Chapter 168: He’s Going To Be Fine (Part 2)

When they arrived at the woodhouse on the top, Fengling reached out to knock on the door.

“Mom, I’m back.”

A commotion was heard from inside the woodhouse before the wooden door was pushed open. An enchanting, beautiful lady, who carried with her a faint fragrance, appeared before Chen Ziyu. Her features were even more outstanding than Fengling’s. They did not look like mother and daughter as they stood side by side. Instead, they appeared more like sisters.

“She is even more lethal,” Wang Damang murmured subconsciously.

“Ling, who are they?” Fengling’s mother asked in confusion as she stared at Chen Ziyu and his gang.

“Mother, they have meat!” Fengling flaunted the jerky she got earlier in front of her mother’s nose.

“Gulp!” Fengling’s mother swallowed a mouthful of saliva before she quickly flung the door open.

“Welcome, my precious guests!”

Looking at Fengling’s avid mother, Wang Damang could not help but raise his doubt in the live chat channel.

“Is meat really that tasty? For the first time, I find meat so powerful.”

“Try to eat only grass and no meat for ten years before you talk about this topic again,” Chen Ziyu said in an indifferent tone.

Wang Damang shut up at once.

After being ushered into the house, a pleasant smell of herbs gushed toward them. Chen Ziyu and his gang had their eyes fixed on a silhouette that was completely covered by purple grass.

[Xiao Tian (Ghost General Intermediate Stage)]:

Character Information: The leader of the Xiao Tian Army, one of the eight mightiest armies under the rule of the Sea King. He lost the precious treasure of the Sea King due to his negligence and was removed from his position as the leader. He was punished physically to near death. After his direct subordinates risked their lives to salvage him, he escaped to the ocean and later drifted to Sunset Island before being saved by the Singingwood Clan by chance.

Character State: Heavily wounded (Extremely severe)

Chen Ziyu, “Hi…!”

Wang Damang, “Wow…!”

Xue Li, “Haha!”

Staring at the mummy-like silhouette who was wrapped in straw, a smile was gradually carved across the trio’s faces.

“We’re going to be rich!”

“Yes, we’re gonna be rich! He’s heavily wounded. Yes!”

“We’re going to earn a great profit! It’s time to harvest his remaining health and power.”

“Do you know each other?” noticing that Chen Ziyu and his friends were staring at Xiao Tian since the beginning, Fengling’s mother asked.

“Oh, we’re old friends. Of course we know each other. We’ve been looking for him for a long time. It’s a surprise to see him here. I guess we were destined to meet,” Chen Ziyu said with a grin on his face.

“Yes yes yes, he’s Xiao Tian. We’re close buddies. We’re not real brothers but we’re as close as brothers,” Wang Damang added.

With only his eyes revealed, Xiao Tian watched the men, who addressed him as their brother, with an indescribable fear across his eyes.

He certainly knew these creatures. They were the ones who led him to this stage. However, he did not expect that they would still not let him go. They were here for him even when he had lost everything he had and was barely clinging onto his life.

He recalled that these liars told him that they were sea merchants. Now, they were again lying to the mother and daughter duo of the Singingwood Clan, saying that they were his brothers. Xiao Tian despaired when he saw Fengling and her mother’s convinced expression.

Liars should all die a terrible death!

“Hey, Brother Xiao Tian, what got you into this state? As your brother, I’m heartbroken,” Wang Damang stepped to Xiao Tian’s side, gently patted on Xiao Tian’s chest as if he was extremely concerned about Xiao Tian.

If he could move, Xiao Tian would have bitten these shameless guys’ heads off.

“Brother Xiao Tian, your elderly mother is missing you dearly. She is talking about you all day. Since we’ve found you, we must bring you home regardless,” Chen Ziyu approached Xiao Tian as he said in a sorrowful tone.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian’s eyes were filled with despair. He knew what consequences he would face if he was really taken away by these liars.

He struggled as he began to sob.

“Brother, I know you’re excited to see us, too. However, your health is more important. Don’t hurt yourself,” Wang Damang quickly held onto Xiao Tian’s shivering body.

Fengling and her mother were both touched by the scene.

They were moved, thinking about how many intolerable days these people went through just to find their brother.

Xiao Tian put in more strength crying as he struggled.

Do not believe them, you guys! Dammit, can’t you see their cunning smiles? Are you fools? Don’t hand me to them, please!

Underneath, Xiao Tian had an urge to holler at the mother and daughter standing there. He wanted to warn Fengling and her mother, but his mouth was sealed tightly by the leaves. His body could not even move an inch as he was so badly injured. He could only blink relentlessly, hoping someone could read his mind.

However, Fengling and her mother did not even lay an eye on him. Their gazes had been completely attracted by the meat jerky in Chen Ziyu’s hand.

“Thank you for saving my brother’s life. I can never repay your kindness. Here’s some more jerky as a token of appreciation for you,” said Chen Ziyu, as he handed the meat to Fengling’s mother.

Fengling’s mother trembled as she received the jerky with both hands. Her eyes were fixed on the meat as if she was looking at a rare and precious treasure.

However, in the presence of guests, Fengling’s mother suppressed her desire to eat it right away. She put it on the wooden table before she turned to face Chen Ziyu and his mates again.

“My precious guests, your brother was discovered by a member of our clan on the shore the day before yesterday. He was dying. Although I saved him from death’s door, his health is still in a critical state. If you’re not in a hurry, please give me three more days to cure him. I promise that he’ll fully recover within the next three days.”

Upon listening to Fengling’s mother’s words, Chen Ziyu and the rest were rooted to the ground.

They said in unison, “We’re in a hurry. A great hurry, in fact.”

The trio shared the same thought. They wanted to stop Fengling’s mother from curing Xiao Tian. If she happened to successfully cure him, all of the members of the Great Dragon Guild together would be no match for Xiao Tian alone.

“However, if I don’t treat him soon, your brother’s injuries may exacerbate because his organs were badly wounded. It seems like he has been attacked by a powerful blow and a lot of his internal organs have been moved. If he’s not attended to soon enough, he might have to face the end…”

“Thanks for your kind intent, but we can’t stay any longer. My brother’s injury will be fine as his elderly mother is also a skillful physician. She can revive the dead and grow flesh on bones. As long as he’s still breathing, it will be alright. On top of that, my brother is really tough. He will not die easily,” Chen Ziyu quickly added.

“Retch!”

Xiao Tian’s injury was aggravated by Chen Ziyu’s explanation. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, dyeing the grass before him red.

No matter how tough I am, my life is not for you guys to play with. Besides, you lied about my non-existent skillful physician mother. You’re such liars! Liars! You’ll die a gruesome death! I hate you…

Seeing Xiao Tian, who coughed up blood, Fengling’s mother was stunned.

“He’s really going to be fine?”

“He’s going to be fine!” the three of them answered.
