Bigshot's Sweetie Is a Cat!-Chapter 1077: Poisoned by Gu
"Little Princess?!"
"Medicine King?!" A few elders exclaimed in joy upon seeing the newcomers.
The ones who burst in suddenly were none other than the returning Wen Xiao’ai and Feng Liyan.
"Little Princess, Medicine King, you’ve finally returned."
"Elder Ye, Elder Wu, Elder Qiu, Elder Tian, Elder Mu..." Seeing everyone present, Wen Xiao’ai’s heart finally settled somewhat.
On the way here, seeing the devastated homeland and the dead and wounded tribesmen, Wen Xiao’ai felt both fear and hatred.
If not for her concern for her clan leader grandmother and Ye Qi and the others, upon seeing the tribe so completely destroyed, she would have turned back to the Demon Realm...
"Is everyone okay?" Feng Liyan felt a sense of relief seeing everyone safe.
"Medicine King, you’ve returned just in time. Please quickly check on Ye Qi." Elder Ye said, hurriedly making way.
The other elders blocking the bed, reminded by this, now remembered that Ye Qi was still suffering from the Blood Poisonous Insect.
So they all moved aside.
"What’s wrong with him?" Feng Liyan saw the unconscious, spell-bound, pained-faced Ye Qi, wrinkled his brow, and rushed forward to check.
He jumped in shock upon a closer look.
Visible under Ye Qi’s exposed skin, blood-colored insects crawled, seemingly ready to break through the thin layer of skin at any moment.
"What happened to Brother Ye Qi?" Wen Xiao’ai quickly stepped forward to check and was startled by Ye Qi’s condition.
"Has he been hexed?" With just one glance, Feng Liyan could tell Ye Qi was hexed.
"Yes, and it’s the Blood Poisonous Insect." Elder Ye nodded slightly, feeling much more assured now than before.
Because Feng Liyan had returned.
"What?!"
Upon hearing the words "Blood Poisonous Insect," Feng Liyan instinctively widened his eyes; after the shock, his heart was filled with alarm and fear.
Shocked at the sudden emergence of the Blood Poisonous Insect, alarmed that it was inside Ye Qi, afraid of its master...
Was it Nie Jiuque who planted it inside Ye Qi?
Why would he do this? Could it be because Ye Qi has feelings for the Little Princess?
No, Nie Jiuque has always been too afraid to show himself, only daring to act in secret; it’s impossible for him to reveal himself using the Blood Poisonous Insect.
But besides Nie Jiuque, who else could plant the Blood Poisonous Insect?
"What is the Blood Poisonous Insect?"
Seeing Feng Liyan turn pale upon hearing those words, Wen Xiao’ai panicked immediately.
She knew about "Insects," but not the "Blood Poisonous Insect."
She already knew very little about matters of the Demon Realm.
The Blood Poisonous Insect being related to Nie Jiuque, it was naturally impossible for them to let Wen Xiao’ai know.
"The Blood Poisonous Insect originates from the Demon Realm..." An elder was about to explain its origins to Wen Xiao’ai, but was promptly interrupted by Elder Ye.
"Never mind what this thing is, Medicine King, just think quickly of whether there’s a way to dispel it."
Feng Liyan naturally understood why Elder Ye interrupted the other elder; he looked at Wen Xiao’ai with a complicated expression.
But he didn’t say much, and began to use his spiritual power to gather the agitated Blood Poisonous Insects inside Ye Qi into one place...
Seeing the color slowly return to Ye Qi’s face, everyone present gradually relaxed.
"Little Princess, where have you been all these months? You had us searching everywhere for you." An elder found the time to ask Wen Xiao’ai.
"Yes, Little Princess, where have you been? You’ve been gone so long. Do you know how worried everyone has been?"
