Chapter 777: Chapter 777: The Underworld King Appears to Stop Ruanruan, Third Master Coughs Up Blood Again

"Slap!"

Qin Ruan’s hand hadn’t touched Huo Yirong’s clothes when it was brushed aside by someone.

Upon witnessing her movement, Gongsun Yibo’s expression changed dramatically, and he swatted her hand away.

His tone was helpless, thinly veiled with a touch of anger, "Are you mad? If you provoke the Deadly Sun Devouring Gu, the one who’ll suffer in the end is the Second Master."

Qin Ruan looked up at Gongsun Yibo, her face calm, her eyes deep and cold like clear water, "I know the Deadly Sun Devouring Gu is there."

Gongsun Yibo’s face turned serious, his gaze on Qin Ruan heavy with implication, "How do you know?"

"I can see it." Qin Ruan’s hand pointed at the space above Huo Yirong’s chest, "Under the left ventricle, the Gu worm is still burrowing into brother Yirong’s heart chamber. It’s moving slowly, and it’s very small, about the size of a thumbnail."

"You can see it?!"

Gongsun Yibo twitched his lips, his face bearing a very odd expression.

His reaction was a mix of shock and disbelief, his gaze on Qin Ruan flashing with astonishing brilliance.

The Gongsun Family had been dealing with Gu worms for centuries. Even the most gifted Gu Master in their family couldn’t tell where a Gu worm had parasitized just by looking.

They had to rely on blood and various reactions of the victim, plus a very tedious process to confirm what type of Gu it was and where it was located in the host’s body.

Yet, Qin Ruan, during the few minutes since she entered the room, was able to succinctly describe all the issues they took over an hour to figure out.

Gongsun Yibo found this hard to accept.

This was... too mind-boggling!

He even wondered, could Qin Ruan also be a Gu Master?

Qin Ruan did not wish to answer his question. Being a Heavenly Eye, she could naturally see what ordinary people cannot.

She couldn’t see the Gu worm, but she knew it was an Evil Qi entity. Such things could not escape her vision.

She lowered her gaze to look at Huo Yirong, who was staring blankly into space, his muscles unable to stop trembling. Qin Ruan’s eyes were filled with concern.

Could this Gu worm be eliminated with Nether Power?

Or could Hellfire purify this tiny Gu worm?

Qin Ruan estimated in her heart that it should be possible.

Her hand hanging by her side began to accumulate Nether Power.

She thought to herself, I can try.

Maybe it will work.

For a living human being to be infested with a Gu worm, becoming a medicinal human requires enduring agonizing torture. This idea alone was a daunting prospect.

If she could kill the Gu worm in Huo Yirong’s body, it might also save others from suffering the same fate.

Qin Ruan raised her hand, but this time she did not touch Huo Yirong directly. The wisps of Nether Power in her palm were transmitted across space to Huo Yirong’s chest.

Upon seeing her raise her hand and aim it at Huo Yirong’s chest, Gongsun Yibo asked in confusion, "What are you going to do now?"

Qin Ruan’s eyes flashed with a dark light, and she said in a light tone, "I’m performing a ritual."

It was meant as a joke, but Gongsun Yibo took it seriously.

He asked in an excited tone, "Do you have a way to extract the Deadly Sun Devouring Gu?"

The Deadly Sun Devouring Gu is a Gu worm from the Fuluo Country. The Gongsun Family had been studying it for years. They managed to create the Yin Devouring Gu, but they couldn’t find this Deadly Sun Devouring Gu.

Now that the Fuluo Country had presented one to them, the Gongsun Family was eager to seize it.

Having such valuable worm at their disposal would herald a major breakthrough for them.

Qin Ruan had just responded to Gongsun Yibo when her expression subtly changed.

She stared intently at the figure drenched in a dense black fog across the bed... it wasn’t a man, but the Underworld King.

His sudden appearance, just like a ghostly shadow, took her by surprise.

She wouldn’t say she was frightened, but her throat tightened and her heart skipped a beat.

The Underworld King’s features were shrouded in black mist, making it impossible to see his true face.

In both her past and present life, Qin Ruan had no idea what he looked like.

However, the powerful oppressive aura surrounding the Underworld King, was a force she was all too familiar with.

Their eyes met through the black mist, the Underworld King’s stormy fog roiling around him, seeming on the brink of an outburst.

Qin Ruan’s eyes were frosty as the moon. Out of consideration for the presence of Gongsun Yibo and the others, she refrained from speaking out.

The Underworld King said, "Qin Ruan, cease what you’re doing."

Qin Ruan had her nether power at the tip of her fingers already, touching Huo Yirong’s chest.

With just a bit more force, she could touch the fatal sun dissolving insect within his body.

She looked puzzled, a chill flickering in her melodic voice, "Why?"

Was she not capable of saving Huo Yirong, or was there another reason? The Underworld King, that notorious skinflint, would certainly not appear on his own without some benefit.

Qin Ruan was curious as to why the Underworld King had stopped her.

Surrounded by a thick black Evil Qi, the Underworld King said with a weary voice, "Third Master is vomiting blood."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ruan quickly withdrew her hand.

For some reason, she had a feeling that the sudden appearance of the Underworld King, and the Third Master vomiting blood was connected to her.

Gongsun Yibo thought that Qin Ruan was talking to him, "Mrs. Third, what did you say?"

Qin Ruan looked over her shoulder at him, fear clear in her eyes.

Without a glance at Huo Yirong, who was lying on the bed, letting out pained moans, she quickly turned and rushed out of the room.

The Third Master had suddenly fallen ill recently.

He claimed it was due to the cold.

Now that the Underworld King had appeared, something flashed in Qin Ruan’s mind, too quickly for her to grasp.

She quickly disappeared from the room.

Downstairs.

Not long after Qin Ruan went upstairs, Huo Yunjiao returned to the side hall, discussing with Nicholas their retaliation plans for Fuluo Country.

If Huo Yirong had not been attacked by the Royal Family of Fuluo, the Bolin Family and the Huo Family would only want their oil resources.

Since the Royal Family of Fuluo dared to act against the Huo family, their previous plans must be revised.

Huo Yunjiao not only wanted the oil resources of Fuluo, but also the control of the Royal Family of Fuluo, in order to control its lifeline.

After Qin Ruan saved Leslie, Nicholas would cooperate with the Huo Family completely on this matter.

Of course, the benefits they could get were beyond imagination.

It was a highly profitable deal for the Bolin Family.

While they were discussing, Huo Yunjiao suddenly furrowed his eyebrows and his face turned pale. The color of his lips changed rapidly.

Nicholas sensed something wrong, "What’s wrong?"

"Puff!"

Huo Yunjiao spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.

Nicholas, who was sitting across from him, could not dodge in time and was splashed with blood.

"Third Master!"

The hidden guards cried out in shock.

Lord Huo and others rushed in upon hearing the sound.

"Jiaojiao!"

"Third Brother!"

"Call for a doctor, quick!"

Huo Yunjiao was soon surrounded by numerous people.

Amid the chaotic rush of people, Qin Ruan rushed downstairs.

With a worrying look, she glanced at the side hall, where Huo Yunjiao was being helped out by Huo Junxin. His crimson lips were strikingly conspicuous.

Qin Ruan quickly rushed up to him, grasping his hand, and transferring nether energy to him freely.

Her voice shook, "Why are you vomiting blood, what happened?"

Nicholas casually wiped off the blood on his face and stepped out of the side hall.

Upon hearing Qin Ruan’s question, he replied, "He just suddenly started vomiting blood, without any warning signs."

Huo Junxin was helping the Third Master, and said to Qin Ruan, "Sister, you need to move aside. I need to take the Third Brother to see the doctor."

"No." Qin Ruan shook her head in refusal.

She moved to the other side of the Third Master, with one hand supporting his arm and the other continuously supplying him with nether power. "It’s no use seeing a doctor with the Third Master’s current condition. Let’s get him to the hall first, I will try to moderate the Evil Qi in his body."

Huo Yunjiao was vomiting blood, but he did not pass out and remained clear-headed.

He turned his pale face with his deep, cold eyes towards Qin Ruan, his eyes filled with warmth.

His crimson lips parted slightly, and he comforted her softly, "Ruanruan, don’t worry."
