Chapter 366: 366: Mother Bowl Devours Master (During Myriad Updates)
"Pft..." Yan Hao suddenly spits out a mouthful of blood, soaking half his chest.
Ying Feng, Lu Buding, and Zue Youqi, who were each holding a girl singing and drinking merrily, were taken aback.
Especially Zue Youqi, who almost went weak at the knees: "Hao... Hao Bro, what’s wrong with you?"
"Could it be poisoning?" Lu Buding’s face turned a bit pale, "Call 110, where’s my phone?"
Ying Feng stopped him.
"It’s nothing, you guys keep playing, Feng, come over and help me," Yan Hao said.
"But Hao Bro, what if something happens to you..." Zue Youqi didn’t say it, but if something really happened to Hao Bro, they couldn’t bear the responsibility.
"Stop the nonsense, you all continue to have fun!" Ying Feng’s voice was a bit stern.
Lu Buding and Zue Youqi shrank their necks and didn’t dare to speak anymore, watching as Ying Feng helped Yan Hao out.
"Should we... continue playing?" Lu Buding asked Zue Youqi.
"Nonsense, if we don’t keep playing, what do we do? Do you want to share Hao Bro’s fate?" Turning his head, Zue Youqi unhappily yelled at the women in the room, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and drink and dance, pretend you didn’t see or hear anything just now, understood?"
The women, who were scared stiff, pulled each other back up and started singing and dancing again. However, compared to the previously cheerful and lively atmosphere, things now seemed a bit stiff.
After a short while, Lu Buding’s phone received a message from Zue Youqi. He looked up confusedly and saw Zue Youqi next to him indicating to check his phone.
[Do you think Hao Bro is poisoned?]
How would he know? Lu Buding replied: [No idea.]
[I don’t think so, otherwise why is it only Hao Bro having issues while the rest of us are fine? Anyway, I’m not touching anything in the private room, and neither should you, in case you end up like Hao Bro.]
Lu Buding: [Probably not, or why would Hao Bro leave us here?] Surely, Hao Bro didn’t plan to poison them.
Zue Youqi: [To confuse the enemy? Wealthy second and third generations like us are easy kidnap targets, aren’t we?]
Lu Buding: [Do you have to be so dumb? Have you been kidnapped before? Have you seen people kidnapping rich second generations daily?]
Zue Youqi: [I was just using a metaphor, like on TV.]
Lu Buding: [...] How did he become friends with this kind of person?
Zue Youqi: [Hao Bro didn’t say how long we’d stay here, so how long do we have to stay?]
Lu Buding: [No idea.]
Zue Youqi: [Why don’t you know anything?]
Lu Buding: [What should I know? A person survives longer knowing nothing, don’t you know that? Moron!]
...
And what is Yan Hao, whom they’re worried about, doing? After leaving the grand entrance of the Hao Emperor KTV, Ying Feng takes him to a dark, unnoticed corner, pulls out a Magic Artifact, recites a Spell, and a golden light envelops them both, disappearing from the spot.
They reappear in a luxurious yet understated villa. Yan Hao finally ceases to endure and slumps pale onto a sofa, groaning in pain.
"Hao Bro, what’s wrong?" Now, Ying Feng asks with a face full of nervousness.
He thought it was just a minor issue, but seeing Yan Hao in such pain made him realize—the situation might be serious.
"Li Qiqi’s Gu has been dispelled..."
The words instantly let Ying Feng understand the reality, and he quickly said, "You got backlashed by the Mother Bowl? What should we do?"
"Blood... there’s blood in the refrigerator!"
Ying Feng quickly retrieved it, a transparent glass bottle full of bright red liquid, sealed with a Talisman Paper for freshness.
Ying Feng also took a cup, filled more than half of it, and handed it to Yan Hao, "Hao Bro, it’s ready, take a sip!"
Yan Hao grabbed it quickly to drink, but as soon as it entered his mouth, he spat it out again: "It’s no use!"
"Then, Hao Bro, what should we do? Should you use the Expelling Gu Spell?"
"I tried, but it’s useless!" Yan Hao gritted his teeth. From the first moment he sensed the Sub Gu being dispelled, he tried, but it was pointless.
That’s why he spat blood in front of Lu Buding and Zue Youqi.
"What about the Elixirs? I remember Master giving a lot, hold on..." Ying Feng ran back to his room, dug around, and brought a bunch to the coffee table in the living room, "Which bottle?"
In his haste, a few glass bottles were knocked over, including "Qi Nourishing Pill", "Replenishing Essence Pill", "Healing Pill", everything was there.
"Hao Bro, there’s one for pain relief, do you want some?"
"Give it to me!"
Without waiting for Ying Feng to hand it over, Yan Hao grabbed it and stuffed several pills into his mouth.
Seeing this, Ying Feng felt a little heartbroken. Although he had a lot of Elixirs, these weren’t your common pills, each one was traded for by completing tasks.
"Hao Bro, pace yourself!"
"What for? I’ll get someone to replenish you later," Yan Hao poured all the Elixirs from the small bottle into his hand and consumed them.
Now, he finally seemed to feel much better, handing the empty bottle back to Ying Feng.
Ying Feng felt a little pained. It’s easy to say, but there’s no telling when he’ll actually get them replenished.
Sigh... if it weren’t for this being Yan Hao, he wouldn’t have brought them out; these are his treasures.
Seeing his complexion improved and the pained groans lessen, Ying Feng started packing things up. After all, a Mother Bowl backlash isn’t lethal right away, and there’s nothing else he can do, so it’s best to figure it out later.
"What are you doing?" Yan Hao glanced at him.
"Packing up!" Ying Feng said as a matter of course.
Yan Hao got a little flustered: "I’m in this condition, and you’re worried about your Elixirs? Ying Feng, do you have brain damage?"
Ying Feng got upset: "If I had brain damage, would I be saving you? Do you really think my Elixirs are free? I got them by risking my life completing missions. I’m not like some people who receive things without doing anything."
"Haven’t I given you plenty over time?"
"You did, but you always took them back," Ying Feng said, displeased. Last time, when he finally got his hands on the reportedly precious Beauty Pill, he didn’t even use it.
But when Yan Hao just placed a Sub Gu on Li Qiqi, he complained she looked pale as if drained, and forcefully took his "Beauty Pill" for her.
It’s infuriating!
It’s just a Furnace, after all, didn’t Yan Hao eventually drain her? Why bother with supplements? What’s the point?
This guy, although he seems dashing and charming on the outside, is actually just a lecher, always wanting to get closer to pretty women and then finding them ugly once he had them, a complete eyesore.
"Are you still hung up on that?" Yan Hao was a bit speechless, "Didn’t I give you so many other Elixirs afterwards?"
"You said ’other’, but other Elixirs aren’t the same as a Beauty Pill, are they? It’s completely different."
"What do you mean different? They’re all Elixirs, consumed in the end. I really don’t understand you, making a collection out of a simple Elixir, do you have brain damage? What cultivator doesn’t consume Elixirs immediately? Who, like you, treats them as collectibles? Of all things to collect, why Elixirs? Are you waiting for someone to rob you? If I weren’t protecting you, you’d have been cleaned out long ago..."
