Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 110: Bitter? Not Bitter

Looking at Chu Yang's serious expression, Tie Butian was somewhat taken aback. He recalled what Chu Yang had said: "She is my life!" But now it seemed, how could she be his life? In his heart, this little girl was clearly more important than his own life!

Who was this little girl? Could she be his sister?

Naturally, for such a delicate and lovely girl, Tie Butian would absolutely not suspect that Chu Yang had any romantic feelings for her—after all, she was only around ten years old, how could it be possible?

Watching Chu Yang take large sips of the medicine, then hold it in his mouth for a moment to let the temperature cool down before carefully passing it to her; that patience, that soul-deep care, made Tie Butian's heart suddenly thump heavily!

Unable to help but turn his head away.

After finally feeding the bowl of medicine, Chu Yang propped himself up and asked, “Mr. Du, how many more times does she need to take this medicine?”

“Medicine like today’s is enough to take just once. After this bowl goes down, you need to help her expel the blood, so the medicinal effect spreads faster. By tonight, she should be able to wake up,” Du Shiqing said, glancing at the sky; it was already afternoon.

“At that time, I’ll prepare a few more doses for her. In seven or eight days, she’ll be able to get up and walk, her life will be safe. The internal injuries can heal, but her three yin meridians... there’s nothing I can do about that.”

Du Shiqing raised his head and looked at Chu Yang: “This kind of internal injury has no cure in today’s world. You shouldn’t waste your energy on it.”

It was clear that Du Shiqing saw through Chu Yang's thoughts; without his words, Chu Yang would undoubtedly have traveled to the ends of the earth to seek medical treatment for this little girl. He was capable of doing that!

Chu Yang's care for this little girl had evidently reached a point where he would disregard everything else; this was something anyone could see.

Du Shiqing might not be anything in other aspects; but in terms of medical skills, he was an authority even among the best! His saying this meant that Mo Qingwu's internal injuries were absolutely unsolvable.

Chu Yang certainly understood this and also grasped the meaning behind Du Shiqing's words; after all the effort he had made to reach this point, he should not waste his whole life for a disease that held no hope!

“Those legendary rare and precious treasures... can’t help either?” Chu Yang asked desperately.

“Perhaps you don’t know what kind of poison this is; but I can assert that this is the legendary ‘Dark Demon’s Poison.’ If it weren’t for entering the three yin meridians, with my medical skills, it wouldn’t be difficult to completely cure it, even if it took some effort. But once it has entered the three yin meridians; even an immortal would be at a loss!”

Du Shiqing said solemnly: “Even if all nine great elixirs in the world were gathered together, it would absolutely not be able to cure her completely!” After a pause, he looked at Chu Yang gently and said, “Chu Yang, what I can do is to try my best to suppress her injuries after she wakes up; suppress them to a point where they won’t affect her survival; won’t affect her lifespan; even if she later marries and has children, she will be fine. If she’s lucky, she can live to a hundred years! It’s just that she will stop progressing in martial arts!”

“For a woman, this is equivalent to being the same as a normal person,” Du Shiqing said earnestly.

Chu Yang sighed heavily and lowered his head. “Not even the nine great elixirs can cure her,” this statement was a crushing blow to him. It made the hope in his heart truly vanish.

For other women, perhaps it was the same. But for Mo Qingwu, it was absolutely different! In his previous life, if it weren’t for this damned illness, how could Mo Qingwu have been ambushed and perish?

Mo Qingwu had never mentioned her family background, but Chu Yang knew that she undoubtedly came from a powerful noble family; that innate elegance and nobility could not be cultivated by a small household.
