Then, he pinched Gu Youyou’s chin, forcing her to open her mouth.

Gu Youyou had already guessed what this insect was—it was the one that Jin Zijin had mentioned before that could extract the Youying Pearl from her body.

But the Youying Pearl was no longer inside her, and Yu Jizi did not know.

Unable to speak because he was pinching her chin, her body felt sore and weak, devoid of any strength to resist.

She watched in horror as the disgusting insect crawled into her mouth.

The bug hesitated for a moment in her mouth before beginning its crawl down her throat.

She desperately wanted to bite the thing to death; swallowing it dead would be better than alive.

But Yu Jizi kept pinching her chin, giving her no chance to bite down.

This nauseating feeling of wanting to vomit but unable to, was sheer torture on her body.

Something was burrowing in her throat, unspeakably uncomfortable.

Pain and itchiness mingled, her throat burning painfully with fluids moving. Gu Youyou guessed her throat must have been torn, bleeding.

The discomfort nearly brought her to tears, but the thought that the Youying Pearl wasn’t inside her and the anticipation of seeing Yu Jizi furious brought her a perverse sense of relief.

If she wasn’t wrong, this meteorite was extremely important, perhaps crucial to accomplishing their plans.

This old freak, having calculated everything, certainly hadn’t anticipated that the Youying Pearl was no longer in her body. He might have visited that deep pit where the Sakaki tree fell, but surely he never explored that old rat burrow.

Such a person would never be taken by those rats as food and carried in.

That rat burrow, many, many years ago, might have been visited by ancestors of the Dao Family, but they sealed it after they left.

Stricken with too much pain to cry, Gu Youyou smiled creepily, baring her teeth.

Her arm was still bleeding, the blood dripping to the ground attracted many greedy insects.

Blood also trickled from her mouth, her white teeth making the scene grotesquely terrifying.

Time had passed for a while, and Yu Jizi faintly felt something was amiss. Why hadn’t it come out yet?

Gu Youyou felt so uncomfortable it was unbearable; the bug burrowing inside her body could kill her before she could see Yu Jizi bursting with rage.

Her body was still so young; she had already died once, she couldn’t die again.

Why hadn’t Jin Zijin arrived yet? Was it that he couldn’t find her, or what? Searcy had said she deliberately left the cloth behind; he would definitely find them following that bee.

Or perhaps... he had already encountered trouble; that time Yu Jizi could have... No, that couldn’t be it. At most, he was just injured and couldn’t come because his injuries had not yet healed.

Suddenly, she hoped he wouldn’t come.

He was no match for Yu Jizi. What could he do if he came? Become a ghost couple with her?

But he still had so many things unresolved, his mother’s great revenge, the affairs of the Dao Family...

The more Gu Youyou thought, the more confused her mind became. One moment she hoped he would come, the next she hoped he would not.

Time ticked by second by second, and she didn’t know how long had passed, but when she was about to lose consciousness from the pain, she finally felt that disgusting insect crawl out.

Yu Jizi caught the insect in one motion and tossed Gu Youyou aside.

Gu Youyou lay on the ground as countless insects immediately swarmed toward her.

Tears flowed from her eyes, but she was smiling.

Due to her injured throat, her laughter sounded particularly hoarse and even horrific.
