Catching the Thief

Qin Xi and Han Shi did not say anything. Instead, they held their breaths and hid above the wardrobe.

When Madam Yunqing heard the ear-piercing alarm from the Gu worm, she immediately tensed up. She gave the two bodyguards behind her a look. The bodyguards understood and took out the daggers from their pockets before tiptoeing upstairs. Behind them, Madam Yunqing followed with a sharp and ruthless gaze.

The Gu worm was still letting out ear-piercing cries. This cry was like the chirping of cicadas. It was noisy and unsettling, making Qin Xi, who was pregnant, feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Han Shi bent his fingertip and flicked out a trace of true Qi. The true Qi hit the Gu worm like a bullet, causing it to explode. Only then did the ear-piercing sound stop.
