Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

The curse of cheese is a sugar addiction, a triggered curse type.

If you don't consume enough sugar after each exertion of your energy, you will experience heart failure.

As a result, she often keeps a lot of candy in her backpack.

The curse would consume the sugar, and as a psionicist, she didn't need to worry about excessive sugar intake causing other problems.

The powerful physiques of psionicists mean they rarely get sick and are free from the torment of cancer.

Of course, as psychics age and their time comes, they often die from organ failure.
Cheese, on the other hand, carries the risk of tooth decay.

As a result, she brushes her teeth five or six times a day.

That's not really anything strange, but...
Li Ye glanced at the cheese's clothes, then subconsciously looked away.

For some reason, cheese has now donned a light and breathable white vest.

The vest, which was originally loose, now accentuated her graceful figure.

Beneath the vest, her voluptuous figure was faintly visible.

Water droplets still clung to her bare shoulders and lower abdomen. The droplets slid down her fair skin, tracing alluring lines.
"Why did you change your clothes while brushing your teeth?" Li Yelai looked away.

"I've been walking for a day and a night, and I'm sweating a lot. I saw that I still have some water, so I wiped myself down," Cheese said, pointing to the empty water bottle and wet towel next to him.

Clearly, while protecting Li Yelai, she removed her clothes and wiped herself down inside the cave. In front of Li Yelai...
Li Yelai couldn't help but complain, "Aren't you afraid that I'll regain consciousness halfway through and open my eyes? Can't you take some precautions?"

Defense? Cheese almost laughed. What right did someone who had laid down all defenses and lost consciousness in front of him have to say that?

You were the least prepared!
"Scared? Just a little bit..." Cheese responded softly.

Li Yelai entered the ark about an hour ago.

If Li Ye had returned ten minutes or so earlier, given the situation, she probably would have been genuinely frightened.

After all, the scene at that time was not easy to explain.

Recalling what he had just done, Cheese's heart raced a little. He licked his slightly swollen lips with his tongue, but his gaze was fixed on Li Yelai's neck.

Several red dots and teeth marks appeared on the side of Li Yelai's neck and collarbone, places he himself was unaware of.
In a way, we really have to thank the Heartless Fruit.

In the past, she really wouldn't have done those daring things.

Of course, under the influence of the Heartless Fruit, she still maintained enough rationality.

Otherwise, Li Yelai would have already been parasitized.

"My time inside the Ark is uncertain; I might be back soon. You can't keep doing this," Li Yelai reminded him again. He then took out a piece of clothing from his storage space and had Cheese put it on.

If I had arrived earlier, I probably would have seen something I shouldn't have.

"Okay," Cheese replied, putting on the obviously oversized hoodie, which concealed her fair skin.

'Anyway, you've already seen it,' Cheese thought.

Then he asked, "Have you found any information related to the Heartless Fruit?"

“The Heartless Fruit possesses a certain degree of intelligence. It will actively provoke negative emotions or desires in its host in order to control its parasitic target,” Li Yelai said.

“We’ve had this suspicion,” Cheese nodded. “However, while the Heartless Fruit possesses intelligence, it shouldn’t be able to transmit information. Otherwise, our location would have been discovered long ago. We wouldn’t have been able to hide here. The Heartless Fruit would have already taken control of its host and turned the tables on us.”

“Yes, that makes sense.” Li Yelai nodded. “But we still have to be careful. From what I understand, the Heartless Fruit can trigger certain negative emotions depending on the relationship between the host and the target. It could be jealousy, desire, or domination. It’s hard to guard against.”

Then, Li Yelai produced the official instructions.

The first official message was to instruct Li Yelai and Yueying to leave the second level of Wanlong Lake and to seal off all entrances and exits to the second level.

“This is in line with our plan. You really can’t stay on the second level. Otherwise, humanity will lose a future champion, as well as a rare causal-level divine aberration.” Cheese’s eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice, “Remember, you can’t be parasitized.”

"Don't worry! Now that I have the intelligence, I naturally won't be parasitized. The Heartless Fruit won't kill me on the first encounter," Li Yelai said. "Moreover, I brought so many mimicry heavenly soldiers. Our combat strength has greatly increased, so we shouldn't need to kill the enemy myself."

"Hmm," Cheese whispered, "Let's be more careful."

“I know,” Li Yelai replied. “Moreover, I also have a way to deal with the Heartless Fruit.”

Li Yelai informed Zhishi of the information he had obtained from Yunyue.

This made Cheese think for a long time.

"It's virtually impossible to trick all the Heartless Fruits within the bodies of all the official powerhouses into abandoning their hosts at the same time. Our current conditions don't allow us to deceive so many Heartless Fruits into abandoning their hosts simultaneously, let alone remove them in that instant. The Heartless Fruits possess intelligence; they won't believe us unless some terrible calamity suddenly arrives, destroying all their hosts. Otherwise, they will never give up."

"Calamity? I can certainly bring that on," Li Yelai said. "I have a lucky wheel. Have you ever used it?"

As he spoke, he took out a lucky wheel from his storage space.

"Never used it. Speaking of which, the forbidden item that's supposed to grant blessings or curses based on appearance has become a disaster generator in your hands," Cheese complained. He reached out and took the lucky wheel, then flicked the pointer.

Everyone can use the Lucky Wheel three times, but official members can only apply to use it after reaching the fourth awakening.

Cheese, after becoming a night watchman, left the giant city without ever being used.

After all, there are risks. Receiving a blessing or protection is naturally a good thing. But what if it's a curse? Wouldn't that be spending money to create trouble for yourself?

But now that she's been parasitized by the Heartless Fruit, she doesn't care much anymore.

The pointer spun rapidly on the dial and eventually stopped in the red area.

The next second, a golden light flashed on the turntable and flowed into the cheese.

"Cat-like eyesight? Night vision?" Cheese nodded: "Looks like I'm pretty lucky."

Then, the pointer continued to swing.

After using all three chances, she received two blessings and one curse.

These are respectively the Cat Eye Blessing, granting the ability to see in the dark.

Unfortunately, the psionicists of her murmured path fight using sound as their medium.

For her, this blessing wasn't very cost-effective. The moment she opened her mouth, the other person could pinpoint her location.

If one is a psionicist using other pathways, such as the Netherworld pathway, then they can fight their enemies entirely in the darkness.

The second blessing is protection from arrows. Within one minute, it allows you to intervene once when a ranged weapon is aimed at you.

This blessing is very cost-effective.

Even if she is sniped without any warning, she can avoid the damage.

The cooldown time is one minute.

For Cheese, this is a significant improvement. The curse, however, is increased pain. If injured, her pain will increase exponentially.

Compared to other troublesome curses, this is barely acceptable.

"My luck is pretty good, Xiaoye," Cheese laughed.

Li Yelai was incredibly envious.

If he could, he would also like to receive a few blessings.

Now, he's almost at the sixth level of consciousness.

He only has two blessings: one is the blessing of ranged attack specialization.

One is a rainbow piercing the sun, but it also has significant negative effects.
If you can also obtain other powerful buffs, such as the doll's powerful enemy-slaying buff.

That would be even better.

It's a pity that Li Yelai doesn't have the face to do that.

Even without using his facial makeup, he could only draw a curse from the lucky wheel. Given his appearance, the curse probably wouldn't be light.
After using the Lucky Wheel three times, Cheese said, "Using natural disasters to force the Heartless Fruit to comply is indeed a method. Just like you did in the Forbidden Zone before, summoning a large meteorite."

"When the Heartless Fruit senses the meteorite's appearance, it will probably be in a state of shock, desperately trying to leave behind seeds."

"But this method has three problems. First, once a natural disaster occurs, it won't disappear easily. The Heartless Fruit sprouted on its own, and we survived."

Li Yelai actually has a solution to this. He also has Mr. Shadow. Mr. Shadow's combat power is astonishing, although he might be unable to deal with parasites like the Heartless Fruit due to a mismatch in expertise. However, he should be able to suppress natural disasters.

Summoning a natural disaster would allow the Heartless Fruit to escape its host. Then, a deal could be made with Mr. Shadow to suppress the disaster. Perhaps then all the Heartless Fruits could be eradicated.

"Secondly, removing the Heartless Fruit requires external assistance; the host cannot do it on their own. We still cannot remove everyone's Heartless Fruit at the same time in that instant."

"Thirdly, the spread of the Heartless Fruit may be wider than we expected. Perhaps it can avoid natural disasters. It simply doesn't come out. After all, as long as the corpse is left, it will still grow fruit. Who knows, in some corners, there may still be Heartless Fruits in fruit form surviving."

"As for the divine abomination's counterattack you mentioned, it's currently uncertain whether the Heartless Fruit can trigger the maximum counterattack effect. I still advise you not to be parasitized."

Li Yelai fell silent, reaching the same conclusion as Jing Lin and Yun Yue.

All of this was to keep Li Yelai inactive.

Seeing that Li Yelai was deep in thought, Cheese stopped talking and just watched him quietly.

The sunlight streamed down from the cave entrance like a gentle stream, its soft and warm light illuminating Li Yelai's profile.

His face appeared particularly three-dimensional under the interplay of light and shadow, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding a heroic spirit.

Seeing this, Cheese's heartbeat quickened slightly, and a suppressed emotion seemed about to burst forth.

She suddenly felt an urge to do again what Li Ye had done before his consciousness returned.
Will they be able to avoid it?
She took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Is Xiaoyan alright? Is the doll alright?"

Li Yelai snapped out of his thoughts: "Xiao Yan is doing well. After I brought back the Divine Demon Tablet, she took us out for a walk. She's just lost some weight recently. She really likes the dragon jade you gave her. She really wants to see you, have a meal with you, and go shopping together."

"Because of the resurgence of that dangerous consciousness, the doll hasn't been able to fight lately. That's why she couldn't come here to provide support. She's also very worried about you."

Seeing the expression on Li Yelai's face when he mentioned the doll, Cheese's jealousy grew even stronger.

She even wondered if she could take the doll back if it was possessed by that dangerous consciousness.

She knew she couldn't think like that. She rationally suppressed that dark thought.

She knew it was the Heartless Fruit bewitching her, trying to sow discord between herself and the doll.
"It seems you and the doll get along very well," Cheese murmured, a bittersweet feeling welling up inside him. "One is the strongest captain, and the other is the champion's substitute. They're a perfect match, a powerful combination indeed."

Li Yelai paused, even his mind seemed to sense a hint of danger.

Fortunately, the cheese didn't make things difficult for him.

He stood up and walked towards Li Yelai, saying, "Let's go, we still need to find a place to camp before dark."

"it is good."

Meanwhile, the Bliss faction also began tracking down Li Yelai.

They have been cultivating Wanlong Lake for several years, and their followers are among the high-ranking officials of several city-states.

This allowed them to easily control the city-state's movements.

Upon receiving news of the dragon's appearance, the city-state's army was immediately mobilized to begin an investigation.

Upon discovering the intruders, launch a direct and forceful attack!
In reality, this is sending them to their deaths.

Indeed, some psionicists were born in these city-states.

After all, these city-states had a rapid population growth rate. Some ecstatic believers would also find pleasure in it.
Over the years, the proportion of psionicists here has become quite high.

However, compared to the elite Night Scouts, there is still a significant gap.

Not to mention, most of the Legion members are not psionicists.

If you encounter a group of night watchmen, you'll probably get badly beaten.

But this was exactly what the Elysium faction was thinking; they wanted to send the legions to their deaths. Most of these legions had already been parasitized by the Heartless Fruit.

If they don't fight back at night, they will be parasitized.

"The chances of him parasitizing that Night General using this method are slim," one of the demon generals said. "He might have already obtained intelligence. He won't be killed by Chu Jian."

“It’s alright, they can’t escape too far anyway. There are many supernatural creatures deep in the mountains that have been parasitized,” another demon general said. “Unless he can refrain from making a move.”

"Moreover, he has already met his companions. This is yet another opportunity."

At this moment, a female demon general kissed and sucked on the lips of a strong man.

Seconds later, the strong man withered and fell silently. On his body, a branch grew rapidly and produced three crystal-clear fruits that emitted an alluring fragrance.

The female demon plucked a fruit and smiled, "I've heard that the champion agent is exceptionally handsome. Under the influence of the Heartless Fruit, any woman who has even the slightest attraction to him can't help but gravitate towards him. This is an opportunity."

"Furthermore, we have a third option."

Several demon generals looked down at the dungeon, where several powerful officials were hanging naked on execution racks.

Regardless of gender, they were surrounded by a group of people.

The female demon general tossed the Heartless Fruit into the dungeon. The figures in the dungeon immediately began to scramble for it.

The Demon General laughed and said, "Let's guess, can that champion's representative endure what his companions have gone through?"

"What a pity. If we could have captured his closest companion, the effect would have been even better." (End of Chapter)
