The truth revealed by Gu Lingyue was far too gruesome.
She was a walking corpse that should not have existed in this world, surviving by sheer coincidence, regaining her consciousness under the control of the Queen Locust.
According to her, individuals like her were not exceptions among the Nine Li Clan.
It was a mysterious man who had stitched her soul back together using the Soul-Mending Needle.
"Do you know where the Queen Locust is?" QingWu asked.
Gu Lingyue nodded. "I can take you there."
"Then let's go!"
Gu Lingyue struggled to her feet, and the Seventh King instinctively reached out to support her. Their eyes met, and Gu Lingyue gave a sorrowful smile.
"I'm sorry. I never intended to harm Nanling. Now it's time for me to repay back my debts."
QingWu had no interest in meddling in the emotional entanglements of this couple. She simply left a curt, "We leave in half a tea's time," before walking out of the room.
