The Unparalleled Spiritual Doctor: Demon Emperor’s Defiant Love

Chapter 145: Little Mute Raised His Price on the Spot

Ye Jiuge climbed over a wall and entered the Little Mute’s residence. Ye Yu, Wan Ziyang, and Bai Songling followed her.

“Little Mute, come out.” Ye Jiuge pinched the worm with her left hand while using her right hand to knock on Little Mute’s bedroom door.

The wooden door opened without a sound.

Little Mute’s scrawny, puny figure was concealed behind the door. His small, pale face poked through the doorway.

Two large eyes in the darkest shade of black stared at the four of them impassively. They were particularly chilling late at night.

Ye Jiuge and Bai Songling were already accustomed to Little Mute’s disconcerting appearance.

As Wan Ziyang and Ye Yu saw him for the first time, they could not help but stare at the Little Mute warily.

On the other hand, Little Mute did not even spare a glance at Wan Ziyang and Ye Yu, who were strangers to him.

He reached his small, bony hand toward Ye Jiuge before raising his thin index finger. He expressed that he would like a bottle of Spiritual Beast Pills in exchange for the Poison Earthworm.

“I am not here to trade.” Ye Jiuge motioned to Ye Yu, who was standing behind her. She asked, “How did this thing end up on my friend’s body all of a sudden?”

Little Mute’s large jet-black eyes swept over Ye Yu. After that, he signaled with his hand that the worm was eating.

Others could not make heads or tails of his hand gestures. However, Ye Jiuge instantly understood Little Mute’s meaning. “Are you trying to tell me that this worm was consuming something on my friend’s body?”

Little Mute nodded emotionlessly.

“What is there to eat on my body?” Ye Yu could not stop scratching his back.

“Turn around and let me have a look.” Ye Jiuge asked Ye Yu to rotate his body before activating her Spiritual Eye to examine his back carefully.

In the end, she discovered that there were a few subtle red lines near his shoulder blade. If one did not look carefully, there was no chance of finding them.

“It seems that Liu Yunfei left something on your body.” Ye Jiuge used her Lightning Fire Needle to extricate the ‘red thread’ from Ye Yu’s back.

To their surprise, the ‘red thread’ was a living creature. After it was pulled off Ye Yu’s body, it wanted to flee. However, the Poison Earthworm in Ye Jiuge’s hand devoured it abruptly with a slurp.

“What the h*ll is this?” Bai Songling stared at the Poison Earthworm before moving his eyes to Ye Yu’s back. He could feel himself getting goosebumps all over.

“This is a type of tiny poisonous worm used mainly to keep track of a person’s whereabouts. Usually, it is well-hidden during inactivity. However, once triggered, she could locate you even if you were more than a thousand miles away.” Ye Jiuge looked at Ye Yu and asked, “Did you not feel it when she poisoned you?”

“Not at all.” Ye Yu shook his head.

At that time, he had been focused entirely on extracting details about his sister out of Liu Yunfei. He had not realized that Liu Yunfei had been doing something to his body during their entire interaction.

“Just because she’s female doesn’t mean that you should let your guard down,” Wan Ziyang said flatly.

Earlier, when Ye Yu had told them about the sorceress, his tone had sounded protective. He could tell that she had an unusual place in Ye Yu’s heart.

He even thought that Ye Yu was under the influence of Mental Manipulation. He was about to ask Ye Jiuge to perform a check-up on him.

“I was careless.” Ye Yu could not help but lower his head.

Liu Yunfei had kept giving him radiant smiles. He’d really thought that she was a rare, kind soul. He had been quite complacent with her.

“Liu Yunfei’s cultivation level is much higher than yours. It’s normal that you were not able to see through her. Truth to be told, when you came out from the study, I scanned your body. I did not find anything out of place at all.” Ye Jiuge’s Spiritual Eye was not omnipotent.

She started to consider if it would be better to let them swallow a few Poison Detection Pills before undertaking their tasks in the future.

“Think nothing of it. Even though you couldn’t smoke her out, we still have this little critter!” Bai Songling looked at the Poison Earthworm in Ye Jiuge’s hand with a burning gaze, as if he was feasting his eyes upon an exceptional treasure.

“You are right.” Ye Jiuge nodded.

Since the adept Poison Earthworm possessed special skills that could help them deal with this kind of weird poisonous creature, they should leave it alone.
