Ultimate Goddess System

"Need anything?" Xiao Taotao asked, to which Xiao Yunhua nodded fervently.

"Is there anything that can cure Han Mi?"

Xiao Taotao nodded, "There is."

"Where is it? Show me please!"

Xiao Taotao snapped her fingers and a vial of clear elixir appeared before Xiao Yunhua. When Xiao Yunhua tried to reach for it, her hand went right through the vial. Her eyes widened in shock until Xiao Taotao explained, "The Infinity Cure can cure anything and everything. Unfortunately..." Xiao Taotao sighed, "unfortunately, it costs one thousand points for each vial."

"B-But I don"t have any points!" Xiao Yunhua stuttered, "Can I have it anyway?"

"Sorry," Xiao Taotao shook her head and snapped her fingers again, making the vial disappear. "it"s against the rules to give away things that require points."

Xiao Yunhua felt helplessness filling her chest as she began to beg the little fairy for the vial. But no matter how much she pleaded, the little fairy was firm when it came to the rules.

"Could I get a loan of points? Or a negative? Something, please! Han Mi cant die yet!" Xiao Yunhua pleads were met with a shaking of the little fairy"s head.

"Host, please listen to this little one"s advice," Xiao Taotao had never had a host that actually became attached to a person in a world; this host was peculiar in many ways, including this one. "do not get attached to any person in your travels... it is very pointless as they"ll fall into the cycle of reincarnation and you," Xiao Taotao hesitated but continued, "you"ve got a long journey ahead."

Xiao Yunhua paled and averted her gaze. Even the little fairy was telling her to let go, but how could she be so detached regarding the only person that has cared for her?

"No way!" Her stubbornness wasn"t going to change, but Xiao Taotao had seen stubbornness in other hosts, too, even though they all end up losing that trait. So the little fairy only sighed as she regarded Xiao Yunhua in hidden pity.

"Then host must find a different way to save Han Mi, for this little one will ruthlessly have to decline your request." Xiao Taotao snapped her fingers again, but this time, it caused Xiao Yunhua to forcefully exit the dimensional s.p.a.ce. Due to that, Xiao Yunhua found herself in the exact same spot as before, the hospital.

She glanced around and saw that Qiang Yue was quickly striding somewhere. Wanting to ask him if there was a way that her life could be extended, even by a few years, she opened her mouth to call out his name, but she paused. In the room that he entered, he saw Qiang Luo impatiently walking back in forth in what seemed like antic.i.p.ation.

She immediately felt like something fishy was going on, so she summoned her body to the dimensional s.p.a.ce again. When Xiao Taotao saw her, she widened her eyes. "Host—"

"I"m not here to request again, I just need for my physical body to be here. My soul needs to do something out in the real world."

Xiao Taotao nodded as Xiao Yunhua"s soul immediately appeared in the hospital again. When she stood in front of people, they couldn"t see her at all, like she was some kind of ghost!

Xiao Yunhua quickly went through the walls and began eavesdropping on Qiang Luo and Qiang Yue"s conversation.

"Is that woman your patient?" Qiang Luo asked with impatience.

Qiang Yue was a bit skeptical, but he nodded. "Yes, Han Mi is a.s.signed to me while we get a specialist to confirm what I think she has."

"And what do you think she has?"

"Most likely, it"s leukemia. And the old woman didn"t look surprised when I told her what I"m guessing, meaning she knew it as well." Qiang Yue explained to his father.

Qiang Luo"s eyes narrowed as he questioned, "Any way of saving her?"

"There isn"t any cure for her chronic leukemia, but there is a way of controlling it to expand her lifespan by a bit longer."

When Qiang Luo"s heard those words, he harshly looked at Qiang Yue and demanded, "You must not tell her granddaughter! Or the patient herself!"

"Why?" Qiang Yue was confused. Shouldn"t he be telling such news to the patient? News like they had the opportunity to live for a few more years if they began treatment of controlling the cancer cells?

"Because as your father, I demand it. You must not save that woman." Qiang Luo didn"t elaborate much further, but even with such unclear words, Xiao Yunhua was beginning to turn angry.

This man, his reaction to Han Mi the other day was odd as well. He seemed shock that she was alive, and Han Mi didn"t want for him to even see or recognize her. Just what is the secret connection that the old woman has to the Zhou family?

"I cannot." Qiang Yue was righteous and would never do such an unethical thing to his patient or any patient.

Qiang Luo frowned and raised his hand to slap his son. With a disappointed look, he reminded, "Zhou Elder demands it."

When Qiang Yue heard that the Zhou Elder had demanded it, he paled. Not only him, but Xiao Yunhua as well. Her eyes hardened and she thought, very well, it seems like it"s a conspiracy against Han Mi. But who knew that old man from the eight year old Xiao Yunhua"s memories was this vicious? This debt, she would make sure to repay thoroughly.

"Why would he do such a thing? What connection does that old woman have with him?" Surprisingly, it was Qiang Yue who voiced out these questions. They were the questions that Xiao Yunhua had as well.

"Do not ask, just do as the Zhou Elder demands. The Zhou family authority is not something that our small Qiang family can afford to offend."

Despite the clear reluctance and hesitation on his face, the guilt in his heart, Qiang Yue nodded. He would do such an awful thing and the guilt would probably haunt him for life. But he would bear it, for he doesn"t want his family to be in trouble.

Xiao Yunhua clenched her fists when she saw him agreeing. But she didn"t need for him to tell her about the treatment, she had already found out about this. She would make sure to get her grandmother treated elsewhere.

Xiao Yunhua slipped away from the room and returned to her physical body. She quickly ran up to the same room and opened the door, surprising both father and son duo.

Qiang Luo immediately recognized her from the other day when he saw Han Mi with her. His eyes filled with disgust as he regarded her, like she was a sinner. Xiao Yunhua ignored him and asked Qiang Yue, "My grandmother isn"t feeling that well, can you come and see what"s going on with her?"

"You could"ve buzzed for a nurse." Qiang Luo growled in annoyance.

Xiao Yunhua narrowed her eyes at the old man and harshly rebuked, "Who are you? A doctor? If you are, then you"d value a person"s life and wouldn"t treat it as such a casual manner! Besides, you"d expect for elders to have a bit more respect and not interrupt when someone was talking, but then again, there"s always an abnormality among every category."

Hearing her words, Qiang Luo reddened and opened his mouth to yell at her, but Qiang Yue stopped him, "Father, I believe that it"s time for you to return."

Qiang Luo closes his mouth and glared at Xiao Yunhua. With a humph, he left as he slammed the door.

Xiao Yunhua was tempted to stick out her tongue in his direction, but she stopped herself as Qiang Yue began to walk in her grandmother"s room.

As they walked, she couldn"t help but ask, "That"s your father?"

Qiang Yue nodded.

"They say that the apple doesn"t fall far from the tree, but luckily, this apple seemed to have fallen much further than that rotten tree." Xiao Yunhua murmured, making Qiang Yue chuckle at her meaning.

When they opened the door, they found Han Mi sickly with her eyes closed. Xiao Yunhua gasped as Qiang Yue immediately summoned for nurses to come help him stabilize her condition.

About ten minutes later, when she started looking a bit healthier, Qiang Yue and Xiao Yunhua both sighed in relief.

"Since there"s no permanent cure, is there any way of treating her to extend her life by a few years?" When Xiao Yunhua asked him that question, he froze.

Qiang Yue paused and didn"t know how to answer her. He wanted to lie, but he couldn"t since he had always been an upright and just man. Finally, after what seemed to be an eternity of silence, he nodded. He began to explain to her what he told his father. He even listed a few places that had treatments for the blood cancer.

Xiao Yunhua was shocked that he admitted it and didn"t lie like he originally planned, but she was grateful. His honesty was like a breath of fresh air after being lied to by people around her.

His honesty was also the reason that she would make sure to leave him unharmed when she begins her retaliation.

"But I have to warn you," Qiang Yue said, "treatment is very expensive."

Xiao Yunhua nodded her head, "I know, but that doesn"t mean that I"ll give up."

Qiang Yue flashed her a smile and left the room, leaving her to plot on how to afford the treatment...
