Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

Chapter 263 How can you eat so much?!

Upon hearing Zhu Chen's words, Shen Yu, who had just returned, immediately asked, "Master Zhu, are we really under some kind of curse?"

"Spell?"

Zhu Chen waved his finger at them: "It's not a curse, it's a Gu worm."

Zhu Chen circled around Shen Yi and muttered, "It's strange, I've never seen such a Gu worm before."

While eating, Shi Xiaxia subtly observed the group, trying to deduce the answer she wanted from their expressions.

"Who planted this Gu worm in us?!" Shen Yu asked immediately.

He had indeed noticed something was wrong before, but he hadn't paid much attention to it. Later, after Shen Qingqing left, they went to Lu Chuanbai's house, and the strange feeling became more and more obvious after they returned.

Shen Yu then took it seriously and began searching everywhere for metaphysical masters.

Later, after learning that Shi Xiaxia had joined the department, Shen Yi didn't want Shi Xiaxia to know, so she looked for other ways and that's how she found Zhu Chen.

"You know perfectly well why you're asking this." Zhu Chen rolled his eyes at Shen Yu.

Yes, who else could it be but Shen Qingqing?!

But they were so good to Shen Qingqing, why did she still use Gu worms on them?!

Why did she do that?!

Zhu Chen stared at the two of them, then whistled: "The Gu worms on Madam Shen's body are much larger than those on Mr. Shen's body. It seems you were the first to be Gu poisoned."

That's true. Madam Shen is soft-hearted and kind, making her the easiest to control.

Shen Yi just kept crying, unable to utter a single word.

Shen Yu looked at Shen Yi, then turned his gaze back, opened his mouth, and asked with difficulty, "My father and older brother...they..."

"They don't."

Zhu Chen affirmed, "I knew they didn't have it even though I didn't see them, otherwise they would definitely be like you. Don't think you can get rid of this thing just by your willpower!"

But don't make excuses for yourselves. After all, as long as your hearts are with Shen Qingqing, you won't be controlled.

Zhu Chen had no intention of saying much to them. He simply raised his chin slightly, gesturing for the two to sit down: "Now, I will begin to remove the Gu worms from you."

"Thank you, Master Zhu." Shen Yu pursed his lips, but ultimately said nothing.

The two sat down on the sofa, looking at Zhu Chen with tense eyes.

Zhu Chen took a deep breath, then slowly closed his eyes, chanting incantations as his hands rapidly formed strange hand seals in front of him.

A faint golden light emanated from his body, enveloping him, Shen Yu, and Shen Yi like a gentle shield.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Chen took out an antique wooden box from his pocket, opened it, and inside were several herbs that emitted a faint glow.

Then, Zhu Chen clapped his wrists, and a gecko crawled out of his body.

He crushed the herbs one by one and sprinkled them on Shen Yu and Shen Yi. The powdered herbs turned into wisps of green smoke upon contact with their skin and merged into their bodies.

At this moment, Shen Yu and Shen Yi's bodies began to tremble uncontrollably, and their faces showed pain, as if they were fiercely fighting against the Gu worms inside their bodies.

Seeing this, Zhu Chen changed his hand seals even faster and his incantations became more urgent.

As Zhu Chen cast his spell, the gecko that emerged from his body began to glow and crawled all over Shen Yi and Shen Yu.

Black shadows gradually appeared under Shen Yu and Shen Yi's skin; these shadows were the Gu worms parasitizing their bodies.

The Gu worm seemed to sense the threat and struggled desperately, trying to escape.

But as soon as they showed their heads, Zhu Chen's gecko swiftly pinned them down, then sliced ​​open their skin and swallowed them whole.

After finishing its meal, the gecko rubbed its belly with its little paws, looking as if it wanted more.

"Come back." Zhu Chen stretched out his finger, and the gecko immediately climbed up obediently and then disappeared into Zhu Chen's clothes.

Shi Xiaxia watched Zhu Chen the whole time, and her eyes darkened when she saw his abilities.

It seems that this infiltration of the Holy Maiden Cult is even more complicated than before.

Shi Xiaxia looked away, took a sip of water, and handed over the pastries.

"Alright, the Gu worms have been removed. Don't forget to transfer the payment to your card."

Zhu Chen packed up his things, looked at Shi Xiaxia sitting on the sofa wiping her mouth, and couldn't help but twitch his lips: "How can you eat so much?!"

Shi Xiaxia: "?!"

"What's it to you?!" Shi Xiaxia retorted irritably.

Shi Xiaxia stood up, not even glancing at Zhu Chen, and started to walk outside.

Shi Xiaxia's actions also caught the attention of Shen Yi and Shen Yu, who had been ignoring her.

Looking at the familiar figure, Shen Yi couldn't help but take a step forward and call out in a hoarse voice, "Xia Xia..."

Shi Xiaxia seemed not to hear, and continued walking without stopping.

"Mom, that's not Xiaxia,"

Shen Yu helped Shen Yi up. Although the person in front of her looked very similar to Shi Xiaxia, seeing her with Zhu Chen, she was sure it wasn't Shi Xiaxia.

"Really...?" Shen Yi stared at the girl's back, feeling that it was her Xia Xia.

But the girl didn't react; perhaps it wasn't her Xiaxia...

Shen Yi withdrew her gaze, lowered her red and swollen eyes, and slowly finished speaking: "Do you think... Xiaxia will forgive us?"

"Yes, I will." Shen Yu's voice was somewhat hesitant.

He already knew that, given Shi Xiaxia's personality, she would never forgive him and Shen Yi, but recently Shen Yi's health had been poor, and he didn't want to upset her any further.

......

Zhu Chen came outside and looked at Shi Xiaxia, who was walking forward with her head down. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you angry? I just said one thing to you!"

"How could I dare to get angry? They might even slap me twice!" Shi Xia said sarcastically.

Zhu Chen: "......"

They said they weren't angry.

Zhu Chen's eyes crinkled into a smile, and his tone softened: "Are you full? If not, we'll go eat some more."

"I am full!"

With her back to Zhu Chen, Shi Xiaxia quickly said, "You say I ate too much after eating a few pastries? If I suggest going to eat dinner, you'll call me a pig, right?"

Zhu Chen: "......"

Well, a joke got him angry.

"I think you're just full of anger."

Zhu Chen said it without any hesitation, then laughed and said, "I'm not full yet, so please have the formation master accompany me to get some more food!"

"I dare not accept such praise," Shi Xiaxia snorted.

"Let's go!"

Zhu Chen patted Shi Xiaxia on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You are a prisoner now, so you should know when to stop."

Shi Xiaxia glared at Zhu Chen, grinding her teeth in resentment.

He always ends up getting the short end of the stick from Zhu Chen!

In the end, Shi Xiaxia had no choice but to reluctantly follow Zhu Chen to a famous local restaurant.
