Lin Xiaotian narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing within them. "Big beauty, do you know how many chances I've given you?"
"Just because my wife had a good impression of you, you also gave my wife a lot of warmth."
"But that was a long time ago. You gradually changed later."
"Even though you were also compelled, you still succumbed."
He wasn't deliberately deceiving Chu Qiaoyu.
This was the last chance he was giving Chu Qiaoyu.
Chu Qiaoyu wore a mocking sneer. "How I choose is my life, yet you dare not lay a hand on me."
"Otherwise, you would have acted long ago."
"I've already investigated you very thoroughly. Your personality is decisive and ruthless. You absolutely wouldn't give me so much time to talk."
"Since you haven't acted now, it means you're afraid, you have reservations."
"Your reservation is Chu Nianxue."
Her words seemed to carry a sense of triumph.
Lin Xiaotian sighed. "Big beauty, why must you do this?"
"What do you mean?" Chu Qiaoyu frowned deeply.
"Why must you force my hand?" Lin Xiaotian suddenly flickered, and in the next moment, he appeared before Chu Qiaoyu.
His gaze was filled with icy coldness.
In his hand, he held an extremely tiny insect. "I sensed it when you attacked me just now, but I ignored you. I gave you multiple chances, yet you took it as capital to push your luck."
"You even tried to control me directly. I thought you were smart, but it turns out you're dumber than many."
"In front of me, you're no different than a slap."
"Me not bothering with you doesn't mean I have a good temper. It's simply that I care about my wife's feelings."
"If you want to play with Gu worms, then I'll teach you how it's done."
As he finished speaking, spiritual energy surged within his hand.
The scorching heat was as if she had fallen into a steel furnace.
Chu Qiaoyu's expression suddenly turned grim. "You have the Pure Yang Body?"
"Your poetry has reached..."
Her words were cut short as she couldn't help but let out a miserable scream.
The Gu worms she was cultivating, which were on her body, burrowed directly into her internal organs. The scorching process was unbearable.
This heat wasn't from burning fire.
It was pure, utmost Yang spiritual energy.
"Big beauty, this is just the beginning. You have so many little bugs on you, let me burn them for you."
"Once I burn them all clean, you'll be completely pure, no longer carrying that filth."
As Lin Xiaotian spoke, the spiritual energy within him erupted rapidly, without any restraint.
Chu Qiaoyu could only let out agonizing screams.
Those Gu worms were like countless fragments of her soul that had been split off.
Once contaminated by that pure Yang spiritual energy, they would burn to death.
It lasted only a few minutes.
Chu Qiaoyu collapsed onto the ground, her body convulsing uncontrollably, as if she had just been pulled out of water. Sweat had soaked her entire being.
Lin Xiaotian smiled. "Big beauty, now you're completely clean."
"There's no need to clear out those little bugs anymore. Shouldn't you thank me? After all, women fear those little things the most."
Hatred flashed in Chu Qiaoyu's eyes, her face now twisted and far from beautiful.
At this moment, she looked more like a vengeful spirit crawling out of hell.
Her voice, hoarse and sharp, shrieked, "Lin Xiaotian, you will die a horrible death!"
"Even if I can't defeat you, someone will surely put you to death, and they will come soon."
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "Big beauty, I already knew what you were thinking. I can't let you be with my wife, otherwise, who knows if my wife will be led astray by you."
"What exactly do you want to do?"
A hint of terror flickered within Chu Qiaoyu's contorted features.
Although she didn't sense any killing intent from Lin Xiaotian, she felt a prickle of dread, especially when facing his playful gaze. She couldn't help but shiver.
Lin Xiaotian grinned. "I told you earlier that I would teach you how to play with Gu worms. Now I can let you have a look."
As his voice fell, his fingers parted slightly.
A thread-like insect, as fine as a hair, instantly disappeared from his palm.
Chu Qiaoyu clearly felt the insect crawl into her nose.
"What are you doing to me? What is that thing?"
This time, her voice was devoid of anger or malice, only pure terror.
Lin Xiaotian's face remained wreathed in a bright smile. "It's nothing formidable. Just a brain-eating worm."
"It's very obedient. It usually stays hidden on me, needing no food for decades, remaining in a dormant state. But once it senses my anger, it awakens."
"Now it should have crawled into your head. You can try to feel it, is it wriggling?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qiaoyu's face contorted in extreme fear.
She could indeed feel it, and the worm was indeed moving around inside her brain.
The pain was so intense that her head felt like it was about to explode, causing her to cry out in agony.
Lin Xiaotian's hand moved, and a silver needle plunged down.
Chu Qiaoyu's voice abruptly ceased.
Lin Xiaotian chuckled. "Your suffering has only just begun. Don't panic. I can control this little worm. For instance, I can make it stop right now."
At that instant, Chu Qiaoyu felt a sense of relief as the pain receded like a tide.
Tears streamed down her face as she trembled, pleading, "Give me a quick death. Don't torture me like this anymore."
Lin Xiaotian chuckled. "You are my wife's aunt, and you were so good to her. How could I possibly let you get hurt? Much less let you die. This little worm entering your brain is to prevent the Gu you were implanted with from erupting."
"Now, you can tell me who is behind you."
Chu Qiaoyu's pupils contracted slightly, and she shook her head like a rattle. "I cannot say."
"As soon as I mention his name, the Gu worm planted in me will erupt. Please, spare me!"
At this moment, she was nothing like her former self, only weeping and begging.
Lin Xiaotian, however, smiled. "I already told you earlier that my little darling here would pull out the worms in your brain."
"You didn't believe me, so let me show you!"
