Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children Chapter 342 - 341: Without Yin Jiang, This Old Female Is Use

However, this disadvantage was completely turned around by the outsider, Female Saint Si Shuo. Not only were Li Gu’s eyes healed, but she also looked as young and beautiful as a newly-mated female.

Yun i couldn’t help but clench her fists, thinking she would have to ask Si Shuo in private for the secret to becoming younger. ’I’ll pay any amount of Crystal Stones!’

Si Shuo chuckled and nodded, her gaze catching the many Beastn standing at the cave entrance to watch the commotion. "Aunt Li Gu, is it safe for them to gawk like this?

Why don’t you invite them over? My Yin Jiang grew up here, after all. I should get to know everyone. When the weather gets better, we’ll be coming back to stay for a few days."

Li Gu understood imdiately. She patted Si Shuo’s hand and called out with a smile, "Sisters, if you’re curious about my Shuoshuo, co on over! You all watched Yin Jiang grow up and took care of him plenty. You’re practically his other mothers.

So people don’t cherish their connection to him, but we can’t be so heartless, can we? If he hadn’t protected everyone back then, who knows how many families would have been torn apart!"

That was true. The crowd disapproved of the Clan Leader’s family’s callous treatnt of Yin Jiang, and now they all ca over to back him up.

The caves here were clustered together. To make it easier for the females to visit one another, the males had built a narrow, single-file walkway connecting the entrances, complete with stone steps leading up and down.

Hearing Li Gu’s invitation, five or six females couldn’t resist and ca over, smiling as they introduced themselves one by one.

Li Gu would whisper a word or two in her ear about each one, helping Si Shuo rember them.

"Is that Yin Jiang and Si Shuo? Ahem," You Jing coughed. She was genuinely sick now, her head heavy and clouded. Seeing the group of people talking at the entrance without coming in, she spoke up impatiently.

Si Shuo humd in acknowledgnt and said to Li Gu with a smile, "Aunt Li Gu, why don’t you all stay by the entrance out of the wind? Don’t co in. Yin Jiang’s Grandma is sick, and I wouldn’t want you to catch it."

Li Gu nodded. "Alright, you go on in. Just give us a shout if you need anything."

After a serious illness, You Jing no longer had a high fever, but her condition remained unstable. Her already gaunt fra now had a sallow, deathly pallor.

Si Shuo clicked her tongue. "So the Witch Doctor told you that you don’t have much ti left, Grandma You Jing?"

You Jing coughed violently in a fit of anger and ground her teeth. "I’m perfectly fine! It was just a little cold wind. I’ll be back on my feet after a day or two of good food."

"But Grandma You Jing, you’re getting on in years. Your body isn’t what it used to be. Even a minor cold could be enough to send you to et the Beast God," Si Shuo said blandly. "You don’t take care of yourself, so now you have to hope the Witch Doctor is skilled enough to snatch soone back from the Beast God’s grasp?"

Hearing her callous words, You Jing felt for the first ti just how terribly weak she was. rely pushing herself up to sit against the wall left her dizzy and drained of all strength. A faint regret for her earlier impulsiveness crept into her heart.

She still hadn’t heard Yin Jiang’s voice. It slowly dawned on her that Yin Jiang wasn’t his father; he wouldn’t let her use her illness as a threat.

"What do you know? Who isn’t weak after a major illness? I’m just recovering a little more slowly, that’s all," You Jing insisted.

Si Shuo nodded. "Fine. I’ve said my piece. Whether you listen is up to you. Now, let see your eyes."

You Jing didn’t dare say another word, terrified that the young female she had gone to such lengths to summon would throw a fit and leave. She beca exceptionally cooperative.

Si Shuo lifted You Jing’s eyelids, asked her a few questions, and then let out a small sigh.

"Si Shuo, d-did you find sothing? It’s curable, isn’t it? Li Gu and I both went blind from crying. Her eyes are healed, so mine can be too, right?" The sigh sent a chill down You Jing’s spine.

"Grandma You Jing, did you really go blind from crying?" Si Shuo asked, her voice laced with doubt. "If you want your eyes healed, you must tell the truth. Different causes require different treatnts.

For example, when Aunt Li Gu cried herself blind, it was because she cried so much and kept rubbing her eyes, eventually tearing the mbrane on the surface and causing the blindness.

Aunt Li Gu’s eyes are clear now, but yours, Grandma You Jing, are cloudy. It doesn’t look like blindness from crying."

You Jing’s heart clenched. That was a difficult question to answer. Everyone believed that she had gone blind from crying out of grief and self-bla after Yin Jiang was abducted.

During the warr weather, she would sit at the entrance of her cave and tell this story to anyone who would listen, again and again.

If she didn’t tell the truth now, Si Shuo couldn’t prescribe the right treatnt. But if she did tell the truth, wouldn’t that be like tearing away her last shred of dignity and completely humiliating herself?

Si Shuo covered her nose and said flatly, "Grandma You Jing, you’d better decide quickly. You’re sick. I have no obligation to risk my own health just to treat your eyes.

If you don’t want to talk, I’ll leave now. That way I won’t be blad for misdiagnosing you and making things worse."

You Jing had been blind for over a year. She used to be such a strong-willed woman; every Beastman in her family was managed by her down to the last detail. But ever since she went blind, her words carried no weight.

She dread of nothing more than regaining her sight. Hearing that Si Shuo was about to leave, she gritted her teeth and mumbled, "It wasn’t from crying. I... I don’t know how it happened. My vision just suddenly got blurry, and eventually, I couldn’t see at all."

Outside, Li Gu and the other females were straining to hear. "Wait, Aunt You Jing, didn’t you cry yourself blind over Yin Jiang?"

"I knew it! You Jing is tough as nails, she’s not the type to be crying all day... After Yin Jiang was captured, she was still laughing and joking around like nothing was wrong. Then all of a sudden she’d supposedly cried herself blind? Back then I thought I was hearing things..."

"Exactly! She’s not one to cry. Her tears are rarer than a Crocodile Beastman’s... I really don’t know how she had the nerve to go around telling everyone she cried herself blind for Yin Jiang... I actually fell for it and even brought her a basket of bird eggs..."

Listening to the blunt discussion outside, You Jing was both ashad and furious. She growled, "Si Shuo, can you treat eye conditions or not?"

Si Shuo humd. "This looks like poisoning. And not a one-ti dose. It seems a toxin that damages the optic nerve was slowly added to your daily food, a little at a ti.

Try to think back. After Yin Jiang was captured, did you eat anything you wouldn’t normally eat?

It would be hard to recall if it only happened once or twice, but if you ate it for a while, you must have so mory of it, right?"

Yun i and Wei Cang, who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion, both looked visibly unnerved.

You Jing froze, her brow furrowed in thought. Suddenly, she ground out through clenched teeth, "Mushrooms. The weather had just turned a bit cold, and Yun i said she had picked so mushrooms and made them into a soup for !"

Si Shuo raised an eyebrow at Yun i and smiled faintly. "There are many kinds of mushrooms. Indeed, there are so that, when consud over a long period, will cause a person’s eyesight to deteriorate until they go completely blind."

You Jing was trembling with rage. She took a deep breath and asked slowly, "Si Shuo... can my eyes be healed?"

She understood now. ’Without Yin Jiang around, an old female like is useless. I must have gotten in soone’s way, so of course I had to suffer!’
