Mushroom Man

West Palace.

After leaving the Demon Suppression Tower, Wu Liang did not delay at all and immediately informed the Silver Dragon King that the Dragon Blood Mushroom had been successfully refined.

Upon receiving the news, the usually composed Silver Dragon King lost his composure, bursting into both tears and laughter.

He cried because the creation of the Dragon Blood Mushroom signified his impending separation from his daughter, never to see her again.

The laughter was because the chronic illness that had been troubling her daughter could finally be suppressed again, and she had regained consciousness.

Two extremely complex emotions surged in his chest, making it difficult for the dragon leader to calm his mind.

But the Silver Dragon King ultimately considered the bigger picture and knew that this was no time for sentimentality.

He suppressed his excited thoughts and immediately led Wu Liang to Ao Miaoyin's bedside.

After waiting for many days, Ao Miaoyin was constantly tormented by pain.

Even though the Silver Dragon King spared no expense each day, using large quantities of healing mushrooms to prolong her life, it was of no use in alleviating her ever-decreasing vitality.

Ultimately, the reason why Ao Miaoyin fell into a coma was entirely due to hunger.

As we all know…

If mushrooms are not fed for a long time, they will gradually wither and die. In order to maintain a glimmer of life, they may even fall into a dormant state and seal themselves off.

The "gambling stones" sought after by mushroom masters are actually products of dormant mushrooms that have been sealed away by chance.

However, most dormant mushrooms, even if their need for feeding is temporarily relieved due to dormancy, will still lose their vitality over time if they are not fed, and eventually wither and die completely.

Ao Miaoyin is essentially a dragon-human mushroom, so naturally she cannot escape the common fate.

Her condition did not improve in the slightest despite the best care she received due to prolonged lack of feeding.

On the contrary, as time goes by, vitality is gradually depleted, and complexion becomes increasingly sallow.

At this very moment...

Because of the prolonged delay, Ao Miaoyin's face turned ashen, and her once fair and delicate skin lost its luster, becoming withered and rough.

Her once thick, black hair is now completely white.

That appearance was just like the tragic state Wu Liang was in when his lifespan was about to end and his time was coming to a close.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

The once gentle and kind-hearted Dragon Girl has now fallen into such a miserable state.

Anyone who saw it couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

However, getting Ao Miaoyin back to health is not as complicated as one might imagine.

Compared to the desperate situation Wu Liang faced when his lifespan was about to end and he had to fight his way out to a second life, this matter is simply insignificant.

To save Ao Miaoyin, all that's needed is to treat the symptoms.

Since she has fallen into a deep sleep due to a long period of lack of feeding, let her eat to her heart's content!

One dragon blood mushroom might not be enough to fill her stomach, but it's more than enough to stabilize her waning life force and prevent further deterioration.

"Wu Xianxie, hurry!"

The Silver Dragon King, already impatient, hurriedly urged them on.

Wu Liang dared not delay for a moment and immediately took out the Dragon Blood Mushroom and carefully fed it to Ao Miaoyin's lips.

The dragon blood mushroom melted in her mouth, turning into a warm current that flowed slowly down Ao Miaoyin's throat, instantly spreading throughout her body.

Ao Miaoyin was as if she had just received rain after a long drought. The paleness on her face faded at a visible speed, and her originally withered skin gradually regained some luster.

However, his hair was still completely white, giving him a somber and aged appearance.

Clearly, the significant loss of vitality ultimately had some irreversible effects on her.

Before long, Ao Miaoyin's eyelids twitched slightly, as if she was about to wake up.

Upon seeing this, the Silver Dragon King was overjoyed. He quickly leaned over to the bedside, his voice trembling with excitement as he called his daughter's name over and over again.

However unexpectedly...

No matter how the Silver Dragon King called out, Ao Miaoyin remained completely still, except for the initial slight twitch of her eyelids. She remained unconscious, just as before.

Upon seeing this, the joy on the Silver Dragon King's face gradually froze, replaced by a look of shock and anger.

He abruptly turned to look at Wu Liang, and couldn't help but growl out, "What's going on? Why isn't he waking up yet?"

Wu Liang seemed to be frightened by his almost out-of-control appearance and couldn't help but take a half step back.

Fortunately, although the Silver Dragon King was emotional, he did not lose his mind and do anything outrageous.

In fact, Wu Liang was also wondering why Ao Miaoyin had not yet woken up.

But he showed no sign of it on his face. He composed himself and immediately spoke to reassure the Silver Dragon King.

"Father-in-law, please don't be anxious!"

"Miss Miaoyin is just too weak because she has been asleep for too long."

"A single dragon blood mushroom can only stabilize her life force; it's not enough to wake her up immediately."

"However, Miss Miaoyin's condition has improved and she is gradually recovering."

"Give her some time, at the latest three to five days, and Miss Miaoyin will definitely wake up."

After hearing Wu Liang's explanation, the Silver Dragon King calmed down.

Realizing he had lost his composure, the Silver Dragon King looked ashamed and spoke apologetically.

"Please don't be offended, son-in-law Wu. I wasn't angry with you just now. I lost my temper in a moment of panic. I have no intention of blaming you."

"Parents' hearts are always full of love and concern, and I understand my father-in-law's feelings." Wu Liang shook his head slightly, not minding it at all.

"Although Miss Miaoyin is not Father-in-law's biological daughter, after so many years of living together, he has long regarded her as his own."

"She hasn't woken up yet, so it's only natural for you to lose your composure for a moment. How could I possibly mind?"

He paused here, his expression gradually becoming serious.

"However, Father-in-law, now is not the time to vent your emotions."

"So much time has passed now, and the Palace Master may return to the Dragon Palace at any time. We can't delay any longer."

"Since Miss Miaoyin's condition has been relieved, she will wake up on her own soon."

"In my opinion, Father-in-law, it's time for you to send us away from the Dragon Palace."

"Delay will only lead to unforeseen changes. If we drag this out any longer, it will be too late once the Palace Master returns to the palace."

Wu Liang's words made the Silver Dragon King sigh.

He clearly understood that following Wu Xianxu's suggestion was the most correct choice at the moment.

But when the time came, he was still reluctant to send his daughter away.

The Silver Dragon King took a deep breath, his eyes hardening, no longer hesitant or indecisive.

He looked at Wu Liang and said solemnly, "Son-in-law Wu is right. Time waits for no one, and we really can't delay any longer."

"Originally, I wanted to tell Miaoyin about her background in person before sending her away, but now it seems that it is too late."

"If that's the case, then I'll trouble you, my dear son-in-law, to tell her everything after she wakes up, and also to pass on a message for me..."

At this point, the Silver Dragon King's voice softened slightly.

“Miaoyin, I believe that you will be able to fulfill my unfinished vision, enabling all living things to live in harmony and fostering a world of love and unity.”

"Finally, I want to say... Miaoyin, I love you." (End of Chapter)
