Chapter 208: The Demonic Insect
"clap clap"
Jinzhou fell into the basin and kept slapping the water with its tail in protest.
Water splashed everywhere, but Ling Yi and Ji Yanzhi were prepared. One of them erected a barrier in front of him, while the other simply dodged it.
"If you don't stop, we won't get anything to eat today," Ling Yi said, standing not far away and watching the little mermaid splashing water.
Upon hearing this, Jin Zhou fell silent.
Ling Yi walked back and held up a finger to Jin Zhou: "Be careful with the amount. If you inhale too much and end up drinking poison, it's not my problem."
Jin Zhou stretched out his two chubby little hands, grabbed Ling Yi's hand, and bit it.
After biting it open, it started sucking wildly.
Judging that it was about time, Jin Zhou hadn't stopped, and Ling Yi didn't stop him, directly releasing the poison.
When the taste of the blood changed, Jin Zhou stopped. He wanted to spit it out, but it was blood, and he couldn't bear to. He could only look at Ling Yi pitifully.
Ling Yi showed no mercy: "You want to drain me dry?"
Golden daytime tail swing.
Ling Yi looked at Ji Yanzhi and said, "You should get some rest." Then she took the basin of water and left.
Ling Yixuan's room was next to Ji Yanzhi's. After returning to her room, she placed the basin aside. As she put the basin down, she glanced at Jin Zhou, who was swimming around in it happily.
Jin Zhou had inhaled the poison, and Ling Yi estimated that she was about to faint again, so he set up a barrier around the basin of water to prevent any accidents.
After doing all this, Ling Yi went to sleep.
In the middle of the night, screams rang out again, and everyone except Jin Zhou, who was still asleep, including Lin Xinze, woke up.
Ling opened her eyes but didn't move.
There was a noise outside, but Ling Yi raised his hand and created a soundproof barrier, ignoring it.
Ye Qingshuang came out of the house and walked towards the innermost room on the second floor.
"Qing Shuang." As she passed by a door, Bai Jiu opened the door and came out.
Ye Qingshuang looked at him and said, "I'll go check on you. You can go back to sleep."
"I can't sleep," Baijiu said. "I'll go with you to take a look."
Ye Qingshuang nodded and went over with the white wine.
Once outside, Ye Qingshuang knocked on the door again: "He's in so much pain. Why don't you let me take a look? Maybe I can help."
Inside the house, apart from screams, no one answered.
Ye Qingshuang said, "Instead of letting him suffer like this forever, why not take a gamble?"
"No need," the waiter's voice rang out again. "You don't need to bother with this. I'm sorry to disturb your rest. I'll bring you some food in the morning."
No matter what Ye Qingshuang said, the waiter refused to help, which was not right.
According to Xiao Er, his brother Arno is a brother. Under normal circumstances, what brother would watch his younger brother suffer and do nothing?
Ye Qingshuang said again, "If you're worried that I'll charge too much for his medical treatment, I promise you I won't charge you. Shouldn't that put your mind at ease?"
In Ye Qingshuang's opinion, the waiter treated them well even before they had confirmed their reservations, which didn't seem like someone who cared about money. However, Ye Qingshuang asked this question because 'free' was the key. If the waiter didn't even want it for free, then there must be an external reason.
Why won't you accept free medical care? Is it because you don't want to, or because you can't?
really……
Even after Ye Qingshuang asked, the waiter still refused: "No need, you..."
"boom"
Before the waiter could finish speaking, Ye Qingshuang kicked open the door.
"You..." The waiter looked at Ye Qingshuang and Baijiu as they walked in, then jumped up and stood in front of the window, frowning as he said, "How could you do this?"
"It's too noisy." Ye Qingshuang stepped forward, pushed the waiter aside, and looked at the person on the bed.
Xiao Er's cultivation level was not high, and he was powerless to resist when Ye Qingshuang pushed him away. He could only watch helplessly as Ye Qingshuang lifted Arno's bedding.
The blankets were pulled back, exposing Arno, who had been hiding under them, to Ye Qingshuang and Baijiu.
Arno was thin and frail, and his limbs were bound with iron chains and fixed to the four corners of the bed to prevent him from leaving the bed.
But none of these are the key points; the key point is the black lines on Arnold's body.
Arno had no clothes covering him, so the black lines were clearly visible. The black lines were moving and darting around, and it was because of those black lines that Arno screamed.
“This is…” Bai Jiu frowned as he looked at the black lines inside Arno’s body: “Alive?”
“Child Demon Worms.” Ye Qing Shuang frowned as she looked at the black lines inside Arno’s body. “Child Demon Worms are divided into offspring and mother worms. They are creatures of the Demon Race and are usually used by the Demon Race to absorb and transfer power. How could they appear in Qizhou?”
Even after Ye Qingshuang explained what the black lines were, the waiter still advised, "Miss, we don't need your help, you should leave now."
"Why?" Baijiu looked at Xiao Er: "Isn't he your brother?"
"Qing Shuang recognizes that black line and can solve the problem. Don't you want to save your brother?"
The waiter gave a wry smile: "He's my brother, how could I not want to..."
"Then why didn't you let Qing Shuang save you?" Bai Jiu asked, puzzled.
Ye Qingshuang loosened the blankets, which fell to cover Arno, who was curled up in a ball. She looked at the waiter and said, "Judging from your brother's condition, the worm has been inside him for some time. The fact that your brother can still hold on shows that he has good cultivation. But no matter how good he is, there will be a day when your brother can't hold on anymore."
"How much longer do you think your brother can hold on?"
The waiter lowered his head and remained silent.
Ye Qingshuang looked at him: "You don't even need it for free? Is someone forbidding it?"
The waiter kept his head down and remained silent.
Ye Qingshuang was a little annoyed by this. She couldn't stand people like this the most. They wouldn't answer her questions and it was really infuriating.
"I'll ask you one more time, do you want me to save him, or do you want to watch him die?" Ye Qingshuang looked at the waiter: "You choose. If you choose this time, I promise I won't meddle again."
If he hadn't been so kind to her when she first arrived, she would never have come to ask so many times.
The waiter remained silent.
Ye Qingshuang couldn't wait any longer and turned to walk out: "Baijiu, let's go."
Baijiu followed them away. As the two were about to reach the door, Xiao Er finally spoke: "If I let you save people, you will die."
Ye Qingshuang stopped and turned to look at him: "Since you've brought it up, you still want me to save him, so stop being coy and tell me what happened?"
Bai Jiu closed the door and went back with Ye Qingshuang.
The waiter said, "The substance inside Arno was given to him by a teacher from the Imperial Academy. As for why Arno was chosen, it's because he has great talent and high cultivation, but no background."
"Arno didn't know at first, he only found out during his first attack. He went to his teacher, but the teacher told him to behave and not to make a fuss, otherwise he wouldn't survive."
"For my sake, Arno had to endure it until he was almost useless. Only then did the teacher send someone to bring him back, saying that since they were teacher and student, letting him die beside his family would fulfill his wish."
“I didn’t want Arno to die, so I asked a doctor to examine him. The doctor couldn’t figure out what was inside Arno’s body and couldn’t help him at all. But even so, the doctor died.”
