Chapter 698: Chapter 697 Bone-Devouring Worms

A figure leaped in from outside.

It was Hongchou.

Hongchou fixed her gaze on the bamboo basket in Ye Qingying’s hand and laughed, "Beiming’s top assassin, is this the life you wish to live? To be a mere, ordinary fisherman?"

Ye Qingying remained silent, his expression towards Hongchou growing even colder.

Hongchou continued with a smile, "Do you think that by hiding here, His Majesty won’t find you? Have you forgotten that you have her poisonous insect within you?"

"You!" Ye Qingying’s palm tightened, nearly crushing the bamboo basket!

He had fallen for Yu Linglong’s ruse!

He had so much trust in Yu Linglong, never expecting that, in order to control him, she would actually plant a gu within him!

"You see, the breath of this poisonous insect in your body will always leave a trace, making it not difficult to find you. How could you possibly escape?"

"What’s more, without His Majesty’s medicine to suppress it, the gu will act up before long, and then you will be in such pain that you’ll wish you were dead. Where could you possibly go?"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Ye Qingying was expressionless.

Xiaoyao was in a room not far away, and their conversation could startle her at any moment.

"Her Majesty has changed her mind now, she wants you to cripple Feng Yexuan’s martial arts," Hongchou said.

Ye Qingying wanted to laugh, his face full of irony, "You know that’s impossible for me, I’m no match for Prince Yexuan."

"There is someone who can do it." Hongchou curled her lip, smiling pleasurably, "You should know that in the past two days since you’ve left, people from Prince Yexuan’s residence have been searching for her everywhere."

Ye Qingying certainly knew.

Outside, it was all Prince Yexuan’s men.

If it weren’t for Xiaoyao’s mastery of the so-called makeup technique, they would likely have not been able to deceive them.

Ye Qingying was not wearing a mask at the moment.

Xiaoyao had used some so-called makeup products on his face, altering it considerably; now Ye Qingying looked like a fisherman in his forties or fifties.

Aside from being relatively tall and slender, when he deliberately restrained the aura peculiar to himself and hunched his back slightly while walking, there was truly no trace of Jian Wuying to be seen.

That’s why Hongchou, upon seeing him for the first time, looked down on his identity as a fisherman.

Not a whiff of the assassin’s aura remained.

As for Xiaoyao, she had dressed as a boy and was quite convincing.

"I can’t do it, and neither can she," Ye Qingying said coldly.

"Whether she can or not isn’t for you to decide, but our Empress knows that only she can get close to Prince Yexuan."

Hongchou took two steps back towards the window.

"Jian Wuying, don’t even think about killing me to escape. As long as the poisonous insect remains within you, you absolutely cannot escape."

Ye Qingying’s tightly clenched fingers slowly loosened.

Just now, he truly had wanted to kill her to silence her, then take Xiaoyao away.

But this woman’s eyes were sharp, piercing his intentions with a single glance.

"It seems you are still unwilling to work for Her Majesty the Empress..."

"She’s not the Empress, she’s..."

"Jian Wuying, it appears you’ve truly forgotten your place!"

Hongchou’s expression darkened as she suddenly pulled out a small flute and began to play.

This was the first time Ye Qingying had heard such flute music.

As the melody began, he felt a shock throughout his body, followed swiftly by pain that spread rapidly throughout.

All over his body, it was as if countless Bone-Devouring Worms were gnawing at him, not just chewing through his flesh, but also his internal organs.

Pain!

In just an instance, the agony was so intense that blood dripped from his nose, a terrifyingly fast occurrence!

"Her Majesty knew you would be disobedient; hence, this flute was specially crafted for you!"

Hongchou laughed as she continued to play the flute.

"Jian Wuying, this is the consequence of your disobedience, savor well the taste of Bone-Devouring Worms!"

Ye Qingying was still striving to endure.

But in the end, he couldn’t help but collapse to his knees with a thud.

The Bone-Devouring Worms caused excruciating pain, tearing at his soul.

He hated that he couldn’t slap his own crown chakra!

But he didn’t even have the strength to lift his hand.

At that moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside.

Xiaoyao’s voice called out, "Master!"
