The heart-devouring insect is born with four wings, its mouth shimmering with gold, its body entirely green, yet it is only the size of a finger. However, the golden jade talisman on its back is the size of a palm, making it quite comical.
But it did not use demonic power, nor did it rely on human hands. Just carrying the jade talisman with a flattering smile, it came to stand beside Gu Yuan.
Behind the heart-devouring insect, Ma Wu also emerged, looking cautious, and respectfully bowed to Gu Yuan.
"Greetings, Ascendant!"
"Congratulations to the Ascendant on achieving Golden Core, may you enjoy longevity for a thousand years!"
"Disciple was ineffective in handling matters, please punish me, Ascendant!"
Ma Wu's attitude was more respectful than before, his manners impeccable, not daring to show any neglect.
"Junior Brother Ma, why such formality?"
"We knew each other when both of us were insignificant; there's no need to be so estranged, you can call me Senior Brother Gu!"
