Chapter 389: Chapter 389

"When Master Xing Yi arrived here, my daughter was only three years old. By the time she was ten, she became gravely ill and ended up bedridden as a vegetable. I had no choice but to have someone provide her with nutrition intravenously, sustaining her life until now. In a year, my daughter will turn eighteen," said Chu Yunlong, his expression noticeably downcast.

Anyone whose daughter had been sick since the age of three, and after consulting countless renowned doctors remained incurable, and by the age of ten had completely taken to bed, devoid of all normal human capacities, would not feel at ease.

It was then that Master Xing Yi spoke, "Master, I had seen his daughter before. Her body was extremely cold to the touch, like ice, and there was a faint presence of evil energy emanating from her. I had no idea what was causing her illness, and naturally, I could not cure it. But I couldn't just stand by and watch her die, so I placed a Jade Pendant passed down from my master around the girl."

"Evil energy? It seems we'll need to uncover the reason behind the substantial amount of evil energy in her body in order to treat her," Xu Hao said.

Evil energy is different from Evil energy.

Evil energy is a naturally occurring gas between heaven and earth, often found in places that lack sunlight and are cold. However, evil energy typically originates from the human body, particularly from the bodies of women.

A small amount of evil energy is normal; all women produce it, and it's harmless to the body. But a great abundance of evil energy can freeze a person's internal organs and blood vessels, leading to mysterious deaths.

"Precisely!" affirmed Master Xing Yi, "Alas, I could not find the cause of the illness, so I could only suppress it, not cure it."

Chu Yunlong hurriedly added, "I'm indebted to Master Xing Yi for his generosity. He offered the Jade Pendant to save my daughter's life; otherwise, she might not have survived this long."

Shaking his head, Master Xing Yi replied, "Although I'm only a Feng Shui Master, I've also learned medical skills, and it's my duty to heal the sick and save lives. I could never just stand by and let someone die."

Xu Hao nodded in agreement. Having learned medical skills, one must naturally do their utmost to save those they can. Failing to do so would mean losing the very purpose of medical study. He suggested, "If that's the case, let's go see Mr. Chu's daughter at his home."

"Yes, yes, please, do come," Chu Yunlong quickly invited Xu Hao and his group to get into the car.

At this point, Lady Li spoke up, "Old man, you go ahead. Xue Zhu and I will head back first; we've been running around for so long, and at my age, I'm starting to feel fatigued."

Li Chenggong smiled and said, "Alright, you all go back together. Be careful on the way."

Jiang Xuezhun and Anna were somewhat reluctant, not wanting to be separated from Xu Hao. They had come here to stay close by his side, content even if they just stood silently to the side.

Especially Anna, who, after a few close calls, felt that staying by Xu Hao's side was the safest place for her.

Xu Hao smiled. Lady Li was overthinking it. She probably assumed that because he was going to look at another girl's illness, Jiang Xuezhun and Anna might get jealous, right?

But that was impossible.

Smiling, Xu Hao said, "Lady Li, please take Niuniu back. Xue Zhu and Anna haven't seen me for a long time. Let them stay by my side." The latest chapters are always available first on *.

"Please call me Li Lingniu, Master!" Li Lingniu pouted as she spoke.

"Alright, Niuniu," Xu Hao insisted.

"Hmph!" Li Lingniu clearly found it somewhat annoying that Xu Hao, though her master, was not much older than herself, but still pretended to be much older by calling her Niuniu.

"Fine, then. I'll take Niuniu and leave first," Lady Li said apologetically to the group, and, taking the eye-rolling Li Lingniu, they left.

Seeing Li Lingniu become so lively, Chu Yunlong expressed his disbelief, "Elder Master Li, if I may ask boldly, how has your daughter become so lively all of a sudden?"

Li Chenggong immediately replied with a proud expression, "All of this is thanks to the master. He completely cured Niuniu's albinism."

"What... What?" Chu Yunlong was stunned, turning quickly to Xu Hao with an urgent inquiry, "Young Master Xu, did you really completely cure Niuniu's albinism?"

Xu Hao nodded slightly.

Chu Yunlong, filled with hope, exclaimed, "Albinism is a genetic condition, and all genetic illnesses are said to be incurable. Yet you managed to cure albinism! Your medical skills have reached the pinnacle of the world! There must be hope for my daughter's illness."

Xu Hao replied, "We'll talk about whether she can be cured after we've seen her."

"Yes, yes, please get into the car."

Chu Yunlong's home was within a large courtyard, with cars boasting special license plates entering and exiting constantly.

On the second floor of his house, Xu Hao and his companions saw Chu Yunlong's daughter, quietly lying on a hospital bed, being tended to by a young female nurse.

She was a girl with an extreme pallor that differed from Li Lingniu's—beautiful, yet so heartbreakingly so.

It was summer, and despite the absence of air conditioning in the room, the coldness was still intense, as if it were winter. It all stemmed from Chu Yunlong's daughter, whose icy body resembled a millennia-old unmelting glacier.
