Curled up under the covers in bed, Su Yuan could only pray that this plan would work…
After all, at this point, aside from this idea, he truly couldn't think of any other viable or realistic options.
Since the rules hinted that he needed to return to Furina's bed before she did—
Then all he had to do… was redefine what counted as Furina's home.
If this place was her home now, then the bed within it would naturally become Furina's bed.
And now, he had just accomplished that in name and action—
He returned to her bed one step ahead of her!
Do all that you can, and leave the rest to fate…
Now, all he could do was wait and see whether "Furina" would accept this outcome.
Before long, Su Yuan felt "Furina" climbing onto the bed—
and lying down right beside him…
Su Yuan finally let out a small breath of relief.
It seemed like "Furina" had accepted his reasoning.
Not only did she refrain from attacking him—she even lay down at his side…
But Su Yuan also understood that for now, he could only breathe a temporary sigh of relief...
Because the rule reminders also made it clear:
Before dawn on the second day, no matter what happens, he absolutely must not leave the bed even half a step.
Thinking back to that first night after crossing over to Teyvat, and everything he went through—
just recalling it made Su Yuan feel a bit nauseous…
He hoped that tonight, "Furina" wouldn't feed him those disgusting bugs again…
Speaking of bugs, Su Yuan found himself feeling a bit puzzled…
Where exactly did "Furina's" bugs come from?
And what were they made of? Could they be formed by the eerie power?
But later on, after facing so many eerie phenomena, it seemed that the eerie power was usually just used to suppress opponents' movements, or to attach to weapons and attacks to boost one's offensive power…
It seemed that besides "Furina," no one else had ever been able to condense eerie power into a tangible form—let alone the shape of bugs…
"Furina"—is she really special?
Why does she act this way?
What kind of secret does she carry within her?
"Darling, I think I'm a little hungry…"
Just then, "Furina," lying beside Su Yuan, suddenly sat up on the bed and said:
"How about we have a late-night snack together…"
Su Yuan: …
Just what he feared was happening again… more bugs to eat, wasn't it…
Su Yuan took a deep breath, trying to calm the restless feelings stirred by fear, nervousness, and disgust.
He slowly sat up from the bed.
He made up his mind—no matter what happened, he would endure it.
He would hold on until the sun rose the next day.
He must survive!!!
"Alright then, my dear Fufu, I'll have a late-night snack with you…"
Su Yuan forced a smile and spoke with a strained calm.
Seeing Su Yuan so cooperative and proactive, "Furina" also showed a delighted expression…
Then, "Furina" opened her terrifying mouth lined with tiny sharp teeth inside, and from deep in her throat, she vomited out several long, thin worms that were pitch black and scarlet…
If the bugs from last time looked like caterpillars, these this time resembled long, slender worms like horsehair worms or nematodes…
But no matter what, judging by their appearance, these worms must taste extremely "delicious"…
"Furina" grabbed the longest and thickest worm and held it out in front of Su Yuan, saying, "Ah, darling, open your mouth…"
Su Yuan looked at the disgusting worm before him, swallowed hard, then mustered up the courage and opened his mouth…
"Furina" placed the worm into Su Yuan's mouth, but before he could chew or swallow, the worm immediately burrowed straight down into his throat…
As the worm dug in, Su Yuan instantly felt a choking sensation, coughing several times before he finally calmed down…
Su Yuan let out a slight sigh of relief.
Although the sensation was unpleasant—almost like being violated—it was still better than the disgusting taste of that caterpillar that had exploded in his mouth before, which was far more nauseating.
Su Yuan felt that having eaten one worm, he could consider this challenge somewhat overcome…
He just hoped that "Furina" wouldn't pull any more tricks afterward, and that she would simply sleep peacefully so he could safely get through the night and see the sun rise.
But just then, a little boy's voice suddenly echoed in Su Yuan's mind:
"Big Brother Su Yuan, go to Sister Furina and ask for another one of these worms to eat…"
Su Yuan: ???
"Hey? What do you mean by that? I just barely got through that part, and now you want me to find more trouble for myself?"
Unable to understand, Su Yuan responded to the boy in his mind:
"And also, have you been here all along? When Furina appeared earlier, why didn't you help me think of a way out?"
"Big Brother Su Yuan, trust me, you can't go wrong…"
The little boy spoke sincerely and seriously:
"This worm isn't an ordinary worm…"
"Big Brother Su Yuan, haven't you noticed that after eating this worm, your physical condition has become much stronger?"
"Based on my initial guess, your constitution is special—no matter what kind of power, you can easily assimilate and absorb it…"
"And this seemingly disgusting worm is actually entirely formed from an extremely pure and concentrated Eerie power…"
"More importantly, within this Eerie power, there doesn't seem to be any malice or negative meaning, which is why you can absorb it so easily…"
"Big Brother Su Yuan!!!"
The little boy said excitedly:
"So what are you still hesitating about? This is the fastest way for you to get stronger!"
"It's just a bit of suffering and some grossness, right?"
"If I were you, I definitely wouldn't hesitate for a second!"
Hearing the little boy say this, Su Yuan hesitated for a moment but then felt the boy made a good point!
Endure the bitter to be the best!
"My dear Fufu, I don't think I'm full yet…"
Su Yuan looked at "Furina" and said,
"Can I eat a little more?"
Hearing Su Yuan say this, "Furina" immediately showed a delighted expression and excitedly said:
"That's great, darling. I was worried that the late-night snack I prepared wouldn't suit your taste…"
"But now it seems I was overthinking…"
"However, you can only eat one more, okay?"
"Don't bite off more than you can chew; eating too much won't be good for your body either…"
"Furina" said as she picked up another bug and held it out to Su Yuan…
Without hesitation, Su Yuan swallowed it whole!
"Big brother Su Yuan, see? I told you, this bug is definitely something good. Sister Furina even made it limited edition!"
The little boy chuckled mischievously in Su Yuan's mind.
