Chapter 36 — I won't tell anyone
".?"
Meeting Jiang Nannan's gaze, Huo Yuhao felt his brain shrink slightly in panic.
No… wait, girl, you're really playing big this time.
"I… I'm a little scared."
Her voice trembled slightly from the tension, and Jiang Nannan looked at Huo Yuhao earnestly as she spoke.
"You… you should do it."
Then, as if to reassure him, she added softly, "I won't tell anyone."
Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded.
Not tell anyone? Are you trying to make me an accomplice here?
Before he could even respond, Jiang Nannan rose from the side of the bed, making space for him.
"…."
Well, I've already looked; no reason not to proceed.
After a brief, albeit not too intense, mental struggle, Huo Yuhao stood from his chair and moved to the bedside. Instinctively, before taking action, he looked toward Jiang Nannan and whispered.
"Try not to make too much noise."
Jiang Nannan immediately nodded, even suppressing her breathing slightly.
Huo Yuhao's gaze shifted to the woman on the bed. Whether it was due to her illness or simply the lack of sunlight in the room, her skin was an alluring shade of pale, which made the slight flush of red even more striking…
…No more delay. If he lingered here, his thoughts would inevitably drift. The matter at hand was critical.
He drew a deep breath, eyes sharpening with calm focus, and slowly raised his hand, placing it closest to the heart.
The soft, tender sensation met his palm. The pale skin spilling through his fingers sent a subtle thrill to Huo Yuhao's nerves, but now was clearly not the time to linger on such thoughts. Under his guidance, spirit power flowed from his palm into the contact point.
The strange scene made Jiang Nannan blush, a peculiar, almost forbidden thrill stirring in her chest, as though a door to a new world had been opened. The feeling spread like poison, quick and insidious…
Yet gradually, her anxiety took precedence, suppressing the strange excitement.
Through Huo Yuhao's shared Spirit Detection, she could see the spirit energy flowing steadily into her mother's heart. Her own heartbeat quickened, and she barely dared to breathe, fearing any interference.
Minutes passed, each moment tense, yet the process proceeded smoothly. Huo Yuhao had faced many extreme situations before, but perhaps due to the mother's identity as a friend's parent, or perhaps due to the intensity of the moment itself, this felt far more stimulating than any experience from his previous life.
Under these painstaking conditions, all hidden issues with the heart were resolved one by one under his spirit power.
Finally.
Thump—
The heartbeat resonated strongly in the chest, blood surging through the veins at an unprecedented pace. Watching her mother's skin regain its color, Jiang Nannan felt a surge of joy.
Huo Yuhao's expression softened slightly as well, followed immediately by a wave of indescribable fatigue. After practicing his Destined Death technique that afternoon, his spiritual power had nearly been drained completely. Just as he recovered some, he had expended it all again—continuous strain even he could feel testing his limits.
After retracting his spirit skill and Martial Spirit, a peculiar look appeared on Huo Yuhao's face. Perhaps because the hand closest to the heart was the first to feel the restored blood flow, he could distinctly sense something under his palm.
"…Done."
Huo Yuhao cleared his throat lightly, gathering his will to withdraw his hand, smoothing the blanket, and looking at Jiang Nannan.
"Auntie should be fine now. She'll wake up soon. Afterward, just let her rest, supplementing with medicines to nourish her heart and lungs and promote circulation. For meals, stick to light foods like porridge for the first few days. Oh, and…"
He retrieved a block of meat from his storage space, frozen solid, roughly the size of a palm, and handed it to Jiang Nannan, quietly explaining.
"When cooking porridge, you can chop this meat into small bits and add a little, but don't use too much at once. Feed her this for five days, three meals a day. I'll come back to check after five days."
This was the flesh of a hundred-thousand-year Blood-Corrosion Dragon Lizard. Even this palm-sized piece contained energy beyond the capacity of an ordinary person. Grinding it into bits for porridge was safest.
Jiang Nannan instinctively reached for it. The moment she touched it, she realized its extraordinary nature—through the thick ice, the energy within could still be felt, a testament to its exceptional quality.
She then produced the bag of Gold Coins and handed it to Huo Yuhao.
"Thank you… Can you tell me where you live? I'll compensate you for the rest."
"No need. This is more than enough."
Huo Yuhao intended to refuse, but seeing Jiang Nannan's determined gaze, he reluctantly accepted the coins. He took half and returned the rest.
"After all, it wasn't much effort on my part."
Just as Jiang Nannan was about to speak, a faint murmur made her turn her head. The woman on the bed twitched her eyelids a few times and slowly opened her eyes.
"Mom, you're awake?"
"Nannan… why are you here?"
Seeing Jiang Nannan, the woman's eyes brightened. She asked with concern, "Are you on holiday?"
"Yes, I came during the break. Mom, how are you feeling now?"
"Huh?"
The woman instinctively checked her body. After a brief moment of disbelief, joy spread across her face.
"I… feel much better. My head isn't dizzy anymore. Did some doctor figure out a cure for my illness?"
Jiang Nannan turned instinctively but found Huo Yuhao had already vanished.
A flash of frustration crossed her eyes, but knowing he would return in five days eased her mood slightly.
"It's like this: the doctors at the medical hall brought in a very skilled person today, and your illness has been cured. Now you just need some rest."
The woman nodded slightly, then looked at her exposed upper body, blushing. She hesitated, asking softly:
"Is the person who saved me still here?"
"He was in a hurry. After curing you, He left, but He'll return in a few days to check on you."
"Ah… a lifesaving favor like this. I'll need to properly thank them next time."
Jiang Nannan pressed her lips together, smiling to comfort her mother. "Don't worry, Mom. I'll thank them. What matters most now is your recovery. You'll be well soon."
"Ah… you've worked hard, child."
The woman paused, then stammered, "Nannan… could you hand me the clothes beside the bed and then step out for a walk?"
Seeing her mother in good spirits, Jiang Nannan felt much lighter.
"Mom, do you need to hide from your own daughter while getting dressed?"
Her mother's blush deepened, as though she were about to melt.
"Enough, go on, quick."
Though slightly surprised, Jiang Nannan had seen everything Huo Yuhao had done and knew her mother's illness was truly cured. She handed over the clothes and left the room, heading toward the cafeteria.
It was mealtime, and she intended to borrow the cafeteria to make some meat porridge. Along the way, she murmured to herself, frowning slightly:
"Huo Yuhao… why does that name feel so familiar?"
Meanwhile, in the room, her mother pulled back the blanket, glancing at her… rather sizeable chest with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance.
"Why won't this go down…"
