C95 Heart Devouring Curse

"Is Bai Jing back?" I asked Steward Bai as I entered.

"No, something must have happened to Mr. White. Every time he comes back recently, he doesn't feel too curious." The butler followed me with a sad tone.

"My mind isn't good. Perhaps I was too careless. Thank you for your reminder, I will pay attention." I know why the butler said that to me. He must have felt that I was being too cold to Bai Jing.

"Butler, please do what you need to do. I will go up myself." I thanked the butler behind me and went upstairs alone to Bai Jing's bedroom.

There was no sign of life in the room, and I could feel that his master had not been back for a long time. I scanned the room, running my hand over every object.

At this moment, my eyes fell onto a blue square towel in the trash can. I remembered that Bai Jing always carried it with him, so why did he throw it in the trash can? In the entire trash can, there was only one such square towel, and it looked very eye-catching.

I took a closer look and noticed that there seemed to be a stain of blood on the handkerchief. I quickly picked it up and held it in my hand. There really was a stain of blood on the cloth, and from the looks of it, it seemed that it hadn't been long.

My heart tightened. The blood on this handkerchief should be from Bai Jing. Thinking about how the butler told me that his mood wasn't very good recently, I pondered, could it be that something happened in the Underworld?

I hurriedly put away the handkerchief and took out the bell Bai Jing gave me. I shook it for a while, but after a long time, there was no response, causing me to panic in my heart. Bai Jing said that as long as I shook the bell, he would appear in the future.

I quickly opened up the space-time whirlpool that linked the Underworld and hurriedly entered it. He dashed towards the Duke of the Underworld's residence.

Arriving at the Emperor's Mansion, I was already familiar with the route and quickly found Bai Jing's room.

I immediately went to open the door, but what I did not expect was that not only was Bai Jing inside, Hei Baiwuchang and Zhou Qi were there as well, and there was an old man I did not know.

Bai Jing laid on the bed with a pale face. His eyes were closed, and he looked lifeless …

I rushed forward, but Zhou Qi stopped me, "The medical officer is in the midst of treatment, don't worry."

I coldly swept my eyes over them. "What happened? Why did he become like this?"

"Esteemed wangfei, don't blame us. It was His Highness who said not to let you know. His Highness only feared your worry." White Impermanence quickly spoke up.

"Princess, it's like this. A few days ago, there were some strange movements in the River of Forgetfulness. Many demons and monsters caused chaos in the Chen Family. His Highness was injured while trying to restore the seal on the River of Forgetfulness." Hei Wuchang respectfully replied me.

"But a few days ago, he was still full of energy and vitality." I looked at the pale face lying on the bed and couldn't believe it.

"Actually, His Highness has already been injured for several days, but he refused to rest and even went to the human world." Actually, His Highness has already been injured for several days, but he refused to rest and even went to the human world. Hei Wuchang still answered respectfully.

I felt a little uncomfortable. Why didn't I notice that there was something wrong with Bai Jing? Even the butler reminded me that Bai Jing's expression was abnormal, but I didn't think so. I somewhat hated myself. I felt that I was being too cold-blooded.

The medical examiner finished his treatment and stood up. Then, the group of us gathered around him.

"Your Highness' body is weak and needs to rest, so this injury is not a problem. It's just that because Your Highness used 100% of his power this time, the Gu poison within his body started acting up again." The medical officer sighed and asked to be moved.

"What Gu poison? What are you hiding from me? I don't understand a single word of it." I looked at the rest of the people's thunderous expressions and felt the seriousness of the situation.

"This is something that happened a long time ago. When the Your Highness Pluto entered the mortal world to experience tribulation, someone placed a Gu Heart Devouring Curse on him, but he didn't expect the Your Highness Pluto to recover his spirit energy and return to the Underworld. The Heart Devouring Curse also didn't disappear, but it still hasn't taken effect yet, we all thought that the poison would not break out again, and didn't expect it to be pulled out again.

"Is this Gu powerful? Aren't you ghosts and gods? There's nothing you can do about it." I looked at them in disbelief. I had always thought that ghosts and gods were immortal without injury, but I didn't expect them to be so weak as well. It's just that their lifespan was a little longer than humans.

"For the time being, I haven't found a way to cure it. This insect poison is the most ferocious of all Gu poisons. It can torture people to the point where they can't even live, they can't even die." When the Medical Officer mentioned the Heart Devouring Curse, his face was filled with fear and his body involuntarily swayed. It seemed that this Gu was very overbearing.

"Then what should we do?"

"I can only wait for His Highness to bear the pain himself, but this process is even worse than a thin slice of skin cutting into flesh."

I was stunned. Looking at Bai Jing's feeble aura, I panicked. I stood blankly on the spot, not knowing what to do.

"Esteemed wangfei, you accompany His Highness, we'll take our leave first," they all left, leaving me by myself in the room, petrified like a statue, unable to move for a long time.

My mind was filled with the words of the medical officer. Normally, when I cut off a little skin, it would hurt so much that I would grit my teeth, but Bai Jing's Gu poison was even more painful than Ling Chi's.

At this moment, the bed's Bai Jing suddenly moved. He stood up abruptly and spat out a mouthful of blood, which directly splattered on my shoes. Looking at the dark red ground, I was slightly frightened.

Bai Jing fell down right after spitting out blood. His head was hanging out of the bed, and it looked extremely uncomfortable.

I hurried over to straighten his body before helping him lie down. Bai Jing's brows were knitted tightly, and his delicate facial features were twisted in pain. Sweat covered his forehead, face, and neck.

I took a towel and wiped his forehead. Bai Jing kept squirming uneasily. As I wiped his hands, I was shocked.

At this moment, Bai Jing's fair hands were crawling with unknown worms. It was black and kicking everywhere.

I was so scared that the towel in my hand fell to the ground. My hands trembled as I straightened Bai Jing's sleeves.

I wasn't afraid, I was just heartbroken. With so many bugs in my body, it was no wonder the medical officer said that it was even more painful than Lingchi. At this moment, I could only hope that I could share some of the pain.

Bai Yi's eyes suddenly opened, I thought he had woken up, and happily went over to him. Only then did I notice that his eyes were blood-red, even his pupils were red. Bai Jing's eyes were waiting for me, and then, a hand clamped down on my neck.
