A short while later, Master Yang's eyes softened, and he spoke softly, "Sometimes human blood, but most of the time… it's… pig blood, duck blood, and cow blood..."
"So you're saying that the Heavenly Spider needs a small amount of the Breeder's blood?" My mind was a chaotic mess, the fact that such sinister practices occurred in a village, or even several villages, without question.
No one seemed to question it.
Master Yang's face grew solemn, and he nodded, "Twice a month."
Suddenly, he vomited with a "wa" sound.
What he threw up was all his breakfast, none of it digested.
Other people's vomit usually smells of stomach acid, but Master Yang's was oddly clean.
"Could it be… he's lost the ability to digest." The thought made my pupils dilate.
If I could take pulses like Yu Longting, I wouldn't be left guessing; all I knew was that there was something seriously wrong with Master Yang vomiting this way.
But I didn't know the reason, let alone have the means to treat it!
The Ice Silkworm Gu spoke faintly, "The aftermath of the Spider Spirit Curse is the inability to eat."
This Ice Silkworm knew about curses??
Maybe it recognized them since all Evil Arts seemed to come from the same source.
Great, Little Fatty could not only defeat formidable enemies but also help with curses.
"Humans have to eat, not eating will lead to death." My mind was even more in disarray, I thought Master Yang would be fine after the Gu Removal.
Who knew that from the start, the man in the cloak meant to take Master Yang's life, "Do you have any way to deal with this?"
"I'm just a Gu Insect, I only know how to remove Gu and cast Gu, and oh, I can fight," The Ice Silkworm Gu's body wiggled slightly as it spoke lazily.
It didn't like sunlight, so it burrowed into my sleeve to cool off.
Right now, my heart especially longed for Yu Longting and Beichen, if they were here, this minor curse would be no issue at all, I said to my sleeve, "Got it, does Master Yang have any other symptoms besides not being able to eat?"
Sss~ The little guy is so cool, truly chilling to the bone when it first touched the skin of my wrist...
"No more." The muffled voice of the Ice Silkworm Gu came from the sleeve.
At this moment, Master Yang's wife, Eldest Sister Yang, ran out and supported her husband who was staggering after vomiting, "Yuanyuan, what's wrong with him? Why did he suddenly start vomiting?"
"He… can't eat for now, or he'll vomit whatever he eats."
I hesitated for a moment, originally wanting to lie, but in the end, I chose to tell the truth, "Help him inside to rest first."
Seeing their father , Master Yang's twin daughters were frantic, tilting their little heads as they asked, "Dad, are you okay? Why did you vomit, was breakfast not tasty?"
"What do you want to eat? We'll go buy it for you."
Hearing their sweet childish voices made me feel troubled.
I needed to investigate and understand the matter of the Heavenly Spider Cultivation in the village quickly, and to lift the curse on Master Yang, otherwise broken families wouldn't just be Master Yang's.
"Little sisters, your dad needs to rest. Stay by his side and take good care of him," I gently told the two little girls, then said to Eldest Sister Yang, "The matter of the Heavenly Spider is strange, I will go investigate outside."
"You're not familiar with the village, let Ah Xi accompany you," Eldest Sister Yang said while she gave water to Master Yang, who had settled down to sit, and she looked around for her eldest son, "Strange, where has that child gone so suddenly, have you two seen your brother?"
The bright and lively twin girls both shook their heads, "Don't know where big brother went, he might have gone to work in the fields."
"Or maybe he's gone to buy us some treats."
Master Yang's eldest son was extremely introverted; I had only seen him twice since I was at the Yang Family.
Last night he had just woken up from detoxifying, and we had a brief encounter. Find the newest release on novᴇlfire.net
This morning at breakfast, he hurriedly ate a few bites before leaving the table.
I frowned, confused about why he would suddenly disappear after a close escape from death at the Yang Family, "No worries, I can go by myself."
This kid... hadn't gone down the wrong path, had he...
As I was leaving the courtyard, I suddenly heard a young man scream in pain, "Ow, you little stinker, who are you to twist my ear? I'm the boss of Spring Wind Town. Everybody walks around me, and here you are, daring enough to mess with me, have you eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard?"
