Little Chirp saw the person coming and ran over happily, "Grandpa, what brings you here?"

Come and see our little chick!

"Hehe...Grandpa, let me introduce you to my savior." She said, pulling Zuo Qingya over to introduce her to her great-grandfather.

"Grandpa, this is Xiaoya. She's the one who saved me. I had a fight with my sister and ran away from home. I got caught and they even used me for research. That needle hurt so much, and they sucked my blood." She gestured to show how much blood she had.

"Really? That's quite dangerous. Will you dare to run away from home again next time?"

Little Chirp shook her head, "I won't dare again."

"If you know you don't dare, then there's still hope."

Ling Che looked Zuo Qingya up and down. "You're that human child with the ability?"

Abilities? They probably refer to those talismans!

"I guess so!"

"Um, could I take a look at the talisman?"

Zuo Qingya nodded, "Let me show you!"

Ling Che took the talisman from Zuo Qingya and examined it several times, but still couldn't figure it out.

"Is this something you just stick on?"

Zuo Qingya nodded, "You can just stick it on and use it."

"Okay, then I'll put it on and see if it works."

Zuo Qingya nodded, "Okay."

Ling Che nodded, and instead of sticking it on herself, she stuck it on Xiao Qiuqiu's body. Sure enough, as soon as she stuck it on Xiao Qiuqiu, it disappeared from the spot. When she peeled off the talisman, Xiao Qiuqiu reappeared.

Ling Che nodded. "It's really useful. How much do you want to sell it for?"

How many of these talisman papers are left?

I'll take as many as you have.

Zuo Qingya took out a stack of talismans from her small schoolbag and handed them to Ling Che, saying, "That's all I have. I don't have any more."

"I've never sold this before, so I'll give it to you as a gift."

"That won't do. We have to exchange it for something. We can't just take your things for free."

Zuo Qingya thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, let's exchange them then. If you want to exchange them, then go ahead and exchange them. Just bring over what you want to exchange. As long as you think it's worth it, I have no objections."

"Hmm... Take it out!"

"Yes, Grandpa Chief."

Before long, the table was filled with all sorts of treasures. Zuo Qingya's eyes lit up. These were truly wonderful things, all priceless items, including imperial green jadeite, and quite a lot of it.

This was very valuable before the disaster, but now? It should have depreciated in value. However, this thing might become valuable in the future, so you can keep it for now.

"Can I exchange these for the talismans you have?"

Zuo Qingya nodded: "Okay."

"Thank you so much."

"You're welcome."

"But Grandpa, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

Ling Che asked doubtfully, "Well, go ahead and ask!"

"Yeah, why do you look so much like us humans, except you have tattoos on your face, while the little chicks have flowery heads?"

Ling Che's gaze drifted into the distance. "This...it all started a hundred years ago."

"A hundred years ago?"

"Yes."

"Why from a hundred years ago?"

"Because at that time, the carnivorous flower elf clan was going through a life-or-death test, and it was from that time that the carnivorous flower elf clan's abilities gradually deteriorated."

"Why is my ability deteriorating?"

Ling Che sighed and slowly began to speak. "A hundred years ago, the carnivorous flower elf clan was the guardian of this forest. At that time, the carnivorous flower elf clan was also the fastest reproducing race among the elves."

That same year, a parasite appeared in the forest. Unaware and unaware, a small black worm parasitized our carnivorous flower spirit clan. Over time, these parasites weakened our immune system, leading to the outbreak and spread of diseases.

The long-term burden of disease has depleted the energy of us man-eating flower spirits, making it impossible for us to reproduce normally.

Then, as you can see, our abilities degenerated. Although we have no gender, our root system can reproduce, but now even that ability is gone. The number of newborns in our carnivorous flower fairy clan is dwindling; now, the smallest carnivorous flower fairy is just Little Chirp.

"Excuse me, grandpa, can I see what that parasite looks like?"

Lingche nodded without hesitation, "Of course." As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeve, revealing black dots covering her entire arm.

“Now my body is covered in these black spots, and these black spots are parasites.”

"Oh, is that so? May I touch it?"

Ling Che nodded, "Okay."

Zuo Qingya touched it and found that it was indeed an insect, because these black dots were visibly moving. Was it afraid of her? Without hesitation, Zuo Qingya took out a dagger and slashed at her great-grandfather's arm.

Everyone who saw this was startled and tried to control Zuo Qingya's behavior, but Ling Che stopped them.

Zuo Qingya placed her hand on Ling Che's arm and channeled her spiritual energy throughout Ling Che's body. Soon, black blood and small black worms slowly oozed from the cut on Ling Che's arm.

The black insects tried to escape, but Zuo Qingya burned them all with fire.

Zuo Qingya didn't remove all the insects from Ling Che's body at once; she only removed one-tenth. If she had expelled them all at once, Ling Che's body definitely wouldn't have been able to handle it.

Seeing this, Ling Che breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her wound. "What is this?"

Upon seeing what it was, Lingche exclaimed excitedly, "Is this a bug? This is the first time I've ever seen someone expel bugs from our bodies!"

Ling Che excitedly grabbed Zuo Qingya's arm, "You must save us, please, you must save us, because so far only you can expel the worms from our bodies. These worms have been in our bodies for too long, and if no one else can expel them, our lineage will be wiped out."

Little Chiu Chiu stepped forward and grabbed Zuo Qingya's hand: "Xiaoya, can you help us? We need your help. If you can get rid of all the parasites on our bodies, my life is yours."

Zuo Qingya shook her head.

Little Chiu Chiu thought Zuo Qingya was unwilling and panicked, "Waaah... Xiaoya, you have to save us!"

Zuo Qingya shook her head: "Okay, little chirp."

Before anyone could react, Zuo Qingya had agreed. They only remembered her shaking her head while they were still pleading. Zuo Qingya was very patient and said again, "Okay."

Slowly, they realized what Zuo Qingya had said, and tears streamed down their faces as they exclaimed, "Thank you, you are our great benefactor!"

"You're welcome!"

"Xiaoya, you already agreed, so why did you shake your head just now?"

"Huh??? I'm shaking my head because I don't need your life!"

"Oh, I see! You scared me to death! I thought you didn't want to!"
