Chapter 358 - 358: A Total of Nine

The melodious sound of the flute rang out.

Before long, there was a rustling sound from all directions.

The crowd surrounding the Jun Residence was furious, and they didn’t pay attention to those faint sounds.

But Gu Xiaonan could see it clearly. His already large eyes widened even more as he watched those little creatures crawl out from the cracks in the ground, emerging from corners.

It was the first time he had witnessed such a sight.

The snakes, rats, insects, and ants swarmed in a dense mass, covering everything in their path, making it unrecognizable.

They crawled towards everyone and bit anyone in their path.

“What is this?”

“It’s bugs! So many bugs!”

“And snakes too!”

“My goodness! Where did all these disgusting creatures come from?”

The crowd panicked, and they immediately started swatting away the repulsive things crawling on them.

Many of the people present had arcane powers and attempted to use their powers to eliminate the creatures.

However, there were just too many snakes, rats, insects, and ants, and they couldn’t be completely wiped out.

Watching them panic and frantically swat at the disgusting creatures, Gu Xiaonan burst into laughter and clapped his hands in excitement. “Well done! Bite them! Let’s see if they dare to insult our mother again!”

Xiaobai jumped out of his arms and looked at the mass of creatures on the ground, taking a step back in disgust.

Meanwhile, Xiaomei landed on Bo He’s shoulder, covering her eyes with her wings. “Yuck, it’s so scary! My eyes are burning!”

“Oh, why are you hiding? We have a barrier protecting us; they can’t get in,” Gu Xiaonan said, glancing disdainfully at his two little companions. He then looked at the scene outside the gate and felt that it wasn’t exciting enough. He decided to add some fuel to the fire.

Upon hearing Gu Xiaonan clear his throat, Bo He’s face paled, and she hurriedly intervened, saying, “Xiaonan, Yuanxi’s beast-controlling flute is sufficient for now. Your singing is a potent weapon, and we don’t need it at the moment.”

The idea of exposing her ears to it was unbearable for her.

Gu Xiaonan furrowed his brow, saying, “It’s not enough. They insulted our mothers; there’s no limit to how much torment they deserve.”

Seeing his determination to sing, Bo He came up with another excuse, “Think about it. Your singing is incredibly powerful. If it drowns out Yuanxi’s flute later, what will happen? Those little creatures won’t be controlled anymore, and they might even be stunned by your singing. That wouldn’t be in these people’s favor, would it? Right now, they’re already frightened by the insects and rodents – it’s quite satisfying to see them suffering like this.”

Gu Xiaonan thought it over and realized she had a point. While his singing was potent, it didn’t seem to have the same intimidating effect on these creatures, judging by their distorted expressions.

“Well, I’ll sing another time.”

She finally managed to convince Gu Xiaonan.

Bo He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside the mansion gate, many people were so frightened that they didn’t even think about settling scores with Gu Qingluan. They turned and ran.

Seeing the crowd dispersing, a shout suddenly rang out from within the crowd. “They’re under someone’s control! It has to be Gu Qingluan! She’s a witch! She can manipulate all these bugs and snakes!”

“Exactly! It’s got to be Gu Qingluan, that witch! We can’t let ourselves be frightened off like this, or we’ll be doing exactly what she wants!”

“Everyone, use your arcane power to protect yourselves. These things aren’t poisonous; at most, they’ll leave a few bites. If we don’t hand Gu Qingluan over to the Dingbei Army today, we won’t just get bitten a few times; we might lose our lives!”

“Everyone, focus your attacks on the barrier! As long as the barrier breaks, Gu Qingluan won’t be able to hide inside and control these disgusting creatures to harm us!”

Several shouts followed one after another.

Their words had an impact. The initially chaotic and panicked crowd gradually calmed down.

They realized that these bugs and snakes didn’t have much offensive power. They were merely frightening to look at, and even their protective arcane power couldn’t be breached.

Once they calmed down, their anger towards Gu Qingluan grew stronger.

While they cursed and attacked the barrier, they also began clearing away the bugs and snakes around them.

This time, the creatures summoned by Feng Yuanxi were different from the previous attack on Wang Shi’s mansion. Back then, all the creatures were summoned to attack both Wang Shi and the Gu family members, regardless of whether they were poisonous or not. That’s why even the experts with arcane power couldn’t resist them. But this time, Feng Yuanxi considered that many of the people present were ordinary citizens who had been manipulated into coming here. So, he summoned only frightening but non-lethal creatures.

Certainly, his intentions went beyond merely frightening people away.

Without employing this strategy, how else could he identify those who were causing trouble?

Feng Yuanxi put down his flute and asked Gu Xiaonan, “Did you see the ones who were shouting just now?”

Gu Xiaonan’s eyes gleamed like stars, brimming with fury.. “I spotted them! There were nine in total!”
