Sunday, August 8th, at 10:56 am.

Wei Fuyuan got off the high-speed train and did not even have time to eat lunch, so he took a taxi, headed straight towards Cai Mingjian and Su Lan’s home.

Since the black shadow Lynx was no longer with Su Lan, the only one who could act as the guard was Jiang Nan’an, but unfortunately he injured an arm and was not available to help. If the “Will” attached to the gold bracelet returns, Su Lan could be in grave danger.

As the situation became grave, Bei Quan gave a solution for a way to ensure Su Lan’s safety for the time being.

Su Lan was now wearing a bathing suit whilst soaking in the bathtub at home, with many unusual things having been added to the water, such as- chicken blood, the throat bones of chickens, dog teeth, and even a pot of child’s urine.

Jiang Nan’an and the others went out in a hurry to collect those items as,of course, they didn’t bring such items with them.

These bizarre materials that make any “normal person’s” hairs stand up on end just by listening to their name, were all prepared with the help of the eldest sister of the Su family.

The first sister of the Su family heard that her brother-in-law had hit his head and was taken away by an ambulance, and was being rushed to the hospital. Unexpectedly, she received a call from her sister, asking for her to go back to the B&B to help prepare some things.

When the first sister of the Su family received the list of peculiar items from Su Lan, she almost thought her sister had gone crazy from the shock of everything.

Su Lan quickly made an excuse that the Taoist priest wanted to use it all for a spell. Ultimately, after much wrangling, she persuaded her sister, also managing to get her little nephew to provide a pot of urine, finally able to gather the supplies together.

The method that Bei Quan taught Jiang Nan’an was to cover Su Lan’s own aura with materials that were strong in Yang Qi.

If things went well, Su Lan could hide like this until Bei Quan retrieved the gold bracelet from inside her home.

Although it was midsummer, it was still very uncomfortable to be soaking in a vat of strange smelling liquid for a long period of time, plus, Bei Quan couldn’t guarantee whether this method would be effective or how long it would last for.

The good thing was, it seemed that Bei Quan’s plan had worked.

At least from the time Wei Fuyuan left the hospital to rush back to Fengxing City in the six hours, Su Lan did not encounter any more accidents.

When Wei Fuyuan eventually arrived at Cai Mingjian and Su Lan’s apartment building, he hopped out of the taxi then hurried upstairs, unlocking the door with the key Su Lan gave him.

The young couple bought a small three-bedroom apartment of about ninety square feet.

The decoration, although not luxurious, was very warmly arranged, and it seemed that a lot of thought had been spent on it.

The house was very messy, and there were sundries left uncluttered everywhere. Cai Mingjian and Su Lan left their house in a hurry, not having time to clean up after themselves.

Wei Fuyuan ran straight into the master bedroom, pulling open the dresser drawer, finding a black velvet jewelry box. He carefully opened it: inside was a really golden bracelet, laced with auspicious clouds and beads.

Young master Wei, coming from a rich family and having seen a lot of good and expensive things since childhood, knew at a glance? that this bracelet was a handmade antique. Being inlaid with an Eastern pearl with excellent quality- just the year, materials, and craftsmanship showed that the bracelet was worth at least a few hundreds of thousands.

“Tsk!”

Wei Fuyuan smacked his tongue hard.

He remembered Bei Quan’s advice and did not dare to touch the bracelet with his bare hands, only carefully placing the box on top of the cabinet as if treating the object like a flammable and explosive time bomb, proceeding with gentle movements.

“When she saw this bracelet, didn’t Su Lan feel strange?”

Even if friends had a good and close relationship with each other, such expensive, antique jewelry would still be considered too much.

Not to mention that Su Lan didn’t even ask for it, but the other party took the initiative to lend it to her.

It was hard not to ponder in the direction of conspiracy theories, things seemed very strange—no matter how one was to think about it.

After learning that the “culprit” was this bracelet, Bei Quan immediately contacted Zhu Ling, asking for her to help investigate the identity and whereabouts of Su Lan’s best friend.

Wei Fuyuan estimated that, with Zhu Ling’s usual efficiency, the results should almost be ready by now.

Thinking of this, Wei Fuyuan couldn’t help but take out his phone again and send a text message to his beloved Bei Quan.

[Are you there yet?]

———————————

Bei Quan did not reply to Wei Fuyuan’s message, but half an hour later, the doorbell rang.

Wei Fuyuan leaped to the door in two steps and pulled the door open.

Bei Quan was standing outside with a smile on his face, waving.

Wei Fuyuan immediately grabbed Bei Quan by the arm and dragged him inside, inexplicably hugging him tightly, locking his boyfriend firmly within his arms.

Only now did Master Wei really realize how not seeing each other for a day is like three autumns.”

Even though only two days had passed, Wei Fuyuan missed his sweetheart terribly, as if he hadn’t seen him for six years. He pressed his face against Bei Quan’s temple, and nibbled on his ear, as if he were a big dog who was rubbing wildly against his master. 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝗹．𝐧𝐞𝘁

From the time he learned that Bei Quan was coming over, Wei Fuyuan had repeatedly envisioned what he should do once he arrived.

Originally, he thought he had to look more mature and stable.

He wanted to tell Bei Quan everything that had happened to him since they last saw each other. Like, how he broke into the small temple alone, the heroic subjugation of the lynx spirit and how he wanted to prove himself to Bei Quan that he was capable of doing a mission alone.

Unfortunately, no matter how carefully Wei Fuyuan had planned this scenario, the instant he saw Bei Quan’s smile, all prior calculations were tossed out of the window, leaving just “I miss him so much” floating around in his head.

Bei Quan’s ears became red and itchy from big dog Wei rubbing and smoothing himself against him.This was it, he couldn’t help himself anymore. Suddenly, Bei Quan reached out and grabbed Wei Fuyuan’s collar, pulling him close, pressing his lips tightly against his.

A full and continuous five minutes later, Bei Quan and Wei Fuyuan finally separated, both parties looking rather embarrassed.

Their clothes were disheveled, their lips were red and swollen, and their key parts were inevitably felt.

“All right.”

Bei Quan gently patted Wei Fuyuan’s cheek, “Let’s get down to business first.”

Wei Fuyuan ground his teeth fiercely.

He wanted to overwhelm his lover right now.

But, young master Wei knew that now was not the time to indulge in lust.

He lowered his head, biting hard on Bei Quan’s lips. Taking the other party’s hand, he walked towards the master bedroom, “Come, the gold bracelet is here.”

Bei Quan followed, and instantly saw the gold bracelet resting on the table.

The bracelet was indeed beautiful, exquisite, and luxurious.

It was not even tainted with a trace of Yin Qi, it appeared so “clean,” not looking like something that would kill people.

Bei Quan took out a pair of thin black silk gloves from his black briefcase and placed them onto his hands.

Wei Fuyuan stood by closely and asked in a curious tone,

“What are these? Why does the texture look so strange?”

Bei Quan always had been very patient with his diligent and studious little boyfriend.

“This pair of gloves are woven with a special kind of silk.”

He replied.

“Wearing them is equivalent to a protective shield that can block most of the spells or curses from the artifacts.”

Wei Fuyuan focused on the definite word “most”.

“Most of them? What if you come across those that can’t be blocked?”

Bei Quan smiled faintly, “Then, one can only suffer.”

Wei Fuyuan’s face immediately changed and he grabbed the hand that Bei Quan was reaching out to pick up the gold bracelet, “What if this bracelet is one of those?!

Bei Quan rolled his eyes jokingly and smiled.

“It doesn’t matter. Try not to worry, I’ll be fine.”

He gently struggled and he slipped his hand out of Wei Fuyuan’s grip,

“The person this bracelet is targeting now is Su Lan, and until she dies, it won’t threaten anyone else.”

Bei Quan said, gently picking up the bracelet and holding it in his hand, turning it around as he inspected it carefully.

Wei Fuyuan watched his movements warily. After waiting for a while, he didn’t notice any changes, and he then felt relieved.

He frowned and asked, “What exactly is the origin of this thing?”

Bei Quan appreciated the antique and looked at it carefully, then put it back inside the jewelry box, sighing gently.

“Marry the ‘Golden Silkworm Gu’.”

Bei Quan turned to face Wei Fuyuan, asking.

“Have you heard of it?”

Wei Fuyuan was slightly shocked and shook his head, asked, “What does that mean?”

Bei Quan took off his gloves, grabbed Wei Fuyuan’s hand, and wrote the three words he just said in one stroke onto his palm.

Golden Silkworm Gu? Are you talking about the ‘most poisonous poison in the world?’ It’s odorless, flavorless and impossible to guard against from “The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber”.

Wei Fuyuan thought for a moment.

“I heard that raising the Golden Silkworm could help people to earn money. Maybe within the old man’s circle of businessmen, there were those who ran to beg for it…”

“Haha.”

Bei Quan heard this and laughed.

“Then, you must remind your father that any present offered to him by the one who asked the Golden Silkworm Gu, must be refused.”

Wei Fuyuan blinked and asked curiously, “Why is that?”

Bei Quan explained to him the origin of the so-called “Golden Silkworm Gu”.

There are some discrepancies with the folklore but, what Bei Quan refers to, is a general term for a type of Gu art that uses poisonous insects as the main material. However, it can be divided into many categories according to the purpose of the maker and breeder, such as diseases, murders and even money-making.

But, no matter what their reasons for raising the Golden Silkworm Gu, feeding it requires the owner’s essense of flesh and blood. The appetite of the golden silkworm will get increasingly bigger and bigger, until the owner just can’t bear it.

At this time, the owner will “marry the Golden Silkworm Gu”.

The method is a very simple one—as long as the Golden Silkworm Gu is entrapped in something, such as clothing, shoes or any other valuable object, once placed? somewhere where many people come and go, if someone was to pick the item up, the Golden Silkworm Gu would follow that person to their home, and thus, remain with them, eventually leading to the so called “marry the Golden Silkworm Gu.”

Another method is to mix the Golden Silkworm Gu as a gift, handed directly to the recipient. As long as the other party accepts, this is another way of “marrying” off the Golden Silkworm Gu.

The original owner will no longer be connected with the married Golden Silkworm once it has been handed over. The former owner doesn’t care about what happens afterwards to those who become entangled with poisonous insects.

“You are saying that ……”

After listening to Bei Quan’s explanation, Wei Fuyuan looked at the gold bracelet with horror in his eyes, as if it was not an exquisite and beautiful antique jewelry, but a poisonous spider that could instantly kill people. “Is there a Golden Silkworm Gu on the bracelet?!”
