Chapter 588: Brain-Devouring Insect

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After hearing the explanation, Fang Ning asked the System, “I remember you have a Poison Prevention Orb that can cure all poisons under Legendary level. Will it work for this type of poisonous insect?”

“Nope.” The System was completely blunt.

‘Then what even are you good for?’

Fang Ning subconsciously started thinking, but he only dared to think in his heart and not say it out loud. The System was good for too many things…

“I know that you’re saying I’m useless again…” The System said bitterly.

“That’s not it. Nobody is perfect, there’s also no such thing as a perfect System. I’m very content with you now, so you don’t have to be upset.” Fang Ning quickly placated.

“Oh, of course I’m not upset. I’m just annoyed that that Poison Prevention Orb is too useless. There’re so many red dots, but I can’t even farm a single one.” The System said gloomily.

“That makes sense. There are several million people in Qi City, and more than 90% of them have been infected by this poisonous insect. It really is a good spot to farm for experience points. Wait, you really are a heartless System without conscience. A disaster is happening and all you can think of is your experience points.” Fang Ning was very speechless.

“Of course I am. I don’t even have a heart, so of course I don’t have a conscience.” The System said confidently.

Fang Ning was not in the mood to talk nonsense, so he spoke to Anderson instead, “Is there any way to restrain these poisonous insects?”

Anderson immediately replied, “Some Buddhist spiritual masters in the Upper Realm with true compassion and mercy should have developed a technique in response to this. I believe the Bodhisattva Spirit King should have one.”

Fang Ning nodded, took out his phone, and started to send a WeChat message…

Yes, he had long since added the Bodhisattva Spirit King as a Wechat friend.

Before long, he received a reply.

“The solution lies with Chong Daqing.”

Fang Ning felt gloomy after reading the message on his phone. ‘This Bodhisattva really knew how to stimulate the mind by using teachings. Can’t he just speak normally?

‘Or does he have some other scruples?’

Fang Ning could only raise his head to look at Chong Daqing.

It was currently hiding on the black dog’s head. It held a clump of dog fur while secretly peeking at the unconscious young man, as if it could not believe that there was such a terrifying insect dwelling in its body.

Fang Ning walked over and said kindly, “Miss Daqing, I have a request.”

“Oh, what do you need? I’m telling you first. If you want me to do something, you’ll have to pay.” Chong Daqing said matter-of-factly.

“Ah, as expected, someone who stays near vermillion will be stained red. Don’t worry, I’ll pay you.” Fang Ning assured it before saying, “The Bodhisattva said you have the solution to the poison.”

“Huh, why didn’t I know that?” Chong Daqing’s face was full of wonder.

The others stared at it with intense eyes.

The yellow dog Xue Ba suddenly said, “I heard that Miss Daqing is the head of the Spiritual Insects, so you should be the King of Insects as well. Maybe you can order those poisonous insects?”

“Oh, that sounds plausible.” Everyone began to comment.

“Oh right, we all forgot that Miss Daqing is actually a queen…” Someone said thoughtfully.

“Ah, I’m not any ‘queen’. Hm, but that doesn’t sound bad. Why isn’t anyone paying tribute to me then?” Daqing scratched its head with a forelimb, feeling puzzled.

“Uh, go ask the Bodhisattva about that. Now, Miss Daqing, please show your Celestial Aura and order these insects to obediently leave this person’s body.” Fang Ning hurriedly said.

“Alright, I’ll try.” Under the focus of the public’s eyes, Chong Daqing put aside its previous fear and emerged from the black dog’s head, and flew to the center of the site.

It crossed its legs and barked below, “You little poisonous insects, hurry up and get out here!”

‘Regardless of whether the problem was solved or not, the speed in which it enters its role really is quick.’ Fang Ning secretly thought.

The crowd watched closely, but did not see any movement on the young man’s body.

“How dare you disobey my orders. I’ll, I’ll, I’ll scare you to death!” Chong Daqing stammered out a few words. Then, its body trembled and a pink kingly aura suddenly appeared and pressed down.

All the people looked horrified. They had already sensed the strength of this aura. It was most likely beyond the peak of Lake-level, in fact, it had the atmosphere of a large ocean.

They never thought that this Chong Daqing who never revealed its talent would actually improve so quickly.

Although they could all sense it, after the mooncake appeared, the concentration of Vitality on Earth had further increased rapidly. Furthermore, the difficulty of breaking through the bottleneck had also decreased a lot.

Pond-level masters had formed a large crowd and Lake-level powerhouses have also begun to emerge one after another. Only Inland-Sea level supremacy was rare.

At least, no Earthlings have cultivated to this level. All of them were people from the Upper Realm.

That was normal as well. It was not the boundary that restricted the strength of the people from the Upper Realm, but time and resources.

After the kingly aura passed, that unconscious young man still remained unmoving. There was no abnormality happening at all.

The eyesight of everyone present was incredibly sharp, but no one could see any poisonous insects appearing.

It seemed like even a supreme Inland-Sea level aura was no use…

“What’s going on?” Fang Ning was puzzled, “Is there something wrong with our solution? Chong Daqing is the leader of the Spiritual Insects, so it’s natural for it to command other insects. This should be the hint that the Bodhisattva gave.”

“Are you stupid? Did you forget that Chong Daqing has the natural trait of being able to give a solution after eating a difficult question? That’s the reason why she’s the solution.” The System suddenly reminded.

“Oh,” Fang Ning was dumbstruck, and only replied after a long while, “A fool really does say smart things once in a while. Sir, you’ve become smarter.”

“I don’t understand.”

Fang Ning took out a piece of paper and wrote a question on it.

He took that paper and said to Chong Daqing, who was still releasing its aura, “Miss Daqing, I think what your Master meant wasn’t that, but this.”

“Oh, I don’t want to eat that.” Daqing promptly shook its head.

“Miss Daqing, I know this doesn’t taste good, but Qi City is having a crisis now. You can save all the people from deep waters, so please just bite the bullet and eat it.” Fang Ning said earnestly.

“No, no, make it into an egg pie with the words carved with eggs, and I’ll eat it.” Chong Daqing refused to be swayed by Fang Ning.

How would Fang Ning cook something like that?

Although he had been single for so many years, he had always lived on take-out.

‘It can’t be helped.’ He could only humbly say to the System, “Sir, help out with your Master-level Culinary Skills.”

“Oh, so you finally know that I’m useful now?”

“Yes, yes. You’re the most useful, the smartest, the most conscientious…”

The next moment, an egg and scallion pancake on a silver plate appeared in Fang Ning’s hands out of thin air.

The aroma of the scallions permeated the air, fragrant and exquisite, just like a work of art, making one reluctant to eat it.

Everyone stared with wide eyes. Although they had seen the great chef Fang’s workmanship many times, they were still amazed.

A pancake like this should only belong to the Heavens. How many times would mortals be able to smell it?

Chong Daqing pounced with its mouth wide open and gulped it all down.

The black dog grew afraid at seeing this and nudged the yellow dog beside it with its forelegs, and whispered, “Old Yellow, what ability is that? Miss Daqing is only as large as a fist, but her mouth can stretch bigger than my head. That pancake was at least thrice her size, but nothing happened after she ate it.”

“Well, that’s probably the innate talent of human gluttony? There’s a terrible beast in the Upper Realm that’s similar to the Taotie 1 in Earth’s myths. Maybe Chong Daqing is directly related to it.” The yellow dog gossiped.

“I heard the Celestial Clan leader is a very upright person, how could they be involved with such a ferocious beast?” The black dog wondered.

While the two dogs discussed, silvery lights appeared on Chong Daqing’s body. Whirlpools started to generate.

After an unknown amount of time, Chong Daqing suddenly opened its eyes.

It sported a sheepish expression, “Sorry, everyone. It really was something I had to do.”

Saying this, it suddenly faced the young man and opened its mouth…

The next moment, a red thread-like object emerged from his forehead and headed towards Daqing.

“I won’t eat something dirty like that…” Chong Daqing quickly closed its mouth.

Anderson quickly reacted. They shot out spiritually and immediately captured the thread-like object in mid-air.

Everyone only reacted then. Before Anderson entered this place, they mastered the Spiritual Slash and was once a king who was unrivaled in the entire world.

The red thread had nine curves, and it was hard to tell its head from its tail. It wiggled and squirmed incessantly, looking very strange.

“That’s right. This is it. The ‘Brain-Devouring Insect. It loves moronic people.” Anderson explained with a face of certainty.

“I see, looks like we’ll have to trouble Daqing to lure all those insects out. However, Qi City is so vast, can you swallow it at once?” Fang Ning said in distress.

“Sure, it’s just a little city. What’s so terrible about that?” Chong Daqing said, taking charge, “As long as I eat my fill first.”

‘Haha, this ‘as long as’ was not very easy to fulfill…’ Fang Ning was extremely speechless.
