Chapter 510: Getting a Slave (1/2)
Xue Wei could not help but raise an eyebrow in surprise. This tenacious will to live had surprised him, and he felt a bit of respect towards this female ghost.
When the pill entered her mouth, she did not try to spit it out. Instead, she glared at the man, and then slowly sat down and began rotating her energy through her body to find out what this unfamiliar item that had been put in her mouth was.
She soon found that it had dissipated the moment it entered her mouth and that a strange, but warm, current of energy began traveling through her body.
At first, she only felt the warmth. She frowned as she was unfamiliar with this sensation, and the energy began entering her meridians, slowly but surely, unclogging the impurities within.
The warmth slowly began to become painful. She could feel spikes of pain as the warmth began to force the impurities out, and while she was puzzled as to what was happening, the pain made her feel a strange sense of strength.
She did not feel as if she was being tormented. Instead, she was aware that this was helping her, and she gritted her teeth and stayed conscious while the pill was beginning to wreak havoc on her body.
Pills did not exist in the Ghost Realm. There were no herbs and no resources to be found, apart from the ghosts, souls, and the essence in the air.
This was also why the ghosts were doing so much to invent technology that could help them, since they could not rely on other resources that could be gathered in the realm.
The middle-aged ghost observed with a cold look as the woman was twitching in pain, but she did not seem to be in grave danger.
He was getting more and more excited as he saw how the pill was starting to take effect.
He saw the black goo starting to be expelled through her skin, and knew that these was the impurities that previously had been blocking her meridians.
It seemed that the pills worked!
Xue Wei observed the woman. He was much more interested in her than he was in the effect of the pill. She was strong willed and different from the others.
He did not feel any romantic attraction to the woman, but he admired her for being so tenacious, even when facing such a horrible situation.
”This woman, I want her to follow me, in place of the payment for the pills,” Xue Wei suddenly said.
His words shocked not only the middle-aged man, but also Lan and the woman.
