Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 805 - Sacrificing the Eye to Tame the Venomous Insect

Chapter 805 Sacrificing the Eye to Tame the Venomous Insect

“I know you don’t want to trap Xiaoyu with the marriage arrangement. but Xiu, although not all sacrifices get you anything in return, only a fool would silently sacrifice. Do you think Xiaoyu is the kind of person who deceives you because he is emotionally moved?”

Lin Mengya was keenly aware of Xiaoyu’s character. Although he was a loyal man, he was definitely not the kind of sc.u.m who would delay someone’s life for the sake of repaying kindness or being moved.

On the contrary, she felt that this would make Xiu confess the truth to him and ease the relationship between the two of them. It would also allow Xiaoyu to have a new understanding of Xiu.

Xiu was her good friend, but Xiaoyu was someone she considered to be a younger brother.

She loved both of them dearly, so she couldn’t bear to see any one of them get hurt.

“Sister Lin, I know what you’re saying. I’ve never thought of keeping this from him, but it would be disastrous if he were to find out, because it was Prince Lie who had pleaded me to give up my eyes. How do you think he would feel if he finds out that I lost my eyes because Prince Lie came to me to plead for him?”

Xiu’s kindness made her heart ache, but the truth really shocked her.

“You said Wanyan Lie asked you to do it? Xiu, tell me honestly, what really happened?”

This matter was getting a little serious and complicated.

Just as Xiu said, if this matter was related to Wanyan Lie, it must have something to do with the entire Lieyun.

To be honest, Lin Mengya did not really like Wanyan Lie.

In spite of the fact that he was extremely loyal and devoted to Xiaoyu.

But sometimes, the means he used were a bit extreme.

Be it with regards to Xiaoyu or Xiu.

Before they were being used as political chips, they were two innocent children.

Forget national justice, did everything have to be achieved by sacrificing innocent people?

On that point, Lin Mengya knew better than anyone else.

“Here’s what happened.”

Like Xiaoyu, Xiu relied on and trusted Lin Mengya as much as a fledgling.

Therefore, she would answer her questions obediently.

Lin Mengya found out the whole story from Xiu’s narration.

Everything had to do with the venomous insect inside Xiaoyu’s body.

The Lieyun Empire had dozens of tribes of various sizes.

According to tradition, the ruler of the Lieyun Empire must receive the approval of the leaders of all the tribes.

Of course, the truth was that only twelve Tribes possessed true power.

The other small tribes were also attached to these twelve great tribes.

It wasn’t easy to obtain the acknowledgment of the twelve tribe leaders. In order to prevent their leaders from being bribed, when a consensus could not be reached on the successor to the throne, a relatively fair system would be used for evaluation.

The Xin Family was the one who initiated this evaluation.

The so-called High Priest was essentially the instigator in name.

It’s worth mentioning that Xin Li was also one of the prospective successors to the throne.

But once such disputes arose, as the High Priest, Xin Li would be the first to be eliminated.

It was no wonder that Xin Luan would become the chief priest along with Xin Li. This was the reason.

Even so, to be acknowledged by every single tribe was still extremely difficult.

One of the more important ones was to get the inheritance left by the King of Various Venomous Insects.

These inheritances were some special venomous insects.

Xiaoyu’s ability was limited, and he had been drifting outside for a long time. Naturally, his credentials were the worst.

But the Emperor loved Xiaoyu very much, and Wanyan Lie provided help in the most extreme form.

They chose a relatively powerful venomous insect for Xiaoyu, the venomous heart insect, even among the venomous insects left by the King of Various Venomous Insects.

It was said that the venomous heart insect could confuse people’s hearts and make its master superior to most venomous insects. There were indeed many benefits to it.

Over the years, there had been many who had pursued the venomous heart insect.

They only gave up because the venomous heart insect was too hard to control.

It was hard to say whether Xiaoyu was too lucky or that Xiu just had a miserable fate.

When Xiu was young, she faced the venomous heart insect alone.

Not only did the venomous heart insect not turn her into nutrients, but quite the contrary, it protected her from the siege of so many other venomous insects.

Though only a very small amount of people knew about this matter.

“Later, Prince Lie told me that the only way the ninth prince could gain possession of the venomous heart insect, was that I had to use my eyes to become the altar of the insect. So I put the insect in my eyes. But the power of the venomous heart insect was so strong that I couldn’t see through my other eye either.”

After Xiu finished speaking, there was a helpless smile on her face.

It was as if losing her eyes was not a big deal.

Lin Mengya clenched her fists. Only in this way could she suppress her impulse to rush to Wanyan Lie and punch him hard.

What bullsh*t venomous heart insect!

If Xiaoyu didn’t have the ability. Why didn’t he think of other ways?

Using her eyes to raise the venomous insect made Lin Mengya’s hair stand on end. Moreover, Xiu was still young and her life had just begun.

The rage acc.u.mulated in her heart was getting extremely high, and she knew the principle of paying a price for the sake of success.

However, would Xiaoyu be able to sit comfortably on the throne that was built on the blood of innocent people?

In the name of righteousness, he was a bandit who bullied the weak.

Despicable, just despicable!

“But I have to thank him. Sister Lin, let me tell you a little secret. In fact, there is a male venomous insect in the body of the ninth prince. Although it is also very powerful, it is not as good as the female one. The female venomous insect lives in my left eye. Now, it has been integrated with me. With it, even if I have no eyes, no one can easily hurt me!”

Although Xiu hid it well, Lin Mengya could still feel the disappointment and affectation of strength in the little girl’s tone.

Xiu was a very strong-minded girl. Her breadth of mind and scope were far higher than her own.

Therefore, Lin Mengya felt bad and tried her best not to let Xiu know what she was thinking.

Some things that just couldn’t be rushed.

Not to mention that the sacrifice was irreversible, and she could only stop more sacrifices by using all means.

At the same time, she would not let Xiu’s efforts go to waste.

“Really? You’re really amazing. This is the first time I’ve heard of this kind of venomous insect. It seems that I’ll have to admit defeat in the future.”

Lin Mengya looked at Xiu’s left eye, which was indeed dull, and her left eye seemed to have a hint of life.

Perhaps it was because she was staring at Xiu, but there seemed to be a flash of purple light in Xiu’s left eye.

Although it was very fast, Lin Mengya definitely saw it.

That must be the dreaded and powerful venomous heart insect.

“You’re too modest. It’s strange though, Xiaozi is usually very active. Why is she so well-behaved today?”

Xiu muttered to herself in puzzlement, but Lin Mengya knew the reason.

The poison flowing in her body was much tougher than that of this venomous heart insect.

While humans might not be able to sense it, venomous insects were the most sensitive.

Now that the insect sensed her, it naturally had to back off, not daring to come out and cause trouble.

“It’s okay. Maybe it’s because you’re too tired today. Is there really no hope for your left eye to recover?”

Only Xiu could face such harsh truth with a smile.

Nevertheless, in her heart, Lin Mengya still hoped that Xiu could see light again.

Xiu shook her head. There was actually not a hint of haze in her smile.

“Truth be told, it makes no difference to me. Sister Lin, do you know why Xiaozi is called the venomous heart insect? Because it will become my heart. As long as I can keep cultivating it, Xiaozi will become my eye. By then, there will be no difference.”

After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya could only sigh and shake her head.

Xiu was always so different from others.

Even Lin Mengya had to admit that compared to Xiu, she was inferior.

“Hey, let’s not talk about this anymore. Sister Lin, stay here tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll get Suma to send you back to the palace. We haven’t talked to each other for such a long time. Let’s go. I’ll show you my room.”

Xiu was so lively that she held Lin Mengya’s arm intimately. She must be so familiar with this place that there seemed to be no obstacle at all.

No wonder the butler had such a big reaction to her going out.

Presumably, this was the safest and most comfortable place for Xiu now.

Xiu’s room was as simple and comfortable as her character.

Apart from the necessities, there was no other decoration in the room.

They were probably afraid that Xiu would accidentally fall down and get hurt.

After looking around, Lin Mengya followed Xiu into the closet.

Although there was no candlelight inside, Xiu moved around as usual.

She took out a clean set of clothes from the closet and handed it to Lin Mengya as she spoke with embarra.s.sment.

“I’ve forgotten that ever since I lost my sight, Uncle Hong was afraid that I would grieve and that something would happen to me, so he took away all the candlelight in the room. So you’ll have to accompany me in the dark.”

Lin Mengya took the clothes from Xiu. In fact, to her, it didn’t matter whether there was any light or not.

“It’s fine. We’re going to sleep soon anyway. By the way, Xiu, how did you know that Xiaoyu and I were ambushed by others?”

Lin Mengya quickly changed her clothes and the two of them climbed onto the big bed. Finally, Lin Mengya got straight to the point on the matter she was most curious about.

In the dark, she couldn’t see Xiu’s expression clearly, but she could hear the weight in her tone.

“I heard about it from my uncle. Sister Lin, you may not know that the Dongfang family is one of the most powerful families in Lieyun Empire. My grandfather’s generation was the old minister who helped the Emperor ascend the throne. Moreover, my uncle fought side by side with my father and the Emperor. And, the Dongfang family is not interested in power struggles. Instead, they like to do business everywhere. Therefore, the Emperor believes in the Dongfang family. But everything has changed since the return of the ninth prince.”
