After saying the last sentence, Gu Liufeng's eyes filled with determination.
But his entire being emitted an extremely sorrowful and pained feeling.
Having to choose to personally kill one's own Mother or watch her in pain and undignified was an extremely hard choice for anyone.
Hexi nodded her head and didn't say much more. Instead, she leaned over and felt Gu Youlan's pulse.
As before, Gu Youlan was still struggling and howling, but the strength of her struggling was almost nothing to Hexi.
But, this time when she when she checked her pulse, it lasted for an hour.
Retracting the hand that was feeling her pulse, Hexi's face didn't have the slightest amount of gentleness. Then, she looked down at the open-eyed and open-mouthed Gu Liufeng.
By the side, Gu Liufeng even stopped breathing as he watched Hexi. Only until he saw her standing up, he softly asked, "What is your diagnosis Xi Yue..."
He deeply sucked in a breath and swallowed the words he originally wanted to say. He didn't want to hear a conclusion that he didn't want to hear.
"Xi Yue, the medicine that Murong family gave me has a problem, right?" Gu Liufeng was silent for half a day before he asked, "If... If I was able to get that pill, would it be more helpful to treating the illness?"
"As long as, as long as there's a thread of hope, I'll do anything! As long as you can save my Mother's life!"
Hexi used the nearby water to clean her hands before saying, "You can rest relieved. Although your Mother's illness is somewhat troublesome, I can still treat it."
"What?!" Gu Liufeng cried out in surprise, even his voice trembled a bit. "Xi Yue, you... What you said is true? You can cure my Mother? Truly cure my Mother?"
Hexi raised her eyebrow, the pleasant to listen to youth's voice was filled with assertiveness. "Have you forgotten what I've said? I can't save everyone, but as long as I, Xi Yue, say I can save them, even Yama can't take them away."
"But your Mother's body has already reached this stage of being a dried out lamp. It's very possible that she'll be unable to cultivate, and without the use of life-preserving medicines, she can only live up to the age of a normal person."
"It's enough!" Gu Liufeng pressed his strong emotions down and with a trembling voice, he said to Hexi, "Xi Yue, I don't even know what words of gratitude to say anymore. From now on, my life..."
"If you don't know how to say them, then don't say anything." Hexi waved her hand at him and interrupted him. Soon, two silver needles quickly appeared on her wrist.
The two silver needles slowly entered Gu Youlan's temple. Once the needles entered, Gu Youlan's struggling ceased.
Although her body was still trembling from the pain, it became somewhat calmer.
As Gu Liufeng watched the youth's act of inserting the needles, he didn't know why, but he suddenly remembered the scene of Xi Yue decocting medicine in Hundred Herb Mist with Nangong Yu handing Xi Yue medicine.
That high up King of Hell was willing to lower himself and show modesty, in front of Xi Yue.
At the time, Gu Liufeng accidentally saw the emotion in Nangong Yu's gaze when he looked at Xi Yue.
Xi Yue was attentively looking at the medicinal stove, he didn't pay Nangong Yu a glance. But at the same time, Nangong Yu's gaze never left Xi Yue's body.
Such a tender, pampering, and dedicated gaze fooled people into believing that this wasn't the unfeeling King of Hell. Rather it was an indulging husband.
Gu Liufeng sighed and quietly mumbled, "Perhaps Nangong Yu is the person most suited to you."
