Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!
Chapter 776: Mr. Huo’s life is gradually devoured by the sunlight poison.

Chapter 776: Chapter 776: Mr. Huo’s life is gradually devoured by the sunlight poison.

Huo Junxin’s furrowed brow loosened slightly, his voice confident, "However many people you need like that, I can find for you at any time."

In this world, some are born as the source of sin.

Others come from honest backgrounds, but for various reasons, they wander in the darkness after reaching adulthood.

They commit every imaginable evil, and will inevitably one day be confined somewhere they can be punished accordingly.

The Huo Family could bring in several dying individuals, allowing them the opportunity to perform some good deeds before their imminent death.

Gongsun Yibo revealed a helpless but bitter smile on his face, shaking his head towards the members of the Huo Family, "It’s not that simple. To become the human-medicine aiding in the second master’s recovery, the proposed person must first possess unwavering loyalty to him.

The Deathly Sun-Eroding Gu is cunning and not easily deceived; the Shadow-Eroding Gu lodged inside the human-medicine will transmit the host’s strongest emotion to the Deathly Sun-Eroding Gu inside the second master’s body.

If the human-medicine harbors feelings of resentment towards the second master amidst pain, the Deathly Sun-Eroding Gu will sense the resistance from the Shadow-Eroding Gu, thus failing to achieve the seductive effect it intends, possibly even intensifying the suffering the second master endures from the poisonous insect."

Hearing this, the expressions of the Huo Family members changed.

According to Gongsun Yibo’s criteria, procuring a truly willing human-medicine would undoubtedly add a new level of difficulty.

Huo Qiang, Huo Zhi, Song Qing, and other hidden guards of the Huo Family, stood in the corners of the hall, becoming almost invisible.

Huo Qiang and Huo Zhi had known about the second master’s condition for a while, but they were not aware the treatment process could be so complex.

Meanwhile, Song Qing stood on the spot as if she had lost her soul. After learning about the second master’s predicament, she had not moved, appearing like a statue.

Until Huo Zhi made her move.

The look in her eyes kept shifting rapidly, yet her striking face remained expressionless, thereby betraying no discernable emotion.

Soon, she lifted her foot and began to stride towards the Huo Family members with a resolution reminiscent of someone facing death.

A heavy thump echoed through the noiseless hall.

Huo Zhi knelt on one knee, solemnly facing the Huo Family members, "I am willing to become the second master’s human-medicine."

Her gaze was firm, her face radiated selfless dedication.

All eyes invariably drifted towards her.

Huo Zhi was one of the heads of the Huo Family’s hidden guards; she was a woman, but her loyalty to the Huo Family was unwavering.

The most important aspect was that Huo Zhi was nearly exterminated by the Witch Clan, however, she was saved by Huo Yirong, for which he even faced the wrath of Old Master Huo.

With Huo Hongxing at his side, Old Master Huo scrutinized Huo Zhi with an inquisitive gaze.

After a pause, he asked Gongsun Yibo, "Will she do?"

"That will depend on whether the Shadow-Eroding Gu takes a liking to its host." Gongsun Yibo took his attention away from Huo Zhi, "Poisonous insects are also selective of their hosts. I will now send someone back home to fetch the Shadow-Eroding Gu, if we can find the human-medicine tonight, the second master can officially begin treatment tomorrow."

Old Master Huo nodded, and told Huo Yunjiao solemnly, "Jiaojiao, notify the Secret Guard Department. Have them bring all innocent women here, ask them who is willing to be Yirong’s human-medicine.

Once selected as the human-medicine, the Huo Family can guarantee them carefree lives filled with unending wealth and riches. If they belong to an Aristocratic Family, we’ll also ensure their family’s meteoric rise in status."

Huo Yunjiao’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, seemingly deep in thought.

However, after a few seconds, he nodded at the Old Master.

Huo Yunjiao fixed his gaze on Huo Qiang’s location, and ordered in a low voice, "Huo Qiang, you handle this."

"Yes, Third Master!"

Huo Qiang turned to leave, his steps hurried, devoid of his usual calmness.

Gongsun Yibo also dispatched a trusted aide towards the Gongsun Family to fetch the Shadow-Eroding Gu.

Standing next to Huo Yunjiao, Qin Ruan’s gaze inadvertently fell on Song Qing.

She stood motionless at her spot, seemingly oblivious to the events occurring here.

Upon seeing her dazed expression, Qin Ruan retracted her gaze, quietly telling the man next to her, "Third Master, I want to go upstairs and check on Brother Rong."

Hearing this, Gongsun Yibo was the first to respond, "Madam of the Third Young Master, I’m afraid this might not be possible. The Deathly Sun-Eroding Gu is incredibly cruel, it can also release toxins. The blood the second master is currently spitting out contains toxins."

This was also why members of the Huo Family were waiting downstairs.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ruan’s eyebrows raised slightly, her voice gentle, "The Family Head of the Gongsun Family should know my identity as a Heavenly Master. I may not be impervious to all poisons, but I do have some defensive abilities, I would like to try something regarding Brother Rong’s condition."

Gongsun Yibo hesitated, "This..."

"Let her go."

The Old Master Huo spoke.

Given Huo Yirong’s current situation, they thought of Ling Xuzi first, but he wasn’t in the Capital City.

As the Master of Spiritual Mountain Gate, Ling Xuzi had more than once mentioned before the Huo family, his admiration for Qin Ruan’s excellent abilities.

Now that Qin Ruan wanted to see the situation for herself, the old master had no reason to stop her.

Huo Yunjiao let go of Qin Ruan’s hand, her voice gentle, "Go, take care of yourself."

With this, Qin Ruan realized she was going up there on her own.

Being physically frail, the Huo family naturally wouldn’t allow him to go upstairs.

"Mmhmm—"

Qin Ruan nodded, her little finger gently hooking Huo Yirong’s palm.

On her slender finger, faint streaks of white light circled around.

The Nether Power transmitted into his body through their touch.

Everyone had a restless night. Qin Ruan hoped that this bit of Nether Power could help ease his body slightly.

After their fingertips separated, Gongsun Yibo personally escorted Qin Ruan upstairs.

The smell of blood was quite faint on the lower floors, but once they reached the upper ones, it was so strong that it could make one nauseous.

The creases on Qin Ruan’s forehead deepened.

She walked at a steady pace, following behind Gongsun Yibo.

Only when the door to Huo Yirong’s bedroom was pushed open did Qin Ruan see how terrible his condition was.

Apart from the strong smell of blood, the room’s bloody appearance was akin to a crime scene.

The few who had been tending to Huo Yirong at his bedside immediately stood up as Gongsun Yibo and Qin Ruan entered.

"Family Head!"

Gongsun Yibo responded, asking, "How is he?"

"The Second Young Master’s bleeding has reduced, but the poisonous insect has started to act, gnawing at his flesh and blood."

"Um, um..."

Huo Yirong lay sunken in his blood-soaked bed, his hands and feet all tied up.

His usual charming features had twisted in the resistance of pain, his eyes bulging as if he were an Evil Puppet straight out of Endless Hell.

Qin Ruan had never seen Huo Yirong in such a disheveled state before.

He was like a trapped wild beast, struggling in torment, every inch of his muscles crying out in indignation.

Qin Ruan walked over to the bed, a faint golden light appearing in her beautiful eyes.

She activated the Heavenly Eye, examining Huo Yirong from top to bottom.

His soul was stabilized, and he was temporarily not in any life-threatening danger.

However, there was a trace of defeat in his distorted, ferocious face.

If he continued to be tormented by the life-threatening Erosion by Yang Insect, his life would slowly be drained away.

Gongsun Yibo stepped forward, "Third Young Madam, have you found anything?"

Qin Ruan’s gaze strayed to Huo Yirong’s chest. Even through his clothes, she could see the small clump of black mist at his heart.

This must be the nesting place for the life-threatening Erosion by Yang Insect that had taken residence inside Huo Yirong.

She outstretched her hand, reaching towards Huo Yirong’s heart.
