Chapter 310: Chapter 244 Hard to Imagine

The woman felt the other person’s hand caressing her face, her body trembled slightly, then she heard his words brimming with anger and was struck dumb.@@novelbin@@

“A woman of peak beauty, you… you’re talking about me??” The woman couldn’t believe it, said with a slight tremble in her voice.

“Of course.” Liu Wentian laughed gently, his smile very tender. The suffering this woman had endured was unimaginable to the average person.

“You… you don’t think I’m horrible??” she asked again, tears welling in her eyes.

She didn’t understand why she was asking such a question. She was so horrific that she couldn’t even bear to look at herself in the mirror, yet she still asked others.

Liu Wentian shook his head, “Not horrible.”

“Really??”

“Really, I don’t like to repeat myself too much, beautiful lady, you’re very chatty!!” Liu Wentian’s words seemed somewhat impatient, but his face was still smiling.

Beautiful lady??

Since her disfigurement, this was the first time a man had called her that!!

She looked at Liu Wentian, there was truly no hint of disgust in his eyes, rather, there was pity!!

She deeply etched his face into her mind, feeling an inexplicable urge to cry.

The others at the scene were somewhat dumbfounded upon hearing Liu Wentian’s words.

This woman looked so terrifying, yet he could still call her a beauty!!

Elder Gu realized something, said excitedly, “Young man, do you understand why Xiao Huan has turned into this?”

Liu Wentian nodded, “I do indeed understand, but this is also the first time I’ve seen someone poisoned like this in person; I had only heard of it before but never seen it.”

“Poison?? Xiao Huan was poisoned?? But she has been thoroughly examined in the hospital, and her body showed no abnormalities. I took her pulse but also found nothing wrong!” Elder Gu said, astonished.

Liu Wentian said, “This poison is very difficult to detect. It doesn’t affect the body’s functions. It could be called a poison, but in ancient times, the ancients called it a curse, the curse of an evil ghost!”

“The curse of an evil ghost??”

“Exactly, the curse of an evil ghost. This poison is actually the ground-up corpse of a creature named ‘Corpse Worm’, rarely seen in the world. According to records, it could possibly be found in ancient battlefields, tombs of emperors with countless sacrificial burials, or large graveyards. Its body is red and transparent, like Crimson Fire.”

As Liu Wentian spoke, many people were already getting goosebumps—’Corpse Worm’, ancient battlefields, imperial tombs, large graveyards—that all sounded incredibly eerie!!

Seeing the expressions on everyone’s faces, Liu Wentian guessed what they were thinking and nodded to affirm.

“You’re not wrong. The ‘Corpse Worm’ is terrifyingly named for a reason, indeed related to corpses. It emerges from human cadavers and feeds on human flesh and blood!!”

Ignoring the fearful change in the crowd’s expressions, Liu Wentian continued, saying,

“By grinding the ‘Corpse Worm’ into a powder and having a woman ingest it, that woman’s complexion turns bright red, like an evil ghost. The more beautiful the woman originally was, the more terrifying and frightening she becomes!!”

Upon hearing this, the crowd gasped in shock, especially the women, who turned pale with fright.

This thing was malevolently evil!!

At the same time, they finally understood why Liu Wentian had previously said this woman was of extreme beauty!!

If the poison made the most beautiful women the ugliest, wouldn’t that imply that this woman, now as hideous as a fierce ghost, was once as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal??

Thinking this, everyone started to feel sympathy for the woman.

Upon hearing Liu Wentian’s words, Elder Gu was overjoyed. Regardless, he finally understood why his granddaughter had been transformed into this state and eagerly said, “Liu Wentian, then can you cure Xiao Huan’s face??”

“I can’t.” Liu Wentian shook his head.

Suddenly, Elder Gu’s smile stiffened.

But the woman laughed, “Grandfather, it’s okay, I’ve actually grown accustomed to this face and this kind of life. Even if it can’t be restored, it’s fine.” Her speech was remarkably open-minded, but her voice was low, clearly also feeling dejected.

Liu Wentian smiled and said, “I cannot cure it, but I know what could be used to treat it.”

In an instant, Elder Gu beamed with happiness and said eagerly, “Quick, what can cure Xiao Huan’s face? As long as you tell me, I will spare no effort to obtain it!!”

Elder Wang also nodded, saying, “Yes, Liu the miracle doctor, whatever you need, just say it. The resources of the Wang Family are quite good, and there’s very little we can’t find.”

The woman’s face also showed hope as she looked at Liu Wentian with a tense anticipation.

“Netherworld Flower.” Liu Wentian stated calmly.

But his words left everyone stunned.

Netherworld Flower, wasn’t that the flower from legends said to bloom on Netherworld Road, guiding the spirits of the dead??

Such a mythical thing couldn’t possibly exist, so how could it be obtained!!

Seeing the expressions of the people present, as if they believed he was fooling them, Liu Wentian laughed and said,

“The Netherworld Flower I’m speaking of is not the mythical entity from legends, but a real plant that exists. Its appearance is somewhat different from the legendary descriptions. The Netherworld Flower has many similarities to the ‘Corpse Worm’: It also appears in places with a lot of corpses, feeds on human flesh and blood as its nutrients, and is similarly extremely toxic. However, it can counteract poison with poison, as the Netherworld Flower’s particular toxin can exactly neutralize the ‘Corpse Worm’s poison!!”

Eagerly, Elder Gu nodded, “Then tell me what the Netherworld Flower looks like and its characteristics, and I will start searching for it immediately!!”
