Chapter 757 - A Conversation with Xiaoyu (2/2)

Xiaoyu lowered his head silently, aware of why his sister got angry.

But only in this way could he become her helper instead of her burden in the shortest time possible.

“Tell me, in your clan, are only the members proficient in witchcraft able to get greater power? Or did your uncles have to teach you witchcraft in this way so that you could gain a seat in your clan?” Lin Mengya asked.

Xiaoyu trembled slightly, lowered his head and said nothing.

Lin Mengya took a deep glance at the poor boy. She had just thought that Xiaoyu’s clan was in a mess, but she did not expect his family members to use him as a shield.

“Silly boy, I was a little harsh, but do you know that if you go on like this, you will become a jar of venomous insects rather than a normal person? Fortunately, you are my brother. Now try to feel the difference of your body.” As Lin Mengya said, she patted him on the head tenderly.

She knew that it was not all Xiaoyu’s fault. Although he was eager to get achievements in witchcraft, those who told him about this method actually added fuel to the fire.

Now that she had reunited with Xiaoyu, she would take back what he deserved and avenge his wrongs.

“Eh? What’s going on?” Xiaoyu exclaimed.

Hearing Lin Mengya’s words, he, who had always been obedient to her, involuntarily activated the venomous insects in his body. As expected, the venomous insects were no longer restless and seemed to be much tamer.

At least, he, who had suffered from unbearable pain and itchiness, felt much better now.

He couldn’t help looking up at his sister, both surprised and delighted.

“Now my blood can be considered the king of all poisons. The venomous insects in your body feed on poison, so they are certainly afraid of me. You just said that you seemed to be unable to look away from me. It’s because of the venomous insects in your body. From now on, all those who have been immersed in poison making all the year round will involuntarily submit themselves to me. But don’t worry, it’s no big deal. With my blood to restrain the venomous insects in your body, you can set your mind at ease.” Lin Mengya gave a mysterious explanation that stunned Xiaoyu.

This explained why he found every move of his sister undoubted.

Soon he realized a fatal problem.

He hurriedly grabbed his sister’s arm and said anxiously, “In this case, after you follow me back to the Lieyun Empire, won’t all those people capable of witchcraft discover your identity? I can’t put you in such a dangerous situation!”

Lin Mengya smiled, carefully loosened Xiaoyu’s grip and held his hand.

Meanwhile, she said, “I just called you silly boy, but you are smart this time. It’s all right. You seemed to be unable to look away from me just because this is the birthplace of the toxin of the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass and you just drank my blood. This will happen only when we get out of the cave and my blood is exposed in the air. At other times, they will only find me quite attractive. Fortunately, I’m good-looking and won’t arouse others’ suspicion.”

Xiaoyu nodded immediately and completely put his mind at ease.

However, he could not help but feel a little dejected.

He had thought that he was no longer the docile child in front of his sister this time. Unexpectedly, his sister taught him another lesson.

“What’s wrong? I’m sorry. I was a little anxious, so I was harsh on you. Don’t be angry with me, okay?” Lin Mengya said.

She stroked a strand of long hair on Xiaoyu’s shoulder, thinking his original black hair was smooth and soft to the touch, but now it became grayish-white.

It broke her heart. What had he gone through in the past half a year so that he became like this?

Shaking his head, Xiaoyu held her tender hand.

Although he had reunited with his biological parents, he missed her, from whom he got warmth for the first time in his life, even more.

He took her out through the tunnel and considerately put a fur cloak on her. After that, the two of them sat by the fire as before.

“In fact, I did this voluntarily. I am very grateful to the venomous insects in my body. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to succeed in pretending to be the envoy skilled in witchcraft, replacing him, and helping you,” Xiaoyu said.

Lin Mengya was puzzled by this.

A person like Canying would definitely not trust others easily.

It must have taken Xiaoyu a lot of effort to replace the envoy.

She was more curious about what Xiaoyu was up to.

However, Xiaoyu was no longer the youngster who followed her and called her sister all the time.

There was something beyond his control.

“Well, I’m surprised that you’re so capable. But since you are going to take me back to the Lieyun Empire, you should let me know what I’m going to face, right?” Lin Mengya said.

She was no fool, neither was Xiaoyu.

She decided to visit the Lieyun Empire not only because of Xiaoyu, but also because of the map in her hands.

Now the jade ruler was still in the pool, but the map was in her mind. It was risky to carry anything with her, but her brain now became the most important and safest coffer.
