Chapter 584: Acts of an Acquaintance
"My life is my own, and has nothing to do with her expectations." Zhong Nianyao continued, "I am an independent individual."
Baili Hengyuan had only simply sighed, but he hadn't expected Zhong Nianyao to give him such a serious explanation. For a moment, he wondered if what he had just said was really too much.
However, before he had time to think about it, Zhong Nianyao had already started to move. He swallowed back all the words that were in his throat. He didn't dare to make any sound, for fear of affecting Zhong Nianyao's movements.
Zhong Nianyao slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her golden pupils seemed to be radiating light. She lowered her eyes and looked at Baili Leyao lying on the bed. Then she reached out and placed her hand on Baili Leyao's forehead.
The last time, Zhong Nianyao had examined Baili Leyao's body. However, at that time, because she didn't know about the curse, she didn't focus on that aspect during the examination.
Now that she knew the details of what had happened, she naturally knew how to check it.
Baili Hengyuan looked at Zhong Nianyao's movements and felt a little confused because he only saw Zhong Nianyao's hand on Baili Leyao's forehead and then there was no movement.
He didn't know what kind of examination method Zhong Nianyao used, but he still chose to believe it. Zhong Nianyao was Baili Leyao's daughter, and she must have hoped that Baili Leyao would wake up soon.
"Huh?" Zhong Nian Yao frowned and couldn't help but utter a questioning sound.
Hearing Zhong Nianyao's "Huh?", Baili Hengyuan's heart immediately jumped. He wanted to ask something urgently, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was worried that he would disturb Zhong Nianyao and cause something to go wrong.
So he could only suppress all his anxiety.
After a while, Zhong Nianyao had withdrawn her hand. However, when she looked at Baili Leyao lying on the bed, a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.
"Nian Yao, what's wrong?" Baili Hengyuan couldn't hold it in any longer and stepped forward to ask, "How is your mother's health now? Can her curse be lifted?"
"There is no curse on her." Zhong Nian Yao shook her head.
"Impossible." Baili Hengyuan subconsciously refuted, "If it's not a curse, then why is she still unconscious?"
"There are many reasons for her coma. Why are you so sure it was caused by the curse?" Zhong Nianyao turned her head and looked at Baili Hengyuan. "Also, how did you determine that she was cursed and that this was why her body functions began to decline?"
Although the curse was a bit vague, she could still detect it. Baili Leyao had never had any traces of the curse on her body. Even if the curse had been lifted, there would definitely be traces left.
"How is this possible?" Baili Hengyuan's face was filled with shock. "Back then, we witnessed that man use his own life to cast the curse, and then Le Yao started having trouble. Everything that happened after that was just like that man's curse."
"Also, our family's witch doctor once examined Le Yao. Although there was clearly nothing wrong with her body, she continued to weaken. The witch doctor said that there was a strange force within Le Yao that was constantly draining her vitality."
Anyone who has established a fact for more than twenty years and then has someone suddenly disprove it would be shocked! Baili Hengyuan was just like that.
"If it's not a curse, then what is it?"
"I don't know yet." Zhong Nianyao shook her head. "That power is very strange. It is constantly absorbing the vitality of my mother, but it is tense and relaxed in moderation. When her vitality is too weak, the power will stop. After a few days, when her vitality is stronger, it will absorb her vitality again."
"That's like—"
"It treats Baili Leyao as a nourishment provider." Lu Yichen continued calmly, "To be more precise, it treats Baili Leyao as its own blood slave."
"Yeah." Zhong Nianyao nodded and continued, "That power is like a parasite on her body. Moreover, I suspect that power, or that thing, has already gained intelligence."
"What?" Baili Hengyuan couldn't believe his ears. "But how could there be something like this inside Le Yao's body?"
"If that thing is really that evil, it would definitely not be able to simply parasitize the human body." A sharp light flashed in Zhong Nianyao's eyes. "So, the reason why my mother has become like this now must be someone's doing."
"How is this possible?" Baili Hengyuan was very skeptical. "Although our Baili family can't be said to be as impenetrable as an iron barrel, it's not easy to sneak in. Besides, no outsiders have come here during that period of time."
"It was done by someone he knew." Lu Yichen's cold voice sounded, "Otherwise, Baili Leyao wouldn't have fallen for it so easily."
Zhong Nianyao on the side couldn't help but nodded, obviously agreeing with Lu Yichen's guess.
This is indeed the case.
The thing in Baili Leyao's body is too evil. If it can really enter the body so easily, then it would be too easy to harm people, and many people would be harmed.
Baili Hengyuan looked deeply shocked. He couldn't believe that the reason why his little daughter became like this was because of someone around her.
Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao ignored Baili Hengyuan and were discussing Baili Leyao's physical condition.
Regarding the blow Baili Hengyuan suffered, Zhong Nianyao felt that his psychological endurance was still a little fragile. Otherwise, how could he not accept such a fact?
"Yichen, you should take a look too!" Zhong Nianyao pointed at Baili Leyao on the bed, "I really can't figure out what this strange power is."
Lu Yichen nodded, then immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand, placed it on top of Baili Leyao, and then he stopped moving and just stood there quietly.
But in the blink of an eye, he had withdrawn his hand. Then he turned around and came to Zhong Nianyao again.
"Have you found out?" Zhong Nian Yao blinked and asked curiously.
"That's a medium." Lu Yichen said calmly, "Someone must have used this medium to absorb the power from Baili Leyao and then supplied it to another person."
