146 Reversing The Spell (2/2)

”No use shouting. Better save your breath when you could still breathe in some fresh air.” Wei Wei rubbed his ears with his eyes closed, annoyed by her squeaky voice. When he opened his eyes, he looked over to see that Huan Hei had just finished feeding Ya Nuo the bowl of liquid and wiped her mouth clean.

Chen Mu walked over to Huan Hei, ”Master Ku will begin the reverse spell, so you need to lay her down on the bed. You can leave the blanket on her, but everyone must stay away from her for now.”

The Yang's helped Huan Hei settle Ya Nuo on the bed before walking away from her. Their eyes never left her. Master Ku had his eyes closed when he started mumbling lowly and increased in volume as his palms raised higher in the air. His hands started waving smoothly in the air, looking as if he was scribbling something with his fingers. Finally, he loudly chanted the word ”go” and opened his eyes while directing his fingers at Hen Qing.

The moment his eyes met hers, she felt a rising heat from her legs that spread throughout her entire body, making her scream in terror. ”It burns!!! Ahhh!!! What did you do?!! Argh!!!!” She cried hysterically with her mouth wide opened and tears filling the spaces of her wrinkles. While she screamed piercing echoes into everyone's ears, the girl who had been lying on the bed moved.

Ya Nuo opened her eyes wide, looking straight at the wall. Her eyes were black like a puppet without a soul. Her head felt dizzy, and a mixed taste of sour and bitterness rushed up from her throat. Chen Mu took the bucket from the floor and placed it on the spot her head was facing. He patted her back and waited for her to release the toxins from her body.

When patting her didn't work, Master Ku walked over and tapped her acupuncture points while chanting some weird language. The moment he touched the back of her head, her eyes showed signs of consciousness. It was no longer black like before and she puked out half a bucket of gross worms. It was muddy with different critters crawling livelily.

Seeing her vomit such disgusting insects, Huan Hei had his arms stretched, ready to comfort her and soothe her back. ”Stop.” Chen Mu seriously warned, ”Before Master Ku says that you can come over, you need to stay where you are. She's not recovered from the Gu yet. Approaching her now may clash your Qi with hers and delay the treatment.”

Huan Hei and the Yang's could only stand there and watch as she continued throwing up more and more chunks of gooey substances. At first, she threw up all brown mud with worms. After a few more rounds of Master Ku's chanting and tapping, the colors of her discharge became clearer. Gradually, less living creatures came out of her vomit.

Finally, after half an hour of discharging unknown muddy substances, Master Ku drew a symbol on his palm and pressed it against her forehead. After that, she leaned sideways on the bed and breathed regularly. Master Ku nodded at Chen Mu indicating that the reversing had been successful and she just needs to rest well for a week or so to get better.

Chen Mu smiled, ”She's fine now. You can bring her home and take good care of her.”

Hearing these words, Huan Hei and the Yang's ran to her side, surrounding the pale malnourished girl on the bed. She opened her eyes when she sensed the familiar presences, ”Hmm? Why is everyone here? I'm so tired.”

Huan Hei initiated the hug, and everyone else followed, forming a huge marshmallow in the middle of a creepy dungeon cell. Everyone forgot where they were until Hen Qing spat out two mouthfuls of blood and cursed, ”I won't forgive any of you! You guys won't get any happier! I swear I'll come back to haunt each of you!”

Huan Hei carried Ya Nuo on his back while the Yang's had the essentials in their hands ready to provide her what she needed. When she felt the warmth of his body, she relaxed and smiled sweetly, falling asleep quickly. Chen Mu and Master Ku stayed behind because they wanted to find out who taught her to use such dark magic on another being.

Wei Wei led the group out of the dungeon and went back to get Chen Mu and Master Ku. When he got there, he noticed the abnormal atmosphere that wasn't there when he had left earlier. He shook his head, 'If it's not my business, I shouldn't ask.'

He had a guard release Hen Qing and kicked her out of Huang Mansion. Hen Qing's sorrowful figure slowly walked and crawled back to her home. The reverse Gu sucked up twenty years of her vitality and life span. Strands of white hair formed on her hair, making her look even older.
