Chapter 867 - King of Various Venomous Insects and Witch Empress

Chapter 867 King of Various Venomous Insects and Witch Empress

If she missed merely one of these things, it would be impossible for her to have such an association.

But Lin Mengya was sure that the underground city where the Divine Witch lived could not be the paradise city they were looking for.

But the creation of the Divine Witch was very likely to have something to do with the paradise city.

Because the people of Lieyun believed that they were the descendants of the King of Various Venomous Insects and the Witch Empress.

All kinds of legends were also somehow related to the paradise city and the Guwei State.

What was the relationship in it? Even she and her uncle didn’t know.

She subconsciously took out the slate in her arms and rubbed it. Apart from Baisu and Xiu, only the protectors knew what was on the slate.

Her thoughts drifted into the distance again. She did not know what kind of secrets were hidden in such a mysterious land like Lieyun.

She hoped that the day she revealed the secret would not be too far away.

“Miss, you seem to have something on your mind?”

Ningqiu took a curious look at the slate in Lin Mengya’s hand, but there was nothing special about it except for some small dots on it.

“Well, do you know the legends about the King of Various Venomous Insects and the Witch Empress?”

Lin Mengya felt that the closer she got to the King of Various Venomous Insects and the Witch Empress, the more she thought that the two people who only existed in myths had extraordinary backgrounds.

It seemed that so far, all the secrets and traditions of Lieyun Empire had something to do with these two people.

Compared with deities, she was more willing to regard them as strangers that she had never met before.

She was even more curious: “Why did these two people still have such a high status in Lieyun people’s hearts after thousands of years?”

“The King of Various Venomous Insects and the Witch Empress? I think they are very similar to the Emperor and the Madame Jingrou!”

Although Ningqiu was deep in the imperial harem, all the folk legends were familiar to her.

There was a hint of yearning in her eyes. This was a story that everyone in Lieyun knew, and it was also what every Miss in Lieyun yearned for.

“Legend has it that the King of Various Venomous Insects was once the most powerful king. He created the unique technique of producing venomous insects in the Lieyun Empire and was the most powerful master of it in history. Later, he met the beautiful and gentle Witch Empress. The Witch Empress was probably a deity. She fell in love with the King of Various Venomous Insects after seeing his heroicness. When the King of Various Venomous Insects saw the Witch Empress, he immediately fell in love with this beautiful deity. They held a grand wedding. From then on, they lived happily together.”

Looking at Ningqiu’s yearning look, Lin Mengya shook her head.

It was like every modern girl had a dream of being a princess.

How could girls who grew up hearing these legends not want to become the Witch Empress in it?

She collected her thoughts. There were many secrets about the King of Various Venomous Insects and the Witch Empress waiting for her to explore.

But more importantly, she had to solve the problem in front of her.

“Well, sooner or later, the person who belongs to you will appear. By the way, I have one more thing to tell you. After arriving at the Xin Family, it is not convenient for me to show up. So if there is anything, you can tell Baisu and others. Once you have established yourself in the Xin Family, you can ask to move to the house next to the Pool of Various Venomous Insects, with only some followers. At that time, we will quietly sneak in. Once we succeed, we will be much freer.”

The chosen witch had many privileges, and in order to maintain her innocence and nobility, she had to live in isolation.

Because the Emperor had abducted the last chosen witch before, she was afraid that Ningqiu would be watched more severely then.

Usually, the residence next to the Pool of Various Venomous Insects would only be opened when someone needed to go there to cultivate.

This was because it was not easy for anyone other than the chosen witch to get inside.

The entrance and exit were guarded by the masters and venomous insects.

Not to mention that someone could abduct her, it was impossible to even meet her.

Therefore, Lin Mengya was confident that as long as Ningqiu was confirmed, they would live in the courtyard next to the Pool of Various Venomous Insects.

At that time, no one would watch over her. So, if she disappeared for the time being, she would not attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

Ningqiu nodded and carefully kept everything in her mind.

She knew that she had to be careful in the Xin Family, so she had to engrave Helan’s words deeply in her mind.

“Also, according to Madam’s instructions, you have to undergo a series of strict investigations in order to become the chosen witch. Except for Xiaoyu and me, you can’t trust anyone else. Even if they are not from the Xin Family, or someone tells you that he is sent by the Emperor or the Madam, you can’t believe a word from them. Unless we come here in person, you should not believe the news of others. Do you understand?”

Ningqiu nodded seriously. She naturally understood.

Besides, she had lived in the palace, so she was naturally suspicious and refused to trust strangers easily.

After a few more admonitions to her, the horse carriage reached the first stop.

The four had just jumped out of the carriage when they were greeted by someone.

“Your excellencies have been arranged by the Majesty. Please, Misses and Childes.”

The man lowered his voice, took out a secret letter written by the Emperor, and handed it to Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya calmly took it over and looked at it carefully several times before she put down her guard for the moment.

Since it was prepared by the Emperor himself, she thought that there wouldn’t be any problems.

“Thank you very much.”

They followed the man into an inconspicuous inn behind him. There were not many things in it and not many people, but it was very clean and tidy. It was not like a wild inn near the village.

They would stay here for two days, and then switch to a new carriage for the journey.

And this was Ningqiu’s first stop to undergo demonic training.

They settled down a little. They were protected by the people of the Emperor at all times. The small and wild inn was not crowded with customers, so they attracted little suspicion and attention.

In the backyard of the inn, Lin Mengya was still buried in the pile of herbs. No one was allowed to enter her room except Baisu.

Rubbing her brow a little tiredly, Lin Mengya stretched her back as she looked at the herbs in her hands that were beginning to show results.

In fact, she had been studying how to successfully let Xiaoyu control the royal venomous insect these days.

She had tried a lot of methods, but none of them worked as well as her blood.

Madam had told her that if Xiaoyu could not completely control the royal venomous insect by himself, he might be hurt by the royal venomous insect in the end.

Thus, she had to try her best.

But the royal venomous insect was so powerful that she could only speed up her research.

“You have to raise your head and look down upon everything. Yes, and be a little steadier on your feet. Don’t smile, and don’t show a look of disgust for anyone. It’s like you look down on everyone. It’s not because they’re weaker than you, but because they’re not worthy of your attention.”

Qinghu’s impatient voice came from outside the window.

This guy had always lacked the necessary patience when it came to people other than Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya clearly knew this.

But due to Lin Mengya’s request, Qinghu could only teach her patiently.

Through the window, Lin Mengya saw that outside, Ningqiu was scolded by Qinghu and her eyes turned red.

That guy’s words had always been very sharp, and he didn’t have any good words for Ningqiu.

He had said loads of swearing words like “idiot” and “dummy”, and she did not know where he had found a three-finger-long plank of wood.

As long as Ningqiu did something wrong, the plank would fall heavily on her.

Although the sound was not loud, Qinghu was a master of martial arts. He knew exactly the pain that Ningqiu might not endure.

“I’ve been talking about it for a long time, but why can’t you do it? What I want is to ignore everything, not to be overcautious. Is it because you are used to being a slave that you don’t know how to be a master?”

After another round of scolding, Lin Mengya could clearly see the red corners of Ningqiu’s eyes. She was barely able to hold back her tears.

She sighed slightly. In fact, Ningqiu might not have seen the chosen witch who was an icy beauty before.

After all, all the women in the palace would go after the Emperor’s favor.

Who would put on a long face and act as a cold beauty all day?

It was really difficult for Ningqiu to learn this kind of feeling that she had never seen before.

Since Lin Mengya was also tired, she might as well go out and help them.

“You are a bit too mean as a teacher. I asked you to teach her patiently, but I didn’t say that you could take her as a punching bag.”

There was no joy or sorrow in her cold voice. Her voice was unhurried but not slow.

A pair of tender hands pushed open the door of the room and moved lightly. A cold and pretty face appeared in front of the three people, as if she was otherworldly.

Qinghu’s eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Lin Mengya. He immediately darted to her like a rabbit.

“That’s what I want. Did you see that?”

Qinghu smiled and pointed at Lin Mengya’s face, as if he was treating her as a teaching tool.

“Well, stop it.”

The soft female voice sounded ethereal. Lin Mengya’s eyes and eyebrows seemed to be frozen, and her true emotions could not be felt at all.

Just like what Qinghu had said, her gaze did not avoid anyone, yet it was impossible to say who she was looking at.

Ningqiu looked at Helan in a daze, as if she wanted to keep all her appearance in her mind.

In this way, she wouldn’t forget it.

“That’s it. There’s nothing difficult about it. You just need to practice a few more times. The so-called desireless is to hide your deep thoughts. And you, teach her well. Don’t show a perfunctory attitude. Be careful that if I am unhappy, you’ll die.”

Qinghu showed a mouthful of white teeth and naturally knew what she meant. If he did not follow the rules, Lin Mengya would definitely make sure he died a miserable death in the end.

He immediately swore to heaven that he would be a patient and careful teacher. Only then did he make Lin Mengya sit aside instead of looking at him coldly.

“Miss, you seem to value Ningqiu very much. In fact, she will only stay there for half a year. Why should you bother so much?”

Baisu handed over a soft and warm handkerchief and let Lin Mengya wipe away the medicine powder that had stuck to her hands.

However, there was a flash of glint in Lin Mengya’s eyes.

With a voice that could only be heard by two people, she said, “Half a year? No, I changed my mind. If everything goes well, I hope that before the Xin Family is completely controlled by Xiaoyu, Ningqiu can continue to be the chosen witch.”
