In the stillness of the night, Liu Feng habitually meditated and practiced his Qi cultivation in his room, trying to capture the faint spiritual energy in the air with each breath.
Unfortunately, the air in this bustling city is filled with car exhaust and the noise of crowds, making it almost impossible to find any spiritual energy.
Feeling that his cultivation was being hindered, Liu Feng sighed softly and decided to go out and find a more peaceful place.
He put on some light clothing, left the hotel quietly, and stepped into the streets of Hong Kong at night.
The neon lights on both sides of the street flickered, illuminating the hurried pedestrians returning home at night.
Liu Feng strolled through the night and, after some exploration, arrived at the edge of a small island, where he discovered a hillside far from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The lush trees, fresh air, and sea breeze brought him a long-lost sense of tranquility.
He sat down on a flat patch of grass, took out the Qingfeng Sword from the treasure gourd he carried with him, placed it on his lap, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began a deeper level of cultivation.
At midnight, the moonlight spilled onto the sea like water, creating a shimmering, tranquil, and beautiful scene.
On the other side of the island, a woman stood on the shore, holding a four- or five-year-old child in her arms.
She had been standing there for a long time, the sea breeze making her hair messy, but her gaze never left the sea in front of her.
Her heart was filled with despair and pain.
The woman was once a wealthy heiress named Lin Xia.
Right after graduating from university, she was deceived by a smooth-talking scumbag and became pregnant out of wedlock.
Ignoring her mother's advice, she resolutely eloped with the scumbag, which angered her mother, causing her blood pressure to spike and ultimately leading to her death from a stroke.
She lived with the scumbag for two years, and his true nature was gradually revealed.
Not only was he idle and lazy, but he also had affairs. When he could no longer see any financial support from Lin Xia's family, he beat and verbally abused her, eventually divorcing her and going to find other women.
Lin Xia originally wanted to live a good life with the scumbag, work hard, and prove to her family that her choice was right!
However, she never expected such an ending, which filled her with deep regret for her mother's death.
However, even greater misfortune was yet to come.
Her only source of emotional support—her son Lin Hao—was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at the age of three. This disease is extremely difficult to treat and offers almost no hope.
Lin Xia watched her son suffer terribly from his illness, her heart breaking, and her despair growing with each passing day.
She hates herself!
So, on this deserted night, she carried Lin Hao to the edge of the island and jumped into the icy sea.
While Liu Feng was cultivating, he suddenly sensed a sorrowful emotion and a gradually fading life force.
He was suddenly jolted awake from his cultivation, and his divine sense quickly swept around, discovering the mother and child slowly sinking in the sea.
Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Feng used his magic power and flashed to the seaside.
He acted swiftly, pulling Lin Xia and Lin Hao from the sea and gently placing them on the shore.
Lin Xia felt dizzy, then felt a pair of warm and strong small hands gently patting her back, allowing her to vomit the seawater in her stomach and gradually regain consciousness.
Seeing Lin Xia was unimpeded.
Liu Feng immediately turned to Lin Hao's small body and found that the child's condition was extremely critical, with only weak breathing and his life hanging by a thread.
His heart tightened, and he quickly and precisely patted Lin Hao's back on various acupoints. A gentle spiritual energy flowed in, helping the child expel the seawater that remained deep in his lungs.
Immediately afterwards, he tapped his ten fingers in quick succession, creating a faint layer of warming light around Lin Hao's body, stabilizing the tottering little life, and at the same time using his warm internal energy to dispel the chill in the child's body.
Lin Xia stood to the side, her soaked clothes clinging to her body. She shivered in the night wind, her curvaceous figure appearing even thinner.
She stared blankly at Liu Feng, a glimmer of hope flashing deep in her eyes.
Facing the child who looked only eleven or twelve years old, she actually had a fleeting illusion and silently prayed that Liu Feng could save her son.
She took her son to numerous hospitals, both Chinese and Western, but couldn't find a cure.
Now, however, Liu Feng is left to provide treatment.
At this moment, her heart was filled with complex emotions—gratitude, guilt, helplessness, fear, and unease.
Tears welled up silently and streamed down her face.
She choked up as she recounted her ordeal and her child's illness to Liu Feng.
If the child cannot be saved, she doesn't want to live on alone.
Tell Liu Feng not to rescue them anymore!
Liu Feng could only comfort her, "The child still has a chance, I will do my best to help you."
Seeing the pitiful and helpless state of the mother and child, Liu Feng couldn't help but think of himself before his rebirth and felt compassion.
He revived Lin Hao and temporarily stabilized his condition. Seeing that they were all soaking wet, he frowned slightly and asked Lin Xia softly, "Where do you live? I'll take you home first."
Lin Xia lowered her head, her voice filled with weariness and helplessness: "I'm homeless now... I sold my house to pay for my child's medical treatment, and my lease expired. Now... I have nowhere to go."
Upon hearing this, Liu Feng felt a slight pang of pain in his heart.
Looking at the mother and child in front of him, he understood their difficult situation and had no choice but to find a nearby hotel to settle them in.
In the hotel room, Lin Xia changed into a loose set of pajamas and was washing the clothes she and her son had changed out of.
Hearing the doorbell ring, Lin Xia opened the door and let Liu Feng in, then anxiously asked, "Lin Hao, is there any hope?"
At this moment, she had completely lost her mind, disregarding the fact that Liu Feng was just a child...
She saw Liu Feng as her savior!
No matter who said they could save the child, she was willing to believe them, hoping to grasp at any straw. The first time, Lin Hao ate a little more than usual.
