Chapter 637: She Likes You

"Huh?" Chen Yu raised his head in surprise, looking at Ye Lao with a dazed expression. This old man had only one breath left from being tormented by external evils, yet he was still concerned about these things?

"If... I have any accidents, please take good care of her for me." Ye Lao said this while using almost all of his remaining strength. After finishing, his head dropped heavily, and he breathed violently.

"Please rest assured, Ye Lao. With me here, nothing will happen. If something truly does happen, I will take good care of Qing Ning for you, and I will also revitalize the Ye Clan for you," Chen Yu said.

Hearing Chen Yu say this, Ye Zhenghong finally set his mind at ease. He nodded heavily and then closed his eyes.

Chen Yu tapped with his right hand, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Chen Yu cut open Ye Lao's clothes. He was shockingly thin, yet his belly was frighteningly large, as if all his nutrition had surged into his stomach.

"Has Ye Lao always eaten a lot?" Chen Yu asked.

"Replying to the Master, Ye Lao's daily food intake is more than three times that of a normal person, and he never excretes," Wu Baozhen stood up and said respectfully.

"When was the last time he ate? What did he eat?" Chen Yu asked.

"Half an hour ago, three roasted chickens, two jin of rice, and various meats, eggs, and vegetables totaling over ten jin," Xu Guangyuan replied.

"You two don't have any objections to things like evil spirits, right? You don't think this is superstition, do you?" Chen Yu asked.

"No objections." Both of them shook their heads simultaneously.

"Master, Traditional Chinese Medicine is profound. In ancient times, there was the Talisman Blessing Technique, using Daoist Talisman Water to treat illnesses; these are actually related to communicating with spirits," Wu Baozhen said.

"As long as you don't have objections. The principle of Traditional Chinese Medicine is to treat illnesses, and as for how to treat them, it depends on one's own ability. The evil spirit hidden inside Ye Lao's body is a remnant of the ancient Ghost Clan," Chen Yu said. "In recent years, the Ghost Clan has appeared frequently. The scene that follows might be a bit bizarre; you should prepare yourselves mentally."

The two nodded, then stood to the side. The two old men watched Chen Yu like well-behaved elementary school students.

Chen Yu stepped forward, a sharp knife appearing in his right hand. He walked up, raised the blade, and stabbed it toward Ye Lao's drum-like abdomen.

Suddenly, Ye Lao's large abdomen moved. In that instant, it seemed to come alive, and immediately after, a giant eye appeared on his stomach.

The giant eye emitted a terrifying aura, and at the same time, countless blue veins surged out on Ye Lao's stomach, looking extremely terrifying like tangled earthworms.

And that giant eye suddenly opened, a strand of soul-captivating Mind Power emitting from the eye.

Xu Guangyuan and Wu Baozhen exchanged a glance, both revealing a look of horror. Although they had prepared themselves mentally, seeing that giant eye on Ye Lao's abdomen still made them feel uneasy.

The giant eye rolled around, looking at its surroundings, then fixed its gaze on Chen Yu. At the same time, the blue veins on Ye Lao's stomach protruded; these blue blood vessels were like armor, and the sharp knife in Chen Yu's hand cut onto it as if cutting into a piece of thick rubber, unable to cut through at all.

Chen Yu tried cutting a few times with the knife, but without success, so he stopped his movements.

At this moment, the expression in that giant eye shifted slightly. That gaze contained a hint of mockery, as if it were laughing at Chen Yu for overestimating his own capabilities.

"Not coming out?" Chen Yu stared at the giant eye.

The giant eye glanced at Chen Yu, revealing a look of disdain, then simply closed, as if it were closing its eyes to rest.

"This is your last chance. If you don't come out now, you won't have the chance to come out at all." Chen Yu smiled, taking out a piece of Talisman Paper and fiddling with it in his hand.

"Bluffing." A sharp, thin voice came from the giant eye. This guy's tone and manner were just like a human's, with a kind of punchable quality that made one want to beat it up.

"Is that so?" Chen Yu grinned. Suddenly, he flipped the Talisman Paper in his hand and slammed it onto the giant eye.

The moment the Talisman Paper was stuck on, a ray of light suddenly shone, and the blood-colored symbols on the Paper Talisman turned blood-red as if injected with blood.

A shrill scream came from the giant eye. The giant eye opened wide, as if Ye Lao's stomach was about to be split open by it.

"You mortals dare to provoke our Ghost Clan? When our clan revives and the Ghost Clan descends, you will surely be doomed forever." The ear-piercing voice came out accompanied by screams.

"Heh, wait until your Ghost Clan revives before you say that." Chen Yu sneered. Suddenly, he backhanded and drew Lichen, sword in hand, slashing toward the giant eye on Ye Lao's abdomen.

Lichen was a Seven Brilliance Weapon Spirit; as Chen Yu's strength increased, more of its power was unleashed.

Chen Yu's sword slashed down, a cold light flashed, and a lump the size of a basketball fell from Ye Lao's abdomen.

After this thing hit the ground, it suddenly grew larger. It had hands and feet, and apart from a giant eye on the front of its body, it had no other facial features.

As soon as this guy landed, it turned to run, but it stepped into the Suppression Evil Talisman Array that Chen Yu had already set up.

More than a dozen symbols of various sizes lit up one by one, the light carrying an extremely strong adhesive force, making it impossible for the guy to move an inch on the array.

It shrieked, countless tiny blood vessels bursting in its giant eye, its cry extremely ghastly.

Chen Yu ignored this thing and quickly stopped the bleeding for Ye Lao, stitching up the wound.

Because it was a wound caused by Lichen, it was extremely difficult to heal. Chen Yu used Talisman Water along with several precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for stopping bleeding and healing wounds to finally stop the blood.

"You two come over and help me treat Ye Lao's wound. This is medicine; as long as it bleeds, sprinkle it on the wound until Ye Lao's injury heals," Chen Yu barked at Wu Baozhen and the other.

Xu Guangyuan and Wu Baozhen hurriedly ran over. Wu Baozhen took the medicine from Chen Yu's hand, and only then did Chen Yu have time to deal with the Ghost Clan.

"A Fu, come out and see what this thing is." Chen Yu called out to A Fu in his consciousness.

Having clashed with the Ghost Clan several times, what he had seen before was just a burst of baleful energy, but this time it had a physical body, so it seemed its status was not simple. A Fu had heard of this thing before, so Chen Yu called A Fu out to take a look.

A Fu was currently cultivating and would only come out if Chen Yu actively summoned him.

With a flash of blue smoke, A Fu appeared in the room. He carefully avoided the Talisman Array on the ground and then circled around, looking at the Ghost Clan trapped in the array.

"It's the Ghost Clan. I've heard some Lao Gui mention them," A Fu said, stroking his chin. "It's just that this guy has a physical body, and it holds an official position within the Ghost Clan."

"No wonder. Attaching itself to a normal person, desperately absorbing nutrition and draining a person's essence and spirit—this guy is truly harmful," Chen Yu said. "Can you consume it as a supplement?"

"No, no, this guy is an ancestor among ghosts. I can't digest it. I'll go back to cultivating; you handle it yourself." A Fu shook his head, turned, and disappeared.
