Dou 2: Soul Gu Yuena, settles accounts with Tang San

Chapter 5: Misfortune favors the unfortunate! The eccentric Ma Xiaotao!
The capital of the Douling Empire.

Xuanshui Hospital, an ordinary three-person ward.

"Mom, Aunt Mei."

Jiang Nannan rushed over, carrying a basket of fruit, and walked quickly into the ward.

Lying on the hospital bed by the window was a beautiful woman who was nearly 40 years old, looked 30% similar to Jiang Nannan, and had a pale face.

Beside the bed, there was a woman who was about thirty years old.

The person lying on the hospital bed is Jiang Nannan's mother, Li Suyun. Although Jiang Nannan's father is no longer with us, she still has her father's surname.

The woman who stayed by the bedside was named Mei and was a good friend of my mother.

"Is Nannan back?"

Aunt Mei took the fruit from Jiang Nannan and made way for her.

"mom!"

Jiang Nannan walked over, held her mother's hand, put it on her face, and her eyes were red.

"Mom is fine, it's just a minor illness. Don't let it delay your training in the academy."

Li Sumei forced a smile on her face and comforted Jiang Nannan.

"Mom, you are my only relative. If anything happens to you, what's the point of me living?"

Jiang Nannan burst into tears when she heard this.

Li Sumei was a great beauty when she was young, as she was able to give birth to Jiang Nannan. However, due to lack of maintenance over the years, the years have left traces of aging on her face.

But in Jiang Nannan's heart, she will always be the most important person.

"Aunt Mei, what's wrong with my mother?"

The mother and daughter talked a lot, and Jiang Nannan calmed down and asked Aunt Mei.

"It's my internal organs. Something's wrong."

Aunt Mei sighed softly and replied.

"Internal organs?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan's face suddenly turned pale.

The medical level in the Douluo plane is extremely average. If it is a fracture or a flesh wound, it may be okay.

But when it comes to internal organs, it’s no longer a trivial matter.

"Nannan, Mom is fine. I'll just go home and take care of myself."

Li Suyun pretended to be relaxed and said to Jiang Nannan.

"Well, Mom's illness will definitely get better."

Jiang Nannan smiled as bright as a flower and squeezed her mother's hand.

"Aunt Mei, please continue to take care of my mother. I'm going to pay the medical fee."

Jiang Nannan said something to Aunt Mei, then stood up and left the ward.

She was both good in character and in study, and by working part-time, she was able to earn 200 gold soul coins a year at Shrek Academy.

This money is enough for her and her mother to have enough food and clothing.

But in the hospital, this amount of money is not enough.

Li Suyun has been in the hospital for three days, and she needs ten gold soul coins a day. Fortunately, Jiang Nannan took out thirty gold soul coins, so there is no problem.

"Doctor, I want to ask, what is my mother's illness, and can it be cured?"

Jiang Nannan nervously asked the female doctor who was in charge of Li Suyun.

"Hey! Little girl, to be honest, your mother has kidney problems. She is almost dead."

"In this case, your mother won't live more than three months."

"But as for treatment, there is a way. That is to ask a Title Douluo of the Healing Department to take action."

The female doctor sighed and explained.

"A Title Douluo of the Healing Department?"

Jiang Nannan was in a trance and murmured softly.

She was a student of Shrek Academy and was very clear about the status of Titled Douluo.

Even for the Emperor of the Douluo Empire, it is not an easy task to invite a Titled Douluo. How could she, a Level 30 Soul Master, have the qualifications and ability to do so?

"Doctor, how much does it cost to invite a Title Douluo of the Healing Department?"

Jiang Nannan pursed her red lips, her peach blossom eyes full of determination.

She must save her mother no matter what!
"If you use money, it will cost at least 10,000 gold soul coins, and you need to make a reservation."

The female doctor opened her mouth and spoke, avoiding Jiang Nannan's gaze.

Although Jiang Nannan was extremely beautiful, she was dressed in ordinary clothes and even had no makeup on, so it was obvious that she was not from a wealthy family.

Ten thousand gold soul coins is not a small amount.

In today's Douluo Continent, a family of three only needs ten gold soul coins a year. Sure enough, upon hearing this astronomical figure, the hope in Jiang Nannan's eyes immediately dimmed.

She could earn two hundred gold soul coins a year in Shrek Academy. Even if she didn’t eat or drink, it would take her fifty years to earn ten thousand gold soul coins!

"Little girl, I heard about your mother's illness."

"In addition to asking a healing Title Douluo to take action, I have another way."

At this time, another female doctor suddenly came over and said.

"Doctor, what else can you do?"

Jiang Nannan raised her head, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"There is a Xuanming Sect in Douling City. They produce a kind of Xuanshui Pill, which should be able to save your mother."

"Of course, the price of Xuanshui Dan is basically 10,000 gold soul coins."

"But now Xuanming Sect needs a young and beautiful girl. You are so beautiful, you must be..."

Another female doctor looked at Jiang Nannan and said with a smile.

"Thank you, doctor. I don't need it."

Jiang Nannan was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she was still polite. She said thank you and immediately turned around and left.

Although she didn't know what the Xuanming Sect was.

But with such conditions, it is obvious what Xuanming Sect is thinking.

"Tsk, I helped her, but she didn't even appreciate it."

The female doctor curled her lips and said dissatisfiedly.

"Misfortune only picks on the unfortunate. You should stop talking. You know that going to Xuanming Sect is not a good thing."

The sigh coming from behind made Jiang Nannan quicken her pace.

She had one last way out, which was to ask for a loan from her senior sister Zhang Lexuan.

Li Suyun taught her since she was young that even if you are poor, you should not lose your ambition, and you should not owe favors to others or borrow money from others.

But now, she has nowhere else to go.

……

Shrek inner courtyard, Zhang Lexuan's dormitory.

Xu Ying also has a castle outside Shrek Academy.

But now, he basically lives in Zhang Lexuan's dormitory.

The two returned home and the family had dinner. Mr. Mu had already returned to Poseidon Pavilion, and there were only two people in the dormitory.

Zhang Lexuan finished washing the dishes and held up a plate of cut fruit. She picked up a piece of fruit with her scallion-like fingers and put it into Xu Ying's mouth.

"Is it sweet?"

Zhang Lexuan asked with a smile.

"It's sour. Another piece."

Xu Ying winked and made faces.

"Who are you trying to fool? Take it yourself."

Zhang Lexuan rolled her eyes at Xu Ying, then picked up another piece and put it in her mouth.

Tuk Tuk!

The two were chatting about business matters when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Big sister, is Xu Ying here?"

A lively female voice came in.

"That evil star Ma Xiaotao is here again."

Xu Ying rubbed his temples and felt a little headache.

"Who told you that you are the only one in the entire academy who can control the ultimate water? With great power comes great responsibility."

Zhang Lexuan said gently, then stood up and opened the door.

The door opened, and a bright girl, nearly 1.7 meters tall, with long flowing crimson hair and wearing a dark red hunting suit, appeared outside the door.

"Xiao Ying is inside."

Zhang Lexuan looked at the lively Ma Xiaotao with smiles in her eyes.

"Got it, Senior Sister."

Ma Xiaotao came skipping into the room, and when she saw the fruit plate on the table, her eyes lit up, and she turned around and hugged the fruit plate in her arms.

"You are so good, Xu Ying. Why are you ignoring me and eating alone?"

Ma Xiaotao stood behind Xu Ying and said with a smile.
