If you don’t get sufficient nutrition, your bones won’t be able to support your movements, making them as fragile as glass and prone to fractures…” To spark her curiosity, Lv Zhong straightforwardly discloses Mu Qiongfang’s condition. “Ah…” Mu Qiongfang was startled, then realized. She thought that Yan Yan had told Lv Zhong about her condition. However, Yan Yan next to her was also surprised, her beautiful eyes blinking rapidly at Lv Zhong, she incredulously asked, “Lv… Lv Zhong, how do you know about my mother’s condition?” At this time, Yan Yan didn’t care about being shy. Hearing her daughter’s words, Mu Qiongfang realized that her daughter hadn’t told Lv Zhong about her condition, but it was uncannily diagnosed by Lv Zhong himself, which sparked her curiosity. Seeing that both mother and daughter were staring at him, Lv Zhong cracked a faint smile. Rather than directly answering Yan Yan’s question, he continued, “The disease Aunt Mu is suffering from is not osteoporosis. However, your condition shows some of the characteristics of osteoporosis, even resembling the traits of multiple myeloma. Aunt Mu, am I right?” At this moment, Mu Qiongfang had a stunned expression on her face, and Yan Yan, too, was so shocked she couldn’t speak. Indeed, the diagnosis analysed by Lv Zhong was not far off. After Mu Qiongfang was admitted to the New Affiliated Second Hospital, she underwent numerous tests, and the doctors’ conclusions closely mirrored Lv Zhong’s diagnosis. Mu Qiongfang intently looked at the young man before her, who looked like a student. Seeing his spirited expression and confident demeanour, she felt slightly dazzled. Lv Zhong was a good student, being the top in his grade according to Yan Yan, and seemingly skilled in martial arts as well. Even hoodlums couldn’t lay a finger on him. Now, he had instantly diagnosed her illness – his medical skills seemed remarkable. He was indeed a dark horse. Such a respectful and modest teenager who was around eighteen or nineteen years old. If it wasn’t for Yan Yan coincidentally getting his help, he would still be maintaining his low-profile demeanor.

Yan Yan, on the other hand, held absolute respect for Lv Zhong at this point. The beautiful pair of eyes she used to look at Lv Zhong were now gradually showing a hint of emotion that she hadn’t expressed before. At such a young and naive age when fantasies and emotions prevail, Lv Zhong, being tall and handsome with great academic achievements, seemed rather cold in school. However, through their interaction, Yan Yan felt that Lv Zhong had a heart of gold. He was a man of both letter and sword. It seemed that only she knew about his abilities in the entire school. All of a sudden, Yan Yan found herself starting to have feelings for Lv Zhong. Her heart was leaping like a galloping deer. For a moment, her cheeks flushed once again. Lv Zhong was oblivious to Yan Yan’s feelings. In his mind, Yan Yan was a very shy girl. It was normal for her to blush. Gazing at Mu Qiongfang lying on the hospital bed, Lv Zhong said to her in his most sincere tone, “Aunt Mu, some doctors may think that you won’t be able to hold on for another three months. However, if you trust me, I can cure your disease within a month…” Having said this, Lv Zhong’s face was filled with confidence. Lv Zhong didn’t know if there was a powerful cultivator in this world who could eradicate the [Marrow Sucking Worm], but he was confident that no ordinary doctor could cure Mu Qiongfang’s disease. Even if top-notch high-tech equipment was used to kill the [Marrow Sucking Worm], it wouldn’t be able to replenish the lost vitality within Mu Qiongfang’s body, making her survival still impossible. But Lv Zhong was different! With the pathogenic worm providing a robust [Life Source Force], he believed that he could help Mu Qiongfang to fully recover. He had confidence in that. What? Upon hearing his words, Yan Yan couldn’t hold back her tears of joy. Her lack of experience in society prevented her from telling how genuine Lv Zhong was. Instinctively, she believed in Lv Zhong, even though she knew her mother’s disease was extremely difficult to treat. After hearing Lv Zhong’s words, she immediately believed him. “Lv… Lv Zhong, are… are you serious? Can you really cure my mother’s disease?” An excited Yan Yan grabbed Lv Zhong’s arm, her voice trembling as she asked. Her beautiful big eyes were filled with shimmering teardrops. At that moment, she was no longer shy, looking at Lv Zhong in full anticipation. Lv Zhong gave a faint smile and did not tug his arm away from Yan Yan’s grip. His gaze softened as he looked at Yan Yan and nodded affirmatively, “Yes, it’s true.” However, after Lv Zhong answered Yan Yan, he turned his gaze onto Mu Qiongfang. Only when Mu Qiongfang agreed, would he advise her to discharge from the hospital and commence the treatment. Having heard Lv Zhong’s words, Mu Qiongfang was taken aback. Her initial response was despair, thinking she got the wrong impression of him. It turned out that the young man was just a fraudster. But soon after, she shook her head denying her thoughts, looking at Lv Zhong’s sincere face. Besides, Lv Zhong was still a student and it was Yan Yan who brought him along. He seemed to have no intention of deceiving her. In addition, their family was not rich to start with. She had already spent hundreds of thousands in the past month, draining the family’s savings accumulated over the years. Even if he wanted to commit fraud, he probably wouldn’t target her. Moreover, he was a student of City First School with outstanding academic records. Naturally, his future was promising and he wouldn’t resort to fraud, risking his future… Although Mu Qiongfang was a rural housewife, she was not oblivious; she could tell that Lv Zhong was not a fraudster. Moreover, Lv Zhong was right. Many doctors have asserted that she had less than three months of life left. That made her extremely desperate. She has not yet seen her daughter go to college, nor seen her get married and have children. She was really reluctant to leave the world, to part with her dear daughter and her daughter’s father. Now that she heard Lv Zhong had a way to treat her, her heart stirred. “Little Lv, can you really treat my disease? You’re not lying to me?” Even though she didn’t see Lv Zhong as a fraudster, an excited Mu Qiongfang still wanted Lv Zhong’s direct confirmation. Lv Zhong gave a bitter smile and said, “Aunt Mu, Yan Yan and I are classmates. Besides, we’re both from Sangtang Town. If I really tried to deceive you, I probably wouldn’t be able to stay in school, let alone in Sangtang Town, right?” Mu Qiongfang thought the same thing. If Lv Zhong really wanted to deceive her, he wouldn’t have chosen her. After all, she already knew some information about Lv Zhong. The so-called “a monk can run away but the temple can’t” is exactly what she was thinking about. “Okay! Since you’ve said so, Lv, then I’ll leave my life in your hands.” Mu Qiongfang excitedly agreed to Lv Zhong’s proposition. But then, she looked at Lv Zhong with a bit of confusion and asked, “Lv, what should I do to cooperate with your treatment?” Lv Zhong thought about it and said with a light smile, “Aunt Mu, there’s no need to hurry. First, we’ll go arrange for your discharge from the hospital tomorrow. We don’t need to waste money staying in the hospital. After leaving the hospital, you can just stay at home and I’ll make some time to visit and treat your illness at noon every day. For a month, you won’t have to spend any money, and I can guarantee you’ll recover your health…” “Okay! I agree!” Mu Qiongfang readily agreed. Since she decided to trust Lv Zhong, she would not hesitate. Of course, the key thing is she didn’t want to stay in the hospital any longer. In fact, she demanded to be discharged from the hospital a month ago due to her deep love for her husband and daughter. But her husband and daughter desperately pleaded for her to stay in the hospital. Overwhelmed by their love and feeling guilty, she stayed in the hospital for so long. This time, the arrival of Lv Zhong is an opportunity. Truth be told, although she believes that Lv Zhong is not a scammer, she still has doubts about his medical skills. Her agreement to be discharged has nothing to do with Lv Zhong! Being a cultivator and having spiritual sense, Lv Zhong could sense a hint of Mu Qiongfang’s thoughts, but he didn’t find it unexpected. Once he started the treatment, Mu Qiongfang would be able to feel it. But Yan Yan, who was standing next to them, hesitated when she heard Lv Zhong advising her mother to be discharged. She bit her lip, looked at Lv Zhong, but she didn’t know what to say to him. For a while, she was in a daze, even forgetting that she was still holding Lv Zhong’s arm. Lv Zhong smiled, give Yan Yan’s hand a gentle pat and said with confidence, “Just trust me. I won’t let you down.” “Okay!” Looking at Lv Zhong’s confident smile, for some reason, Yan Yan felt calm. It seemed that as long as Lv Zhong was by her side, every difficulty would be easily overcome. After discussing with Mu Qiongfang and Yan Yan, Lv Zhong left the hospital room. As for Yan Yan, she stayed in the room to feed her mother and didn’t leave with Lv Zhong. Before leaving the Affiliated Second Hospital, Lv Zhong went to the artificial pond and chatted with the ghost Zhao Xin for a while. He then checked on the Mother Insect of Soul-Devouring Worm that was absorbing the Soul-Gathering Stone. To his surprise, Lv Zhong found that the Mother Insect of the Soul Devouring Worm had completely absorbed one of the Soul-Gathering Stones and had impressively advanced to Level 2. After communicating with the Mother Insect, Lv Zhong was shocked once more! He found that the abilities of the Mother Insect had changed significantly! [Mother Insect of Soul-Devouring Worm]: Type: Mother Insect, Level: Level 2, Controlled insect level: Level 2 and below, Quantity limit: 100 Level 1 larvae, 10,000 Level 0 larvae. Unique Talent: Soul Attack Thorn Level 2, Memory Copy Level 1 … With the advancement of the Mother Insect of Soul-Devouring Worm, the level and quantity of the larvae it could control had increased. What excited Lv Zhong the most was that the Mother Insect of the Soul-Devouring Worm had gained another unique talent! Through his communication with the Mother Insect, Lv Zhong understood what this Memory Copy ability was. As the name implies, this ability allows one to copy some memories from ghosts or human souls. If Lv Zhong’s English wasn’t good, he could secretly find someone who was good at English and copy some English related memories. If Lv Zhong wanted to rob, after stealing someone’s bank card, he could also directly command the Soul-Devouring Worm to search for the password in the person’s soul… In short, this ability is also very amazing! He gave some instructions to the Mother Insect, asking her to send out some larvae to monitor and protect Mu Qiongfang and Yan Yan, then Lv Zhong left the hospital cheerfully.
