Change the world with entertainment with Yokai Girl

"Nini, don't worry, go to school. Kui, I'll take a nap and I'll feel better soon!" Kui, lying on the bed with her face flushed, said with a smile.

"Okay, get some rest, you'll get better soon, and I'll play with you again then," Qin Jing said, patting Xiao Kui's head.

"If she doesn't get better, I'll take Xiao Kui to the hospital later. Xiao Jing, you can go to school without worry," Qin's mother instructed.

"Hmm." Qin Jing thought it was just a common fever and didn't think much of it before going to school.

He never imagined that Xiao Kui would fall ill like this and never recover...

Section 61.61 Hope for a Cure

Qin Kui, a third-grade elementary school student, is 8 years old. She has always been a lively, cheerful, and loving child. She is usually very polite and greets everyone she meets with a bright smile.

Despite her small stature, she possesses a broad mind and never holds grudges. She cares for her family, plays with other children, and never neglects anyone; she is an adorable little girl, like an angel.

Qin Jing simply couldn't imagine that Xiao Kui would be lying in a ward filled with the smell of disinfectant, with several tubes inserted into her body, fast asleep in bed.

The cause of the illness is still unclear. All that is known is that blood cells are constantly being replaced by an unknown pathogen, leading to weakened immunity, insufficient blood supply, and ultimately, organ failure.

The doctor said regretfully, "With the current level of medical technology, there is nothing that can be done. The patient has about three months left to live."

Qin's father remained silent, spending all his time watching over Xiao Kui. Qin's mother was also constantly in tears. The heartbroken grandparents came to visit several times, but the elderly couple's bodies couldn't withstand the stress, and in the end, they were both exhausted and sent home by relatives.

Qin Jing, who couldn't help, still went to school, even though she spent all day there in a daze, but she couldn't not go.

Xiao Kui is diligently undergoing treatment, and her parents are doing their best to find a solution. They have never considered giving up on Xiao Kui's treatment. They can't afford any more complications for her, and they can't let their family worry any more.

"Hey, Shizuka, are you alright? You look so lifeless." Chun Yuan walked over and asked with concern.

"Ah, Chun Yuan... do you know how to become like you, with a constitution that makes you invincible?" Qin Jing asked in a low voice.

"I can die too, okay! Don't say things that could be misunderstood!!" Chun Yuan complained, but seeing Qin Jing's expression, he scratched his head and said, "It's true that the Chun Yuan family has a stronger natural recovery ability than ordinary people, but other than that, there's nothing special about them. I can't help you, sorry."

"No, I asked a strange question, I'm sorry." Qin Jing shook her head.

As soon as school was over, Qin Jing would go straight home. He would go to the hospital with his mother to deliver meals to his father and Xiao Kui, who were being cared for at the hospital. Cooking at home allowed them to prepare a wider variety of dishes, which were more nutritious and also more economical. Although a treatment had not yet been found, Xiao Kui's medical and examination fees were increasing every day.

"Wait! Princess's brother!" A voice came from behind.

Looking back, I saw it was the boy in the baseball cap who practiced basketball all day long; he was now a regular player on the school team.

“Princess… Xiao Kui, everything will be alright, right? The girls who went to visit Xiao Kui cried and said that Xiao Kui might die. That’s a lie, right?” The boy clenched his fist and asked loudly.

"Hmm... everything will definitely be alright," Qin Jing replied, but his somber and depressed expression betrayed the harsh truth.

"How could this happen! If Xiao Kui dies, what was the point of all my previous efforts? If Xiao Kui dies... what's the point of my life..." The boy shed tears.

"Don't talk nonsense. You're just indulging yourself; it's meaningless." Qin Jing ignored the boy and turned to leave. He needed to get home quickly; his mother was home alone.

When he unlocked the door and entered the house, it was dark inside with the lights off.

Her mother was preparing food in the kitchen, but her hand, which was holding a knife to cut vegetables, remained motionless, while her back trembled slightly. Seeing this, Qin Jing always felt sad, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

That kind of feeble consolation is meaningless.

Only when Qin Jing put down her schoolbag did her mother realize what was happening.

"Ah, Xiaojing's back! Are you hungry? There are some snacks on the table." Mom quickly wiped her face and turned around to say with a smile.

"No need," Qin Jing shook her head.

'Why are you forcing a smile? Your eyes are clearly red and swollen, and you haven't even wiped away your tears.'

'Why are you crying? Will crying solve anything? I won't cry!'

"Okay, then sit down and read a book for a while. Dinner will be ready soon. Mom will cook the dishes, and then we'll go to the hospital to see your sister."

"understood."

But I can't read any more of the book...

Since Xiao Kui was admitted to the hospital, Qin Jing has not read a book. Even if he tries to distract himself by picking up a book, he can't even focus on a single page. Even though he knows that standing there won't change anything, no matter how many times he picks up a book, he can only put it down. It's as if he has a reading disorder and has lost the ability to read.

Qin's mother drove Jing to the hospital building.

When they arrived at the ward, they saw through the glass that Qin's father was holding Xiao Kui's hand and saying something.

Xiao Kui had taken the medication before and is still in a coma. Due to chemotherapy, she often vomits and has diarrhea, and can't sleep well at night.

“Aoi, lately when I see you lying in the hospital bed sleeping, I often find myself lost in thought. When I’m lost in thought, I’m thinking and thinking, but I just can’t understand why this happened to you?”

"Why is this happening? You've always been such a kind and lively child; your mother and I have been honest people our whole lives; even if we suffer a little loss, we just laugh it off and never argue with anyone, let alone do anything wrong. What sins did we commit in our past lives that God would let you get such a strange illness?"

"When you were little, you and Xiaojing would roll around on the carpet. Although your mother was watching with great anxiety, I was really happy to see you playing so energetically and happily..."

"If I could, Dad, I really want to lie here in your place. I really want to see you again, with your bright smile as you ran around the house..."

Qin's father lay down on the edge of the bed, held Xiao Kui's hand, and buried his face deeply in the quilt.

Outside the door, Qin Jing turned to look at her mother and found her face covered in tears, covering her mouth and crying silently. All Qin Jing could do was hug her, hoping to bring her some warmth.

And so they stood outside the door for a very long time, until Qin Ma stopped crying and wiped her tears clean before smiling and walking into the ward.

One day, Xiao Kui asked Qin Jing this question.

"Nini, will Xiaokui get better? Will she get better if she takes her medicine and sleeps well? Can I still go to the nursing home with my brother to perform in a play?" Xiaokui asked, sitting on the hospital bed with an IV drip in one hand and holding his hand tightly with the other.

Her face was no longer as healthy as before; it was sickly pale, and she looked two years younger than before, her eyes filled with tears and hope as she looked at him.

Since birth, this child has always looked at him with that same gaze, a gaze of complete trust. But that once radiant smile has now turned into one of unease and helplessness.

Qin Jing wanted to speak, but the words stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say anything. She could only reach out and pat her head.

Her beautiful long pink hair was gone; she had shaved her head because of chemotherapy.

Touching her younger sister's head, Qin Jing sighed inwardly, "She's really gone bald..."

Qin Jing shaved Xiao Kui's hair herself, and her younger sister loved it and was very proud of her long pink hair.

Because she really didn't want outsiders to see this scene, she didn't go to the barbershop, but used the electric clippers at home. Originally, her father was supposed to come, but he was very weak when it came to this kind of thing. Just by turning his back to Xiao Kui, his eyes were already filled with tears, so Qin Jing stepped forward.

Qin's parents initially refused, but Xiao Kui said, "It's fine as long as Nini comes!"

That day, Xiao Kui sat quietly in a chair wearing an apron. Qin Jing used electric clippers to shave her hair little by little. It was really simple and convenient. First, she cut off the long hair, and then she shaved it along the outline of her head. It was done in less than ten minutes.

But every push Qin Jing made felt like an eternity of cutting her own flesh.

The image of Aoi blankly looking down at the hair scattered on the ground, and finally bursting into tears, will probably be a nightmare he will never forget for the rest of his life.

Recently, Qin Jing has been having dreams like this, which then wake her up in fright.

Qin Jing was no stranger to death. He had experienced countless cycles of death, and he had also seen his loved ones saddened while lying in a hospital bed, feeling sorrow for their deaths. This was a basic emotion that even animals had. At that time, he simply watched and repeated this process until his mind became completely empty.

He wasn't particularly afraid of death; after all, he had long since become numb to it.

Upon arriving in this world, he received meticulous care from his parents, affection from his sister, and friendship from his friends. His cold and numb heart was melted, and he experienced the beauty and emotion he had read about in the book.

But now, watching Xiao Kui beside him grow weaker day by day and about to die, he felt immense pain in his heart.

No! We can't give up yet! There must be another way!

By the way, if it's one of those legendary monsters, there's definitely a way to deal with it.

Qin Jing ran out early in the morning. He ran to the shopping street, hoping to find Aunt Li and Uncle Huang, who sold the fried chicken nuggets and croquettes. Qin Jing knew that they were the humans who had been ordered by Su Jiu to come here to take care of his monster-turned-human form.

They would definitely know how to contact those great demons like Su Jiu.

But when he arrived there, he found that the two stores were closed, but there were signs for rent on them.

"What's going on!" Qin Jing said angrily.

The shop owner next door said, "Oh, Xiaojing, they suddenly moved away a few days ago."

"How could this happen..." Qin Jing was so shocked that her mind went blank and her ears were ringing.

"Hey, hey, Xiaojing." Before the boss could say anything, Qin Jing had already turned and run forward.

Qin Jing hated himself, perhaps because he hadn't agreed to Su Jiu's request, which was why these monsters were avoiding him. Perhaps it was because of his selfishness that Xiao Kui was now unable to receive treatment.

'No, we can't give up yet! Yes, there's still there!' Qin Jing took off her glasses and ran towards Sunflower Kindergarten.

He remembered what Su Jiu had said: the relationship between monsters and humans was not distant. In the environment where humans lived, there were also many monsters, or beings that had connections with monsters.

By this time, the kindergarten gates were already closed. Qin Jing didn't care about anything else, jumped and crawled over, letting the sharp points scratch her thighs, and jumped into the school, running towards the principal's office.

Just then, Teacher Hong came out because she heard the noise, and Qin Jing grabbed her by the collar.

"Xiaojing, what's wrong with you?" Teacher Hong noticed the boy's unusual behavior and asked gently.

"Teacher, please help me, please save Xiaokui!" Qin Jing said, on the verge of collapse, unable to hold back any longer.

"So you knew who we were all along. Come in and talk." At this moment, Director Gao opened the door and said with a sigh.

Qin Jing was led into the room and the door was closed.

"I'll pay any price, please save Xiao Kui. I know you have special abilities, you can definitely save Xiao Kui," Qin Jing said.

"Xiao Jing, remember, don't say things like that to monsters. Most monsters don't lie, because once you say it, it means you've made a contract." Teacher Hong asked Qin Jing to sit down and patted his head as she spoke.

"Unfortunately, we are just scattered monsters living in seclusion among humans, and we do not have the ability to save lives," said Director Gao with a sigh. He was a stone man who had once received offerings from humans, but now that the mountain had been leveled, he had become an ordinary monster.

Teacher Hong pulled up the cuffs of her shirt, revealing bright red scales on her snow-white arm. She bit down on it, tore off the scales, and blood flowed out.

Her hair became thinner, while her blood became more vibrant, eventually congealing into blood-red crystals that floated into her hand.

“Hey, Hong, that’s your life essence.” Director Gao sighed.

"Here, take this. It won't save the child, but it should make Xiao Kui feel a little better," Hong said with a smile. She suddenly looked much more haggard as she took out the drop of blood.

"teacher……"

"It's alright. Teachers are meant to protect and safeguard their students, especially since Xiao Kui was a student in one of my classes." Teacher Hong handed the drop of blood, which had crystallized, to Qin Jing.

"Thank you... teacher." Qin Jing lowered her head and said. Although she was very grateful, Xiao Kui still couldn't find a way to help.

"Go back first. I'll try to find out if any older monsters might have a solution," said Director Gao.

"Go back first, Xiao Kui needs your company too," Teacher Hong comforted Qin Jing.

Feeling restless and agitated, Qin Jing carefully held the blood crystal and started running quickly. He ran like this all day, and his feet were covered in blisters. With each step, his feet felt like they were being twisted in pain.

But it was this pain that was punishing him, reminding him that he couldn't give up, couldn't cry, and gave him the motivation to keep going. In the end, he walked into the hospital, dejected, and went to the courtyard outside the inpatient building.

Even at night, the hospital continued to receive a steady stream of people. Some were smiling, others had stern faces. Who knew how many others were experiencing the same agony of losing a loved one? No, even in the same situation, the feelings are different. Thinking about this was ultimately pointless…

At that moment, Qin Jing saw a white figure among the crowd walking in the garden. It was not the color of the human world, but a white that brought hope, a pure white like snow. Instantly, it reminded Jing of the elf she had seen on the mountain a few years ago.

Qin Jing rushed towards that direction, countless memories surging into her mind.

Section 62: A Miracle from a Monster

Several years ago, on the mountain, there was a nine-tailed fox at the Inari Shrine that looked like a god just by its appearance, a dragon girl named Jiao Tu who could create a space, a Qiong Qi that could fly around the earth in an instant, and a Great Tengu who was said to teach famous generals and celebrities martial arts, military strategies and tactics...

They demonstrated all sorts of incredible abilities to her; if they were the great monsters from these myths, they would definitely be able to save Xiao Kui!

"Wait!" Qin Jing quickly ran towards the direction where the white figure had disappeared.

If it's one of those supernatural beings that exists! Those monsters beyond reality, then there should be a way! That's right! Xiao Kui can be saved!

As he ran to the corner of the hospital building, a figure threw himself into his arms.

"Xiao Jing! Xiao Jing! I miss you so much!" This was a white-haired girl wearing a light blue kimono, hugging Qin Jing and calling out repeatedly.

"It really is you... Youyou! Can you take me to see Su Jiu and Uncle Qiongqi?" Qin Jing recognized the white-haired little girl in her arms and exclaimed in surprise.

Qin Jing pulled Youyou along as if she had grasped a lifeline. He was right; it wasn't an illusion.

"Honestly, I told you not to go over there. I was actually hoping to see if Xiaojing would cry." A unique and beautiful woman said with a flick of her long sleeves, as she walked out of the gap and came to Qin Jing.

"Su Jiu!" Qin Jing looked at the newcomer in surprise.

"Oh, Xiao Jing, it's been so long! You missed seeing your older sister that much?" The one who appeared in front of Qin Jing was the nine-tailed fox who had disappeared that night.

"Since you're here, it means you must have a way, right?" Qin Jing asked eagerly.

Su Jiu covered the lower half of her face with her fan and said, "You are as perceptive as ever. I came here for this very reason, but I must say this beforehand."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jing's eyes lit up. If he was still useful to the demon, it meant Su Jiu would help him, and Xiao Kui could be saved. He completely forgot about Teacher Hong's warning; he couldn't care less about anything else now.

"As long as it can save Xiao Kui, I'll agree to anything! I'll do whatever you ask! I'll pay any price!" Qin Jing hurriedly agreed when she heard that the other party had a solution.

Su Jiu, who had been covering half her face, couldn't help but chuckle triumphantly, but quickly suppressed it and continued, "Once a pact with a demon is made, it cannot be broken. Have you thought it through?"

"Please save Xiao Kui." Qin Jing's biggest fear was that the other party would say there was no way to help, or that they no longer needed him. If that happened, Xiao Kui would truly have no hope of being saved.
