Ghost Husband: The Beloved of the Underworld
The Angry Gods

Fang Lei still did not say a word, his expression indifferent, his thin lips pursed lightly, which was his agreement.

Seulgi said angrily: "This is just a study abroad. If you want him, I'll let him do it. Why do you want to kill me like this!"

Jaemin hurriedly held onto her shoulder and let her lean in his arms. But Seulgi was still unable to stop coughing, and ended up coughing until he spat out a mouthful of black blood.

The eyes begin to dim, and the dizziness returns.

Inevitably Seulgi grabbed Jaemin's sleeve, tried to stabilize his body, it seemed like he was too emotional just now, and the poison in his body would explode again.

“She's out of time.”

Xiaolei who fell to the ground suddenly said, silently looking at him with a pale face. Jaemin's eyebrows froze, and his face was ice-cold in an instant. He grabbed Xiaolei by the neck, stopped every word, and said in a cold voice: "If something is wrong with her, I want you to be buried with her."

She smiled sadly: "Bury him? Better to be buried with him than to be sacrificed to worms."

A worm? What'd he say?

Just then, Jaemin had already hugged her onto the sofa, warm currents flowing from her palms, and gently touched her forehead.

Jaemin used his internal strength to suppress Gu's poison for Seulgi.

After some time, Seulgi's dizzy brain finally regained its clarity, and Jaemin gave him another pill, which was the Gu awakening pill given by Daoist Xu, but it could only relieve the pain caused by Emperor Gu temporarily.

To uncover Gu, only the person who threw Gu was alone.

Inevitably Seulgi looked at Xiaolei, and asked gently, "What do you mean by sacrificing the worm earlier?"

She did not answer him, but instead showed a helpless wry smile: "Do you really think that I am just due to a matter of studying abroad? Did I secretly kill you? It was just a trivial matter, and there was no point wasting my Gu."

"Why did you do it then?" Seulgi silently clenched his fists, reaching the limit of his patience.

Fang Lei stared at Seulgi for a bit, then suddenly lowered his head and bit his sleeve.

At this moment, his hands were tied by Seulgi, so he could only roll up his sleeves with a strange posture.

Seulgi did not understand what he was doing, but as soon as he lifted his sleeve, he immediately exposed a bowl-sized scar on his arm.It was a dark red scar left behind by the fire, which was extremely ugly.

"Did you see it? This is the trail left by the fire in our house fifteen years ago."

After a pause, he asked Seulgi, "Can you take off the rope for me?"

Seulgi could not help but look at Jaemin. Ask opinion.

Jaemin did not speak, and walked a few steps to release Xiaolei.

As soon as his hands were free, he immediately went to tear the skin off his face.

Inevitably Seulgi was surprised, watching him slowly peel off a piece of flesh-colored skin from his face, revealing a face that was originally full of scars.

When his face was completely torn apart, Xiaolei slowly stood up and stared straight at him.

It turned out that he had used the Incognito Technique!

"You can go undercover? So during the day, you pretend to be the officer who gave us the fake map?"

Fang Lei smiled without commitment, which was his standard.

It turns out that she is good at disguising herself, and usually pretends to be an ordinary girl.

And now, that's what he really is.

Half of his face was burned beyond recognition, with a terrible and frightening red scar.

“The scar on my face was also caused by a fire at home when I was young.”

He opened his lips and showed a strange smile: “Do you think this scar is ugly?”

Dia menatap Seulgi sambil tersenyum, seolah menunggu jawabannya.

Seulgi was stunned for a moment, he did not know what to say, such a huge scar was left on his face, of course it was ugly.

No, Fang Lei smiled and said: "In your eyes, this scar is naturally ugly, but in the eyes of that insect, it is a symbol of beauty."

Seulgi became even more confused and urged impatiently: "What do you want to say?"

Fang Lei looked puzzled, gently stroked her scar, and said to himself: "Since I have a scar on my face, why was I chosen to be Heavenly Mother?"

The voice was cold and resolute, revealing the struggle against destiny.

Heavenly Mother!

Seulgi suddenly recalled that Taeyong mentioned that day that Seulgi was almost sacrificed to the Centipede King as the Heavenly Mother in the Centipede Cave.

Soon, Seulgi was enlightened, and finally understood why Fang Lei had poisoned him!

Seulgi had heard the legend that centipedes had been worshipped as gods since ancient times in the Miaojiang area, like their ancestors, and the local people regarded them as omnipotent gods.

Every twenty years, the gods would choose a beautiful human girl from the Miaojiang area to be sacrificed to the leader of the gods, who was also the centipede king.

Right now, Seulgi finally understood that the Heavenly Mother mentioned was referring to the human girl who would be sacrificed to the King of the Centipede and mate with him to reproduce.

Only in this way will the gods continue to bless the Miaojiang people, protecting the local people from natural and human disasters.

This was what the Centipede King said when Seulgi was trapped in the Centipede Cave, the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony.

Therefore, every twenty years, such a human girl would be chosen.

And Fang Lei was clearly that poor girl.

However, he was clearly unwilling to accept such a fateful arrangement. Seulgi did not understand why she had a scar on her face and was chosen to be the Heavenly Mother. Seulgi only knows that he does not obey destiny, but transfers this bad luck to him.

That day, he stuffed the poisonous flower cake into a special bag, which was different from the flower cake bag given to Jiang Shu'er and Irene.

Seulgi only thought it was a specialty from his hometown brought by his classmates, so he got his Gu, and because of this, Seulgi became the target of the centipede king.

Emperor Gu's body was a symbol of the sacrificial offering to the centipede king.

So, the bug sent a centipede to chase him off the train, and brought him all the way to the centipede cave. Fortunately, Seulgi was lucky enough to escape from the cave.

Come to think of it, Fang Lei followed him along the way, wanting to see if the plot worked.

Unfortunately, Seulgi did not fulfill his wish.

"So, you put Gu on me to make me sacrifice, didn't you?"

Fang Lei lowered his eyes, stroked his scar, and said self-pityingly: "I know I pity you, but I didn't do it. not willing to succumb to such a fate, why do I have to give birth to worms?"

This sentence infuriated him, you don't want to succumb to fate, why are you making fun of me?

Seulgi grabbed his collar and asked in a cold voice: "Stop talking nonsense! You made Emperor Gu, tell me now, how do I get rid of Gu?"

Fang Lei looked at him, with inexplicable sympathy in his eyes, but still spoke to himself.

She suddenly smiled, revealing a hint of sadness: "Soulgi, look, how beautiful your face is. Only a girl like you should be dedicated to the Centipede King to become a Heavenly Mother."

Plaque!

Seulgi slapped Fang Lei hard, right on the scar.

He trembled, and immediately covered his scar, his eyes were already a little clear.

"Seulgi, you know what? The insect thinks human women with scars are the most beautiful, so they chose me. Don't you think that's ridiculous?"

Inevitably Seulgi touched his forehead, what kind of aesthetic is this!

Seulgi suddenly recalled when he was in the centipede cave, the centipede king kept saying that he was ugly, and now Seulgi suddenly realized it.

It turned out that in her eyes, a face with scars was called beautiful.

Soon Seulgi felt very relieved. After all, when he was eighteen, it was the first time someone pointed towards him and said he was ugly, and it was still said by the ugly centipede. That was really surprising!

Come to think of it, centipede aesthetics are the opposite of human.

Fang Lei remained silent, and several tears had already fallen from his eyes. Seulgi looked at his pitiful expression with disdain, as if it was not him, but him who died soon after being poisoned.

Suddenly, there was a great tremor on the ground beneath his feet. Immediately, there was a rumbling sound outside the window, piercing through the sky.

An earthquake?

With a shake of his body, Jaemin hurriedly grabbed his shoulder and protected him in his arms.

The earth only shook once and stopped.

Fang Lei's eyes suddenly widened, his expression changed, he immediately ran to the window, looked at the dark night outside, and whispered softly: "Grandmother ..."

As if he suddenly remembered something, he ran towards the pavilion door in horror.

Seeing him about to escape, Jaemin flicked his finger, and Fanglei instantly froze on the spot.

She discovered that she could not move, so she could not help but cry loudly: "Please, please let me go first? I have something urgent to do!"

"Tell me first, how do I get rid of Gu." Seulgi looked at him coldly.

As a result, Fanglei looked anxious, hesitant for a long time, and told her that she was actually unable to finish it.

At that moment, Seulgi almost ran over and slapped her again, only to be stopped by Jaemin.

Seulgi was not as anxious as he was, but showed a hint of calmness: "You didn't play Emperor Gu, did you?"

Fang Lei was shocked, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Jaemin's eagle eyes froze, and a few flashes of cold light flashed: "Who's the mastermind?"

The low-pitched question, revealing an undeniable strength, made Fang Lei tremble.

Suddenly, there was another thunder outside the window, Fang Lei raised his head to look out the window in horror, and shook his head gently: "No, grandma will be fine ..."

Jaemin suddenly took a step forward and grabbed Fang Lei firmly by the neck, and asked in a deep voice: "Guard, is that your grandmother? He made Gu, right?"

Fang Lei's complexion changed drastically, and he shook his head in despair: "That's no grandmother's business! Its me. I did everything!"

His guilt-ridden denial made Jaemin guess correctly.

Jaemin chuckled in disdain: "Based on your level, you still can't get Emperor Gu."

Fang Lei tried his best to defend himself, but he could not fool Jaemin at all.

“Your grandmother may have been captured and taken to the centipede cave now?” Jaemin looked at the night outside the window and said quietly.

As soon as those words fell, the ground under his feet trembled again, and a furious roar sounded not far from the window.

Through the window, Seulgi saw many local Miao people standing on the street outside, they walked from their bamboo house to the street, their faces full of horror, they looked at each other, glancing into the distance, they looked at each other, and glanced in the direction of the coming rumble.

Through the window, their discussion flowed in.

"That's god! Angry gods!"

"The trembling ground earlier, and the sound of thunder was the anger of the gods."

"Tsk tsk, who made the gods angry?"

At that moment, Fang Lei shouted from the window: "Grandmother!"

Immediately, he shouted to Seulgi: "Do you not want to cancel Gu? My grandmother can abort the Emperor Gu! I'll take you to find him now, let him go first. Will you let me go?"
