A month later, Su Chen not only recovered completely, but even gained a few pounds.
"Did Mo Yun fail to refine that damn Gu worm?" Su Chen asked happily, crunching away on a white radish.
[Impossible! The poison developed by the villain is absolutely effective and guaranteed to be of high quality!] A certain system stared blankly at the empty taskbar in the space.
Ever since the male and female protagonists met half a month ago, the system has been waiting in the space every day for tasks.
The system wondered: "Logically, the plot should be getting to a heart-wrenching point, so why are the male and female leads still all lovey-dovey and sweet?"
"Isn't it good that the male and female leads are all lovey-dovey?" Su Chen rolled her eyes. "Can't you stand seeing other people doing well?"
【No... what should have happened didn't happen. The plot will probably change drastically. If we let the plot develop like this, the world will collapse!】 The system became more and more panicked as it spoke.
"Oh, it's just adding a little angst to the male and female leads! You just wait." Su Chen tossed the white radish head aside and clapped her hands. "I'll find the big villain right now!"
As he spoke, he tiptoed off, singing a little tune, and ran away.

Mo Yun: "I can't move this Gu worm."
Su Chen: "Why can't the Gu you created be moved?"
Mo Yun: "You are the host of the Gu worm."
Su Chen: "The Gu worm won't listen to me either." She had tried talking to the Gu worm before, but it didn't even move.
Mo Yun remained silent.
Su Chen: "Then... do you have any more Heart-Eating Gu?"
"No."
Su Chen: "Please refine another one, sir."
"It can't be refined."
...
The two remained silent for a while.
Su Chen hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "Is there a cure for this poison?"
Mo Yun stared at her for a while as if she were a fool before replying, "The heart's blood of the one who loves you."
"Pfft..." Su Chen couldn't help but complain to the system in her heart: "What kind of melodramatic plot is this? It's the heart's blood of the person who loves me. Why doesn't he just say it's the hair of the person who hates me?"
[Well... the original author wrote it rather melodramatically! Didn't all the angst-filled stories used to follow this formula? Don't bother complaining.]
Su Chen thought of a few sad things before she could suppress her laughter.
Remembering the purpose of her visit today, Su Chen humbly asked, "I mainly came to ask you today, um... how do you torture two people who like each other to the point of wishing they were dead?"
Mo Yun thought about it seriously for a while and said, "The feeling of one person dying and the two people being separated by life and death is worse than death."
Su Chen shuddered upon hearing this. "Is there a gentler method that won't kill anyone?"
Mo Yun raised his hand and stroked his chin, then said, "It is also painful to force one of them to marry someone else, to be unable to have what one desires."
Su Chen thought to herself: Where am I supposed to find a new partner for the male or female lead? I can't even find one for myself.
"Is there... any other way?" Su Chen felt like she was being picky but had no choice but to ask.
Mo Yun thought about it for a long time this time, and even picked up the wolf hair brush and bit the handle of the brush. "There is also the matter of making the two of them misunderstand."
"How do we create a misunderstanding?" Su Chen instantly pulled out a small notebook from her bosom, ready to take notes.
"I don't know." Mo Yun lowered his hand. "I've never been in contact with a woman, and I feel that it's too foolish for two people to fall in love with each other."
System: [He means that it's stupid for men and women to be together; it's more interesting to concoct poisons.]
Su Chen: ...
It seems she asked the wrong person today.
