446: Chapter 446 The Chaos Pill Recipe Obtained, Ye Ling's Illness

General Li Bufan stepped forward and gently knocked on the gate.

The residence was very desolate; there was no response for a long time.

"Are there really no guards or maids in the Ye residence?" Lin Ran asked.

"They were dismissed by General Ye Yi long ago. General Ye Yi found them too noisy, so he sent them all home." General Li Bufan shook his head and said.

As he raised his right hand, intending to knock on the gate again, the gate creaked and was opened from the inside.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man whose age was likely similar to General Li Bufan's, but compared to General Li Bufan, he looked much older.

If General Li Bufan was a high-spirited general who had achieved countless glorious military exploits on the battlefield...

…then General Ye Yi was the image of a general who was not valued, accomplished nothing, and could only wither away in silence.

Comparing the two, the difference in their states was obvious at a glance.

"General Li Bufan, I said it before: if you do not have a way to cure my Ling'er, I will not tell you any information about the Resurrection Immortal Sect."

General Ye Yi's expression was blank, his eyes slightly hollow.

His entire being radiated an aura of deathly silence; he was unshaven, and a few strands of white hair had even sprouted at his temples.

"I came this time to bring them along to see Ling'er." General Li Bufan forced a smile and said.

General Ye Yi moved his hollow gaze, looked over Lin Ran and the others, and finally shook his head, saying, "For the sake of your Face, come in."

"Remember, do not speak loudly, lest you disturb Ling'er."

General Li Bufan nodded slightly, then signaled to Lin Ran and the others.

Everyone tiptoed as they entered the Ye residence together, as if afraid of making even the slightest sound and incurring General Ye Yi's dissatisfaction.

General Ye Yi led them to a study and personally poured tea for them.

"It is just some coarse tea, nothing more. Do not take offense."

General Ye Yi's tone was devoid of any emotion.

"Has Ling'er's condition improved?" General Li Bufan asked, taking a small sip of the bland tea.

"No improvement; on the contrary, it has become more serious." General Ye Yi shook his head indifferently.

Seeing that the System's notification had yet to sound, Lin Ran felt it must be because he had not yet asked General Ye Yi about the Resurrection Immortal Sect.

Unable to hold back any longer, he asked, "General Ye, it seems people from the Resurrection Immortal Sect have visited the Ye residence before, right?"

"What did they come for, and why did they leave?"

General Ye Yi fixed his gaze on Lin Ran, a strange, cold smile tugging at the corners of his mouth:

"As for what they came for, I will not tell you."

"But I can clearly tell you that they left in order to cure Ling'er!"

Lin Ran nodded slightly: "As long as I can cure your daughter, will you then be able to tell me the information about the people from the Resurrection Immortal Sect?"

General Ye Yi sneered: "Heh! As long as you can save Ling'er, let alone just telling you the information about the people from the Resurrection Immortal Sect, even if it were my life, I could give it to you as well!"

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully completing the Heavenly Mandate Mission!]

[Reward: 50,000 destiny points, chaos pill formula!]

Hearing the System's notification sound in his ears, the corners of Lin Ran's mouth curled up slightly, and he said:

"Since that is the case, I wonder if General Ye can take me to see your daughter?"

General Ye Yi still sneered: "You may. But, if you see Ling'er and cannot come up with any solution, what will happen then?"

"Oh? What would General Ye like to happen?" Lin Ran raised an eyebrow slightly.

"You shall never step foot into my Ye residence again for as long as you live!" General Ye Yi said.

"That is naturally acceptable." Lin Ran nodded with a smile.

"Fine! Follow me!" General Ye Yi flicked his sleeves and led the way.

"Lin Ran, you... how did you end up making a wager with General Ye Yi for no reason?"

"Are you confident that you can cure Ye Ling's illness?" General Li Bufan leaned into Lin Ran's ear and asked worriedly.

"Whether I am confident in curing Ye Ling's illness, I will only know after I see Ye Ling." Lin Ran shook his head slightly.

He now placed all his hope entirely on the chaos pill formula.

If even the chaos pill formula could do nothing about Ye Ling's illness, then it would only mean that his method of saving Ye Ling to obtain information about the people from the Resurrection Immortal Sect would not work, and at that point, he would simply have to look for another way.

General Ye Yi gently pushed open the door to a bedroom, and a strange, nauseating, and indescribable stench rushed toward them.

Even Lin Ran could not help but gently cover his nose and mouth with his hand, his brows furrowing deeply.

This strange odor was like a mixture of fermented blood, the foul smell of Innate, and the stench of a corpse; it was simply nauseating to smell, even causing one to feel waves of dizziness.

"Come in." General Ye Yi was accustomed to this stench; he did not even frown and said softly.

Lin Ran followed behind General Ye Yi, stepped into the bedroom, and looked toward the young girl on the bed.

At this sight, his pupils immediately constricted, and his expression was filled with shock.

The young girl's body was bare, without a shred of clothing covering her, but her entire body was covered in dense red hair, looking just like a red-haired ape.

And that foul, nauseating stench was coming from those red hairs.

"These hairs have increased again. It seems General Ye Yi was right; Ye Ling's condition is getting more and more serious." General Li Bufan said in a low voice.

Yu Xin and the others also looked at the scene before them with furrowed brows; they had never seen such symptoms either and did not know what the cause of the illness was.

Suddenly! The red hairs on Ye Ling's body began to grow wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, right before everyone's eyes.

Those hairs grew wildly one after another, eventually blooming like flowers; however, what bloomed out were one bulging small blood sac after another.

This scene appeared strange and suspicious.

As for Ye Ling, who was lying on the bed, she became even more sallow and emaciated, thin as a rail, and the vitality within her body was constantly fading away.

"This... what is going on?!" Yu Xi exclaimed subconsciously.

"What is going on? What is going on? What is going on..." General Ye Yi's state seemed very wrong; he stood before the group, head buried, muttering to himself.

Suddenly! He turned around abruptly, his Face ferocious, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws, and lunged toward Yu Xi.

"I am the one who wants to ask you what on earth is going on!!"

General Ye Yi's state really gave everyone a fright.

"General Ye Yi, are you f***ing crazy?!" General Li Bufan circulated the magic power within his body, reached out with his right hand, and ruthlessly suppressed General Ye Yi.

"Roar!" "Get out! All of you, get out!" General Ye Yi looked like a madman, and from his mouth came a roar like that of a wild beast.

Lin Ran's brows were locked tight, and he immediately signaled to General Li Bufan.

General Li Bufan understood, instantly dashed behind General Ye Yi, and knocked him unconscious.

"Let's go, we should also get out!" Lin Ran said with a grave expression.

Everyone hurriedly retreated from the bedroom...
