Bai Yang wanted to ask if there was an antidote, but he was worried that if he appeared too eager about the subject, it could be used against him. He attempted to casually broach the subject.
"Of course," Long Hai replied. He stepped forward. The distance between the two shrank until they were practically pressed against each other.
"Rebirth gu are extremely poisonous to the living, but to the dead, they can be a panacea."
"Why is that?" In Bai Yang's fascination, he failed to realize how close Long Hai was.
"Because the dead in our city rely on the worms to live. The power that the rebirth gu absorbs can allow anyone to move about," Long Hai said. To say it so casually, it was obvious that rebirth gu had originated from FireThorn City.
"Then, if a living person were infected with a gu, how would they go about removing it?"
"Only the City Lord knows how," said Long Hai.
Bai Yang looked at the black-haired youth in front of him. He was leaning against the Demon King, smiling flirtatiously.
Bai Yang sighed internally.
The black-haired youth suddenly looked at him, revealing a strange smile.
Bai Yang felt some sudden shock.
The young City Lord turned his head away. He said something to the Demon King, causing him to frown, then nod.
The two left the round table.
Bai Yang wanted to follow them, only to be stopped by the Demon King: "No need." Bai Yang stopped in his tracks. He watched the backs of the Demon King and the black-haired boy disappear into the distance.
"Why don't take you to see FireThorn City," Long Hai suggested.
Bai Yang, seeing the Demon King had already left with the FireThorn City Lord, felt that he couldn't just sit around, waiting. After a moment's thought, he agreed to Long Hai's request.
He was extremely curious about the legendary FireThorn City. In the novel, this city was an untouchable, unapproachable existence. The citizens were all extremely powerful and capable people, while the wares for sale inside the city were bizarre.
Bai Yang wanted to know exactly what was so strange about this city. Long Hai brought him for a stroll, before finally bringing him to the City Lord's residence.
There were a few guards making their patrol around the residence. On seeing Long Hai, they rushed forward to pay their respects.
Bai Yang could confidently tell that they were living people.
Everyone had some peculiar markings drawn on their face. At a closer glance, it was apparent that the patterns weren't drawn, but carved into the skin. But why?
Long Hai introduced Bai Yang to the guards and they immediately paid their respects to him as well.
Bai Yang nodded his head to express goodwill, then followed Long Hai into the residence.
The residence appeared to be an ordinary palace.
Bai Yang stepped inside and found the interior completely different than he had expected. As soon as he entered the door, it was as if he had stepped into a different dimension. Inside, there was a sea of dark green grassland with a huge lake visible in the distance. In the center of the lake was an extremely tall pagoda.
"This is where we live," Long Hai introduced.
Bai Yang made a sound of surprise. He was about to walk onward when Long Hai stretched out a hand and stopped him. "Don't go that way."
