Chapter 1696: Chapter 1696: Evolution (4)

“It has awakened!” Tang Wanqian stared at Yang Ruxin’s wrist, his eyes nearly bulging out.

Yu Qingge was also amazed: “This thing didn’t move at all when it was in my palm. I thought it was dead, but here, it’s so lively? Sister, your blood must be fragrant!” Saying that, he bared his teeth at her hand, “I must taste a bit…”

“Go away!” Yang Ruxin pushed away the mischievous Yu Qingge, “Stop fooling around, do you think you’re a vampire?”

Yu Qingge pouted.

However, the thin lines on the wrist continued to increase, finally wrapping around three times and stopping, resembling a bracelet.

“Xinxin.” Tang Wanqian stroked his small beard and smiled, “Actually, Keke is not wrong, perhaps your blood really is different from others.”

“Haha.” Yang Ruxin laughed, “Is it possible that mine is like Tang Seng’s? Consume it and become immortal?”

“Who is Tang Seng?” Tang Wanqian frowned.

“Uh…”

Wu Cheng’en was from the Ming Dynasty, and at this time “Journey to the West” hadn’t been written yet.

“I know, Tang Seng was a monk from the Tang Dynasty, eating his flesh would grant immortality. So, when he journeyed to retrieve scriptures from the West, many monsters wanted to eat him, but he had a great disciple named Sun Wukong who was very powerful…” Sini started speaking animatedly.

The other children certainly joined in, chattering away.

Previously, Yang Ruxin used to tell them stories from the four great classics of later generations, among which “Journey to the West” was the most popular. The children could even recite it themselves; Sun Wukong was their hero.

“Master, he’s a character from the stories I told them.” Yang Ruxin explained.

“Alright, no matter who it is, your constitution and blood are truly different.” Tang Wanqian looked at Yang Ruxin, “Perhaps you haven’t noticed, but that Heart Poisonous Insect has been evolving to its highest stage within you over just a year…”

Yang Ruxin raised her hand to touch her brow. The Heart Poisonous Insect had entered their bodies from here, and since there was no discomfort, she had never paid it much attention. It wasn’t until Gu Qingheng had an accident that she realized the thing was really quite miraculous; she could indeed sense Gu Qingheng’s danger.

But how did Tang Wanqian know the insect had evolved within her?

“Perhaps you yourself haven’t noticed, others unfamiliar with you might not detect it, but those two insects were raised by me, so I naturally could tell. You now carry a faint scent…”

Yang Ruxin nodded. Previously, Li Jiaya had asked if she used any fragrance powder and where she bought it, wanting to study it and see if she could mix it herself.

But she never used any powder.

It turned out to be due to the Heart Poisonous Insect.

However, she’s already fifteen, yet her menstruation hasn’t come. Could it be related to her constitution? But there is no conclusion yet, so she set it aside, instead raising her wrist: “Will this one evolve too?”

“Ancestral records state that when the lines on your wrist turn golden and can be hidden or revealed at your will, then the insect has reached its highest stage…”

Yang Ruxin nodded, it sounded impressive, so let’s wait and see.
