Godslayer: My Girlfriend Red Tassel

“Alright, now I want to have a proper talk with you.” Leng Xuan’s tone was calm. “Besides Commander Ye, everyone here is from our 136th Squad. Relax, we’re all family.”

He turned to the other team members and gently reminded them:

"Don't be too nervous. This kind of atmosphere will make Su Yan uncomfortable. Please sit down."

After arranging for everyone to sit together, Leng Xuan first glanced at the worm in Su Yan's hand, then pondered for a moment and asked:

"Su Yan, is this... creature in your hand very important to you? Is it more important than life itself?"

"You mean this?" Su Yan waved the plump worm in her hand and shook her head. "Although it's quite important, it's not more important than my life. It's just something I have to eat every day; if I don't eat it, it will affect the baby in my belly."

"If it's not that important, then why did you feel such intense anger when Old Zhao tried to snatch it... even to the point of murderous intent?"

Leng Xuan asked this crucial question.

In the minds of everyone in Squad 136, Su Yan was someone who seemed stingy but was actually outrageously generous.

Calling him stingy is no exaggeration. He's the kind of person who considers it a loss if he doesn't find money on the street, and he'll even dip a manure cart in it to taste its saltiness if it passes by.

But what is the reality? He tries every means to bring back those extremely dangerous forbidden items, peaches of immortality, immortal wine, immortal pills, divine artifacts... even treasures that most gods dream of, wishing he could stuff them all back to his companions.

Outsiders have no idea how abundant and outrageous the resources are within Squad 136 today!

How could someone like that get so enraged just because Lao Zhao stole his things?

Su Yan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. She carefully recalled the situation just now, looked down at her stomach, and muttered softly, "It seems that the baby in my belly is not willing, which is why it affected me... Old Zhao, I'm sorry."

Zhao Kongcheng waved his hand, his expression still grave.

Su Yan was still mentioning the "child in his belly." Since he wasn't under an illusion, how could this "child" affect his emotions...? Leng Xuan suddenly thought of something and pointed to the fleshy worm in Su Yan's hand, asking:

"Can you describe to us what this thing in your hand looks like?"

Su Yan nodded, held the worm in her palm, and described it as it looked: "This is a plump white worm, covered with wriggling tentacles. It feels sticky to the touch, but smells very sweet."

“No, this smells terrible!” Zhao Kongcheng couldn’t help but interject.

"Old Zhao, don't interrupt, let me guide the conversation." Leng Xuan stopped him and continued to Su Yan, "Let's not discuss the smell for now. Since you know it looks like this, so...unique, how did you manage to eat it? Didn't you experience any physical discomfort during the process?"

"Disgusting? I don't think so," Su Yan licked her lips, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes.

"All I know is that when you bite a small hole and suck out the juice, it has a sweet taste that is especially pleasant."

"..."

This time, Leng Xuan lowered his eyes and remained silent for a few seconds. When he looked up again, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Su Yan, you've learned a lot about human genetics from elementary school to university. So tell me, where did you learn the concept that 'men can get pregnant'?"

"Of course it's biology class," Su Yan said decisively. "I clearly remember that it was explicitly described in my junior high and high school biology textbooks!"

"With your memory, you would never forget the details. So tell me which edition of the textbook it is? I'll find it for you."

"Yes...yes..." Su Yan suddenly choked.

With his current near-ceiling level of skill, his memory is astonishing; he can even clearly recall details from his childhood. Yet, at this moment, despite his best efforts to remember, he couldn't recall which textbook he had learned it from.

But he clearly remembered that he had indeed studied it, absolutely had!

"Which one is it? That's strange... I can't remember..."

Leng Xuan handed over his phone at the right moment: "The Night Watchers' database contains a complete set of human textbooks. You can take your time to look them up. We're not in a hurry."

Su Yan quickly took the book and began searching rapidly. For a full half hour, he sifted through nearly a century of genetics textbooks, but found no examples of "male human pregnancy"...

The only male on Earth capable of getting pregnant is the seahorse.

No, that can't be... Could it be...? Su Yan's face grew increasingly pale. After a long silence, she finally spoke in a hoarse voice:

"So that's how it is... I'm not human after all, I'm a seahorse spirit?!"

"Pfft."

Tian Ling couldn't help but laugh out loud, immediately drawing glares from everyone. She quickly lowered her head and buried her face in her knees, feeling extremely ashamed.

"Did I...did I say something wrong?"

"It's not your fault, it's really not your fault." Leng Xuan quickly comforted her gently. After Su Yan calmed down a bit, he slowly said under the expectant gaze of everyone in Squad 136:

“Su Yan, I have a guess, you might want to listen: Is it possible that you are not a seahorse spirit, that you are a human, that you are not pregnant, but that your [cognition] has been altered.”

"My understanding? What do you mean?" Su Yan frowned.

“There is some kind of entity that interferes with your biological hormones, causing a huge deviation in your cognition, for example…” Leng Xuan turned to look at Tian Ling behind him, “For example, Tian Ling is actually quite knowledgeable in this area.”

Tian Ling looked up, pointing at herself with a bewildered expression: "Me?"

“Yes, I’m talking about your clan’s love-sucking gu.” Leng Xuan nodded and explained, “A pair of love-sucking gu can make two people fall in love easily. From a scientific point of view, it should be because when the love-sucking gu parasitizes, it secretes a large amount of various hormones such as androgens, estrogens, progesters, dopamine, and adrenaline in a short period of time. These hormones interact and affect the emotions of both parties, which is why two strangers fall in love so quickly…”

"Oh, really?" Tian Ling yawned, her eyes starting to glaze over.

"Leng Xuan, are you saying... I'm being controlled by something like a Gu worm right now?" Su Yan murmured, looking down at her lower abdomen, but then her expression hardened. "Impossible. I can feel it. The baby in my belly is a good baby. It would never control me!"

Leng Xuan observed Su Yan's reaction and already knew the answer. He pondered for a moment, then winked at Hong Ying and said:

"Since you're so confident... could I have a vial of blood drawn for a test?"

"I..." Su Yan was about to agree, but instinctively wanted to refuse. He clenched his fists and struggled for a moment.

Hongying moved closer at the right moment, sat down gently next to Su Yan, and carefully took the meat worm from his hand and handed it to Si Xiaonan next to him.

She rested her chin on her hand, puffed out her cheeks, and her peach blossom eyes narrowed into two charming crescent moons as she smiled and said:

"Su Yan, are you afraid of needles? You always brag to me about how manly you are, but I think you're just being stubborn!"

"No...who's afraid of needles! Who's afraid!" Su Yan immediately became agitated, rolled up her sleeves, and shouted at Leng Xuan:

"Leng Xuan, start whipping me now, whip me to death!"

"Use the big syringe you use to inject pigs to draw it out!"
