Chapter 904 - 702: Sky City (Part 2)
The man’s brows relaxed, and the corners of his tightly pressed lips seemed to curve slightly.
Shen Tang kissed his nose, cheeks, and lips again, then wrapped her arms around his waist, leaning into Xue Yinzhou’s embrace and closing her eyes.
So good.
Don’t be afraid, my little White Snake.
She was determined to heal him.
Thinking this way, the drowsiness she felt earlier dissipated.
Shen Tang was filled with thoughts on how to heal him quickly and couldn’t sleep at all.
She wanted to go into the Space to look through the ancient texts, but her body was tightly wrapped by a snake tail, unable to move. So she had to instruct the servants outside to bring some ancient books from the study room.
The servants dared not look much, placing the books on the table and quickly retreating.
Ooh...
The Lady and her newfound love are indeed very affectionate, sharing a bed and entwined together.
Clan Leader, forgive me! I didn’t see anything, I didn’t see anything!
...
The sound of pages turning echoed occasionally in the room.
Xue Yinzhou woke up in a daze in the middle of the night, discovering that the lamp by the bed was still on. Shen Tang hadn’t slept, engrossed in reading the book.
He glanced out the window; it was already dawn.
Reaching out to pull the book from her hand, his voice still husky from sleep, "Why aren’t you sleeping yet?"
Shen Tang hurriedly grabbed the book back, saying, "I can’t, I can’t sleep without finding a solution."
Xue Yinzhou was stunned for a moment, his heart ached more, and he asked gently, "Am I that important?"
Shen Tang answered without hesitation, "You’re someone I can’t lose!"
Xue Yinzhou’s pupils slightly trembled. He knew she was good to him, but hearing his beloved say it so firmly still caused ripples in his heart.
His cold, barren soul lacked such deep affection. Even though she had said it many times, he always felt it wasn’t enough, never enough, eternally unsatisfied.
He longed to hear her affirm again and again, saying she loved him, telling him how important he was.
His heart was heavy with love and emotion, but seeing her so exhausted made him ache, even feeling a bit guilty.
Not only could he not help, but he also became her burden, causing her such fatigue.
"Tangtang, actually I..." Xue Yinzhou faltered, but in the end, didn’t finish his sentence.
He had another way to deal with the Tumor Gu.
If he continued to cultivate the Devouring Power, he could directly consume the Tumor Gu within.
However, doing so would cause him to lose his emotions, turning him indifferent and ruthless, possibly reverting to the "Xue Yansi" he once was.
He would become a stranger, cold and emotionless, unable to have her anymore, possibly causing her to despise and leave him.
Shen Tang didn’t know Xue Yinzhou’s inner struggles, she simply comforted in a soft voice, "Don’t worry, I will definitely heal you, we will both be fine."
Not long after, Shen Tang finally found a method to treat Xue Yinzhou.
The Tumor Gu parasitic within him was a special creation of the Creation Clan, temporarily referred to as a "Seed Pouch."
The Parasite Clan had a unique ability to nurture their own seeds, parasitizing other hosts to achieve parasitism and assimilation.
The Tumor Gu was a special and precious seed, requiring a talented member of the Parasite Clan to expend immense energy and time, condensing their blood power, nurtured over years within the body, appearing like a tiny tumor.
It not only contained the innate superpower of the Parasite Clan but also possessed hallucinogenic toxins, capable of confusing people’s minds, completing full parasitism and turning the target into a hollow puppet.
This is the Tumor Gu.
Compared to ordinary seeds, the Tumor Gu can parasitize stronger hosts, its illusion technique more potent, causing the host’s mental confusion while perfectly retaining the host’s original superpower, achieving complete parasitism.
Things that give rise to each other are always accompanied by mutual restraint.
There is only one way to remove the Tumor Gu, find the roots of the Mother Tree, or obtain its precious sap, Tree Heart Marrow Liquid.
Shen Tang stumbled upon this phrase in an ancient text about the Parasite Clan. She then spent much effort researching records on the "Mother Tree."
It is said that the Mother Tree is an ancient giant tree in the Holy Land of the Parasite Clan, the source of the entire race’s birth, and the collective ancestor of all Parasite Clan people, hence revered as the Mother Tree.
The Mother Tree is the origin of their life and the return place after death, containing the most mysterious power of life and death of this race.
The roots of the Mother Tree and the Tree Heart Marrow Liquid possess the purest life essence and parasitic laws. This power, sharing the same origin with the Tumor Gu’s power within Xue Yinzhou, yet at a higher level, can completely suppress the Tumor Gu.
Xue Yinzhou is now almost symbiotic with the Tumor Gu, unable to be directly separated or destroyed, otherwise the main body will suffer irreversible damage. The only way is to use the power of the Mother Tree.
