Returning to Mountain Lord’s chamber, the guard begged for his life, “Lord, Young miss, spare me. Young-, no, Yang Ming that bastard forced me…”
Lei Yuting was clueless as Zhuo Fan waved, “Stand aside.”
The guard curled up in a corner.
Then Zhuo Fan walked to the old man’s bed. Zhuo Fan smiled at the naked killing intent in the old man’s eyes, “I can heal you, but you have to listen to me afterwards.”
Lei Yuting was moved, “You can heal godfather?”
Zhuo Fan only stared at the old man in the eye.
The old man hesitated but Zhuo Fan dispelled it with a smile, “Relax, I won’t do anything that might jeopardize your clan. I am Zhuo Fan, Luo clan’s steward. We have a common enemy and I am missing a Bone Tempering expert that I hope you can fill in for.”
His words worked to intensify the glare in the old man’s eyes.
Zhuo Fan grinned, knowing he agreed, with a wave of his finger the Blood Infant left the guard and floated in front of Zhuo Fan.
At the sight of the bloody light, the guard shivered. This was the one behind his partner’s gruesome death.
Lei Yuting was shocked, having also suffered at the hands of this light, “Zhuo Fan, what are you trying to do?”
“Heal him.” Zhuo Fan flitted his eyes over her.
“Can… this thing heal?” Lei Yuting was doubtful, having seen Zhuo Fan using it to attack and humiliate her before.
[What if this thing worsens godfather’s illness?]
Zhuo Fan sneered, “Young miss, your godfather agreed already. I have no reason to hurt him.”
“Then what is that thing?” Lei Yuting watched the old man with worry.
“Demonic creature!”
Zhuo Fan explained coldly, “Us, demonic cultivators, refine demonic creatures. Be it for attacking or defending, these creatures are essential. Do you know why Yang Ming snapped when I said the old man had a foreign object inside?”
Lei Yuting shook her head, “Didn’t you say it was a blind guess?”
Zhuo Fan almost spat blood, “Now I know why he fooled you. You’re a blockhead. Did you also believe me when I was fooling him? I see now why he left so at ease, even while you are alive.”
Lei Yuting blushed and lowered her head.
Godfather always told her she had a talent for cultivation, a genius. But Zhuo Fan was the first to call her blockhead.
“The reason why he flipped was because my words hit him where it hurts.” Zhuo Fan spoke gravely, “As for why the old man is immobilized, it’s because of a demonic creature! I will now use mine to expel the one inside him.”
Even so, Lei Yuting was still worried, “Your demonic creature can expel his?”
“Ha-ha-ha…”
Zhuo Fan laughed as he heard the biggest joke in his life.
Based on his early diagnosis, Yang Ming’s demonic creature was refined from a parasitic worm, the lowest among demonic creatures. But his was the Blood Infant, feared by even the ten Emperors of old. How could they ever be equal?
[Sigh, ignorance is terrifying!]
Zhuo Fan no longer wasted words on Lei Yuting and waved his finger so that the Blood Infant entered the old man.
A flash of red passed and the old man’s skin crawled. As it started to wiggle, a light flashed over that spot.
Wherever the light went, the wiggling stopped.
After a few dozen breaths, the Blood Infant returned to Zhuo Fan’s body while the old man began to move his finger. His lips parted to let a faint whisper, “Ting’er…”
“Godfather!”
Lei Yuting grabbed his hand as tears fell. But Zhuo Fan frowned and muttered, “Damn it. This old man won’t move anytime soon, his blood vessels atrophied. He needs at least half a year to recover; I helped him for nothing.”
Even with his low voice, Lei Yuting picked up his every word.
Lei Yuting glared at him, “Make no mistake, my godfather owes you and I will do everything to repay it. You won’t lose out.”
