Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Ghost Slave

Holding the silver needle in hand, he located the heart and took a deep breath, Ye Xuan began to restore Su Yumo’s heart vitality.

Activating the heart to restore life energy was much more difficult than before because the heart, as the blood-supplying part of the human body, is the organ with the most vigorous vitality.

Therefore, the amount of Yin Evil Energy required by the heart is more than that of all the other organs combined, making its recovery the most difficult!

Moreover, once there’s an issue with the heart, or it is injured by the Yin Evil Energy, the consequences would be very serious, rendering all previous efforts futile.

Therefore, Ye Xuan was extremely careful, taking a full ten minutes, and still was unable to bring the heart’s life energy to a full state. Based on the current absorption rate, it might take an additional ten minutes or more to complete.

Sweat beaded on Ye Xuan’s forehead; he wiped it carelessly with his hand and continued to mobilize his inner energy to treat Su Yumo.

Seeing Ye Xuan’s sweaty face, Su Yumo was slightly touched.

At this moment, Ye Xuan’s expression was serious and grave, his brows slightly furrowed, and his eyes filled with focus, free from any stray thoughts.

This was completely different from the image she had of him—the unlearned, rude in speech and deportment, and somewhat irresponsible Ye Xuan. They seemed like two different people.

"What kind of person is he really?"

In Su Yumo’s sparkling eyes, the previous Ye Xuan, in her view, had always been lacking in ambition, plagued with faults and seemingly devoid of good qualities.

But now, the man she saw in front of her didn’t seem as bad as she thought. He actually had shining points; one only had to observe closely to discover his fascinating side.

Which one was the real him?

Su Yumo herself was somewhat unclear.

While she pondered distractedly, another ten minutes passed.

"Done!"

At that time, Ye Xuan finally exhaled a long breath, put away the silver needle, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and then stood up.

He moved around to loosen up, twisting his waist and neck to ease the muscle soreness and then said to Su Yumo:

"Alright, today’s treatment is finished, you can get up now."

Upon hearing this, Su Yumo whispered to Ye Xuan, "You... turn around."

Ye Xuan gave a slight smile, "What, you trust me to stay here? Maybe you’d feel more at ease if I stepped outside."

"No need, you can stay right there. I trust you won’t," said Su Yumo softly.

Ye Xuan was taken aback, giving her a surprised look, but said nothing and turned around, his back to Su Yumo.

Quickly getting herself ready, she parted her hair from her forehead and then softly and gently said to Ye Xuan, "Alright, you can turn back now."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan turned back and then scanned her with his eyes.

"Today... thank you."

Su Yumo looked at Ye Xuan and said earnestly.

"Hehe, thank me? Haven’t you always been dissatisfied with me? So, shouldn’t you be lifting your foot to kick me today?"

Ye Xuan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Su Yumo charmingly gave Ye Xuan a reproachful look and countered, "This time it’s different; I asked you to treat me, so... I won’t blame you."

After saying that, she quickly added:

"But if you act like before, I still won’t let you off!"

Hmm, that sounded somewhat like the icy Yama Flower.

Ye Xuan looked her up and down, smiled slightly, and said, "Hehe, then I can rest assured. I was afraid you couldn’t accept it. This way, I can be more at ease during the next few days of treatment without fearing any misunderstandings from you!"

"Ah?"

Su Yumo looked bewildered.

She suddenly remembered that there were several more days of treatment ahead.

...

Meanwhile, in the continuous deep mountains near East Sea City, within a gloomy cave.

An old man with a hunched figure and white hair spat out a mouthful of fresh blood: "Damn it, someone dared to destroy my Yin Evil Energy!"

Holding onto his cane, he quickly went to the altar with five white orbs, his eyes as cold as a poisonous snake, focusing on the middle orb whose light was extremely weak.

The white-haired old man was shrouded in a sinister black robe.

The cave’s light was dim, surrounded by a damp and decaying smell.

On the ground beside lay dead mice, centipedes, and the carcasses of various poisonous creatures, which made it look ghastly and terrifying!

"What exactly happened? What kind of accident occurred with the first host body?"

The old man’s face was dark and scary, his left hand gripping the cane was shaking violently, showing his inner turmoil.

"No good! I must find out the status of the first host. I mustn’t let anything happen to my ’Human Poisonous Insect’ before it matures!"

Thinking this, the white-haired old man called out to the side: "Ghost Slave, you go personally to see what happened to the first host body. If the host is dead, feed her body to the Ice Cicada Heart Devouring Gu, then bring the Poisonous Insect back!"

"Yes, Master!"

A small one-meter-tall boy emerged from the shadows of the cave and knelt in front of the white-haired old man.

The child was incredibly ugly, bare-chested, with his body covered in strange totems.

Whoosh!

The next moment, the child’s figure flashed and he ran outside, disappearing from sight.
