65: Chapter 65 Dinner – The Moon God Appears 65: Chapter 65 Dinner – The Moon God Appears Compared to the first energy surge, this second wave was even more violent.
Due to the inner strength that initially suppressed the energy in my body, it was merely excruciating, but after this rock’s energy entered my body, it merged with the original energy to form an even stronger force, completely suppressing my inner strength.
Now this energy rampaged through my meridians like an uninvited guest, wildly wreaking havoc inside me.
“Ye Shikai, what’s wrong with you, don’t scare me.” Luo Shiqi caressed her own pallid face.
At this moment, she had none of the authority of the Underground Queen, appearing as panicked as a little girl who had lost her parents.
Su Qingyu, Su Ziqing, and Zhuang Yan were also full of urgent worry.
Ye Shikai’s face had turned as white as paper, looking frighteningly pale.
Stay back.” Ye Shikai roared hoarsely.
With that roar, all eyes were drawn to him, everyone looking at him as if he were a monster.
The host was completely baffled.
What’s going on, has this guy forgotten to take his medication?
Ye Shikai knew all too well the terror of Demon Addiction.
Once it erupted, it would be a rampage of indiscriminate slaughter.
Previously, an episode had been subdued only with the combined efforts of several war generals from Netherworld Palace suppressing the energy within him.
But now, he was in Huaxia, where could he find a cultivator?
Moreover, once Demon Addiction erupted and energy overflowed from his body, it would be like a ticking time bomb.
It wouldn’t be long before the entire hotel would suffer the consequences.
Ye Shikai looked weakly at the women around him.
If he had an episode right here, it was likely that everyone would…
He dared not even think about what would happen if things went south, and if he accidentally killed them, he probably wouldn’t be able to face living in this world any longer.
The pain in his chest rapidly spread throughout his body.
It felt as though millions of ants were gnawing at him, the pain unbearable, making him sit on pins and needles, his body trembling uncontrollably.
“Call an ambulance quickly, someone’s having an attack,” someone said urgently upon seeing the situation, clearly mistaking the condition for a disease outbreak.
“Quick, quick, call 120,” another person added.
“Ye Shikai, hold on, the ambulance is on the way,” Su Qingyu pressed Ye Shikai’s arms tightly, feeling both anxious and shocked.
Could it be he has epilepsy?
She wondered why she had never heard him mention it.
If Ye Shikai knew what Su Qingyu was thinking at the moment, he would probably be speechless.
I mean, Demon Addiction is on a whole different level compared to epilepsy…
The energy within him continued to rampage uncontrollably, having even reached his Dantian.
His face turned incredibly red, as if a slight squeeze would make blood ooze out.
Ye Shikai felt his consciousness growing increasingly blurry, as though he was falling into a black vortex, unable to extricate himself.
He knew Demon Addiction was about to break out, and he had to leave the venue immediately, the farther the better.
“Move, let me out.” Ye Shikai roared, breaking free from Su Qingyu’s hands and pushing Luo Shiqi out of the way as he sprinted towards the door.
Ignoring the calls of the crowd, Ye Shikai raced out of the door.
With the little bit of consciousness he had left, he had to find a desolate place, and then let go of himself.
Even though he didn’t know what would happen, while he could still control himself, he had to minimize the damage as much as possible.
Everyone watched as she dashed out of the venue like a madwoman, exchanging glances with one another.
The women also ran out, trying to find Ye Shikai, but he was too fast; it was impossible for them to catch up to him.
At the same time, in a corner behind the venue, an extraordinarily beautiful woman in a white silk dress watched the scene from afar.
Her delicate face seemed like a masterpiece crafted by God, stunning the crowd wherever she appeared.
The noble aura she emitted was no less than that of Su Qingyu.
Yet, she deliberately chose to sit in the corner, as if intentionally avoiding attention.
The woman’s brow furrowed as she watched Ye Shikai rush out.
Then, suddenly, she disappeared on the spot, as if she had never been there.
Everyone’s attention was on Ye Shikai, so her abrupt vanishing went unnoticed…
After leaving the hotel, Ye Shikai headed towards the riverbank, relying on his memory.
Fortunately, the hotel wasn’t far from the suburbs, and the speed of a cultivator was astonishingly fast, beyond the comprehension of a normal person.
Soon, Ye Shikai reached the riverbank.
After looking around and seeing only a few scattered households, he felt relieved; even if he lost control now, nobody would notice him.
Ye Shikai “plumped” down on the grass, finally relaxing the tense strings in his head.
His body ached more and more, and his consciousness grew increasingly blurry, but he felt physically relaxed.
He sighed inwardly: all he needed to do now was to vent.
Closing his eyes, he felt as though he was being sucked into a vortex.
Just as he was about to lose consciousness completely, a hand gently patted his shoulder.
Ye Shikai abruptly opened his eyes and saw through the haze a beautiful face.
He realized it was a woman, her pale hand lightly resting on his shoulder, and a stream of energy flowed from her hand into his body.
This energy felt soft and comforting, unlike the rigid energy within him; it was as if lying on a plush sofa.
The energy alleviated the pain instantly, neutralizing the original energy in his body like an acid-base reaction.
Slowly, he began to recover.
“You…” After a moment, Ye Shikai focused his eyes and recognized the woman before him.
The Moon God Ji Qian!
“Ji Qian, how did you get here?” Ye Shikai said with surprise written all over his face.
Ever since he returned to Huaxia, he hadn’t seen her, and now she appeared before him like a dream.
However, his surprise was mingled with deep unease, because of that incident…
Ji Qian didn’t answer but just coldly stared into his eyes.
Suddenly, she raised her hand and “smack,” she slapped him across the face, hard, leaving a bright red mark.
“Jerk,” Ji Qian cursed, her voice even carrying a sobbing tone.
Ye Shikai saw her eyes start to turn red.
Ye Shikai silently hung his head, speechless.
Indeed, toward Ji Qian, all he felt was abounding guilt; he truly was in the wrong, which was why he had returned to Huaxia alone and silently.
He lacked the courage to face her again.
