Chapter 37: Man proposes, God disposes
She did not see the scene of Pa Yinan being gutted. Instead, several men in black clothes were scattered around, their bodies riddled with insects.
Among them, one person was the most severely affected, his stomach already like a sieve from the insects.
These people looked thoroughly dead.
Smelling the bloody scent in the ancestral hall, Gu Yu could not help but frown. He did not expect Gege’s wife to be so formidable.
Even as a prisoner, she could still command so many insects to kill people. She was not to be underestimated!
However, to deal with these people, Pa Yinan did not come out unscathed.
Just looking at her pale complexion now, she looked as if she had exhausted all her strength.
“Who are you!”
Upon seeing a man and a woman suddenly appear outside the ancestral hall, Pa Yinan secretly thought something was amiss. She felt her luck was truly terrible, encountering unexpected trouble again right after dealing with the guards!
With her current abilities, she could at most take these two down with her.
However, subconsciously reaching out to touch her lower abdomen, Pa Yinan was unwilling to die so easily.
Originally, when she sent Gege out of Zhongjia Village, Pa Yinan had prepared herself for death.
But she never expected… that accidents always come so suddenly. She was already over a month pregnant.
Now, even for the sake of her unborn child, Pa Yinan knew she had to survive.
No matter how difficult it was, she could not give up!
However, what Pa Yinan did not expect was that the people who came this time mastered a forbidden technique from Southern Border, intending to use undeveloped children to create resentful worms.
As for the people of Zhongjia Village, except for the pregnant women, the remaining men were used as vessels. The others were directly killed and thrown into the cellar, waiting for the resentful worms to grow, at which point their corpses would be the best food.
The men carrying the resentful worms would transform into the most terrifying creatures, eating the corpses of their fellow villagers to nurture the resentful worms within them.
As a Gu master of Zhongjia Village, Pa Yinan naturally knew the methods of creating resentful worms, but she never thought she would become one of the raw materials.
This made Pa Yinan extremely angry, but the spiritual energy within her was directly sealed, making her unable to continue commanding Gu worms to kill people and turning her into an ordinary person.
This made Pa Yinan feel uneasy, but she did not give up hope.
Eventually, Pa Yinan managed to forcibly break through a small portion of the seal, allowing the spiritual energy within her to recover slightly. With a little more time, she would have the strength to break through the remaining seal.
However, whether it was fate or not, just as Pa Yinan wanted to persevere, the mysterious people attacking Zhongjia Village chose her as the raw material for the resentful worms.
To be precise, it was the child that had just formed in her womb.
Pa Yinan knew she was no match for these people now. Therefore, even though she was furious, she had to suppress her anger and prepare to find an opportunity for a fatal blow.
And such an opportunity appeared in the ancestral hall!
As the “flower” of Zhongjia Village, Pa Yinan was naturally beautiful. These guards, who had not relieved their desires for several months, saw the beautiful Pa Yinan and did not care if she was pregnant. They were ready to make a move on her.
Pa Yinan was ruthless and shrewd, not like ordinary women who would be frightened and flustered in such a situation. Instead, her mind grew calmer, and she directly played along with the leader of these guards.
Just as the other party was impatiently trying to strip Pa Yinan’s clothes to have some fun, he suddenly felt a pain in his stomach and froze in place.
Pa Yinan, who was being manhandled, continued her act. When the venomous insects swarmed towards the ancestral hall, the hall that originally enshrined the ancestors of Zhongjia Village turned into a living hell.
After everything was over, Pa Yinan’s spiritual energy was also depleted, causing her to collapse weakly to the ground. She prepared to recover some strength before leaving.
There were not a few mysterious people who came to Zhongjia Village, but after the leader took some of them away, less than half of the remaining personnel were left as guards.
Pa Yinan felt that with her abilities, she could definitely escape from here and find Gege, who had already left.
Although after sending Gege out of Zhongjia Village, Pa Yinan had decided to let him go and live the life he wanted.
However, man proposes, God disposes.
She was pregnant.
Now, even if Gege were to die, it would be by her hand!
As Pa Yinan was thinking of this, before the spiritual energy within her could recover, the door to the ancestral hall creaked open…
Coming back to her senses from her memories, Pa Yinan vigilantly stared at the man and woman in front of her, ready to deal with any potential danger.
She was about to leave this village, and she absolutely could not fail now and remain here.
“Cough cough, you are Pa Yinan, right!”
“How do you know my name?”
However, what Pa Yinan did not expect was… the man among the pair in front of her directly called out her name.
This caused Pa Yinan’s eyebrows to furrow. She did not understand the origin of the other party.
Could it be an enemy from the past?
If that were the case, the situation would be dire!
She had to strike first!
“Wait, we mean no harm. We came because Gege asked us to come deep into Zhongjia Village to save you.”
“Gege! You mean my man!”
“Yes, he’s right behind us. We can wait for him to come over before continuing our discussion.”
Before Pa Yinan could make a move, Gu Yu’s words immediately stopped her from wanting to attack.
Upon hearing the name Gege, Pa Yinan’s eyes immediately turned red. She did not expect that timid fellow to dare to return to save her.
Her judgment of Pa Yinan was still good!
Although Pa Yinan did not completely believe what Gu Yu said, hearing Gege’s name made her very happy.
Afterwards, Gu Yu did not say much else. Instead, he asked his little wife to call Gege over.
Gege and Zhou Yi, who were slowly running behind them, naturally did not know that they had come to the ancestral hall. Therefore, Gu Mengyao needed to bring them here.
After Gu Mengyao left, Gu Yu, having nothing else to do, saw Pa Yinan looking weak and immediately took out a pill from the jade bottle hanging on his waist and handed it to her.
This pill did not have any great efficacy. It was made with some mild medicinal herbs and Spatial Spring Water, and it could make people feel energetic after consumption.
Handing the pill to Pa Yinan now was because he saw her lack of spiritual energy. The pill made with Spatial Spring Water should have a miraculous effect.
Pa Yinan, upon receiving the pill from Gu Yu, did not eat it immediately. Instead, she summoned a poisonous insect to bite the pill.
She did not completely trust Gu Yu yet, so she had to ensure her own safety.
