No matter how much Liu Mang pressed her for answers during their journey, Bai Susu simply refused to tell.
It wasn't that Bai Susu was unwilling to speak; she just couldn't bring herself to say it out loud.
Her Gold Silkworm Gu had been inside Liu Mang's stomach for some time now.
After such a long period without migrating to her body, it unexpectedly returned today—because she had sucked Liu Mang's blood.
In other words, the Gold Silkworm Gu was willing to return to her body only because it contained a bit of Liu Mang's bloodline.
Of course, having Liu Mang's bloodline didn't mean she was carrying Liu Mang's child; it just meant she had absorbed some of his blood.
Even though it was just a little bit, there was no doubt that Liu Mang's presence was now within her body.
The Gold Silkworm Gu must have acknowledged Liu Mang's bloodline when it returned to her, essentially still regarding him as its master.
