Zhao Yuening stared in disbelief, exclaiming, "What kind of pill is this? It has such potent medicinal power!"
"It's a secret," Su Chen said calmly, then turned and went back into the city. Zhao Yuening was stunned for a few seconds before hurriedly following him. At that moment, Su Chen was sitting under the pavilion, pouring himself a cup of tea.
Zhao Yuening also came to the pavilion and sat opposite Su Chen. She poured herself a cup of tea, and then subconsciously glanced at Su Chen. She was really curious about what Su Chen looked like under the mask. As she looked, she didn't even notice that the tea had spilled, until Su Chen reminded her.
Zhao Yuening put down the teapot, covered her face with her hands, and looked extremely embarrassed. " Zhao Yuening Zhao Yuening, why are you staring at him like that? Haven't you ever seen a handsome guy before? How embarrassing!"
Su Chen took a sip of tea, then said, "I agree."
Upon hearing Zhao Yuening was slightly taken aback and asked in confusion, "Agree to what?"
"Go to Prince Zhao's Residence to treat your father's illness," Su Chen said calmly.
"Really!" Zhao Yuening jumped up, overwhelmed with excitement. He had been waiting for Su Chen to say this for over a year!
"Uh." Su Chen nodded. He had just figured it out. He needed to cure Zhao Yuening's father's illness as soon as possible, otherwise Zhao Yuening might really cling to him. Actually, Su Chen didn't care if she clung to him; he had plenty of time to play with her. But he was afraid that Zhao Yuening would develop feelings for him. Once she did, it would be all over!
Su Chen absolutely could not allow this to happen. Mainly, he couldn't explain it to his family, and secondly, he already had too many wives and had no desire to continue associating with them. Therefore, Su Chen wanted to resolve Zhao Yuening's matter as soon as possible so that Zhao Yuening wouldn't keep bothering him.
The next day, Su Chen hung a sign at the door that read "Temporarily Closed." After exchanging a few words with Jianxin, he and Zhao Yuening left Moon-Eclipsing Star and headed to the Prince Zhao's Residence.
The Prince Zhao's Residence was located on a planet called Burning Abyss Star. At this moment, the Prince Zhao's Residence was deathly still, and many people were weeping because the King Zhao was about to die.
Inside the palace, Xuan Ji sat by the bed, clinging to the dying King Zhao, weeping heart-wrenchingly, repeatedly crying out, "No, no, I don't want King Zhao to die!"
Zhao Linyuan knelt to one side, weeping silently.
At this moment, King Zhao was much weaker than before, coughing up blood from time to time. With each cough, his life force weakened further, and he probably wouldn't make it through the night.
Looking at Xuan Ji, who was crying her heart out for him, King Zhao was touched and forced a smile. "Don't cry anymore, it won't look good if you keep crying."
"Waaah... I don't want you to die, I don't want you to!" Xuan Ji cried even louder.
"Alas," King Zhao sighed. How he longed to live! But this was his fate, and no one could change it.
"Has Yuening returned?" King Zhao suddenly asked.
"I've already notified them, but I haven't received a reply." A glint of light flashed in Xuan Ji's eyes, but she spoke through sobs.
"Sigh, what on earth did that girl do? Did she not even see her father one last time?" King Zhao's expression was complicated. Just then, two figures suddenly walked in from outside the door.
"Father!" Zhao Yuening looked at the King Zhao of Zhao and rushed to his side, her expression filled with grief.
The moment Xuan Ji saw Zhao Yuening, her face darkened instantly, but only for a moment before she returned to her previous state of heart-wrenching sobs.
"Girl, you've finally decided to come back." King Zhao looked at Zhao Yuening and forced a smile, saying, "If you hadn't come back, I'm afraid you wouldn't have seen me tonight."
"No! Father, you'll be alright! You'll definitely be alright!" Zhao Yuening was heartbroken, and for a moment, she even forgot about Su Chen, whom she had invited to treat the Prince of King Zhao.
" Yuening is right, my husband, you will definitely be alright. By the way, medicine, Linyuan, quickly go and bring the medicine!" Xuan Ji said to Zhao Linyuan.
Zhao Linyuan nodded, quickly got up, and ran out of the hall.
"I'm about to die, why would I need medicine?" King Zhao said with a wry smile.
"What if a miracle happens?" Xuan Ji said.
"A miracle? I've been taking this medicine for so many years, and no miracle has ever happened!" King Zhao said bitterly.
At this moment, Zhao Linyuan brought in the medicine. As he passed by Su Chen, Su Chen frowned subconsciously as he looked at the medicine in the bowl. Then he glanced at King Zhao and then at Xuan Ji, and immediately understood what was going on. His brows gradually relaxed, and he returned to his usual calm.
"Stop talking, here, take your medicine." Xuan Ji took the medicine bowl, picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and then blew on it to cool it down quickly. King Zhao didn't want to disappoint Xuan Ji's good intentions, so he opened his mouth. Just as the spoon was about to be put into his mouth, a hand suddenly grabbed Xuan Ji's arm, causing the medicine on the spoon to spill onto the bed.
"Insolence!" Xuan Ji was furious when she saw this. She tried to shake off Su Chen's hand, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not break free. Then, Su Chen's right hand gradually exerted force, Xuan Ji felt as if her bones were about to break. Her face immediately turned into one of extreme pain.
"Let go of my mother!" Zhao Linyuan roared, trying to step forward to help, but he was suppressed by an invisible pressure and couldn't move at all. This shocked him, and his eyes showed fear.
"What are you all standing there for? Kill him now!" Xuan Ji said angrily, glaring at the Zhao Household's powerful figures despite her pain.
Upon hearing this, the group of powerful figures immediately reacted and prepared to make a move. However, just like Zhao Linyuan, they were all suppressed in place by that invisible pressure and could not move. Among these powerful figures, there were many Immortal Venerable!
If even Immortal Venerable can be suppressed, just who is this man in black before us?
True God?
Upon realizing this, the Zhao Household experts' eyelids twitched, their hearts filled with shock, and their eyes were filled with fear of Su Chen.
"What are you doing!" Seeing that they hadn't made a move yet, Xuan Ji was completely enraged.
The Zhao Household experts wanted to say something, but the oppressive aura made it difficult for them to even breathe, and speaking was nothing short of a pipe dream.
Wang Ye, a man who had seen his share of storms, was astonished to see his trusted confidants frozen in place, completely inactive. He immediately realized something, suppressed his shock, and looked at Zhao Yuening, who was still utterly bewildered, asking, " Yuening, who is he?"
Zhao Yuening, taken aback by the question, suddenly realized what was happening. Her expression changed drastically, and without asking why, she directly ordered Su Chen, "What are you doing? Let go of my mother!"
Su Chen frowned, glanced at Zhao Yuening, and remained silent...
Happy Labor Day! I took a day off yesterday, sorry about that, muah!
