Chapter 2020: Unreliable
“The savior I met today. I went to dine outside today, then ran into Shen Yao at the restaurant. There was an old man and a young girl with her. After they learned that I have breast cancer, they gave me several pills and told me to take one every 3 days. The cancer should be cured after I take all the 3 pills,” said Shu Lihua with great excitement. She even cried out of joy. Although she still felt it was too good to be true, she chose to believe it was possible.
“What?” Hearing that, Zou Hongming rounded his eyes in great shock. He was thrilled at first, but then doubted it. “Lihua, is it real? Why do I somehow feel it isn’t reliable? I know Shen Yao won’t hurt you, but I can’t believe there is such an effective medicine in this world.”
Zou Hongming was very doubtful about it.
“Hongming, I know it’s hard for you to believe it. I can’t believe it either, but I still choose to trust Shen Yao. There is no reason for her to fool me. She has saved my life after all! I took a pill before having the meal today, and my face became ruddy right away. I feel my body is full of energy now as well. Even if the medicine can’t cure the cancer, it won’t make it worse. Gu Ning also told me I can go to have an exam in the hospital tomorrow. We’ll see whether there is any change,” said Shu Lihua. She knew it was quite amazing, so she didn’t force Zou Hongming to believe it right now.
“Great, we can have an exam in the hospital tomorrow.” Zou Hongming still had doubts, but it was useless. They could only wait for the exam result tomorrow.
He hoped it really worked so that his wife could suffer less pain during the treatment.
He didn’t know whether Shu Lihua had the idea of giving up, because he never had that idea. He was determined to cure Shu Lihua no matter how difficult it was.
“Sure, but keep the medicine between us. We can’t tell other people. I’m afraid it might cause trouble for them,” said Shu Lihua. Although Gu Ning didn’t tell her to do that, she understood it might be troublesome if others learned that Gu Ning carried such effective medicine.
“I will,” said Zou Hongming.
…
Gu Ning and the others arrived at County X after just more than an hour. She told the driver to stop the car in front of XX hotel, then let him leave after they got out of the car.
After that, they walked forward along the road, going further and further away from the crowd.
There was still a long distance to go from County X to the Kunlun Sect’s place. They could directly fly there with a sword, but they were still in the town now. It was brightly lit with many pedestrians, so they couldn’t take out their sword right there and fly away because it would cause a sensation.
As a result, they had to walk to a dark place without anyone else around to take action.
After walking for about 20 minutes, they were already far away from the town. There were no street lights, people around, or surveillance cameras, so Shangguan Yang took out his sword.
Afterwards, the three of them stepped on it. Once they stood steadily, Shangguan Yang flew the sword away.
A flying sword was much faster than cars and they could go straight without taking detours, so they only needed 20 minutes to fly with the sword when it would take at least an hour by car to get to the Kunlun Sect Square.
Because it was October, there was no snow on Kunlun Mountain. And it wasn’t so cold either. In addition, they were all cultivators and weren’t afraid of cold, so 2 pieces of clothes were enough for them.
Back to a familiar place, Shangguan Yang suddenly had mixed emotions. He had stayed here for hundreds of years after all, so he felt at ease. However, he would still leave, because he couldn’t give up the activities and delicious food in mortals’ world. Therefore, Shangguan Yang wasn’t very sad.
“Alright, let’s go to the back of this mountain,” said Shangguan Yang, then walked ahead, followed by Gu Ning and Jing Yunyao.
After that, Gu Ning let the monster fox out and told it to cultivate on its own.
The monster fox had stayed here for hundreds of years, so it was excited to be back here as well, but it would still leave when Gu Ning left later.
Even though it was locked in the telepathic eye s.p.a.ce most of the time and lost consciousness while with Gu Ning, it enjoyed itself sometimes!
At Kunlun Mountain, however, it could only cultivate all day long, or play with fairies, or search around for snow lotus.
When they reached the back of the mountain, they flew over the broken cliff to the front of the tower.
Afterwards, Shangguan Yang took Jing Yunyao to a wooden room at the back of the mountain and told her to retreat inside.
Because Jing Yunyao was going to break through levels, the thunder might damage his tower if she did it inside.
Shangguan Yang then took Gu Ning into the tower. There were windows inside, so they could see the situation in the wooden room where Jing Yunyao stayed. If any accidents happened, they would know.
…
During the night, neither Zou Hongming nor Shu Lihua could sleep. Both of them kept thinking about tomorrow’s exam.
At dawn, they got up to make preparations. Because it was too early, they waited for a while before finally going at 8:20 am.
City Ge wasn’t a large city like the capital, where it took a long time to get to another place. There was barely a traffic jam, so Zou Hongming and Shu Lihua arrived at the hospital in a few minutes.
Even though Zou Hongming never used his power to bully other people, others would be willing to help him because he had power. Therefore, once Zou Hongming and his wife showed up, the chief doctor of Shu Lihua arranged for a test for her.
When the result came out and showed that the cancer cells were nearly half of what there had been, all of them were amazed even if Gu Ning had already told Shu Lihua about it.
Before she saw the result with her own eyes, she felt it was too unbelievable to be true, but now she saw it and was shocked.
“Jesus, it’s a miracle! Within only 2 days, the cancer cells have reduced by nearly half. In that case, the treatment will be much easier in the future,” said the chief doctor. This was the first time that he had seen such a miracle, but it was good news.
“Really? The cancer cells have reduced by nearly half?” asked Zou Hongming with uncertainty. Because he cared too much about it, he was worried he had heard it wrong.
“Yes, mayor, it’s true. The cancer cells are indeed nearly half fewer in your wife’s body,” said the chief doctor with certainty.
“It’s wonderful!” Zou Hongming, who was always stable, cheered like a kid now. He immediately hugged Shu Lihua without caring about other people’s looks.
