Chapter 106: Verbal Virtuosity Level Five!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Huo Buyu glanced towards the passenger seat and became even angrier! Why was she pretending to be sick at a time like this?
“Stop pretending. I won’t forgive you easily this time.” After saying that, Huo Buyu ignored Ye Yao. However, after waiting for a minute, Ye Yao remained still. At this point, Huo Buyu also noticed her flushed face. He quickly brought the car to a halt and touched Ye Yao’s face. Immediately, he retracted his hand! It was so hot! It felt like it was burning!
Huo Buyu had such a fright that he forgot his anger. The only thing on his mind was to send Ye Yao to the hospital as soon as possible! Because her body temperature was too high, he headed straight to the emergency room as soon as he got to the hospital!
Two hours later, the doctor came out and informed Huo Buyu that Ye Yao’s fever was abnormally high and that she needed to be kept under close observation till it subsided. He asked what had happened and what could have caused the patient to be running such a high fever.
Huo Buyu had no idea what went wrong. She was obviously fine right before the sudden onset of the high fever… This made Huo Buyu wonder if Ye Yao had secretly cursed him again. However, as soon as this thought appeared, he rejected it. Ye Yao was very smart. At most, she would joke about her period. She wouldn’t cast such a serious spell on herself. She was one who took care of her own body.
The man was flustered. All he wanted now was for Ye Yao to wake up quickly. Looking at Ye Yao lying quietly on the hospital bed, he felt that it was better for her to be more lively. Even if she kept causing trouble for him, it was better than her lying down in silence, like now.
Of course, if Huo Buyu could see the Verbal Virtuosity manual, he would know that Ye Yao had now reached the fifth level of the Verbal Virtuosity technique: Backlash.
Ye Yao’s head was dizzy and she could not even lift her fingers. She had a dream that her Verbal Virtuosity skill had reached level five and there was a
backlash.
The so-called “backlash” would take place when she proactively attacked others and caused greater damage to their reputation, finances, and other aspects. Verbal Virtuosity would punish her. The intention of Verbal Virtuosity was for self defense and to help others, not to hurt others. If the latter were the case, she did not deserve having this capability.
Ye Yao had originally thought of embarrassing Jiang Yun, but she did not expect things to turn out this way. There was another factor at play, and it was the fact that Jiang Yun was inherently bad. Hence while Ye Yao only wanted to tease her, the outcome was worse than intended, and the consequence more serious. On the other hand, Ye Yao took the initiative to attack. Unfortunately, there were many concert attendees and the hex caused huge financial losses. Hence the girl had to bear the price of the retribution.
Ye Yao felt as if her entire body was burning, like she had encountered a fire. Then, when she could not take the heat anymore, her body suddenly turned icy cold. It was as if she had gone from extremely hot weather to extremely cold weather all of a sudden. There was no in-between transition!
This time, because it was Ye Yao who took the initiative to attack Jiang Yun, which resulted in serious consequences, she had no escape and had to pay the price.
Ye Yao only woke up in a daze after being unconscious for an entire day. As soon as she moved, Huo Buyu helped her up and brought a cup of warm water to her lips.
Before she could speak, she grabbed the cup and drank all the water in it. Then, she opened her eyes weakly.
Huo Buyu had dark circles under his eyes. He hadn’t slept the entire night and had been watching over the girl. When he saw Ye Yao opening her eyes, he quickly said, “Quick, tell me that you’re healthy and kicking.”
Ye Yao was amused by his behavior. Then, she shook her head with a bitter smile. “It’s useless. I’m suffering a backlash from the Verbal Virtuosity ability.
I’m not really sick.”
Huo Buyu asked, “Backlash?” He didn’t quite understand. Of course, this wasn’t important now. He picked up the porridge on the side table. “I didn’t know when you’d be awake. I got someone to cook porridge and store it in a thermos flask. Have a bite to replenish your strength first.”
Ye Yao took Huo Buyu’s hand and ate a few mouthfuls of porridge, feeling that she had finally come back to life. Then, she explained to Huo Buyu what the backlash meant. “Because of my words, I caused serious losses to Jiang Yun and the concert that was stopped midway, so I was punished by Verbal Virtuosity.
This is the backlash.”
Huo Buyu was a little surprised after hearing this.
Ye Yao added, “Verbal Virtuosity is not a tool for me to hurt others, so there will be a penalty restriction for the user.”
Huo Buyu didn’t know what to say for a moment. He secretly felt that this was good. It could prevent Ye Yao from mouthing unnecessary words casually. However, when he saw that she was so weak from the punishment, his heart ached and he’d really rather not have any punishment restrictions..
