Mushroom Man

"Wonderful sound!"

The usually calm and collected Silver Dragon King was now completely panicked.

His eyes were filled with worry and urgency. He rushed forward to check on Ao Miaoyin, without even glancing at Huang'er, who had died tragically at his hands.

Now his mind is filled with his daughter, and he has no time to think about anything else.

Ao Miaoyin's face was pale and her breathing was extremely unstable.

This intense emotional fluctuation not only caused his chronic illness to relapse, but also triggered the hidden dangers left by the use of incomplete remedies that shortened his lifespan.

Under these circumstances, Ao Miaoyin's condition deteriorated rapidly; her heart pounded and her breathing became increasingly rapid.

At the same moment, the white hairs that she had wiped away started to grow back.

In less than three or five breaths, Ao Miaoyin's long, black, and smooth hair, which reached her waist, turned completely white.

And wrinkles began to appear on her once beautiful face at this time.

At first glance, someone who didn't know her might mistake Ao Miaoyin for an old woman over fifty.

However, the truth is that Ao Miaoyin is only in her early twenties, in the prime of her life.

Wu Liang watched all this in secret, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

Although he was the culprit behind all of this, witnessing firsthand how a kind-hearted girl who had been kind to him had been brought to such a miserable state by his own actions...

His remaining conscience still aches somewhat.

"Um……"

"This is a necessary sacrifice for me to reach higher levels in my life."

"I am a demon from beyond the realm, a wicked villain who is an enemy of the world."

"Everyone and everything in this world is irrelevant to me."

"I am not like them. What does it matter if I abandon unnecessary conscience as long as it helps me achieve my goal?"

For some reason, Wu Liang began to convince himself, even going so far as to activate the Cold-Blooded Mushroom.

Under the influence of the Cold-Blooded Mushroom, Wu Liang, who was initially moved, became increasingly cold-blooded.

Meanwhile, the Silver Dragon King finally got a clear picture of Ao Miaoyin's condition.

"how so?!"

Why is Miaoyin's chronic illness so severe this time?

"Not only was his lifespan severely shortened, but his health also completely collapsed."

"This could not possibly be the result of a relapse of a chronic illness."

"That silly child, Miaoyin, could it be that her chronic illness had already relapsed before, and she's just been hiding it from me all along..."

The Silver Dragon King gritted his teeth, already realizing what was happening.

He looked at Ao Miaoyin, who was unconscious and in great pain, feeling both worried and angry.

"You silly child!"

"If anything happens to you, how will I explain it to my brother Boya after I die?"

Upon hearing these words, Ao Miaoyin, who had fainted, felt her fingers tremble almost imperceptibly.

However, the Silver Dragon King, preoccupied with saving his daughter, paid no attention to these things.

Without a second thought, the Silver Dragon King took out the few remaining Dragon Blood Mushrooms.

With a thought, he placed a dragon blood mushroom into Ao Miaoyin's mouth.

The dragon blood mushroom melted in her mouth, turning into a warm current that flowed through Ao Miaoyin's limbs and bones.

"Humph……"

Ao Miaoyin couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

Dragon Blood Mushrooms have indeed provided unimaginable help to Ao Miaoyin's chronic illness.

Thanks to the effects of the Dragon Blood Mushroom, Ao Miaoyin, who had almost lost her life, recovered her complexion at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this rate, although it may not be possible to fully restore it to its original state, at least it will not be in mortal danger.

Seeing this, the Silver Dragon King breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But at this moment...

"Lonely Mushroom!"

Wu Liang remained indifferent and spoke softly. The next moment, the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom spun around.

A massive amount of accumulated true energy roared and surged into the Lonely Mushroom.

They squandered every drop of silver liquid as if it were free...

The Dragon Blood Mushroom that Ao Miaoyin consumed was the very same Dragon Blood Mushroom that he had planted with mushroom poison under the pretense of playing with it.

Now, Wu Liang activated the Lonely Mushroom, causing the long-hidden mushroom poison to erupt instantly!

"Ah...cough cough..."

Ao Miaoyin, who had been feeling better, suddenly showed a look of pain on her face.

She screamed and groaned in a coma, with blood seeping from her eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

Such a pitiful sight is enough to make anyone who sees it feel unbearable pain.

Stimulated by the mushroom poison, Ao Miaoyin's stubborn illness, which had been suppressed by the Dragon Blood Mushroom, returned with a vengeance, and even launched a more ferocious attack.

As the saying goes, good people don't get good rewards, but evil people live on for a thousand years.

The unprecedented pain caused this kind and gentle girl to involuntarily curl up into a ball.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing this, the Silver Dragon King's heart, which had just settled down, instantly jumped again.

what's the situation?
Why are dragon blood mushrooms ineffective?
Could it be that Miaoyin's chronic illness has become so severe that even a single Dragon Blood Mushroom is no longer able to suppress it?
Seeing his daughter in such pain, the Silver Dragon King disregarded his need for thrift and quickly took out the only two Dragon Blood Mushrooms he had left.

I thought that three dragon blood mushrooms would be enough to keep my daughter alive for three months or even longer.

The result was unexpected...

If we use up all the Dragon Blood Mushrooms now, how will we suppress my daughter's chronic illness in the future?
The Silver Dragon King's eyes were dim, but his hands moved quickly as he fed the Dragon Blood Mushroom to Ao Miaoyin.

"It's done..."

Upon witnessing this scene, Wu Liang's eyes gleamed with a deep, unsettling light.

He detonated the mushroom poison in order to deplete the Dragon Blood Mushroom in the Silver Dragon King's possession, thus forcing him and Ao Miaoyin into a dead end.

Now that the mission is accomplished, the next step is the second part of this great show.

Just then, the effects of the Cold-Blooded Mushroom wore off.

Wu Liang touched his chest, took a deep breath, and slowly closed his eyes.

Meanwhile, the situation on the Silver Dragon King's side remains far from optimistic.

Although the mushrooms Wu Liang planted contained very little poison, merely a trigger, the effect was far-reaching, making the chronic disease even more severe.

The Silver Dragon King fed all the Dragon Blood Mushrooms he had to Ao Miaoyin, but she still didn't wake up.

It merely prevents the chronic disease from worsening and temporarily suppresses it.

"Father... Huang'er... Young Master Wu..."

Even in her unconscious state, Ao Miaoyin was still murmuring in pain about the three people she cared about most.

It's unknown what kind of nightmare she had.

The Silver Dragon King saw this and felt deeply pained.

At this moment, the Dragon Blood Mushrooms were completely gone, consumed entirely.

Even though he was a fifth-level mushroom master and the former leader of the dragon people, he was helpless and powerless in the face of this situation.

"It's all my fault..."

"It was my oversight that caused Miaoyin so much suffering."

"I shouldn't have let you risk your life to come along, and I definitely shouldn't have brought you to the Dragon Palace..."

"I will take you back now. Don't worry, I will definitely find a cure for you."

The Silver Dragon King muttered to himself, talking to himself.

As he spoke, he picked up Ao Miaoyin, intending to take her back to the West Palace to recuperate and heal.

But just then...

The commotion caused here has already caught the attention of the Golden Dragon King, who is constantly patrolling the Dragon Palace.

As the Silver Dragon King withdrew day after day, the Golden Dragon King would instantly descend upon this place! (End of Chapter)
