Rong Chu would never have thought that the person he eagerly wanted to catch had made one of his palaces a center for her activities. The clothes, the mask, and the stilts, which changed Gu Xijiu’s height and disguised her, were hidden safely here.
The poisonous creatures found in the vicinity were extremely dangerous for many but for Gu Xijiu, who was good at dealing with poisons, these creatures were free ‘medicine’ instead. Each time she came, she would catch a few back to extract the poisons for future use. In fact, the poisonous creatures were afraid of her. They always took a detour each time they saw her.
It was the same this time when Gu Xijiu appeared in the main hall of this ice-cold palace. The poisonous scorpions, rats, and ants which were typically scattered all over the floor, went missing.
