Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

Chapter 908 908: (Seven)

"Sister, is my sister mad? Why isn't my candied hawthorn sweet anymore?"

Meng Qianqian felt both pained and amused.

This girl's illusion was actually eating candied hawthorn.

Next, they encountered Chen Long and Lu Yuan.

Much like the scene in her imagination, her brother had destroyed everything around, with the determination to tear the town apart if necessary to escape.

"I also realized it was an illusion. Several times I thought I'd walked out, but every time it was a new illusion again."

Chen Long said, suddenly realizing something and asked warily, "Could this be another new illusion?"

Meng Qianqian couldn't help but laugh: "No, brother, the Golden Silkworm Gu is awake."

"How did it wake up?"

Since entering the desert, the little thing had fallen asleep, Chen Long was sure of it.

Meng Qianqian explained about meeting the man: "I guess... he also has a Gu worm, and his Gu worm awakened the Golden Silkworm Gu."

"A Miaojiang person?"

Chen Long was puzzled.

Meng Qianqian: "Maybe he was just affected by a Miaojiang Gu."

"You weren't hurt, were you?"

Chen Long asked.

Meng Qianqian shook her head: "The Golden Silkworm Gu is the King of Ten Thousand Gu, his Gu worm can't harm me, but the fact that it can awaken the Golden Silkworm Gu suggests it's a formidable Gu."

She grew increasingly curious about the man's identity.

He seemed connected both to her father and Miaojiang.

"The hairpin..."

Chen Long spoke.

Meng Qianqian gestured to her pouch: "I snatched it back."

Chen Long: "Next time, if he asks for it, give it to him. I'll take it back, you don't take risks."

Meng Qianqian smiled: "Alright."

Chen Long: "Good girl."

Lu Yuan chuckled.

Chen Long frowned: "What are you laughing at?"

Lu Yuan glanced at the obedient-looking Meng Qianqian: "Bet ten thousand taels she'll snatch it again next time."

Meng Qianqian: So you just can't let things slide, can you?

"What was your illusion?"

Meng Qianqian asked Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan casually replied: "I had no illusion."

Meng Qianqian: "How could that be?"

Lu Yuan: "Why not? I just didn't have one. I found this place at the same time as you, did you find me trapped in an illusion?"

Meng Qianqian recalled that she had to wake the others, but not Lu Yuan.

"Why didn't you experience an illusion?"

Even with the Golden Silkworm Gu, she was trapped for a bit.

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Some secrets can't be revealed."

Chen Long: "Ha, playing mysterious."

Lu Yuan said playfully: "Is the elder brother-in-law jealous that he can't match me?"

Chen Long: "You'll get it."

Hardly a quiet moment had passed before the two seemed ready to bicker again, so Meng Qianqian quickly intervened: "Alright, alright, let's hurry and find Si Snake!"

Chen Long looked around: "Strangely, everyone else is here, but he's missing, despite being most familiar with Ancient Phoenix Town."

Meng Lang said mockingly: "Maybe he's off meeting an old acquaintance again?"

"Old acquaintance? Could it be—"

Meng Qianqian suddenly remembered the man who stole her hairpin.

She focused: "Heavenly Silkworm, take me to him!"

Meng Lang widened his eyes in disbelief: "Seriously, can a bug understand your command?"

Meng Qianqian: "Yes, are you envious?"

Meng Lang muttered: "Envious? I'm not envious."

Was he just envious?

He was insanely jealous! Next time he saw the Miao King, he'd insist on getting a bug to play with!

Meng Qianqian's bond with the Heavenly Silkworm Gu wasn't this harmonious from the start; it was through constant companionship and deepening trust that the Heavenly Silkworm seemed to become part of her.

Her eyes, her ears, her consciousness.

She led the way forward.

Chen Long suddenly asked Lu Yuan: "If the Heavenly Silkworm Gu is so powerful, why didn't your grandfather give it to you?"

Lu Yuan: "I guess I was just picked up."

Chen Long: "Ha, thought so."

Lu Yuan: "..."

So you came here just to mock me?

Lu Yuan looked at Meng Qianqian's back, returning to the point: "Never has a Gu Master reached such a level of human and Gu unity. She's the first."

Chen Long asked with surprise: "Not even the Miao King?"

Lu Yuan: "As far as I know, the old man and his Life Gu couldn't achieve it."

The Miao King could drive his Life Gu for himself, but not attain the harmony between Meng Qianqian and the Heavenly Silkworm.

He touched his chin, "Maybe the old man saw something early on when he gave her the Heavenly Silkworm Gu?"

Chen Long, full of pride: "My sister is better than all of you."

When Meng Qianqian found Si Snake, she found him fighting with that man.

It seemed Si Snake had also broken the illusion.

The two were evenly matched.

However, the man suddenly sensed something and sharply looked over to where Meng Qianqian was.

The next moment, his eyes flickered and he threw a handful of powder at Si Snake before fleeing swiftly.

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow: "He fears you a lot, huh."

Meng Qianqian said: "He's afraid of the Golden Silkworm Gu in me."
