"Sir, why are you so fierce..."
The demon insect elders felt extremely aggrieved. They shook their tails, twisted their waists, and stood a little further away.
Seeing them obeying, Prince Rui felt very relieved. He said, "Let me ask you, how can you tell if the blood curse on you has been lifted?"
One of the Demonic Insect Elders said, "This is simple. If your appetite has increased recently and you enjoy eating green vegetables, then that's the solution."
Prince Rui was puzzled, "Why?"
"The blood curse will damage your body. If your appetite increases, it means your body is recovering."
"If someone who's cursed drinks blood, their body will reject meat after the curse is lifted, so they'll start liking vegetables."
Prince Rui: “…”
Does that sound reasonable?
Besides, he seemed to be really hungry...
"Is there any food?" asked Prince Rui.
"Yes, yes, we'll make it for you right away!" The demon insects surrounded Prince Rui and came to the depths of the forest, where they presented him with a sumptuous vegetable feast.
Prince Rui ate a lot. After finishing, he closed his eyes lazily and said, "I'm sleepy."
The demon insects retreated quietly, and before leaving, they did not forget to cover Prince Rui with a quilt.
The Demon Insect Tribe likes to "entertain" humans, so a human residence was specially built in the forest. The house was furnished with a soft big bed and all kinds of furniture. Prince Rui slept for a night and felt refreshed when he woke up. He felt that the magic blood curse on his body should have been lifted. To be on the safe side, Prince Rui stayed in the forest for a few more days. He found that the magic blood curse had not occurred, so he prepared to set off back to the Kingdom of Da Rui.
"Sir, please come often in the future~"
The demon insects were reluctant to leave.
Prince Rui said, "If I have the chance in the future, I will bring my son here to play."
Then he added: "This time I will leave you three more drops of blood."
"Yes, sir!"
"Sir, you are so kind!"
The demon insects looked at each other with admiration and gratitude.
Prince Rui waved his hand, walked out of the forest, and left the demon world along the same path he came from.
He thought back on his journey, vaguely sensing something was amiss. But upon closer reflection, everything seemed normal. The Demon Realm was vast, and he'd only been operating on its fringes, so he hadn't encountered much danger. As for why the monsters he'd encountered were all so friendly...wasn't that as it should be? They were so weak, they should have been cozying up to him.
In addition, the dishes made by the Demon Insect Tribe are really nostalgic. They are just ordinary green vegetables, but they are cooked so deliciously.
Prince Rui swallowed his saliva and suddenly felt a little greedy. For some reason, he looked at the leaves on the roadside and his appetite suddenly came up.
Prince Rui picked a lot of leaves, washed them, and ate them with gusto. He began to believe that he had broken the magic blood curse, otherwise why would he suddenly start to like eating this kind of thing?
The only thing that puzzled Prince Rui was that his spiritual power had been depleted very quickly recently. After waking up from a sleep, he felt full of energy, but he felt that his spiritual power was depleted. If spiritual power was compared to a stream of water, then he had a full cup of water before going to bed, but after waking up, he felt that only half a cup of water was left. Where did the other half cup of water go?
"No, something must be wrong..."
Prince Rui's face was solemn. His spiritual power wouldn't be consumed for no reason. Could it be...
Could it be that those bugs fed him something unclean?
Prince Rui bought a carriage and arrived at an unfamiliar small country before dark. In the capital of this small country, there was a shop called "The Eternal Life Magician". Perhaps it was Prince Rui's good luck, because this shop not only sold various elixirs, but also had a spiritual doctor in charge.
"Your stomach is full of worm eggs!"
After taking Prince Rui's pulse, the spiritual doctor was shocked. "Are you an evil cultivator? Are you raising insects in your stomach?"
"Insect eggs?" Prince Rui was stunned, but he soon understood where the insect eggs came from. He clenched his fists, with anger flashing in his eyes. He didn't expect that the group of insects would dare to tamper with the food!
"I'm not an evil cultivator. I was harmed by someone. This bug... Ugh!"
Doctor Ling said in panic, "Don't vomit. You can only vomit out the leftover food, not the worms. I'll get you some anthelmintic."
The more Prince Rui thought about it, the more disgusted he felt. He wished he could return to the demon world and burn down the forest. No wonder those insects were so enthusiastic. It turned out that they were using his body to raise their young eggs!
"Damn it... Ugh! Damn it!" Prince Rui has been living on leaves recently. Even though he vomited for a long time, he didn't spit out anything. His eyes were red and his eyes were wide open. He thought he was very vigilant, but he didn't expect that he was not vigilant enough. It seems that he should bring his own dry food and water when going out in the future, and not eat food given by strangers... strange insects!
"Here, the anti-worm medicine is here." Doctor Ling quickly took out a pill and brought a basin to Prince Rui.
"vomit……"
Along with the sound of vomiting, countless green insect eggs were spit into the basin. The growth and development of these insect eggs were different. Some insect eggs were very small, smaller than millet grains, some insect eggs had developed into the size of walnuts, and some insect eggs had already broken open. A green insect was twisting its body happily, trying to crawl out of the pile of insect eggs.
Prince Rui was about to collapse when he saw so many insect eggs. He clasped his hands together and cast a spell, ready to kill all the insect eggs.
Doctor Ling quickly took the basin away, because many insects can be used as medicine. By helping Prince Rui get rid of the insects, he can not only get medical fees, but also get many medicinal insects, which is equivalent to doubling his money. These insect eggs are wealth and cannot be destroyed.
"What are you doing!" Prince Rui looked fierce.
The spirit doctor said, "They are causing you suffering. Killing them is too cheap. I can turn them into insect wax and let them die in pain."
"Okay, very good, we must make them suffer." Prince Rui's mood stabilized a little, but his eyes were still frighteningly red, like a ferocious beast that would choose its prey.
Doctor Ling felt Prince Rui's pulse again and said, "Most of the eggs have been expelled, but..."
"But what?"
"Lie down first. My pulse isn't accurate enough." Doctor Ling placed his palm against Prince Rui's abdomen and frowned. "It seems there's still an egg that hasn't been expelled..."
Prince Rui said, "Then I will continue to vomit."
Doctor Ling shook his head. "You can't spit it out. The remaining insect egg is very stubborn. Anti-worm medicine won't work."
There are two types of anthelmintics from the Eternal Miracle Hand. One type has a milder effect, and the worms will be expelled after taking it. The other type is for Prince Rui to take, and it works immediately, causing the worms to be vomited out. Doctor Ling felt that the worms that were excreted were difficult to collect, so he used the second type of anthelmintic on his own initiative. Doctor Ling could feel that these worm eggs were carrying demonic energy, and the last worm egg left in Prince Rui's stomach had a particularly strong demonic energy.
