Chapter 1335: Chapter 1385: This Matter Has Become Very Troublesome

Li Yifei stared at Na Yi, the blood-red hue in his eyes growing deeper. Na Yi knelt quietly in front of him, and the two remained frozen like this for half a minute.

Na Yi suddenly opened her eyes at this moment. Her expression became incredibly panicked, and she grasped Li Yifei’s arm, speaking urgently and incessantly, her face growing more frantic by the second.

"Na Yi says you can’t kill her. If you kill her, you will die!" Uncle Bunong had somehow returned and translated Na Yi’s words.

Li Yifei let out a long breath, feeling drained. The inner turmoil he’d been experiencing had utterly exhausted him. He gave a faint, bitter smile and said, "Uncle Bunong, I’m sorry. I was very agitated earlier and probably frightened you all."

Bunong smiled faintly and replied, "I can understand your feelings. If you could accept everything calmly, it would mean you’re a heartless person. Na Yi’s decision was indeed a mistake, but seeing you like this now, I can be certain you’ll treat her well in the future. That puts my heart at ease."

Li Yifei sighed and said, "Uncle Bunong, I must be honest with you—accepting Na Yi right now is genuinely difficult for me. Do you know why I came here? It’s because my wife was poisoned with the Coma Worm, and I came seeking a way to remove it."

Bunong’s face changed at once. "What did you say? Your wife was poisoned with the Coma Worm?"

Li Yifei was startled by Bunong’s reaction. "Is the Worm difficult to remove?"

"No!" Bunong shook his head and said, "But those of us who know the Worm Technique never leave Miaojiang. Even if someone does venture out occasionally, they are strictly prohibited from using the Worm on outsiders. This is a serious matter—I have to report this to some clan chiefs to figure out which village’s people went out and poisoned someone."

Li Yifei exclaimed in surprise, "So there’s not just one village proficient in the Worm Technique?"

Bunong nodded and replied, "Correct. We have eight villages that have carried on the tradition of the Worm Technique."

"I see. So removing the Coma Worm from my wife shouldn’t be too difficult, right?" Li Yifei asked again.

Bunong responded, "It’s very easy—Na Yi can do it." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

"That’s good." Li Yifei nodded repeatedly. No matter what, resolving Xu Yingying’s Worm Poison came first; the rest could be dealt with later.

Bunong continued, "I’ll have someone notify the other villages immediately, and tomorrow we’ll discuss this matter together. As for you... Na Yi, it’s getting late. Prepare something to host Li Yifei." He then explained to Na Yi in the Miao language before walking out.

Na Yi glanced at Li Yifei, lightly bit her lip, then turned and descended the bamboo house.

Li Yifei let out another long sigh and shook his head sharply. This whole situation had caught him off guard, leaving him utterly frustrated. However, his strong mental resilience helped him regain his composure for now.

Na Yi’s Life-bound Worm had implanted itself in him. Neither Na Yi nor Bunong could remove it, but that didn’t mean others couldn’t. At tomorrow’s gathering of the eight villages, Li Yifei could inquire about it.

Even if they all failed, Li Yifei wouldn’t accept defeat. There must be other ways to resolve the Whole-hearted Worm. Just as he hadn’t believed he could acquire Innate Vital Energy before, yet ultimately found a solution, improving his strength and even teaching those at home Dual Cultivation to acquire True Qi.

Finding calm again, Li Yifei began rotating the True Qi inside his body, examining his condition. The rotation was entirely smooth, showing no signs of obstruction—he couldn’t detect the presence of the Worm at all. This made Li Yifei wonder whether he had truly been poisoned or whether his robust True Qi, being Innate Vital Energy, might have directly refined the Worm upon entry.

This speculation reignited Li Yifei’s hope. If that were indeed the case, all this panic had been for nothing.

Still, whether it was a false alarm or a genuine poisoning, Li Yifei knew he had to face the situation calmly and think of a solution. Anger and despair wouldn’t solve anything. Na Yi was the key to this matter, and if the Worm was truly that potent, then Na Yi essentially became his spiritual double. Anyone harming Na Yi would effectively harm him, so he had to protect her. If he were to leave here, he would have to take Na Yi along.

While immersed in these thoughts, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs. Na Yi appeared before him, now dressed in traditional Miao female attire, though her elaborate Miao tribe headpiece had been altered to signify she was no longer a maiden but had become someone’s wife.

Na Yi looked at Li Yifei, her gaze evident with cautiousness and concern. Li Yifei’s heart softened; after all, this girl bore no ill intentions. Despite the grave consequences, Li Yifei couldn’t bring himself to truly hate her. Managing a strained smile, he stood up.

Seeing the smile on Li Yifei’s face, the worry in Na Yi’s expression vanished immediately. Delight replaced it as she reached to hold Li Yifei’s hand. Li Yifei hesitated but ultimately allowed her to take it.

A brighter smile graced Na Yi’s face. She gestured downstairs, leading Li Yifei down the bamboo house. As the two descended, Bunong entered the courtyard. Upon seeing them hand-in-hand, he broke into a grin and said, "Li Yifei, have you come to terms with it?"

Li Yifei gave a bitter smile and replied, "It’s not that I’ve come to terms with it, but I have no other choice right now. However, I’d appreciate it if you explained to Na Yi that I need time—I can’t immediately view her as my wife or lover. It’s difficult for me."

Bunong laughed heartily and said, "No problem. But with Na Yi being so beautiful and adorable, you’ll fall for her sooner or later." With that, he translated Li Yifei’s message for Na Yi in the Miao language.

Na Yi’s face lit up with even greater joy after hearing his words. She continued holding Li Yifei’s hand and led him to the dining area downstairs.

Four dishes and a soup were laid out. The meal, rich in traditional flavors, looked and smelled appealing, arousing Li Yifei’s appetite. Following Miao customs, the three sat quietly for about a minute before starting to eat.

Na Yi kept serving food to Li Yifei, her happiness evident—like a doting young wife.

"Li Yifei, I still don’t know what you do for a living. Could you tell me?" Bunong asked as they finished their meal and went upstairs together.

Li Yifei said, "I’ll be honest with you. I’m the clan chief of a family—a role similar to your village chief. My family owns some assets, and we also have a large estate. My wife being poisoned with the Worm this time was due to my opponent’s actions."

"I had a feeling you weren’t an ordinary person—otherwise, you wouldn’t possess such remarkable skills," Bunong replied.

Li Yifei added, "Na Yi giving me this Worm has really troubled me because I have over ten wives."

"Over ten wives?!" Bunong stared at Li Yifei in shock.

Li Yifei nodded. "Yes. Due to unique circumstances, we all ended up together. We live harmoniously like a big family. But now, if I must stay with only Na Yi, I’d be betraying the others. This is what makes it so difficult for me. I love them—I can’t just abandon them."

Bunong sighed heavily. "Ah, Na Yi has truly caused you trouble."

"Forget it, we can discuss this later. Uncle Bunong, I have a favor to ask of you."

"Go ahead."

"Could you implant a different Worm in me?"

"Why?" Bunong asked skeptically.

Li Yifei explained, "I have powerful True Qi. When I checked earlier, I couldn’t sense anything unusual in my body. So I suspect Na Yi’s Worm may be ineffective on me."

Bunong shook his head and replied, "That’s impossible. Na Yi’s Life-bound Worm is connected to her life and death. If you had refined her Worm, Na Yi would already be dead."

"Really?" Li Yifei’s face turned bitter.

"If you want to test it, it’s simple. Drink this water." Bunong pointed to a cup on the table.

Without hesitation, Li Yifei drank the water and rotated his True Qi. He immediately noticed an anomaly in his body, and his True Qi quickly crushed it into powder.

"I think I just refined that Worm," Li Yifei said, looking at Bunong.

Bunong stared at him in amazement. After concentrating carefully, he couldn’t discern any abnormalities in Li Yifei. Then, he grasped Li Yifei’s wrist and exclaimed, "You’ve actually refined that Worm."

Li Yifei was overjoyed and said, "That’s what I sensed too."

Bunong, however, looked deeply worried after another examination. "Although you can effortlessly refine ordinary Worms and neutralize them, you cannot refine Na Yi’s Life-bound Worm. It’s the most powerful Worm in Miaojiang’s Worm Technique, and attempting to refine it would mean killing Na Yi."

Li Yifei’s joy instantly froze, and his fleeting happiness vanished into thin air.
