Chapter 1411: Chapter 1396: Lost and Found
“Don’t look, Ningning, don’t…”
On the bed, Mr. Liang painfully closed his eyes, seemingly trying to escape Huo Sining’s scorching gaze.
“How could this happen?!”
Huo Sining’s face revealed an expression of disbelief, seemingly oblivious to Mr. Liang’s pleas. Without regard for the strange symptoms on Mr. Liang, she stretched out her hand and placed it on the edge of the bed.
Under the Heavenly Eye Skill, everything beca clearer. Penetrating the clothes tightly wrapped around her father’s body, what Huo Sining saw was a body covered in scales, with faintly visible translucent, leathery wing-like structures growing on his arms and sides, appearing extrely strange.
If Huo Sining hadn’t already seen Qibao and Su Lan transform into their true rfolk forms, she might have fainted upon first seeing these things on Mr. Liang.
However, even so, Huo Sining found it difficult to accept. She stared blankly at the bizarre sight on Mr. Liang, not knowing what to do for a long mont. She finally asked with difficulty, “How… did you end up like this?”
Mr. Liang didn’t respond, just looked up and down at Huo Sining. This was the first ti he earnestly looked at his child in such an open situation since learning he had an adult daughter.
His eyes revealed a look of nostalgia, guilt, and gratitude. As he looked, his eyes began to fill with tears, and he sighed:
“I’ve wronged you, Yin Yin, but… but Yin Yin gave
a good daughter. You did well in New York, you didn’t disgrace the prestige of Huaxia Country… It’s a pity, cough, cough, it’s a pity your mother can’t see it.”
Yin Yin refers to Huo Sining’s mother, Huo Yinyin.
Huo Sining had countless questions she wanted to ask Liang Ruining, but seeing her father start coughing uncontrollably after saying this, the wound on his chest where the bullet had hit showed signs of fresh blood surging out again after his violent cough. Huo Sining no longer cared about asking those random questions. For now, preserving her father’s life was the most important thing.
“Don’t speak anymore!” Seeing this situation, Huo Sining beca anxious, holding Mr. Liang’s hand to press him back into the bed, then turned her head to signal Qibao beside her, “Qibao, quickly get a dry towel and so clean water, I need to treat the wound!”
Qibao knew Huo Sining’s Spirit of Azure Pearl could heal wounds, so upon hearing her words, he imdiately turned and ran to the washroom, soon returning with a basin of warm water.
Huo Sining didn’t hide anything, directly reaching out her hand to her father’s chest, softly saying, “I need to find a way to get the bullet out. No matter what happens, don’t be nervous or too shocked. If you have any questions, we’ll explain slowly after the wound is treated.”
As she spoke, Huo Sining discreetly activated the Spirit of Azure Pearl.
Two years ago, when Huo Sining first used the Spirit of Azure Pearl to heal Gu Xu’s gunshot wound, it drained all her Spiritual Energy just to barely pull Gu Xu back from Ghost Gate Pass.
But now, treating Mr. Liang’s gunshot wound, abundant Spiritual Energy and proficient skills made her no longer feel the panic and helplessness of those tis.
After cleaning the surrounding bloodstains with a warm towel, Huo Sining’s hand quickly wrapped Spiritual Energy around the bullet in Mr. Liang’s chest, almost without hesitation, expelling the bullet swiftly from his body.
With a “pop,” the bullet was ejected from his chest, clattering to the ground.
Huo Sining’s flow of Spiritual Energy didn’t stop, continuously channeling it into Mr. Liang’s body, repairing the damaged ridians and tissues in his chest.
The bullet had entered the left chest, had it deviated just half an inch more, it would have hit the heart. Such a severe wound, if treated in a regular hospital… but Huo Sining, using Spiritual Energy, quickly healed the wound.
Mr. Liang had originally thought Huo Sining would simply clean his wound but watched as the bullet bounced out from his chest, feeling a wave of comfort as the Spiritual Energy coursed through him. Soon, the one-inch-deep gunshot wound healed visibly.
Mr. Liang couldn’t help but widen his eyes, looking at Huo Sining with a face full of astonishnt.
After finishing this, Huo Sining retrieved a brown pill from the storage ring, unknown as to what it was, and placed it in front of Mr. Liang’s mouth: “Take this.”
Mr. Liang was filled with astonishnt, his mind racing, unsure of what to say. Seeing Huo Sining give him a pill, he opened his mouth almost instinctively to take it, swallowing it obediently without even chewing.
Seeing Mr. Liang’s action, Huo Sining was both amused and exasperated. The pill was at least half the size of a cherry. She had planned to fetch a bottle of water to help him swallow it, but this man simply swallowed without even asking.
“You just swallowed it like that, aren’t you afraid I might have given you poison and you didn’t even ask before swallowing?!”
Huo Sining withdrew her hand reaching for mineral water, rolled her eyes at Mr. Liang, but the faint smile in her eyes betrayed her.
Even though it was their first direct contact, the deep familial bond was undeniable. Even without having lived together, Mr. Liang’s trust in Huo Sining and her concern for him were genuine.
This was her own kin, sharing the sa bloodline. Huo Sining could almost feel the wondrous sensation of having the sa blood flowing with such a similar aura.
Though reborn, Huo Sining always comforted and even suggested to herself that she would live for herself in this life, without needing family.
But when it really happened, having soone who trusts her so unconditionally and without principle, Huo Sining felt that the happiness and warmth erging from deep down were irreplaceable.
This was her father, missing for so many years and suddenly found again, this feeling of gaining what was lost was actually quite nice.
With a smile tugging at her lips, Huo Sining looked at Mr. Liang, finally explaining, “It’s for nourishing blood and energy, a Secret Formula Pill, a dicine concocted by a friend. Its effects are countless levels better than the capsule pills sold outside. You’ve lost too much blood, you need to replenish.”
Mr. Liang nodded, attempting to sit up from the bed. As he did, he was surprised to find that the gun wound he had been enduring pain from had truly stopped hurting after watching it heal before his eyes!
Astounded and delighted, Mr. Liang quickly raised his head to look at his daughter, just as he was about to ask what was going on, he saw Huo Sining standing with her arms crossed at the bedside, watching him with a sowhat amused expression:
“Alright, your wound is fine now, so shouldn’t we talk about sothing else next?”
