Chapter 1040 - Scarlet Gu (1/2)

”What is this Scarlet Gu?” Li Shentan asked after calming himself down.

If the Scarlet Gu were some kind of venomous worm Lian Yi intended to use on him, it would prove she was a bad person.

And if she were a bad person, he could hypnotize her without feeling guilty, right?

The women thought he could no longer put up a resistance after being apprehended, but the problem was that the Demon Whisperer's hypnotism was not something normal people could understand. With just a few words, he could hypnotize everyone here!

Lian Yi looked at Li Shentan and said, ”Since we're going to live together in the future, I might as well tell you. The Scarlet Gu is a secret skill that our tribe does not impart to others. The Scarlet Gu is as small as a needle. If it flies up next to you on a normal day, you might not even notice it. After you refine the Scarlet Gu, you can make it suck your blood and let it parasitize your target's body. Then the target will fall head over heels with the person controlling the Scarlet Gu and won't abandon her.”

Li Shentan was stunned. The most complicated thing in the world was probably emotion, so how could someone possibly manipulate the emotions of others with just a tiny worm?

Moreover, it did not seem like this thing was considered harmful. This woman could not truly be defined as a bad person if she only wanted to use the gu worm to gain his affection.

What was the definition of a bad person in Li Shentan's eyes? Someone who did things to hurt others.

But what Lian Yi wanted to do was probably what a lot of men would consider bliss.

What should he do? Although he still felt he could not use hypnotism on her, he really did not want to be the target of her gu poison.

He turned his gaze to Little Liren and realized she was looking excitedly at the cinnabar box in Lian Yi's hands. It was as though she could not wait to see him get implanted with the gu worm!

Lian Yi told Li Shentan, ”You don't have to worry that it'll harm your health. Once it drinks my blood and parasitizes your body, not only will it make you healthier and stronger, it will also give you the ability to refine corpses. At that time, you and I will be on equal footing, and we can govern the village stronghold here in Xiuzhuzhou together.”

Li Shentan had a strange expression on his face. It was as though Lian Yi was saying to him, ”Look, Xiuzhuzhou is the land I've conquered for you.”

Scarlet Gu had an extremely special place in the Lian tribe. It helped maintain the relationship between two people, making sure they would never abandon one another. Under normal circumstances, the matriarch's ah'zhu was no different from a normal man who commanded no social standing in the village. But after the matriarch used the Scarlet Gu on him, he would become a respected person.

The logic behind this was that men who did not have the Scarlet Gu implanted in them were still unreliable and untrustworthy. But men who had the Scarlet Gu were good people and could enjoy the same high status as women.

Speaking of which, this was one of the unique customs of the Lian tribe.

But as a result of this, Li Shentan was even more unwilling to use hypnotism. Not only was Lian Yi about to gift him her tribe, she was even going to present him the entire village stronghold. Where else could he find such a good person in the world? If he were to use hypnosis on someone like that, wouldn't he become the enemy of good? The opposite of good was evil!

However, he really did not want to be implanted with the gu worm!

Li Shentan slowly calmed down and said to Lian Yi, ”I don't believe it! I don't believe that your Scarlet Gu is that magical!”

Lian Yi got angry. ”Why don't you believe me?!”

”Who in the world dares to proclaim they can control the emotions of people?”

”Scarlet Gu can do that!”

”I don't believe it!”

Lian Yi was so angry she wanted to hit someone. ”Then I'll show you.”

With that, Lian Yi drew a dagger from her belt and pointed it at Li Shentan. ”Put your hand out for me. I'll let the Scarlet Gu drink your blood and parasitize me. I'll show you the Scarlet Gu really works! You'll see if my feelings for you are genuine!”

Li Shentan stretched out his hand. ”Sure!”

But Lian Yi started laughing strangely. ”Do you really think I'm that stupid? Pin him down.”

Li Shentan said helplessly, ”Wait a minute, let's talk nicely.”
