Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 155 - 156: Poisonous Insect
The girl was a bit dazed. The damage to her body had slowed her reactions considerably.
She held the peach, completely at a loss for what to do.
But Su Nian just scoffed. "How much did you weigh before?"
The girl found the question a bit strange, but answered honestly, "I weighed 132 pounds before I started my diet."
"You weighed 132 pounds, and you lost twenty to thirty pounds in fifteen days? And you thought that was normal?"
Su Nian laughed, utterly exasperated.
The girl looked embarrassed and slowly took a bite of the peach.
She hadn’t expected it—she’d only taken a bite to ease the awkwardness—but the fresh, sweet flavor instantly made her forget her troubles, even ignoring the pain in her own body.
[Lost 22 pounds in fifteen days?]
[The streamer sounds a little harsh, but that’s what I heard too.]
[What kind of miracle weight-loss center is that?!]
[Can you guys be serious for a second? Based on the streamer’s reaction, there’s obviously something wrong with that place.]
[But I really want to lose weight!]
Su Nian saw the comments in the live chat and let out a short, humorless laugh. Her tone turned sour.
"You all only see the short-term benefits. Have any of you stopped to think about the consequences this girl will have to face?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Su Nian hadn’t planned on saying more, but when she saw a flood of comments from people expressing their envy and desire to go, she decided not to hold back.
"The consequences are beyond your imagination!"
Hearing Su Nian’s definitive statement, a chill ran down the girl’s spine, and she began to tremble with fear.
She had vaguely sensed something was wrong, but Su Nian’s demeanor confirmed it, and she was terrified.
Before she could say another word, Su Nian grabbed her hand. She found a disposable cup, filled it a quarter of the way with water, and then made a small cut on the girl’s finger. Blood began to seep out.
But then, something bizarre happened.
As her blood dripped and slowly diffused into the water, tiny, off-white, rice-grain-sized worms could be seen wriggling within it.
Her fingers were terribly thin, and Su Nian had to squeeze them bit by bit just to get a single drop of blood.
And despite losing only that tiny amount of blood, the girl somehow looked even more frail, as if a gust of wind could knock her over.
The blood continued to spread through the clear water. The tiny worms, each with a faint black dot, began to disperse as well. A single drop of blood contained countless little black specks.
The girl was dumbfounded, and the viewers online were stunned.
[What is that stuff?]
[UGH! I think I’m gonna puke! They look like maggots!]
[That is so disgusting! What the hell are those things?!]
To the naked eye, as soon as the worms touched the clear water, they quickly curled up into tiny balls and slowly sank to the bottom.
Su Nian picked up the cup and swirled it gently, drawing the eyes of everyone watching.
"Your body is filled with these things right now. Any guesses what they are?"
The girl’s already sallow, bruised complexion turned even more ghastly pale.
"B-But... aren’t those just worms?"
Su Nian sneered. "This is called a Gu. It’s no ordinary insect. Its original form should be black."
"You must have ingested it at that weight-loss camp. And by doing so, you entered into a contract with it."
The girl’s face was ashen. She had always been naive; the only reason she’d even tried to lose weight was that her ex-boyfriend had called her fat.
’I paid a fortune to lose weight at a place like that, and this is the result?’
’At the time, I thought that for a weight-loss center to charge so much, they must have the most advanced methods...’
’Now, thinking back to how foolish I was at that center... and all the strange things that happened that I just ignored.’
The more she thought about it, the more terrified she became. On her gaunt face, her large eyes seemed to bulge.
She started to recall something about the black insect the expert had mentioned. Thinking of that, and then of the swarming worms in the cup, the girl instantly panicked.
Her eyes blurred with tears and her voice choked with sobs. "Expert, what do I do now? What in the world is happening to me?!"
