Ye Zhen was stunned by the scene in front of her. She had always thought that the life of a Flame Demon would be an abyss of suffering, but the capital city in front of her looked no different from an ordinary commoner's market. Even though the sky was dark, it was no different from the imperial capital of the Xuantian Continent.
"These are all ordinary citizens of Mo Du. Most of them don't know magic. Just like in Xuantian Continent, some people practice magic but never harm others." The Supreme said in a low voice.
"Those children don't look very well, and it's not just one or two. Almost all of them look the same. Could they be sick?" Ye Zhen asked.
The Supreme shook his head lightly. "Fifty years ago, the survival rate of Flame Demon babies is not high. When they grow up, it becomes harder for them to train. Their faces are all pale."
"Why is it like this?" Ye Zhen asked with a frown. Why do I feel that those children look sick? Their skin is abnormally white.
"The Yan Region is no longer suitable for living. That's why these children look like this." The Supreme said in a low voice. "If this continues … the Flame Demons will soon be extinct."
Ye Zhen didn't speak. She looked at the children silently.
Actually, it wasn't just the children who had pale skin. The adults didn't look very good either.
Aside from the environment of the Yan Region, there must be other problems.
"Let's keep walking." The Supreme said in a low voice.
Ye Zhen looked at the children. They looked about the same age as Ming Xi. Because of their skin color, they looked especially fragile. Their innocent smiles made one's heart ache.
"Big windmill, squeaking as it spins. The scenery here is so beautiful …"
"I'll spin. You spin."
Seeing that Ye Zhen didn't follow, the Supreme turned to look at her. "Yao Yao."
"What do you want me to do?" Ye Zhen walked up, her eyes filled with oppression.
"I don't want you to do anything." The Supreme said in a low voice. "Don't misunderstand."
Ye Zhen laughed coldly. "From the moment you brought me back to help me refine the Devil Core, you wanted me to remember the history of the Flame Demons, and to let me know the hatred between the Flame Domain and the XuanTian Continent. You knew long ago that when I refined the Devil Core, I would remember all of this. You agreed to three days because you knew that after I remembered everything, I would not easily leave, right?"
"Yaoyao, I won't force you to do anything." Standing face to face with her, he looked at her with a burning gaze.
"Of course, you won't force me. You just let me stay." Ye Zhen looked straight at him. "You have a card up your sleeve for me."
"If I had a card up my sleeve for you, I wouldn't be so nervous. Yaoyao, if you don't want to become a Flame Devil, then don't. You don't have to bear such a fate anymore."
"Let Ye Jingshu become the Flame Devil King?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice. "You said that her hostility is too strong. If she becomes the Flame Devil King, the fate of the Flame Domain will be the same as before, where people will be plunged into misery and suffering. This is not a good thing."
"You're starting to care about this place." There was a smile in the depths of the Supreme's eyes.
"Those children look like they are sick. As …" Ye Zhen took a deep breath. "I really can't bear it."
The Supreme smiled. "You once said that you are a doctor. Maybe you know the reason."
"What right do I have? You're the High Priest and the Grand Exalt of Mount Xingyun. Even you can't cure them, so what ability do I have?" Ye Zhen sneered. "Anyway, I'll definitely leave tomorrow."
"Okay, I will send you back to the flying spirit ship tomorrow," the Supreme said.
Just as he finished speaking, a scream came from behind them.
Ye Zhen hurriedly looked back. It was the child who was singing just now. She didn't know why he was lying on the ground, twitching all over. The children around him were screaming.
"Hurry up and take a look," Ye Zhen shouted, already running towards the child.
The Supreme followed behind her to see what was wrong with the child.
"He looks like he has epilepsy." Ye Zhen frowned. She wanted to take the brocade box from her waist, only to remember that she hadn't practiced medicine for a long time. The silver needles had long been put away.
She found the brocade box from her space and stuffed the handkerchief in her hand into the child's mouth.
"Don't let him bite his tongue," Ye Zhen said.
"Yao Yao, what do you want to do?" the Supreme asked.
Ye Zhen had already taken out the silver needles and pierced them into the child's acupoints. Fortunately, her movements were not rusty. She hadn't performed acupuncture for a long time.
"Child, what's wrong with my child?" The child's parents ran out of the shop next to them. When they saw their son lying on the ground and twitching, they almost screamed. "What's wrong with him?"
"High Priest?" Someone recognized the Supreme's identity and shouted excitedly. When the others heard his shout, they also became excited.
"Greetings to the High Priest. High Priest, please save us. My child was like this yesterday. His mouth was full of blood …"
"…"
The Supreme looked up at Ye Zhen. "Yao Yao?"
Ye Zhen took out the silver needles and continued to pierce the acupoints.
After the extraction, the child finally calmed down. He was sweating profusely and looked very weak.
"All right," Ye Zhen said, turning to look at the others. "Does your child also twitch like this?"
"Child, my child." The woman ran up and held the child in her arms.
"Are … are you the Demon King? You can cure the child's illness. Are you the Demon King? "Someone asked.
Ye Zhen frowned slightly. "I'm not."
"High Priest, Demon King, please save us. Our children always die inexplicably. If this goes on, what should we do?"
Everyone knelt down and kowtowed to Ye Zhen and the Supreme.
Ye Zhen took a few steps back and watched the whole street kneel down. She was at a loss.
"Get up." The Supreme looked at them with his straight and narrow eyes. "If there is a way, we will definitely cure your illness."
"Demon King, please bless us."
"Demon King, please bless us …"
Everyone shouted and kowtowed to Ye Zhen.
"What's going on?" Ye Zhen asked the Supreme in a low voice. She just calmed the child down. How did they think she was the Flame Demon King?
"There has never been a doctor in the Yan Region. You just calmed the child down. They all think you are the Flame Demon King." The Supreme whispered. "Yao Yao, what did you just do to the child?"
Ye Zhen looked at everyone. "Let's leave this place first."
Why did she feel that these people were suffering from a contagious disease? It wasn't because the Yan Region wasn't suitable for survival.
However, the Yan Region didn't see the light of day all year round. There was indeed a problem.
Unknowingly, Ye Zhen began to worry about the future of the Yan Region.
