Chapter 13: Mental Illness

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There was an immortal herb at the edge of the cliff that could help the gods and demons recover their spiritual power. However, due to the lack of nourishment from the rain, it had not matured for a long time. Today, it had matured completely.

Bai Yihe had come for this immortal herb this time.

He had checked Qu Yao’s pulse. Although the God and Demon Sword had acknowledged her as the master, when she had broken through the gate of the demon realm and massacred the Qu family, her heart had been damaged. So, her spiritual power was unstable. This immortal herb could help her recover her body.

…

Qu Yao strolled around Tongcheng for a few days and finally found out some information in a tavern.

In the third year after Qu Yao was sent to the demon world, her sister had married her fiancé. However, she was killed by the water ghost of Honghu Lake within two years.

Qu Yao was also very familiar with this water ghost. It was the water ghost that her sister had met when she had tricked her into falling into the water.

At that time, she had wanted to save her sister, and had almost been dragged into the water and eaten by the water ghost. Fortunately, she had relied on the sudden appearance of a snake tail to carry her sister out of the lake, but she herself had fainted from fright.

Later on, the water ghost would come out to kill people every once in a while. The government had invited many immortals to eliminate the water ghost, but they had all failed.

That water ghost was very cunning. It was unknown where it had learned the forbidden technique, but it could actually suck away a person’s spiritual energy. As long as the spiritual energy was sucked away by the water ghost, that person would slowly die because of physical weakness.

Fortunately, Bai Yihe came to Tongcheng later. He saved a lot of people who had their spiritual energy sucked away by the water ghost.

She had never expected that the water ghost, which was originally used by her sister, would actually take her sister’s life in the end.

After coming out of the tavern, she had been wandering in her mind. Her mind was a mess, and she was walking as if she was hysterical. Suddenly, she heard a noise.

“Get out of the way! Get out of the way!”

A group of people surrounded a trolley and rushed out from behind her. Qu Yao thought to herself, I have never let anyone pass me in my life, why should I get out of the way?

A man in shabby clothes lay on the trolley. His clothes were not only tattered, but his entire body was covered in mud. He was on the verge of death and being pushed by a group of people

“Get out of the way!” The person who pushed the trolley shouted at Qu Yao who was right in front of him.

“F*ck!” Qu Yao teleported to the side of the road. “Bai Yihe?!”

She quickly caught up with him and pulled one of her followers and asked, “What happened?”

That person looked flustered. “Bai Yihe fell off the cliff! Fortunately, someone found him, or else…” That person stopped what he was saying and sighed heavily. Then, he continued to chase in a hurry.

The entrance of the clinic was already filled with people. Qu Yao squeezed in with great difficulty.

Bai Yihe did not appear in the lobby. The other people in the clinic helplessly advised the people at the entrance to disperse, but these people did not listen to a word. They insisted on waiting for Bai Yihe to come out peacefully.

Qu Yao was annoyed by the noise and kicked the door. “You’re so noisy! Get lost!”

She rubbed her ears, “Where’s Bai Yihe?”

A doctor from the clinic answered, “He was sent to the backyard by An Er. He’s being treated now.”

The backyard was in a mess. Five or six people carried Bai Yihe to the bed, scrubbed his wounds, gave him acupuncture, and gave him medicine. There were also a few girls who were cleaning the yard and crying.

Qu Yao frowned and pulled the one who was crying the most. “Dead? Where’s the mourning?”

The girl stopped crying and angrily rebuked, “How can you talk like that? ! Sir took you in, how can you say such things!”

“You’re crazy. Why are you crying if he’s not dead?”

“You’re the one who’s crazy, your whole family is crazy…”
