Chapter 1840: Chapter 159: Wang Shouzhe, Cowardly and Fearful of Death
A manifestation of Wang Lixian stood beside him, while on the other side was the visibly anxious ZhaoYang Wangfu, Yao Yuangang.
After a while, Wang Shouzhe finally let go of his hand, smiling as he saluted King Chaoyang, "Congratulations, Your Highness. The treatment this time has been effective, and nearly half of the residual poison in your body has been extracted. At this pace, within ten years, the malignant poison in your body could be completely eradicated."
After a round of treatment, he was quite fatigued, but his expression was full of relief.
Unbeknownst to them, the Chaoyang royal couple had been residing with the Wang family for almost three years, and the terrifying malignant poison in her body had shown significant improvement after multiple treatments.
However, as the saying goes, "Illness comes like an avalanche, but goes like unwinding silk," the lingering poison tends to be the most stubborn. Although this round of treatment was effective, to completely rid the body of the residual poison will still take a lot of time.
Fortunately, after conditioning, King Chaoyang’s physical condition had improved greatly, and the remaining malignant poison could basically be suppressed by himself, making it just a matter of time to clean it all out.
"My malignant poison being cured is thanks to you and Li Xian. If it weren’t for Li Xian’s Immortal Spirit Qi nourishing the foundation, I wouldn’t have recovered so quickly. I feel much lighter now." The process of extracting the malignant poison was not easy, and King Chaoyang was almost exhausted, yet his expression was inexplicably relaxed.
Before coming to the Wang family, she never thought she would see a day of recovery.
Wang Shouzhe smiled and said, "If it weren’t for the Spirit Wood Essence sent by Your Highness and True Monarch Xuanyin, Li Xian wouldn’t have broken through to Level Nine that quickly, and the treatment results wouldn’t be as good. In the end, it is you two sowing good causes and reaping good fruits."
The relationship between the malignant poison and King Chaoyang’s vitality was inverse; the better his physical condition, the more vigorous his life force, and the less trouble the malignant poison could cause.
If it weren’t for Li Xian advancing to Level Nine, the treatment results would have been at most half of what they are now.
"Enough~ You two stop being so polite already, repeating the same things every treatment. If you’re not tired of saying it, I’m tired of hearing it." Yao Yuangang, ZhaoYang Wangfu, interrupted the two with exasperation.
Since Wang Shouzhe started the treatment, he had been nervously watching from the side, and now finally relaxed, he hugged King Chaoyang concerned, "Chaoyang, how do you feel? Want to take a rest for a while?"
"Yes~ Granny Chaoyang Wang, you should take a rest for a while~" Wang Lixian’s manifestation also advised from the side, "The treatment process is very taxing. Your body is still weak, you’d better meditate immediately to consolidate and recover."
Just as they were talking.
Wang Shouzhe’s nose suddenly felt a bit itchy, and he couldn’t help but sneeze several times in a row, "Ah-choo! Ah-choo!"
He frowned deeply: "Who could be missing me so much? Just finished cursing me, and can’t wait for the second round?"
"Maybe Shouzhe has offended some True Immortal severely." King Chaoyang laughed, "You’ll have to be more careful in the future to avoid being targeted."
"No worries, no worries, I, Wang Shouzhe, always conduct myself openly and above-board, not afraid of being remembered." Wang Shouzhe said with a calm face.
"That’s for sure, Shouzhe, you are the most principled Family Head I have ever seen." King Chaoyang praised him endlessly, then remembered something else and asked, "Right, Shouzhe. I heard from Senior Emperor Xiu that you’re planning a trip to Mozhao Country this time to handle some affairs?"
As she spoke, her expression turned serious.
"I didn’t expect Senior Emperor Xiu to be unable to keep secrets." Wang Shouzhe laughed lightly, "Yes, I’m going out to take care of some matters, and I entrusted Senior Emperor Xiu to send a manifestation for protection."
"Even though Mozhao Country is just a vassal state of the Demonic Dynasty faction, it’s ultimately on the Demonic Dynasty’s turf, and not far from its main territory. Besides, Mozhao Country is quite strong, possessing an emperor, three kings, plus a Sacred Master, a total of five Transcendent Void Realm cultivators. Shouzhe, I think you should be more cautious." King Chaoyang said gravely.
"Rest assured, Your Highness, Shouzhe has prepared thoroughly." Wang Shouzhe saluted, "Thank you for Your Highness’s concern."
"How about this, my old injury has improved a lot recently, and for the short term, it’s not much trouble to have physical confrontations." King Chaoyang suggested, "Let Old Wei guard the house, and I’ll accompany you to ensure your safety."
"Your Highness..." Wang Shouzhe was about to decline, but King Chaoyang stopped him.
"Shouzhe, you are the core figure of the Wang family, and also the pillar of the Human race’s future in my eyes. This matter cannot be taken lightly. Moreover, you know my injuries well, they’re not a big deal anymore."
"Shouzhe, Chaoyang is right." Yao Yuangang also advised, "If our Human race wants to grow strong to resist the extraterrestrial demons, it takes more than just strong combat strength. In my view, your significance to the Human race is far more than both of us combined. Protecting you is appropriate."
"Well, then add another layer of protection." Wang Shouzhe stood up and bowed deeply to the two of them, solemnly saying, "This matter, I’ll trouble Your Highness and the True Monarch."
...
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another two or three months passed.
On this day, the weather was clear and sunny, with not a cloud in the sky.
Even on a clear day, the vast and boundless blue ocean could churn up waves as high as two zhang. With the wind driving them, the waves leaped into the sky, raising countless white splashes.
In the sky, there were giant seabirds with huge wingspans emitting high-pitched cries.
