Chapter 376 *sobs*
Jiang Yuxi felt that Frederick's words were a bit hard to judge.

What does it mean to describe a "tattered, rusty insect, like faded, old metal. It's small, ugly, and strange"?
Jiang Yuxi asked him with a questioning look in her eyes: Are you sure?

Frederick nodded with absolute certainty: "It's ugly, extremely ugly, really extremely ugly." He emphasized it three times.

Zhu Xia cried: "Waaaah—Principal Xixi~"

The thought of having such an ugly worm inside his body made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Duoduo, we are the best of friends, please give me deworming medicine, I don't want such ugly bugs on my body..." His tears fell down in a steady stream.

Doris hugged him tenderly, her chubby little hands gently patting Zhu Xia's back: "Zhu Xia, don't cry."

Zhu Xia was still very sad: "Duo Duo, Director Ye said the bugs in my body are ugly. I hope I didn't get infected by them."

He's not a little cub anymore; he knows that ugliness is contagious! He can't even imagine how sad he would be if he got infected and turned into the ragged bear cub that Principal Aye described.

Doris took out a lot of insect repellent from his spatial bracelet.

This was a deworming medicine he had tried to refine when he was learning from Jiang Yuxi and "supplying" Perez.

The selection is comprehensive; at least all the deworming medications he mentioned in class are available.

Phil and Bernie also realized what was happening and hurriedly pulled out their own supplies.

It still had all sorts of healing medicines, a complete range of varieties.

They are all important members of the school clinic. In the past few days, Principal Xixi worked day and night to prepare deworming medicine, and they naturally participated in the preliminary work.

They heard what Principal Xixi and the big client said.

Deworming is really bad for your health!
These medicines are all needed by Zhu Xia.

The other cubs also came over to comfort the crying little bear cub.

Boer: "Zhuxia, don't cry, you definitely won't get infected~"

Leo: "Don't be afraid, even if you get infected and become super ugly, I won't dislike you~!"

Tang Lexuan: "You're a male, why do you cry even more than me? If you keep crying, you'll be even uglier."

Meng Youwei: "Don't cry, Principal Xixi will cheer you up!"

……

The comforting words from her classmates only made Zhu Xia more heartbroken.

In the end, Black Ink could only tug at García's school uniform.

Gacio reluctantly pulled out the cookies he had redeemed with his little red flowers last week but hadn't been able to eat, tore open the packaging, and stuffed them directly into the mouth of the wailing little bear cub.

It must be said that this tactic was remarkably effective.

While Zhu Xia was crying, something was suddenly stuffed into her mouth. Her first reaction was to chew it a couple of times.

Wow, these are savory meat-flavored biscuits! So delicious!
He forgot all about his previous crying and focused intently on munching on the cookie in his mouth.

This flavor is the most expensive meat cookie in the Little Red Flower redemption machine!

Zhu Xia squinted her eyes happily, which, combined with the tear stains on her face, made the adult beastmen present both laugh and cry.

Finally, it stopped, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Frederick: If we don't stop now, he can't guarantee that Zhu Xia won't lose weight in the next month.

Doris pushed everything he, Phil, and Bernie had brought out in front of Jiang Yuxi and Frederick.

"Director Xixi, Director Aye, can we use these bamboo shoots?"

Jiang Yuxi approved of the cubs' behavior, but...

“These medicines are not of the appropriate grade for Zhu Xia.”

Phil: "Is it because the bugs on Zhu Xia's body are too powerful?" This was the only reason Phil could think of.

Jiang Yuxi nodded: "Don't worry, with the principal and teachers here, Zhu Xia will be fine."

The three little ones grunted in agreement. The bear in question also gave a loud grunt.

Indeed, with the principal and teachers present, their biggest concern about the insects in the body is that they "cheat" or "get infected and become ugly."

On the contrary, they are not worried at all about the issues that should really be of concern.

In their little minds, Principal Xixi, Principal Aye, and Teacher Yiyi are the most powerful beastmen in the world. With them around, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Jiang Yuxi asked Zhu Xia to sit down and wanted to use her mental energy to examine his body again carefully.

Frederick caught her outstretched fingertip with lightning speed.

"You tell me, I'll do it." Although the advanced female insect inside Zhu Xia's body did not show any aggressive tendencies, he was still worried.

Jiang Yuxi's tone left no room for argument: "I'll do it." She would only feel at ease after checking it herself.

Her mental energy entered Zhu Xia's body, and she quickly discovered the ugly, small, and strange insect that Frederick had mentioned.

The insect is only 0.5 centimeters thick and 3 centimeters long.

The insect's overall appearance is indeed quite... indescribable.

She used her mental power to slowly approach the little insect.

Five centimeters, four centimeters, three centimeters...

Her mental energy touched the strange insect without any hindrance.

A small wisp of spiritual energy carefully poked the chubby creature, eliciting a soft, childlike "whimpering" sound.

Jiang Yuxi was silent for a moment. She seemed to detect a timid fear in her voice.
How could a Gu worm possibly have emotions?

They have no consciousness, only an inescapable rage and bloodlust.

Once out of control, it will instantly go berserk and transform into the most terrifying bloodthirsty monster.

Her spiritual energy threads were unaffected, but the strange worm seemed frightened, curling up into a ball with its head buried stupidly under its body.

Waaaaah, that scared the beast to death!

Jiang Yuxi pondered for a moment and concluded: Is it... scared? Unsure, should we try again?

Her spiritual energy threads gently poked at it again.

"嘤嘤嘤——"

A clear cry came from the strand of mental energy that had come into contact with it.

Jiang Yuxi paused for a moment, then increased the force slightly.

"Waaaaah! Waaaaah—" She curled up even more tightly, still trembling.

The other party even made a rhythmic "ooh".

Fear, unease, and other negative emotions emanated from this strange insect. She could sense its fear, but it showed no intention of attacking her whatsoever.
Looking at the trembling figure, Jiang Yuxi almost began to doubt her own identity and stance.

Isn't this reaction and situation a bit off? Why is she acting like a bully?
It was clearly the other person who entered Zhu Xia's body, and she hasn't done anything yet.

She withdrew her mental energy with a complicated expression.

Now I understand why Frederick looked so pale after the examination.

It is indeed a very strange Gu worm.

In the past, if a host invaded by Gu worms was not treated in time, he would either eventually become a breeding ground for Gu worms and his body would be completely eaten up by the Gu worms that multiplied in his body; or he would become a puppet of the Gu controller.

Neither outcome is a good ending.

However, Zhu Xia's situation at this time was far beyond her expectations.

The little chubby boy's body was very robust and healthy, and his body was clean. He did not appear to have been used as a breeding ground, nor did he show any signs of having his mental power controlled. Otherwise, she would have noticed something was wrong long ago.

On the contrary, it established some kind of connection with the Gu worms in her body, which seemed to be beneficial to Zhu Xia's cultivation?
But no matter what, we still have to find the bug.
