Chapter 104 The Centipede Curse
Upon hearing River Yu’s words, Chris’s face darkened, and he turned to Daniel with a demand for clarification. “Are you planning on feeding me this foul insect?”
“This Fate Seeker would sell for a million, and it’s not even for certain I would sell one. As for eating
ng it-
Mr. Chris, don’t get your hopes up. This particular Fate Seeker is the king among its kin, one in a million, Éven if you offered a hundred million, I wouldn’t sell it. The most I would do, out of respect for your daughter, is let you smell it to lure out the two centipedes in your stomach.” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
River Yu burst into raucous laughter once more at Daniel’s declaration. After regaining his composure, he taunted Chris, “Mr. Chris, did you hear that? You’re not even worthy of eating this insect–just smelling it!”
His mockery lit a fire in Chris, who pointed at Daniel’s nose and roared, “Who said I want to eat your stinking bug? Take your disgusting insect and get out! I’m not cursed; I don’t need you!”
“Fine!” Daniel replied, cheerfully packing away the Fate Seeker, “Sure!”
With that, he turned to leave, but Isabella blocked his path. She looked at him earnestly and said with urgency, “You have to lift the curse from my father.”
“You saw just now–I’m not unwilling, but he simply doesn’t believe me.”
“If you draw the worms out of my father’s stomach, then he’ll believe.”
“Alright!”
Daniel felt obligated to comply, considering the offer involving The grass of tamed dragon–a plant that could grant him command over the seven dragon spirits manifested from within him. With it, he would have the power of seven dragons at his disposal.

The grass of sealed dragon was meant to suppress the seven dragon spirits to save his life. The grass of awaken dragon’s purpose was to rouse the dragon spirits from their slumber. But The grass of tamed dragon could bring them under direct control.
All in all, Daniel needed to acquire all three.
Approaching Chris, Daniel placed the Fate Seeker onto his chest.
River Yu scoffed at the attempt, “You think that withered insect can break the curse? What a joke!” He staunchly refused to believe that a bug haphazardly glued together could undo his centipede curse.
The curse he had placed on Chris was no ordinary centipede curse; it was the pairing curse of both a male and a female centipede. Inside Chris’s belly, they would merge and then separate; poisoned equilibrium kept by their perpetual union and division.
As such, River Yu could manipulate Chris’s condition at will. If he wanted Chris to feel comfort, he would. If he desired Chris’s suffering, he’d make it so.
As Daniel positioned the Fate Seeker on his chest, Chris was about to protest but instead caught a whiff of a strange, alluring scent. It clouded his mind, stealing away his desire to speak.

The mysterious aroma seemed to roil in his stomach, as if worms were writhing. Then, an alien sensation crawled up his throat. And then, a dark, segmented head wriggled out from his open mouth.
