Comeback Of The Abandoned Wife Chapter 16: Bewitched Worm

Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Hei Xin hired a group of carpenters who were not only excellent at skills but also working fast. It spent them only one day to get the room ready and made a 12-feet wide bed, and as well as a 12-feet wide quilt. Hei Xin also told them to stuff the bed underneath so that no one could break it.

After nightfall, Wu Ruo stood in front of the big bed and watched it for a long time. If it were not for the quilt, he would have thought it was not a bed, but a small room.

With the support of the bedposts, he sat on the bed and thought, was Hei Xuanyi really going to sleep on the same bed with him?

They had never slept on the same bed in last life. Was it because his att.i.tude towards him had changed this life so everything had changed?

Wu Ruo sighed.

Fine! Let it be! It was a super big size bed. They'd barely touch each other. Besides, he and Hei Xuanyi were men. There was no need to worry about Hei Xuanyi might hara.s.s him as a woman. Besides, as this fat as he was, how would Hei Xuanyi be possible to have feelings for him?

Wu Ruo laughed at himself.

He took himself too seriously. Sleeping on the same bed didn't mean Hei Xuanyi would be interested in him.

Wu Ruo tucked him in.

Soon, Hei Xuanyi walked in the room. His hair was not dried yet. He took off his gown, lied next to Wu Ruo and flicked a finger to put out the candle.

Wu Ruo rolled over and over again as he was not accustomed to sleep next to someone else. The cold wind got into the cover, making his body difficult to warm up.

“Sleep.” Hei Xuanyi said with his deep voice.

If he could sleep, he wouldn't be rolling over. Wu Ruo rolled his eyes and turned his back to Hei Xuanyi.

Suddenly an arm was put around his waist and the man behind him moved closer to him.

Wu Ruo froze there, feeling the heat of Hei Xuanyi's body.

He moved a bit, trying to get rid of his arm. But the man asked, “do you have spiritual power?”

As Wu Ruo already felt his spiritual power inside his body, he had to confess, “I was born with spiritual power but got sealed. The Longevity Slab my grandfather gives me helped unseal it.”

He had intended to keep it a secret for a longer time. But he was busted so soon.

Hei Xuanyi's spiritual power stopped around Wu Ruo's spiritual land. Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes, “bewitched worm?”

Wu Ruo was surprised, “can you feel the bewitched worm in my body?”

For so many years, his parents had never investigated the bewitched worm in his body. But Hei Xuanyi just took a second to find out its existence. No wonder the mysterious man was afraid of him.

Wu Ruo hesitated and explained, “I was poisoned with such a bewitched worm when my mother was still pregnant with me. That is why I am so fat.”

As soon as he finished his explanation, his belly was squeezed by Hei Xuanyi. The pain made him frown. Maybe because he and Hei Xuanyi spent the last life for more than a decade, he could actually understand that Hei Xuanyi was blaming him not to get rid of the worm sooner since he already knew why.

“I didn't find it out until recently.” Wu Ruo lied.

It was a fatal worm which could absorb his spiritual power, meaning that it was vain no matter how hard he cultivated. The worm would extinguish all his power. That was why he was not in hurry to cultivate. Without spiritual power, he would get fatter and fatter, until he explored someday.

In last life, he got rid of the worm before he unsealed his spiritual power. Therefore, his power was fine. However, when his master s.h.i.+fu told him what risks he might be going through, he was intimidated. Because his body would explode if he started to get rid of the worm in a few months.

The man who poisoned him not only aimed to stop him from gaining spiritual power but also from living.

There was coldness in Hei Xuanyi's eyes. He gently rubbed his stomach and then sent a trace of spiritual power into his body. Soon the power was taken away by the worm.

Wu Ruo was surprised by how familiar he was to this.

In last life when he was learning how to get rid of bewitched worms, he had the same feeling that someone had rubbed his stomach at night but he had never seen anyone when he woke up. He had never grown fat during those days. Was it…?

Wu Ruo rolled over.

Hei Xuanyi took his hand back and rolled over.

Looking at his back, Wu Ruo was disappointed.
