The girl screamed, clutching her neck as she fell to the ground, "Su Wan, what have you let crawl into... ah... my neck..."
On her fair skin, blood-red web patterns appeared at a visibly rapid pace.
And they became denser and denser, a truly harrowing sight.
I could almost guess the pain she was suffering, the same one I had just experienced.
Being drained of blood!
"I'll kill you, kill you!! Drain your blood..."
The Red Centipede was extraordinarily agitated, screaming out loud.
My strength slightly recovered, I raised my voice to intervene, "Xiao Honghong, don't kill her."
"You... who are you?" Xiao Honghong finally noticed me and, puzzled, flew around me in a circle.
Its glowing red eyes, like rubies, inspected me coldly.
Only then did I realize that Xiao Honghong had just woken up and wasn't very familiar with me, which made things awkward, "Uh, passerby, just a kind-hearted passerby giving a reminder."
"A mere passerby, what right do you have to tell me what to do?" Xiao Honghong didn't take me seriously at all.
I really found its words to make sense, "I was presumptuous, haha, please go ahead and enjoy your feast, I won't say another word."
Just don't come and eat me!!
"Su Wan, are you talking to that bug? You coward, you're actually going to feed me to this disgusting squirming bug!" The girl accused me furiously, apparently forgetting how hostile she had been towards me just moments ago.
I shrugged, "If I can save one, it's one. Since you've already been struck by the Centipede Gu, you just have to accept it, what else can you do?"
"Great Centipede, this woman is the Spiritual Girl, her blood is delicious, you hurry... hurry and drain her blood too."
This girl was incredible, she was a goner yet still wanted to pull someone down with her.
Gleams of light flickered in Xiao Honghong's eyes as it split into another centipede, "Spiritual Girl... yeah, how could I not think of eating you too?"
"It split," Su Wan said, "you're getting your comeuppance, you're going to be eaten too." The girl couldn't understand what Xiao Honghong was saying, but the splitting was quite evident.
A shiver ran through my heart as I leaned back slightly with the palm of my hand on the ground, "Xiao Honghong, you... don't mess around, my flesh doesn't taste good..."
The newly split centipede touched my skin, and in utter despair, I closed my eyes, mournfully thinking about how I had trapped myself.
To be gu'd by the very creature I was supposed to raise as a Life-bound Gu was just too unlucky, a sign that I was entirely unsuited for Gu Raising. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the Nove1Fire.net
However, the centipede did not penetrate my skin but merely clung to it, and yet I was as rigid as if acupoints had been pressed.
"Woman, how do you know my name is Xiao Honghong?" Xiao Honghong asked coldly.
I saw an opportunity for a turnaround and hurriedly said, "It's the name I gave you, don't you remember at all?"
"Su Wan... you are Su Wan... you woke me up with Snake Lord's blood, and then took me as your Life-bound Gu..." It seemed Xiao Honghong remembered who I was, but its tone was still dissatisfied, to put it accurately, displeased and reluctant!
I was a bit lacking in confidence, "Right, right, good that you remembered."
"Oh my god, what sin have I committed to end up as the Life-bound Gu to you, such an idiotic woman," Xiao Honghong complained, even more displeased.
This is rather awkward, isn't it?
I haven't gotten to the point where I'm scorned by a centipede gu, have I?
Does it have some kind of misunderstanding about me?
Just then, I felt a distinct wriggling in my lower abdomen, and an angry yet soft and adorably cute voice rang out, "Don't call my mom an idiot, stinky centipede! Apologize to my mom right now, or I'll beat you up!"
