The pink slug in the man's palm squirmed slowly, seemingly expressing its affection. Its touch was warm, perhaps because it had just devoured flames. He extended his finger to tease the Gu Worm in his hand. It was the first time this mother worm exhibited its might after being in his body for more than four months.

"No wonder Yue Yue said when she gave you to me that you were a rare breed she personally cultivated with great effort, and that only she could raise you in the world today."

"Let me guess, did that girl use Li Fire as your feed?"

"Otherwise, how could you not fear fire and even swallow it whole, Cloud Fairy ... no, I should call you Aunt Yun, and in the future, mother-in-law as well."

"Indeed, the difference between a Central Plains Noble Family and local natives is significant. No wonder each is eager to send foreign students out to bring back some novel ideas, with evident results."

His heart was full of respect for his future mother-in-law because, among all the Southern Border people he had met, the Cen Family Village was undoubtedly the most unique. While disciples from other families were still competing in toxicity, only the Cen Family Village forged a new path with poison resistance.

While other families were still stubbornly focusing on Gu worms and breeding methods, the disciples of the Cen Family Village had already evolved into many cultivation factions. After mastering the most basic Gu Technique skills, they gradually shifted their attention to realm cultivation and physical resistance.

With the Jade Radiance Palace's heritage, the cultivation techniques she could offer and the culture and cultivation path she taught were overwhelmingly dominant throughout the Southern Border. Combining Gu Techniques with the path of cultivation, a whole new path was opened, just as no one could have anticipated that the Southern Border Saintess, whose body was full of Gu Poison, would suddenly turn into a Fire Phoenix and burn you to ashes.

Continuously teasing the slug in his palm with his fingers, there was no so-called disgust or nausea. When the two touched, there was even a sense of a bloodline connection, as if it was indeed a part of his own body.

This little guy, when inside him, had a faint strand of his Divine Soul injected into it, and he constantly fed it with Spiritual Energy and blood. It was no exaggeration to call it a part of his body.

Three years ago, during the snitch incident at the Cen Family Village, people from the Hou Family Village sneaked into the Cen Family and took Xu Huoyao out, much like the snitch incident at the Purple Cloud Palace. The difference was that the Cen Family Village reacted quickly and had backup plans prepared.

With continuous pressure and hunting down, in the end, they even had the old Clan Leader of the Southern Border personally mediating. Although Hou Zhongxiao's life was spared, he couldn't return to his clan and eventually had to flee to Long Country.

During this process, the well-known Gu Poison incident broke out. Countless people, either to seek longevity or cure diseases, willingly took Xu Huoyao, becoming test subjects. The results, as witnessed by all, showed that the Xu Huoyao cultivated was not perfect, leading to uncontrollable situations.

Later, the Cen siblings were responsible for cleaning up the mess, and Jiang Feng participated. However, the Xu Huoyao at that time was exceedingly feeble. Just by using the Fire Rune Technique, he could clear them all. Yet, three years later, the same Gu worm had already developed resistance to fire.

He wasn't foolish, and soon understood how Yue Yue managed it, smiling wryly.

"No wonder she said only she in this world could raise you."

"Ordinary people wouldn't dare let you inside their body. Even Hou Zhongxiao could only experiment on ordinary people, not daring to allow you into his flesh for fear of mishaps, but Yue Yue is different."

"She possesses Li Fire within her body. Even when letting unfamiliar Gu worms enter, she doesn't fear causing any trouble. Just using a tiny bit of might could probably completely suppress these poisons."

"To be able to eliminate the sole weakness of fearing fire, it seems this is your complete form. In the future, you could be essential for murder, robbery, and burglary. Even when Yue Yue gave you to me, she didn't mention your insatiable appetite... eh?"

Just as he teased with his finger, his expression suddenly changed because the three-petaled mouth of the slug opened and directly clamped onto his finger!

He did not feel any pain nor did the little guy misbehave. Instead, he discovered that pure and powerful flesh energy was continuously seeping from the slug's body through his skin, entering his finger, and integrating with him.

This scene made Jiang Feng's expression fill with surprise. If not mistaken, these should be the Essence Blood from the bodies of those Southern Border Disciples.

Though not abundant in quantity, it was refined to extraordinary purity. Crucially, from this mother worm, he sensed a feeling of satisfaction as if, after being sated, it divided a share for him to taste.

"You possess such an ability?"

Opened his mouth in astonishment.

However, a Gu worm is ultimately just a Gu worm. Although they are intelligent and possess the instincts of animals, it doesn't mean they can speak. There's still a significant difference in spiritual intelligence compared to ordinary Spiritual Beasts.

Feeling its master's joy, it continued to snuggle against Jiang Feng, expressing intimacy—a sense of dependency, as if it considered Jiang Feng its mother, attempting to convey its affection for the mother in its way.

This is why Cen Yueyue entrusted this mother worm, especially a very young and precious one newly cultivated, to Jiang Feng. Only by nurturing the mother worm in its infancy within the body could Jiang Feng assume the role of the mother, gaining control over it, rather than merely being a host who could be replaced at any time.
