Chapter 141 Is There or Not

Ye Ming was kicked away by the fox girl Zhu Ling. She crashed into the passage behind her and lay on her back after bouncing wildly in another passage covered with gravel.

"Am I...defeated?"

The girl, lying in a spread-eagle position and looking up at the ceiling, felt her consciousness really starting to blur.

"——Losing in a place like this?"

She murmured in her heart.

In an instant, consciousness completely darkened.

Next, the vast darkness that expanded from all directions gradually seized her consciousness.

……

I don’t know how long it took, but Ye Ming woke up again.

"call……"

She exhaled softly.

I felt pretty bad, and my face seemed to be swollen and my whole body was covered with bruises.

No, there's more to it than that. When Yue Jialuo Yeming woke up again, he was surprised to find that he could not move.

"terribly sorry."

A brown-skinned girl lowered her head in front of her.

"Miss Ye Ming... for some reason, you can't move freely right now. Also, please don't struggle, it's not good for you."

"W-What!?"

Only then did Ye Ming realize that his body was bound by a piece of cloth that looked like a bandage.

“Mmm…! Mmm…!”

She twisted her body desperately, trying to break free from the restraints, but the cloth with strange patterns did not break, and did not even make a friction sound.

With a thud, Ye Ming fell to the ground. She found that she had no way to use her spiritual power. She didn't know what material these long strips of cloth were made of, and they seemed to be absorbing and draining her spiritual power.

"This is the 'Snake Belt'."

Tucker's daughter, Lilaila, smiled wryly and whispered, "It's said that if a jealous woman wraps a belt around it three times, it will transform into a seven-wound serpent. The evil thoughts generated by jealousy can also be infused into the belt, transforming it into a monster like a tsukumogami."

She explained calmly, "When these belts come into contact with someone with spiritual power, they will absorb their spiritual power. While it won't be fatal, it will be almost impossible to escape in a short period of time."

"Lilaila...you, what on earth are you going to do?"

Ye Ming asked doubtfully.

"Feel sorry."

Lila apologized again.

"I just hope Miss Ye Ming can do me a favor."

"You want me to help you?!"

Ye Ming was surprised.

"If you wanted to help, why couldn't you just tell me directly...why did you treat me like this?"

“This is also due to some considerations.”

Lila suddenly showed a bitter expression.

"I don't mean to harm you... or your companions, but as for my father..."

She seemed to have thought of something and sighed deeply: "In short, I would like to ask Miss Ye Ming for a favor."

"Just like what you said before, you want me to help you?"

Ye Ming was very confused about this. She couldn't understand what kind of help he was asking for that would require him to tie herself up like this.

Also, she was very worried about the situation of others. After meeting the two people from the Society of Beatitudes, she didn't know how the others were doing now.
"No, it shouldn't be a problem. After all, Baijie and the others shouldn't be defeated that easily."

Although she was worried, she still believed in her companions.

"Well, go ahead."

Ye Ming cleared his throat and asked, "What is it? If your reasons are sufficient, I can agree to your request."

Lila was so stunned that she couldn't speak.

She didn't expect that after Ye Ming was caught by her, he didn't get furious or curse.

"Yes, I hope Miss Ye Ming can help me defeat a monster."

Lila didn't hesitate too much and directly stated her intentions.

"...That guy's called Abe Mimaru, a snake demon with two heads."

She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "That is a very evil monster. My father Tucker has been bewitched by it. If this continues, the monster will bring danger to the tribe. We must find a way to defeat it."

"Defeat the monster?"

Ye Ming heard this and nodded slowly: "If it's something like this, of course I'm willing to help, but... there's no need to tie me up, right?"

"Excuse me."

Lila smiled bitterly. "It's a long story, but it's what I have to do to kill that snake demon, Abe Mimaru. I'll trouble you to be patient for a moment, and I'll explain it to you in detail later—"

"Ok."

Ye Ming nodded.

……

At the same time, Lilaila was talking to Ye Ming.

A pair of cold eyes were peeping at Yue Jialuo Yeming from the darkness.

That was the fetus created by Kurohime Yama Kuzuka. It was the child of the two of them created using her own cell tissue, Baijie's blood, alchemy and some forbidden techniques.

Ge Hua gave her a name, calling her "Youye Wuye".

When Youye Wuye was born, she was just a fetus, her body shrouded in an ominous darkness. However, in a very short time, she grew from a tiny baby into a little girl—no, it should be said that for Youye Wuye, the term "growth" is not correct.

She is actually very similar to the "artificial man" in Western alchemy. After her birth, she gained the ability to switch between the spiritual and physical media at will.

——In the technology of artificial humans, the creators give them innate intelligence, so whether they are born with Yerye or Wuye, they are already highly intelligent.

In addition, Youye Wuye can also summon a dark mist to hide his true body so that outsiders cannot perceive him. This is a concealment ability that far surpasses high-level invisibility techniques.

"As expected... this woman is still too troublesome. I'll take this opportunity to kill her."

Youye Wuye plans to kill Yuejialuo Yeming.

Out of some intuition, she realized that Yue Jialuo Yeming was in the way.

This woman will prevent her mother from getting her father.

——Her existence is an obvious obstacle.

Yuye Wuye has a strong dependence and admiration for her mother, Kurohimeyama Kuzuka, and she will faithfully follow her mother's orders.

However, Youye and Wuye also have their own ideas.

Unlike her mother's overly "obsessive" love for that man, Youye Wuye has no feelings for her father.

She didn't care much about the man, nor did she understand why her mother cared so much about him.

"That man must have fallen into the maze cave below, but he probably won't die..."

Ge Hua ordered her to protect Bai Jie.

However, Youye and Wuye had no intention of "faithfully carrying out" this matter.

"This underground cave maze, called the Maze, has a special property that isolates it from outside information, making telepathy very inconvenient... In addition, my connection with my mother has been cut off, and conversely, she can't use the collar to learn about my father's recent situation."

Mother Ge Hua does not want to kill Yue Jialuo Yeming.

Her statement seemed to claim that in order to fight against Kurohimeyama Kohagi, the existence of Yamiaki was necessary.

"Because only her awakened Eye of Heavenly Perception can completely restrain that woman's power of Time Chant," the mother said with a look of great fear, and turned her face away.

"Although I've tried several times, I still can't find an effective way to counter the power of Time Chant... Moreover, that old man deliberately accepted her as his disciple, probably because of this consideration."

Youye Wuye didn't quite understand the thinking behind her mother Ge Hua's intention, but she still thought this guy was a threat.

'She must be killed.'

As for dealing with that Kurohimeyama Kohagi, she felt that she could do it on her own.

It's almost time to get started.

There was no wind around, but the girl's hair still fluttered gently in the air.

She summoned a transparent blade from the void.

Suddenly, a figure walked out from the corner. His appearance was so strange that Youye and Wuye did not sense it in time, or she did not notice the figure.

"Father...you're back?"

Lila turned her head and saw her father Tucker appear here. This Ainu hunter had a gloomy face and held something like a sharp horn in his right hand.

"Is it the fang of a wild beast or a monster?"

Youye Wuye could see clearly that it was not a sharp horn, but the tooth of some monster.

"Yes, my plan was going smoothly, but it was discovered by that businessman named Lian Zhang."

Tucker shook his head.

"I was even slashed by the puppet while running away, but luckily it was only on my arm."

The old hunter covered his right arm, where there was a wound.

"Thanks to the tooth given by Master Abe Mimaru. If I hadn't had it, I wouldn't have been able to escape from those people."

When hearing these words, Youye Wuye felt relieved.

The old hunter and his daughter should be ordinary people. They don't have any special powers and can't use spiritual power. Logically speaking, they are just two mortals.

However, the fact that the old hunter Tucker was able to escape from the group of exorcists, and that Lila was able to restrain Yue Jialuo Yeming, both show that they did not rely on their own strength.

'It should be the medium.'

Yes or No, you see through the real reason.

A powerful snake demon gave his snake fangs to the father and daughter. Although they had no spiritual power, they were able to cast spells with the help of the snake demon's power.

"Is the tribute ready?"

"Ready."

Lila directed the snake belt to seal Ye Ming's mouth.

"Although there is only one girl, her spiritual power is quite strong. I hope Abe Mimaru-sama will like it."

"I'm afraid not."

Old hunter Tucker shook his head, an anxious look on his face.

"Last time, the time before that... because we didn't find the tribute, that master was already very unhappy. If we anger him again, Master Abe Mimaru might attack us."

"No, no, right?"

Lilaela feigned disbelief.

However, she knew the evil intentions of the two-headed snake demon much earlier than her father Tucker.

...Unfortunately, my father found out too late.

Her breathing became a little rapid, and a sense of sadness welled up in her heart.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't save his father who now knew "nothing" about the truth.

The only thing she could do was to try to avenge him.
