âHah! I didnât even know that I could suppress the parasite with the Heart Cleansing Pill and the Thousand thread vine. It was just what my benefactor instructed me to do four years ago. Speaking of which...â
Complex emotions flickered in his eyes. âYou look quite similar to my benefactor...â
âHuh?â The words surprised Lou Qianxue. âIs that why you asked me if I have siblings?â
âYeah!â
Lou Qianxueâs heart skipped a beat. âIndeed, thereâs someone who looks like me... No, I look like her. Sheâs my mother!â
âHuh?â Zhen Guogong widened his eyes in shock. âAre you saying that your mother saved me?â
Suppressing her excitement, Lou Qianxue shook her head. âIâm not sure. However, was there anything special about your benefactor?â
âAnything special? Oh, right! My benefactor was a really strange person. Although she was a woman without any cultivation, she was extremely powerfulâalmost unparalleled. She was so courageous that she could wipe out an entire army on her own.â
â... Mom! Itâs her!â Lou Qianxue abruptly stood up. âItâs really her! Two years ago, I learned that my mother stopped in Baiyan City because of the Hawk Rider... After two years, I finally heard a new update about her!â
Lou Qianxue excitedly asked, âWhat happened afterward? What happened after she saved you?â
âShe left.â Zhen Guogong sighed. âI initially wanted to repay her favor. However, although she was without cultivation, she was mysterious and extremely fast. No one knows where she went. After the war, I couldnât find her.â
âWhere did she go?â
âThe border beside Nandu Nation.â
âNandu Nation...â Lou Qianxue narrowed her eyes. âGot it.â
Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down. âMaster Guogong, Iâll lure the parasite out for you now.â
Whoosh!
She took out the pill cauldron. Then, she placed the herbs she had brought out earlier into the cauldron and started to refine them.
Her rapid speed astounded everyone.
âYou... Youâre going to start now?â
âYeah, itâs going to be quick. However, it might be a little painful later. Please endure it, Master Guogong.â
An increasingly stronger fragrance wafted out from her cauldron.
Lou Qianxue looked at An Shaoning. âDidnât you ask about the smell of the herb just now? I call it the Ganzhi herb. Itâs the favorite herb of all parasites. A parasite can never escape the lure of the Ganzhi Herb. Once it smells the herb, it will definitely move.â
âI see. No wonder you were able to trigger Master Guogongâs illness.â An Shaoning suddenly had a realization.
âYeah. However, the Thousand thread vine can suppress the parasite. Hence, the parasite might not come out. Shaoning, bring the Thousand thread vine to me.â
An Shaoning placed the Thousand thread vine in front of Lou Qianxue, who kept it into the Mountain River Space.
When the smell of the Thousand thread vine dissipated, the fragrance of the Ganzhi Herb intensified. Suddenly, a small bulge started to appear on Zhen Guogongâs forehead. It started to quickly move under his skin.
âAh!â Zhen Guogong wailed in agony. He subconsciously tried to touch it!
âRestrain him!â
âAn Shaoning, Second Young Master, take one side each and restrain Master Guogong. Make a shallow cut on his fingers so that he wonât move.â
âAlright.â
Both of them rushed forward and followed her instructions.
Then, everyone heard the sound of something crawling about...
The bug under Zhen Guogongâs skin rapidly crawled from his head to his face, neck, shoulders, arms, and finally...
Drip!
A black bug followed the blood dripping from Zhen Guogongâs fingertips and dropped onto the ground...
However...
At the next moment!
Whoosh!
The black bugâs wings fluttered as it quickly flew toward Lou Qianxue.
Lou Qianxueâs gaze turned solemn.
Whoosh!
An orb of yellow abnormal fire emerged all of a sudden. Even the air around her became distorted by the scorching heat.
âAbnormal fire?â Everyone exclaimed in shock.
âItâs actually an abnormal fire!â
