Chapter 838: (The Supreme Overlord Has Caught a Cold)

Chapter 838 (The Supreme Overlord Has Caught a Cold)

"This skeleton seems different from the one we encountered before," Lu Yan said with a serious expression. When he mentioned the difference, he was referring to another aspect.

"It does seem a bit different," Zhang Changhen also nodded.

However, the others were quite puzzled and couldn't understand what was different. Moreover, from the looks of the two Overlords, it seemed like they were very certain about the difference.

Lu Yan said lightly, "The skeleton from back then would never take action by himself."

Zhang Changhen nodded in agreement.

It seemed like they had truly figured out Ye Hua's personality. Back in the day, Ye Hua rarely took action, leaving most of the work to his subordinates. However, this death assassin was taking action by itself, which was a clear sign that it wasn't the same as the one from back then.

"But this skeleton's strength is probably approaching the ranks of the Overlords!" Zhang Changhen said with a deep voice, which was not a good thing at all.

Back then, they hadn't paid much attention, which had led to a grave mistake.

"When did this happen?" Lu Yan also realised this and quickly asked. Such a threat should have been eliminated promptly. They couldn't allow it to develop further, or history might repeat itself.

Mao Ying respectfully replied, "Overlord, it's likely been about two hours."

"What? It's been two hours already? And you're only informing me now!?" Zhang Changhen angrily scolded. Two hours might have been enough time for that skeleton to escape.

Mao Ying was helpless and said, "Sect Master, I encountered several obstructions on my way to the inner courtyard."

"The inner courtyard is really outrageous!" Zhang Changhen glared fiercely at the experts who had obstructed Mao Ying. They lowered their heads in silence. If they had known about the situation, they definitely wouldn't have obstructed him.

"Where is he located?" Zhang Changhen asked in a stern voice.

"In the Desolate Land," Mao Ying respectfully replied.

Zhang Changhen waved his hand, and everyone in the ancestral hall disappeared instantly. It didn't take long for them to arrive beside a thatched cottage.

However, at this moment, the thatched cottage was already engulfed in a raging fire.

Seeing this, both Zhang Changhen and Lu Yan had extremely grim expressions. If the intelligence had been delivered more quickly and hadn't been obstructed, they could have eliminated that damned skeleton. But this time, they had let it slip through their fingers again.

"Search for him! Search every corner of the Desolate Land and find that damn skeleton! And remember, this information is to be completely sealed. If any of you leak this information, don't blame me, the sect leader, for turning against you!" Zhang Changhen's decision was correct. If this information were to spread, it would cause a massive commotion in the southern part of the Sapphire Continent, and not the kind of commotion they wanted—a riot that had occurred in the past, resulting in many deaths.

"Mao Ying!" Zhang Changhen called out in a stern voice.

"Sect Master!"

"Delegate the search to your enforcement team in the outer courtyard, and the entire Broken Vein Mountain will cooperate fully!" Zhang Changhen's words granted Mao Ying significant authority.

As the captain of the outer courtyard's enforcement team, he could even command the inner courtyard when necessary. That was quite some authority.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

"That damn skeleton just won't go away," Lu Yan muttered.

In the far north, Ye Hua sneezed. Someone was probably cursing him behind his back. Could it be those old 'friends'?

"Ye Hua, you haven't caught a cold, have you?" Qing Ya asked with concern, reaching out to touch Ye Hua's forehead, which felt slightly warm.

Seeing Qing Ya's actions, Ye Hua shook his head and said, "Qing Ya, when have you ever seen me catch a cold?"

Qing Yatong, who was looking at herself in a small mirror nearby and was captivated by her own appearance, chimed in, "That's right, brother-in-law never covers himself at night. How could he not catch a cold?"

Donghuang Baizhi looked puzzled and asked, "He doesn't cover himself at night?"

Qing Yatong put down the small mirror and playfully said, "Sister Baizhi, does my brother-in-law cover himself when he's poking you?"

Donghuang Baizhi blushed, even though they were currently sharing a large blanket. The Empress still felt quite shy.

Qing Ya gave her younger sister a stern look. "You have no filter, do you?"

On the side, Daji blushed as well.

"Achoo!" Ye Hua sneezed again.

"Master, are you alright?" Daji asked with concern.

Ye Hua felt a slight buzzing in his head after that last sneeze.

"I'm fine," Ye Hua shook his head, feeling a bit strange. 'Could it be that I've actually caught a cold?'

However, Qing Yutong suddenly exclaimed, "Brother-in-law, you have a runny nose..."

Following Qing Yutong's exclamation, Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi also looked over, their eyebrows furrowing instantly.

Ye Hua reached up to touch his nose and was shocked.

'I, the Supreme Overlord, am actually having a runny nose? How could this be possible? Could it really be because I didn't cover myself?'

"Achoo!" Ye Hua suddenly sneezed again, and his entire body was thrown backward, stuck against the wall, unable to come down.

The four women were dumbfounded.

It took them a moment to react.

"Ye Hua!"

"Ye Hua!"

"Brother-in-law!"

"Master!"

The four women quickly lifted Ye Hua off the wall. They found that he had fainted. Qing Ya reached out to feel Ye Hua's forehead.

It was burning hot...

Just a moment ago, it wasn't this hot.

"Brother-in-law has actually caught a real cold, and he has a high fever... How is this possible?" Qing Yutong was in shock. She knew about her brother-in-law's strength; he was practically invincible. Yet, he had inexplicably caught a cold.

Could it really be because he didn't cover himself and caught a chill at night?

Qing Ya quickly carried Ye Hua into the room, and she, along with Donghuang Baizhi, started to administer treatment.

But it had no effect...

Although the treatment didn't work, Ye Hua woke up. He felt extremely weak, as if he had completely drained of energy, like he had gone through a complete exhaustion.

"What's happening to me?" Ye Hua murmured.

"Ye Hua, you have caught a cold," Qing Ya said with aching concern, sitting by the bedside, holding Ye Hua's hand. It was the first time she had seen him so weak.

"It's impossible... How could I catch a cold?" Ye Hua refused to believe it. He couldn't imagine a day when he would catch a cold.

Donghuang Baizhi said with a serious tone, "Ye Hua, we need to go back right away."

"Go back for what? Can this minor cold defeat me? That's just wishful thinking," Ye Hua sat up, but he suddenly felt dizzy.

'Damn it, could it be that I've actually caught a cold?'

"Brother-in-law, don't worry. Yutong has some Four Seasons Cold Capsules and amoxicillin here. Luckily, I brought some when I came over," Qing Yutong rushed to get some water and administered the medication to Ye Hua.

Ye Hua couldn't help but wonder if these medicines were really effective.

"Master, what's happening to you? Is there anything I can do to help?" Daji asked anxiously. As a servant, she felt completely helpless when her master was ill, even to the point of wanting to die.

Donghuang Baizhi was still worried, "Ye Hua, I'll go fetch Wei Chang to take a look at you."

Before Ye Hua could respond, Donghuang Baizhi had already disappeared. Ye Hua actually wanted to say that there was no need for that; he could have come with just one call.

It didn't take long for Wei Chang to arrive.

Ye Hua immediately whispered something to Wei Chang.
