Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

Chapter 534 You're not a Wuren, so why can you control Gu?

Seeing that Zhuang Wu'an's tone was agitated and her aura was cold, Zhuang Xiaoye was afraid that she would harm Bai Yue, so he hurriedly stepped forward to block Bai Yue and explained urgently.

"Aunt Wu'an, the young master truly doesn't know the inner workings and drawbacks of the Gentleman's Sword Technique!"

"She simply felt that as a descendant of the Zhuang family, she had a responsibility to find the family's lost secret techniques, pass on the swordsmanship, and bring glory to the family. She had absolutely no intention of repeating the same mistakes or harming herself!"

"Descendants of the Zhuang family?"

Zhuang Wu'an's gaze swept over Bai Yue from head to toe as if he were inspecting merchandise.

"Could you be Xiaoye's child?"

Bai Yue stepped forward, met her gaze calmly, and clasped her hands in a fist and palm salute.

“That’s right, my mother is Ye Fei, the Queen of the Hundred Flowers Kingdom!”

"Ye Fei?"

Upon hearing the name, Zhuang Wu'an's face first showed a hint of disbelief, then revealed a strange and mocking expression.

"I personally witnessed their interactions back then. There was clearly affection in their eyes, and their every move was perfectly in sync. Yet, for some reason, one of them always avoided the other, while the other upheld the gentlemanly demeanor of a young hero. It was truly... I was worried for them!"

Her words contained a merciless sarcasm, yet they also subtly confirmed the vague but ultimately fruitless relationship between Bai Yue's parents.

Taking advantage of the situation, Bai Yue softened her tone and, with the respect of a junior to an elder, asked the question that had been lingering in everyone's minds.

"Grandmother, were those two undead guarding this place, unafraid of swords and spears, your doing?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Wu'an snorted coldly. Instead of feeling any remorse, his face revealed a twisted sense of satisfaction, as if he had finally gotten his revenge.

"Of course I did it! Helan Xue, that fickle and shameless woman! Zhuang Wuqiu, that heartless bastard! They actually betrayed me and killed my brother Wuzheng!"

She spat at the two lifeless corpses, her eyes filled with contempt.

"So I want them to suffer even in death, to become these inhuman, ghostly monsters, to guard my brother Wuzheng's grave and atone for their sins for all eternity! This is the retribution they deserve!"

Her voice was as sharp as a knife, every word filled with obsessive madness and hatred.

Rakshasa, standing to the side, couldn't help but frown and pointed out the key point.

"But senior, I've heard that the Corpse Control Gu is the core secret technique of the Black Poison Sect, and it's always kept secret. How could you possibly learn it?"

These words seemed to strike at Zhuang Wu'an's most painful memory. Her face instantly turned ferocious and terrifying. She abruptly turned her head to look at the eerie pool water that was shimmering with light. Her voice was filled with deep-seated resentment, and it was almost squeezed out from between her teeth.

"The secret techniques of the Black Poison Sect? Hmph! Isn't this all thanks to my hypocritical and utterly deceitful father? Otherwise, why would the poisonous bees in this forbidden area only recognize the bloodline of the Zhuang family?"

She completely lost control of her emotions, and her voice suddenly rose.

"My mother kindly saved him back then, but he deceived her with sweet words, making her betray her sect and follow him wholeheartedly, spending her life like a ghost in this dark and forbidden farm, as his mistress who could never see the light of day! Hahahaha..."

She threw her head back and let out a shrill and tragic laugh, the sound echoing and reverberating in the empty cave, carrying an indescribable sorrow.

"And I, this lowly bastard with half-Ukrainian blood, am naturally an important tool for maintaining the mechanisms of this forbidden area!"

She abruptly stopped laughing, her eyes sweeping around with venomous intent.

“From the moment I was born, I had to feed the poisonous bees with my own blood every day. My poor mother taught me all her skills, but until her death she made me listen to my father and be willing to give everything for the crops!”

"I thought I would rot away in this forbidden area for the rest of my life, until... until Brother Wuzheng discovered everything..."

When she mentioned the name "Zhuang Wuzheng," her ferocious expression softened strangely, a rare glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and her tone lowered, carrying an imperceptible dependence and sob.

"Only he... only Brother Wuzheng cared about me, secretly brought me medicine for my injuries, taught me to read, and told me everything about the outside world... He even fought with all his might to become the head of the manor so that he could rightfully protect me and stop me from suffering the pain of my bloodline!"

Her voice grew softer and softer, tinged with a hint of nostalgia.

"He gave me my freedom, allowing me to leave this hellhole. Although he did all this only because I'm his sister, he is the only person in this world... who has ever given me warmth..."

At this point, Zhuang Wu'an's gaze towards Bai Yue suddenly sharpened, his tone filled with an unquestionable question.

“However, since you are Ye Fei and Zhuang Xiaohan’s daughter, you are not a member of the Wu Clan! I have heard my mother say that the Gu is a sacred object of the Wu Clan, and it has always been nurtured and communicated by the current Holy Maiden using a secret method of blood essence. It is never easily revealed to the world. How could you, an outsider, possibly control the Gu!”

She had the blood of the Wu tribe flowing through her veins and held this sacred object in a deep-seated reverence. She could not tolerate anyone using the Gu to swindle and defile the sect's heritage.

Faced with this almost aggressive questioning, Bai Yue simply smiled calmly, and with a gentle lift of her fingertip, the plump, pure white Gu appeared, lying obediently in her palm.

"Is this..."

Bai Yue's voice was clear and calm, slowly spreading through the silent cave and clearly reaching everyone's ears.

“Grandmother, what your mother said is true. The Gu is indeed a sacred object of the Black Poison Sect and has a very deep connection with the Holy Maiden.”

She paused, her gaze sweeping over Shen Xingmian, Zhuang Xiaoye, and the others who were filled with doubt, before continuing.

"But you may not know that the Queen Bee, whom the Black Poison Sect has worshipped for generations, serves the 'Goddess' who is the founding ancestor of my Hundred Flowers Kingdom!"

"what?!"

These words exploded like thunder in the cave, instantly shattering all tranquility.

Zhuang Wu'an staggered back a step, his cloudy eyes wide open, his face filled with disbelief and horror.

"What did you say? The ancestor of the Hundred Flowers Kingdom... was the goddess served by the Queen Bee? That's impossible!"

Shen Xingmian frowned, her eyes full of doubt. As a member of the Hundred Flowers Royal Family, she had grown up listening to the legends of her ancestors. How come she had never heard of such a deep connection between her ancestors and the Black Poison Sect? She subconsciously looked at Bai Yue, waiting for her to explain further.
