Chapter 208: The disaster-reducing insects are reversible
"Belief?"

Jiang Ang repeated these two words. He thought he would have to sacrifice his life or soul, but he didn't expect that faith would be enough. He knelt down and said, "From now on, I will devoutly believe in you and worship you."

Luo Mingyue said "hmm", and then said: "Believers should help each other. If you meet the people of Mojia Village in the future, you can get closer to them."

Jiang Ang nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, Immortal!"

Luo Mingyue’s head disappeared into the horizon.

Ye Keke also disappeared. She was not interested in the little people's beliefs and only liked to feed insects.

Luo Mingyue came to the sky above Mojia Village and transformed into a little man with the help of the statue.

Kong Han used a wooden box to "transport" Luo Mingyue to Hulu Town.

Luo Mingyue was very familiar with the layout of the town. She came to the home of the mother and daughter in her memory, tiptoed on the ground, and easily crossed the courtyard wall.

The statue's body has no spiritual power or magic, but it has the power of faith. Not only is it as light as a swallow, it also knows a little bit of "magic". Luo Mingyue opened the door easily and walked in. She saw a mother and daughter sleeping in the room. The mother was holding her daughter in her arms, and her sleeping face was peaceful and quiet.

Luo Mingyue walked out of the room and closed the door quietly.

She returned to Mojia Village, put the statue back in place, and returned to her original form.

Ye Keke asked: "Master, what's the situation?"

Luo Mingyue said: "The mother and daughter insects also turned back into humans..."

Ye Keke was struck by lightning, her body swaying, "So, the bugs didn't hide, but really all turned into humans..."

Kong Han quickly stepped forward and helped her up, "Keke, are you okay?"

Ye Keke's face was filled with sorrow. She stared at the ten remaining bugs on the street and said, "These are the only pets I will have from now on. I will have no more..."

Luo Mingyue said: "If you really like to feed me, how about I let you feed Baishan Village?"

Ye Keke shook her head and said, "No need. It's actually a good thing that the bugs have turned back into humans. I just can't accept it for a while. After all, I have already developed feelings for them. I am happy for them in my heart... But why did they change like this?"

Luo Mingyue was not sure either. She thought for a moment and said, "I still remember the Prophet told me that this kind of insect is called a disaster-resilient insect. It is also a different kind of awakener. If a house catches fire, someone in the house may suddenly awaken their blood power and become a bug that is not afraid of fire. Similarly, when someone is about to starve to death, their blood awakens and they will also become bugs. Their characteristic is that they can survive without eating or drinking... In short, there are many types of disaster-resilient insects, but they all have a common characteristic, which is to enhance the adaptability of the body so that they can survive even in harsh environments."

Ye Keke asked: "What kind of [disaster-resilient insects] are these insects in the town?"

Luo Mingyue said: "It should be a bug that is not afraid of hunger."

Kong Han said: "But they have big appetites every night. If they are really not afraid of hunger, why do they eat?"

Luo Mingyue said: "Not being afraid of hunger and being able to starve to death are two different things. They will be hungry, but they will not starve to death, so they will wander outside every night looking for food. If they can't find food, they will turn people into their own kind, resulting in many more insects in this town..."

Ye Keke said, "I understand. This kind of bug appeared in order for humans to deal with disasters. When the disaster disappears, the bugs will also disappear? Maybe the first bug in the town awakened the bloodline of the [Disaster-Responding Bug] because it was too hungry, but during this period of time, it ate a lot of food every night and would not starve to death, so the bugs gradually turned back into humans..."

Luo Mingyue said: "I guess so, but I don't know if I'm right."

Kong Han asked, "Then why are there still ten worms that haven't transformed back?" Ye Keke said, "It must be because these ten worms are picky eaters and don't eat well every night, so they still maintain their worm appearance."

Kong Han said: "That's impossible. Look at the remaining ten worms. Each one is fatter than the other..."

Ye Keke scratched his head and said, "I don't understand this either. Maybe it's because the food at night was too good, so they subconsciously don't want to change back?"

As she spoke, she put down another bowl of vegetables.

Ten worms were crawling and wriggling around the vegetable basin, making resentful sounds:

“No… it’s not tasty…”

"Beef... I love beef... I want braised beef, not stewed beef..."

"I want to eat braised pork trotters and blanched Chinese cabbage, hehehe... I don't want to eat carrots or tofu..."

The insects babbled.

Kong Han was silent for a moment, then said, "...have they learned how to order food now?"

Ye Keke looked embarrassed, "I don't know, they used to eat very quietly and rarely spoke human language."

Luo Mingyue didn't know why these ten worms were an exception. She said, "It's okay. Just feed them first. They are small anyway and can't consume much food."

Ye Keke nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, life is short, enjoy it while you can. Their lifespan is short to begin with, and I want them to live happier in their limited lives. There's no need to worry about the combination of meat and vegetables, or balanced nutrition. I'll just feed them what they want to eat."

Luo Mingyue did not object. When she fed the insects for the first time, she did not think that these insects could turn back into humans... But if you think about it carefully, the insects were originally humans during the day and only turned into insects at night. Now that the night remains the same, does it mean that the [Disaster-Resistant Insects] bloodline in these people's bodies has disappeared?

No, it shouldn’t have disappeared, but rather hidden.

The characteristic of [disaster-resilient insects] is that they are highly contagious, but as for whether they have any lethality... it seems not.

Perhaps one day in the future, when disaster strikes again, these people will turn into insects again. Otherwise, they should be no different from ordinary people.

Luo Mingyue retracted her gaze. When she was looking for the [Shining Star Candle] today, she found that there were still many corpses of sea beasts in her storage space. It was impossible for Luo Mingyue to deal with these bloody "ingredients" by herself, so she thought of her apprentice.

The second apprentice, Murong Shi, is good at cooking.

Calculating the time, it seems that I haven't paid attention to that group of disciples for some time.

However, it was late at night and Luo Mingyue couldn't sneak into the male disciple's room in the middle of the night, so she took out some medicinal herbs and prepared to refine the Qigong Pill.

But just as she was about to leave the room, she heard Song Lu shouting, "Master, there is a little problem in Tianliu Village..."

"What's wrong?" Luo Mingyue turned her head and wondered what day it was tonight. First, the number of insects in Hulu Town decreased, and then something happened in Tianliu Village?
