Chapter 541: Chapter 535: Blood Transformation Disease Outbreak

Brown Mansion, Moon Tower.

Incontrast to the tranquil bubbling outside in the courtyard, the Moon Tower was steaming with heat. Rich medicinal fragrances seeped out, inducing a touch of reverence on Lily’s face as she stood and waited outside the door.

“The scent of the medicine is cold yet lingering, it seems that my lady will soon become a Spirit Level Healer.”

Lily, who had become Iris Brown’s personal maid, inherently immersed herself in medical texts. She was quite knowledgeable and usually prepared for her lady’s pharmacy work.

“Buzz!”

While Lily was daydreaming about the future, a muffled sound of an exploding elixir furnace echoed, followed by sounds of things falling and breaking from inside the Moon Tower.

Lily’s face changed, she hurriedly pushed open the main door and on her first glance found her lady lying helplessly on the ground, her complexion pale.

“My lady, what happened to you?” Lily hurriedly helped Iris up and took out a health external elixir from her bosom. She put it in her mouth, intending to feed it to the unconscious Iris.

However, before she had a chance to open her mouth, Iris opened her eyes which were slightly bloodshot, and with a weak hand, pushed her away.

“Lily, I’m fine.”

After speaking, Iris coughed twice and blood seeped out from her delicate nostrils and lips.

On seeing this, Lily’s beautiful eyes narrowed abruptly.

Pale complexion, dizziness, weakness, bleeding from the nose and mouth; these symptoms appeared eerily similar to her mother’s, who had died from Blood Transformation Disease.

“No, it’s not possible. The lady is of noble birth, how could she suffer from a disease that only common Ghosts have – the Blood Transformation Disease.”

Lily shook her head, suppressing her internal chaos, extending her snowy little hand to touch Iris’ forehead.

However, the cold touch that came from the forehead made Lily’s hand tremble, nearly causing her to collapse.

In the Moon Tower, where the fire vein qi was vigorous, Iris’ body was so cold. Aside from Blood Transformation Disease, Lily couldn’t think of any other disease that showed such similar symptoms.

Witnessing the fear on Lily’s face, Iris immediately sensed something wrong. Without even minding the sizzling Alchemy Furnace, she stretched out her index finger and poked her upper left chest.

“It really is Blood Transformation Disease!” Seeing the pale blue blood on the tip of her finger, Iris’ face turned deathly pale.

She initially thought the headaches, fatigue, and chest tightness that she experienced during alchemy some days ago were due to her obsession with alchemy and excessive tiredness. She didn’t pay much attention to it, thinking a few days rest would make it better. She hadn’t expected them to be symptoms of Blood Transformation Disease.

At this thought, the image of the mysterious young healer she met at the External Alchemy Tower the day before suddenly came to mind.

“It was my foolishness that led me to mistake a healer with superior medical techniques as a charlatan.”

After speaking, perhaps due to overwhelming emotions, Iris coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood and fainted again, leaving Lily, her maid with a tense expression.

…

“Healer, could you please diagnose my granddaughter!”

Clive Brown hadn’t expected to hear the dreadful news about his granddaughter’s suspected incurable disease right after he had just returned from defeating the Skull Beast.

“General Brown, my medical skills are inadequate; I’m powerless in the face of the Blood Transformation Disease.” The old Ghost Healer with white hair shook his head, displaying regret in his eyes.

He had heard numerous accounts about Iris’s achievements. The loss of an extraordinarily gifted healer due to an incurable disease was truly a massive blow to the world of the healers!

Upon hearing this, Clive’s heart sank, the high-grade teacup in his hand was turned to dust in an instant.

How could the heavens be so unfair! Ten years ago, he had lost his beloved daughter-in-law to the Blood Transformation Disease. Now, the disease was going to take away his cherished granddaughter yet again.

With Clive’s silence, the atmosphere in the room became stern, the healer who had diagnosed Iris didn’t dare utter another word, fearing that the renowned captain of Team Kamui would bear a grudge against him.

“Sir, kindly help us, Lily.”

Once she said this, Lily quickly handed over the reward to the Healer.

“One should not take rewards for work not done, I hope the General will mourn in peace!” The Healer shook his head slightly and walked out with a tremulous gait.

I should not stay here any longer, it is best to leave as soon as possible.

Clive Brown looked at his unconscious granddaughter on the bed, his face showing hesitation, which then turned to firmness, a terrifying power quietly gathering in his palm.

Blood Transformation Disease not only has no cure but also causes extreme pain during its onset. His daughter-in-law had begged for death multiple times, not wanting to endure the torment of the disease, but he and his son had firmly refused, choosing to try to actively treat her. Unfortunately, it was ultimately a futile endeavor.

He had never forgotten the look of his daughter-in-law’s hatred and her relief at death’s door, and he even doubted whether he had made the wrong decision back then.

“Lily, there is no cure for the Blood Transformation Disease, do you think it’s better for the young lady to suffer the torment of the disease and die, or for me to personally send her on her way as her grandfather?” Clive’s calm voice made Lily’s pretty face pale a little.

If the young lady were to die, as a maid, she would surely have no reason to live.

“Sir, yesterday…”

Lily clenched her teeth and told Clive everything about how someone had noted yesterday that the young lady had already contracted the Blood Transformation Disease.

“No Aries, carries a Beast, has a high-level arcane implement on his wrist and arm, handsome, and about the same age as Iris…”

As Lily described the mysterious Healer’s physical features, Clive’s eyes brightened.

The young Healer was none other than his respectable opponent from Mapleborough Village whom he had battled evenly for several rounds!

“Take good care of the young lady.”

Leaving this sentence behind, Clive Brown turned around and left the room.

As the captain of Team Kamui, as long as David Jones remained in Silver-Abyssal City, he would definitely be able to find him.

It’s not easy to find a suitable successor these days, no matter the price, he must cure his granddaughter.

…

Meanwhile, a luxurious Tiger Carriage slowly came to a stop in front of the grand building with a broad expanse of gold and jade.

“Sir, we have arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion.”

The steward lifted the curtain of the carriage and, taking a glimpse of the twin maids in the carriage whose clothing was somewhat disordered, he averted his gaze, bowed his head, and announced with respect.

Hearing these words, David Jones just turned his head and looked, and the attentive maids on his left and right let go of their supple jadelike arms tactfully.

He couldn’t help but shake his head at the faint virgin scent now a part of him, as he walked towards the heavily guarded gate.

Under the steward’s guidance, no guard dared to stop him. At most, they would ask David for his identity and wave him through.

David Jones walked along the grand greenstone path, his eyes sweeping over the luxurious buildings in front of him.

“There are quite a few Ghost King Elites in Silver-Abyssal City, there are two just within the City Lord’s Mansion.”

Under the outstanding observation capabilities of the Illusion-Piercing Eye, the Strong Ones guarding in the shadows could basically not escape David Jones’ sight.

“Interesting, his aura is like the setting sun in the west, near the end of its road, yet there is a hint of vitality. This Silver Abyss City Lord is indeed not simple.”

Detecting the aura radiating from the courtyard ahead, David’s steps momentarily faltered.
