At this moment, Su Qingqing was having a high fever. Her small face was flushed red. Strands of sweat-soaked hair clung to her cheeks as if she was experiencing immense pain. Her dry lips were pale, and she occasionally mumble a few words as she lay on the bed.
Seeing Su Qingqing in such agony, Su Qian’s heart felt like it was being slowly tortured by a blunt knife. It was so painful that she could barely breathe.
“Ye’er, you’re injured too. You’d better go back and rest early. Your sister has me guarding her. She’ll definitely be fine.” Su Qian looked at her precious son gently and patted Su Ye’s head comfortingly.
Su Ye lay weakly on the bed and lowered his head guiltily. “I’m sorry, Mother. It’s all my fault.”
“This matter isn’t your fault. It’s the Ximen family who’s being overbearing and bullying others. Don’t worry. Once Qingqing’s condition improves, I will immediately go to the Ximen family to avenge you.” At the mention of the Ximen family, a sharp killing intent quickly appeared in Su Qian’s eyes.
“You don’t need to worry about the Ximen family’s matters anymore. I have already settled it.”
Xiao Yan’s voice suddenly sounded from behind, causing both mother and son to turn their heads to look behind them at the same time. They just happened to see Xiao Yan pushing the door open and controlling the wheelchair under him to enter. He came to the bed as quickly as he could. “How’s Qingqing’s condition?”
At the mention of this, Su Qian couldn’t help but worry. She quickly used a towel to wipe away Su Qingqing’s cold sweat. “Her condition is very bad.” “What exactly happened? Why did Qingqing suddenly become seriously ill?” Xiao Yan came to the bed and looked at the unconscious Su Qingqing. He only felt that her painful appearance was like a thread tied to his heart. It tugged at his heart and made him want to suffer in Su Qingqing’s place.
“Up until now, I have never seen a second person suffering from Qingqing’s illness. From the moment Qingqing was born, she had this illness. 1 call this illness a poisonous illness. This illness usually does not affect Qingqing at all. Only when she becomes emotionally agitated will it attract poisonous creatures to gather, making her go berserk and uncontrollably violent. Previously, I had always relied on the elixir 1 refined to help her suppress her illness, but as she grew, her strength became stronger. The previous elixir could no longer suppress the poisonous illness, causing her to go berserk this time.”
After Su Qian said, she reached out her hand and gently caressed Su Qingqing’s small face with loving tenderness. “So far, I haven’t found the cause of the poisonous illness. 1 can only think of ways to help Qingqing suppress it. But unexpectedly, before I could refine the elixir, Qingqing fell ill.”
“So you’re saying that you’re collecting Phoenix Orchid and Dragon-repelling Fruit to refine a suppressive elixir for Qingqing?” Seeing Su Qian nod, Xiao Yan asked in confusion, “Then why is Qingqing unconscious now?”
“Once the poisonous illness erupts, the excessive expansion of power will cause Qingqing’s young body to collapse. She can’t control this power, and it will definitely torture her. In milder cases, it will only cause her to have a fever and lose consciousness. However, as the condition worsens, it will eventually threaten her life one day.” Su Qian’s expression turned cold and she couldn’t help but sigh. “If I can refine a new elixir now to suppress Qingqing’s illness, she will wake up immediately. However, I only found two elixirs now and I’m still missing a medicinal Qilin Celestial Vine…”
Hearing the words ‘Qilin Celestial Vine’, Xiao Yan’s eyes lit up..
