Chapter 706: Chapter 544: The Soul-Devouring Python Dandan Wants

All members of the Phoenix Family deserve to die!

That includes Gu Changsheng!

A bone-chilling viciousness flashed across Dodu Zhi’s aged face as she stared at the stunning woman before her!

Because she was of the Phoenix Family, she had readily agreed to Xiangka Tianji’s request to come out of seclusion!

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng was taken aback for a moment. The massacre of the entire Dudu Family, was it the doing of the Phoenix Family?

Damn it, alright, this body’s birth mother was from the Phoenix Family, so it seemed like she had to take responsibility for everything, good or bad!

In fact, she was bloody reluctant!

She could have been obediently staying in Liuzhou City as Prince Changsheng, leading a peaceful life in preparation for marriage. But what happened? She was forced to plunge headlong into the Southern Border, and she hadn’t seen her son for months!

Damn it!

”Stay far away from me, lest you drag me down!” Sensing the presence of Han Qiu and Xiao Cui hidden nearby, Gu Changsheng spoke in a stern voice.

You see, it would have been great to venture into the Southern Border alone. Now she even had to bring along a burden, beautiful as a flower but useless as a lump!

It was, truly, distressing!

”Dudu old witch, cut the crap. I’m passing through, I’m heading to the Great Swamp Mountain, I will rescue my son! I will annihilate the Xiangka Clan! If you want to kill me, then prepare for your death! Come at me!” The red hem of her dress fluttered as Gu Changsheng spoke indifferently.

This old witch of Dodu, she was the reinforcement brought in by Xiangka Tianji!

Then let her see what a true master of Gu in the Southern Border really looks like!

”Keke... so presumptuous! Meet your death!” Dodu Zhi spoke no further as her black robe billowed in the wind.

In an instant, a giant python, ten feet high and as thick as a thigh, appeared behind Dodu Zhi.

”Holy shit!” The fine steed Gu Changsheng was riding immediately became restless. Cursing under her breath, Gu Changsheng’s complexion changed as she dismounted swiftly and nervously looked at the giant python that slithered forward, standing in front of Dodu Zhi.

Dammit!

Is this really Gu?

Aren’t Gu supposed to be tiny, like little insects?

Something is off about this size!

”Dandan Bug, what in the world is this thing?” Gu Changsheng felt like dying and couldn’t help asking in her mind.

”A Soul-Devouring Python! A Gu that can devour living souls...” Dandan Bug sat cross-legged, nodding determinedly, ”Yep, it’s a Soul-Devouring Python. It’s Gu, just a bit larger in size...”

It looks delicious, but sadly, it’s out of reach...

Dandan Bug felt a profound sense of regret...

”How do I get rid of this python? Dammit, I’m scared of snakes!” Gu Changsheng got goosebumps all over, swallowed hard, and spoke.

Gu Changsheng was a person of great courage, but she had an innate repulsion toward these slithering invertebrates!

Especially seeing its wet, greasy body, Gu Changsheng instinctively felt a deep sense of horror!

”Dandan’s Mom, you’ve got to take it! You’ve got to take it! It’s a very difficult Gu to rear, it takes decades to raise just one, you can’t just kill it!” Dandan Bug climbed up and spoke anxiously.

The Chonghua Dagger in Gu Changsheng’s hand was already positioned at her wrist, ready for bloodletting. Hearing Dandan Bug’s words, she paused momentarily.

”What the hell do you mean? What do I want with a snake?” Gu Changsheng said, curling her lip.

”For fighting! Dandan’s Mom, this Gu is not easy to raise. It has to absorb spiritual energy from the heavens and the earth, and it takes hundreds of years to raise one like this. If you take it, someone can help you tame it. You have to trust me!” Dandan Bug spoke with excitement.

”Uh... well, can we pick another Gu to snatch? I’m scared of snakes!” Gu Changsheng spoke sheepishly, ”Let’s kill this one and find a furry one, how about that?”

Furry Gu, those that look cute like rabbits or kitties, were her type, but not these pythons!

She preferred to draw blood directly and destroy them!

”Dandan’s Mom, you’re thinking too much! All the Ten Thousand Gu in the Southern Border, except for me, are hairless!” Dandan Bug blushed and licked its own fluffy pelt with a sense of shame.

From a certain perspective, it was actually the odd one out among the Gu...

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately glared. Damn it, they’re all hairless?

All Gu are hairless!

This realization utterly shattered Gu Changsheng’s self-pride! Her solitary journey to the Southern Border was wholly due to Dandan Bug’s relentless persuasion. Dandan Bug’s sole reason was that she would meet many masters of Gu and could have many Gu at her disposal!

Now, Dandan actually told her, all Gu, damn it, are hairless!

No hair!

So are they all just wriggling worms with different reminders?

”Dandan, let’s get out of here, I’m regretting this!” She no longer wanted to subdue the Gu insects. Without their help, she would definitely find it hard to make any progress on her own. Gu Changsheng felt that she should just obediently return to Red Sun City and continue to follow the strategic approach of guns and artillery combined with bombardment...

”Dandan’s Mom, how can you flee from battle! Everyone’s Dandan’s Mom is a hero who wouldn’t bow down even under Mount Tai’s Overwhelming Pressure!” Upon hearing this, Dandan Bug immediately protested.

”You’re absolutely wrong! I’m someone who cherishes my life—I’d be crushed by a single straw, let alone Mount Tai not bowing!” Gu Changsheng sneered and replied without hesitation, dammit, things like integrity and other such magical stuff, she didn’t have any of it!

Not even a bit!

”Woo... Dandan’s Mom, how can you be like this... you promised to give me Gu to tame and train...” Dandan Bug was on the verge of tears.

”That was before you told me, dammit, that all the Gu were hairless!” Gu Changsheng countered without hesitation!

Looking at the Soul-Devouring Python in front of her, spitting its red tongue and surrounded by a strong stench, Gu Changsheng really had no intention of capturing it; she was actually very keen on destroying it!

Having no choice with the bowstring drawn and the great battle imminent, Gu Changsheng’s Chonghua Dagger was once again covering her wrist, ever ready to draw blood and kill the Gu!

”Woo woo... Don’t, Dandan’s Mom! The Soul-Devouring Python is really, really rare! It’s nourished by gathering spiritual power from heaven and earth. Having its soul-devouring power might help me leave your body and find a Gu to inhabit!” Seeing this, Dandan Bug was truly on the brink of tears.

The rarity of the Soul-Devouring Python was also one of the reasons for Dudu Zhi’s exalted status at the Southern Border!

Having this Gu, it would be no exaggeration to say she could dominate the Southern Border!

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng stopped with the Chonghua Dagger in her hand, ”Are you sure? It can help you leave my body?”

”Yes, yes, yes! Let’s take it back and nurture it, and when the time is ripe, it will be able to help me!” Dandan Bug said, nodding his head immediately.

A glint of cold light flashed in Gu Changsheng’s eyes. Regardless of how feasible Dandan’s words were, Gu Changsheng was willing to do it to allow Dandan to become independent from her flesh and blood!

Dandan Bug had shown her great kindness, and she herself did not wish to restrain it for a lifetime!

If there was a chance to peel it away, she definitely would not let it slip by!

”This score! I’m on it!” A firm look flashed in Gu Changsheng’s eyes as she spoke in a grave voice.

Meanwhile, Dudu Zhi was laughing wildly on the other side. She had unleashed her Soul-Devouring Python, and Gu Changsheng had actually fallen off her horse, appearing too frightened to speak. Dudu Zhi had really thought Gu Changsheng was incredibly capable to be so arrogant, but now it seemed she wasn’t much after all. Faced with her Soul-Devouring Python, she was still scared, wasn’t she?

Little did she know, the Gu Changsheng she thought had been scared had already discussed deeply with Dandan Bug about whether to capture this Soul-Devouring Python!

Although its appearance left much to be desired and freaked Gu Changsheng out a bit, for Dandan’s sake, damn it, she was ready to tough it out and do it!

She damn well needed to capture this Python!

Damn it!

This was pure coercion!

”Soul-Devouring Gu, the person before you is the Feeder of the King of Witch Gu. Swallow her and devour the deity of the Gu King, and you might have the chance to advance to the rank of Gu King. What are you waiting for? Swallow her for me!” Dudu Zhi spoke with guile, her lips moving in chant.

The Soul-Devouring Python, which had been hovering motionless in front of her, seemed to awaken all of a sudden with Dudu Zhi’s moving lips. It flicked its red tongue faster and spat out thick, fishy saliva which dripped down the corners of its mouth. The grass and trees on the ground withered and turned black immediately...

”Crap! The damn snake is poisonous!” Seeing this, Gu Changsheng took a step back and cursed softly.

”The Soul-Devouring Python feeds on the souls of the living; it’s poisonous from head to tail! Dandan’s Mom, be careful! If you kill it, you become the Feeder, and it will be yours!” Dandan’s small voice echoed in Gu Changsheng’s mind.

”Dammit, there’s nothing tougher than this!” Facing the onrush of the Soul-Devouring Python, Gu Changsheng cursed softly and met it head-on. For the sake of Dandan’s liberation from her body, even if she detested snakes, she had to go all out!

As the Soul-Devouring Python drew near, it brought with it a wave of putrid smell!

The odor was like that of rotten corpses, yet with an even more repulsive fishy stench...

Gu Changsheng felt her stomach churn, nearly vomiting from the smell, but with the Feeder’s command, the goal of the Soul-Devouring Python was simple and brutal.

That was, to swallow the woman before it!

As it flicked its red tongue in and out, the Soul-Devouring Python’s eyes, as large as eggs and blood-red, gleamed with a murderous intent. Unexpectedly agile, the Python swung its tail with eyesight-like precision directly at Gu Changsheng, bringing a foul wind with it...

Looking at the incoming tail, Gu Changsheng’s Inner Strength gathered in her palm, the misty white Inner Strength appearing solid. But in the next second, Gu Changsheng pulled back her hand, relying on her agile figure to dodge to one side.

This Soul-Devouring Python was what Dandan Bug wanted!

She couldn’t harm it!

After one plan failed, a ferocious look flashed in the Python’s blood-red eyes as it turned its head around and flicked its tail, attacking once more.

Unable to use her Inner Strength to harm it, Gu Changsheng obviously felt restricted and couldn’t fully engage in battle!

The pervasive fishy stench was seriously about to knock her out.

Repeated attacks failing to hit the woman before it, the Soul-Devouring Python was on the verge of exploding in rage. Turning its head again, it opened its wide maw and lunged at Gu Changsheng...
