Chapter 147: Origin
"Good," agreed Lady Mu, and she went with Lady Xia to change her attire.
After they left, several men, including Master Xia, turned to look at Xia Xi.
Xia Yue and Xia Xi sat back down in their original positions, and the system hopped onto Xia Yue’s lap, eyeing the Ghost Poisonous Insect imprinted on the yellow paper in Xia Xi’s hand.
"[This thing looks edible, I kinda want to give it a try.]" The system looked at the Ghost Poisonous Insect and said to Xia Yue.
"Could you please not want to try everything? How can you even think about trying something so disgusting? The taste must be terrible." Xia Yue rolled her eyes at it and said.
"Xia Xi, could you explain in detail what this thing is?" Master Xia asked as he looked at Xia Xi.
"This is a type of poisonous insect forbidden to be bred in the Miao Region, and only elders have the knowledge to breed them. But to my knowledge, it requires a considerable cost and very stringent conditions to successfully breed this insect, it’s not an easy task.
Only the master can control this insect, and it cannot be controlled over a long distance. Elder members of the Miao Region will not leave their region casually, and if they do so, they need to report to the local Special Department."
"The Ghost Poisonous Insect, lives by absorbing ghostly Qi. Whoever is targeted by it will slowly have their vital energy drained clean. Even after death, their soul will be consumed entirely, preventing them from reincarnation. This insect would only be used by someone who harbors intense hatred for you. Do you have anyone who hates you this much?" Xia Xi finished speaking and asked Master Xia.
The old men looked at each other and thought carefully about whether there was such a person, they all shook their heads after failing to identify anyone.
"[Ask Xuanxuan, it should know who the insect was heading to. It should be easy to investigate if you know this.]" The system reminded Xia Yue.
