Chapter 960: Chapter 958: Frail Heiress 3

"Lian Yang’s feet seem glued to the ground; he’s having trouble walking, isn’t he?" Jiajia teased.

Xiao Mei continued to chuckle, her eyes filled with a hint of envy.

Immortal love, who wouldn’t be envious, who wouldn’t want a taste?

It’s just a pity that a roommate suddenly contracted a strange illness.

Ah Chen merely smiled, noticing Qin Yin walking quietly ahead.

At this point, the Gu inside this body has only been there for six months and hasn’t reached the stage of extreme weakness, so it doesn’t require special care. Whether it’s running or jumping, the impact is minimal.

Actually, aside from the gradual weakening of the body and the enlarged mark on the face, there are really no other symptoms, and doctors don’t know how to treat it.

Back in the dorm, everyone was feeling a bit sleepy.

Since there were no classes this afternoon, Jiajia rolled straight into the bed to sleep, reminding before drifting off: "Call me when you go for dinner."

Qing City University’s cafeteria is renowned for its delicious food; otherwise, given Jiajia’s family background, she wouldn’t be running to the cafeteria every day, not willing to miss a single meal.

Hearing the promise from her roommates, Jiajia fell into a peaceful sleep.

The dorm suddenly quieted down, Xiao Mei was reading, while Qin Yin played on her phone.

Ah Chen simply got into bed, drew the curtains, and prepared to check this body’s condition, while recalling how the commissioner fell victim to the Gu.

The Gu definitely needs to be extracted, but it cannot be directly returned.

Since Lian Yang could produce such an item, if simply returned, he has a way to dispose of it.

Upon inhabiting this body, she sensed the life force gradually diminishing. According to her understanding of Gu worms, the one inside her should be the child Gu, while the mother Gu is inside Qin Yin.

Moreover, the mark on her face that has grown is absorbing Qin Yin’s symptoms, accumulating them. But Gu worms are too mystical, inherently filled with special power; modern medicine cannot understand them, hence unable to examine properly.

Generally, Gu worms reside in the heart, and Ah Chen checked the heart at the start. Sure enough, she found the Gu worm seemingly bonded with the heart’s flesh. Its power indeed is special, no wonder medical instruments cannot detect it.

She tried to use her power to envelop the Gu worm; with her strength, she could easily detach it.

To her, it was just a low-level Gu worm, easily resolved.

Subsequently, Ah Chen forcibly contracted the Gu worm; the process went smoothly without any error.

After thoroughly researching the Gu worm, she basically figured out its nature. It should be a type of Life and Death Gu, with the mother Gu drawing life and the child Gu drawing death.

Planting the child Gu in the body allows the mother Gu’s host to absorb life force and transfers symptoms to the child Gu’s host.

During this period, the child Gu’s host must not die unexpectedly, or the plan fails and may even backfire.

To be frank, it’s trading one life for another.

Planting the Gu is fairly simple; it needs to enter from a wound site. Regardless of wound size, even a needle-hole-sized puncture will do, as long as the child Gu tastes blood, it can crawl in through that opening.

The commissioner hadn’t had any accidents at school, let alone any wounds; not even a scrape on the skin.

But she had received injections.

At a place like school, there certainly would be various vaccinations, providing Lian Yang the opportunity.

Ah Chen pondered, quickly finding a scene in her memories from a vaccination. The commissioner had already been vaccinated and emerged from the crowd, only to be bumped by someone, that someone being Lian Yang.

Back then, Lian Yang promptly apologized, seeing her arm bleeding, and felt incredibly anxious and guilty.

The truth is roughly like this.

To the commissioner, this was simply an unwarranted disaster—merely because she was the daughter of Qing City’s richest man, with a healthy body, she became a target.

Upon understanding the situation, Ah Chen didn’t pause and decided to enhance the child Gu, later finding a chance to plant it in Lian Yang’s body.

As for Qin Yin, seems unaware, therefore irrelevant to the task.

Just then, Xia Jingsheng called her, asking if she was doing well today.

In fact, before calling her, Xia Jingsheng should have conversed with Lian Yang.

Ah Chen temporarily didn’t plan to tell Xia Jingsheng the truth; mentioning it would mean explaining many things, rather cumbersome.

Moreover, dealing with Gu worms, even if Xia Jingsheng is Qing City’s wealthiest, can’t resolve. Had there been a way, he’d have long sought someone to handle it.

With a few words, Ah Chen brushed off Xia Jingsheng and proceeded to upgrade the Gu worm.

First and foremost, after the Gu worm was planted in Lian Yang’s body, it must not reflect on the face like hers. Otherwise, when word gets out, many outside might speculate, thinking the Xia Family employed some methods to transfer the symptoms to Lian Yang.

It’s ridiculous, but many people would believe it.

Furthermore, the mark on her face should not be removed until the matter is resolved, serving to confuse the external world.

Lian Yang and his mother toyed with the commissioner and her father thoroughly—they deserve some payback.

Lian Yang and his mother mentioned going to Jing City for revenge; given their exhibited behavior, they aren’t decent. Their grievances with Jing City, who’s right and who’s wrong, remain uncertain.

That’s not important anymore.

After all, she planted the child Gu back, even Lian Yang and his mother will have to face chaos.

Upon successfully upgrading the child Gu, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon.

Ah Chen got down from the bed, just in time to see Qin Yin sitting in a daze, lost deep in thought.

Seeing her get up, Qin Yin snapped back: "Awake? Jiajia is still sleeping, and Xiao Mei has gone to the library."

"Xiao Mei is still so diligent." Ah Chen praised, glancing at Jiajia’s bed, "Jiajia still enjoys good food and sleep as always."

Qin Yin couldn’t help but smile: "Indeed."

"Xiao Mei said, when we go to the cafeteria later, we should message her to meet there."

Ah Chen responded: "Okay."

Just then, Ah Chen’s phone rang; it was a call from Lian Yang.

She picked up, and Lian Yang said: "Xiao Chen, I bought you afternoon tea, had it sent up already, keep an eye out. I got you your favorite mango flavor, but for the others unknown, bought strawberry flavor for them all."

"Alright," as soon as Ah Chen spoke, there was a knock at the door, accompanied by a girl’s voice.

"Xia Chen, your boyfriend sent afternoon tea for you; come out and fetch it."

Ah Chen set down her phone, opened the dorm door, and took the items.

"Thank you."

"No need, no need, there’s a delivery fee." The girl said with a laugh, turning away with a hint of envy.

Ah Chen placed the dessert in front of Qin Yin; the latter noticeably paused before softly saying: "Benefitting from you again."

"Is there food?" Jiajia’s voice suddenly broke in, and Ah Chen looked up to see her, sleepy-eyed, sticking her head out, seriously eyeing the dessert not yet placed on the table, her gaze clearing up.

"There’s indeed snacks, I knew it; just in time to be hungry." Jiajia slid down eagerly.

Leaving Ah Chen somewhat silent.

Speaking of which, Jiajia’s figure is proportionate, looking skinny to the average person’s eye, yet she eats so much, where does it go?
