Chapter 2558: Chapter 2558: Curing an Illness

"What time is it now?" Julius Reed shook his head and grabbed Dragon Wu’s hand, feeling her pulse.

Sure enough, Dragon Wu’s body was already very unstable.

According to the Long family’s rules, it’s probably not far from madness.

It’s hard to imagine Dragon Wu accepting scratching her own face? 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

She would rather die with dignity.

Than live in disgrace.

The ancestors of the Long family almost all died tragically like this.

Now, fate has finally descended upon Dragon Wu.

"It’s useless." Dragon Wu reached out, touched Julius Reed’s face, and said with a bitter smile, "If I had known I would get sick this fast, I wouldn’t have fought with you so recklessly. If one day you fell into my hands, I really wouldn’t kill you."

The hereditary disease of the Long family, no one can solve it.

Long Kun used dragon blood, Black Dragon used the power of the ancestors to create a new life.

Dragon Wu intends for her soul to leave her body to avoid becoming a family tragedy.

But unexpectedly, the more you fear something, the more it comes.

From initial discomfort to now coughing, the next step is an unbearable itch.

Finally, it will disfigure her face.

Obviously, Dragon Wu doesn’t want that.

She wants to die with dignity, at the very least, her face should remain intact.

That kind of pain, not everyone can endure it.

"There must be a solution, but... why did your body change so quickly?"

Julius Reed was somewhat perplexed.

But for Dragon Wu, he would never abandon her.

He must find a way to save Dragon Wu.

One day of husband and wife brings a hundred days of grace.

The two of them have had entanglements, and from the divine realm until now, they both have developed some special feelings for each other.

"Actually..." Dragon Wu hesitated, but still leaned her head against Julius Reed’s body, whispering, "When I entered the illusory realm before, I dreamed of you."

If she was going to die anyway, Dragon Wu wanted to leave something beautiful in this world.

"I never thought I’d see the day I would inexplicably start liking you." She looked at Julius Reed with tear-filled eyes, "Did you ever like me?"

Since realizing that she was already being retaliated against, Dragon Wu felt nothing else was important.

Her time was running out.

Survival was impossible.

She would fulfill her regrets and then leave in the most dignified manner possible.

At least, to make this world remember her.

"This question..."

"Answer me, otherwise, I might never hear it. Julius Reed, you’re good at everything, but you’re a bastard! You like so many girls, yet you don’t dare to admit it. Are you a peerless hero? We don’t care, so what are you concerned about?"

Dragon Wu interrupted him, throwing herself into Julius Reed’s arms, "I’m listening to your heart; tell me."

"Maybe... never mind, a little bit."

Julius Reed shrugged helplessly: "Perhaps it’s a love-hate relationship. Even if I have a bit of affection for you, it started from when we became enemies."

The room plunged into silence.

True Lord Nether stood nearby, quietly eating dog food.

He suddenly thought of Blood Soul Emperor’s wife.

That was his little sweetheart.

No idea how long she had been dead.

Or maybe, what if she escaped?

Damned love!

Truly disgusting!

But Julius Reed and Dragon Wu beside him didn’t care at all.

"You’re lying." Dragon Wu smiled, slightly weary, and said, "You’re lying, Julius Reed, you liar."

"There’s been no change in my heartbeat, what am I lying about?" Julius Reed felt a bit guilty but still controlled his heart rate.

"I never told you one thing. Actually, as long as I’m this close to you, I can still hear what people around are thinking in their hearts."

Dragon Wu raised her head and smiled at Julius Reed: "I thought you were some sort of paragon. Turns out since that moment you saw me bathing in the divine realm, you’ve liked me. Hehehe..."

She laughed freely, but as she laughed, she cried.

"If only I had let go sooner, not fighting for the world, how nice it would have been."

Dragon Wu’s eyes were hollow but still raised her head, pointing at True Lord Nether: "You said the two of us were disgusting."

"Ah! How could I!"

True Lord Nether seemed to realize that Dragon Wu could sense people’s inner thoughts, quickly stopped thinking, stopped imagining.

"Never mind, Julius Reed, I’m satisfied. Tomorrow I’ll go back, take care of everything. On my funeral day, you must come! Remember, you must come! And don’t bring any of your women!"

Dragon Wu pushed Julius Reed away, staring hard into his eyes: "Even if I’m dead, I don’t want to see them."

She was once an empress!

Proud beyond compare!

Those women, whether in seniority or status, could never match her.

"I’ll figure something out."

Julius Reed suddenly looked at True Lord Nether: "Back then, their family drank divine water, immune to all poisons, and killed the dragon clan, but every once in a while, their blood would turn into water, starting to retaliate, do you know about this?"

The ancestors of the Long family were from True Lord Nether’s era!

True Lord Nether is a god!

"You mean, they drank two kinds of water, avoiding instant death, but years later, their bodies would dissolve?"

True Lord Nether slapped his thigh, walked over to Dragon Wu, and sized her up: "Really."

"You know?" Dragon Wu was startled inside, but still didn’t have much hope.

"That water is the Bull King’s alchemical water. My residence also has similar water. In today’s terms, it’s called living water. One yin and one yang. Yin and yang counteract each other, which can prolong the retaliation effect. But after a long time, when yin and yang have neutralized each other, all that’s left is water."

True Lord Nether stroked his chin, appearing a bit troubled: "Too bad. There’s no alchemy furnace now, otherwise, I could save you."

"You mean this?"

Julius Reed stretched out his hand, and the Divine Dragon Tripod suddenly enlarged!

Bang!

It landed inside the room.

True Lord Nether’s expression changed instantly.
