Chapter 472: Dazzling Sun

No, what is this ghost?

Wang Ping'an, as soon as he activated his Dharma Eye, fixed his gaze on Zhu Lancui's abdomen and vaguely saw a cluster of red light inside, blazing like flames; upon closer look, it shone as dazzling as the sun.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

The next moment, one faint air blast after another rang out, as Wang Ping'an sensed an extremely terrifying energy emanating from the blazing fire in Zhu Lancui's abdomen.

He withdrew his Dharma Eye at once, but it was still a step too late; a strand of terrifying energy surged out from Zhu Lancui's abdomen.

Fortunately.

Wang Ping'an's body generated clumps of magical power, instantly forming shield after shield before his eyes to repel the incoming terrifying energy.

Otherwise.

This time, using his Dharma Eye to peer into Zhu Lancui's abdomen, he might still not have uncovered why Zhu Lancui is the way she is, why she has been unmarried and pregnant for so many years.

His own eyes would, nine times out of ten, be ruined by this strand of terrifying energy, leaving him blind.

"Li Ping, did you hear something just now?"

Cao Nainai said in surprise.

Members of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family also heard the sudden air blast, looked around, examined for a long time, yet could not locate its source.

"Aunt, there was a sound just now, but I don't know what it was!"

Li Ping said, looking bewildered.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Chengyong suddenly noticed Zhu Lancui trembling all over, her face slightly pale, startled, and hurriedly shouted.

Zhu Lancui forced herself to endure the discomfort in her abdomen; just moments ago everything was fine, yet suddenly she felt uneasy, and pretended nothing was wrong, saying:

"I'm fine!"

"Lancui, look at you like that, and you still say you're fine?"

Cao Nainai looked at Zhu Lancui with sympathy and said, "Li Ping, Dr. Cai has arrived; why don't you invite Dr. Cai to see what's wrong with Lancui? Whether it's a serious or minor illness, it won't be delayed. Dr. Cai the physician always said that many serious illnesses are caused by minor ones!"

She knew clearly that Zhu Lancui had been married to Zhang Chengyong for many years yet could not bear a child, even after countless physicians examined them and declared both were healthy; their childlessness was simply fate not yet arrived.

But Zhang Family Village still had many gossiping women who often whispered strange remarks about Zhu Lancui, calling her a hen that doesn't lay eggs.

If it weren't for the deep bond between Zhang Chengyong and Zhu Lancui, and the fact that Zhu Lancui's natal family was not easy to offend, who knows how many gossiping women would have suggested that Zhang Chengyong divorce Zhu Lancui and find a hen that can lay eggs.

Zhu Lancui was filial to her in-laws; she handled all matters of the Zhang household, and even as an outsider, she was well liked as a daughter-in-law.

Her only flaw was, after many years of marriage, she still hadn't borne a child.

Naturally, they didn't want anything bad to happen to Zhu Lancui!

"I'll go right now!"

Li Ping nodded, stood up to leave, and saw Zhu Lancui open her mouth, realizing she wanted to say something; before she could speak, Li Ping cut in:

"Lancui, just invite Dr. Cai over to take a look; it might not even be serious. Dr. Cai is a top-notch physician; if there's nothing, he won't charge!"

Zhang Chengyong urged, "Sister-in-law, let my mother bring Dr. Cai over for you to see."

Wang Ping'an watched Li Ping's departing back, then gazed at Zhu Lancui's abdomen, recalling the scene he saw with his Dharma Eye: a blazing fireball in her belly, dazzling as the sun and especially threatening. In his mind a myriad of thoughts swirled, and he couldn't help to wonder silently: 'My aunt, what's really going on in her abdomen? Could that blazing fireball be why she's been childless for years?'

Soon enough.

Li Ping returned, accompanied by an elderly man with white hair and a youth in his teens or twenties carrying a medicine box.

"Lancui, are you alright?"

When Cai Yong'an saw Zhu Lancui, he immediately asked, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wang Ping'an beside him, whose eyes lit up in surprise, and he said:

"Lancui, is this your child with Chengze?"

Zhu Lancui and Zhang Chengze were renowned far and near, not because of any astonishing achievements, but because after many years of marriage they still had no child.

Yet after countless physician examinations, whether it was Zhu Lancui or Zhang Chengyong, both were healthy and fertile, yet still childless, making it hard not to attract attention.

After all, continuing the family line is the most important matter for common folk and wealthy families alike!

Moreover, physicians are especially curious about puzzling ailments; the case of Zhu Lancui and Zhang Chengyong was their first encounter, and it's hard not to remember it vividly.

"No, this is my younger aunt's child!"

A fleeting hint of loneliness flashed in Zhu Lancui's eyes.

She had been married to Zhang Chengze for so many years yet could not give him a child; how could she not know that many gossiping women blamed her behind her back, leaving her with considerable guilt.

This novel you...

It's not because of the gossiping women's remarks, but because she feels sorry for her husband Chengze; she knows better than anyone that Chengze loves children the most.

She only fears that she might think too much, and never dares to show it in front of her.

She could never forget, these days, when Zhang Chengze, during his free time, teased Wang Ping'an, the happy expression on his face.

She didn't know how much...

"It's your younger aunt, but Wang Ruhai, the top scholar..."

Cai Yong'an's face was full of surprise, about to say something, but before he could finish, he suddenly...

"Lancui, your mother says you're feeling unwell; extend your hand, let me see!"

Wang Ruhai divorced his wife, and his parents cut ties with him, even holding a funeral at home to show their stance.

Obviously.

Mentioning Wang Ruhai in front of the Wang family is not a good thing.

Zhu Lancui extended her hand and said, "Dr. Cai, please!"

"Can this Dr. Cai really discern anything?"

Wang Ping'an watched Cai Yong'an appear before him, curiously eyeing him, hoping to obtain the information he sought; suddenly a flash of insight flickered in his mind, and he thought to himself:

"I'm so confused, how did I forget? I think I also can diagnose!"

Innate talent: observation, listening, questioning, pulse diagnosis!

"How could this happen?"

Wang Ping'an forced himself to endure the shock in his heart, and widened his eyes.

He never expected, however, that using the innate talent—Observe, Smell, Question, Pulse—to examine his aunt's condition.

To be precise, he wanted to look at the sun‑like red glow in his aunt's abdomen to see what it actually was, and the result he obtained made him unable to believe it.
