Chapter 20: Blood Priest
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At first, Su Mo thought that Wang Linglan’s illness had been successfully cured.
But soon, he realized that the situation was completely different from what he had imagined.
This was because a more detailed prompt appeared in his vision.
[Item: A pitiful person who is about to become a sacrifice]
[Prompt: She has encountered a blood priest three days ago who planted his origin blood in her body. Under the effect of the origin blood, she will be transformed into a blood puppet after seven days and thus become the key material for the other party’s advancement ritual.]
[Note 1: The origin blood is strongly contaminated and can be easily regarded as a curse.]
[Note 2: After the origin blood is removed, the blood will return to its normal color.]
[Note 3: with the help of the origin blood, you may be able to sense the position of the blood priest.]
Seeing Wang Linglan who looked no different from a normal person, Su Mo wondered if there was a problem with the game interface.
Then, he suddenly remembered that he had a skill that seemed very suitable for this situation.
He immediately cast the eye of truth.
A faint silver color appeared in his pupils, and Wang Linglan, who was in his arms, started to change shape.
From a girl as delicate as porcelain, she had turned into a human-shaped liquid blob formed from blood.
It was indescribably terrifying and frightening.
Su Mo took a while to get used to it, and he quickly found that the blood was not quite the same as normal people’s such that it was a demonic purple.
It was obvious that the so-called origin blood had not completely dissipated after the girl was treated by Xue Qiaoqiao and the others.
Instead, it fused with Wang Linglan’s blood and became one.
Su Mo slightly frowned.
He looked at Xue Qiaoqiao, who was talking and laughing with Wang Pengju not far away and decided to tell the truth.
“Sister Qiaoqiao, there’s a question I’d like to ask you,” Su Mo said as he put Wang Linglan down and stood up.
Xue Qiaoqiao said in surprise, “What is it?”
Su Mo said shyly, “It’s a private matter. It might not be appropriate to talk about it here.”
Hearing these words, the gazes of the people on Su Mo changed.
Wang Pengju patted his shoulder and said, “Listen to an uncle like me, it’s better for young people to be more moderate.”
Then, he walked past her to see Wang Linglan.
Wu Linfeng came over with a smile and said in a low voice, “Brother, I have erection medicine here. One point per bottle. It’s better than the small blue pills on the market. Do you want a bottle? ”
Su Mo’s mouth twitched, “What kind of person do you think I am?”
“You’re still not satisfied? Well, I have even higher-grade erection medicine with more overbearing effects. Five points a bottle, and I guarantee that you’ll want to use it again after you’ve used it. ”
Su Mo expressionlessly walked outside.
Xue Qiaoqiao’s face was slightly red as she followed behind.
After reaching the stairs, Su Mo turned around.
Xue Qiaoqiao took a step back in shock and paused for a moment. She said in embarrassment, “I-it’s my first time healing someone for this sickness. I didn’t plan to do it but seeing that we’re teammates, I’ll make an exception today.”
As she spoke, her face began to turn red again, and she didn’t know where to put her hands. She had completely lost her previous calm and composed style.
Looking at her delicate and helpless appearance, if it was at any other time, Su Mo might have teased her.
However, since it was a matter of life and death, Su Mo did not delay and said seriously, “Sister Qiaoqiao, that girl’s illness hasn’t been cured.”
“That girl, which girl?” Xue Qiaoqiao was confused for a moment, but she quickly reacted. Her eyes widened as she said, “You mean Wang Linglan?”
Su Mo’s expression was serious as he nodded, “I have a skill that allows me to check the condition of the human body. Just now, I noticed that her blood is abnormal. It’s obvious that the illness has not been cured.”
“But the curse has clearly been removed.”
“What if this disease is not a curse?”
“What else could a dark mage have cast if not a curse?”
“What if it wasn’t a dark mage, but some other evil class?”
Xue Qiaoqiao’s expression suddenly froze, and her small red mouth opened slightly.
Indeed, no one had ever said that the Transcendent Wang Linglan had met was a dark mage.
In fact, she knew a few other professions that could create curses.
Everything was based on her preconceived notions, and she had fallen into her inherent cognition.
After understanding this, Xue Qiaoqiao patted her chest and said with lingering fear, “It was the right decision to bring you here today. If the young lady wasn’t fully cured, my reputation would be completely ruined.”
She looked at Su Mo and said with a serious expression, “No matter what the final result is, I’ll give you half of the consultation fee later.”
Su Mo hurriedly refused, “Sister Qiaoqiao, there’s no need for that. I’m just giving you a suggestion.”
Xue Qiaoqiao interrupted, “This suggestion is more valuable than you think. In our line of work, it’s easy to ruin our reputation, but it’s very difficult to build it again. Don’t tell me my reputation is not worth a few hundred points?”
Su Mo was speechless.
They returned to the princess room.
Xue Qiaoqiao looked at Wang Pengju, who was sitting by the bed with a loving expression, and said in a crisp voice, “President Wang, your daughter’s illness might not have been cured yet.”
Upon hearing that, Sun Lie and Wu Linfeng were instantly shocked.
Wang Pengju was also confused, “Doesn’t she look like she’s back to normal?”
“But she hasn’t woken up yet, has she?”
Wang Pengju regained his rationality from his joy.
Indeed, he had only looked for others to treat his daughter in the first place to wake her up.
Although her condition seemed to have stabilized, if she did not wake up, it would not be considered a cure.
Sun Lie and Wu Linfeng both turned their gazes to Su Mo.
As people in the industry, they naturally knew the reason for Xue Qiaoqiao’s change in attitude.
Su Mo had definitely discovered something special.
They didn’t expect a sword saint to be so well-versed in medical treatment. They had truly misjudged him.
“Then I’ll leave the rest to you,” Wang Pengju bowed slightly and took the initiative to move aside.
Xue Qiaoqiao said, “Next, I might have to cut her finger to find out the cause of the illness. Of course, after that, I will heal her wound. I will tell you this first.”
If this is useful for treating Linglan’s condition, then, then please do it,” Wang Pengju turned his head away with a pained expression.
Xue Qiaoqiao didn’t hesitate any longer. A small knife of light appeared in her hand and she gently wiped it against Wang Linglan’s left pinky.
Immediately, a bloody gash appeared on her fingertip. Blood flowed out, glowing with a demonic purple light.
Sun Lie and Wu Linfeng could not help but exclaim.
“Why is it purple?”
“What kind of illness is she suffering from?!”
When Wang Pengju saw his daughter’s blood, his face also turned pale. He was puzzled, “How did this happen?”
Xue Qiaoqiao didn’t say anything. Her oval face was solemn, and her eyes became sharp and piercing, like a warrior about to charge.
Her life force began to surge and rise, gradually transforming into a pure white snake above her head.
The snake opened its mouth and swallowed Wang Linglan whole.
Seeing this, Wang Pengju’s first reaction was to step forward and stop the process.
However, Su Mo stretched out his hand to stop him.
At the side, Wu Linfeng helped to explain, “Don’t worry, President Wang. Miss Xue is currently treating your daughter. That’s her famous skill, disaster-devouring snake. If even this skill can’t cure your daughter, I’m afraid you’ll have to hire a level 4 big shot.”
Wang Pengju’s expression changed slightly, but he finally stopped.
At this time, the pure white snake’s abdomen squirmed and slowly opened its mouth, spitting Wang Linglan out.
For every inch Wang Linglan was spat out, the white snake’s body would be dyed with a touch of purple.
By the time Wang Linglan was spat out, the white snake had turned into a purple snake, exuding a demonic and evil aura.
“Collect!” At Xue Qiaoqiao’s command, the huge purple snake quickly shrank until it finally turned into a drop of purple blood, suspended in her palm.
Seeing that Xue Qiaoqiao was about to purify it, Su Mo quickly said, “I still have a use for this drop of blood. Sister Qiaoqiao, please help me keep it for now.”
Xue Qiaoqiao took out a pocket-sized Jade bottle, put away the purple lifeblood, and threw it to Su Mo, “Take it.”
Then, she went to check on Wang Linglan’s wound.
After making sure that the blood had turned bright red, she healed the wound and snapped her fingers.
With that, Wang Linglan’s fan-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her charming eyes, “I, where am I?”
“Linglan!” Wang Pengju rushed forward and held her hand, crying tears of joy.
After the father and daughter had a chat and calmed down, Su Mo asked Wang Linglan curiously, “You must have met someone before you fell sick, right?”
When Wang Linglan saw his handsome appearance, her delicate face blushed slightly. She asked curiously, “How did you know?”
“The heaven’s secrets can not be revealed,” Su Mo said pretentiously, “Do you remember what that person looked like? ”
Wang Linglan pursed her lips and tried hard to recall, “I was shopping with my best friend that day and happened to meet a guy in the mall. He gave me a very bad feeling. Even though I avoided him at once, I became drowsy as soon as I got home. Speaking of the man’s appearance, he looked to be in his 30S. He was wearing a black sports suit and a sports cap. His eyes were vicious like he wanted to eat people. Oh right, there were three connected moles on his neck, and the mole in the middle is blue. It was strange.”
Xue Qiaoqiao’s expression suddenly changed, “Are you sure he has three moles on his neck, and the one in the middle is blue?”
Wang Linglan nodded and said, “I have a good memory. I can’t be wrong.”
Xue Qiaoqiao’s expression immediately turned ugly, “A vampire!”
