“It’S nothing. This is a process that every team leader of the Red Demon Sect will go through in the future. It’s to prevent anyone from becoming

disobedient.”

Su Ying snapped her fingers after she finished speaking.

Those people’s bodies shuddered once, and a wave of pain quickly spread from their necks to their whole bodies. The pain made them tremble all over, and their faces became contorted with anguish.

Mo Tu’s expression changed slightly, and the way he looked at Su Ying changed. He didn’t understand her a lot more than he had realized.

Su Ying walked to Mo Tu’s side. “Do you want it?”

Mo Tu looked at all those people whose faces had become grossly twisted with pain and shook his head. He didn’t want it!

Su Ying smiled and put away her stuff. “Mo Tu, I hope you won’t let me down and betray my trust in you.”

Mo Tu nodded. “Have they been poisoned?”

“That’s a lot worse than being poisoned.” Su Ying snapped her fingers again,

and the pain of those people gradually faded.

After enduring one round of torture, the way these people looked at Su Ying changed totally.

“We’re all working together for the first time, so I believe all of you don’t fully trust me. I, too, don’t trust you lot either. So I’ve placed my sect master’s mark on your bodies. Don’t worry. As long as all of you obey my orders, you won’t experience this pain a second time. But if anyone doesn’t know what is good for himself, then he can’t blame me for not showing him courtesy.

This kind of pain was definitely more terrifying than any kind of cruel torture. Those people all knelt on the ground to profess their loyalty. “Don’t worry, Sect Master. We will definitely work hard for Sect Master. We will never dare to

betray Sect Master.”

After Su Ying gave some simple instructions, she dismissed those people. Only Su Ying and Mo Tu were left in the huge cave. “I will leave Duo City tomorrow.

I’ll leave the matters here to you.”

“Sect Master, you trust me so much.”

Su Ying tilted her head slightly to look at him as she answered, “Of course.

After all, you are infected with the Heart Devouring Bug. If you don’t take my medicine, you won’t live for more than a year.”

Myriad emotions flashed across Mo Tu’s eyes. He clenched his two fists tightly in his sleeves. “I really don’t believe that the mother of a kingdom has such abilities. How did you know about these things?”

Su Ying reached out and flipped his hand over. She pried open his fist to reveal his palm. On his slightly red palm, there was a red line extending from his thumb to the wrist crease below his pinky, and this line was spreading in the direction of his heart.

“After being infected by the Heart Devouring Bug, a faint red line will appear on the fleshy part of your thumb. As the bug devours internally, the red line on your hand will become increasingly deeper. When the red line spreads to your heart, your heart will explode and you will die. This is the reason your hair turned white overnight, isn’t it?”

As Mo Tu watched Su Ying, he slowly closed his palm in an attempt to grip her hand, but Su Ying evaded his attempt.

“Hahahaha! Sect Master, when did you find out?”

On the ship, Su Ying had accidentally seen the red line on his palm. At that time, she had thought that she was mistaken, but later on, she realized that it was indeed a red line that was extending from the inside out and became revealed.

The external characteristics displayed by the human body were closely related to the internal changes, so she found an opportunity to perform an extensive examination of his body. Mo Tu did not know about this.

When she checked his heart, she found something abnormal. It was only later that she confirmed that it was a symptom of the Heart Devouring Bug.

“Tell me how much you are hated by people. This Heart Devouring Bug must have been in your body for at least ten years before it can display such a long red line. Don’t be fooled by the fact that it takes a long time to show up. Once the red line appears, the countdown on your life will begin. It can spread at an unimaginable speed. You are aware that this thing exists, or else you wouldn’t be carrying a musk fragrance sachet to control its development. The Heart Devouring Bug hates the smell of musk the most.”

Although the fragrance sachet could not make the Heart Devouring Bug disappear completely, it could curb its development to a certain extent. However, using this thing too much would harm the body. Moreover, after the bug grew immune to this smell, the sachet would lose its effect.

-Even when you had amnesia, you still wore the sachet, which proves that this bug is an obsession to you. Let me guess. This thing was given to you by your most beloved younger brother.”

With every word Su Ying said, Mo Tu’s face became paler, and his cherry-red lips gradually lost their color.

“You actually know about it…” His alluring seductive eyes gradually turned red-rimmed as if he was suppressing a great pain. Suddenly, a dull pain burst out from his heart. He clutched his chest and frowned deeply.

Upon seeing this, Su Ying quickly pressed his mouth open and stuffed a pill into it. “Don’t court death. This type of bug hates wild emotional fluctuations the most. If you don’t want to meet the King of Hades ahead of schedule, calm down.”

Tears rolled down his cheeks as he half-knelt on the ground. His voice was practically squeezed out of his throat. “When I picked him up, he was still a child. He followed me around all day like a puppy, calling me ‘Big Brother, Big

Brother1…”

It was also because of this endless calls of “Big Brother” that melted his cold and hard heart!

However, it had never crossed his mind that on the day he picked the child up, that child actually implanted this bug in him!

The bitter medicine melted in his mouth, but Mo Tu felt that this bitterness was not even half as intense as his heartache!

Su Ying went around to his back and tapped a few acupoints on his shoulder blades with her fingertips, forcing him to relax to reduce the burden on his heart.

“A traitor is not worth your pining.”

Mo Tu gave a laugh of misery. “That’s because you haven’t experienced that kind of pain. How can you know my pain?”

Su Ying’s fingers paused, and she withdrew her hand without any emotion. She gave a laugh of derision. She had never experienced it before?

The year when she was old enough to understand things, she already knew what betrayal was, what killing was, and that being soft-hearted meant death! At the very beginning, she would be sad, angry, and unable to comprehend. Nonetheless, in the end, she understood that all emotions would lose out to the most honest human nature.

Therefore, she became a cold-blooded and ruthless weapon that killed everything that was not beneficial to her. It was only when she came to this world and met Ling and the rest that her personality slowly softened a little. “No one has the obligation to understand your pain. Baring your wounds in front of others will only expose your weakness. Mo Tu, I trust you. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

Su Ying patted his shoulder and placed a black porcelain bottle in his hand. “The Heart Devouring Bug is very cunning. If it discovers that there is a drug attacking it, it will cleverly avoid it. If it awakens from hibernation, it will make the host die together with it. The sedative drug I gave you contains a drug that can kill it. At the same time that the drug immobilizes the bug, it will also kill it. This is the present I am giving you after I choose to trust you.”

As the medicine spread out from the tip of his tongue, the dull pain in Mo Tu’s heart gradually dissipated.

Mo Tu gripped the bottle of medicine in his hand tightly and knelt down on one knee in front of Su Ying again.

“Mo Tu is willing to serve you, Sect Master.”

“That’s the right attitude, young man. Only by staying alive can there be unlimited hope..”
