Chapter 269: Chapter 234: Golden Pearl (Part 2)

The Golden Silkworm King struggled to swallow the mulberry leaf in its mouth, then shook its plump round body.

“You ignorant lot, the Golden Silkworm King eats slowly and carefully, don’t you know?”

It leisurely crawled out from the pile of mulberry leaves and then crawled in front of Luna Sutton.

“Since you’ve served me so sincerely, I’ll reluctantly grant you a body immune to all poisons.”

Luna Sutton raised an eyebrow, “How will you grant it?”

The Golden Silkworm King didn’t speak, but suddenly spat out a golden shiny bead with a “poof”.

“Swallow it.”

The Golden Silkworm King pushed the bead towards Luna Sutton with its tail, “It will protect you from all poisons, even the most toxic Red Flame Sand of The Centipede Clan won’t harm you.”

She was stunned for a moment, looking somewhat puzzled: The Centipede Clan? What kind of clan is that? Why does the name sound so strange?”

Mael Valerius looked at her with his dark golden eyes and explained softly, “It’s the centipede clan, called The Centipede Clan because of their many legs.”

With this explanation, Luna Sutton instantly understood. Ah, centipedes, indeed quite toxic.

They are one of the five poisons, how could they not be toxic?

She stared at the golden bead, hesitating.

The Golden Silkworm King saw her hesitation and impatiently wriggled its plump body: “What? Afraid I’ll poison you?”

“No…”

She picked up the bead, but it was suddenly snatched away by Malachi Arcanus: “I’ll test the poison for Luna first!”

“Are you crazy!”

Luna Sutton jumped up to snatch it back; after all, this was a chance to be immune to all poisons.

During their tussle, the golden bead flew out with a “whoosh” and landed directly in Corbin Crowley’s open mouth.

He looked shocked and instinctively tried to spit the bead out.

But who would have thought that the golden bead would instantly melt upon entering his mouth, turning into a liquid that flowed down his throat.

Corbin Crowley’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his silver eyes widened slightly; clearly, he hadn’t expected this to happen.

Luna Sutton stood there dumbstruck, her mouth twitching: “Well…okay?”

She thought to herself, this blasted man truly has the fortune of a protagonist, the kind that picks up treasures just by walking down the street.

Clearly, it was her own thing, yet it bounced right into his mouth, if this isn’t luck, then what is?

Corbin Crowley himself was also stunned, a trace of bewilderment flashing in his silver eyes,

then transforming into deep helplessness. He looked at Luna Sutton, a wry smile appearing on his lips: “It seems I’m destined to test poison for you.”

“Test poison?”

Luna Sutton laughed out loud, “You’ve got that wrong, this is a treasure that makes you immune to all poisons, you’ve hit the jackpot!”

Malachi Arcanus didn’t say much, “Who tests the poison doesn’t matter right?”

However, thinking about Corbin Crowley gaining the ability to be immune to all poisons made him a bit envious.

The Golden Silkworm King laughed so hard it rolled on the ground: “Hahaha, this is fate!”

Rhys Blackwood looked at Corbin Crowley expressionlessly: “How do you feel?”

Corbin Crowley felt the changes within him, his silver eyes flickering: “No particular feeling.”

“That’s because you haven’t encountered poison yet.”

Kian Sterling interjected with a smile, cursing Malachi Arcanus inwardly for being meddlesome, what was the point in snatching?

Now Corbin Crowley had the advantage.

Though he was disgruntled that Corbin Crowley swallowed the golden bead, he still maintained a gentle smile: “But since Corbin already swallowed it, shouldn’t the Golden Silkworm King spit another one out?”

The Golden Silkworm King immediately shrank back into the pile of mulberry leaves: “Wishful thinking, it takes me three hundred years to condense one golden bead!”

Luna Sutton held her forehead, turning to Corbin Crowley: “Fine, if you swallowed it, then so be it, anyway…”

Before she finished her sentence, Mael Valerius’s dragon tail swept the Golden Silkworm King into a corner: “Spit out another one, or I’ll roast you.”

The Golden Silkworm King’s plump body rolled on the ground a few times, “Ouch, that hurts! Even if you want another one, I can’t spit another, but I can teach you to cultivate a poison-immune larva!”

Zeke Veridian squinted his jade-green eyes: “How long would that take?”

“Uh… about fifty years…”

The Golden Silkworm King wriggled its fat body uncertainly.

“Roast it then.”

Rhys Blackwood said coldly.

“Wait!”

The Golden Silkworm King was sweating with anxiety, “Actually, there’s another method!”

It wriggled its fat body and crawled to Luna Sutton’s feet: “I can secrete a little golden silk every day, although it’s slow, little by little it will accumulate…”

Luna Sutton looked down at the Golden Silkworm King at her feet: “When would all that add up?”

“That’s not your concern, just come collect some every day.”

The Golden Silkworm King hurriedly said, afraid she would disagree.

Luna Sutton thought for a moment, secreting a little each day, though small, was better than nothing.

Besides, she couldn’t stay in this cave waiting for the Golden Silkworm King to spit out a second golden bead.

So, she nodded: “Alright, it’s settled, but from now on, you’re coming with me. Once you have accumulated enough golden silk to form a second golden bead, I’ll let you go.”

“This…this doesn’t seem right?”

The Golden Silkworm King’s plump body trembled slightly, clearly unwilling.

After all, it was a sacred treasure of The Veno-Herbalist Clan, how could it live its days following a female?

Luna Sutton raised an eyebrow: “What? Not willing?”

She gestured to reach for a torch nearby, “If you’re unwilling, we’ll just roast you, you’re not much use left like this.”

“No, no, no!”

The Golden Silkworm King shivered in fright and quickly crawled further away, “I’m willing, I’m willing, isn’t that okay?”

It felt bitter inside, thinking that it, a sacred treasure of The Veno-Herbalist Clan, had fallen to such a state.

She smiled with satisfaction, “Smart choice.”

She pulled out a delicate little bamboo basket from her system inventory and placed a handful of mulberry leaves inside it: “You’ll stay here from now on.”

The Golden Silkworm King accepted its fate and crawled into the bamboo basket, its plump body rolled over the mulberry leaves, finding a comfortable position to lie down.

“Alright, let it be so then.”

It sighed and closed its eyes to start spinning silk.

Fine strands of golden silk gradually piled up in the bamboo basket, shimmering with a soft light.

Luna Sutton watched this scene, a happy smile tugging at her lips.

In her view, keeping the Golden Silkworm King by her side was far more useful than getting a single golden bead.

Whether poisoning or detoxifying, it would be convenient in the future.

And she’d never have to fear the curse of that old sorceress Ignatius Phoenix again.

Thinking of this, she felt very pleased and turned to the men standing at the entrance of the cave.

“Don’t just stand there, go off and do whatever you need to.”

At her words, Corbin Crowley and the others all looked at her.

Silver eyes, black eyes, green eyes, dark golden eyes, and a pair of enchanting fox eyes, with various emotions flickering within them.

Feeling a bit uneasy under their gaze, Luna Sutton couldn’t help but touch her face: “Why are you all staring at me? Is there a flower on my face?”

Malachi Arcanus whistled, “Luna had a great haul today, not only breaking a curse but also gaining such a treasure.”

He reached out to touch the Golden Silkworm King but was halted by a spray of golden silk from the creature, forcing him to awkwardly retract his hand.
