Chương 65: Chapter 65 : A Parasitic Pet

A week later, Lady Song and Zhang Zhiyuan went to visit the Wuyang Palace with a lot of betrothal gifts. Although both palaces had agreed on the match, custom dictated that there must be a certain waiting period between the steps starting from the courting to the wedding.

Zhang Fengxi was grateful for the waiting period, because he was currently stuck in a serious predicament.

"Huff...!!! Huff...!!!"

"Prince Zhang Fengxi, what's wrong?"

Commandant Jiang helped his student up. They had just been training for an hour but then his usually so formidable student became so exhausted that he literally fell during a practice duel.

Zhang Fengxi struggled to maintain consciousness.

"I am... fine," he choked out although he was far from being fine.

Having a Gu Worm inside one's body was like having a pet that one could not discipline. The Gu Worm did not follow Zhang Fengxi's resting pattern. It kept slithering around and prevented Zhang Fengxi from falling asleep.
