Why did you provoke me?

Nangong Tianshou looked at Yu Meng with a half-smile. "What makes you think I'm such a kind person?"

"Kids are always full of wild ideas and want to try everything, but we are very tolerant of kids in our family," Yu Meng replied with a smile.

Zhou Jingyan listened to their conversation. At first, he thought his third uncle was joking, but he didn't expect the two to know each other and be able to chat and laugh like old friends. However, the content seemed a bit sarcastic.

Nangong Tianshou pointed at Zhou Jingyan, "My nephew, please take good care of him in the future."

Yu Meng smiled and nodded. "I knew him before I knew you."

Nangong Tianshou sat up straight. "You two know each other?"

"Third Uncle, our Xiao Hao is the one Yu Meng pointed out the way to, and she also gave him the life-extending item." Zhou Jingyan didn't know how to address Yu Meng, so he simply called her by her name.

"That's not right. That time, the old charlatan said the person you were supposed to find was an old woman." Nangong Tianshou scrutinized Yu Meng carefully. "You two already knew each other back then?"

Yu Meng's face fell. "I was just standing there at the morning market, waiting for my older sister to come home from shopping. And then this old charlatan tricked me."

Nangong Tianshou laughed out loud this time. "You didn't lose out at all by being schemed against by that old charlatan. He's a cunning old fox. I'm curious, why did you make your move back then?"

Yu Meng pointed at Zhou Jingyan, "He knelt down and begged me."

"This isn't like you. You could have just walked away." Nangong Tianshou looked at Yu Meng. "What touched your cold heart?"

Niannian was getting anxious. "Fourth Sister, can I at least try?"

Yu Meng looked at her and said, "Tell me, who's the one who's in such a hurry to live right now? You're just itching to try your hand at it, why are you in such a rush?"

"I think he might agree to my proposal." Nian Nian looked at Nangong Tian Shou with expectant eyes.

"Little girl, you're mistaken. What benefit would I get from letting you try your hands on me?"

"I can help you pull the alien out of your body, isn't that a benefit? I'm not taking any money from you." Nian Nian looked at Nangong Tianshou strangely, "You're so strange. I'm helping you, why do you want me to give you a benefit?"

Zhou Jingyan's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. This little girl doesn't seem to be someone to be trifled with either.

Nangong Tianshou sighed. "It's a pity my base was also disbanded, otherwise..."

Niannian waved her little hand, "I won't be separated from my fourth sister."

Nangong Tianshou became interested. "Do you know what I'm going to say next?"

"I don't know, but I know who I want to be with."

Nangong Tianshou glanced at Yu Meng, pursed his lips, and thought, "Why should I argue with a child?"

Nangong Tianshou stretched out his arm. "Then you can try it, but I have to tell you beforehand, if it really pulls your lines in, don't cry."

"You can rest assured about that. If I weren't strong enough, I would let go. My fourth sister taught me that you should always act within your capabilities and never force yourself or let yourself get hurt."

"Niannian, some things are better left unsaid. We should keep them to ourselves. We need to save face for others," Yu Meng instructed earnestly from the side.

"Fourth Sister, I've got it. Let's begin then. Fourth Sister, please keep an eye on things for me."

Yu Meng nodded, "You can touch it with your finger first. See if you can find its center point."

The lines of the snake were already beginning to emerge from his wrist. Looking at those lines, Nangong Tianshou suddenly felt as if he were being stared at by a snake.

The lines danced back and forth across the ugly, large green worm. Nangong Tianshou's breathing softened considerably. "Found it," Nian Nian's voice echoed in the quiet room. "Fourth Sister, it seems there's more than one."

"Don't underestimate them. Find the one with the most energy." Yu Meng's expression became much more serious.

"Oh, Fourth Sister, it's so cunning. It's not the biggest one." In an instant, the line pierced through the skin, and then the entire line slid into the body of the big green caterpillar.

Nangong Tianshou felt as if he had been bitten by a mosquito, and then watched as Niannian's lines disappeared without a trace.

"Yu Meng, why are her lines like needles?" This completely overturned Nangong Tianshou's understanding.

"It's a secret technique of our sect, I can't tell you." Yu Meng didn't even lift her eyelids, she just stared intently at the lines on Nian Nian's face that pierced through the blue vein.

"I caught it!" Niannian suddenly shouted. "Fourth Sister, it has helpers, please help me beat it up."

Suddenly, the ring on Yu Meng's hand transformed into a line and struck the vein hard.

This seemingly insignificant movement caused Nangong Tianshou to break out in a cold sweat. It hurt so much.

A loud laugh rang out. "You little punk, trying to run away from me? I have backers."

At the end of Nian Nian's lines, several thin threads were still writhing with something tangled around them. Without hesitation, Nian Nian grabbed them and held them in her hand.

"Don't grab it with your hands." Two voices rang out at the same time.

Niannian rubbed something between her hands, looking at Nangong Tianshou with a puzzled expression. "You still want this?"

Nangong Tianshou looked at Yu Meng, "It will parasitize as soon as it touches the skin. I was fully armed in the car at the time. I only left a breathing vent."

With a pained expression, Yu Meng took out the withered branch from her hand. "This is the only one I have left. You'll have to return it to me later." Then she touched the withered branch with her finger, and the scattered points of light instantly entered Nangong Tianshou's body. Yes, Yu Meng could now control the scattered points of light on the withered branch; whoever she wanted to give it to, the points of light would float onto their body.

Nangong Tianshou's body, which had been straining, seemed to have received ample nourishment. He leaned back in his chair, relaxing.

The blue veins on his arms were slowly receding, and the fine hairs on his face were beginning to fall out.

After Zhou Jingyan left, he came back in carrying a basin of water and slowly wiped the area with a damp towel. Nangong Tianshou didn't move, letting him do as he pleased.

Yu Meng watched Nian Nian playing happily and asked, "How's it going?"

"It's alright, but there's not enough, not enough to fill a tooth gap." Niannian pouted. "But it's better than nothing."

Nangong Tianshou didn't understand what the two were saying, but he was smart enough not to ask.

"Yu Meng, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you sisters would be interested?" Nangong Tianshou saw Nian Nian's value and of course couldn't ignore her existence.

Yu Meng shook her head. "Your health is very poor right now. It's not even close to what it was when I first met you. You should take care of your health before making any other plans."

Nangong Tianshou nodded. "Of course I know what's wrong with my body. I'm talking about him." He pointed to Zhou Jingyan, who had been busy.

"He's the leader of the Zhou family this generation, but he also has many rivals and enemies. The child you saved last time was his eldest son. You saw it yourself; such a young child suffered so much. It broke my heart. I thought, since your family has raised Niannian to be so outstanding, raising another child shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Niannian looked up at Nangong Tianshou and said, "Raising children is very tiring. I am very well-behaved and smart, which is why my mother raised me. Your child is dangerous and will cause trouble for your mother."
