Chapter 959

~9 min read 1,790 words

After winding around, they arrived at a garden.

Seeing Yang Qingcheng, Chen Ang hurriedly stepped forward to bow.

When he rose, he discovered that Yang Qingcheng's eyes were swollen like walnuts, and her complexion was extremely pale, looking terrible to the extreme.

"Chief's Lady..."

Before Chen Ang could finish, Yang Qingcheng said: "Chen Ang, if you truly want to marry Qing Mei, you don't need to be so polite, calling me Aunt is fine."

"Aunt, I see your complexion is poor, have you encountered a difficult problem?"

Chen Ang got straight to the point, which caught Yang Qingcheng off guard.

Looking left and right, her gaze was a bit panicked.

After confirming there was no one around, she asked in a low voice: "Chen Ang, could we borrow a step to talk?"

"Yes, please lead the way."

Turning around hurriedly, Yang Qingcheng headed straight for the West Wing room, specifically avoiding several main rooms along the way and taking a small path.

Following behind her, the two finally stopped in front of a room.

Pushing the door open to enter, Chen Ang discovered this was an abandoned study, and the courtyard was full of miscellaneous items, clearly having been desolate for a long time.

As soon as they entered, Yang Qingcheng's tears fell.

Seeing her tears hitting the ground in large drops, Chen Ang's expression was a bit panicked.

"Aunt, what is wrong with you?"

"Chen Ang, I beg you to save Qing Mei's father! Things have reached this point, I really have no other way, now only you can save him!"

Suddenly hearing this, Chen Ang's head was a bit dazed.

Seeing he didn't speak, Yang Qingcheng made a move to kneel.

Seeing her action, Chen Ang's heart instantly jumped to his throat, and he firmly caught her arm, stopping her movement.

"Aunt, you must not do this! Aren't you shaming me? If you treat me as one of your own, just say whatever you have to say, no need for this."

"Chen Ang, I have always treated you as one of my own, and I have always wanted to ask you. To tell the truth, this is not the first time I have had this thought. I even followed you all the way to your Human Clan, but Qing Mei was too embarrassed to speak and repeatedly rejected my suggestion, which dragged the matter until now, dragging my husband to his last breath!"

Hearing her confess this openly, Chen Ang hurriedly asked: "Aunt, you came to the Human Clan, was it to have me do something?"

"Yes! Things have reached this point, I won't hide it from you anymore. Qing Mei's father is poisoned by the Fugu Pear Blossom. Only the Moonflower of the Dragon Clan can dissolve this poison. The Dragon Clan is an ancient family and never gets close to people of our low rank. Only clans with a name like yours are qualified to visit. So I repeatedly went to find Qing Mei, wanting her to ask you for this, but she didn't want to trouble you, so she repeatedly rejected me. But things have reached this point, there really is no other way!"

After her explanation, Chen Ang finally understood why she had appeared at the inn and the Human Clan one after another. It turned out she didn't want to take Qing Mei away, but wanted Qing Mei to ask him for help!

Thinking about it, he also understood why Qing Mei had said her parents might set harsh conditions. It turned out those stars were the Moonflowers of the Dragon Clan!

"Chen Ang, I beg you, please save my husband! Our Butterfly Clan only associates with low-rank people, and clans with a name don't associate with us deeply, let alone help us with such a big favor. Now the only one I can beg is you! Please save him!"

As she spoke, Liu Qingcheng's tears fell in strings, and she cried bitterly.

Seeing her like this, Chen Ang hurriedly said: "Aunt, don't be anxious first. I will go ask for the Dragon Clan's Moonflower. Let me see Uncle first and see if I can help with anything."

"You... do you know medicine?"

"I know a thing or two, better than a village doctor."

Hearing his words, Yang Qingcheng's eyes brightened.

"Chen Ang, what you just promised about going to ask for the Dragon Clan's Moonflower, is it true?"

"True. I promised Qing Mei that even if you wanted the stars in the sky, I would find a way to pluck them down. This is my promise, and I will definitely fulfill it."

With these words from him, Yang Qingcheng's heart finally settled.

"Chen Ang, come with me."

Walking quickly in front, Yang Qingcheng didn't take the small path but took shortcuts everywhere, walking with rapid steps.

Following behind her, Chen Ang prepared some things on the way.

After entering the door, he headed straight for Qingshan's bedside.

Seeing Chen Ang, Qing Mei was a bit stunned.

"Chen Ang, why are you here?"

"I came to see if I can help with anything. Qing Mei, help me take the quilt off, and while you're at it, bring two basins of water, one cold, one hot, just put them aside. Right, also get a pot of drinking water, put them all here."

Hearing his words, Qing Mei subconsciously went to execute them.

After she left, Chen Ang turned to Yang Qingcheng and said: "Aunt, I am going to apply needles to Uncle. If you are afraid, go wait outside first."

"Chen Ang, you... are you sure?"

"Yes, don't worry. Uncle's situation is very serious now. If we don't treat him, I'm afraid even having the Dragon Clan's Moonflower will be useless."

Hearing this, Yang Qingcheng's eyes changed.

The doctor said the same thing when he left. Unexpectedly, Chen Ang also diagnosed it! From this, it can be seen that Chen Ang's medical skills are still very remarkable!

Breathing a heavy sigh of relief, Yang Qingcheng said: "Chen Ang, treat him as you will, I won't stay here to disturb you, I will wait outside, if there is anything, just call me, I will be at the door."

"Good, then I will trouble Aunt to guard the door for me, except for Qing Mei, don't let anyone else in, so as not to affect Uncle's treatment."

After Chen Ang was left alone in the room, he lined up the silver needles and took out the thickest one directly.

Parting Qingshan's hair, he reached out and touched the acupoint. Within a few seconds, that silver needle was inserted into the top of Qingshan's skull!

With one needle, Qingshan's complexion immediately improved.

Seeing his change, Chen Ang breathed a slight sigh of relief, picked up the slightly thinner one, and inserted it into another acupoint on the top of his head.

After two needles entered his body, the change in Qingshan was even greater.

Confirming the crisis had been resolved, Chen Ang then inserted the remaining needles.

When Qing Mei came in, Qingshan's body was already covered in needles.

Seeing his appearance, Qing Mei couldn't help but redden her eyes.

When she put the water aside, her hands were shaking.

She wanted to ask Chen Ang how Qingshan was doing, but seeing Chen Ang's focused appearance, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Now that Chen Ang was applying needles, she couldn't disturb him.

Just as Qing Mei was desperately suppressing her thoughts, Chen Ang suddenly spoke.

"Qing Mei, help me wipe the acupoints on Uncle's feet with cold water, use a little true Qi, just a little bit is enough."

"Good, I will do it right away."

Picking up the handkerchief on the side, Qing Mei wiped carefully.

With both of them acting, Qingshan's breathing finally became less rapid.

Sensing his change, Qing Mei's tears fell directly, and her hand movements became increasingly careful.

A moment later, Chen Ang said: "The water is lukewarm, change to hot water, continue wiping these acupoints, this time use a little Dantian Qi, don't use true Qi."

Carefully remembering his instructions, Qing Mei did it carefully again.

After a full half-stick of incense time, Chen Ang finally rose.

Stretching his sore waist, he raised his hand to stop Qing Mei on the side.

"It's fine, no need to wipe anymore, the water is cold, have someone take it down later."

Seeing he finally had time, Qing Mei hurriedly grabbed his hand and asked: "Chen Ang, how is my father now? Is he better?"

Turning to look at Qingshan, Chen Ang nodded.

"The main symptom of Fugu Pear Blossom poison is to erode a person's heart blood and essence, eventually leaving one skinny as a rail, without the strength to truss a chicken, and eventually dying in depression. Uncle's sudden poisoning was because his heart blood was exhausted, and his body no longer had the ability to fight the Fugu Pear Blossom poison, which is why he collapsed. Now I have sealed his meridians and stimulated his body to produce a large amount of true Qi to nourish his heart blood and essence, so he will be able to survive this disaster."

"Is it just surviving this disaster?"

Hearing Qing Mei's trembling question, Chen Ang thought for a moment and said: "Not just surviving this disaster, at the very least he will be able to hold on for a while, within half a year he shouldn't have the poison flare up again."

Once these words were out, Qing Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As far as she knew, Qingshan had had the poison flare up several times in the last few months, each time walking a round before the King of Hell, barely saving his life, and each time was more thrilling than the last. If it weren't for his good foundation, he probably wouldn't have lasted until now.

She had been outside before, and her mother was afraid she would worry, so she always downplayed things, only begging her to ask Chen Ang to go to the Dragon Clan. She thought it was no big deal, so she repeatedly refused.

Now seeing Qingshan like this, she regretted it so much her intestines were turning green!

Had she known he was forcing himself to walk several rounds before the King of Hell, she would never have let him suffer just for the sake of face!

A mere bit of face, how could it be more important than her father's life? Now that she thought about it, she was truly an unfilial daughter!

Trembling, she grabbed Chen Ang and asked with a shaking voice: "Chen Ang, are you willing to go to the Dragon Clan?"
