I Am Unstoppable

Mauve stared at Simon in a daze. At that moment, she finally understood his sacrifice and no longer pondered whether he loved her or not. The fact that he was willing to do all these things for her spoke volumes.

Simon then continued, “Don't blame yourself, Mauve. You're just an ordinary girl, and it would be cruel to lock you in a place like this. But I'm different. I'm a cultivator, so that will make it easier for me to spend ten or twenty years here. Besides, I believe that I'll be able to leave this place one day.”

“Then I shall wait for you here and leave with you,” Mauve responded.

Simon replied, “I don't need you to wait for me. Don't you understand? You should go back to living a normal life. When I said I wanted you to be my woman earlier, it was just a lie.”

Tears welled up in Mauve's eyes as she whispered, “But I took it seriously.”

Simon fell silent.

After what seemed like an eternity, Simon said, “Mauve, here's what we'll do. You will leave this place first. You need to at least inform your parents that you're safe and report the death of your classmate. Then, tell me where you live. If I can leave this place one day, I'll come to find you. But I don't know when that day will be, so I won't blame you even if you get married and have children with someone else. You don't have to feel burdened if you do so.”

“Does that mean you'll marry me if I'm still single on the day you come looking for me?” Mauve asked.

Simon nodded. “Yes!”

“Okay, I'll wait for you. Whether it's a year or ten years, I'll wait for you. I'll wait for you forever until the day you come for me!” Mauve vowed resolutely.

As Simon looked at the seemingly delicate girl who possessed an astonishing determination, he knew that she would never want a future with another man in her lifetime.

“Why do you have to do this?” Simon sighed softly as he asked.

“Because I'm foolish. Because I've set my heart on you, and I won't fall for anyone else,” Mauve said tearfully.

Simon was left with no words.

However, at that moment, he suddenly felt unwell.

When Mauve saw the change in expression on his face, she was frightened. “What is it, Simon?”

Simon replied, “I'm okay. Just leave me be.” He quickly sat down cross-legged and started to check his condition.

Soon enough, he realized that the holy king silkworm within his body was changing because it could not withstand his vampire blood.

Gradually, the holy king silkworm was reduced to a puddle of blood.

Simon's heart sank. Although he had no idea how the holy king silkworm's poison would affect him, his current situation seemed extremely unfavorable.

As Leahra's powerful blood started to assimilate the puddle of blood left by the holy king silkworm, the two forces merged, causing Simon to feel as if all his internal organs were stabbed by knives.

Mauve watched as Simon's face turned pale and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

However, Simon's body was back to normal after five minutes.

He couldn't really describe the sensation, but he felt as if the holy king silkworm had turned into some form of nourishment that entered his cerebral domain.

After feeling a slight tremor in his cerebral domain, he felt nothing else.

The holy king silkworm was different from the golden king silkworm.

The golden king silkworm was a poisonous parasite with toxins all over. It didn't have much blood, so Leahra's blood couldn't assimilate it.

On the other hand, the essence of the holy king silkworm was its blood, which happened to be assimilated by Leahra's blood.

As for the poison of the holy king silkworm, it was eventually assimilated together and transformed into nourishment.

However, the nourishment didn't turn into combat force.

Simon had no idea what effect this nourishment would have on his cerebral domain, but one thing that he knew for sure was that he was no longer under the control of the holy king silkworm.

As Simon's eyes fluttered open, Mauve hurriedly asked with concern, “How are you feeling, Simon?”

Simon let out a rare smile. “I'm fine now. I have assimilated the holy king silkworm. We can leave this place now.”

“Really? That's great!” Mauve exclaimed happily. Overjoyed, she leaped up, but her feet hurt so much the next second that tears streamed down her face.

Simon didn't know whether to reprimand her or laugh. “Let's go. I'll carry you.”

Mauve nodded, but she became worried again. “But will Marlington King let us leave?”

“He can't stop me,” Simon assured her.

Relieved by Simon's words, Mauve got onto his back.

Meanwhile, Marlington King had been sitting outside Holy Maiden Cave.

The moment Simon and Mauve emerged from the cave, Marlington King stood up, looking horrified.

“How can you leave Holy Maiden Cave, Simon? If the holy king silkworm dies in your body, you will die too!”

Simon glanced at Marlington King and replied, “Well, I have already assimilated the holy king silkworm.”

“That's impossible!” Marlington King exclaimed in disbelief. “No one can assimilate the holy king silkworm.”

“Feel free to check my pulse if you don't believe me,” Simon said calmly as he offered his hand to Marlington King.

When Marlington King reached out to check Simon's pulse unsuspectingly, Simon was confident that he could kill him at that instant.

However, as Simon glanced at Mauve beside him, he realized that he didn't want to kill anyone in front of her. Hence, he held back his intention to kill Marlington King.

On the other hand, Simon wasn't afraid that Marlington King would pull something on him because he was not someone who would do that.

If Marlington King truly intended to harm Simon, he could have made his move when Simon and Mauve were together.

If Marlington King had used his parasites on Simon then, the latter would have died.

Marlington King held onto Simon's pulse for a full thirty seconds. Then, a look of astonishment flashed across his face.

“How is this possible?” Marlington King looked at Simon in shock. “You are now Parasite King. According to the ancient prophecy, Heavenly Cave is to follow the lead of Parasite King when he is born. Can it be that you are the one we have been waiting for all along?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Simon looked at him confusedly.

Marlington King released Simon's hand, his face filled with a mix of excitement and fear.

Marlington King took a deep breath. After collecting his thoughts, he began, “Heavenly Cave has been passed down through generations. We have been guarding this mountain for over a thousand years. Our ancestors' instruction is to never leave this mountain. Those who violated the rule and left the mountain during this period all met unfortunate ends. However, a prophecy states that the people of Heavenly Cave will be able to leave the mountain under the Parasite King's lead after he is born. I believe you are the king.”

“What Parasite King?” Simon was confused. He had no idea how he became Parasite King suddenly.

“Look!” Marlington King said. He abruptly turned his hand over and revealed his palm, which contained two unknown parasites.
