"You can leave, but you must promise not to give this little girl any trouble in the future. If we find out, you know the consequences," Fang Yan said softly to the middle-aged man, his calm words carrying a hint of intimidation and coercion. He wanted to ensure the other party wouldn’t trouble the little girl again; otherwise, he wouldn’t have lingered here for so long.
"I don’t dare, I don’t dare, I know what to do, I know what to do," the middle-aged man replied quickly, sweat instantly beading on his forehead upon hearing Fang Yan’s words. Even with ten thousand more guts, he wouldn’t dare provoke that little girl. With the strength of these three, crushing his family would be effortless; how could he put the entire family at risk over a mont of pride?
"Get lost, and tell your boss not to be so arrogant in the future," Qin Kun said coldly after Fang Yan finished explaining, signaling the middle-aged man and the black-faced elder to leave quickly, as they no longer wanted to see these people.
"Yes, yes, yes..." the middle-aged man responded promptly, pulling the black-faced elder along as they made a hasty retreat...
The surrounding people found it amusing, coming in with such arrogance only to flee in defeat; it was a colossal joke. However, it was none of their business; they were just watching a farce. As for Fang Yan’s trio, they didn’t dare even glance at them, fearing to provoke these powerful individuals. Suddenly, the crowd dispersed.
Seeing the crowd had dispersed and that nothing significant had happened here, Fang Yan turned to the little girl, who was still staring in awe with her mouth slightly open, and smiled, "Little girl, everything is settled. Let’s go check on your mother now!"
The little girl snapped back to reality upon hearing this, her eyes filled with gratitude as she looked at Fang Yan. If Fang Yan hadn’t dealt with these bad people thoroughly, she would truly suffer whenever encountering them in the future. Moreover, Fang Yan now offered to help treat her mother’s illness, leaving her unsure of how to express her thanks.
But her mother’s illness truly couldn’t be delayed any longer, so the little girl hurriedly replied to Fang Yan with imnse gratitude, "Thank you, we’ll go ho now!"
After speaking, she turned to lead the way, and Fang Yan’s trio followed the little girl for more than ten miles, finally nearing the edge of Wanyuan City before reaching a lowly residential area. Everywhere they looked, people lived in dire poverty.
Under the little girl’s guidance, the four navigated through complex alleys until they arrived in front of a ramshackle house that looked ready to collapse. The little girl pushed the door open, calling out as she entered, "Mom, mom, I’m back!"
At this mont, a weak voice ca from inside the house, "Wan’er is back, pour so water."
The little girl imdiately rushed inside to busy herself with pouring water for her mother, while Fang Yan’s trio also entered the dim room, where only a little sunlight was visible through a window hole. The room was barren apart from a bed, a cabinet, not even a table...
Wan’er had already poured the water and brought it to her mother’s side, supporting her mother’s back as she helped her drink.
At this mont, Wan’er’s mother noticed three young people in the room and asked curiously, "Wan’er, who are these people, your friends?"
Upon hearing her mother’s words, Wan’er finally realized and quickly introduced, "Mom, I t these three on the road. My hand was hurt, and they healed it. They heard you were sick and offered to co to treat you."
"Wan’er, don’t you understand? Your mother’s illness can’t be healed, and even if they treat us, we have no money to pay them! Cough, cough..." Wan’er’s mother spoke with a reproachful tone. How could she not want to be cured? But given their current circumstances, they couldn’t even afford a doctor!
"Mom... I don’t want anything to happen to you. If sothing happens to you, what will I do..." Wan’er cried with frustration upon hearing her mother’s words, fearing her mother would leave her alone.
Fang Yan’s trio was moved by this mother-daughter scene. Before Fang Yan could speak, Qin Kun pleaded, "Boss, please look, if there’s any way we can save her, let’s help."
"Right, right, Boss, they’re too pitiful. If we cure Wan’er’s mom, they can take care of each other," Wu Shan, a tough man, also pleaded with Fang Yan, unwilling to see such a tragic situation unfolded further.
"Do you really need to say it?"
Fang Yan gave the two a sidelong glance. If he didn’t intend to help, why would he be here? After casually saying this, he approached Wan’er’s mother and said, "I can cure your illness, and there’s no charge."
Without waiting for Wan’er’s mother to reply, Fang Yan gently moved Wan’er aside, sat down on the bed, and with a flick of his wrist, more than twenty Golden Needles hovered in front of him. Gold light erupted from him, enveloping the Golden Needles like living creatures.
Then Fang Yan closed his eyes, and as soon as he did, the needles transford into streaks of gold light that entered Wan’er’s mother’s body. Wan’er’s mother was suddenly enveloped in gold light, but unlike before with Wan’er, she seed to be convulsing and trembling all over!
"Mom!"
Wan’er got startled by this, thinking sothing had happened to her mom and tried to rush forwards. Before she could do so, Qin Kun and Wu Shan each grabbed one of her arms, making her unbearably anxious and struggling to break free.
Qin Kun shook his head at this mont and said to Wan’er, "If you don’t want anything to happen to your mother, don’t interfere with Boss. There’s no one under the heavens that Boss can’t save!"
"Wan’er, just watch quietly. Your mother will be fine soon!" Wu Shan also advised Wan’er from the side. He was very familiar with Fang Yan’s dical skills; it wasn’t even a problem that he could revive the dead, let alone cure the living. So curing Wan’er’s mother was not an issue. On the contrary, if Wan’er disturbed Fang Yan, only then might sothing go wrong.
Originally, Wan’er was very worried about her mother, but hearing what Qin Kun and Wu Shan said made her gradually calm her inner tension. Yet her fists were still clenched tightly, showing she was still extrely nervous...
After roughly the ti it takes to drink a cup of tea, the golden light suddenly dissipated. As soon as the Golden Needle left the body, Fang Yan waved his hand, applying a gust of Gang Qi to Wan’er’s mother’s back.
"Bang!"
Wan’er’s mother flew toward the bedside as if she had been punched hard!
Seeing this scene, Wan’er was instantly dumbfounded. Wasn’t Fang Yan supposed to be saving her mother? Why did he hit her? Her mother had been ill for so long; how could she withstand such a hit? Thinking of this, she struggled to rush up and fight Fang Yan.
Qin Kun and Wu Shan also didn’t understand what was happening here, but they knew Fang Yan wouldn’t take a life. With puzzled eyes, they looked at Fang Yan, wanting to know why he was treating Wan’er’s mother in this way.
At this mont, Wan’er’s mother’s body had already flopped onto the bedside, her head extending past the edge. She opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood...
"Puff!"
A foul-slling black-red blood sprayed from Wan’er’s mother’s mouth, forming a large puddle on the ground. A very unpleasant stench filled the entire room.
Seeing this scene, Wan’er couldn’t hold back any longer. Tears stread down as she used all her strength to break free from Qin Kun and Wu Shan, wanting to see how her mother was. But just then, Fang Yan spoke.
"Your mother is fine now; she just fainted temporarily. Look at that sludge on the ground, and you’ll understand." Fang Yan’s voice was soft but clear enough for Wan’er to hear very clearly. However, his voice also carried a tone of anger, leaving people confused.
Upon hearing Fang Yan’s words, Wan’er and the other two imdiately looked at the puddle of black-red sludge on the ground, and when they paid attention to it, they were all instantly stunned!
"What is this!"
"Oh my god, why are there worms!"
"These... these worms..."
...
The three of them looked at the long red worms squirming in the black sludge, feeling so disgusted they wanted to vomit. They did not expect there to be such worms inside Wan’er’s mother. It was truly unbelievable. How could there be worms living inside a human body!
"These aren’t ordinary worms. They continuously erode the host’s body while absorbing the host’s Gang Qi, making the host weaker by the day, while the worms grow stronger day by day. Once they reach a certain stage, these worms will completely unleash, devouring your mother alive."
Fang Yan explained to Wan’er while looking at their stunned expressions. In fact, he was also puzzled internally. Wasn’t Sorcery Poison Technique supposed to be Earth’s specialty? How could Eternal Joy Immortal Realm also have it? How could this world have such things?
After hearing Fang Yan’s explanation, the faces of the three grew even paler. Just thinking about such disgusting worms residing inside the body made them feel even more nauseated. Especially Wan’er, when she thought about how her mother had suffered because of these worms, tears poured down like rain...
Just then, Wan’er’s mother woke up. Seeing the pool of pitch-black sludge on the ground and the few living worms, her face instantly changed, exclaiming, "How could it be this thing!"
She never could have dread that the thing tornting her for so long was this. She had always been puzzled, as a cultivator, how she could be so severely ill when all the doctors were helpless. Now she finally understood that what tornted her for so long was not illness but the thing right in front of her!
Suddenly, her eyes darkened, and her heart filled with indescribable sadness. She never imagined her forr beloved could be so malicious...
