NOVEL WEB Chapter 144: Treatment!
"Mom, stop spacing out and help me beat the eggs. Beat a few more for Brother Jiang!" Seeing her mom either gossiping or daydreaming as soon as she walked in, Liu Shiyuan felt exasperated and said to Wang Xiumei.
Wang Xiumei snapped back to attention, and with a sense of responsibility for her daughter, she grabbed a bowl to beat the eggs while asking Liu Shiyuan, "Speaking of which, what exactly is Jiang Feng's identity? Can you finally tell mom?"
"I don't know either." Liu Shiyuan shook her head, "Originally, I thought Brother Jiang was just a security guard at my roommate's company..."
"Security guard???" Wang Xiumei's eyes widened upon hearing this. How could that be? A security guard capable of someone like Pan Haoting accommodating him?!
"Right, you think it's strange too, don't you? That's how I felt at first," Liu Shiyuan said honestly, "Actually, Brother Liu has done a lot of surprising things!"
Then, she recounted everything, starting with Jiang Feng saving her at Dynasty KTV, moving on to the fall of the Jian Family, then Zhou Zikun and Han Lengxuan's setbacks, followed by the leaders of several families personally apologizing to Jiang Feng at the beach, and finally Chu Renxiong's respectful attitude towards him, ending with everything that happened today...
Of course, she glossed over many dangerous parts to avoid worrying her mother, but after detailing everything, Wang Xiumei was left dumbfounded, as if she had just heard some fantastical tale!
The Jian Family, the Zhou Family, the Han Family, the Pan Family, the Le Family, the Mu Family...
Chu Renxiong, Han Shilong, Pan Haoting, Jian Hongsheng...
Every one of these families or names was an unfathomable existence to her, like the difference between heaven and earth. Yet Jiang Feng could make them all bow down, even to the point of kneeling and apologizing?
Wang Xiumei was truly stunned!
"My dear daughter, what are you waiting for? A man like him is a genuine True Dragon among men, hard to find even with a lantern in today's society! Whatever you do, don't play hard to get. If you miss out, it'll be too late for regrets!" Wang Xiumei hurriedly advised her daughter.
A girl fears marrying the wrong man, and she was a prime example. Although she and Liu Yunping had always been loving since they married, she had no regrets, their life was undeniably hard. With Liu Yunping falling gravely ill, it was like adding fuel to fire. She didn't want her daughter to walk her path, so she dreamed of her finding a reliable man for a lifetime, and now it seemed Jiang Feng couldn't be more suitable!
"Mom, what are you talking about? I've told you, I'm not in that kind of relationship with Brother Jiang!" Liu Shiyuan protested, her foot tapping impatiently, expressing her bashful frustration.
"Nonsense, if there's nothing going on, why do you get nervous when I mention him?" Wang Xiumei had already seen through her daughter's heart, "Tell me honestly, how far have you two gotten?"
"Mom~~~" Liu Shiyuan was nearly mortified, "How am I supposed to say this, even if I have feelings for Brother Jiang, he might not like me. There are too many girls around him, all better than me. I... I don't have the means to compete!"
Thinking of Nangong Qingcheng and Chu Feifei, Liu Shiyuan felt deeply inadequate. Spending time with those two women, she was aware that their relationships with Jiang Feng were anything but ordinary.
"What are you talking about? My daughter isn't lacking anything! Darling, don't belittle yourself because of our family's situation. Your life is yours to earn happiness, and... can't you use some tactics?"
Wang Xiumei began to give advice again, "For instance, whenever you have time, spend more time with him. It's natural for feelings to develop over time... Besides, you're a college student now, it's not considered early dating. As long as you manage boundaries, it's fine. At least your mom isn't that old-fashioned—Xiao Jiang is so kind and righteous, he won't abandon you as long as you boil the rice."
"Ugh, mom~~~ where are you going with this? Don't say anymore, get out of here, you're distracting me from cooking!" Liu Shiyuan, seeing her mom getting more and more far-fetched, blushing fiercely, hurriedly pushed her mother out of the room.
After pushing her mom out, Liu Shiyuan leaned back against the door, squatted down, and hugged her feet, staying like that for a while, covering her face in deep embarrassment.
Recalling her mom's far-fetched and mortifying words, her fresh face was so red it seemed like it was about to bleed, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.
...
In the bedroom.
Liu Yunping, lying in the hospital bed, had swollen legs again. He had just forced himself up with his crutches, and now he was exhausted and weak, eyes closed, drifting off to sleep.
Upon entering, Jiang Feng saw Liu Yunping's sallow complexion, recognizing it as a sign of his illness progressing towards a critical stage.
Seeing that Wang Xiumei hadn't followed him in, Jiang Feng approached the bed, began channeling the "Devouring Sky Demon Technique," aimed his hand at Liu Yunping's abdomen, and slowly released two strands of invisible black gas.
These two black strands were his True Qi, also known as Devouring Sky Demon Qi!
The essence of the Devouring Sky Demon Technique lies in absorbing external essences and nutrients to transform them into Devouring Sky Demon Qi. Similarly, this Qi can be released, converting into pure life essence and nutrients, capable of nourishing and healing everything, let alone curing ailments!
Back in the barren mountains, Jiang Feng used this method to heal Chu Feifei's sprained ankle.
But now, he wouldn't release too much True Qi to heal Liu Yunping. First, it would exhaust him, and secondly, using too much might instantaneously cure Liu Yunping, which would be shocking!
If a late-stage uremia patient was suddenly cured by him, it would be sensational, so much that even he couldn't explain it to Liu Shiyuan, ending up in a counterproductive situation.
Hence, he decided on gradual treatment, several sessions over time until recovery, which wouldn't raise suspicions.
As the two strands of Devouring Sky Demon Qi flowed into Liu Yunping's kidneys, his complexion visibly improved, his skin regained some color, and his breathing steadied noticeably.
In his comatose state, Liu Yunping felt an unprecedented sense of comfort, his kidney area felt as if it were soaked in warm water, cozy, causing him to softly groan and start waking up.
Jiang Feng immediately withdrew his hand, knowing when to stop.
Every strand of his True Qi was precious and couldn't be wasted. This time, it was because of Liu Shiyuan, and the couple were decent at heart, otherwise, he wouldn't have made an exception.
As Liu Yunping barely regained some vitality and tried to open his eyes, Liu Shiyuan's slightly shy and sweet voice came from outside, "Brother Jiang, the noodles are ready, come eat!"
"Okay." Jiang Feng took one last look at Liu Yunping before heading out.
