Chapter 189: Treatment
When the two of them returned to Thunder City, it was already ten days later. Fortunately, the journey was smooth sailing and they did not encounter any obstacles.
When the boat docked at the ferry, the two of them rushed to the Qin family.
After all, they had spent almost a month on this trip. Now that they had obtained the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma, the faster they could treat Qin Mingzhu, the better.
There were very few pedestrians on the road. It was noon, but there were not many people on the street.
Occasionally, they could see a few beggars dressed in shabby clothes, but they only hurried past the pair, as if they were afraid that something would happen to them.
“This is a bit unusual?” Qin Xiaoxi also noticed the unusual situation on the street.
Normally, this street in Thunder City should be bustling with people. There should be all kinds of stalls here, but now, there was not a single one.
“It is indeed a bit strange.”
However, the two of them could not be bothered to think so much. They did not even have the chance to enjoy the cordiality of Thunder City before they hurried to the Qin family.
“Young Miss, you’re back?”
The two servants guarding the entrance of the Qin family saw Qin Xiaoxi and Jiang Yun rushing over and quickly exclaimed. Their mouths were wide open, and their faces were full of surprise.
Qin Xiaoxi only greeted them perfunctorily, and then quickly followed Jiang Yun toward the inner courtyard.
Many servants who were working saw Qin Xiaoxi’s arrival, and they all had extremely surprised expressions.
“Sister! Sister! Father!”
Qin Xiaoxi called out as she walked to Qin Mingzhu’s bedroom.
Just as she reached her sister’s room, the door opened.
Qin Haisheng stood at the door with an angry expression. The hair on his temples had whitened a lot. Jiang Yun still remembered that he had not noticed so many wrinkles on Master Qin’s face a month ago.
However, when he saw Qin Xiaoxi return safely, Qin Haisheng’s angry eyes immediately became easy-going. It was as if the huge stone in his heart had suddenly fallen.
“My child, how could you run out without saying anything.” Mrs. Qin who was also beside Qin Haisheng, couldn’t help but shed tears when she saw Qin Xiaoxi’s appearance.
As a parent, she was worried that her daughter would go to the Northern Region without saying a word.
“Mother, I’m doing this to find a cure for sister’s illness.” Qin Xiaoxi smiled embarra.s.sedly. Mrs. Qin wiped her tears with a handkerchief and hugged Qin Xiaoxi.
“It’s good that you’re back.”
Qin Haisheng also heaved a sigh of relief.
“Master Qin.” Jiang Yun couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction when he saw the scene. “We’ve already obtained the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma. Miss Qin can be saved.”
Qin Haisheng couldn’t control his tears when he heard this. He had waited for more than a month, and finally, there was hope.
His eldest daughter was seriously ill in bed and could lose her life at any time. Meanwhile, his youngest daughter was also in dire straits while searching for a cure. The month of bitter waiting had finally worn out Qin Haisheng and Mrs. Qin.
“Sect Master Jiang…” At this moment, Qin Haisheng had already become somewhat inarticulate. It was unknown whether he was excited or relieved.
“Let’s not talk about this for now. Your daughter’s life is more important.” Jiang Yun smiled politely. Then, he took out the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma that he had picked earlier from his storage bag.
“Yes… yes… please come in quickly.”
At this moment, the whole family and Jiang Yun were gathered around Qin Mingzhu’s bedside.
For some reason, the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma that Jiang Yun picked was still emitting that strange light. No wonder it was a divine object created by the Frost Dragon.
“Is this… the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma?” Qin Haisheng, who saw the true appearance of the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma, was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. He was already amazed by the appearance of the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma. He had never seen such a rare divine object in his life.
Qin Mingzhu, who was lying on the bed, had her eyes tightly shut. Her lips were dry, her face was pale, and her cheeks were deeply sunken.
It was as if her vital essence had been sucked dry.
It seemed that the Power of Blood Shadow had gradually increased its control over her body.
Jiang Yun placed two fingers on Qin Mingzhu’s wrist and was feeling the pulse.
At that moment, everyone held their breaths.
Qin Xiaoxi blinked twice at Jiang Yun and he knew that she was asking about her sister’s condition.
“Miss Qin’s pulse is weaker than before. We need to start expelling the Power of Blood Shadow from her body immediately.” Jiang Yun frowned and his gaze stopped at Qin Mingzhu’s wrist.
He noticed that Qin Mingzhu’s wrist was already covered with a few black blood vessels.
The situation was worse than he had expected.
“Okay, Sect Master Jiang, is there anything you need help with?” Qin Haisheng quickly asked.
“Mrs. Qin and Master Qin, please wait outside for now. No matter what happens next, you are not allowed to come in.” As Jiang Yun said this, he also noticed Qin Xiaoxi beside him, “You should go out as well. The Power of Blood Shadow is very dangerous.”
“I will keep quiet.” Qin Xiaoxi originally thought that Jiang Yun would keep her here, but she didn’t expect that he would chase her out as well.
“Xiaoxi, don’t mess around. Don’t disturb Sect Master Jiang giving your sister treatment!” At this moment, Qin Haisheng’s stern tone sounded once again.
Looking at Qin Xiaoxi’s worried but reluctant gaze, Jiang Yun also shook his head helplessly.
“Alright, Miss Qin, you can stay here and help me.” Jiang Yun looked at Qin Xiaoxi with a strange and dissatisfied gaze. “Master Qin, you can go out first.”
“Alright, Sect Master Jiang, I’ll go out first and wait for your good news!” Before Qin Haisheng left, he didn’t forget to remind Qin Xiaoxi.
“Remember not to mess around.”
“Father, am I the kind of person who messes around?” Qin Xiaoxi quickly stepped forward and gently pulled Qin Haisheng and Mrs. Qin out of the room, then closed the door.
As soon as she closed the door, Qin Xiaoxi immediately came to her sister’s side.
She gently grabbed Qin Mingzhu’s hand and caressed it.
“Sister, don’t worry. You will be saved soon.”
After that, Qin Xiaoxi stood up.
“What should I do?”
“Your sister’s body has been seriously eroded by the Power of Blood Shadow.” As he spoke, Jiang Yun had already used his spiritual power to smash the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma into pieces. “Fetch some water.”
Qin Xiaoxi didn’t say anything after hearing that. She quickly filled the teacup on the table with warm water and came to Jiang Yun’s side again.
Jiang Yun opened Qin Mingzhu’s mouth and stuffed the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma into her mouth.
“Xiaoxi, help her up.”
Qin Xiaoxi did as she was told.
