Chapter 775 - Losing His Mind
Chapter 775 – Losing His Mind
"Anyways, as long as he didn't cultivate a demon core and he isn't dead, do whatever you can to keep him safe. Now that he's proven himself to be valuable, we cannot let him die. Use that treasure even if you have to." The Lord continued to speak.
"W-What?! You want to waste that precious treasure on him?!" The Manager was shocked.
"If it can keep him alive, yes. He's too precious for this world to die."
"B-B-But—"
"No buts! You may return to the Qi Family now."
"I understand…" The Manager sighed before going to Yuan's home to pick up Meixiu.
However, there was an additional person there.
"What's this? I only got permission for one person, not two." The Manager said as she glared at Chu Liuxiang, who decided to follow along after hearing about the situation.
"I am not going to stay here while Yuan is suffering! I am going to follow you even if it's the last thing I do!" Chu Liuxiang said stubbornly.
And she continued, "And my Master is from the Qi Family! They wouldn't refuse me!"
"Whatever. Just get in the car." The Manager said to them.
Once they were all in the car, the Manager began speeding down the mountain like she did with Yuan, but it wasn't as fast.
However, unlike Yuan, neither Chu Liuxiang or Meixiu said a word regarding her speed, and they would only ask her about Yuan's condition.
"Like I already said on the phone, I don't know what happened to him. If you want to know, you'll have to ask him after he wakes up."
Once they arrived at the airport, the Manager told the two of them to press the red button and watch the plane before going off to sleep, leaving them speechless.
Meanwhile, Qi Fang was ordered by her family to stay with Yuan until he wakes up.
"What?! Why do I have to babysit him all night?! I am not his nanny! Why are you guys treating me like this? Did I do something wrong?!"
"That's a great question. Did you do something wrong?" Qi Huan narrowed her eyes at Qi Fang.
Qi Man then said, "Although we don't know what happened between the two of you, whether you are in the right or wrong, you need to put all of that behind you. Yuan is a valuable friend that we cannot afford to offend. If you offended him in any way, apologize to him when he wakes up."
Qi Fang gritted her teeth, but she couldn't blame her grandparents for their decision, as she was mostly responsible for what happened on that day.
"I understand…" Qi Fang sighed.
"Good, then we'll leave Yuan in your hands." They left her alone with Yuan afterward.
Once her family left, Qi Fang went to one of the drawers and pulled out a tall bottle of alcohol and sat down at the table.
"How could they treat their most talented demon sealer like a babysitter? Damn it!" Qi Fang began chugging down the alcohol and complained after every swallow.
"Why am I being punished when they don't even know what happened?!"
"It's almost like they wanted someone to blame for his current situation!"
"I can't believe this!"
"Damn it all!"
While Qi Fang was chugging down her alcohol, Yuan was somewhere deep within his consciousness.
"Although I have managed to control and convert most of the chaotic energy inside your body, there is still some left, and while it won't kill you, you should still remove them as soon as possible, as it could not only affect your cultivation but also your mind." The Divine Paragon appeared inside Yuan's head to warn him.
"How do I do that?"
"Fortunately for you, who has the Heaven Refining Physique, you can just cultivate normally and push out the remaining chaotic energy with fresh spiritual energy. If it was anybody else, they would need a new technique and a lot of treasures." The Divine Paragon smiled.
"How long do I have before it starts affecting me?" Yuan then asked.
"This is your first time experiencing such a thing, so the backlash will be quick and fierce. You can expect a reaction as soon as you wake up."
"I-It's that bad?" Yuan swallowed nervously.
"What will happen to me?"
"Who knows. You'll probably lose your mind every once in a while, become quick to lose your tempers, and other nasty nature that demons have, almost like you'd turned into a demon yourself."
Yuan was terrified when he heard such words.
"I-I am going to turn into a demon?! Does this mean I will crave human meat or kill humans?! I hope to god that doesn't happen!"
"Although that's possible, it won't happen with the amount of chaotic energy inside your body. However, it would be a good idea to limit your contact with others for the time being."
"Okay… I will have to delay the lecturers until I fix this situation…" Yuan sighed.
While Yuan slept peacefully, Qi Fang approached him with a drunk look on her face, still with a bottle of alcohol in her hands.
"You stupid little brat— Hic! This is all your fault… Hic!"
Once she was standing right beside the bed, Qi Fang would stare at Yuan's sleeping face in silence.
"Now that I look at you closely… Hic! You're quite handsome…"
"What you did today was also very handsome and admirable… Hic!"
"When I watched you fight the demon, my heart was beating like crazy, almost like I was having a heart attack… I have never felt anything like that before…"
After a moment of silence, Qi Fang suddenly lowered her face towards Yuan's sleeping face, kissing him on the lips.
She removed her lips a moment later and muttered in a low voice, "How can you sleep so soundly with a beauty like me in the same room? Hic!"
"Hey… Wake up and fight me… I'm going to avenge myself… Hic!"
Qi Fang began to slap Yuan's face lightly for a response.
"…"
When Yuan didn't respond, Qi Fang turned around and began walking away.
"How boring… Hic!"
After walking two steps, Qi Fang suddenly stopped walking when she felt someone grab her hand.
She turned around to see Yuan sitting up on his bed, and his eyes were open, but he didn't seem conscious.
However, Qi Fang was too drunk to notice that and continued to probe him.
"Hehe, so you wanna fight—"
Yuan suddenly yanked Qi Fang onto the bed.
"Hey! What are you doing? That hurts!" Qi Fang complained as she laid on the bed with Yuan.
She also felt a little wet for some reason, so she looked down, and to her surprise, the bottle of alcohol in her hands had spilled all over her body.
"Look at what you've done… Hic! Now I have to clean myself…"
Qi Fang began loosening the wet areas on her clothes, and when Yuan saw that, almost as though something had ignited inside him, he suddenly pounced on top of her and ripped her loosened clothes right off her body.
"…"
Qi Fang stared at Yuan's face with a dazed expression.
"You… have very beautiful eyes…" She muttered in a low voice, not sounding a bit concerned about being naked nor the situation they were in, even placing her hands on his cheeks and caressing them.
When she noticed Yuan staring at her bare chest, Qi Fang smiled and said, "Go ahead, you can touch them. It's your reward for dealing with the demon."
Despite his weird state, it was almost as though Yuan had been waiting for Qi Fang's approval, so when he got her approval, he immediately buried his face into her chest like a child embracing their mother.
