At dawn, a ray of morning glow pierced through the sky from east to west, and in the Hummer at the foot of Spirit Mountain, Su Liuli curled up in the back seat, furrowing her brows tightly, her pretty face revealing deep concern.
It seemed… even in her sleep, she was still worried about Su Yuxin's illness.
And that was indeed the case.
Yesterday, after arriving at the base of Spirit Mountain, they had tried to climb the mountain to find the residence of Chu Xuanji, but they nearly got lost within Spirit Mountain.
"Xin, you mustn't leave Liu Li…"
Suddenly, Su Liuli awoke from her dream, sitting up abruptly with reddened eyes, her expression one of extreme sadness.
"Huff… Huff…"
Realizing that it had all been a dream, Su Liuli gasped for air, patting her chest, trying to calm herself down.
Meanwhile, Uncle Fu, who had barely slept that night, hurried to the side of the Hummer, knocking on the window. When Su Liuli rolled down the window, he asked with concern, "Second Miss, are you alright?"
"I'm… I'm fine."
Su Liuli moved the coat off her body, opened the car door, first shook her head, and then asked, "What about Xin? Is she alright?"
"The eldest miss has not woken up yet."
Uncle Fu let out a soft sigh; he was well aware that, like him, Su Yuxin had barely slept last night and had only fallen asleep when the sky began to dawn.
"Then, Uncle Fu, you stay here and take care of Xin; I will go up the mountain with Brother Hu and continue searching for Divine Doctor Chu's residence." Hearing that Su Yuxin was sleeping, Su Liuli breathed a sigh of relief and suggested.
"Second Miss, you don't have a long-sleeved shirt and trousers with you, so don't go up the mountain. I have already sent Hu to go," Uncle Fu said.
While speaking, Uncle Fu clearly saw the bloodstains on Su Liuli's legs and arms, remnants of scratches from thorny plants on the mountain the day before.
This wasn't because Su Liuli lacked climbing or wilderness survival experience—according to the arrangements of the Su Family patriarch, Uncle Fu and the Su Family's bodyguard surnamed Hu accompanied Su Yuxin to seek Chu Xuanji. As for… Su Liuli, she had driven after them without permission from the Su Family patriarch.
She was worried about Su Yuxin's safety and didn't want to wait foolishly for results; she wanted to do something. Only in this way could she feel slightly better.
"Uncle Fu, I still want to go up the mountain, two people will surely be faster than one," Su Liuli insisted with determination on her face.
"Second Miss, you can't go up the mountain alone—not to mention that you could easily get lost, but there are wild animals on the mountain. What if you encounter one?" Uncle Fu shook his head repeatedly.
"Liu… Liu Li, don't go up the mountain."
As soon as Uncle Fu finished speaking, Su Yuxin's voice chimed in. She had just woken up and stepped out of the car.
Despite wearing a black coat and even putting on a mink coat, because of the increasing severity of yin energy in her body, she was still shivering with cold, making her voice tremble.
"Eldest Miss, why did you come out?"
"Yes, sister, please get back in the car."
Seeing Su Yuxin get out of the car, Uncle Fu and Su Liuli both walked toward her, their expressions filled with worry.
"It's okay."
Su Yuxin gently shook her head, yet her gaze couldn't help but drift toward Spirit Mountain looming ahead, the glimmer of hope that was once in the depths of her eyes had now vanished without a trace.
She knew that leaving aside whether Chu Xuanji would see them, finding Chu Xuanji's residence on the vast expanse of Spirit Mountain was an extremely difficult task.
"Sister, don't worry, we will definitely find Divine Doctor Chu!" Sensing Su Yuxin's near despair, Su Liuli spoke with reddened eyes, softly offering comfort.
"Yes, Eldest Miss, as long as we find Divine Doctor Chu, your illness can be cured," Uncle Fu added.
Although he also knew that finding Chu Xuanji was a slim chance and the likelihood that Chu Xuanji would treat Su Yuxin was even slimmer, he still said the untruth.
As the words of comfort reached her ears, Su Yuxin's delicate body trembled slightly, and her pale face rare showed a few traces of sorrow.
That sorrow was because she wanted to live.
For herself, and for her mother and brother.
Ever since her father passed away in a car accident a few years ago, her status in the Su Family, along with her mother's and her brother's, fell drastically; they faced humiliations until she graduated two years prior and began managing a small part of the Su Family's business according to the patriarch's arrangements, and made some achievements.
But… because of this, she had completely offended her uncle's family. She was keenly aware that if she died, her mother, who came from a humble background, and her naive brother, would face an uncertain future.
"Hmm… Someone's coming."
Just as Su Yuxin showed a sorrowful expression for the first time due to the hopelessness of treatment, Uncle Fu suddenly noticed a red car driving toward Spirit Mountain.
Upon hearing this, both Su Yuxin and Su Liuli turned to look.
"Is the old master being harassed by someone again?"
In the red car, a woman dressed in sportswear muttered to herself, yet she was certain that the three people ahead would come back empty-handed.
The reason for her certainty was that she, like Ye Fan, had been raised by Chu Xuanji himself.
Unlike Ye Fan, she had left Chu Xuanji when Ye Fan was very young, only returning occasionally to visit Chu Xuanji and Ye Fan.
"It turns out to be the Su family girl."
Because Su Yuxin turned around, the woman recognized her. She wasn't surprised, it seemed... she knew why Su Yuxin had come here.
"Is this person here to seek medical help too?"
As the red Land Rover approached, Su Liuli couldn't help but quietly ask herself. Before she could figure it out, the car stopped not far ahead of them, and a woman got out.
To be precise, a beautiful woman.
With her elegant hair flowing down like a black waterfall to her waist, a classic oval face, and delicate features, she radiated an exceptionally gorgeous aura, especially her peach blossom eyes, bright as stars, shimmering like crystal clear water.
Compared to her face, her figure was no less impressive; her Holy Maiden Summit chest raised high, stretching the loose sportswear, contrasted with her flat belly, creating a striking difference, and her long, straight legs, which would be absolutely irresistible in high heels and a short skirt.
What amazed Su Liuli even more was the woman's demeanor.
At first glance, her peach blossom eyes lent her an enchanting look, but upon closer inspection...one would realize that it was just the surface. Beyond the enchantment lay an unmistakable air of dominance and nobility.
She was a woman where beauty, figure, and class coexisted!
"Lady Chu?"
Seeing the woman getting out of the car, Su Yuxin's pupils slightly widened, a flicker of surprise crossing her pale face as she let out an exclamation.
Over the past two years, she had taken over the Su family's businesses, which thrived under her leadership. She earned titles like the Cold-faced President and Female Hero of Jiangnan, occasionally attending some important banquets. She had seen Lady Chu twice at such events, but they weren't close. All she knew was that Lady Chu was from Yanjing, referred to as the 'Demon Queen' by some local young masters, with a very mysterious identity.
"Hello, Lady Su."
The woman, known to the world as Chu Ji but whose real name was Chu Ji, nodded slightly in response before asking, "You're here to find Miracle Doctor Chu, aren't you?"
"Yes, how did you know?" Su Yuxin first nodded and then asked with a hint of confusion and respect in her tone.
"I went to Hanghu a couple of days ago, and I heard someone say you've been stricken with a strange illness, seeking doctors everywhere."
Chu Ji fabricated the lie offhand; in truth, from the first time she saw Su Yuxin, she noticed that Su Yuxin had an Extreme Yin Body. She could now see that the yin energy inside Su Yuxin had reached a horrifying level—if not suppressed soon, it would cost her life.
"I see..." Su Yuxin came to a realization, then asked again, "Lady Chu, are you also here to seek medical advice?"
"Yes, I'm asking on behalf of a friend."
Chu Ji nodded lightly, continuing the deception. Although she had met Su Yuxin several times, their relationship was nowhere near enough for her to reveal her true identity.
In fact, very few people in this world were privy to her connection with Chu Xuanji!
"Miss, do you know where to find Miracle Doctor Chu?"
Su Liuli, initially overwhelmed by Chu Ji's presence, now sparkled with excitement upon hearing Chu Ji's words. With a mix of eagerness, she asked, then without waiting for Chu Ji to reply, she bit her lip with a determined look and said, "As long as I can meet Miracle Doctor Chu, even if I have to kneel and kowtow to him, I will plead for him to save sister Yuxin. If he refuses, I will kneel without rising until he agrees!"
Such a loyal and righteous girl.
Upon hearing this, Chu Ji was slightly taken aback but remained silent.
On one hand, she had no authority to take Su Yuxin and her companions up the mountain to meet Chu Xuanji. Moreover, she was well aware that in the entire world, besides Ye Fan, it would be difficult to find a second person capable of saving the Su family girl.
At least, as of now, she had not heard of a second person with an Extremely Yang Body!
