"insanity."
Ma Linghua's expression changed. This was a tricky situation. This thing was difficult to deal with, and they couldn't do anything about it.
"Hehe! Sacrificing the five of you is the same. It doesn't matter if there are fewer of you, as long as we don't waste them." The hunched old man looked at them with piercing eyes.
Looking at the dense swarm of insects, Ma Hehua felt a chill run from the soles of her feet straight to her head.
The Gu worms spread like a writhing black tide, reaching the ground, the corners, and around the old man.
They vary in size, some as small as black sesame seeds, yet their movement sends chills down your spine, while others are as thick as a thumb, gleaming with a cold, eerie light, their shells resembling a layer of hard armor, their segments twisting and turning.
The rustling sound as she crawled was like countless fine needles rubbing against Ma Hehua's eardrums, each sound stimulating her nerves.
That sea of insects seemed to have its own will, slowly advancing towards the direction where the five of them were.
Lieutenant Chen felt as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his throat, making it difficult to even breathe.
The insects piled on top of each other, with a few occasionally climbing onto their companions, wobbling and trying to take a higher position, like a chaotic yet malicious carnival.
Goosebumps involuntarily rose on Ma Hehua's arms, each one a manifestation of her fear of these Gu worms.
"Grandpa Tao, wait a minute."
Yunzhi spoke up at this moment. She looked quirky and clever, but her eyes held an unyielding calculation.
Her eyes were like two deep black gems, concealing unfathomable thoughts beneath her seemingly innocent exterior.
Her face was round and had a touch of playfulness, but at this moment, that playfulness seemed like a disguise. The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a kind of cunning that was hard to fathom.
The old man put down his flute and looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Yunzhi, what's wrong?"
“Grandpa Tao, my body is yin, while that man is yang. If I were to marry him, the child I would have would have an excellent constitution and a very high chance of becoming a saintess.”
Yunzhi's voice was clear and crisp, yet it was like a thunderclap exploding in the silent atmosphere.
As she spoke, she glanced at Lieutenant Chen.
Looking at Chen, the adjutant's tall and imposing figure, there was no trace of shyness in his eyes, only naked calculation and consideration, as if the person standing in front of her was not a person of flesh and blood, but a tool to achieve her goal.
Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Chen was completely stunned: "……………………"
His eyes widened as if he had heard the most absurd thing in the world.
He swallowed hard and began to scrutinize Yunzhi's appearance.
Yunzhi's skin was as white as snow, with an almost porcelain-like luster. Her eyebrows were curved like crescent moons, and her long eyelashes were like two small fans, casting faint shadows under her eyelids.
Her nose was small and straight, and her lips were as red as cherries; she was indeed quite beautiful.
Lieutenant Chen swallowed hard, his mind caught in a complex dilemma.
On the one hand, he was at a loss for words because of this sudden suggestion; on the other hand, if he refused, would the young master be punished?
He never imagined that he would be used as a tool for reproduction, especially for such a mysterious and insane purpose.
Yunzhi was indeed a good-looking woman.
She exudes a unique charm, a blend of girlish innocence and a hidden shrewdness.
His thoughts began to drift away, imagining whether he would have any chance of survival if he really married Yunzhi.
Yunzhi stood there quietly, her eyes fixed on Deputy Chen, as if waiting for his reply.
There was no sign of backing down in her eyes; she remained steadfast in her belief that her plan was feasible.
She was like a calm chess player, having already planned every move in her mind, and Deputy Commander Chen was a crucial piece on her chessboard.
The old man watched all this with great interest, seemingly wanting to see how Lieutenant Chen would respond.
The entire scene fell into an eerie silence, with only the heavy breathing of Lieutenant Chen echoing in the air.
“I agree,” Ma Linghua replied immediately.
The answer was as decisive as a stone falling into water, without the slightest hesitation.
Lieutenant Chen looked completely bewildered, his eyes filled with confusion: "???"
His mind seemed to suddenly freeze, and he kept shouting in his heart: No... sis, what do you agree to? He hasn't even agreed to this himself!
Ma Linghua's sudden agreement was like a whirlwind that left him completely bewildered.
Before Lieutenant Chen could reply, Chen Zhiqing added, "I agree as well."
Lieutenant Chen's expression became even more comical, his eyes widening like saucers: "???"
Young master, what have you agreed to? This is no joke; you could lose your life if you're not careful.
“I agree, I completely agree,” Ma Hehua immediately perked up.
Her eyes sparkled with excitement, as if she could already see a grand celebration about to unfold.
"Brother Chen, don't worry, my mother is an experienced matchmaker. She'll make sure it's all done perfectly for you. Don't worry!" Her voice was full of enthusiasm, like a burning fire.
Er Gou: "…………………………"
Forget it!
Lieutenant Chen was completely dumbfounded. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say: "………………"
