Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Chapter 187 Saving Jiang Nannan's Mother
"Sister Nan Nan, can you tell me the specifics of the situation?" Ye Chen wasn't in the mood to enjoy himself; he was anxious to ask about Jiang Nan Nan's mother.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan felt ashamed and quickly put away her strange thoughts, then recounted the general contents of the letter to Ye Chen.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen understood the general situation.

Jiang Nannan and her mother were born into an ordinary rural family. Jiang Nannan lost her father at a young age and grew up with her mother.

He awakened his martial soul at the age of six. Because his innate soul power reached level 7, he was admitted to the city's primary soul master academy with a tuition waiver and was given proper training.

However, Jiang Nannan still worked part-time to avoid troubling her mother.

Jiang Nannan lived up to expectations and eventually entered Shrek Academy at the age of 12.

After entering the college, Jiang Nannan sent money to her mother to improve her life and moved to the city.

Her mother, on the other hand, found a job.

Jiang Nannan had no idea that her mother worked so hard so as not to put too much pressure on her.

Although her mother's martial soul was a rabbit, she had not awakened soul power and was just an ordinary person without the physique of a soul master. In the end, she fell ill due to overwork.

“The doctor came to see her and said that my mother… might not make it past a year…” Jiang Nannan sobbed again as she spoke.

"Sister Nan, don't be so pessimistic. That doctor is just an ordinary doctor from the countryside. My medical skills are probably better than his. If all else fails, you can try to find a healing-type Soul Master in the academy. Your aunt will definitely be fine."

Ye Chen hugged Jiang Nannan and quickly comforted her.

"Hmm... I hope so too... In this world, my mother is my only family..." Jiang Nannan's sobs subsided considerably, as if she had truly been comforted by Ye Chen, or perhaps she trusted him.

Of course, Ye Chen's words were not unfounded.

Although his medical skills weren't that advanced, he was still quite knowledgeable and was able to diagnose Jiang Nannan's mother's illness from just a few words.

According to what I learned in my previous life, it was due to overwork that led to organ failure.

This is not an external injury, but rather equivalent to the organ prematurely aging, and the aging rate is getting faster and faster until it is completely depleted, at which point Jiang Nannan's mother's life will come to an end.

Even the world's top healing-type Soul Masters can only alleviate the symptoms, not cure the disease.

Of course, if Jiang Nannan's mother were a Soul Master, this situation would not have occurred. Even if she was overworked, she could recover quickly as long as she rested well.

Although Jiang Nannan's mother possessed a rabbit-themed martial soul, she had not awakened innate soul power and was merely an ordinary person. Once her organs began to malfunction, the condition would continue to deteriorate irreversibly.

Unless one can take some top-tier miracle drugs.

For example—the Xuanming Pill of the Xuanming Sect!

Of course, besides the Xuanming Pill, immortal herbs can also be used.

Of course, Ye Chen doesn't need the immortal herb. He only needs to give Jiang Nannan's mother the "Seed of Life" and then let her recuperate for a while.

His Seed of Life can not only heal external injuries, but also release vitality and repair Jiang Nannan's mother's withered organs.

In some respects, Ye Chen's "Seed of Life" is far more effective than the Xuanming Pill, as long as Ye Chen is willing to sacrifice his lifespan.

Of course, Ye Chen has plenty of lifespan now, so he won't miss a few more years.

Of course, all of this is just Ye Chen's speculation. The truth will only be known after he meets Jiang Nannan's mother.

……

Soon, following Jiang Nannan's guidance, Ye Chen arrived at a small town called "Xishi Town" in the Heavenly Soul Empire.

The town is small, peaceful yet somewhat dilapidated.

Ye Chen followed Jiang Nannan to a small courtyard facing the street. The courtyard was relatively tidy compared to the surrounding neighbors, but the walls were low, indicating that it was not a wealthy family's home.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, it was very quiet inside, with only the dim candlelight shining from the main house and a faint scent of herbs in the air.

"mom?"

Jiang Nannan called out in a trembling voice and pushed open the door to the main house.

Inside the room, a middle-aged woman with slightly gray hair and a slender figure was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed). Her face was sallow, and her breathing seemed weak and labored.

The other party was Jiang Nannan's mother, Ye Yunxi.

Ye Yunxi is only 32 years old this year, but due to overwork, she looks like a woman in her forties.

Clearly, the disease has progressed to a critical stage, and if treatment is not initiated promptly, the patient may indeed be destined to sleep forever.

Hearing the commotion outside, Ye Yunxi opened her eyes with difficulty, her slightly dim gaze lighting up the moment she saw Jiang Nannan.

“Nannan… why are you back…”

Jiang Nannan's mother managed a weak smile; her voice was hoarse and feeble.

"mom!"

Jiang Nannan's tears flowed again as she rushed to the bedside and tightly grasped her mother's withered hand.

At this moment, Ye Yunxi's gaze unconsciously fell on Ye Chen behind Jiang Nannan, casting a questioning look at him.

"Mom, this is Ye Chen, my...my classmate, also a doctor. He heard you were sick, so he came back with me to see you," Jiang Nannan quickly introduced.

"Hello, Auntie, my name is Ye Chen. Let me take a look at your condition first." Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Ye Chen quickly sat down on the edge of the bed, gently grasped Ye Yunxi's withered wrist, and began to take her pulse.

"Good child... thank you for your trouble..." Ye Yunxi's voice was weak, and her face showed a trace of gratitude and relief, but more than that, she was exhausted, and at the same time, she felt a deep sense of guilt.

After all, it was because she was too useless and delayed Jiang Nannan's cultivation.

Last month, she was actually able to support herself and felt she could manage. She never expected her health to deteriorate so quickly...

Ye Chen began to take Ye Yunxi's pulse, his brows furrowing slightly.

Clearly, Ye Chen had a general idea from the pulse diagnosis, which was roughly what he had guessed.

Ye Yunxi didn't take good care of her body, which is why she looks like this now.

Without timely treatment, let alone a year, it would be difficult to survive even a month.

Most of the other person's organs were practically dead, a situation rarely seen even in her previous life. She had no idea how Ye Yunxi had managed to torture herself like this… she was going to extremes…

"Nannan, you're finally back."

Just then, a voice came from outside.

Jiang Nannan and Ye Chen turned around and saw a man and a woman coming in from outside.

The woman looked to be in her forties, and her gaze toward Jiang Nannan was full of anxiety.

The man was an elderly man with a goatee, who looked to be in his fifties or sixties, but was very energetic. He was carrying a medicine box and was clearly a doctor.
