Chapter 462: Parasitic Gu

However, when it came to her relationship with Chen Yu, she felt a bit shy.

She had liked Chen Yu since she was in middle school, but back then it was quite naive, and the feeling was also rather hazy.

As she grew older, she finally understood her feelings for Chen Yu.

Moreover, the fact that the two of them met here made her even more convinced that they were fated.

"Heh, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? A grown daughter is hard to keep at home. Chen Yu, come over here, I want to have a word with you." Bai Zhan smiled, then beckoned to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu stared at Bai Zhan, his expression somewhat strange; he nodded and walked over to sit beside Bai Zhan.

Bai Zhan brewed two cups of tea, handing one to Chen Yu and one to Bai Muyu.

The tea was top-quality Dahongpao, and his tea-brewing skills were quite good; the tea soup had an alluring color, and the fragrance was pungent.

"Chen Yu, I know Muyu likes you. Let's get things clear here today." Bai Zhan set down the purple clay teapot.

"Dad, what are you saying?" Bai Muyu's face flushed slightly, and she stood up, saying, "I'm going to the kitchen to get something to eat."

"Don't bother with that. You don't care about your own lifelong affairs?" Bai Zhan glared at her and said, "How long are you going to keep avoiding this?"

"Dad, what are you doing today?" Bai Muyu was so angry she stomped her feet, but she sat back down anyway.

That's right, she couldn't keep avoiding it; how long was she going to avoid it?

"Chen Yu, is my daughter pretty?" Bai Zhan asked.

"Of course she is." Chen Yu nodded.

"She likes you," Bai Zhan said. "Do you like her?"

"This..." Chen Yu was stunned.

Bai Muyu secretly glanced at Chen Yu; truth be told, ever since she was interrupted the last time she took the initiative to confess to Chen Yu, she hadn't had the courage to bring it up again.

But she still wanted to know her standing in Chen Yu's heart. Her father bringing this up directly in front of her and Chen Yu made her feel both happy and a little nervous.

"Must we answer this question today?" Chen Yu's brow furrowed.

"Yes, this question must be answered today." Bai Zhan stared at Chen Yu, feeling quite aggressive.

Chen Yu glanced at Bai Muyu. Bai Muyu was a bit nervous; she picked up the teacup in front of her to drink, trying to mask her inner tension.

Chen Yu snatched the cup from her hand and drank the water in it in one gulp, saying calmly, "Muyu, I'm hungry. Go make something to eat."

"Ah, what do you want to eat?" Bai Muyu looked up at Chen Yu, puzzled, not understanding why he had drunk the water in her cup.

"Anything is fine. As long as you make it, I'll like it." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Oh, alright then. I'll go cook you a bowl of noodles." Bai Muyu nodded.

After she left, Chen Yu picked up the cup in front of him and drank that cup of water dry in one gulp.

From beginning to end, Bai Zhan had been staring at Chen Yu; his gaze had never left Chen Yu.

"Let's show our cards. What do you want?" Chen Yu stared at Bai Zhan.

"You noticed?" Bai Zhan raised his head, a strange smile playing on his lips.

"I noticed something was wrong the moment I walked in." Chen Yu sneered. He opened his right hand, and a dark red Talisman Paper appeared on the table.

This Talisman Paper was dark red in color, with mysterious symbols drawn on it. The Cinnabar of the symbols seemed not yet dry, and one could vaguely see a flowing light surging upon it.

Seeing this Talisman, Bai Zhan's expression changed drastically. He retreated several steps, stood up abruptly, and moved far away from Chen Yu.

"What do you want to do?" Bai Zhan shouted. "I am Muyu's father!"

"The body is, but the mind is not." Chen Yu shook his head.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Bai Zhan looked bewildered.

"Parasitic Gu, a very vicious Gu Technique of the Jiuli Remnants. It places the Gu in the abdomen of a dying person, causing them to consume heart blood and parasitize the human body."

"It can eat its blood raw, hollow out the heart, and occupy the heart, stealing a portion of the host's consciousness. Then, controlled by the Gu practitioner, it disguises itself as the host to commit heinous acts."

"How do you know so much?" The smile on Bai Zhan's face gradually turned cold.

"I also know that you Jiuli Remnants are descendants of the Witch Clan, exiled to the deep mountains of the Xiang Region, living for generations by raising Gu." Chen Yu said coldly, "Make the Gu get out immediately."

"Heh, you really know too much." The smile on Bai Zhan's face gradually became ferocious.

"I only have one demand now." Chen Yu said coldly, "Get out, otherwise, I will make sure you don't return."

"Hahaha, Chen Yu, who do you think you are? I am currently occupying his body and possess his consciousness, so right now, I am Bai Zhan."

"I don't believe you dare do anything to me, and his life and death are also under my control. If you have the ability, then drive me out!" Bai Zhan laughed loudly.

"You are one of the Jiuli Remnants, and also a Huaxia person. Why help people from outside the borders?" Chen Yu said angrily.

"Heh, Huaxia? Witch Emperor Chiyou is my ancestor, yet his head was severed and his body dismembered by your so-called Huaxia ancestors."

"We Jiuli Remnants were driven by them to that tiny place, living an incomparably miserable life. Since I, Wuming, am the leader of the Witch Gu, and since I have the opportunity to walk out of that place, I will fight you to the death."

"Come out." Chen Yu was furious. He slapped his right hand down, and the Talisman Paper on the table suddenly floated up.

The Talisman Paper split into three; two tightly bound Bai Zhan's feet, and one attached to his chest.

Bai Zhan let out a miserable scream, and a low voice came from his abdomen: "Chen Yu, Bai Zhan is already dead. Even if your Medicine skills reach the heavens, you have no way to save him."

"Your mouth is quite tough. Are you forcing me to take action?" Chen Yu said coldly.

"Heh, you drank two cups of my Gu water. Do you feel a sharp pain in your abdomen now? Accept your fate, Chen Yu. Serve me as your master from now on, and there will be no shortage of benefits for you."

"I think you have underestimated my strength." Chen Yu sneered, "A mere two cups of Gu water; do you really think Gu water can derive a Gu inside my body?"

"You should worry more about yourself and how you can escape from here." Chen Yu said coldly, "I'll warn you one more time: get out."

Chen Yu changed his finger seals, and the Talisman Paper attached to Bai Zhan's chest suddenly lit up.

Bai Zhan shrieked, his face incomparably ferocious. He roared, "Chen Yu, I won't let you go. You will definitely die a horrible death."

"You still won't come out?" Chen Yu grabbed with his right hand, and Lichen appeared in his hand. The Lichen in his hand emitted a stern killing intent, pressing against Bai Zhan's chest.

*Clatter*... Bai Muyu, who had just finished cooking the noodles, saw this scene. She was so shocked that the noodles in her hands fell to the floor. She cried out, "Chen Yu, what are you doing?"

"Muyu, get out." Chen Yu shouted.

"What are you doing? Are you going to kill my dad? Chen Yu, stop!" Bai Muyu was anxious; she shouted and rushed forward, intending to stop Chen Yu.

"Chen Yu wants to kill me, Bai Muyu, save me quickly, save me." Bai Zhan put on a display of weakness, roaring and struggling.

"Dad, Chen Yu, let go of my dad." Bai Muyu screamed; she had no idea what was happening, so she lunged forward, using her body to block the sword in Chen Yu's hand.

But the moment she approached Bai Zhan, Bai Zhan suddenly grinned, the expression on his face becoming somewhat eerie; he grabbed his own chest with his right hand, and with a *pfft* sound, his chest tore open.

At the same time, a fat, fist-sized insect crawled out from his chest, waving the antennae on its head as it lunged toward Bai Muyu.

Chen Yu flicked his sword, thrusting the Lichen in his hand forward; *pfft*, the insect was pierced into two halves, and Bai Zhan's body was pierced through as well.

"Ah... Dad, Dad, are you alright?" Bai Muyu screamed hysterically, holding her father as fresh blood stained her clothes red.

The Gu that had fallen to the ground split in two, turning into two Gu insects, one heading toward Chen Yu and the other toward Bai Muyu.

Chen Yu changed the Dao Formula in his hand, and with a *whoosh*, the Talisman Paper attached to Bai Zhan's chest split in two, heading toward the two Gu insects separately.

The two dark red Talisman Papers suddenly lit up, and those two Gu actually emitted shrill screams like those of an infant.

Immediately following, two plumes of smoke rose, and the two Gu insects turned into ashes.

"Dad, Dad." Bai Muyu covered the bloody hole in Bai Zhan's chest, weeping uncontrollably.

Chen Yu stepped forward, inserted a few needles, and then tapped his right hand on the center of his brow, forcibly stimulating his potential to make his soul return to his Spirit aperture and wake him up.
