Death… and me

Chapter 840: The Biggest Parasite

Surprisingly, everyone looked at Agis with a weird expression, including Roan, prompting Agis to ask, “Wh-What? Is it really that unbelievable?”

Rean, Qia, and Calina immediately nodded. “Well, it is. However, we’re not talking about you.”

Those words confused Agis even more, though. “What do you mean by that?”

The three of them then looked at Malaka. 

“It’s just that I would ever imagine her to have a relationship her whole life.”

“I thought Malaka would die alone.”

“I thought she despised men in secret.”

Malaka’s mouth twitched in response. “Just what kind of image did you have of me?”

“The annoying type,” Rean, Qia, and Calina answered in unison. 

“Hubby! Will you let them talk like that about your wife?” Malaka asked Agis with puppy eyes.

However, Agis scratched the back of his head, saying, “Well, they do have a point.”

Malaka felt like crying already. “Hmph! You’ll see! I’m a very good girlfriend! The best one ever!”

Rean looked outside, completely ignoring Malaka’s words as he said, “Such good weather outside. Don’t you guys think so as well?”

Everyone nodded, Agis included, much to Malaka’s helplessness. Well, you reap what you sow. It’s not like her actions up to this day helped out at all. Nevertheless, it looked like she was serious this time. “Fine! Then, let’s have a kid! They’ll have to accept that I’m not joking if we do.”

*Pah!* Roan immediately slapped the back of her head, telling her, “Kid, your head! What’s the point of a kid taking care of another kid? Grow up before coming with such ideas again.”

Malaka felt truly helpless at this point. “That’s enough! I’m leaving this place. Since no one trusts me, then there’s no point in continuing here. You guys didn’t even notice my cultivation at the Middle Stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. You’re all despicable.”

Calina quickly hugged Malaka as she apologized, “Alright, alright. We’re sorry. It’s just that no one expected it to happen. However, it seems like Agis is quite serious as well.”

Agis nodded as he replied, “Well, I already took care of this lost cause for a few years since we separated, so I guess I’m already used to it. In a certain way, I just prefer to keep things that way.”

Malaka glanced at Agis and asked, “Is that how you tell someone you love them?”

Agis shrugged his shoulders, saying in response, “It’s not like you would truly speak in a serious manner either. Or are you saying I’m wrong?”

Malaka couldn’t find an excuse. “Hmm… that’s true.” After that, she went back to Agis’s side when out of nowhere, she stumbled on her steps. Surprisingly, that was enough for her to hit the ground.

Rean didn’t find it funny, though. “Malaka, aren’t you forcing your jokes a little too much? Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivators like you can’t fall like that. Even if you really tripped, you could stop yourself from hitting the ground by just flying.”

Calina, Qia, and Roan nodded. None of them believed that she really fell that easily.

“No, I wasn’t pretending. It’s just that I felt dizzy for a moment,” Malaka explained.

Agis immediately narrowed his eyes after hearing that, before saying, “Again? How many times has that happened already? It’s been happening for a few weeks already. Are you sure you didn’t get hit on the head or something during the war?”

However, Rean and Roan’s mouths twitched when they heard that as Rean could not help but say, “You guys must be joking.”

Malaka shook her head, though. “I’m not. I tried to use Spiritual Sense to feel my head, but I couldn’t find any internal injury. That was one of the reasons we came back as soon as we got a transportation method. I wanted Rean to use his Light Element to heal my body. Wherever the problem might be, his Light Element could heal it.”

Agis, Qia, and Calina nodded in unison. Indeed. For Rean, at the moment, even lost limbs could be restored.

However, Rean and Roan looked at each other, obviously with the same idea in their heads. Eventually, Roan sighed before asking, “Rean, just examine her already. It might just be a coincidence.”

Rean nodded as he called Malaka over. “Alright, let’s see what’s going on.” Soon after, Light Element burst out of his body and entered Malaka’s. Malaka already knew the euphoric side-effect of Rean’s ability, so she held herself back to not moan at that moment.”

After some time, Rean sighed as he nodded back at Roan, telling him, “Welp, it seems to be the case.”

“Wh-What? What’s wrong with me?” Seeing Rean and Roan’s dark expressions, Malaka felt somewhat apprehensive.

Hearing Malaka’s words, Rean looked back at her to give an answer, telling her, “What you have is a parasite.”

“Parasite?” Those words surprised everyone in the room. “That’s a bad thing, right? Quick! Use Roan’s Dark Element to destroy it!” Naturally, they knew how Rean’s Purification skill worked. It used Light Element to protect the body while the Dark Element got rid of any harmful property present.

However, Rean immediately shook his head, saying in response, “Can’t do that. After all, this is the biggest parasite known by the human race. It sucks the host’s nutrients so that it can grow. There’s nothing I can do about that.”

Malaka was already freaking out, not knowing how she got such a thing inside her. “Bu-but! I don’t know how I got it! I did suffer a few injuries while fighting the Zasfins, but I don’t think any of them had a skill capable of doing such a thing.”

Rean agreed with Malaka, saying, “Indeed. It wasn’t the Zasfins.” Right after, Rean pointed at Agis and exclaimed, “Believe it or not, he

s the culprit!”

Agis was taken aback. “Me? Impossible! I truly consider her an important person to me.”

Roan finally lost his patience with Rean’s jokes after that. “Stop wasting time and tell them the truth, for fuck’s sake.”

Malaka couldn’t help but ask, “You were lying?! How could you! I really thought I was dying!”

However, Rean shook his head as he burst out in laugher. “Hahaha! I’m not lying. What you have really is a parasite. Or, to be more specific, a parasite that most women would love their entire lives.”

“A parasite that we love?” Those worlds only puzzled Malaka, Qia, and Calina even more.

“Yes. It’s the biggest parasite that can inhabit the human body. It’s also known as a… baby!”
