I Am Unstoppable novel

Chapter 421 Infiltrating Heavenly Cave

Carrying Mauve on his back, Simon arrived at Heavenly Village. He approached the first hut without a moment's hesitation. The hut looked old, and its main door was in a tattered condition. One could clearly see how tough it was to live around the area.

A short while after Simon knocked on the door, the voice of a Marlingtonian rang out. “Who is it?”

The Marlingtonian's heavy accent was difficult to understand. Nonetheless, it wasn't difficult for Simon to guess what he was saying. With a grim voice, Simon explained, “I'm an outsider who has been poisoned by parasites. I'm here to see Marlington King for a cure.”

After Simon had spoken, a brief silence ensued before the door to the hut opened.

A thin middle-aged man emerged, looking unassuming in the grey shirt he wore. Nevertheless, the man seemed to possess decent spiritual energy. After he gave Simon and Mauve a glance, the tension on his face eased. It was clear to him that the two had not come with ill intentions.

Thereafter, he said, “Come on in.”

Simon nodded in response.

Mauve, who was sprawled on Simon's back, expressed her gratitude at once. “Thank you, mister!”

However, the man didn't say another word.

Upon entering the house, Simon put Mauve down on a chair. The hut's spartan interior came as a shock to the city-dwelling Mauve.

I can't believe such terrible living conditions still exist in the world.

“Have you been poisoned by a parasite?” asked the man after he gave Simon a glance.

The latter nodded accordingly.

The man continued, “Marlington King will not easily agree to treat anyone from outside the village. Anyway, I'm just an ordinary resident of Heavenly Village and not a member of Heavenly Cave. Let me examine your condition first. If I can't cure you, I'll then take you to Heavenly Cave. That said, there's nothing more I can do if Marlington King refuses to help you.”

“Thank you, mister,” Mauve said gratefully.

The man subsequently took Simon's pulse. After a long while, his expression drastically changed, giving Mauve a shock.

She asked, “What is it, mister?”

The man gave Mauve a look. “I understand now.” He then turned his attention to Simon and continued, “The poison is inside you because you sucked it out of her blood, isn't it?”

Simon nodded to confirm.

“It makes sense now. As someone who isn't married, this young girl possesses the purest form of negative energy which coincidentally nourishes the golden silkworm. After you sucked it out, it was then soaked in the positive energy within you. The amalgamation of negative and positive energy allowed it to evolve into something more powerful—the golden king silkworm. The golden silkworm by itself is already a handful. Now that you have the golden king silkworm within you, I'm afraid even Marlington King might not be able to save you.”

The words caused Mauve's face to lose all color. With her eyes turning red, she sobbed, “This is all my fault, Simon.”

Simon's expression darkened at the same time. He had no intention of dying, for there was still a lot in life he wanted to do.

“Can you take me to Marlington King?” Simon asked the man.

“I have no authority to see him, but I can take you to his subordinates and get them to convey your intention to the king.”
