Nangong Yi, upon seeing Cai Wei bitten by the insect, noticed a blood line on her neck and was immediately panicked. He rushed to check her injury.
In that distracted moment, the slightly larger Gu bug suddenly landed on his nape and viciously bit down. Immediately, a vivid blood flower burst forth on Nangong Yi's nape, extravagantly bright.
Nangong Yi, in pain, clutched his neck.
As he raised his hand, the larger Gu bug, having fulfilled its mission and found a host, slid to the ground and quickly died.
Cai Wei looked at the bodies of the two golden bugs, one large and one small on the ground, and murmured, "Yi, it seems... we both... have been poisoned by Gu…"
Nangong Yi looked at the bloodstains on Cai Wei's neck with heartache, his eyes gathering a killing aura.
"Damn it—"
Gritting his teeth and with veins bulging on his forehead, he grabbed Cai Wei and strode towards the Sleeping Hall.
