My Ares Son-in-Law

Situ Shenzhen was visibly taken aback upon hearing Xiao Chen's words.

What about his granddaughter, Situ Lingsu?

What's the matter?
He suddenly looked at Situ Lingsu, his face turning deathly pale: "Lingsu, is there something you're hiding from your grandfather?"

Situ Lingsu kept her head down, not daring to look at Situ Shenzhen even once. Clearly, there were some things she hadn't told her grandfather.

"Well, you two, grandfather and grandson, are quite amusing. You're both hiding your illness from each other. Although you don't want the other to worry, what if one of you has a problem? Wouldn't that be incredibly painful?"

Xiao Chen realized that this grandfather and grandson were a real pair of clowns.

Situ Shenzhen looked at Situ Lingsu and said, "Lingsu, tell me quickly, what's wrong with you? Doctor Xiao is here now, he might be able to help you. If we miss this opportunity, we may have no hope left."

Hearing this, Situ Lingsu shook her head helplessly: "It's no use. I'm already terminally ill. There's no one in this world who can save me. I know my body best. Grandpa, don't worry. Even so, I will definitely stay with you."

"Foolish!"

Situ Shenzhen was almost frantic with worry. Why was this girl so stubborn? Xiao Chen had already demonstrated that level of ability; how could she still not believe him?

"Grandpa, don't worry. When I came to the Western Region this time, I discovered a miraculous medicine. This medicine can alleviate my symptoms and prevent me from suffering too much. It might even help control my condition. Although it's unlikely to completely cure me, it's enough!"

Situ Lingsu smiled and said.

It's a very sad thing, but she talks about it like it's a happy occasion. This girl probably thinks she doesn't have much time left, and having this miracle drug would be good if she could live a few more years.

"What kind of miracle drug?"

Situ Shenzhen ignited hope.

Situ Lingsu took out a small bottle from her bosom, which contained about a dozen pills. The packaging was very exquisite, and it was obviously not simple. Even the pills had a strange medicinal fragrance.

Xiao Chen also looked at the pill with great interest, and for a moment, a strange look suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Grandpa, this is the miraculous medicine. The ancestor asked someone to buy it for me. There are only ten of them, and they are worth more than ten thousand spirit stones. They wouldn't even take the money they offered. They said that this medicine was developed by a master and has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. Although it's a bit exaggerated, the effect is indeed very good. I've tried it myself. Anyway, I can't make this pill."

Situ Lingsu began to explain.

Qin Xianglan glanced at the pill: "It looks pretty good, but I feel like I've seen it somewhere before. This thing is worth 10,000 spirit stones? That means each one costs 1,000 spirit stones? That's too outrageous. Everyone knows that spirit stones are extremely precious in the secular world. Even in holy lands, people generally don't use spirit stones to buy things. Most of these things are used for cultivation."

"Is this thing really that good? Miss Situ, you haven't been scammed, have you?"

"impossible!"

Situ Lingsu shook her head and said, "I have already tried the pills. They are absolutely effective, and the effect is excellent. They are definitely worth the price. Otherwise, I would not have bought them. All ten pills have the same effect, no problem. I want to buy more, but they won't sell them to me."

"Besides, it's absolutely impossible for you to think you've seen this medicine somewhere before. That expert is someone only my ancestor could contact."

"I only said it seems so. Miss Situ, please don't be too angry. Your medical skills are superb, and you are very knowledgeable. Naturally, you have more experience than I do."

Qin Xianglan was too lazy to argue with Situ Lingsu about this issue, since it wasn't his business anyway.

"Lingsu, could you let Grandpa take a look at this medicine?"

"Situ Shenzhen asked."

Situ Lingsu nodded, took out a pill, and handed it to Situ Shenzhen. Situ Shenzhen examined it carefully for a moment, scraped off some powder with a scraper, and tasted it.

The next moment, he was completely shocked.

A surge of heat burst from the tip of his tongue, instantly engulfing his entire body, and some of his minor health problems vanished in an instant.

My stomach was a little sore from being nervous, but it's gone in an instant.

This is truly a miracle drug!

"It truly is a miraculous medicine. As expected of our Situ family's ancestor, finding such a miraculous medicine is a blessing for you, Ling Su. But what exactly is wrong with you? Even this miraculous medicine cannot cure you?"

Situ Shenzhen became even more worried.

He had already tested the drug's effects and there was absolutely no problem with it; moreover, it was a top-tier miracle drug that he had never seen before.

Even with such medication, it could only alleviate Situ Lingsu's symptoms. Just how serious was Situ Lingsu's condition?

Situ Lingsu kept her head down and refused to answer, as if she had something difficult to say.

"Let me answer you!"

Xiao Chen suddenly spoke.

"Dr. Xiao, can you tell?"

Situ Shenzhen exclaimed in shock.

"I can tell, but it depends on whether your granddaughter agrees to me telling her, after all, it's her personal privacy."

Xiao Chen looked at Situ Lingsu, seeking her opinion.

"If you really can see it, then tell me. But even though you are very capable, I still don't quite believe it. Even my ancestor couldn't see my condition. It was only after I told him that he concluded I was beyond saving and went to find this miraculous medicine for me."

Situ Lingsu looked at Xiao Chen and said.

"Okay, then I'll tell you."

Xiao Chen looked at Situ Shenzhen: "Your granddaughter was probably poisoned with a Gu when she was about seven or eight years old, but no one noticed it at the time. Later, when your granddaughter grew up, she discovered the Gu poison herself and dealt with it on her own. But the problem is that the Gu poison had been lurking in her body for too long, and she was ultimately unable to completely remove it."

"Over the years, she has experienced unimaginable pain every now and then. You can recall, didn't she disappear every now and then? That wasn't to take care of business, but because she didn't want you to see her suffering. That kind of pain was truly unbearable."

As Xiao Chen's voice fell, Situ Lingsu looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at a devil: "No... this is impossible! You can't possibly be more powerful than my ancestor, can you? Even my ancestor couldn't see through it, how could you see through it? This is too unbelievable!"

"So, Dr. Xiao was right? Why didn't you tell me about this? You've been bearing this pain all by yourself."

Situ Shenzhen hugged his granddaughter tightly, feeling her trembling body, and could imagine how painful it must have been for her when she was in pain.

And how lonely and desperate it must be to have no one by your side.

Situ Lingsu nodded: "Grandpa, he's right, but no one can solve this problem. If it were a few years ago, I could have treated it myself, but unfortunately I was too young then... Perhaps this is fate!" (End of Chapter)
