Chapter 443

~6 min read 1,184 words

Ye Changqing always felt that eating wood worms like this wouldn't work, but Xu Jie and the others didn't feel anything at all.

He thought cultivators should indeed be unaffected, but when eating breakfast the next day, Ye Changqing felt something was wrong.

Because damn it, why was there only spiritual power fluctuation when scrambling for seats, but no sound?

Didn't they always rush over in a swarm before, and shout a few words? But today, he only heard footsteps and fighting sounds, and couldn't hear anyone speaking at all.

Damn it, are they performing a mime?

Outside the kitchen, the competition among the disciples was still fierce, and they did indeed speak, but this sound... how should he put it? It was as if their throats had been strangled by fate.

"Watch my entanglement hand."

"Watch my cotton palm."

"Flowing light step."

The voice was hoarse and weak, as if the throat was knotted.

It wasn't until the disciples entered the kitchen and Ye Changqing saw them that he confirmed: damn it, this is internal heat.

It must be internal heat; hoarse voice, red eyes, if this isn't internal heat, what is?

But even so, after breakfast, Xu Jie, Zhao Zhengping, and others still invited the disciples to go worm fishing together.

"Let's go, brothers, let's go worm fishing."

"Okay..."

Looking at a group of disciples there moving their mouths, but unable to make a sound, unless the ear was stuck to the mouth, one could vaguely hear some.

But even so, these guys actually still wanted to go worm fishing. Ye Changqing said helplessly.

"I say, fellow Senior Brothers, since it's like this, why don't we eat something light today?"

"%¥#¥%¥"

Hearing this, Xu Jie opened his mouth and said with difficulty, but Ye Changqing only saw his mouth move, but there was no sound at all.

"What did you say?"

"I said ¥#¥……%……¥"

"Hmm?"

"I said... I'm fine, Junior Brother, don't... worry..."

Damn it, this is called "fine"? Then speak up; just moving your mouth without making a sound, and you call it "fine"?

Ye Changqing was truly convinced, but he couldn't stop them. For the sake of a bite to eat, these people were really risking their lives.

Moreover, these wood worms seemed to have some problems too. Why were even Saint Realm existences like Hong Zun and the others hoarse?

It was as if it had nothing to do with cultivation, and Xu Jie and the others must have used spiritual power to heal their injuries.

According to everyone, it didn't hurt or itch, but it was as if the throat had disappeared, and they just couldn't make a sound.

Strange.

At lunchtime, it was deep-fried wood worms again, and everyone was still eating happily.

But after this meal, everyone, including Hong Zun and the others, couldn't make a sound at all.

They could only use spiritual power transmission to communicate.

"Delicious, the more I eat these wood worms, the more I want to eat them."

"Haha, Senior Brother is right. Let's go, let's go worm fishing again."

"Let's go."

In the kitchen courtyard, a group of Dao One Sect disciples were seen, all of them giggling, but there was no sound, yet they were all exuberant with each other, looking like a group of lunatics together.

Such a strange scene made Ye Changqing's mouth twitch. Since it's like this, do you still want to eat?

"I say, Senior Brothers, why don't we rest for a day and eat another day? You can't even speak."

"Junior Brother, no need to worry, we can still use spiritual power transmission. Look, it doesn't affect us at all."

Good, really good. Listening to that tone, because there is spiritual power transmission, so the throat can be discarded?

For the next few days, Ye Changqing strolled all over Tree City, while the disciples ate wood worms for several days in a row.

The final result was that everyone, one by one, was silenced; they couldn't make a single sound.

Although they could communicate through spiritual power transmission, there were limitations.

The other party must be a cultivator and have spiritual power in their body, otherwise, you couldn't communicate through spiritual power transmission.

This led to the fact that communication among the disciples themselves was no problem, but once they encountered ordinary people, it didn't work.

Just like now, Xu Jie was gesturing at a maid in the City Lord's Mansion, and the maid was confused.

"Immortal Master, what do you want to say? This servant doesn't understand."

It made the maid anxious. Such scenes were everywhere, and Ye Changqing had seen them many times.

When he was there, he could translate for them.

But even so, damn it, these guys still wanted to eat deep-fried wood worms; it was truly ridiculous.

The strange behavior of the Dao One Sect disciples naturally couldn't be hidden from the City Lord, that is, Wei Feng's father.

At this time, the father and son were sitting opposite each other in the front hall. Looking at Wei Feng who only opened his mouth without making a sound, the City Lord had black lines on his head.

"What exactly is going on with you all?"

"Father, don't worry, it's fine."

"Fine?"

Watching his son communicate with him using spiritual power transmission, the City Lord frowned even more. This is called "fine"?

"Son, why don't we stop eating it? You've become mute."

He naturally knew about eating wood worms, but they had eaten themselves mute, and they still wanted to eat?

Hearing this, Wei Feng looked around, with a cautious expression. After confirming that there was no one else around, he quietly took out a deep-fried wood worm from his spatial ring and handed it to his father.

"Father, try it."

This was something Wei Feng had secretly hidden. Taking it out to give to his father at this time was truly a model of filial piety.

Taking the wood worm, the City Lord was suspicious. Is this thing really that delicious? They ate until their voices were hoarse, and they still wouldn't let go?

Holding the idea of trying it, the City Lord took a bite, and then his eyes instantly lit up.

"This..."

And Wei Feng had an expression of "I knew it long ago," nodding with satisfaction. Now his father knew why they would rather be mute than stop eating these wood worms.

These wood worms were really delicious, and the most critical point was that cooking these wood worms didn't require any superb skills.

Even if someone else did it, the taste might not be as good as what Ye Changqing made, but it was definitely a delicacy, because there was no need for other seasonings at all.

So, next, the people in the City Lord's Mansion also became mute.

The first to bear the brunt was the City Lord, followed by the City Lord's family, and then those stewards and commanders.

In just two days, the entire City Lord's Mansion seemed to have been turned off by someone, silent and soundless. ===== CHAPTER 444 =====
