The true appearance is very hopeless

With the delicate and lovely little bug girl in my arms, I walked while thinking to myself that it's no wonder why the hunter went crazy after seeing her back then. Honestly, my own feelings at this moment are also quite strange. If I wasn't constantly using my spiritual technique to resist the aphrodisiac effect of the incense, I'm afraid I would have turned into a complete beast and ravaged the little bug girl to death.

Regardless of what the little bug girl originally looked like, at least her current appearance is full of heartwarming cuteness everywhere.

She lay quietly in my arms with her small hands clasped in front of her chest. Her big eyes blinked as if she was observing me while her eyelashes fluttered lightly like a small fan. My expression was filled with kindness as I smiled at her.

Seeing my expression, she seemed to realize something and suddenly stretched out her slender arm made of jade and hugged my neck before snuggling up against me.

Her actions caught me off guard but it wasn't appropriate for me to push her away so reluctantly, just like an adult holding a child, I held onto her tightly in my embrace.

The little bug girl must have been tired because after being held by me for a while, she fell asleep soundly on my shoulder. I gently put her down and looked at her peaceful face which softened my heart even more.

Could such an adorable and delicate person really be a moth?

I don't believe it! Absolutely not!

For a moment, my mental world collapsed as confusion took over. At that time, all I wished for was that this road would never end so that I could continue holding onto her without letting go or hurting her.

Unfortunately though our journey wasn't long nor did we spend much time walking until we arrived at an open space surrounded by mushroom forests where Jietou and others were already waiting anxiously, peering down from above.

"Oh my god, Liu YiHeng, you finally came back! If you didn't come back, I would have thought you were dead!" JIETOU was the first to speak upon seeing me.

"Are you all okay?" I had been thinking about Little Bug Girl's situation and wasn't in the mood to chat with JIETOU.

"We're fine. What are you holding in your arms?" As a woman, Xie Yilin was interested in something completely different from JIETOU.

"Yeah, what are you holding? It looks like a child." Reminded by Xie Yilin's words, JIETOU finally noticed Little Bug Girl in my arms.

"You should all know her," I said as I jumped onto the mushroom hill and gently put Little Bug Girl down from my arms.

"This is--"

After putting her down, the three of them looked at her and couldn't help but show expressions of surprise on their faces.

"This is Bug Girl?!" Finally, it was Xie Yilin who reacted first and revealed Little Bug Girl's identity.

"I remember now. Teacher Xie once told us about the story of Bug Girl. Could this be the same one mentioned in that story? This thing actually exists!" JIETOU also exclaimed with amazement.

"That should be right. I've heard of the story too," Chi Qingshuai nodded his head.

"Sob sob--"

The voices of three people woke up Little Bug Girl. She rubbed her eyes and turned to see Xie Yilin and others. She trembled with fear before quickly crawling over to me and jumping into my arms again.

"Tsk tsk tsk...not bad at all. She seems very attached to you. Hey hey...didn't expect it huh? Liu YiHeng has quite a way with women," Upon seeing Little Bug Girl's actions, Xie Yilin couldn't help but say sourly.

"Uh, Teacher Xie, you got it wrong. Liu YiHeng doesn't have a way with women, he has a way with moths. Don't you remember? The true form of this Bug Girl is actually a big moth," JIETOU said and then couldn't help but scratch his head: "Speaking of which, I just remembered that we all smelled the fragrance before. So we must be poisoned now and that's why we can see this Bug Girl in human form. This isn't good news because the scent also has an aphrodisiac effect. If it continues to last for too long, it will definitely affect our actions. So I suggest we solve this Bug Girl quickly and detoxify ourselves as soon as possible so that we can continue on without delay."

"What do you want to do?" I hid Little Bug Girl in my arms and frowned at JIETOU.

"I f*cking can't believe it, Liu YiHeng, are you bewitched by this little bug girl? Don't you know? We're all poisoned now and the only way to detoxify is to use her bodily fluids," JIETOU frowned tightly.

"But there's no need to kill her!" I said in a deep voice.

"What if we don't kill her? Are we supposed to bring her along with us or let her go? Aren't you afraid she'll pass our information on to those damn Mo Du Yin Hun (evil spirits)? Do you want us to fail and die here?" JIETOU looked at me and asked.

JIETOU's words made me feel guilty. In the end, I could only stutter: "Um... I think... I don't think she's one of Mo Du Yin Hun's minions. So, maybe we don't have to be so ruthless. Let's just let her go."

"What about our poison?" Xie Yilin furrowed her brows and asked.

"Get a syringe," I had no choice but to make concessions. I asked Xie Yilin for a syringe while comforting the little bug girl with hushed whispers. Then, as she extended out an arm, I drew half a syringe of black liquid from it.

"Okay, we've got the antidote now. You guys should detoxify first." I handed the syringe over to Xie Yilin.

"Is this oral medication or injection or do we just smell it?" Holding the syringe in hand, Xie Yilin was somewhat at a loss.

"You idiot! What did they say in stories? Have you forgotten already? Of course it's smelling it! Just put some drops near your nostrils," as I spoke, taking back the syringe from them; then dripping two drops into my own nostrils before passing it back to them.

"Hiss--"

The black liquid entered my nostrils, and a foul smell came over me. I shuddered involuntarily, but then my mind suddenly cleared up and I felt much better. After that, I nervously turned my head to look at the little bug girl in my arms. But as soon as I saw her true form - a moth covered in fur and white powder - I couldn't help but sigh with disappointment and let go of her.

As expected, she was very ugly, even disgusting and somewhat creepy. So, I was disappointed and hopeless.

"Squeak-squeak...wuuu..."

After being pushed away by me, the moth made a series of squeaking sounds before crawling towards me again trying to jump into my arms.

"Get away from me! You're so gross!" Instinctively reaching out to push her away; however, what happened next surprised me: when touching her body this time around it still felt smooth instead of rough like fur all over.

What's going on? Could it be that the poison hasn't completely dissipated yet?

This situation left me puzzled for a while; unable to figure out what exactly was happening.
