When Beauty Meets Beasts-Chapter 825 Puppet Worm

When Huanhuan approached the pill, Clement suddenly slithered out of her sleeve.

He bared his teeth at the pill, looking very anxious.

Shuang Yun turned to look at Sang Ye. "What's going on with your son?"

Although Clement could not speak, as his father and a fellow snake beast, Shuang Yun could understand what Clement's hisses meant.

"He says there's something in the pill, and it's very annoying."

What could it be that even the heaven-devouring python found annoying?

Huanhuan was a little curious and opened the pill.

There was something white inside.

If one looked closer, one could see that it seemed to be a living thing.

Little Brat suddenly said, "It's the egg of a puppet worm."

Huanhuan froze.

She had only heard of puppet medicine but not puppet worms.

The last time on dawn continent, Yun Hui was forced to take a puppet medicine to save her. It caused her, Bai Di, and the others to chase him all the way from the dawn continent to the secret dragon continent. She would remember the puppet medicine for the rest of her life.

Little Brat guessed what she was thinking and took the initiative to explain, "Puppet medicine is refined from puppet worms."

Huanhuan understood. So that was how it was!

Little Brat continued, "Puppet worms are usually divided into mother worms and children worms. There's only one mother worm, but there are many children worms. The one in your hand is an unhatched child worm. The mother worm should be in the hands of the first elder. If one takes the pill, the worm will immediately hatch and parasitize one's body, constantly corroding one's nerves. The first elder can then control the victim through the mother worm and make them obedient to him like a puppet."

Huanhuan clicked her tongue. "What a vicious existence."

The others couldn't hear Little Brat. They could only hear Huanhuan suddenly say this. They were both surprised and puzzled.

Huanhuan explained to them about the puppet worms.

Shuang Yun was furious. "The first elder actually dared to attack you? He's courting death!"

Xue Ling's expression did not look too good either. "Fortunately, we were careful and kidnapped the second elder for interrogation. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

The journey from Rock City to the City of 10,000 Beasts was very long. There might be many unexpected situations along the way.

It was not completely impossible for the second elder to put something into Huanhuan's food when they were not paying attention.

Just thinking about Huanhuan's pained appearance after being parasitized by a puppet worm, Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, and Xue Ling couldn't help but feel murderous.

Unfortunately, the first elder was in the City of 10,000 Beasts, and they could not see him right now. They could only focus their anger on the second elder.

The second elder sensed their murderous gazes and couldn't help but tremble. He quickly shouted, "It has nothing to do with me! I didn't know that it was the egg of a puppet worm. This is all because of the first elder. Don't take it out on me!"

Xue Ling sneered. "Even if you're not the mastermind, you're still an accomplice. You're not a good person!"

"But I've confessed everything. Can't I atone for my mistakes?"

Shuang Yun couldn't be bothered with him. He turned to look at Huanhuan. "What do you plan to do with him?"

Huanhuan looked at Bai Di first. He was looking at her encouragingly, so she mustered her courage and said what she was thinking.

"Since they want to harm me with this puppet worm, we'll give them a taste of their own medicine."

Shuang Yun reacted quickly. "I understand."

He took the pill from Huanhuan and walked to the second elder.

The second elder looked at him warily. "What are you doing?"

Shuang Yun got the two beast soldiers to hold the second elder down on either side. Then, he forced the second elder's mouth open and stuffed the pill into his mouth along with the egg. He forced him to swallow it.

The second elder was extremely terrified.

He had heard everything Huanhuan said just now. Puppet worms were no good thing. If he ate this pill, he would become a puppet controlled by others!

He struggled with all his might, but in terms of strength, he was no match for the two beast soldiers.

Unable to break free, he was forced to eat the pill and egg.

He didn't know if it was his imagination, but the second elder felt something crawling in his stomach.

He wanted to vomit, but he couldn't.

He felt worse than dead.

Bai Di said to Huanhuan, "It's getting late. Shall we go back and rest?"

"Mhm."

Before leaving, Shuang Yun specially instructed the beast soldiers in charge of guarding to keep an eye on the second elder and not let anyone come into contact with him. If anything unusual happened, they should inform him immediately.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After returning home, everyone washed up and went to sleep.

Huanhuan lay on the bed, took out the Wheel of Machinery, and entered the learning space in her dream.

Little Brat was surprised to see her suddenly appear. "Why did you suddenly come in? Shouldn't you be making out with your husbands tonight?"

"I'm here to look for Lin Qing. I want to ask him how to cut off the connection from puppet worms."

"I see." Little Brat pointed to the door not far away. "He's still there. Go ahead." 𝒇𝘳ee𝚠𝘦𝚋n૦𝐯el coｍ

Huanhuan pushed open the door and walked in. She saw Lin Qing sitting among the books and reading seriously.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lin Qing looked up at her. "Why are you here?"

Huanhuan approached him with a smile. "I'm here to visit you."

Lin Qing saw through her thoughts. "I think you came to me for a reason, right?"

"No, I'm really here to visit you this time. You helped treat my Sang Ye the last time and saved Yin Ji later on. I'm very grateful to you. I don't have anything to repay you with. In the future, let me know if you have any instructions for me. I'll definitely do my best!"

Hearing her words, Lin Qing put down the book in his hand. "I do need someone's help with something."

"Whatever you say."

"I died an undignified death back then. If you're free, remember to help me clean up my bones."

ραпdα Й?νê|(сòm) This request exceeded Huanhuan's expectations. She couldn't help but be stunned. "You're already dead?"

Instead of answering, Lin Qing asked, "If I'm not dead, how can my soul be trapped here?"

"But aren't you a god? Do gods die?"

"Gods are indeed immortal, but I was unlucky enough to encounter a group of gods fighting. I was unlucky and lost my life too."

Lin Qing said it very casually as if he didn't care about the past.

"Death is like a lamp going out. I don't care much about what I look like after dying, but since you said you want to repay me, help me clean up the bones so that they won't be left in that dark place where they'll grow mold and mushrooms."

Huanhuan asked tentatively, "May I ask where your bones are?"

"I forgot where exactly. Anyway, I remember there was a tree there. It was quite ugly. It had purple leaves and a black trunk. Its name seems to be..."

Lin Qing tried his best to think for a long time before remembering. "Its name is Demon Eye!"
