After hearing Jiu Ji’s description, Chen An could not help but frown slightly. He thought of the box he had dug up under the old banyan tree outside the house.

He had a bad premonition in his heart. He suspected that Jiu Ji’s grandmother had been parasitized by a poisonous worm.

“Husband?”

Seeing that Chen An did not say anything after hearing this and only frowned as if he was thinking about something, Jiu Ji looked up at him and shouted softly.

When Chen An heard this, he came back to his senses and told Jiu Ji about how he had dug up the box under the banyan tree outside the house and his suspicion.

Jiu Ji’s face turned pale when she heard this. She felt afraid and said, “Grandma was poisoned?”

She was not afraid that her grandmother would be controlled, but she was afraid that her grandmother would be injured because of this.

“Husband, what should we do now? We have to help Grandma!” fre(e)novelkiss

Jiu Ji’s pure and lustful face was filled with worry.

Chen An only had a high cultivation and was strong. His knowledge was very limited. It could be said that he knew nothing about those parasitic worms. For a moment, he did not know how to deal with this matter.

Facing Jiu Ji’s pleading gaze, he could only say in the end, “Let’s go to your Sister Xiao’s place and discuss this with her.”

Xiao Qingyue had lived for nearly a thousand years and was the former Sect Master of the Heaven Earth Sect. Her knowledge far exceeded that of ordinary people.

If he discussed it with her, they might be able to solve the problem.

Soon, Chen An brought Jiu Ji to Xiao Qingyue’s room through the wall.

At this moment, Xiao Qingyue was sitting cross-legged on the bed and cultivating. After sensing Chen An and Jiu Ji teleporting over, she slowly opened her beautiful eyes and asked in confusion,

“Husband, Sister Jiu Ji, what are you doing?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of the flirtatious things Song Huaying had told her in the past. Thinking that Chen An wanted Jiu Ji to serve him with her, the cold noblewoman’s face flushed red.

Chen An had no idea what she was thinking. He said solemnly,

“Qingyue, I suspect that Jiu Ji’s grandmother has been poisoned by someone, but I don’t know much about the poisonous worms. I wonder if you know anything about it?”

‘Didn’t you come to play with me…’ Xiao Qingyue was a little disappointed.

Soon, she frowned slightly, worried about Chen An’s guess.

She got Chen An and Jiu Ji to sit on the bed and said to the two of them,

“I do know a little about those worms.”

“In the past, there were three demonic sects in the Mountain Sea Area. They were the Joyous Union Sect, the White Lotus Sect, and the Yin Sect.”

“As for the Yin Sect, the disciples inside cultivate some techniques that are extremely sinister. There’s a hall called the Poison Hall in the sect that specializes in techniques that cast poisonous worms.”

“Back when 1 was still the Holy Maiden of the Heaven Earth Sect, I had participated in the battle to annihilate Yin Sect and fought against many of those Poison Cultivators.”

“These worms can be cultivated into many types. There are Love Worm that can control the lust of living beings, Anger Worm that can make living beings irritable and angry, Illusion Worm that can make living beings fall into illusions, Reverse Worm that can make living beings fall into a chaotic state where they can’t differentiate between friend and foe, and Corpse Worm that can control corpses.”

“Among them, the one that left the deepest impression on me is Corpse Worm.”

‘Corpse Worm?’

Hearing this, Jiu Ji’s face turned even paler. She had a bad feeling.

Jiu Huayu’s strange behavior last night really gave off a lifeless corpse feeling when she thought about it.

“Don’t worry, Grandma definitely wasn’t poisoned by the Corpse Poison.”

Chen An noticed the worry in Jiu Ji’s eyes and reached out to pull her into his arms to comfort her gently.

Unfortunately, Jiu Ji’s worries could not be alleviated at all.

Her heart was in a mess now. She looked at Xiao Qingyue with worry and asked, “Sister Xiao, what’s so special about the Corpse Worm? Why does it leave a deep impression on you?”

Xiao Qingyue fell into hesitation and was not in a hurry to answer her question.

However, after thinking about it, he finally said truthfully, “The reason why Corpse Worm left a deep impression on me is that Corpse Worm can control the corpse to move as it did when it was alive. It looks no different from a living person and doesn’t look like a corpse at all.”

“The parasitic Gu in the corpse will continue to devour the flesh and blood of the corpse and slowly grow stronger. Only when the body is strong enough to completely occupy the entire corpse will it break through the remaining skin and become the appearance of the parasitic corpse when it was alive.”

“During this process, the corpse will gradually become wooden and stiff until only a piece of paper-thin skin is left.”

‘Her expression was wooden, and her limbs were stiff…’ When she heard these words, Jiu Ji’s heart had already fallen to the bottom.

It matched.

It all matched.

Her grandmother, Jiu Huayu, had suddenly sat up in bed at midnight last night. It completely matched the description.

Moreover, she heard the sound of flesh being eaten and torn from her grandmother’s body.

“No, Grandma won’t die…”

“I’m thinking too much. I’m definitely thinking too much…”

“No, I have to see Grandma!”

Jiu Ji could no longer sit still. She immediately got up and rushed to Jiu Huayu’s room.

Chen An and Xiao Qingyue did not stop her. Instead, they followed her because the two of them knew the truth.

Creak—

Jiu Ji pushed open the door to Jiu Huayu’s room and hurriedly walked in, shouting, “Grandma, I…”

As soon as she said that, she stopped.

It was the scene in front of her that froze her on the spot.

Jiu Huayu, who looked extremely normal before she fell asleep, was standing motionless by the bed like a puppet. A squirming bump appeared on the beautiful mature woman’s face, and an extremely subtle sound of flesh eating came from the bump.

“No! This isn’t true!”

Jiu Ji, who had reacted, shouted hysterically.

Her voice was very loud. The wives and daughters in the other rooms were woken up and came out of their rooms.

Seeing that Jiu Ji was about to break down, Chen An cast a ‘Sleepy Time Spell’ on her, causing her to fall into a half-asleep state.

For a moment, he wanted Jiu Ji to fall asleep completely. Then, he would use the ‘Amnesia Technique’ to erase her memories and bring her back to the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect as if she had never been to the Demon Realm.

However, on second thought, he felt that it was a little unfair to deprive Jiu Ji of her right to know. He only used the ‘Sleepy Time Spell’ to ease her emotions.

“Husband, what happened?” Shen Qingyi’s voice sounded from outside the door.

The alarmed wives and daughters did not enter the room without permission. They stood outside the door sensibly and asked.

Chen An said to them, “All of you go back to your rooms. 1’11 tell you when I’m done.”

“Yes, we understand.”

Shen Qingyi responded and returned to her room with her sisters and daughters.

After setting up a soundproof array and completely isolating the sound in the room, Chen An looked at Xiao Qingyue and asked,

“Qingyue, can you tell what’s going on with Jiu Ji’s grandmother?”

“If I’m not wrong, she should be controlled by the Corpse Worm. Jiu Ji’s grandmother must have died long ago…”

Xiao Qingyue said unhappily..
