I am weak and friendly

Chapter 347 Parental Love

Tang Yiping stood at the window and looked outside.

In his vision, a swirling mist pointed into the distance.

That was the guidance of the carrion spirit; Tongtong's stolen intelligence lay at the end of the mist.

Tang Yiping was very familiar with that direction; it was the location of the Qihang Building.

However, it doesn't point to any floor of the Qihang Building, but rather to the sky at the top of the Qihang Building.

That's a height that even the world's starting point building doesn't have.

Tang Yiping had a feeling that this place must be "Young Master Tang's" office.

Tang Yiping stared in that direction for a while, then realized that he was actually laughing.

Finally.

What was supposed to come finally came.

Then, Tang Yiping looked down at the hospital entrance.

He saw Lux stretching out her limbs, standing on one side of the hospital, in a strange yoga pose, motionless.

A silent void formed around her; others intentionally or unintentionally avoided her, and no one noticed Lux's presence.

This made Tang Yiping subconsciously recall the effect of the [Original Silence Dust Mother Tree], and the two effects were exactly the same.

In fact, when Tang Yiping saw the [Dust Mother Tree of Primordial Silence], he subconsciously thought of Lux.

Perhaps... this is the effect of [Rooting], and the [Mother Tree of Primordial Dust] also has the skill [Rooting]?
That sounds reasonable, after all, the [Original Dust Mother Tree] is a tree.

Or perhaps Lux's [Root] has evolved into some other skill possessed by the [Mother Tree of the Dust of Silence]?
After all, literally speaking, "to take root" is unlikely to have such an effect.

So, what is this skill?

Or perhaps this is a common skill for "tree" species?
So, what kind of being is Lux, the "Tree of Wisdom" who enjoys capturing, killing, devouring, and healing? Is she herself as powerful as the "Mother Tree of Dust"? If the "Tree of Wisdom" were truly weakened, what kind of "weakling" would she be?
And Lux, how exactly did she manage to do something like that?

Is it her [Great Healing Spell]?

Tang Yiping turned his head and looked at Tongtong again.

In Tang Yiping's eyes, the phrase "Tongtong's stolen intelligence" seemed to have faded slightly compared to when he first met Tongtong.

Some force is filling the void left by Tongtong's stolen intelligence.

Although this process is very slow, the replenished "intelligence" is probably only one percent of what was taken away.

But it also led to Tongtong's astonishing progress.

I really wonder what a smart child Tongtong would be if her intelligence hadn't been taken away from her.

Perhaps he's some kind of child prodigy you only see on TV, completely different from a weak college student like myself.

only……

Is all this worth it?
He glanced at Sister Gao lying weakly on the bed, and Tang Yiping felt that he had to talk to her.

He took a few steps back, away from the window, and saw that Tongtong was eating a small cake and not paying attention to them. He lowered his voice and asked Sister Gao, "Sister Gao, is there something you want to tell me?"

"What?" Sister Gao asked, bewildered.

"Do you know that excessive blood loss can be very dangerous?" Tang Yiping asked.

"Huh?" Sister Gao's eyes widened. She said weakly, "What...what are you talking about? I don't know what you're talking about."

Finally, her voice became barely audible, giving the impression that she had been caught doing something wrong.

“You should know that Lux is my friend,” Tang Yiping said.

Tang Yiping's relationship with Lux and Lola is no secret.

Sister Gao lowered her head and remained silent.

"Did Lux ​​heal Tongtong?" Tang Yiping asked. "The price was... you let Lux drain your blood?"

"Don't blame her! I begged her!" Sister Gao glanced out the window, then at Gao Ming and the other man playing with Tongtong beside her, and lowered her voice, saying, "Pingzi, I'm fine. If it can help Tongtong get better, I really don't care. It's just a little blood. You...you shouldn't tell Brother Zhang; he has to go to work." Wait, does that mean if I tell Brother Zhang, he'll have to sell his blood too?
You guys...

For a moment, Tang Yiping didn't know what to say.

What does it mean to say that parents' hearts are full of love and concern for their children?

To be fair, if someone told Master Tang that he could cure his SMA by having someone else suck his blood, Master Tang would probably roll up his sleeves immediately.

Meanwhile, Master Mu's wife would buy all sorts of iron and blood-boosting supplements, filling Master Tang to bursting, and then she would let Lux suck on them to her heart's content, to the point that she couldn't help but suck on them.

"You're already in the hospital, and you're still saying you're fine," Tang Yiping said helplessly. "Don't worry about Tongtong, I have a way to make him better."

Tang Yiping believed that Lux would know what she was doing.

But no matter how sensible she is, she is not human. She is a "tree of wisdom" that has lived for countless years. Her true form may be a creature as large as the "Mother Tree of Primordial Dust". How could she understand the fragility of humans?

Humans are creatures that will die if they go even slightly too far.

Moreover, even if it doesn't threaten his life in the short term, severe anemia could lead to a shortened lifespan and permanent damage, which Tang Yiping doesn't want to see.

Sister Gao is a good person, and besides him, she is the only person in the world who can directly defeat Fan Zhihong.

Tang Yiping didn't want her to suffer this kind of harm.

"Really...really?" Hearing Tang Yiping say this, Sister Gao was overjoyed.

"Well, wait for my good news first. Anyway, Lux is my friend. If my plan fails, you can go find her later."

"Oh well.

It was clear that Sister Gao was still a little reluctant.

In fact, she would be very satisfied even if Tongtong was only a little bit better than before, or if Tongtong recovered a day earlier.

She really didn't want to wait even a second longer. She desperately wanted Tongtong to get better soon. Seeing Tongtong trapped in that illness was like a knife to her heart every second.

Tang Yiping understood her thoughts.

If Tongtong's illness could be transferred to her, she might be willing to do so.

Because Master Tang would definitely do the same.

Tang Yiping planned to talk to Lux to see how her "Great Healing Spell" worked, what it required, and whether it could be paid for in other ways, since being "vampirized" was still too dangerous for humans.

That said, Tang Yiping had experienced the "Great Healing Technique" many times. In his opinion, these treatments were indeed "useful," but... not particularly effective. Why could Lux ​​treat diseases like [Acquired Brain Injury]? Even [Stolen Intelligence] could be offset and restored? What exactly is the mechanism behind this?
Tang Yiping recalled his experience with brainwaves, but he couldn't figure it out.

As he frowned in thought, the ward door was pushed open, and a nurse pushed in a cart, asking a gray-haired woman in the next bed, "How are you today? How was lunch? Did you take your medicine on time?"

The woman on the hospital bed gave a weak smile, answered the nurse a couple of times, and then drifted off to sleep.

The nurse, noticing something was wrong, turned and ran, shouting, "Doctor! Chief Physician! Chief Physician! The patient in bed 28 is not feeling well!"

Qiu Zhaodong arrived quickly, and after a round of emergency treatment, the woman's condition finally stabilized.

Qiu Zhaodong wasn't in the mood to talk to Tang Yiping either. He frowned, muttered something, and turned to leave.

"Mom, what's wrong? Are you okay?!"

A few minutes later, one by one, boys who looked to be around ten years old were pushed in by a middle-aged man. The boys were emaciated, their hair had completely fallen out, and they grabbed the woman's hand and cried out desperately.

"Mom's alright, I'm sorry... Mom shouldn't have fallen ill at this time..." the woman on the hospital bed whispered. She looked at the man pushing the wheelchair and said softly, "I'm sorry, I'm probably just too tired..."

The man also looked haggard, with dark circles under his eyes and a string of blisters on the corner of his mouth. Clearly, he was on the verge of collapse.

But he still held his wife's hand and said to her, "The doctor said Chenchen's condition is better than expected, and there might still be hope. We've held on until now, so don't collapse at this time..."

“I know I won’t give up,” the woman said, holding her husband’s and son’s hands. Her voice was firm, but her face grew paler. “I will definitely watch Chenchen get better.”

As she spoke, she looked at Tongtong beside her, her eyes filled with envy.

At that moment, Tang Yiping felt a mix of emotions.
