hatred.

"If you kill me, what about Pei Shu’er? You love her so much, are you willing to let her die?"

As he spoke further, his voice lowered, carrying a bewitching power.

Tang Zan’s fist halted midway.

Pei Shu’er had no strength left, said calmly: "Lock him up, and find a doctor to treat his wounds, don’t let him die."

After finishing this, Pei Shu’er looked wan, walked to the side, no longer interested in saying anything to Yan Hengyin.

Tang Zan followed to comfort Pei Shu’er, his voice growing more distant.

"Pei Shu’er, don’t worry, since ancient times, the Golden Silkworm Gu is the most difficult to solve, encountering some obstacles is inevitable."

"You were so close to succeeding before. Next time, you will succeed."

Pei Shu’er smiled faintly.

"I’m not worried, I’m just thinking how to make Lin Shiyao stay far, far away from here, or let Yan Hengyin live without causing trouble?"

There were actually many medicines in her space, since the sedative was useless now, she would change to another potion.

She was blindly confident in the sedative before, she should have prepared other medicines for Tang Zan too.

The next day, Pei Shu’er had recovered, Lin Shiyao attempted to blow the flute a few times, ultimately finding it difficult to string a tune together.

As for Yan Hengyin’s condition, it wasn’t good, but no one cared about his state.

As long as he was alive.

Pei Shu’er was about to remove the Gu worm, when Yan Hengyin’s eyes dimmed, Pei Shu’er felt the Gu worm inside her body stir.

She suddenly glanced at Yan Hengyin, then instinctively took a step towards him.

She immediately stopped, furrowed her brows.

Yan Hengyin called softly: "Come here."

Pei Shu’er was forced to take another step.

Meanwhile, she was trying to control herself with her willpower, not to listen to Yan Hengyin.

But Yan Hengyin’s urge for her to come was growing stronger and stronger.

It was the first time she realized that the Golden Silkworm Gu could be triggered without a flute.

She had been watching Yan Hengyin play the flute before, and her mind had become fixated.

After Pei Shu’er approached, his hand pinched her delicate neck.

Tang Zan was originally on guard nearby, he thought Pei Shu’er went over to give Yan Hengyin some medicine.

But then he saw Pei Shu’er standing dazed like she was completely controlled, then he realized she was being manipulated by Yan Hengyin.

Tang Zan immediately walked over, his voice low and hoarse.

"Yan Hengyin, don’t court death."

Yan Hengyin laughed, his eyes reddened with emotion.

"I, a dignified prince, have been imprisoned by you collectively for so long, shouldn’t I at least do this to justify myself?"

As he spoke, he leaned close to Pei Shu’er, smelling a faint floral scent on her.

His fingers wandered, landing on Pei Shu’er’s throat.

He gently rested his head on Pei Shu’er’s shoulder, lightly laughing as he looked at Tang Zan, speaking with a voice as gentle as a lover’s whisper.

"What do you say, if I snapped her neck, would you go insane?"

Yan Hengyin indeed applied some strength.

Tang Zan frowned: "What do you want?"

Yan Hengyin said: "For you to release me."

Tang Zan frowned, Yan Hengyin tightened his grip further, seeming as if he truly intended to strangle Pei Shu’er.

Pei Shu’er’s cheeks flushed red, but she made no sound.

Tang Zan nodded: "Yes, I’ll release you, just don’t harm Pei Shu’er."

Yan Hengyin’s face lit up with a smile.

"Of course, how could I possibly harm her?"

Just as he was gripping Pei Shu’er’s neck, moving towards the door, Pei Shu’er suddenly jabbed a strong sedative into his arm.

She slowly injected the sedative into Yan Hengyin’s body.

He had developed an immunity, but that didn’t mean it was completely useless; it could at least hold him off for a while.

Throughout the process, her expression showed no change.

Only when Yan Hengyin collapsed to the ground did Pei Shu’er’s eyes slowly regain awareness.

In the negotiation between Yan Hengyin and Tang Zan, his mind had relaxed, his control over Pei Shu’er had weakened, allowing her to regain control of her body.

However, this feeling of being out of control was simply too awful.

She must remove the Gu quickly.
