Volume 1, Chapter 86: The Aura of Death on Wei Xiaoqing
The two immediately dragged Fu Lei back to the car, and Fu Lei glanced at them sideways. His Majesty smiled faintly and asked, "Xiao Qing likes you a lot, doesn't she? Is she... lovesick?"
Zhou Xuan squeezed Fu Ying's hand tightly and stared at her, saying, "Miss Yingying, are you jealous?"
"Pah!" Fu Ying shook off his hand, turned her head to the side, and said, "I'm not jealous. If she wants it, let her have it."
Zhou Xuan saw that although Fu Ying turned her head and said harsh words, there was a hint of a smile on her face and in the corner of her eye, so he knew that she was just teasing her.
Upon arriving at Wei Haihong's villa, Zhou Xuan and Fu Ying immediately saw the old man and Wei Haihong anxiously looking in their direction as soon as they got out of the car.
When Wei Haihong saw Zhou Xuan get out of the car, he quickly ran forward and pulled him away. Only then did Fu Ying realize that the matter was serious and not as she had joked.
The old man frowned deeply, and upon seeing Zhou Xuan, he quickly said, "Xiao Zhou, go in and check on Xiao and Qing. That girl was perfectly fine yesterday, but today she's suddenly like this. She didn't come downstairs for breakfast this morning; I had Aunt Wang go check on her and that's when I noticed!"
As Wei Haihong entered the room, he explained the situation: "Xiaoqing was unconscious after waking up this morning. We called Dr. Chen from the military hospital to examine her. He said it was poisoning, blood poisoning. For now, she's only receiving some imported antidote intravenously. They also drew blood and sent it back for testing. Because it was at the old man's request, the test results came back quickly. It's a poison unknown in modern medical history, and it can't be separated from the blood. So even if we send her to major hospitals, they can't treat her; all we can do is..."
At this point, Wei Haihong stared at Zhou Xuan and said solemnly, "They can only wait to die!"
In the living room, Xue Hua and Wei Xiaoyu were anxiously making a phone call. It was the first time Zhou Xuan had seen Wei Xiaoyu with such an anxious expression.
Fu Ying stared at Wei Xiaoyu and asked Zhou Xuan in a low voice, "Didn't you say Xiaoqing was very sick? She seems fine. She looks so good in her military uniform!"
Zhou Xuan knew immediately that Fu Ying had also misjudged the situation. She pulled Fu Ying upstairs and whispered, "She's not Xiao Qing. She's Xiao Qing's twin sister, Xiao Yu. She's a soldier."
Fu Ying found it very strange and kept looking at them from the stairs. These sisters looked so alike!
As Zhou Xuan reached the corner of the stairs, he faintly heard Wei Xiaoyu complaining, "Grandpa and Uncle are really something. Xiaoqing is so sick, and they won't let her go to the hospital. What are they doing calling that Zhou kid here? I think he's just a charlatan."
Zhou Xuan smiled faintly, ignoring her. He was long past the age of competing and vying for power. Besides, the old man and Wei Haihong treated him like family. Even for their sake, he wouldn't get upset over something so unnecessary.
In the room where Xiaoqing was sleeping, Zhou Xuan felt an extremely uncomfortable atmosphere right at the door!
That was the sensation of the icy energy from the pill in my left wrist!
This is an unusual phenomenon, something that has never happened since Zhou Xuan acquired the ice energy ability!
Zhou Xuan stood at the door, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then began to sense his icy energy.
Fu Ying, the old man, and Wei Haihong all stood beside him watching.
After the icy air circulated a few times, the uncomfortable feeling disappeared, but the icy air directly clashed with an atmosphere in the room.
Zhou Xuan opened his eyes and looked around. The aura that was resisting the icy air was coming from the bed in the room, and there was only the unconscious Wei Xiaoqing on the bed.
The two people beside the bed were extremely anxious. Zhou Xuan recognized them as Wei Haihong's elder brother, Wei Haifeng, and his wife. He had seen them before in the ward where the old man was hospitalized.
Because she looks extremely similar to Wei Xiaoqing and her sister, it's obvious that she is Wei Xiaoqing's mother.
A three-legged aluminum frame stood beside the bed, with an IV drip bottle hanging from it. A transparent plastic tube connected to a vein in Wei Xiaoshi's wrist. Wei Haihong was naturally familiar with Zhou Xuan. He had previously thought his third son, Wei Haihong, was absurd, but the fact that his grandfather's illness had been completely cured in such a short time astonished Wei Haifeng. He knew his grandfather's condition well; the hospital had given a final diagnosis that it was truly incurable. Even a miracle worker couldn't save his grandfather's life. But until now, wasn't his grandfather alive and well? And very healthy!
Wei Haifeng received another instruction from the old man. Ding had instructed him not to reveal anything about Zhou Xuan to the outside world. If anyone asked, he should say that the hospital had made a mistake in the diagnosis and that Zhou Xuan did not have cancer, but only a benign tumor.
Based on these circumstances, Wei Haifeng began to think that Zhou Xuan was somewhat strange and mysterious.
Zhou Xuan walked to the bedside, and the uncomfortable feeling that had been bothering him intensified again.
Look at Wei Xiaoqing on the bed, her eyes are closed, her face is pale, and there is no problem with her appearance.
Zhou Xuan tried his best to circulate his ice energy again, slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, and reached out his left hand to hold Wei Xiaoqing's hand.
Wei Xiaoqing's hands were soft, but somewhat cold. As soon as Zhou Xuan's icy energy entered her body, he felt that Wei Xiaoqing's life was leaving her!
Of course, this was just one of his feelings, including the unpleasant smell, but no one else in the room felt the same way.
Zhou Xuan's actions puzzled Wei Renzi. His movements resembled neither pulse taking nor diagnosis, and he had no instruments. How could he cure diseases?
Zhou Xuan naturally ignored them. And since no one could see the movement of the ice energy, it didn't matter.
After the icy aura enveloped Wei Xiaoqing's body, Zhou Xuan immediately sensed a molecule in her blood that he had never seen before. It was different from the cancer cells in the old man's body. Cancer cells are alive, but this thing was not. And the icy aura seemed to be extremely averse to this thing.
This substance was mixed and intertwined with Wei Xiaoqing's blood. Zhou Xuan felt that the medicine in the hanging medicine bottle, after entering the blood vessels through his wrist, could not dissolve or separate this substance. As soon as the icy air touched this strange substance in the blood, Zhou Xuan immediately felt it!
So this aura is the aura of death!
This kind of aura is only present when a person is about to die or after death.
It's so uncomfortable!
Zhou Xuan had never felt this way since he acquired his superpowers. Even before, at the bottom of the sinister and eerie Cold Water Cave at the bottom of the American sinkhole, in the hundreds of meters deep Cold Water River, he could use his superpowers freely without feeling any discomfort!
At the same time, Zhou Xuan also sensed that Wei Xiaoqing's life was slipping away little by little. Time did not allow him to hesitate any longer, so he immediately used all his strength to separate the strange substance in her blood and force it to a certain place.
Although this thing is not a living organism like cancer cells, it is much more troublesome and difficult to deal with than cancer cells, because Zhou Xuan realized that his special ability could not transform its molecules. In other words, this was the first time Zhou Xuan had encountered a substance that he could not transform and could not detect what it was.
The most significant characteristic of the Ice Qi Astrology given to Zhou Xuan from the beginning was its ability to detect the origin of unknown objects. Since acquiring his ability, Zhou Xuan has been constantly experimenting. He's basically certain that he can detect any known substance on Earth, except for the golden stone that granted him his ability, which he couldn't identify. He hasn't encountered anything else he can't detect, and now, the substance in Wei Xiaoqing's blood is the second substance he can't detect!
This substance is vastly different from the golden stone. The golden stone is the source of Zhou Xuan's power, so it's normal that it couldn't be detected as the mother substance. At least it wouldn't cause any aversion. This substance, however, is like having a plate of excrement suddenly served on the table while Zhou Xuan is eating—it fills him with disgust and extreme discomfort!
It was very strenuous. Zhou Xuan closed his eyes and used his ice energy to gradually drive the strange substance from Wei Xiaoqing's blood to a certain place. At this time, Zhou Xuan felt that it was even more strenuous than converting the monster in the Yinhe Dark Cave into molecules. The huge energy was actually starting to feel a little short of breath.
Zhou Xuan channeled the strange substance with all his might towards Wei Xiaoqing's right index finger. He was drenched in sweat and nearly fainted, but he knew that if he didn't hold on until he collapsed, all his efforts would be in vain, and Wei Xiaoqing might perish in an instant. He couldn't afford to slacken his efforts even slightly!
Everyone in the room held their breath. Not daring to even breathe loudly. Wei Xiaoqing's older sister, Wei Xiaoyu, had also arrived in the room earlier, but seeing Zhou Xuan holding Xiaoqing's hand with his eyes closed for so long, his face covered in sweat, she wasn't sure if he really had the ability to cure her or if he was just faking it!
Zhou Xuan mustered his last bit of icy energy and forced the strange, death-laden substance onto Wei Xiaoqing's fingertips. She opened her eyes and weakly uttered, "Needle."
Wei Haifeng and his wife were the most anxious. At this moment, they dared not speak carelessly for fear of disturbing Zhou Xuan. When they saw him suddenly open his eyes and say something, they didn't understand what he meant and quickly asked, "What?"
