Chapter 201 Ingratitude and Deceit (36)
Due to the persistent high fever, Gu Yao was removed from the body.
0529, who had just been released from the dark room, sat next to Gu Yao and sighed softly as he watched people coming and going in the main room of the Shen residence.
Looking at the silly system beside him peeling candy wrappers, its face shining as it stared at a certain candy, Gu Yao silently turned his face away.
It's really embarrassing.
He didn't want to admit that this was his system.
With a slap on the system's back, 0529 watched the last piece of candy fall out, his heart filled with despair.
He turned to look at Gu Yao, his eyes full of accusation.
He was locked in a dark room all night and watched the core socialist values all night. When he came out, he wanted to eat a piece of candy, but Gu Yao knocked it away.
0529 The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and the sadness made her eyes sting.
Looking at those pale gold eyes that were misty with moisture, Gu Yao felt a strange sense of guilt.
"Little Jiu, if you want candy, you can buy it yourself later. I'll pay for it with points."
0529, with a pout, didn't hear Gu Yao's words at all. He raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and looked at the liquid on his hand, his eyes widening in surprise.
This was the first time he had ever encountered something like "tears".
Looking at the water droplets glistening on her fingertips, 0529 completely forgot about crying.
He held the tear up to Gu Yao's face, his expression excited. "Host, look at the tear! I have tears too!"
Only now does 0529 truly realize that he is no longer just a system that can only display a crying emoji when he is sad.
He took on human form.
Looking at the system in front of him, whose face was covered in tears yet still so excited, Gu Yao sighed inwardly.
What a useless and stupid system.
He handed the system a tissue and continued watching Ying Lian bustling around.
Looking at his body, which had turned into a hedgehog, Gu Yao shrank back in fright.
He turned his head, his face serious, "System, is there any item that can directly cure the poison in this body?"
0529 shook his head. "The poison in this body was not cured in the original storyline, and the system cannot intervene to change it."
Gu Yao sighed slightly and settled for second best, "There must be some props that can bring that half-dead body back to life, right?"
Hearing about this incident, 0529's resentment from being locked in a dark room overnight resurfaced. "Host, you can't act recklessly like this anymore. You knew that using your internal energy would trigger the poison in your body, yet you still did it with Bu Shaoluan under those circumstances..."
As it spoke, the system's gaze drifted to the body, and its voice grew softer and softer.
Instead, her ears turned bright red.
Seeing that the ears had turned red, Gu Yao realized that the system's hair seemed to have been cut shorter, revealing the full appearance of the ears.
Upon closer inspection, they're actually pointed elf ears?!
What kind of humanoid is this?!
Gu Yao was deeply shocked.
He saw 66 in human form as perfectly normal, so why was it so strange in his own system?
Surprisingly, it fits the personality of my own stupid system.
Quite...emm, all-natural.
Before he, the person involved, could even react, the system seemed to blush. He chuckled, "Does Xiao Jiu have such a prop?"
A clear and pleasant voice was right next to his ear. The system took a step back, raised his hand to touch his earlobe, and dared not look directly at Gu Yao.
"Of course, I'll exchange it for you right away, host."
The imposing manner that had just been criticizing others vanished in an instant.
Gu Yao smiled.

I woke up back in my body one night.
Ying Lian brought in the medicine, saw that the person was awake, quickly put down the tray, and helped the person up.
Gu Yao felt weak all over, and his bones ached with a dampness, as if he had been ripped apart and soaked in a frozen lake for many years, wet and cold.
Gu Yao even doubted whether his shinbone would break if he took a few steps now.
Ying Lian looked at Gu Yao, whose face was as white as a ghost, and wanted to say something, but hesitated several times.
Knowing that Gu Yao was powerless at the moment, he simply picked up the medicine bowl beside him and blew on it to cool it down, spoonful by spoonful.
Gu Yao obediently opened his mouth.
He had expected Ying Lian to unleash a barrage of sarcastic remarks, but instead, he found himself remarkably calm.
But it was precisely this calm that made Gu Yao even more uneasy.
Given Ying Lian's temperament, things shouldn't be like this.
When the bowl of dark medicine was empty, Ying Lian got up and prepared to leave.
Gu Yao pursed his lips and called out to Ying Lian.
"Brother!"
Ying Lian paused, then turned to look at Gu Yao.
"What's wrong with you today, Senior Brother?"
Ying Lian was so angry at Gu Yao's question that he laughed.
After giving Gu Yao a look that said "You'll figure it out yourself," he stormed out the door.
Han Shu was practicing his sword in the courtyard when he saw Ying Lian come out carrying a tray. He casually sheathed his sword and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"
Ying Lian handed the tray to a servant and took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the servant's sweat. "It's all because of A-Tang. He even asked me what happened? He still has the nerve to ask?!"
I had just told him to protect his own life, and then he gave me this huge surprise.
"If I let him stay in the capital any longer, I'll shorten my lifespan sooner or later! This time, I'm bringing him back to Medicine King Valley no matter what, and don't try to persuade me otherwise; it's useless."
Hearing these defiant words, Han Shu smiled slightly, reached out and grabbed Ying Lian's hand that was wiping his sweat, and asked in return, "Then are you confident that you can control Atang? Atang has that kind of personality, she won't turn back until she hits a brick wall, and now she's completely focused on that little emperor, can you stop her?"
Ying Lian, who had just been looking furious, was speechless.
He couldn't stop him.
Ying Lian looked at his wife with a resentful expression, then raised his other hand and tugged at Han Shu's sleeve. "Han Shu, give me some face."
Looking at Ying Lian, who looked aggrieved, Han Shu sighed softly.
Ying Lian's personality hasn't changed in over ten years. He was just as stubborn when he was aspiring to study, and he still is now.
He took the handkerchief from Ying Lian and walked into the house.
Ying Lian looked over, and Han Shu simply waved the handkerchief in his hand, "Consider this handkerchief my payment."
A white handkerchief embroidered with blood-nourishing herbs fluttered in the wind.
Ying Lian paused for a moment, looked at Han Shu's retreating figure, shook his head and smiled.
It really is the same as it was back then, not changed at all.
Han Shu entered carrying a sword. Gu Yao was leaning against the headboard when he heard the noise and looked up at the newcomer.
When Han Shu saw that bloodless face, and remembered Ying Lian's restlessness and insomnia a few days ago, he dragged a stool and sat down next to Gu Yao's bed.
The metal scabbard made a crisp clinking sound against the wooden bed frame.
Han Shu cut to the chase, staring intently at Gu Yao, "A Tang, you must have heard my conversation with Ying Lian. What are you thinking now?"
You should know your own body well. Even so, do you still want to stay in the capital?
