Chapter 837: Chapter 60: The Drug is Still Rather Potent Chapter 837: Chapter 60: The Drug is Still Rather Potent Yan Yu and others hurried over after hearing the news. Yun Jin used his Divine Sense to examine Li Minghu and confird that her spirit was excessively depleted, which caused an imbalance of the Five Elents within her body again, with the heart fire attacking the lungs.
The Annan Army had been studying Li Minghu’s health issues for a long ti. There were three situations that could trigger her illness: one was using too much True Yuan, another was excessive consumption of the spirit, and the third was the enhancent of Mana and Cultivation.
The first two weren’t worth ntioning; as the body or spirit beca weak, it was impossible to stabilize the True Yuan further.
The enhancent of Mana and Cultivation would promote the growth of True Yuan in the body, but among the Five Elents, the lungs developed more slowly than the other four organs, thus leading to even greater imbalance. This, in turn, made the lungs weaker.
When Lin Ning heard Yun Jin say this, she imdiately started to bla herself. If it weren’t for practicing martial skills with Minghu, she wouldn’t have overexerted her spirit…
On his side, Yan Yu picked up Li Minghu and carried her to a room on the second floor, then cautioned the girls not to co near.
I’m going to treat Minghu now!
Li Minghu had co this ti under the pretense of treating a chronic illness, so everyone didn’t think too much about it and descended downstairs.
Yan Yu locked the door from the inside, fetched Elixir dicine and water, and fed Li Minghu one pill.
The Elixir dicine, developed by Joyful Zen for the purpose of extending life through the alchemy furnace, had the effects of Strengthening the Foundation and Nourishing the Origin, nurturing the body. If one could say that Li Minghu’s Cultivation was adding to her condition, then this Elixir dicine was currently the sole thod of subtraction. Compared to the side effects, it seed trivial.
Li Minghu was well aware that there would be side effects from the Elixir dicine, so she rely tried to endure it and engaged in idle conversation with Yan Yu, attempting to ignore the heat deep in her body:
“Please tell Lin Ning for ,” she said, “she seed like she was about to cry just now… In fact, I don’t bla her.”
“That’s right,” Yan Yu said, “bla yourself for not taking good care of your body and having the audacity to expect others to take responsibility for you.”
“It was you who told to practice with Lin Ning,” Li Minghu blinked and gently smiled, “Oh, is it my fault?”
“A normal person, even if they agreed to help, wouldn’t go as far as to risk their life,” Yan Yu sarcastically said. Suddenly realizing sothing, he asked, “Wait, you’re not doing this to make fulfill the promise, are you?”
The two had once made a pact: if Li Minghu felt her life nearing its end, Yan Yu would agree to be her boyfriend for a day. The original intent of the pact was for Li Minghu to notify Yan Yu in ti to save her before she decided to sacrifice herself. Now, it seed to have unexpected consequences.
“Of course not,” Li Minghu said after a mont of silence, “Yan Yu, I actually… don’t easily covet things I don’t deserve.”
“When I was young, I was sickly and frail, transferring from one hospital to another to no avail, even experts predicted I wouldn’t live past twenty. Relatives and friends all urged my parents to have another child, so Ah Jiang was born.” Her eyelids drooped as she spoke softly, “I was really happy about my brother’s birth, because if I was destined not to reach adulthood, at least my brother could make up for my absence and take care of our parents in their old age.”
“For this reason, from a young age, I got used to sharing everything with Ah Jiang, whether it was food or toys, I always left a share for my brother. Since I could die at any mont, I didn’t need to take up too many resources from this world.”
After a pause, Li Minghu suddenly lifted her head, her gaze eting Yan Yu’s. There was no trace of sorrow in her eyes, just a calm and gentle composure:
“So, when you offered to let experience the feeling of love when my life reached its end, I didn’t hesitate and agreed right away. A thought occurred to then: this might be the only precious thing I could ever have all to myself. So unless that day really cos, I won’t easily ask you to fulfill the promise.”
“After all,” she showed a gentle smile again, “rock candy should be eaten before taking dicine.”
Yan Yu was silent for a long while, then suddenly cursed himself inwardly.
Since the other girls were always vying for attention, he subconsciously thought of it in terms of rivalry, not expecting that Li Minghu had no intention of competing at all. She even felt she didn’t deserve his love since she believed her life was short!
With that thought, Yan Yu felt a great deal of empathy and sat down beside Li Minghu, smiling as he said:
“Don’t make that pitiful face, or Li Zhaojiang will think I’m bullying you.”
“He won’t,” Li Minghu smiled.
“I think you should focus more on the positive,” Yan Yu continued to encourage her, “your illness isn’t incurable, you have plenty of ti to live in the future. There’s no need for that low self-esteem. Just tell what you want, and I will try my best to fulfill it.”
“Really?” Li Minghu asked with a covered smile, “Anything I want?”
“Anything,” Yan Yu nodded.
The next second, she suddenly embraced his neck.
Yan Yu instinctively wanted to push her away, but considering the Valkyrie’s frail body shouldn’t be jostled, he let her pull him down onto the bed, which was followed by a fierce storm of kisses and affectionate whispers.
The dicine is indeed a bit potent.
Li Minghu, already struggling to hold on, heard Yan Yu say, “anything I want,” which completely unlocked her restrained sanity, turning her utterly delirious.
Yan Yu had anticipated she couldn’t always rely on willpower to hold out, so he skillfully began to channel True Yuan into her body, dissolving the dicinal power in various places.
