The expression on his face was still very serious.

"Where did you get the money?"

The woman coughed twice as she asked.

The little boy bowed his head slightly and refused to answer.

"Naturally, it was stolen."

Ye Xingchen did not have a trace of emotion in his tone.

When the little boy heard this, he immediately turned his head and saw the three of them.

Immediately fell to his knees in fright.

The little boy knelt down step by step and walked to Ye Xingchen's side and grabbed his trouser legs.

"Please, this money is certainly nothing to you, but for me, it is to save my mother's life."

The little boy said.

There was a bit of infarction in his voice.

With the last of her strength, the woman on the bed sat up.

"Dog, give them back the money."

The woman said it must have been too angry and coughed again.

The little boy hurriedly ran to the woman's side.

"I know, I know, I'll give them back the money now, don't be angry."

The little boy said, and hurriedly took out the complete bag of silver coins from under the pillow on the side and handed it to Ye Xingchen.

"I'm so sorry, I really can't help it."

The little boy said.

Ye Xingchen frowned slightly, and gave the bag of silver money to Bai Yanran.

However, Bai Yanran felt compassion.

Although the boy's behavior was very hateful, his intentions were good.

Ye Xingchen squinted slightly, and it was as he guessed.

That woman was really demonic.

Ordinary medicine naturally can't cure it.

Ye Xingchen slowly walked to the woman's side, and the little boy immediately used his thin body to go in front of people.

"I know it's wrong for me to steal money, if you want to beat or scold, it's all on me, don't do anything to my mother."

When the little boy said this, there was a hint of determination in his eyes.

Ye Xingchen frowned slightly.

He had always disliked telling people why he did it.

It was only when he saw the little boy's expression.

He couldn't help but explain.

"Your mother was taken by something, and the medicine formed can't be treated, if you really want to save him, let me try it."

Ye Xingchen said.

Bai Wuchang on the side immediately said.

"Yes, yes, you can leave it to him, he is an alchemist."

As soon as the little boy heard the three words alchemist that Bai Wuchang said, his eyes instantly lit up.

Indeed, during this time, he tried countless methods and gave his mother countless medicines, but there was still no improvement.

On the contrary, the situation is getting worse by the day.

If the person in front of him is really an alchemist, maybe he really has a way.

The little boy knew he had nothing of value left in him.

Ye Xingchen didn't need to lie to him at all.

The little boy pursed his lips slightly and looked at the woman lying on the bed.

The woman coughed lightly twice, then raised her head slightly and said to Ye Xingchen.

"I'll leave it to you, thank you."

The woman said.

Ye Xingchen nodded slightly and said to the people on the side.

"Let's all go out first."

Bai Yanran nodded, then pulled the little boy and Bai Wuchang out of the room and closed the door.

The woman coughed twice and asked softly.

"This young man, am I hopeless, you just said that just to make my child feel at ease, right?"

The woman said.

However, Ye Xingchen shook his head slightly.

"I am indeed an alchemist, and I can indeed be somewhat sure of your illness, as long as you believe in me enough."

Ye Xingchen said.

The woman bowed her head slightly.

After thinking for a while, he slowly raised his head.

"Yes, I do."

Ye Xingchen nodded slightly.

"Where did your mother go before?"

Bai Yanran asked, he could see that Ye Xingchen's face had changed slightly when he saw the woman just now.

What comes to mind?

The little boy frowned slightly. ”

"I've been to the city lord once before."

The little boy said.

Bai Yanran frowned slightly and continued to ask.

"Did it become like this after going to the City Lord's Mansion?"

The little boy pondered for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

Then it was added.

"Because of the perennial drought in our city, food is very scarce, and ordinary families like us can't eat food, so the city lord's mansion will distribute food to us once a month."

The little boy said.

Bai Wuchang's eyes rolled slightly.

"So after your mother went to get the food, it became like this when she came back?"

The little boy nodded slightly.

"But the leader of the group is a good man, and we refugees have survived until now thanks to him, who is our great good man in our city."

When the little boy talked about this city lord, he seemed to admire it very much.

"Can you take us to meet the city lord?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.

Ye Xingchen walked behind the little boy at some point.

When the little boy saw Ye Xingchen, he immediately asked excitedly.

"How's my mother?"

Ye Xingchen touched his head and said softly.

"Don't worry, there's nothing going on, and it will probably be restored tomorrow."

When the little boy heard this, tears could not help but flow from his eyes.

He hugged Ye Xingchen.

"They really didn't lie, you are really an alchemist."

The corners of Ye Xingchen's mouth were slightly hooked.

He had just examined the marks on the woman's body.

Sure enough.

It's really demonic.

It turns out that the demonic energy of the Heavenly Domain has been so rampant?

But if that's the case, why don't those sects care about it?

Ye Xingchen's brows furrowed slightly.

Said slowly to the little boy.

"Your mother needs a certain amount of time to rest now, can you tell us where the City Lord's Mansion is first?"

Ye Xingchen said.

His brow furrowed slightly.

Maybe this demonic aura has something to do with the City Lord's Mansion.

He must investigate this matter, if it really came into their bodies through food.

Then now the whole city is in danger.

The little boy hesitated, then nodded slowly.

"Then I'll take you there."

The little boy said Ye Xingchen shook his head slightly.

"No, you can take care of your mother here, just tell us where it is."

Ye Xingchen said to look for it.

The little boy nodded slightly, pointed to the bamboo forest, and said slowly in the direction of that side.

"It's just north, and if you can't find it, ask the pedestrians on the street, and they'll tell you."

Ye Xingchen nodded slightly, and left the bamboo forest with the two of them.

"Brother Ye, do you suspect that these things have something to do with that city lord?"

Ye Xingchen nodded slightly.

"I just took a closer look at the problem in the woman's body, and I found that he was affected by demonic energy."

Ye Xingchen said.
