After the Heart-Eating Insect entered the young man surnamed Zou's body, it immediately gave him a taste of its power. The young man rolled about on the ground, wracked by agony, feeling as though the insect were biting off and swallowing his heart mouthful by mouthful. His once-handsome face twisted out of all recognition from the pain.
Lu Xiaotian shot Luo Ping'er a sidelong glance. He had not expected this woman's methods to be so ruthless, that she had actually collected something so sinister and venomous. She looked delicate and frail, but her heartlessness did not lose out to that of any ordinary man.
"Please do not misunderstand, sir. I obtained this Heart-Eating Insect only after killing an insect cultivator and finding it in his spirit insect pouch. I do not possess the ability to raise a Heart-Eating Insect." Seeing the strange look in Lu Xiaotian's eyes, Luo Ping'er hurriedly explained.
"Why tell me any of this? We are merely cooperating for the moment. Once we learn what is written on the Azure Script Iron Scroll, you and I will go our separate ways, each taking the broad road to the heavens." Lu Xiaotian waved his hand. He had indeed originally intended to force Luo Ping'er to hand over her Golden Core-level puppet.

Luo Ping'er curled her lips. She had previously wanted to part ways with this dark-faced young man, but now it seemed that, with his overwhelming combat strength, she would inevitably have to rely on him for this trip
