A Girl and Her Best Friends Time Travel to Ancient Times

Chapter 173

Sang Li was sitting in her office, looking at the message sent by Su Mo, feeling happy for her.

After all, the death of Wu Ying had a great impact on her in the past, and now being able to meet here was a kind of compensation for the regrets before.

After chatting with her girlfriends, Sang Li put down her phone and rubbed her temples.

She had just been to the hospital for an examination yesterday, and fortunately, everything was fine with the baby. However, being pregnant now made her more tired and sleepy than before. Luckily, she didn't have severe morning sickness, just occasional nausea.

Sang Li leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes.

Where would Gu Zhi be now?

At his age, he should still be in college, right?

In their world, it was normal for someone his age to get married and have children.

But in her case, Gu Zhi hadn't even reached the legal age for marriage yet, and now he was going to be a father.

If his classmates at school found out, what would they think of him?

Sang Li thought about these things and unintentionally fell asleep.

Being pregnant now, it was easy for her to fall asleep with her eyes closed.

After a while, the office door was pushed open.

"Ah Li..."

A man walked in and saw Sang Li sleeping on the sofa. He approached her and picked up a thin blanket from the sofa, covering her with it.

"Are you sick? You haven't seemed well these past few days."

The man stared at her face and suddenly reached out to caress her cheek, his expression filled with infatuation.

He had liked Sang Li for many years, ever since she worked under him. A beautiful, independent, and outstanding woman naturally attracted people.

But he had hinted at her many times, and Sang Li had always rejected him.

He couldn't understand why Sang Li would reject him, a successful man with talent.

The man glanced at her, then stood up preparing to leave.

But after taking a few steps, he seemed to remember something.

He took out a small box from his pocket and opened it, revealing a red bug about the size of an ant inside.

Memories from lunchtime rushed back.

"President Yang, this is a good thing, something money can't buy."

Yang Xu looked at the small box in front of him and reached out to open it, finding a red bug inside.

"President Zhou, you brought me a bug as a gesture of your company's sincerity for cooperation?" Yang Xu chuckled.

President Zhou explained quickly, "President Yang, this is no ordinary bug. It's a... Gu worm!"

Yang Xu furrowed his brows, "What did you say?"

President Zhou smiled meaningfully, "I know that President Yang has long had a favorable impression of your company's Sang Li, but she has always been lukewarm towards you. Perhaps this thing can help President Yang fulfill your wishes."

Yang Xu immediately closed the box and said coldly, "Are you investigating me?"

President Zhou smiled cheekily and said, "President Yang, we can only achieve cooperation by catering to one's preferences, right?"

Yang Xu paused for a moment before asking, "Where did you get this thing?"

"This thing is certainly not easy to obtain. The Gu worms of the Miao Territory have long been lost, and no one knows how to cultivate them anymore. I accidentally obtained this from a master in the Miao Territory! As long as you drip a drop of your blood on this worm and let it enter the other person's bloodstream, the person who is cursed will love you wholeheartedly for a lifetime."

"Why should I believe that this is true?"

"Mr. Yang, this project collaboration is important to me. I have no reason to deceive you. What benefit would I gain from lying to you?"

Yang Xu paused and asked, "Does this thing have any effects on the body?"

"Mr. Yang, rest assured, it won't have any effects naturally."

...

Yang Xu looked at the small worm in the box and then glanced at Sang Li, who was sleeping on the sofa.

After hesitating for a moment, he walked over, took out a fruit knife from the drawer, pricked his own finger, and let the fresh blood drip onto the worm. The blood was immediately absorbed by the worm.

Yang Xu was stunned by the scene, and he looked at Sang Li's fair fingers. Nervously and cautiously, he poured the worm onto the back of Sang Li's hand.

As soon as the worm touched the skin, it spat out a small needle that pierced the blood vessel on Sang Li's hand.

Yang Xu nervously stared at the worm and suddenly noticed the silver bell on Sang Li's wrist shaking, emitting a pleasant jingling sound.

The red worm seemed to sense something was wrong and immediately turned around, dropping from her hand to the ground.

Seeing this, Yang Xu immediately crawled to find the worm, wanting to put it back in the box. But the little creature seemed to sense a great threat to its life and crawled away quickly.

Just as it crawled out through the crack of the door, Yang Xu hurriedly opened it and saw it burrow into someone's trouser leg.

"Mr. Yang, what... what are you doing?"

Yang Xu slowly raised his head and saw a short, fat, bald subordinate looking at him with confusion.

"Um... I... dropped something, I was looking for it." Yang Xu quickly stood up and composed himself.

"What did you drop? Do you need me to help you find it?" the subordinate immediately offered.

"No, I've already found it. You... what are you doing in Sang's office?"

"Oh, there's a document that needs Sang's signature."

"Sang is tired. Let her rest for a while. Come back later," Yang Xu said.

"Oh, I see... then I'll come back later."

As the subordinate was about to leave, Sang Li's voice came from inside, "Come in."

She was awakened by the sound of the bell, but after waking up, she found that the bell bracelet was still securely worn on her wrist.

Yang Xu awkwardly made way, and the subordinate glanced at him before entering with the document.

After Sang Li signed the document, the subordinate left.

She looked at Yang Xu and asked, "Mr. Yang, did you come to see me about something?"

Yang Xu felt a bit guilty and came up with an excuse, "I... I wanted to discuss the project with you. I saw you were asleep, so I was about to leave."

"Then come over and have a seat. I also need to report some project matters to you," Sang Li tidied up the files on the desk.

Yang Xu breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that she hadn't noticed anything unusual and walked over.

...

In a villa, inside a very simple room, Gu Zhi sat in front of the computer dealing with some matters.

Suddenly, he felt a heat rising within his body, his blood boiling, and the gu worms inside him seemed to be gradually awakening.

Frowning, Gu Zhi placed his hands on the desk.

He slowly raised his eyes and saw his reflection in the mirror, his right eye had turned red.

"How could this happen?"

He had been here for more than ten years, and the gu worms in his body had never awakened before.

Because back in the Miao Territory, when he was ten years old, his father gave him that bell, which was used to cultivate the gu worms, and that was when the gu worms in his body were awakened.

But when he transmigrated here, he was only eight years old and didn't have the bell at all, so the gu worms in his body remained dormant.

With a gloomy face, Gu Zhi suddenly thought of something.

"The bell? Could it be my sister?"

However, she was in danger, someone was trying to harm her with gu worms!

Gu Zhi stood up in an instant, just as he was opening the door, he coincidentally bumped into the butler.

The butler instinctively prepared to scold Gu Zhi, but when he saw Gu Zhi's red eyes and gloomy face, he was so frightened that the plate in his hands fell to the ground.

"Who... who are you?"

As an illegitimate child of the Gu family, since being brought back, Gu Zhi hadn't been treated well. The servants of the Gu family didn't pay him any attention at all, and even followed Lady Gu in mocking him.

He had always been obedient and weak, but now he looked as if he was about to kill!

With a dark face, Gu Zhi approached him and grabbed the butler's neck, and several worms suddenly climbed out of his hand, frightening the butler.

Gu Zhi's eyes were filled with a poisonous look. Despite having the appearance of a weakling, his words sent shivers down people's spines, "If you dare to speak of what you saw today, I will make you... wish you were dead!"
