The Whole World Knows I'm a Good Person [Quick Wear] (Yaoi) Book 2 COMPLETED

Chapter 164

Editor: Casey

This was the first time growing up that Gu Qiushu heard someone say they wanted to dual cultivate with him.

Shi Qing’s words nearly made his brain combust.

His hands couldn’t help but clench…

His ears grew redder and redder…

And naturally, his heartbeat sped up as well.

By the time he recovered, the person who was teasing him had already reached the side of his next target.

“Little Ye Zi, let me ask you something. How on Earth did you swallow such a big bug?”

Ye Zi, who had forgotten all about that while munching on his drumstick, turned green. He couldn’t swallow another bite of chicken, for he would vomit if he did. Yet he couldn’t spit it out and waste food either.

In the end, his foodie side won out. Ye Zi swallowed with a pained expression and muttered, “I don’t know either. I didn’t even know there was a bug in my stomach.”

Shi Qing tried to scare him. “If you didn’t happen to run into me, then who knows when you would’ve found out? The bug in you is called a Cycle Gu. It devours a cultivator’s spiritual energy to grow. When it matures in your body, it can reproduce asexually and lay a bunch of eggs. These eggs will migrate to your meridians and slowly grow up. Mature bugs eat spiritual energy, but they’re afraid of it as larvae. So when you reach the Nascent Soul Stage, the larvae will crawl out and eat your nascent soul, gradually laying waste to your cultivation.”

Ye Zi’s face turned even greener.

“But that isn’t even the worst part. You’ll be mortal without your cultivation, and mortals have a limited lifespan. When former cultivators are about to die, a vestige of spiritual energy remaining in their bodies will emerge to protect their heart meridian. At that time, those larvae who’re afraid of spiritual energy will furiously dig around in your meridians and make you die of shock from the pain!”

“Guess if that big bug’s eggs are in your stomach or not right now.”

Ye Zi was completely terrified.

He couldn’t help but retch a couple of times as he ran outside. Soon, the sound of vomiting could be heard. Gu Qiushu remained where he was and saw the happy smile on Shi Qing’s face. He suddenly spoke, “You scared him on purpose.”

“Yep.” The Steel Bones Sect Master readily admitted it, smiling and raising his eyebrows at Gu Qiushu. “Although he vomited out the bug, its remnants remain in his body. If his body breaks them down, his cultivation will stop progressing for at least a century.”

He seemed quite proud of himself. “But now there’s nothing to worry about since I made him vomit everything out. I’m such a good person, ah.”

Gu Qiushu wrinkled his eyebrows. “You could’ve just told him. Was scaring him really necessary?”

“Think of it as a personal preference.”

“I’d be happy to.”

The person in front of him was openly flaunting his unrestrained nature. With quirked lips, he gazed genially at Gu Qiushu. “Don’t you think that results are more important than methods? What does it matter as long as the patient’s cured?”

“I say Xianzhang, since you think of him as a little brother, doesn’t that mean you should thank me because I saved him?”

Gu Qiushu looked at the person in front of him. Although he appeared as frosty as ever on the surface, there were lingering doubts in his eyes.
