"I'm not Xiao Yuanyuan, I am the Golden Silkworm Gu."
The round Golden Silkworm Gu crawling from my face struggled to turn over in the palm of my hand, twisting its body laboriously.
I chuckled, "Haha, still saying you're not Xiao Yuanyuan, yet your movements are so round they can only roll."
"I... I'll go... pretty sister, you can understand what I'm saying." The Golden Silkworm Gu turned over and, fluttering its wings, took flight.
I reached out a finger to scratch the chin of the Golden Silkworm Gu, "I wouldn't have thought an insect's mouth could be so sweet, knowing how to flatter a girl like that."
"Master, master, big news, that pretty sister can understand what I'm saying." The Golden Silkworm Gu suddenly flew in one direction, frantically calling out to Zhang Shuying who was passing by.
Zhang Shuying flicked the Golden Silkworm Gu away with a snap of his fingers, yawning, "Even an insect can have delusions? Don't you have any sense in your little bug brain, in the Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses only I can hear your broken chatter, hurry up and do your business, return to my hand, just like the Golden Cicada Child, babbling nonstop, annoying to death."
"Sister, Zhang Shuying is bullying me, he hit me." The Golden Silkworm Gu flew back to me feeling aggrieved, and tattled.
I opened the palm of my hand towards the Golden Silkworm Gu.
It obediently landed, and I gently stroked the insect's back with my finger, "Good baby, sister spoils you, don't be sad~"
The Golden Silkworm Gu, particularly spiritual, adorably rolled around in my palm.
"You... you you you you!! Spiritual Eye Sister, you... you're seducing my insect!" Zhang Shuying, like a little overlord at this moment, came over in a rage, his nose crooked with anger.
I stroked the soft body of the Golden Silkworm Gu, "You bullied it, and that's why it came to me, Xiao Yuanyuan helps you heal people, can't you be a bit nicer?"
"You're actually not afraid of insects?"
Zhang Shuying touched his chin, squinting his eyes as he circled around me, "Are you even a woman anymore, aren't most women supposed to scream and run away at the sight of insects, then stomp them to death?" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel-fire.ɴet
"Just think of me as not, let Xiao Yuanyuan stay with me for a bit." I had been standing for so long my legs were a bit sore, so I sat down on the stone steps of the corridor.
Xiao Yuanyuan was especially spirited, happily rolling around in my palm.
Zhang Shuying's face turned slightly red, unsure if it was out of anger, "Do you know that the Golden Silkworm Gu is my Life-bound Gu... never mind, if you want to play with it, go ahead, it will do its business soon, you, being such a clean lady, better not get disgusted and scream."
"Xiao Yuanyuan, if you need to do your business later, let sister know, okay?" Reminded by Zhang Shuying and also worried about Xiao Yuanyuan making a mess, I leisurely cautioned it.
Xiao Yuanyuan nodded vigorously, appearing to understand.
Zhang Shuying looked shockingly hit, listlessly walking away.
Given that Uncle Zhong and Bearded Man cooked terribly, and Zhang Shuying was like a do-nothing master.
My injured wrist had healed, so I took the initiative to offer to make dinner for them.
Dinner was simple: sweet potato porridge, a plate of stir-fried zucchini with ham, and a full dish basin of potato stewed with sword beans.
Uncle Zhong and Bearded Man both praised my cooking, seeing Xiao Yuanyuan always resting on my shoulder, getting close to me.
It was only after asking Zhang Shuying that they realized Zhang Shuying's insect...
Bearded Man looked curiously, "This insect chirping away, I thought only Third Master could understand it, never expected Miss Su Wan could understand it too."
"Eh? Is Xiao Yuanyuan chirping like an insect? I thought it could speak human language." At this moment I realized that Xiao Yuanyuan wasn't speaking human language but chirping like a normal insect.
Uncle Zhong stuffed a sword bean into his mouth, "This means Miss Su Wan and our Sect Master are quite fated, the Golden Silkworm Gu is the Sect Master's Life-bound Gu, it communicates with the Sect Master using telepathy..."
