1012: Chapter 626 1012: Chapter 626 Sir Zheng, along with his two brothers and the rest of their family, seemed to feel a dark satisfaction but no longer cared for the Old Madam!
What they cared about was Miss Zheng of the Zheng Family.
However, due to the difference between men and women, the men could only anxiously wait in the courtyard, while Miss Zheng’s mother, sisters, and aunts were all by her bedside!
Seeing Miss Zheng’s frail face, always unconscious and unreachable, they felt heartache but were helpless, simply because they were not physicians!
Many renowned physicians had visited before, all to no avail.
Now, they knew why those physicians were powerless – it turned out to be a human conspiracy, someone had summoned ghosts to harm others!
The Great Immortal eliminated those ghosts, and they were grateful, not knowing whether there were still ghosts in the room, but these were their worries when they came to visit the Miss!
Seeing the unconscious, frail woman on the bed, who was so lively and healthy just a while ago, only this appearance now brought pity to their expressions!
No matter how they fought on normal days, they were still relatives, certainly not the same as that old witch.
The Old Madam…
the old witch, was now cursed in their hearts, as she lay comatose, spitting blood, her complexion turning a deeper and deeper shade of gold and purple, like someone on the brink of death!
This is what befalls those who meddle with ghosts, who have done evil – the spite from the Fierce Ghosts and Wronged Ghosts before their deaths gnawed at her; maybe this was karma!
The maidservants previously restrained were now preparing rice soup for the young lady, and that was all they could feed her – medicine soup and rice soup – yet she’d still spit out a bit after ingesting a little.
They were truly at a loss!
Madam Zheng, seeing her daughter like this, tearfully wiped her eyes and decided to join her husband in the courtyard to kneel to the Immortal in the sky, pleading with the Immortal to save their daughter!
Miss Zheng’s courtyard was struck by lightning, leaving pits one after another, and the flowers and plants withered as if winter had suddenly arrived.
Madam Zheng came out, followed by the other female family members!
Sir Zheng and the family, having heard what Madam said, felt that the Immortal in the sky had shown kindness to their family.
If not for the coming of the Immortal, they might have soon been harmed as well!
The courtyard was no longer cold with snow and ice as before; now it held the heat of summer!
It was like coming out of a freezer; although it had just rained nearby, it could not withstand the midday sun.
The chill had dissipated, and they had long changed into lighter clothes.
“Immortal, please save my daughter!”
Sir Zheng and the family were all in the courtyard, continuously kneeling and kowtowing, fearing that the Immortal might just leave as they had arrived.
Eryao, standing high in the sky, hesitated at the sight of these mortals’ kneeling but ultimately descended.
The talk of delicious food was not a joke, and since he had arrived at Eternal Star, trying out the local delicacies seemed good, especially since he had already sensed an enticing aroma!
A good Dragon should follow through!
Eryao descended from the sky, not standing in the dirty and messy courtyard, and with a simple wave of his hand, he presented a Recovery Pill, invented by his master in that civilized world!
Before, he had been curious – what use was such a pill for beings like Dragons and those in Cultivation?
What master would produce such ordinary medicine?
He knew of a base that wanted to make these ordinary elixirs, after all, there were many mortals in the Cultivation World as well, and those mortals were common folk!
For mortals in the Cultivation World, life was lowly, but what the master did was of help to many common people!
It never occurred to him that the master would go to that famous world, a place that had once housed the master’s spirit and was also his future.
At the time, Eryao had been curious as he helped the master prepare the medicine.
When the master gave the formula to ordinary people, he had sneakily kept one bottle as a memento since he, as a Dragon, had a bit of a gossiping spirit!
Now at Eternal Star, faced with ordinary people, he floated the pill towards Mistress Zheng:
“Dissolve this pill in water and administer it, and there should be no problems!”
Receiving the Immortal’s given medicine, Mistress Zheng was overjoyed and accepted gratefully: “Thank you, Immortal.”
Eryao looked at the people kneeling again:
“Go ahead.”
“Yes, thank you, benefactor!” Determined to save her daughter, Mistress Zheng personally entered the room to feed her daughter the medicine, trusting the Immortal without questioning the quality of the drug!
If this Immortal truly wanted to harm them, they wouldn’t have been helped to deal with the ghosts.
Considering the ability to summon wind and rain they had just witnessed, such power was probably only matched by a State Preceptor in the Imperial Palace!
If he intended to harm them, they would have no means of resistance, so why would he give them a fake medicine?
The people of the Zheng Family were unaware that the State Preceptor of the Imperial Palace had vanished without a trace; there was not a single piece of news about it in their city!
Perhaps it was because they lacked virtue, or perhaps the Imperial City kept the news too tightly sealed!
“Immortal Master, the meal is ready, please!”
Snapping back to reality, Sir Zheng remembered it was past lunchtime.
The promise to entertain the Immortal had to be fulfilled by slowly eating and waiting.
Eryao, already hungry, accepted the invitation of Sir Zheng, the two other gentlemen, and these youths.
Following their steps out, he flew from the heights and arrived at the place they had mentioned for dining – it was a banquet hall near the large guest hall used to entertain guests!
The women followed Madam Zheng into Miss Zheng’s room!
Watching Madam Zheng feed Miss Zheng the medicine, they gazed on anxiously.
Madam Zheng called out her daughter’s nickname while waiting, the time was agonizing, but they believed in the Immortal Master, thinking that even Miraculous Elixirs wouldn’t work instantly.
Usual Physicians or Divine Healers also would take at least a few days or a month for their medicines to take effect!
