My ancestors warned me not to go to places that are too dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not dangerous—just take us near that place,” Su Huchen said. “Look, these shiny stones—if you take us there, I’ll give you ten of them.” He pulled out a colorless crystal the size of a thumbpad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This colorless crystal was a chongjing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Chiluo glanced at the chongjing, then at Su Huchen. He bent his upper body and plopped down onto the flowerpot. Why go? You’re offering so little for something edible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Chiluo completely gave up. No matter what Su Huchen said, he didn’t move or make a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even acknowledge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huchen had no choice but to first arrange for the Neijian Office’s elite to set out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he took Xue Chiluo to a private room in a tavern to negotiate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xue Chiluo still ignored him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huchen, baffled, called Su Hanlin over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think this means?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hanlin took one look and burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you get it? He’s playing dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s that mean?” Su Huchen stared in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It means he’s got no motivation—he’s too lazy to move,” Su Hanlin chuckled. “Big Hu, what exactly did you say to Xue Chiluo right before he turned like this? Tell me every word.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huchen felt utterly speechless, but he still recounted his entire conversation with Xue Chiluo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hanlin understood at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He burst into loud laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hand me that chongjing.” Su Huchen quickly handed Su Hanlin another thumbpad-sized chongjing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hanlin glanced at the tiny chongjing with disdain. No wonder Xue Chiluo was playing dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly squeezed the small chongjing and dropped it into the flowerpot beneath Xue Chiluo’s feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, let’s have some dessert first. After dessert, we’ll discuss the split. You can’t come all this way for nothing, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xue Chiluo extended a pale, tender root, grabbed the chongjing, and dragged it into the soil beneath him. He crunched it like a biscuit—crack, crack, crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He gave me too little. That place, so incredibly fragrant, has tons of these stones. I’m too small now—I’d die if I went. But I’ll grow. When I’m bigger, I’ll come back and eat them all. They’ll be mine.” Xue Chiluo munched on the biscuit, indignant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huchen, standing nearby listening, finally understood why Xue Chiluo had played dead. His face twisted into a huge frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d simply thought the reward was too small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right to be upset, Luo. Even if we’re small now, we’ll definitely grow—then all you’ll need is a mouth to eat them,” Su Hanlin said, echoing Xue Chiluo’s logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Chiluo instantly felt he’d found a kindred spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His small body straightened up again, and he nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. I’m only a foot tall now. Once I eat a few more of those tasty white worms and grow to one or two meters, I’m sure I’ll be the one eating them—not the other way around.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Chiluo spoke with absolute confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do you say ‘it’? A bug nest is just a breeding ground—it’s not a living being, is it?” Su Hanlin immediately sensed something odd and pressed further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It gives birth to lots of bug babies. Lots and lots of black bugs even use soil to help expand its body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And several tasty white worms help it lay eggs. Those eggs hatch quickly into many little black bug babies. It can command the tasty white worms to lay eggs, and order more black bugs to feed those white worms.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hanlin’s mind flashed with images of plump white mother bugs and black mutated locusts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But command… order…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—do you mean the large nest that breeds countless bugs… actually has its own consciousness?” Su Hanlin rapidly analyzed Xue Chiluo’s words and reached a shocking conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the bug nest developed its own consciousness?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this nest alone mutated—or had all new-generation nests changed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. It threatened me—if I get close, it’ll eat me,” Xue Chiluo whined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hanlin glanced at Su Huchen, who immediately ran out to send a thousand-mile transmission talisman to the city lord and his superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was going to be a major incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xiancheng Neijian Office couldn’t handle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you afraid of it?” Su Hanlin asked quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not really afraid—but if I get too close, I’ll die. I just feel it. It’s dangerous to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hanlin listened, glanced at Xue Chiluo’s slender little form, and still couldn’t gauge the true threat level of the nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides the two kinds of bugs you mentioned, what else is inside it? I mean, living things?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are strange humans with bug antennae growing from their heads, bulging eyes, and teeth turned into bug fangs,” Xue Chiluo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was far from that incredibly fragrant thing, it was Xue Chiluo—so it could still clearly sense the “body scent” of all kinds of tasty food. “But those strange humans aren’t very fragrant—only decent enough to eat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Chiluo gave his evaluation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Su Hanlin no longer wanted to ask more. He directly told Xue Chiluo: “Little Xue, wait here. I’m going out—I’ll be right back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He handed Xue Chiluo’s custody to another of Su Huchen’s trusted men and sprinted out to find Su Huchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it—ever since the bug nest developed its own consciousness, those terrifying bug-human warriors have reappeared on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is going to be a disaster. Xiancheng is going to suffer terribly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Hanlin rushed to find Su Huchen, interrupted whatever he was doing, and bluntly told him the deadly danger. Without waiting for Su Huchen’s reaction, he turned and ran back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he left, Bao Junyi, the Director of the Xiancheng Neijian Office, floated in like a cloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He entered with a dark face, staring at Su Huchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You just said one thing: the bug nest has developed its own consciousness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bao Junyi was Director of the Xiancheng Neijian Office, a powerful figure with deep roots in the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huchen was his subordinate—one of the Four Chief Managers of the Xiancheng Neijian Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you see it yourself? My men just reported this,” Su Huchen groaned. “Bao, why does Xiancheng have such a troublesome nest? Were you all just eating rice for the past ten years?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve only been here two years—I know nothing!” Bao Junyi snapped back, cursing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew how deeply this damn city had been infiltrated?\u003C\u002Fp>",1079,"2026-06-20T13:23:54.434Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4baf311b353fc32f53dfca497c8d21eb4fa6c33e3117dfc3062c651edd5a675e","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-101","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-99",156,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-cover.jpg"]
