I'm farming treasure chests in the female-oriented world.

Chapter 99 Gu Technique

"So close?"

Xia Xue scanned it with her divine sense.

"A Thousand Faces?"

They're not looking for me, they're looking for Chu Mian.

Xia Xue glanced at Chu Mian out of the corner of her eye.

Mind reading!

Sure enough.

"This person's obsession with Chu Mian runs very deep."

While using her telekinesis to browse through the information about Thousand Faces in the dimensional space, Xia Xue used the Origin Tracing method to understand and supplement it.

"He Tingzhou, the contemporary leader of the Thousand-Faced He Family."

The name is quite nice.

"Thirty-eight years old, just opened the bridge between heaven and earth, and advanced to the rank of Xuan Master."

According to Shen Zhi Qiu, a thirty-eight-year-old Xuan Master should be considered a genius in the Xuan cultivation world.

"It turns out that the Thousand Faces elects a leader every three years. The old leader automatically enters the Council of Elders, and the oldest member of the Council of Elders automatically enters the forbidden area to sleep."

Like other Xuanxiu families, the He family does not rely on blood ties. In fact, they go a step further than other Xuanxiu families, actively entering the dark world and becoming one of the five giants. They initiate bloody trials to maintain the fighting power of the He family members.

"This system of a thousand faces is truly cruel."

Wait, sleep? A secret technique similar to hibernation?

If a Xuan Master is asleep for three years, then how many Xuan Masters are asleep in the Thousand Faces Forbidden Land?

Xia Xueqian swallowed hard.

"Is this the true essence of the Xuanmen sect?"

A glimpse of the whole picture through a tube.

If the He family is like this, other Xuanxiu forces are probably in much the same boat.

Xia Xue used her telekinesis to flip through the secret techniques and information related to slumber in the dimensional space.

"Such severe side effects? And they still chose to go into a deep sleep?"

Xia Xue shook her head.

"They really go to any lengths to preserve and pass on this tradition."

At the same time, their profound knowledge and experience are therefore unfathomable.

Xia Xue suddenly turned her head to look at Chu Mian.

What type of person do you like?

As Chu Mian turned the steering wheel, she glanced at Xia Xue, shook her head slightly, and said with a smile, "Xia Xue, are you having romantic feelings? It's normal at your age."

As expected, a psychology master would not easily steer the conversation toward his private affairs, much less reveal his secrets and hobbies to others.

However, Xia Xue hadn't expected Chu Mian to give a direct answer anyway.

Mind reading.

With her divine sense covering Chu Mian, Xia Xue looked at Chu Mian in surprise after hearing his thoughts.

"You like handsome guys? As long as they're handsome, it's fine?"

Xia Xue looked into He Tingzhou's appearance and, well, he was indeed quite handsome.

However, those eyes, like a snake's, were too cold and sinister.

Chu Mian raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Xia Xue.

"Of course not, how could I be so superficial?"

Xia Xue heard the thought and her brows furrowed slightly.

Do you dislike obsessive or stubborn personalities?

I thought of Chu Mian's work, "Forced Love."

Xia Xue understood.

I like handsome men, but I don't like obsessive ones. However, if it's forced love and I have no other choice, I wouldn't mind if he's handsome enough.

Xia Xue thought for a moment, then casually waved her hand, and a beam of black light entered Chu Mian's brow.

Chu Mian, being an ordinary person, naturally did not witness this scene.

Xia Xue said in a serious tone:

"If you ever find yourself imprisoned or forced into a situation that you can no longer bear, you can call out to me in your heart, and I will rescue you. No matter where you are or how powerful the other party is, you can always trust me."

Consider it repaying the favor Chu Mian owed.

Chu Mian looked at Xia Xue, who had suddenly become serious, with confusion, but still replied earnestly, "Okay, I'll remember."

After receiving Chu Mian's response, Xia Xue returned to her usual bored state.

As Chu Mian drove, he would occasionally glance at Xia Xue out of the corner of his eye, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Could it be that Xiaoxue discovered something?"

……

Lin Qian impatiently shook off the six or seven-year-old boy who was holding her hand.

"We've arrived at the children's park. Go play by yourself and don't bother me."

Little Pei Junyan pouted and looked at Lin Qian with a wronged expression.

"Mom, let go of me. Aren't you worried I'll get lost?"

Lin Qian sneered, glanced at the nearly ten bodyguards following them at a distance, and said with a sneer, "With so many people protecting you, you'd be lucky if you still got lost."

Little Pei Junyan pouted, hugged his Transformer toy, and ran off to play with the other children on the nearby lawn.

Lin Qian glanced at it briefly, then walked to the side without a care, took out her phone, and dialed the number she had been longing for again.

"Hey, He Ming, it's me. Have you arrived in Jiangcheng yet? I'm at the Children's Park. Yes, you can come anytime. Don't worry, I'll get rid of the bodyguards. The documents you need are on me. Yes, great! I can finally see Brother Ming."

Hearing the person on the other end of the phone hang up before she could finish speaking, Lin Qian's eyes showed some sadness, but her determination remained. Looking in the direction He Ming was pointing, she said, "Brother Ming, I will prove how much I love you."

As he spoke, he ran towards the west gate of the park.

The two female bodyguards immediately followed.

Chu Mian and Xia Xue stood not far from Lin Qian, watching her slowly run towards them along the road they were on. Chu Mian shook her head helplessly and said, "Judging from the symptoms, it seems like mind control, but using methods to intervene in mind control is completely useless. We have basically ruled out the possibility of mind control."

Xia Xue looked at Lin Qian, who was radiating a seven-colored light under the aura observation technique, and said with a smile, "Wait a moment, and you'll find out what's going on."

As Lin Qian drew closer, Xia Xue took a half-step towards the center of the road. Lin Qian, preoccupied with He Ming, didn't notice and bumped into Xia Xue.

Xia Xue's body remained as immovable as Mount Tai, while Lin Qian herself was knocked off balance and fell to the ground.

Lin Qian sat on the ground, angrily raised her head, stared at Xia Xue who was looking down at her with great interest, and cursed loudly.

"What are you doing? Can't you see where you're going?"

Amid Lin Qian's cursing, the system notification arrived as scheduled.

"A cameo appearance in 'I Woke Up to Find I'd Been Married to My Nemesis for Eight Years, and Our Child Was Six Years Old,' opening the treasure chest..."

"Max Level Secret Technique: Gu Technique"

"Gu Techniques: The art of witchcraft and sorcery has evolved from ancient times to the present day, and through continuous changes and evolution, it has incorporated the inheritance of all mystical arts related to Gu insects."

Flaws: Using one's body as a vessel, nourishing the Gu with one's Qi and blood, leads to physical weakness, the hissing of the Gu worms, difficulty in expressing emotions, and the ferocity of the Gu worms. If one's will is not firm enough, and the body weakens to a certain extent, it is extremely easy for the Gu worms to turn against one's will.

"Max level trait: Naturally born and nurtured by nature."

It was actually a form of Gu poison.

Xia Xue glanced in the direction of Yuncheng.

"It seems fate is truly against you."

Xia Xue looked down and then looked at Lin Qian again, and immediately understood what was going on with Lin Qian.

"So it was a love potion."

Xia Xue frowned slightly.

Love potions are generally exclusive to Miao women; how could a man possibly possess one?

and many more!

There are exceptions, such as inheriting the Love Poison.

However, this would have strong side effects.

Although a woman afflicted by the love curse will deeply love the man who is the master of the curse, the man will despise the woman from the bottom of his heart and will be unable to have any physical contact with her.

"I see."

Thinking about the phone call I had just overheard.

"Everything makes sense now."
