Chapter 98 Dust Mites

With the dust all blown to a specific corner, Shi Tian was able to swiftly clean up the dust. And thanks to the power of the volume of air from his mechanical right arm, the room seemed to be renewed.

Not a single speck of dust could be seen within the storage room.

Smiling at the work he had done, Shi Tian picked up the bag that was filled with junk and walked toward the exit door. He was going to dump those out once he decided to go out next time.

Placing the bag by the exit door, Shi Tian noticed he was still covered in dust and that it was best to not walk around too much.

Even when he was utilizing his right arm as a leaf blower, he noticed some of the dust on him was blown off, causing him quite the headache to rearrange the dust.

\'Sigh, that Vanessa in the end caused me more trouble than help. I\'m not going to accept her help again.\' Shi Tian exclaimed inwardly.

Sometime later, Vanessa came out of the bathroom, completely freshened, and was wearing new fancy clothes.

Despite that, Shi Tian noticed some redness on her neck and arm.

"What\'s with that redness?" Shi Tian asked, pointing at her arm.

"I don\'t know, but it\'s itching me," Vanessa replied somewhat bitterly.

While she was showering, she noticed her body was getting itchy, so she attempted to wash for a bit longer. Alas, that didn\'t help her condition much as the itch only increased further.

"Are you-"

Before Shi Tian could finish his question, Vanessa shook her head.

"No, I\'m not allergic to dust. But I believe that the dust in the storage room should be something weird that affects my skin. I\'m surprised you aren\'t affected." She then explained before sneezing and coughing.

Shi Tian narrowed his eyes when he saw her sneezing and coughing all of a sudden.

Just when Shi Tian was suspicious of the condition Vanessa was experiencing, he felt a slight pain in his brain.

Instantly, he placed his hand on the temple of his head, hoping to suppress the pain.

There was a buzzing sound as well, but it seemed to be only him that could hear it given that Vanessa was still focused on her redness, unable to notice the experience he was getting.

A few seconds later, the pain that he was getting seemed to have vanished, almost as if it didn\'t happen in the first place.

\'What the hell was that?\' Shi Tian wondered silently, feeling vexed and irritated by the sudden unknown excruciating pain.

While he was confused by that, he glanced back at Vanessa, seemingly trying to see if she noticed the pain he had gone through.

But to his astonishment, Shi Tian nearly received a shock that could send him into cardiac arrest when he saw Vanessa.

Unlike before where he only saw redness on Vanessa\'s skin, this time, he saw a horrifying and grotesque image.

Thankfully, his passive ability [Serene Calmness] kicked in time and helped suppress the emotion he was having.

"Um, Vanessa, I\'m not sure how to tell you this, but your body is filled with dust mites." Shi Tian said it as passively as possible to not alarmed her or scared her.

Although he didn\'t know what happened, his eyes could now see the microscopic dust mites, munching her skin and causing redness to appear in her skin.

The dust mites had a translucent or whitish color and a relatively round oval-shaped body. It had eight legs and its eyes were daunting red as they grouped together within a particular spot of Vanessa\'s skin.

What was worse was that each of these dust mites are microscopic and could not be seen with the naked eye.

And whenever Vanessa attempted to scratch the redness of her skin, these dust mites seemed to have a natural sixth sense, avoiding her touch and returning to their original position once she stopped scratching.

"D-Dust mites?" Vanessa tried her best to stay calm, but her facial expression betrayed her dearly.

Who would be calm when someone told them their body was filled with not just one dust mite, but multiple at that? And they were munching her skin right at this very moment.

"You must be pranking me as revenge, right?" She asked nervously, glancing at him and hoping he would nod his head.

However, her last bit of hope vanished when she saw Shi Tian holding a solemn expression.

"The dust mites are now gathering near the bottom right side of your chin, and you should feel the effect soon enough." Shi Tian pointed and said.

And sure enough, a few minutes later, another redness appeared and Vanessa was truly horrified.

"What should I do, Nathan?" She panicked and grabbed his arms. Tears seemed to be seeping through the corner of her eyes when such a horrifying scene actually occurred to her.

It was obvious that these dust mites aren\'t the normal household dust mites, but ones that have been mutated and immune to her magic. After all, she had attempted to heat herself and raise her body temperature to an insanely large degree, only to be a futile effort in the end.

"Rest assured, now that I can see them, they can\'t run away from me like they did to you." Shi Tian said, taking out the empty Restorative Potion glass bottle that Vanessa had previously drunk.

Since these dust mites are mutated and could cause such a problem to Vanessa who seemed to have high attainment in magic, then it goes to show just how valuable these dust mites are.

"Wait a minute, how come you aren\'t affected by these dust mites?" Vanessa suddenly asked. She had even taken a shower, but Shi Tian was currently still filled with dust all over his body, so how come he wasn\'t affected at all.

Shi Tian also pondered for a while as to why he wasn\'t affected, but in the end, he decided to say a few words that sent her to the shadow realm.

"Seems like a skill issue."
