Gu Yuan had just swallowed the piece of meat.
The girl beside him suddenly emanated fluctuations of the power of rules.
The power of rules enveloped her, as though something were tearing at her body.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Just as I thought, there's no problem! This is it, this is it!"
When the owner noticed the changes in the girl, a crazed smile spread across his face.
Damn it, finally, finally someone had paid the price.
He had thought the treasure had failed. So many bowls had been eaten, yet nothing had changed.
"What's happening?"
The girl's voice was filled with pain. She struggled endlessly, as though she had fallen into some kind of mire.
Pain swept through her entire body.
It felt as if countless things were surging within her.
Her body was also expanding.
At this moment, the girl was like a balloon being inflated, swelling and swelling without end.
Buzzzzz!
Trembling sounds came from within the girl's body.
The girl no longer resembled a human. Her entire body was nothing more than a thin membrane.
A balloon—yes, that was the most fitting description, and a gigantic balloon at that.
Her delicate face was no more. Blood seeped from her cracked skin.
She simply could not understand why she had only eaten one meal while that man had eaten several, yet nothing had happened to him while she had become like this.
"Save me! Save me!"
The girl cried out, but it was no longer as gentle as before. Even her voice had changed.
She looked at Gu Yuan, her eyes filled with pleading, begging for a chance to live.
But it was useless.
Gu Yuan merely glanced at her before continuing to eat the food before him.
The girl fell into utter despair.
Crack!
A breaking sound rang out.
