Qian Ruibo waved to the other employees to help handle things here.
At the other table, there was a woman repeatedly apologizing to those around her, seemingly embarrassed by the bald man's behavior.
The commotion subsided with a few beams of holy light from Wang Zheng, and Qian Borui returned to his seat with Wang Zheng.
"Xiao Zheng, are these all your classmates?"
Wang Zheng quickly introduced, "Yes, this is my uncle, everyone can just call him Uncle Qian."
After everyone greeted him politely, Qian Ruibo asked the kitchen to add several more dishes, and then said, "It's on me today, you guys eat well and have fun."
Then they hurriedly prepared to leave.
Wang Zheng was a little curious and asked, "Uncle Qian, I went to Boyue yesterday and they said you went back to your hometown. How come I saw you here? And you look so bad. Are you alright?"
Upon hearing Wang Zheng speak, Qian Ruibo turned around, and as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up.
He then sighed and said, "It's my mother's health that's the problem. She's always been quite healthy, and she's basically in charge of managing the resort I run in Slow City."
But a few days ago I suddenly received a call from an employee saying that she had fallen ill, so I rushed back.
I've been to hospitals big and small, but they still can't find anything wrong with me.
All of his physical indicators were normal, but he remained in a coma and did not wake up.
I also tried to treat her with nectar, but it didn't work; it only slightly replenished her vitality.
But the person has been unconscious for several days, so there's no other way but to keep them hanging like this for now.
"By the way, Xiao Zheng, you're also a healer. When you're free tonight, would you like to try it on me? Consider it a favor."
Looking at the haggard man in front of him, Wang Zheng figured he probably hadn't had a proper rest for several days and had been using his superpower to replenish the old man's life force. Otherwise, a B-level awakened individual wouldn't have become so weak.
He readily agreed: "Uncle, what are you saying? Why wait until tonight? Let's go now."
Qian Ruibo was so grateful he didn't know how to express it. His mother was staying at the guesthouse, and he had just received a call and rushed over.
He hurriedly led Wang Zheng over, but Chu Xiaoman, seeing this, quickly said, "I'm also a healer, and I want to do my part for Grandma. Uncle Qian, let me go with you."
"this……"
Qian Ruibo only relented after seeing Wang Zheng nod.
"Alright then, thank you too, Xiaoman."
With Qian Ruibo's permission, Chu Xiaoman smiled smugly, made a face at Fang and Liu who were left behind, and then followed them.
Only Curly Hair and Liu Yi remained, looking helplessly at the ever-growing pile of dishes on the table.
"Who can finish this?!"
...
As the three of them ventured deeper into the area, Wang Zheng couldn't help but remark that the scenery at the guesthouse was indeed quite beautiful.
Wang Zheng and Chu Xiaoman followed Qian Ruibo, passing through bamboo groves and winding streams, until they arrived at the old lady's place of rest.
After opening the door and entering, Wang Zheng felt a sense of oppression in the room, which seemed somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place it.
The old lady lying on the bed had white hair and a hale and hearty face, looking as if she were asleep, and her expression was very peaceful.
His skin was slightly dark and his breathing was a little rapid, but his heartbeat and pulse were normal. He looked just like a normal person.
Qian Ruibo took the lead in demonstrating, releasing a stream of rain. All that could be seen was the raindrops falling gently, which were then immediately absorbed by the old lady's skin, leaving not a trace of water behind.
After absorbing the spiritual raindrops, her breathing became slightly calmer, but she still showed no signs of waking up.
Looking at the peaceful-faced old woman in front of her, Chu Xiaoman summoned a large water ball to envelop her. This was a move that Wang Zheng had initially helped him develop.
However, it only lasted for a few dozen seconds before the spiritual energy in the water sphere was quickly absorbed, and the water sphere dissipated directly into the air without even a drop of spiritual water falling.
Chu Xiaoman was panting heavily, large beads of sweat streaming down her forehead. She casually took out a Rejuvenation Potion from her pocket, swallowed it, and handed one to Qian Borui.
Then he said, "Wang Zheng, something's wrong. I can't continue the treatment at all. As soon as the water ball touched her, all the spiritual energy was absorbed by the old lady's body. In just a short while, my spiritual energy has been completely drained."
Qian Borui followed suit, swallowed the pill in his hand, thanked him, and looked much better. He had been in a state of spiritual energy depletion for the past two days, and it was remarkable that he had been able to hold on until now.
He's retired from the military now, so he can't get his hands on those medications.
Wang Zheng frowned as he looked at the scene before him. He could tell that the old woman's condition was clearly abnormal. She was absorbing spiritual energy too quickly, almost to the point of devouring it, as if there was a bottomless pit inside her body, and all the spiritual energy was being directly digested.
Even Qian Ruibo, a B-level Awakener, couldn't do anything about it, so he had no choice but to try anything as a last resort.
Seeing Qian Borui nod to him, Wang Zheng conjured a ball of holy light in his hand and slowly shone it toward the old lady.
As the holy light enveloped her, the old woman's previously calm expression immediately changed.
She instantly began to struggle in agony, her body twisting unnaturally, and wisps of black smoke emanating from her.
