Chapter 94

After hearing Qiao Xueman’s words, Sun Yang was still a little dazed. He had absolutely no idea what she was talking about.

When had he started dating Qiao Xueman?

Qiao Xueman was clearly not his type. How could he possibly be with her?

He was just about to say something when everything that had happened between him and Qiao Xueman over the past half month suddenly surfaced in his mind with perfect clarity.

When he remembered that he had not only agreed to Qiao Xueman’s request to date her, but had also spent the past half month doing everything he could to treat her well, Sun Yang was stunned.

What was going on?

Why had he agreed to date Qiao Xueman in the first place?

He had obviously had no interest in her at all.

Yet in his memories, over the past half month, he had doted on Qiao Xueman to an almost absurd degree. He had been one step away from plucking the moon out of the sky for her.

He could hardly believe that the person who had spent money so recklessly, blowing hundreds of thousands on clothes and bags for Qiao Xueman, had actually been him.

His parents were wealthy, but they had been poor when they were young, so they had always taught him not to be extravagant or wasteful.

He had never been the type to spend money lavishly. Compared to expensive things, he cared more about value for money, and he would never buy designer bags or designer shoes.

But during the time he had been dating Qiao Xueman, he had spent five or six hundred thousand just on clothes and shoes for her.

Had he gone insane?

Sun Yang was unsettled and confused, unable to understand what he had been thinking during this period.

He pulled his hand back from Qiao Xueman and said, “Qiao Xueman, I might not have been in my right mind lately. I don’t know how I ended up agreeing to date you.

“I bought those things for you willingly, so I won’t ask you to return them. But as for our relationship, let’s end it here.”

After hearing Sun Yang’s words, Qiao Xueman could now be absolutely certain that Sun Yang had truly broken free of her control.

She had no idea what Xia Sheng had done, but she had actually severed the connection between her and the Child Gu.

Qiao Xueman secretly gritted her teeth and quietly fed the Mother Gu more blood.

However, no matter how much blood she fed the Mother Gu, she could no longer sense the presence of the Child Gu inside Sun Yang.

Qiao Xueman was furious. After class, she returned to the dormitory and, in a fit of rage, threw the Gu worm out, then raised her foot and stomped down hard on it.

“Useless trash! Worthless thing! I fed you so much of my blood, and this is all you’re good for!”

She ground her foot viciously over the Gu worm, trying to crush it to death completely.

But after she had finished trampling it in a frenzy and lifted her foot to look, the Gu worm had vanished.

Qiao Xueman found it strange. Just as she was about to lower her head and check what was going on, she felt a sharp stab of pain in her foot.

She looked down and discovered that the Mother Gu, which had always been as quiet as a dead thing, now seemed to have gone mad. It had bitten through the flesh at her ankle.

Qiao Xueman was horrified and hurriedly reached out to pull the thing off her foot.

But before she could touch the Gu worm, it had already burrowed into her flesh.

Watching the centipede-shaped bulge beneath her skin and feeling the thing squirming under it, Qiao Xueman’s scalp went numb. Terrified, she quickly pressed down on the raised area, trying to force the Gu worm out.

But the moment she pressed on it, the thing burrowed even deeper into her flesh, biting a path straight through her leg.

As her flesh was devoured by the Gu worm, Qiao Xueman screamed again and again in agony, fine beads of cold sweat breaking out across her forehead.

Trembling all over, she found the ancient book her grandmother had left behind, hoping to find a way to calm the Gu worm down.
However, she tried every method in the book, yet she still couldn’t calm the restless Gu worm down.

The thing crawled up her leg, gnawing its way into her internal organs.

Qiao Xueman knew full well that if this went on, she would die sooner or later. Dragging a leg that was almost crippled, she hurried toward the cafeteria as fast as she could, wanting to find Xia Sheng for help.

That woman had been able to remove the Gu from Sun Yang. She definitely had a way to force this Gu worm out of her body too.

On the way, some students noticed that Qiao Xueman’s leg seemed to be injured. A kindhearted girl came over and asked, “Hey, are you hurt? Do you want me to call an ambulance for you?”

Qiao Xueman was in no mood to deal with random passersby right now. Faced with someone else’s kindness, she snapped viciously, “Get lost! Don’t block my way!”

The girl had only meant well, only to be yelled at for no reason. She couldn’t help feeling wronged, but in the end, she didn’t say anything and left with her companion.

As for the other students who had originally wanted to help Qiao Xueman, after seeing that girl get shouted away, they immediately lost any desire to approach her. They ignored her and walked off.

Dragging her nearly crippled leg, Qiao Xueman made it to the cafeteria. After searching for a long while, she finally found Xia Sheng and Ning Xi, who had just finished eating and were about to leave.

She blocked their path, her face twisted by the pain inside her body, and said through gritted teeth, “Xia Sheng! What did you do to me? Why did my Mother Gu suddenly go berserk? Are you trying to kill me so you can be with Sun Yang yourself?”

Xia Sheng: “…”

Ning Xi, standing beside her, was also speechless.

She knew this woman had no brain, but she hadn’t expected that even at a time like this, Qiao Xueman could still say something like that.

“Do you think Sun Yang is money? That everyone likes him?”

Qiao Xueman was displeased by Ning Xi’s words, but she was in too much pain to care about anything else. She only spoke to Xia Sheng in a commanding tone. “I’ve been raising this Gu worm for several months, and nothing ever happened before. Today, because of you, the Child Gu inside Sun Yang died, and the Mother Gu on my side started going berserk.

“You have to help me deal with this berserk Mother Gu inside me. Otherwise, I’m not done with you!”

Xia Sheng gave her a calm sidelong glance. “From what I can see in your features, barring any surprises, by tonight, the Gu worm will have devoured your organs and killed you.

“You’re about to die. How exactly do you plan to not be done with me?”

Qiao Xueman had still been angry over what Xia Sheng had done, but the moment she heard Xia Sheng say she was about to die, she panicked.

“I can’t die. I’m only eighteen! You have to save me!”

Xia Sheng met her gaze coldly. “Is that your attitude when asking for help?”

Qiao Xueman choked. In the end, she suppressed her temper and lowered her stance slightly. “I’m sorry, Xia Sheng. I was too rude just now. Please help me. Help me get rid of this Gu worm inside me.”

Seeing her attitude soften, Xia Sheng finally spoke at an unhurried pace. “And there’s what happened last time. You have to apologize to Ning Xi.”

“Why should I?” Qiao Xueman reacted strongly. “I hit her last time because she seduced Sun Yang! She seduced my boyfriend. She deserved to be hit!”

Xia Sheng looked at her with icy eyes. Qiao Xueman’s scalp went numb under her stare, and she subconsciously took a step back.

Even though Xia Sheng had an innocent, harmless face, Qiao Xueman inexplicably had a gut feeling.

If she really made Xia Sheng angry, her ending would be even more miserable than being killed by the Gu worm.
