444: Soul-eating insect, Soul-eating grass

As soon as Wang Cao and his son arrived home, Little Tiger immediately ran to Wang Jia, acting cute and spoiled.

Wang Cao snorted, "Hmph, what a drama queen, Little Tiger."

After speaking, he left gracefully, holding a bamboo strip.

Wang Cao's mother, who had just come out of the room, glanced at him, not knowing what crazy fit her silly son was having now.

She stopped Wang Cao, "Where's your father?"

Wang Cao turned his head away, "Outside, playing with the drama queen."

Wang Cao's mother waved her hand dismissively, "Go, go, go back to your room and finish your homework."

Back in his room, Wang Cao looked at the five test papers on his desk and shouted loudly, "Damn it! How could I, a dignified Heavenly Venerate, still be doing test papers? Wouldn't that be a laughingstock if word got out?"

However, his anger lasted only a moment, and he put down the bamboo strip, picked up a pen, and then, looking at the test paper, muttered to himself, "Pen, oh pen, you are already a mature pen. You should learn to do test papers by yourself, understand?!"

A flash of lightning struck in his mind, and he enveloped the pen with Spiritual Qi, so that the pen was completely surrounded by Spiritual Qi.

Then, controlling the Spiritual Qi pen, it actually moved on its own and began to do the homework.

Wang Cao, on the other hand, happily lay on the bed, leisurely watching the pen quickly complete the homework.

Outside, Wang Jia was telling Wang Cao's mother about his recent trip, "This trip to help the Special Affairs Handling Bureau has truly benefited me greatly!"

"They are great heroes who protect our home and country; naturally, they are different."

"Yes, our son has also grown up; he's very capable now!"

The two looked together in the direction of Wang Cao's room inside the house, and Wang Cao's mother gently said, "You seem to have something on your mind since you came back this time?"

"Hmm, I... never mind, I won't say it."

But having been with Wang Jia for decades, how could she not know what he was thinking? She shook her head, "If you want to go, I will support you. It's fine even if I'm home alone, don't worry too much about me!"

Wang Jia tightly held her hand, clutching her palm, and said with determined eyes, "No, Wang Cao is constantly out and about, disappearing all day. If I leave you too, what would I do if you really encountered something?"

Wang Cao's mother sighed helplessly, "Alright then, let's not think about this for now. You must be tired after being out for so long. I'll go make dinner first."

"Alright!"

Watching Wang Cao's mother's departing back, Wang Jia stood alone, lost in thought.

In this world, Spiritual Qi has already recovered, yet she is still just an ordinary Mortal. Only he has had his talent awakened.

Facing a time when Yao Beasts are rampant and invaders are encroaching everywhere, he absolutely cannot rest assured leaving Wang Cao's mother alone in their hometown, Menjiang City.

He remembered that in the past, before Wang Jia's talent was awakened, Wang Cao would bring back large amounts of Yao Beast meat for his Family to enjoy every day. Although they ate so much Yao Beast meat, their Physique was only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people.

Compared to those who had been awakened and became Cultivators, they still seemed too fragile after all.

Fortunately, his son Wang Cao brought him a Beast Tamer Legacy, but he wondered when Wang Cao's mother would have her talent awakened.

Although many ordinary people have awakened their talent attributes, there are still more ordinary people, but after the baptism of Spiritual Qi, their physical condition is much better than before.

From this cooperation with the Special Affairs Handling Bureau, it seems they are very short on personnel.

Although he wants to contribute to the country, he truly cannot feel at ease about his wife. The best course of action for now is to guard his own small Family well!

Wang Cao's expression couldn't help but turn silent as he listened to his parents' conversation.

He largely understood his parents' thoughts and what their concerns were.

It was just like how he didn't want his father to tame Desert Fox Dogs before; it was all out of concern for his Family.

And while Wang Cao's Family was still deliberating, something happened at Eshigu Mountain.

The Family Head of Eshigu Mountain had gone missing, and the entire Family was thrown into chaos.

Everyone searched for several days but couldn't find him. Just as everyone was feeling despair, they finally found the unconscious Family Head in a cave on Eshigu Mountain.

Although everyone was puzzled as to why the cave had been searched no less than ten times without finding him, at this moment, everyone was more excited to have found the Family Head.

After some treatment, the Family Head finally regained consciousness, but his personality had undergone a drastic change.

The once gentle and kind man became cold and ruthless, no longer caring about Family affairs.

He locked himself in his room all day, refusing to see anyone, and sometimes he would arbitrarily kill those around him, even his closest relatives were no exception.

Everyone in the Family found it very strange, not knowing what had happened to the Family Head.

Some speculated that he had encountered something terrifying in the cave and was stimulated; others guessed that he had been poisoned by a Gu and lost his sanity.

But no matter how much everyone speculated, they could not find an answer.

To help the Family Head return to normal, the Family members tried every possible method.

They invited the best doctors and prescribed the best medicine, but nothing worked.

They also invited the most powerful shamans and performed the most potent Spells, but they also had no effect.

At this moment, outside a forest, voices were heard.

"Brother, with the Family Head so decadent now, should we..."

"Don't rush, no one knows when he'll get better, and it might even be a disguise. Let's wait and see."

"..."

Just as everyone was feeling despair, a mysterious person appeared.

He told everyone that the Family Head's mind was controlled by a Gu worm called "Soul Devouring Gu."

This Gu worm was very powerful, and only by finding an herb called "Soul Devouring Grass" could the Gu worm's control be lifted.

Upon hearing this, the Family members immediately sent people to search for the Soul Devouring Grass.

After some effort, they finally found the Soul Devouring Grass, lifted the Gu worm's control, and restored the Family Head to normal.

The Family Head, deeply moved, led everyone to express his gratitude, his voice trembling as he said, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your assistance. This Yang is immensely grateful."

Mi Xingfa, with a gentle smile, stroked his beard, and helped Yang Family Head's hand up, quickly responding, "Not at all, not at all. This was merely a coincidence. As long as Yang Family Head is well, that's all that matters."

The others also gathered around, vying to express their gratitude: "If it weren't for Your Excellency, we truly wouldn't know what to do... Thank you."

"Yes, yes, Your Excellency's medical skills are truly brilliant, simply miraculous."

"Your Excellency is truly a Divine Being. We sought so many physicians who were all helpless, and in the end, it was Your Excellency who found the cause of the illness. May I ask Your Excellency's name?"

Mi Xingfa humbly replied, "My surname is Mi."

"Master Mi, please accept my bow. If it weren't for you... my father would probably..." Saying this, Yang Guo was about to kneel and bow.

Mi Xingfa pretended to support his hand, saying anxiously, "No, no, if you truly wish to thank me, may I stay here for a night?"

Yang Family Head smiled and said, "Of course. Guo'er, why don't you quickly take Master Mi to rest."
