Ch 92: Extracting The Gu

Now Wu Zhuogong, in Wang Bufan’s form, possessed an indifference that everyone failed to notice.

Wu Zhuogong looked at these ordinary mortals.

In the eyes of ordinary people, these were all powerful figures without exception.

But in Wu Zhuogong’s eyes, they were all just expendable lives.

Compared to himself, they were simply a bunch of monkeys without magical power!

He could manipulate them at will!

“Wanmo, you look very nervous?”

Wu Zhuogong asked gently, looking at Lin Wanmo, who was holding his arm; her body was somewhat stiff.

“Bufan… I’m fine, I’m just a little unwell today.”

Lin Wanmo, distracted, forced a weak smile at Wang Bufan.

The current Wang Bufan, in the eyes of both Lin Wanmo and others, was the perfect husband.

Wang Bufan would not engage in extramarital affairs, and there were no rumors about him.

Moreover, he was capable and caring.

After a brief time spent with Wang Bufan, Lin Wanmo realized that he was a man who was perfect beyond reproach.

But precisely because of this, Wang Bufan, such a perfect man, made Lin Wanmo feel unreal.

And for some reason, Lin Wanmo subconsciously felt that Wang Bufan in front of her was somewhat hypocritical.

He seemed to be wearing a mask, presenting a flawless mask to everyone, but in reality, he was unfathomable…

Lin Wanmo didn’t know why she had this feeling.

Perhaps it was because Lin Wanmo did not love Wang Bufan and did not understand him.

Perhaps, as brothers from the Wang Family, Wang Tianxun, whom Lin Wanmo had deeply loved before, had drifted away without her knowing when.

From childhood to adulthood, Lin Wanmo had wholeheartedly loved only Wang Tianxun.

Perhaps, it was because of a girl’s first love in her youth.

Wang Tianxun… how wonderful it would be if he were still like that.

Lin Wanmo vaguely remembered that Wang Tianxun in the past was exactly like Wang Bufan now.

Commercial genius, rising star, young and promising… these words were previously used to describe Wang Tianxun.

Perhaps because Wang Tianxun was exceptionally capable and a top performer among young talents, Lin Wanmo chose him without hesitation…

But she didn’t know when.

Wang Tianxun began to indulge in pleasure, became dissolute, and gradually became the Waste Wang Family Young Master people talked about.

At first, Lin Wanmo still held onto a glimmer of hope for Wang Tianxun.

But later, Wang Tianxun was idle all day, even addicted to beauty and debauchery.

Lin Wanmo was completely disheartened.

The former Wang Tianxun was gone forever.

…

“It should have been two years ago, I don’t know when, my mind was like a mess, I couldn’t even understand simple financial statements, and I would get a headache as soon as I used my brain… I… I couldn’t control it.”

“I found out… my commercial acumen was gone… My company also went bankrupt because I was useless…”

“I thought I had run out of inspiration… but I did sink for a period of time.”

“But at that time, I also began to discover that my desire in that aspect was particularly strong… Obscene desires lingered in my mind, and I couldn’t control it at all!”

Wang Tianxun spoke to Zhang Buran, seeming somewhat embarrassed to say it.

When Wang Tianxun discovered his strong desire, he had once sought out Lin Wanmo.

At that time, Lin Wanmo was already Wang Tianxun’s girlfriend.

Wang Tianxun had proposed having sexual relations with Lin Wanmo.

But Lin Wanmo refused, saying she wanted to save that for after marriage.

“At that time, I was already greatly affected by the failure of my business. After getting completely drunk once, I finally lost control… I made a mistake.”

“When I realized that I had had relations with a woman I didn’t know well, I couldn’t undo it; the desire in my mind was particularly strong… You might not believe it, but if I didn’t have sexual relations for a few days, I would be very uncomfortable, even incredibly itchy, like ants crawling on my skin. I tried to control it, I wanted self-discipline, but I couldn’t suppress that feeling at all!”

“And I couldn’t stop… When I came to my senses, I had become the dissolute young master who was obsessed with women…”

“They all say so, so I might as well be as they say… I am a dissolute Young Master! I like women, so what!”

Wang Tianxun suddenly became very excited and irritable.

“And that woman Lin Wanmo, how dare she break up with me, doesn’t she like me? How dare she break up with me, how dare she!”

“Calm down, stop.”

Zhang Buran pressed down on Wang Tianxun’s restless shoulders.

A stream of spiritual power poured into Wang Tianxun’s mind, suppressing the Gu Insect that was raging within his skull.

This dissolute Wang Family Young Master, perhaps his true nature was not like this, but his personality had changed drastically because of the Gu Insect in his body.

Zhang Buran was helping Wang Tianxun now simply because he was interested in the Gu Insect in his body and wanted to extract information about Wang Bufan.

“I understand the situation now.”

“Perhaps it’s the Gu Insect in your body, or perhaps it’s your true nature… I don’t want to get involved. If you want to remove the Gu Insect, cooperate fully with me, and I can force it out. But the process might be painful.”

“Then Daoist Zhang, what should I do!”

Hearing this, Wang Tianxun’s eyes lit up.

Wang Tianxun attributed his previous business failure and personality change to his lack of inspiration and the resulting mood swings.

But now, a strange person suddenly appeared and told Wang Tianxun that it was because of a Gu Insect in his body, and that he could remove it. How could Wang Tianxun not be excited?

“This process will be very painful, you must endure it. If you can’t endure it, all the effort will be wasted, and the Gu Insect may run around in your brain, messing your head up and causing you…” Zhang Buran made a throat-slashing gesture.

Wang Tianxun’s back felt cold, and goosebumps arose all over his body.

But after only a moment’s hesitation, Wang Tianxun’s eyes were filled with determination: “Daoist Zhang, please help me!”

He wanted to return to his peak!

“Okay, open your mouth wide! I’ll count to three, then I’ll start casting the spell.” Zhang Buran said.

“Ah!”

Wang Tianxun obediently opened his mouth wide.

“Three!”

Without giving Wang Tianxun a chance to prepare, Zhang Buran pointed with one hand, injecting a stream of spiritual power into Wang Tianxun’s forehead, and with the other hand, starting from a claw-like shape, he unleashed a powerful suction force.

In just a moment, a severe headache followed, and Wang Tianxun suddenly felt his vision blur, his mind shook, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart, his head felt like it was going to explode!

“Ah——!”

A scream echoed throughout the room, Wang Tianxun screamed in unbearable pain.

The next moment, Wang Tianxun felt as if something was struggling violently in his mind, as if it would crush his brains.

A suction force came from Wang Tianxun’s mouth, as if it was sucking out the Gu Insect that was wreaking havoc in his mind.

“Don’t close your mouth, if you close your mouth now, all the previous efforts will be wasted.” Zhang Buran reminded him.

Wang Tianxun mustered his great strength and struggled to keep his mouth open.

A moment later, a thin, black, thread-like thing flew out of Wang Tianxun’s mouth.

Zhang Buran, quick-witted, caught it.

“The Gu Insect!”

Zhang Buran’s eyes lit up, he opened his palm and looked at the thin black insect trying to escape in his palm.

This black insect had a slender body, like a black wire, like an iron wire worm, but its slender body was wrapped with circles of red patterns.

This was the Gu Insect that had been living in Wang Tianxun’s body!
