Chapter 1208 - 268: The Worrisome Little Beasts
As soon as the Snow Grass burned, those Bloodthirsty Snake Bees quickly retreated.
On the ground, a large number of Jiu Provinces Alliance guards were lying there, looking miserable beyond words, covered all over with bun-sized blood bags, groaning continuously.
By the time Bo Qing and the others arrived, aside from a face that could be seen by others, Tan Su was covered in various poisonous lumps.
As for Lord Mu, when someone fished him out, he was covered in filth and had fainted from the stench.
Seeing this, Huangquan City Lord shook his head, although he had some suspicions in his heart when looking at the unharmed Ye Lingyue.
"There are too many injured, and they are from Jiu Provinces Alliance. I think we should stay here overnight to treat the wounded. Otherwise, if Jiu Provinces Alliance pursues this, it will be hard to explain."
After some effort, they finally managed to wake Lord Mu up.
Once awake, Lord Mu looked pale, and upon seeing his subordinates’ condition, he rolled his eyes and fainted again.
The group had no choice but to follow Huangquan City Lord’s idea, temporarily housing the wounded in different rooms.
Ye Lingyue, on the other hand, took Huang Jun and Qin Xiaochuan, to gather Snow Grass around.
"With so many people, the quantity of Snow Grass is only enough for about three days. Once the Snow Grass is used up, those Bloodthirsty Snake Bees will swarm back, and we can only stay here for three days at most." Ye Lingyue’s expression was grave.
In fact, she deliberately set this three-day limit to make the group from Jiu Provinces Alliance retreat in face of difficulties.
If these people do not know when to quit, she won’t hesitate to deal a lethal blow.
She secretly kept a small portion of Snow Grass, and once transplanted into Hong Meng Heaven, in these three days, there would be enough Snow Grass grown.
"Ye Lingyue, what are you scheming? You clearly discovered early on that Snow Grass can repel bees, yet you let me get stung into this state?"
Tan Su was covered all over with foul-smelling Medicinal Grass.
"Tan Su, that’s enough, Ling Yue is not that kind of person."
Bo Qing stopped Tan Su.
"Boss, you’re defending her, she clearly framed me out of jealousy."
Tan Su became more furious upon hearing Bo Qing defend Ye Lingyue.
She was certain that Ye Lingyue must be jealous of her looks, which is why she made every effort to trap her in the Poisonous Bee swarm.
"She doesn’t need to be jealous of you; you are not comparable to her at all. In my heart, even if she does nothing, she’s a thousand times better than you."
Bo Qing said coldly.
As for Tan Su, he had endured her multiple times, but ever since she confessed her love, her actions became more outrageous, especially her constant targeting of Ye Lingyue along the way.
Bo Qing decided he could not give her any chance to fantasize.
Bo Qing’s ruthlessness left Tan Su ashen-faced, with no trace of light in her eyes.
She finally understood, as long as Ye Lingyue was around, Bo Qing would never pay attention to her, no matter how much she did for him, it would be futile.
The atmosphere inside the room suddenly became eerie.
Ye Lingyue coughed a few times.
"It’s almost night; I’ll go find some food. You guys patrol the area nearby to prevent attacks from other demon beasts."
With that, Ye Lingyue walked out. As soon as she left the room, she immediately entered Hong Meng Heaven.
While transplanting those Snow Grass, she also wanted to check on the situation of Little Zhiyo.
In Hong Meng Heaven, Little Zhiyo had already woken up for the second time.
Upon seeing his master, Zhiyo cried sadly. Little Wuya, helpless, knew that the truth of his greed causing trouble could no longer be hidden, and tearfully explained everything about the Senluo Ghost Fruit and Emperor Gui Tie’s dream.
"Boss, I can’t eat anything, everything I eat I vomit back up, even drinking water makes me so nauseous my eyes turn white. Am I going to die young?"
Little Zhiyo lamented.
Ye Lingyue was baffled, feeling overwhelmed.
She could only use Cauldron Breath to examine Little Zhiyo inside and out again, but found no abnormalities, except that Little Zhiyo’s meridians had expanded by ten times, and inside his body, there was an extra translucent Primordial Elixir.
Upon closer examination, it looked exactly like the Senluo Ghost Fruit Little Zhiyo mentioned he had eaten.
This discovery greatly shocked Ye Lingyue.
Whether demon beasts or Spiritual Beasts, they differ from human Martial Artists; their talent is measured most directly by the size of their Demon Core and meridians, alongside their lineage.
Little Zhiyo was quite weak before; even Little Evil Rabbit and Little Wuya, if not for possessing Berserk talent, he might have been weaker than the Ye Family’s dog, Dahuang, let alone having a Demon Core.
But now his body had undergone a vast transformation.
"Boss, am I beyond help? How much longer can I live? I haven’t even married Little Wuya, it’s so regrettable."
Little Zhiyo wailed.
Nearby, Little Wuya became so angry she gnashed her teeth, wanting to pluck all of Little Zhiyo’s fur.
"Little Zhiyo, don’t panic, you might have turned misfortune into fortune. First, recall carefully where you discovered the Senluo Ghost Fruit, and I’ll take you to see. Perhaps there will be other clues."
Ye Lingyue, while being amused by Little Zhiyo’s antics, also worried whether the transformation of his physique was a blessing or a curse.
So Ye Lingyue took Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya to the outskirts of Qiulin Ruins.
It was already around dusk, with golden rays spreading across the ground.
"This is the place, I remember clearly, eh, why have these trees withered?"
Little Zhiyo pointed at the barren shrubs ahead, shocked.
The trees that had been lush last night seemed to have been scorched by Heavenly Fire overnight, now lifeless, with not a fruit in sight, not even a single leaf.
As a result, even if Ye Lingyue wanted to transplant them and cultivate Senluo Ghost Fruit for research, there was no chance.
Ye Lingyue’s eyes dimmed; apparently Emperor Gui Tao’s saying that the Senluo Ghost Fruit blooms once a millennium, bears fruit once a millennium, and waits a millennium for its original owner was true.
"It’s over, I’m truly doomed."
Little Zhiyo was utterly distraught.
"This Qiulin Ruins is very peculiar, with Bloodthirsty Snake Bees and the Senluo Ghost Fruit. The whole place is odd. Little Zhiyo, don’t worry, Emperor Gui Tao is likely from the demon beast clan. Once I reunite with Di Shen and head to the Demon World to rescue Brother Yan Jiu, perhaps we can uncover the history of Emperor Gui Tie."
However, Ye Lingyue was concerned; Little Zhiyo now couldn’t eat or drink, whether he could make it to the Demon World was still unknown.
