Lying on the bed, silently enduring the pain of worms gnawing at her, Liu Siya looked at Shen Qiang with tears in her beautiful eyes. At this mont, she not only had an eerily calm heart, but even the unbearable pain of the insect bites had beco less difficult to endure.
Because for her, the greatest pain did not co from the body, but from those elders, masters, uncles, and aunts she deeply respected, and the man who usually showered her with affection, claiming he would marry no one but her.
At the mont of life and death, they chose to abandon her, they chose to let Liu Siya die, then collect her body afterwards.
"Maybe they've already thought of what to say to others about how much they cared for , how much they loved , and how my departure devastated them, but is that really true?"
Looking at Shen Qiang, who seed to be doing sothing for her with a serious expression.
A slight smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"The people I admire abandoned when I needed them most, while a stranger is trying his best for ."
She took a deep breath, lifted her head, and looked at the stain on the ceiling near the window, left by the leaking rain, and said lost in thought, "Perhaps I am like this stain, rely a trace others wish to erase."
She muttered to herself.
At this mont, Shen Qiang's eyes had beco sharp.
Done!
The zombie fungus has successfully invaded!
"Sure enough, this Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu, its body is clearly divided into the head, thorax, and abdon, it has two pairs of wings, no skeleton inside, with an outer shell on the surface; these traits are exactly like insects, alright, the zombie fungus has successfully invaded."
"And they are not ants living in the rainforest, they don't have hyperparasites to combat the zombie fungus, they will die, becoming nourishnt for the zombie fungus!"
Shen Qiang's eyes were shining brightly.
anwhile, downstairs.
The snowflakes falling from the sky grew bigger.
There was no wind.
The fluttering snowflakes resembled duck feathers scattered from heaven.
Seven or eight elderly n and two old ladies, a young man, stood on the snow-covered ground outside the unit door.
"It's impossible, even with the Divine Gu, that Shen Qiang can't possibly save Liu Siya, his insecticide will only provoke those Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu; not only will they devour Liu Siya, but they'll also swallow Shen Qiang and the three beauties he brought." The young man's eyes were a bit excited.
An elderly man beside him seed a bit fed up and said, "Weren't you always pursuing her before? You even said you'd marry no other, and now, instead of praying for her, you say this. Does your conscience allow it?"
Hearing this, the young man raised an eyebrow and sneered, "I was just saying that to make her happy, and she knew it was a joke. Otherwise, she wouldn't have refused to be my girlfriend until now."
"Moreover, you should all realize that in this world, there are only n and won; I'm not the kind of person who can't see the truth, and now the situation is obvious. That self-important Shen Qiang will surely try to kill the worms."
"But the Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu cannot be killed; in that case, he's dood to die, but the exquisite Divine Gu certainly won't perish, so let's stop with the useless talk and discuss the distribution of the Divine Gu."
Upon hearing this, the seven or eight elderly n outside the unit entrance exchanged glances.
Liu Siya's master hesitated for a mont and said, "Siya's life or death is unknown, discussing this now isn't quite right, is it?"
In response, the young man chuckled, "The urn has been bought for her already, what's the point of discussing it now?"
Another elderly man said proudly, "Right, a Gu Master locked onto by the Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu is bound to die; there's no suspense about it. Among us, I'm the eldest, with the highest seniority, so after Shen Qiang dies, the Divine Gu rightfully belongs to ."
Hearing this, the others exchanged strange looks but remained silent.
Liu Siya's master suddenly raised an eyebrow, his eyes glowing in the snow-covered night, and said coldly, "Shen Qiang was invited by Siya herself, so if he dies, the Divine Gu should undoubtedly go to ; this is Siya's filial piety to , anyone else trying to claim it can try dealing with my Golden Iron Wire Gu!"
Everyone exchanged strange looks but still said nothing.
At this mont, the young man sneered and said, "Let's not forget, I'm the Sect Leader, and I'm in the pri of my life, probably set to hold this position for decades, so you all needn't fight over it. With the Divine Gu, I can unify the Thirty-Six Tribes of Miaojiang, and by then, you'll all be elders next only to ."
"You'll have wind when you want wind, rain when you want rain, even the top sects in the Cultivation World would have to treat us with respect."
Watching the strangely-eyed people, all seemingly with their plans, the young man sneered, "I know you all think if you can obtain the Divine Gu, you might replace as Sect Leader, but in reality, it's not easy being Sect Leader; you have to manage everything concerning the disciples. Frankly, I think it's better for us to avoid conflicts over who gets the Divine Gu, turning against each other, and rather follow my proposal."
"I'll take the Divine Gu, you'll all beco elders and enjoy your retirent. I'll ensure you lack nothing, but if you insist on competing with , don't bla for being ruthless."
Hearing this, everyone present sighed.
"Very well, being an elder is better than us killing each other; let's just wait downstairs. Before long, once Shen Qiang angers the Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu, it'll take only ten minutes for them to gnaw him into bones. By then, we'll go up and collect the Divine Gu."
"Yes, let's settle it that way."
Downstairs, Liu Siya's master and the others were eagerly waiting for Shen Qiang and the others to be devoured by the Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu.
anwhile, upstairs.
Liu Siya, staring dazedly at the water stains left by the leaking ceiling, suddenly felt the numb and painful itching from the worms stop.
Her expression turned to shock, and she turned her head to see that those Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu were still moving, but their speed had noticeably slowed.
Almost at the sa ti.
Shen Qiang, who inwardly shouted "Done!" was now smiling as he walked to the bed. Then, he casually took a cardboard box from the bedside table, dumped the neatly folded underwear inside onto the floor, and carefully swept the drunken-like Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu off Liu Siya's body into the box.
A mont later, there wasn't a single Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu left on the bed, leaving only a very weak Liu Siya, her pajamas riddled with holes, exposed under the light, her skin, originally snow-white, now covered in blood spots.
