Xia Yuanfang stared at the storage bag filled with Kongsang leaves and petals, and could hardly believe his eyes.
"...Really...really Kong Sang?"
She took the fresh-keeping storage bag, looked at it over and over again, and finally opened it a little, pinched a tip of the Kongsang leaf from it, and put it in her mouth to taste it.
"It's really Kongsang..." Xia Yuanfang looked up, his expression excited but restrained: "Did you really find it in the Exotic Beast Forest? Did you know..."
Xia Yuanfang's reaction made Xia Chujian very strange.
To her, Kongsang and the Blood Qilin were treasures she presented to Xia Yuanfang.
Xia Yuanfang definitely shouldn't know what this thing is or how precious it is.
But Xia Yuanfang's reaction at this time seemed as if she not only knew what the Blood Qilin and Kongsang were, but also knew how precious they were!
Xia Chujian remained calm, looking confused. She tilted her head and asked curiously, "Know what?"
Xia Yuanfang rubbed his brows and spoke in his usual calm voice, "The Kongsang tree is the companion plant of the Blood Qilin. For every one million Blood Qilin trees, there is only one Kongsang tree. And only ten Blood Qilin trees can grow in the Exotic Beast Forest each year."
Xia Chujian opened her lips slightly in surprise: "Aunt, how did you know?"
"You know everything?" Xia Yuanfang raised his eyebrows and diverted Xia Chujian's attention with a question.
Xia Chujian nodded vigorously: "I know, because the association has a mission description, and Doctor Shen also told me..."
Xia Yuanfang closed his eyes, his eyes filled with fear: "First meeting, I knew you still went to the exotic beast forest? Do you know how dangerous it is there? Do you know that these rare plants are guarded by exotic beasts?"
Xia Chujian nodded blankly. "...I'm mentally prepared. But no matter how dangerous it is, I'm going. Doctor Shen said the only hope of saving my aunt is the Kongsang. And our association just happened to have a mission to go to the Exotic Beast Forest to find the Blood Qilin. With the equipment provided by this mission, I had the opportunity to go to the Exotic Beast Forest and was lucky enough to obtain the Blood Qilin and the Kongsang."
"Although my aunt recovered without using the Kongsang tree, I think we should be prepared for any eventuality."
"If Auntie gets sick again in the future, we have Kongsang in our hands, so we won't have to worry about anything."
Xia Chujian said with a smile, her pure eyes full of joy and a desire for recognition.
Xia Yuanfang glared at Xia Chujian, wishing he could teach her a lesson.
But even though Xia Chujian was so naughty when she was a child, she never hit him.
What's more, Xia Chujian has grown up now.
Of course, in her eyes, when she first met me, she was still a little girl.
Xia Yuanfang felt mixed emotions, but she also understood that Xia Chujian had done so much and taken such great risks, all for her...
How could she be angry with a child like this?
Xia Yuanfang was reflecting on himself, reflecting on his conservatism and the fact that he was not as enterprising as a child.
She should have put aside everything in the past and demonstrated her own value in this new world.
If she didn't do this, the same thing would happen again, and sooner or later she would not be able to continue protecting Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian was also secretly observing Xia Yuanfang.
She never expected that Xia Yuanfang had been unconscious in the hospital bed for the past three years, but he knew all about these things that most people didn't know.
My aunt also has many secrets!
But Xia Chujian didn't want to expose Xia Yuanfang, and even secretly swore in her heart that she should let her protect such an aunt!
Her secrets, everything about her, will be protected well from the first meeting!
Xia Chujian half-knelt in front of Xia Yuanfang, held Xia Yuanfang's hand, shook it gently, then put it on her cheek and said coquettishly: "Aunt, don't be angry, it's all in the past. As long as you are fine, Chujian will definitely be obedient."
Xia Yuanfang looked at her fawning appearance and couldn't help but poke her forehead with his finger and said angrily, "I asked you to quit the Dark Night Hunter Association, will you listen?"
Xia Chujian giggled and tilted her head to say, "What did aunt say? Chujian didn't hear it."
"Naughty..." Xia Yuanfang sighed, hugged Xia Chujian in his arms, and whispered, "Chujian, auntie won't stop you from doing what you like, nor will she force you to do something you don't like."
She would not force Xia Chujian, but she would force herself to cheer up and replan her future.
While Xia Yuanfang was pondering, Xia Chujian also changed the subject: "Aunt, don't think about it, take a rest first. I will cook for you. What do you want to eat?"
She was about to interrupt and change the subject when Xia Yuanfang suddenly looked up and asked, "You said you found the Blood Qilin... Where is the Blood Qilin? Where is it?"
Xia Chujian's mouth twitched. Thinking of what she had done in her aunt's ward today, like a psychopath, she said embarrassedly, "...I don't want to talk about it."
"explain."
"...It's too embarrassing, I don't want to talk about it." Xia Chujian covered his face with his hands.
"You tell me, I won't hit you or scold you." Xia Yuanfang had come to his senses at this time and was not as shocked as before.
She felt that with Xia Chujian's outrageous behavior, nothing could shock her more.
It turned out that she was wrong.
When she heard Xia Chujian say that she was possessed by the devil and squeezed out the juice of the blood unicorn and smeared it on Xia Yuanfang's lips, and even ate nine blood unicorns in a row, she felt that her heart disease and cerebral hemorrhage were about to occur at the same time.
Although Xia Yuanfang tried his best to remain calm, his face turned pale and he squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "...Prodigal daughter!"
Xia Chujian had also given up. She had already told him the most embarrassing thing, so what else was there that she couldn't face?
She even made a face at Xia Yuanfang.
Xia Yuanfang was extremely angry, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
She thought thoughtfully, "First time seeing those nine blood unicorns, they must be fresh, right?"
"Yes, if it's not fresh, how can there be juice? But auntie, the color of that juice is so beautiful. To be honest, I really want to make lipstick with that color and put it on my lips. It looks so beautiful!"
Xia Yuanfang narrowed his eyes and asked again, "But I was in the hospital and heard you say that my illness is a serious genetic disease?"
"Yes, that's what Doctor Shen said. He also said that in the Beichen Empire, there is no cure for genetic diseases, except to try Kongsang. Otherwise, why would I take on this thankless task of Blood Qilin?"
"That Doctor Shen is so unreliable! Did you know? I sent him a message today, and he even asked me to prepare for your funeral!"
"I didn't give up and went to the Monster Forest to find Kongsang! Of course, you recovered on your own. I haven't had time to use this Kongsang yet!" Xia Chujian said happily.
Xia Yuanfang sat on the corner sofa in the living room like a stone or wooden sculpture, his face growing paler and paler.
She understood, she understood everything.
Why did she suddenly faint at home? Why was she diagnosed with a genetic disease? And why did her illness heal before she could even use Kongsang?
If she guessed correctly, the reason she had been in a "vegetative state" for three years was not because of a genetic disease, but because of poisoning.
