Chapter 288: Chapter 288 Shouldn’t Be_1
A pale little face, covered in blood blisters, with a pair of dull eyes, completely lifeless.
It was clear to Ye Fei at a glance that this was a case of blood gu, a type of gu spell known as sore gu.
Those afflicted by this sorcery would feel weak all over, covered in poisonous sores.
It could also make one’s temperament become reclusive and irritable.
The little girl was obviously in a very serious condition.
If the gu was not neutralized soon, she would turn into a pool of blood within ten days.
Ye Fei’s heart suddenly tightened.
This Diku Venerable was truly malicious.
To lay such a heavy hand on a child.
Eh? Wait a minute!
This child, seems familiar.
That’s right!
Ye Fei suddenly recognized her; wasn’t she the missing girl named Zhang Xiaoqiao from the missing persons notice!
He was shocked inside, but his face did not show it.
He had to latch onto this clue and thoroughly investigate the matter of the child’s disappearance.
So, he also put on an act.
"Little friend, don’t be afraid, uncle is here to help you," he said.
The little girl numbly nodded her head.
In order to build a relationship with the little girl, Ye Fei started chatting with her.
"What’s your name, little friend?" he asked.
"Qiaoqiao."
"Qiaoqiao is the bravest and best-behaved, right?"
"Mhm."
"Now Qiaoqiao is sick, would you like uncle to treat you? Once you’re healed, you’ll be even prettier, and you won’t feel bad anymore."
"Mhm."
Under the influence of the gu spell.
The girl’s condition was poor, and her reactions were very sluggish.
But luckily, she was still cooperative.
So, Ye Fei had her lie down on the bed, pulled out silver needles, and began treatment.
As the silver needles pierced one acupoint after another, the little girl showed no reaction, as lifeless as a piece of wood.
After a moment, all the needles were in place.
Ye Fei held his breath and focused, grasping the girl’s hands and pouring a continuous flow of True Qi into her body.
As the True Qi flowed in, the blood blisters on the girl’s face and body gradually began to shrink.
Ten minutes passed, and the girl’s chest heaved dramatically as she suddenly sat up.
Ye Fei hurriedly grabbed a trash can.
Vomit!
A bout of vomiting.
A mixture of blood and liquid, she vomited half a bucket’s worth.
The blood gu had finally been cleansed.
Ye Fei took a tissue and wiped away the filth from the girl’s mouth.
"Feeling a bit better?" he asked.
"Mhm."
"Then lie down on the bed and rest for a while. Uncle will continue to treat you in the coming days, until you’re completely recovered."
"Thank you, uncle."
Ye Fei gently smiled and coaxed the girl to lie down and rest.
But just then, her eyes suddenly turned a blood red.
Suddenly sitting up, she bit down hard on Ye Fei’s arm.
Ah!
Ye Fei quickly struggled free.
When he saw the girl’s fierce red eyes, he immediately realized what was happening.
Soul-snatching gu!
Qiaoqiao had been afflicted by a double gu!
Ye Fei gathered energy at his fingertips and a pressure point on Qiaoqiao’s forehead caused her to pass out immediately.
"Hahaha! Ye Fei, how does it feel?"
A smug, taunting laughter emanated from Wang Xingde at the door.
Behind him stood two attendants, one old and one young, both wearing similarly smug expressions.
Feigning ignorance, Ye Fei asked, "What feels how?"
Puffing up his chest, Wang Xingde said, "Quit your damn act, being called the Divine Doctor, surely you’re aware by now that you’ve been poisoned by the gu, right?"
Ye Fei was indifferent: "So what if I am? Just as I can neutralize the gu in Qiaoqiao, I can do the same for myself."
"Quit your bullshit!" Wang Xingde smugly inquired, "Tell me, are you feeling dizzy and weak, as if there’s a raging fire burning inside your Dantian?"
Seeing that Ye Fei said nothing, Wang Xingde continued tauntingly, "Let me tell you the truth, when that little brat bit you, she injected you with the Diku Venerable’s specially concocted Huaxin Gu poison."
"Without the antidote, you won’t last three hours!"
Ye Fei was utterly unconcerned with the poison, instead jibing, "Little brat? Quite a unique way to refer to your daughter."
Wang Xingde laughed heartily: "You fool, you’ve really fallen for it! You must be the dumbest Divine Doctor ever, with that low IQ of yours. Rubbish!"
"Mr. Ye, before you die, I’m not scared to tell you. This little brat is just a tool I kidnapped, not my daughter at all!"
Ye Fei continued, "A tool? Then you’re saying, there’s more than just this one child you’ve kidnapped?"
"Of course!"
Wang Xingde even seemed proud.
"Not counting her, there’s at least a dozen more!"
Hearing this number, Ye Fei was so enraged he itched to take action.
"You beast, not even sparing children!"
With a contemptible laugh, Wang Xingde replied, "I am a beast, I did attack a child, and what can you do about it? Come hit me, you’re supposed to be so strong. Come on!"
"What’s wrong, feeling powerless? Can’t stand up? Haha! Stop it already, stop trying to force your energy. The Huaxin Gu developed by the Venerable after painstaking research is not something a piece of trash like you can resolve!"
Ye Fei scoffed with disdain, "Really? It’s that powerful?"
Turning up his nose, Wang Xingde boasted, "Of course! Not just you, but no one in the world can... can..."
Wang Xingde was only halfway through his statement when he was stunned by the sight before him.
Ye Fei stood up slowly, smiling faintly, and in one step was in front of him.
The old and young attendants drew their weapons at the alarming situation, ready to attack.
But Ye Fei gave them no chance.
Crack! Crack!
He effortlessly twisted the necks of both, as if playing with toys.
At this moment, Wang Xingde was beside himself with terror.
With a cry in his voice, "What is going on? Why didn’t the Huaxin Gu work! This, this can’t be!"
