Panwang suddenly stopped walking, and Duobao knew they had reached their destination.
Sensing Duobao's thoughts, Panwang glanced back at him and sneered. "What? A disciple of the Interception Sect's Saint is afraid of such trifling poisons? Relax. My Gu Worms only bite those harboring ulterior motives."
