Qiao He was extremely anxious. She didn't know the situation with her mother-in-law, so she could only catch up with her as soon as possible so that Lin Qiao would have any hope of survival.
Qiao Li kept pointing in the direction for Bo Shiwu. He could smell Qiao Si's scent, but he couldn't smell his mother-in-law's scent at all.
Things were getting increasingly out of control, and Qiao Li felt extremely uneasy. He even had a feeling that his mother-in-law might already be...
Not here anymore.
This wasn't just Qiao Li's wild guess; it seemed that his sense of smell only worked on living things. Once the other party died, their unique scent would disappear.
Qiao Li didn't tell Qiao He this news. He was also very worried about his mother-in-law and Qiao Si, but they couldn't panic before finding Qiao Si.
The wind whistled past my ears.
Joss's eyes turned extremely cold. He could see Lin Qiao's figure, so thin, yet she had once gently stroked his head.
Mother-in-law cannot be taken away by that mutated plant!
Joss exerted all his strength and finally caught up with Lin Qiao.
But at this moment, Lin Qiao no longer resembled a human being. Her entire body was covered in tiny yellow-green "vines," which looked like fragile plants, yet they were firmly parasitizing Lin Qiao's body.
The old woman's eyes were closed, and her chest barely rose or fell; it was impossible to tell whether she was still alive.
Joss gritted his teeth and shouted, "Monster! Let go of my mother-in-law!"
The yellowish-green plant couldn't speak; it just kept expanding its vines, which had now completely enveloped Lin Qiao, making it seem like she could hardly breathe.
Suddenly, Joss rushed over and with one claw, he smashed a large patch of plants covering Lin Qiao.
"Grandma! Grandma, wake up! It's me, Joss!" Tears welled up in Joss's cat-like eyes. He knew he shouldn't cry right now, but he just couldn't control himself.
However, at this moment, Lin Qiao, who had been silent all along, suddenly opened her yellow-green eyes.
Her eyes turned icy cold, as if she had completely lost her senses.
He stared coldly at Joss, like a robot.
Joss's heart skipped a beat, his throat went dry, and he couldn't speak.
Lin Qiao's mouth opened and closed, making strange sounds: "Joss, get out."
Joss's cat-like eyes trembled violently, and his voice turned desperate: "Grandma—! What are you? Stop controlling her!"
The dodder seemed unconcerned about Joss's feelings and his current anger; it simply continued coldly, "Get out!"
"If you catch up again, you will die."
It was clearly my mother-in-law's voice, but it sounded so strange, like two completely different things.
Joss took a step back, growling angrily, "Let her go! I'll fight you to the death!"
Joss clearly had no superpowers, but at this moment he unleashed his greatest strength and rushed over to fight the dodder on Lin Qiao's body.
The dodder controlled Lin Qiao's arms and body, then suddenly retaliated against Qiao Si.
The man and the cat started fighting.
Ultimately, Joss was at a disadvantage because he was worried that his claws might hurt Lin Qiao.
The mother-in-law is now completely under the control of the dodder. If Qiao Si were to use ruthless methods, Lin Qiao would definitely suffer serious injuries, which would only make matters worse, as she was already injured.
At this moment, Joss was at a loss for what to do.
Just as he was pacing anxiously, Qiao He's voice suddenly came from behind him: "As! We're here!"
"Mother-in-law? How...did you become like this?" Qiao He's voice trembled as she spoke.
She thought she might be dreaming. Why did things turn out this way?
When Lin Qiao left the apartment that morning, she was smiling at her, then she draped a coat over Qiao He's shoulders and softly called her A He, "It's cold outside, wear this coat and be careful not to catch a cold."
She's already a superhuman; a minor illness like a cold is simply impossible for her.
But Lin Qiao still cared about her, fearing that one day she might actually get sick.
So Qiao He took the coat with her.
She rarely felt the love of her family, but Lin Qiao's love for her was no less than anyone else's.
In Qiao He's eyes, even though Lin Qiao has no blood relation to her, she will always be her mother-in-law.
They're even closer than blood relatives.
Qiao He's eyes reddened, and her chest was filled with anger and heartache.
Qiao He didn't say a word, then suddenly appeared in front of Lin Qiao, and then used the fire-type ability she got from Chen Meng to burn all the dense dodder!
She controlled the flames with great precision, ensuring that Lin Qiao's body would not be harmed.
Even so, some of her skin was still burned.
Qiao He's heart ached, but she said softly, "It doesn't hurt, Grandma... I'll take you to see Huahua, just bear with it... it'll be alright in a little while."
Forced into a corner, the dodder could only perch on Lin Qiao's head.
This is an extremely vulnerable place, and it would be extremely difficult for Qiao He to burn away the dodder with flames.
But at that moment, Bo Shiwu, with an extremely gloomy expression, used his telekinetic ability to forcefully pull away that large clump of unsightly dodder!
This thing originally parasitized plants, but through evolution, it has become able to directly parasitize the human body.
That's really scary.
The dodder seemed to sense its impending doom; it desperately clung to Lin Qiao's temples, as if trying to force its way in. Once inside, they would be powerless against it.
But the dodder still miscalculated; it underestimated the supernatural abilities of Thin Mist.
The current Thin Mist is no longer the Thin Mist of the past. The dodder has no way to resist the power of the Thin Mist, it is simply too powerful.
The dodder struggled desperately, and then, with its last bit of strength, it controlled Lin Qiao and said, "Qiao He, hehe... You didn't expect this, did you? The family you most wanted to protect."
"I still managed to kill him."
Qiao He's face froze. She stared intently at the writhing dodder, as if it were a snake about to die.
Dodder continued, using Lin Qiao's voice, "Can't guess who I am?"
"Sister, have you forgotten me? Hahaha..."
The next second, *splat*—
The dodder detached completely from Lin Qiao's body, and then, like a horsehair worm detached from its host, struggled on the ground for a while before finally losing all sound.
Qiao He instinctively rushed over and hugged Lin Qiao.
But when she touched Lin Qiao's body, Qiao He froze on the spot, almost stopping her thinking.
A chilling coldness.
The stench of blood assaulted Qiao He's nostrils like a madman.
Lin Qiao's body was covered by dodder, so no one noticed that her clothes were blood red.
Only after the dodder died did Qiao He realize that Lin Qiao had almost bled out.
