Just in the battle just now, in order to protect Chu Chu, he took a heavy blow from Bai Ling and his internal organs were seriously damaged.
"Are...are you okay?" Chu Chu asked anxiously, her eyes slightly red.
Lu Chenguang forced a smile and comforted her, "Don't worry, I can still hold on. We have to leave here quickly. It will be troublesome if Bai Ling changes her mind."
After saying that, he endured the pain, took Chuchu's hand, and they rushed out of the hall together, speeding towards the exit of the demon world.
Behind them were the demons from the demon world that were gradually moving away, as well as the palace that was once glorious but now filled with blood.
Meanwhile, Lu Chenguang's situation was even more complicated. His fever raged like a raging fire within him, and even the fresh air of the human world offered no relief. The Lu family panicked, rushing him to the city's most renowned hospital.
Inside the hospital, busy doctors and nurses shuttled between the various wards, with Lu Chenguang's ward becoming the focal point of their discussion. Doctors took turns conducting a series of exhaustive tests, from basic blood tests to complex CT scans and even blood cultures, but the results were puzzling—all indicators were within normal range, and no direct cause of the high fever could be found.
"This is incredible," said Dr. Li, the attending physician, taking off his mask and frowning, as he spoke to the young doctors around him. "The patient's temperature continues to rise, yet there are no signs of infection or inflammation. This is completely beyond our conventional understanding."
Lu Chenguang's mother, Ren Jinting, stood anxiously by, her hands clenched into fists, her eyes filled with worry and confusion. "Director Li, my son has never been to the hospital since he was young. His health is enviable. He usually gets a headache or a fever, but it's usually cured with two pills. Why did it happen so suddenly this time? And the fever started without any warning..."
"Ms. Ren, please don't worry," Director Li consoled her. "We understand your feelings, but this situation is indeed rare. We are conducting a comprehensive investigation, not missing a single detail."
As time went on, the hospital's experts held an emergency meeting to discuss Lu Chenguang's condition.
At the meeting, various hypotheses were put forward and then denied one by one, until someone mentioned a little-known field - special physique.
"Is it possible that this patient has some special physique that makes his body react differently to external stimuli?" A senior professor put forward this bold hypothesis.
Special physique, this word sounds mysterious and complicated. It may mean that Lu Chenguang's body has surpassed the limits of ordinary people to some extent, but it may also be this transcendence that has led to the current high fever.
To verify this hypothesis, the hospital decided to conduct a more in-depth examination of Lu Chenguang, including genetic sequencing and immune function tests.
Although Ren Jinting was nervous, she could only hope that these high-tech means could solve the mystery.
While waiting for the results, Lu Chenguang's condition was sometimes better and sometimes worse, and his high fever rose and fell like the tide, making everyone worried.
As night fell once again, and all was silent, a faint light quietly illuminated the ward. It was Chu Chu, using her still-recovered magical powers to try to awaken the slumbering Lu Chenguang. The light, filled with warmth and hope, gently brushed across Lu Chenguang's face, like a gentle spring breeze, finally pulling him back to reality from his nightmare.
"Where are we in the middle of the night?" Lu Chenguang opened his eyes. It was pitch black all around him. Only the faint moonlight coming in from the window outlined the contours of the room. There was a hint of confusion and bewilderment in his voice.
Chu Chu chuckled and replied in a nonchalant tone, "If you don't wake up, you'll be sent to the laboratory to be a guinea pig."
There was a hint of bitterness in her joke. Only she knew how anxiously she had stayed by Lu Chenguang's side these days, using her weak magic power to stabilize his condition.
Lu Chenguang heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. He then asked, "Have you recovered your mana? You were able to come directly from such a far place like the Movie City to the Golden City? How many days have I slept?"
Chuchu stretched out her slightly round little hand and gestured gently, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes: "Five days, a full five days. Godfather and godmother are almost crazy with worry. They even planned to take you abroad for medical treatment, thinking that this would find a way to save you."
At this point, Chu Chu asked in confusion: "Why haven't you told them the truth yet? They have the right to know and the ability to help you. And they will definitely help you conceal your identity."
"You know I can't be exposed easily. In the eyes of humans, the Demon Lord is the biggest villain. Do you think they can accept it?"
Chuchu said: "Godmother is more receptive, you try to tell her first. Sooner or later we will leave the human world. Life is short, so try not to leave any regrets!"
Lu Chenguang nodded and planned to tell his mother Ren Jinting in the human world first.
When Lu Chenguang heard this, his eyes darkened slightly, as if a fierce struggle was going on deep in his heart.
He knew very well that once he revealed the identity of the Demon Lord, it would be like opening Pandora's box, and unknowns and challenges would follow.
But as Chuchu said, they will eventually leave the human world, and in this limited time, he does not want to leave any regrets for his mother.
In the dead of night, Lu Chenguang gently pushed open his mother's door and found Ren Jinting sitting by the bed, holding his childhood photo in her hand, her eyes full of tenderness and nostalgia. He walked slowly forward and gently called out, "Mom."
Ren Jinting looked up and saw Lu Chenguang woke up with a serious expression. Her heart tightened and she quickly put down the photo. She asked with concern and surprise: "Chenguang, are you awake? Are you feeling unwell? I will call a doctor as soon as possible. Yes..."
Lu Chenguang shook his head, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "I'm fine now. There's a reason for my illness. You'll understand once I tell you about it. It's about my identity and why I've been hiding it."
Ren Jinting's face flashed with surprise when she heard this, but she quickly regained her composure. She gently held Lu Chenguang's hand and gave him silent encouragement: "Chenguang, no matter what you want to say, Mom will listen carefully."
