Thinking of this, Xu Yuxiu found it even harder to trust Lu Min.
How could Lu Min be free if her natal gu had been branded with the Imperial Conferment Seal? Sensing the intensifying killing intent radiating from Xu Yuxiu, Lu Min turned pale. Yet, she braced herself against the pressure and suddenly hunched over. She covered her mouth with her only remaining arm, and a moment later, her face flushed red as she spat out an ice-crystal-colored cicada.
"Master, this is my natal gu, the 'Ice Cicada.' It is unlike ordinary natal gu; it possesses the ability to shed its shell and restore itself three times. This means that even if it were killed, it would not die immediately but could instead undergo metamorphosis to be reborn. It currently has two chances left to shed its shell, so the Imperial Conferment Seal cannot cause it fatal harm!"
