Chapter 449
He was still holding the Undead Corpse Kingâs hand.
That was the position he had been assuming ever since they exited the tomb of the King of Medicine.
The phrase âunbearable painâ was the best way to describe his current state.
âLetâs go!â
Everyone resumed their journey after Nash issued the order.
After setting out, they traveled non-stop for four days straight.
They traveled by day and also by night with the help of torches.
They drank from the mountain springs when they got thirsty and killed animals not under protection when they got hungry.
The non-stop journey exhausted them thoroughly.
However, they managed to return to Madam Lunarisâ shop before sunset on the fourth day.
âMadam Lunaris⦠please prepare us an entire tableâs worth of food⦠Please be generous with the seasoningsâ¦â
Nico was so excited that he began calling out to Madam Lunaris right after they entered the courtyard.
After four days of having nothing but bland food, he felt like his tongue was going to fall from his mouth.
Derek said weakly, âMadam Lunaris⦠Save meâ¦
He turned and showed his butt to Madam Lunaris after he finished his sentence.
Madam Lunaris was having tea at the table.
After she saw the hand sticking out from Derekâs bottom, she smiled and asked, âDoes it feel good, young man?â
Good?
How the hell could it feel good?!
He was already very lucky that he had not died during the journey, and she still had the gall to ask him if it felt good?!
Derek cursed to himself inwardly, but all he dared to do was pout and say, âPlease, Madam Lunaris⦠Please save me⦠It feels like my arm is about to rust!â
Madam Lunaris picked up her wine glass from the table and upended its contents.
The wine landed on the dismembered hand, which began smoking.
All sorts of expressions appeared on Derekâs face as the hand began waggling.
With a splat, the dismembered hand landed on the ground.
Both the index and middle fingers were covered in blood.
Derekâs legs gave out as he collapsed to the ground.
He had lost all feeling in his arm.
However, it felt so wonderful to have this weight taken off of him.
âNumber Six⦠Help him disinfect his intestinesâ¦â
Madam Lunaris turned and yelled toward the kitchen.
A plump man who was wearing an apron and prepping food turned to look at Derek.
He slashed his knife against the pig intestines laid on top of the chopping block.
Derek felt his heartbeat quicken.
Disinfect his intestines?
How were they going to do that?
The plump man made his way over to Derek and swung him into his arms.
Nico burst out laughing. âSir, please be careful. This is Derekâs first experience!â
âStop cracking jokes at my expense!â Derek yelled in indignance.
He could feel blood seeping from his bottom whenever he tried to exert even the slightest bit of strength.
He hurriedly tightened his sphincter muscles and fell silent.
Madam Lunaris looked at the withered hand on the ground and asked, âThis is excellent stuff. Are you sure you donât want it?â
She looked up at everyone else around her.
âWho the hell would want something like this? Iâd already be dead if I hadnât arrived in the nick of time!â
Finn shook his head, unsure if he should smile or laugh.
Melody and Heidi also had the same reactions. They had even backed away so much they were standing behind Nash now.
âWould you like it, Ken?â Nash asked abruptly as he turned to speak to Ken.
âNash⦠is this something that can be kept?â Finn asked as he hunched his shoulders.
Finn was one of his disciples, and he did not want his future disciples to carry the Undead Corpse Kingâs dismembered hand in their bags.
Nash smiled. âItâs indeed something that would be wonderful to own. You could even treat it as a pet if you can handle it!â it!â
