147: It's not the real Muchen Pearl.
bullet comments from various countries appeared below the video, simultaneously sparking a great deal of controversy among netizens.
While the outside world was already embroiled in a heated debate, peace had returned to the Tomb.
As for external matters, he didn't want to know, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.
Watching Ye Bai slowly walk over,
Yang Mi, Reba, and the others all rushed forward.
Meng Ziyi, in particular, was a step ahead and pulled Ye Bai into a hug.
"Wuwu!! Young Master Ye Bai, I'm so glad you're okay. You really scared me to death."
Meng Ziyi was on the verge of tears, and her arms tightened around Ye Bai continuously.
Just as Ye Bai was about to speak, he felt a tightening at his throat.
Internally, he was speechless; it was one thing for this woman to hug him, but why was she squeezing so hard?
Seeing Ye Bai's furrowed brows, Reba pulled Meng Ziyi away.
"Ziyi, pay attention. Men and women shouldn't be so physically intimate!"
Reba's words made Meng Ziyi feel a bit guilty, but she still withdrew her hands.
She had indeed hugged Ye Bai on purpose just now, but she hadn't expected Reba to pull her off.
"Ye Bai, you're truly incredible. What was that phantom behind you? Was it a type of Qigong?"
Wu Jing also came to Ye Bai's side, still carefully scrutinizing the space behind him. That phantom had already disappeared, and he had no idea where it had gone.
He looked at him with pleasant surprise.
Ye Bai didn't speak; he didn't even give him a single glance.
Seeing that Ye Bai didn't respond, Wu Jing wasn't angry either, but instead rubbed his nose awkwardly.
If he didn't want to say, then so be it, as long as they were safe.
It wasn't that Ye Bai didn't want to speak, but rather that he couldn't.
What could he say? That he possessed the Qilin Bloodline, so the phantom that appeared was a Qilin?
But who would believe that if he said it?
Who could believe he could summon a Qilin?
It was better not to say anything; otherwise, wouldn't he be treated as a mental patient?
Thinking of this, he stopped speaking. Seeing that they were all fine, he turned and walked toward the place where the King of Ancient Dian had vanished.
Wu Jing, Zhang Dada, and the others followed closely behind him; in case they encountered danger, Ye Bai would be there to protect them.
After the group followed Ye Bai to that spot, they watched as he picked up a Bead from the ground.
This Bead was entirely grey, with hollowed-out patterns on it—patterns that were actually eyes stacked together.
Except this Bead... "Is this the muchen pearl? The medium for attaining eternal life?"
Yang Mi looked at the Bead, a flash of amazement crossing her eyes.
Hearing that this was the muchen pearl, Reba curiously reached out, took it from Ye Bai's hand, and examined it closely.
Seeing that the craftsmanship was indeed exquisite, so this was the muchen pearl for eternal life... The Cameraman looked at the Bead in Reba's hand and gave it a direct close-up.
This allowed the audience to see it clearly as well.
Inside the Live Stream Room, the viewers also saw the object clearly.
【Holy crap! Is this the muchen pearl? The medium for eternal life? Can this thing really be that miraculous?】
【Who cares? Didn't we see it with our own eyes? The King of Ancient Dian really did come back to life!!】
【Ahhh! I want eternal life too. Can I borrow that Bead for a few days? I want to experience how the King of Ancient Dian felt.】
【Borrow it? Might as well just give it to you then?】
【How does this thing achieve eternal life? Does just holding it grant immortality?】
The viewers were currently extremely curious about this Bead.
While they were still reveling in their surprise, they heard Ye Bai's voice.
"This is not the real muchen pearl."
As Ye Bai spoke, he crushed the muchen pearl into two halves.
Seeing the muchen pearl crushed into two so easily, they were all dumbfounded.
"How can that be? This muchen pearl is a fake?"
Wu Jing, Zhang Dada, and the others were all astonished. This muchen pearl was actually a fake?
Then how did the King of Ancient Dian live until today?
While they were still in shock, the pain in their shoulders struck again, and this time, the pain was intensified.
"Ah..."
"Why does it hurt even more than before?"
"Dammit, is this going to kill us!!"
Zhang Dada, Hua Chenyu, and Cai Xukun all fell to their knees, propping themselves up with their hands, their faces turning grim.
Their expressions shifted from grim to agonized.
Cai Xukun was even in so much pain that he blurted out an expletive.
"Ye Bai, save us!"
Bai Lu's face turned pale with pain again as she knelt on the ground, clutching her shoulder.
She was in so much pain right now!!
"Ye Bai!!"
Reba was also there clutching her shoulder, murmuring in a low voice.
Ye Bai acted as if he hadn't heard, his hand tightly gripping the muchen pearl that had been broken in two.
He then proceeded to crush one of the halves into powder.
His other hand was catching the powder.
The viewers in the Live Stream Room were stunned. How had this curse returned?
【Wait! Young Master Ye Bai, I know you're very cool, but can you help them a little? They're in a lot of pain right now!!】
【How is he supposed to help with this? He doesn't know how to break the curse either!】
【Then what do we do now? My Da Mimi!!】
【Isn't my Taotao also in pain? Let's think about how to solve this instead?】
【How to solve it? That's a curse! Who can solve that? It's not like we can bring the King of Ancient Dian back to ask him how to break it, right?】
【Young Master Ye Bai, stop fiddling with your Bead. It's not even the real muchen pearl. Think of a way to help the celebrities ease their pain!】
【How can you ease this kind of thing? You're overthinking it.】
【My Reba, it hurts my heart just to watch.】
As the bullet comments flashed by, the viewers could only watch anxiously from behind their screens.
They couldn't do anything else.
Who knew when the Search and Rescue Team would arrive.
By now, Ye Bai had crushed the muchen pearl into powder.
Then, holding the powder, he walked straight to Yang Mi, pinched her chin, and sprinkled some of the powder into her mouth.
"Cough, cough!!"
Yang Mi inhaled the powder and couldn't help but cough a few times.
The thought of this Bead being in the coffin with the King of Ancient Dian for so many years made her feel that the substance was disgusting.
"Urgh!"
She even felt a few dry heaves.
"Ye Bai, why are you giving me this stuff to eat?"
Yang Mi really couldn't take it anymore and asked directly.
But Ye Bai didn't speak; instead, he pinched Reba's chin and fed her the powder.
Then came Bai Lu, Yang Chaoyue, and the rest of the group.
Seeing that Ye Bai wasn't answering, Yang Mi quickly stood up and went to his side.
"Ye Bai, say something! What is going on? Why did you feed us this fake muchen pearl?"
After giving the last of the powder to the Cameraman, Ye Bai turned to look at Yang Mi.
"Does it still hurt?"
Ye Bai suddenly asked.
"Huh?"
Faced with this sudden concern, Yang Mi's heart skipped a few beats. She then touched her shoulder and found that it actually didn't hurt anymore.
What was going on?
"This..."
