That crone and that man with sharp features glared at Lu Xuan, wanting nothing more than to tear him to pieces.

They had never suffered such a defeat before, and worse still, they were both crippled by Shi Danze. While it was Shi Danze who made the move, it was nonetheless the young man before them who ordered the hit.

Having their cultivation totally destroyed meant that they, who had previously seen themselves as gods among men, were reduced to being mere mortals.

Their pride did not allow them to accept such a fate.

However, they dared not resist at that moment, so much so that they dared not even flinch because they noted just cold Lu Xuan’s eyes were. If they were to dare to do anything funny, it would probably be the end of them.

They knew of such looks in someone’s eyes very well, as those eyes bore the expression they had had when they were looking down at those they perceived to be ants, after all.

But then again, they were somewhat consoled by how boastful Lu Xuan behaved.

You’re gonna pay for what you’ve done to us, you piece of sh*t!

Lu Xuan spoke after sitting around for a while. “Shi Danze, keep an eye on these two. If they dare to pull anything funny, end them.”

“Yes, young master,” Shi Danze said right away.

Lu Xuan then rose and said to Ling Huang, “I’d head up and take care of that Gu Curse, just so to rid us of any further troubles.”

“Thank you, Mr. Lu!” Ling Huang said with an overjoyed tone.

He had been worried sick about his daughter’s condition. As for Shi Danze, he did not feel the man was out of place at all.

He had long thought Lu Xuan to probably be some disciple of some hidden sect or clan, and it was entirely within reason that he had such a formidable servant serving him.

Lu Xuan and Ling Huang headed up to Ling Fei’s room. They stood by her side and lifted the blanket before lifting up her pajamas a bit to reveal her abdomen. It was obvious that Ling Fei had been diligent in her training, as there was not even a hint of flab seen on her midsection.

Lu Xuan pressed his hand on her abdomen gently. Shocking slipperiness was sent from his palm as he began to work his magic, sending spirit qi into Ling Fei’s abdomen through his hand.

Lu Xuan quickly sensed something like a bug crawling inside of Ling Fei’s body through the feedback from the spirit qi he sent inside. Very thin threads spread out from that bug’s body, branching into her musculature.

While it would not have been easy to clean something like that up, Lu Xuan’s precise control of spirit qi meant that it would not have been all that difficult for him.

Ling Huang watched by his side, not daring to make a sound.

Lu Xuan pulled his qi back ten minutes later and exhaled deeply.

“So, it’s done, Mr. Lu?” He looked at Lu Xuan with doubtful eyes. While he was able to vaguely see the spirit emanating from Lu Xuan’s hand, he hardly saw anything else and wondered if the procedure had really ended.

Lu Xuan nodded and said, “Indeed. I’ve just destroyed that curse in her stomach a moment ago.”

Lu Xuan’s prowess was such that it was very easy for him to kill such a curse. However, given how the curse had already been inside her for days and had begun to meld with her body, killing the curse while preventing any harm from coming to Ling Fei took some effort.

But then again, given how experienced he had become when it came to dealing with such threats, he had an easier time dealing with it than he had in his past life.

“There’s no need to extract anything?” Ling Huang asked, feeling rather worried.

“No need for that. The bug responsible for the curse is a semi-ethereal being instead of one of flesh and blood. The bug absorbed quite a lot of ambient Spiritual Qi, and I’ve taken to dispersing all that Spiritual Qi into her body instead. This is her chance at furthering her cultivation, as what I did helped her to absorb all that qi.” Lu Xuan continued, “While the Soul-snatcher Gu Curse is dangerous, it’s something that only absorbs ambient Spiritual Qi through its host in earlier stages. As such, I’ve taken to cleaning up her insides a little bit using all that qi, which will make it easier for her to continue in cultivation.”
