CHAPTER 450: CHAPTER 450: MS. PEI, LET ME DELIVER YOU TO REBIRTH

Pei Shu’er looked speechless.

"...Can you stop being so lovestruck? You are the Third Prince, someone with the right to compete for the throne. Are you going to let yourself be controlled by matters of the heart?"

As soon as she said this, Yan Hengyin fell silent.

Tang Zan: "Wake up, Third Prince, it’s not just a Golden Silkworm Gu that can tie us together."

Yan Hengyin laughed madly, a craziness in his eyes.

"Pei Shu’er, stop overthinking yourself. How could I possibly like you? I just thought that controlling you would be a tool to control Tang Zan, that’s all."

He laughed so hard and wildly that Pei Shu’er feared he would laugh himself to death.

"You colluded with Tang Zan to imprison me for so long; how could I still like you?"

With Yan Hengyin saying this, Pei Shu’er relaxed visibly, letting out a sigh of relief.

"That’s good. As for what you said about using this to control Tang Zan, I think it’s unnecessary."

After saying this, she injected a tranquilizer into Yan Hengyin.

"I was originally planning to reason with you before resorting to force, but since you really refuse to expel the Golden Silkworm Gu from your body, I can only enforce it."

She found that she was indeed walking further down the path of a major villain.

Really, Tang Zan had led her astray.

Yan Hengyin looked up at her with fury, and because he glared so hard, a physiological tear flowed from the corner of his eye, quickly disappearing into his hairline.

From Pei Shu’er’s angle, she could see Yan Hengyin’s Adam’s apple bobbing.

It was only then that Pei Shu’er gave Yan Hengyin the medication.

At the same time, she cut a slit in both her left hand and Yan Hengyin’s right hand.

According to the method Pei Shu’er learned from Lin Shiyao, the remedy for the Gu involved having the two hands clasp together, allowing the pull between the Gu worms to reach its maximum.

This was truly a bizarre setup.

Would this Golden Silkworm Gu ever heal?

Pei Shu’er cautiously glanced at Tang Zan, whose lips twisted unnaturally as he maintained a facade of magnanimity.

"It’s fine. What matters now is getting rid of the Gu."

Pei Shu’er nodded heavily, lying down on the bed’s other side, clasping her left hand with Yan Hengyin’s right.

Yan Hengyin blinked, his eyes quickly flashing with pain.

Then, as if overwhelmed, he closed them.

Watching their blood intermingle, their hands tightly clasped, Tang Zan’s eyes were sinister; he didn’t want to do anything to Pei Shu’er but wanted to chop off Yan Hengyin’s hand.

Until the Golden Silkworm Gu was successfully removed.

At this moment, the sound of a flute came from outside.

Pei Shu’er’s face turned pale, and she suddenly spat blood.

Yan Hengyin, also affected, spat a mouthful of blood, and the tranquilizer’s effect completely vanished at this moment.

He regained some strength, clutching Pei Shu’er’s hand tightly, yanking her closer, gritting his teeth as he looked at her.

Their breaths audible and mingling; yet in Yan Hengyin’s eyes, emotions roiled—a hatred so strong he wished to strangle Pei Shu’er.

Pei Shu’er wanted to continue breaking the Gu, but the Golden Silkworm Gu in her body was made violent by the sound of the flute.

She felt a convulsive pain in her abdomen, sapping her strength.

Realizing the attempt to break the Gu had failed, she quickly stopped her own bleeding and bandaged Yan Hengyin as well.

Only then did she look at Tang Zan.

Tang Zan understood and arranged for others to seek Lin Shiyao.

Pei Shu’er also followed, and as for Yan Hengyin, he was taken along by Tang Zan.

By now, he didn’t want any more complications.

Once outside, Pei Shu’er saw Lin Shiyao.

Beside her stood a monk in white robes.

Zhen Xu looked at her with emotionless eyes, hands clasped, and recited a Buddhist hymn.

"Ms. Pei, long time no see."

Pei Shu’er’s face darkened; she thought she’d successfully shaken off Zhen Xu.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Xu was walking alongside Lin Shiyao.

Is it true that the plot correction brought Zhen Xu and Lin Shiyao together again?

Both want her dead; now that they are teamed up, their attacks might become even more fierce.

Pei Shu’er nodded with a cold expression, "Indeed, it’s been a long time."

Could it be that all her previous schemes were for naught at this moment?

Tang Zan’s expression turned icy, and he raised his hand to launch a hidden weapon at Lin Shiyao.

Lin Shiyao’s eyes widened, incapable of evading; it was Zhen Xu who intercepted the weapon with his fingers.

He recited another Buddhist hymn.

"Ms. Pei, refrain from killing the innocent."

Tang Zan spoke darkly, "I’m not a monk; why shouldn’t I kill?"

Saying this, he threw another dart at Lin Shiyao.

Each time, Lin Shiyao was practically unable to escape.

Their martial prowess was not on the same scale.

Nonetheless, the heartbreak was unavoidable; this was the man she had feelings for, yet he wholeheartedly wanted her dead.

Zhen Xu intervened once more, and Tang Zan’s brow furrowed.

"Monk, don’t meddle."

Zhen Xu said, "Everything I do is only to kill the lady beside you. If you let me kill her, I won’t interfere with Ms. Lin’s affairs."

This time, it thoroughly enraged Tang Zan.

The treasure he had cherished in his heart could not be plotted against by anyone wishing to kill.

Zhen Xu had touched his reverse scale.

He opened his palm, and Xuan Liu handed the bow and arrow to him.

Tang Zan drew his bow and loosed three arrows in succession.

Then continued to shoot, and a small barrage of arrows surged toward Zhen Xu.

Zhen Xu barely dodged, his demeanor no longer as relaxed as before.

Because Tang Zan’s shooting speed was too fast, even the arrows were secretly imbued with Inner Strength.

If he endured it head-on, he would inevitably get hurt.

Zhen Xu said, "Why does Ms. Pei need to be angry? I’m merely relieving the lady of her suffering."

"This world is filled with many sins; for her, this is the best outcome."

"Ms. Pei, allow me to offer you liberation."

He seemed truly oblivious, with his detached gaze carrying a slight hint of confusion.

Lin Shiyao could only speak up urgently; she was well aware of how terrifying Tang Zan could be.

Tang Zan was nothing short of a demon.

"Master, stop speaking, or else Tang Zan’s anger will only grow."

Seeing Zhen Xu unyielding, she reached to grab Zhen Xu’s robe.

However, as Zhen Xu sidestepped, she failed to touch his white robe.

Lin Shiyao froze, a mix of shame and frustration on her face.

Pei Shu’er said, "Zhen Xu, there’s no need to involve others in our affairs. The lady beside you isn’t a good person."

Zhen Xu replied, "She said she has a way to kill you, so good or evil doesn’t matter to me."

She abruptly looked at Pei Shu’er, feeling as though Pei Shu’er was mocking her.

"Pei Shu’er, rest assured, as long as I’m here, I won’t allow you to rid yourself of the Gu worm."

Pei Shu’er chuckled lightly, her raised brows carrying an air of flamboyance, making her even more captivating.

"As long as I’m far enough away from you, even if you play your flute, it won’t affect me."

Lin Shiyao raised a brow: "Fine, then go."

Pei Shu’er offered a gentle smile.

Unnoticed by Lin Shiyao, she suddenly pulled out a gun.

She aggressively fired a shot at Lin Shiyao.
