Ye Fan followed the woman to her residence.
It was a very shabby house on the second floor; although it had three compartments, the floor had lost its color.
However, the woman was very clean and good at tidying up. Despite the small room, she had organized it very warmly. Several paintings were even drawn on the walls, clearly the handiwork of a little girl!
They depicted two adults holding the hand of a little girl.
“Let’s start! Just put the child on the sofa,” Ye Fan instructed the woman to lay the girl flat on the sofa and continued, “Go prepare a needle and sterilize it by heating it in the fire!”
As his voice fell, Ye Fan began to move, swinging his arms rapidly, inserting Silver Needles into the girl’s blood vessels all over her body. The Qi Force drove and forced all the roaming Gu Worms back into their nests of growth.
These nests of the Poison Gu were located in the little girl’s scalp of the brain!
That’s right!
It was the little girl’s scalp of the brain!
Some Poison Gu, under the influence of Ye Fan’s Qi Force, were reluctant to move and wanted to remain in the little girl’s heart, chest, and other areas.
But Ye Fan had the Myriad Gu Cauldron on him; with just a slight command, all the Poison Gu obediently gathered in the scalp of the little girl.
Ye Fan used Silver Needles to seal off all the escape routes, then sent a surge of Qi Force!
Hissss!
A crisp, tingling sound that made one’s scalp tingle echoed throughout the room.
When the woman had finished sterilizing the needle in the kitchen and had just stepped out, she witnessed such a horrifying scene.
Ye Fan actually tore off his own daughter’s scalp?
What was he doing?
“Ah!” The woman screamed in fright, covered her mouth, and rushed over, “What… What are you doing?”
This young man came to cure his daughter’s illness, didn’t he? Why did he tear open his own daughter’s scalp—wasn’t this an intentional torment?
The woman rushed over and took a closer look at her daughter’s scalp, and was immediately stunned.
After the girl’s scalp was torn open, it should have revealed normal flesh and nerves.
But at that time, the girl’s scalp was covered with a large patch of densely packed insects, all translucent red, wriggling non-stop, looking like bee pupae… it sent chills down one’s spine!
“This…” The woman swallowed back the words that had reached her lips.
Her eyes were filled with shock!
How could her daughter have so many insects on her head?
Could it be because she hadn’t washed her daughter’s hair often enough?
Ye Fan pulled out one of the Silver Needles, without any hesitation, and rapidly targeted those Poison Gu on the scalp.
In less than ten seconds, Ye Fan had impaled all the Poison Gu on the Silver Needle, looking like a mini version of candied hawthorn sticks.
“Give me the needle!” Ye Fan inserted the Silver Needle into the wall beside him and reached out his hand to the woman.
The woman quickly handed the needle to Ye Fan, who glanced at the woman, looked at the girl, and finally leaned his head close to the woman.
Sensing the man’s closeness, the woman felt both nervous and apprehensive.
What… was he going to do?
Was he going to kiss her?
Why would he want to kiss her at a time like this?
Should she let him kiss her?
The woman’s heart fluttered with various feelings, but in the end, she overcame her shyness and closed her eyes.
“`
Oh my!
The man just saved your daughter from such a strange illness, the hospital probably wouldn’t have been able to help.
Considering the miraculous doctor healed your daughter for free, what can’t you do in return? Originally, the woman was prepared to offer herself.
But Ye Fan approached the daughter and reached for a strand of the woman’s hair on her head, plucking it out and threading it directly into the needle.
The girl’s scalp had been torn open, it had to be stitched up.
There were no other professional medical sutures available, using hair was the best alternative.
Feeling a strand of her hair being pulled out, the woman opened her eyes curiously and just happened to see Ye Fan using her hair to suture her daughter’s wound.
Your next journey awaits at empire
The woman’s face flushed with embarrassment, the red spreading to the back of her neck!
It turned out he was only looking for hair to use as a suture, while she had thought that…
“All done!” While the woman was still stunned, Ye Fan had already swiftly sutured the little girl’s wound. He wiped the surrounding traces of blood clean with a tissue, making it seem as if nothing had happened.
“I’ll prescribe some Chinese medicine for you to take later, a little conditioning for two or three days should do the trick!” Ye Fan packed away the Silver Needle from the wall, intending to go to the kitchen to burn the Poison Gu, “However, I suggest you move out, leave this place, and don’t let the child come into contact with strangers anymore!”
“Move out? But… I’ve already paid six months’ rent in advance, wouldn’t it be a waste if we left?” The woman said, somewhat reluctant, but she was smart.
Although Ye Fan didn’t say it explicitly, she guessed that someone was after her daughter.
And that someone was a person she couldn’t afford to offend, so the best solution was to leave!
“Think it over!” Ye Fan headed to the kitchen, turned on the gas, and burned the string of Poison Gu to ashes.
…
“Ah! Who the hell ruined Laotzu’s plan?”
Spurt!
As Ye Fan burned all the Poison Gu in his hand, over at the Flower Capital Eastern Suburbs, in a separate villa, a man in a black robe screamed, a mouthful of black blood spewing out as he hysterically roared.
Raising Gu in a corpse was indeed his doing!
This man in the black robe was another Gu Sect powerhouse known as the Five Poisons Child!
For the sake of finding a suitable host to cultivate his Poison Gu, he had quietly searched the country for ten years, finally finding a perfect body. Just when he was on the verge of success, his plan was sabotaged!
The Five Poisons Child wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing with a dark gleam, “Trouble! Initially, as long as I succeeded in cultivating this batch of Poison Gu, I would have been able to contend with Zhuang Bifan for the Gu Sect. But now… Damn it, if only I could find out who was responsible!”
“Someone, go and find out who ruined Laotzu’s good deed!”
…
Back in the woman’s rented apartment, after Ye Fan dealt with the Poison Gu, he returned to the living room.
“The little girl’s body is quite weak, she may need to sleep through the night, but come tomorrow she will be fine!” Ye Fan spoke indifferently, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.”
Ye Fan had come here primarily to investigate the clues left by a map provided by his elder brother before his death.
Saving the little girl was merely an interlude!
Ye Fan had no intention of lingering here for too long.
“Wait a moment…” Just as Ye Fan was about to leave, the woman hesitated and reached out to grab his sleeve, “Young man, I can’t repay your great kindness… Could you come in for a moment?”
The woman glanced at her daughter.
Since her ex-husband left, she had been raising her daughter alone; her daughter was her everything!
Ye Fan had saved her daughter, which was like saving her entire world; she definitely had to express her gratitude properly!
As the woman spoke, she tugged on Ye Fan’s sleeve, pulling him towards the bedroom…
