Cang Yuze turned his head toward the door for a moment, then looked back at Yue Yue with deep longing in his eyes.
"Yue, you should follow Han Soi and Xing Luoye back. Take the cubs with you. I will be back. It will pass in a moment."
He leaned forward and gave her a quick but deep kiss on the lips. Yue Yue stiffened for a second, her heart beating fast. When he pulled back, he looked at her with such strong longing that she felt frozen.
Then Cang Yuze turned and started walking toward the door. His back looked determined, but Yue Yue’s eyes suddenly widened. As he moved, she noticed something on the back of his neck.
It was like a small insect with countless thin strands clinging tightly to his neck. The sight was strange and disturbing. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Her eyes widened even more and she whispered in shock, "Yuze... Yuze..."
Yue Yue could not stay silent any longer. As Cang Yuze started walking toward the door, she shouted behind his back, her voice full of panic.
"Zeze! Wait!"
Cang Yuze immediately stopped and looked back at her. His face showed confusion mixed with worry. "What happened, Yue Yue?"
Yue Yue was too stunned to speak at first. She just stood there, eyes wide, and pointed at his neck with a trembling finger.
"There... there is something on your neck."
Cang Yuze frowned and reached up to touch the back of his neck. He rubbed the area carefully but found nothing. "There is nothing, Yue. See?"
His words shocked her even more.
How could there be nothing?
She could clearly see the insect. It was a small, disgusting thing with countless thin strands, crawling slowly over his neck. It was right under his palm just a moment ago. How could he not notice it? How could he not feel it?
At this moment, Cang Yuze was already a SSS rank beastman. Even the slightest movement should have alerted him. But the insect stayed there quietly, and he could not sense it at all.
Yue Yue turned quickly to Han Soi and Xing Luoye. Her voice shook as she asked, "Can’t you see it? There is something on Yuze’s neck!"
Han Soi and Xing Luoye furrowed their brows. They both looked carefully at Cang Yuze’s neck, then back at her. "There is nothing, Yue Yue," Han Soi said calmly. "He is perfectly fine."
Xing Luoye nodded in agreement. "Yes, we don’t see anything."
Yue Yue’s eyes widened in disbelief. She quickly handed all three cubs...the two griffin cubs and Xiao Bai back to Xing Luoye. Then she walked straight toward Cang Yuze. He did not move.
Instead, he lowered himself a little so she could see his neck more clearly.
Yue Yue was really stunned. How could they not notice it? The insect was really there, plain as day to her eyes. She reached out and tried to touch it.
The moment her fingers got close, the insect reacted. It quickly retracted and crawled to the other side of his neck, like it was running away from her touch.
But just moments ago, when Cang Yuze had touched his own neck, it had not moved at all. It was as if the creature knew he would not discover it.
Yue Yue’s heart beat faster. "What is this thing?"
She wondered why only she could see it. Why couldn’t the others notice it?
Suddenly, her eyes flared with realization.
Was it some kind of residue from the polluted zone? Was it a parasite that had latched onto Cang Yuze, but the others could not even see it?
Then her eyes sparkled with determination. After all, she had purification energy. She could purify all kinds of pollution.
Without wasting another second, her hand began to glow with soft green energy.
The moment the green light touched Cang Yuze’s neck, he felt a sharp pain. He instinctively tried to touch the back of his neck again, but Yue Yue quickly caught his hand.
"Don’t touch it," she said firmly. "Let me."
The black parasite felt the purification energy and panicked.
Before it could be fully purified, it immediately tried to run away. It knew that if it stayed there any longer, it would be killed mercilessly. It did not want to die.
In a flash, the parasite jumped away from Cang Yuze’s neck.
The moment it left his body, it suddenly became visible to everyone.
Han Soi, Cang Yuze, and Xing Luoye’s eyes turned horrified as a filthy insect appeared out of nowhere, jumping from Cang Yuze’s body.
Cang Yuze’s eyes widened in shock. Without thinking, he immediately stomped on the insect with his foot.
The creature was flattened against the floor with a sickening sound.
Everyone looked at it carefully, thinking it was really dead this time.
But suddenly, the insect twitched once again. It started trying to crawl away slowly, its countless strands moving weakly.
Just what the hell is this?
Even Cang Yuze, Han Soi, and Xing Luoye looked stunned. They had never seen anything like this before.
"What is this?" Cang Yuze muttered, his voice low and tense.
He tried to blast it away with his powerful energy.
A strong wave of force hit the insect, sending it rolling across the floor. But after the attack, the creature was still alive. It kept twitching, refusing to die.
Just what the fuck is this thing?
Cang Yuze’s eyes were wide with worry and concern. He had never noticed this parasite on his own neck.
How had it attached itself without him feeling anything? As a triple S rank beastman, he should have sensed even the smallest threat.
Xing Luoye held the cubs protectively, his face serious. "This thing... it was hiding on you. Only Yue Yue could see it."
Han Soi stepped closer, his expression dark. "It reacted to Yue’s purification energy but stayed hidden from us. This is not a normal polluted creature."
Yue Yue stared at the twitching insect on the floor, her green energy still glowing faintly on her hand. Her heart was racing.
She had only wanted to help Cang Yuze, but now everyone could see how dangerous this thing was.
The small parasite kept moving, even after being stomped and blasted. Its countless thin strands wriggled as it tried to escape.
