"My second child's condition stabilized for a few days, but then he started having another attack, and this time it was more serious than before."
Please, great sage, help me! I'll do anything to cure my son's illness!
I only have this one son!
Lin Ya wiped away her tears, her eyes brimming with tears.
Li Fengjuan said, "I'll do my best, but I'm afraid that Huang Daxian might not listen to my advice!"
With Wang Xiaoer's parents' hopes fulfilled, Li Fengjuan pushed open the door and entered Wang Xiaoer's room.
The room was small and dark. A man with messy hair sat on the edge of the bed, his fingernails scratching incessantly at the bed frame, leaving fine marks on the wooden frame with some bright red bloodstains.
Wang Xiaoer's eyes were dull. When he saw Li Fengjuan come in, he calmed down for once. His fingernails stopped scratching the edge of the bed and he stared straight at Li Fengjuan.
To be precise, they were looking at the fox spirit floating behind Li Fengjuan.
Li Fengjuan stood by the bed, her eyes meeting Wang Xiaoer's, but neither of them spoke.
However, if one can see spirits, one can see the fox spirit behind Li Fengjuan talking to the yellow fox spirit on Wang Xiaoer's body.
"Old fox, are you here again today to plead for the Wang family?"
"Isaiah Wong said, looking somewhat displeased."
"Master Wong, Wang Xiao Er offended you unintentionally back then, and has suffered so much since then. Could you please forgive Wang Xiao Er and the Wang family?"
"snort!"
"You think I'll spare the Wang family? No way!"
"That brat from the Wang family killed an entire family of my descendants. He must pay with his life. I will make Wang Xiaoer pay with his life and let the Wang family taste the bitterness of being childless!"
Wong Tai Sin grinned and chuckled.
Possessed by Wong Tai Sin, Wang Xiao'er's mouth stretched open and he laughed along with Wong Tai Sin, his smile eerie and terrifying, and his laughter unlike that of a normal human.
Meanwhile, his knuckles were curled up as he scratched his face incessantly, leaving several scars on his cheeks.
“It is not easy for animals to cultivate, and only one in ten thousand can become a demon. Since you and I are both demons, why not put aside these grudges and instead increase the killing?”
Aren't you afraid it will affect your cultivation?
"You old fox, you make it sound so easy. Considering we're both demons, I advise you to mind your own business and leave now, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
Before the fox spirit could say anything more, Huang Daxian, already impatient, unleashed a strange gust of wind that struck Li Fengjuan and the fox spirit behind her.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind swept through the room, causing Li Fengjuan to stagger.
Li Fengjuan is connected to the spirit fox spirit residing within her, and therefore she is aware of the conversation between the fox spirit and Huang Daxian.
The fox spirit possessing Wang Xiaoer was quite powerful. It had cultivated in the mountains for over a hundred years and had reached the late-stage perfection of the Demon Soldier Realm, equivalent to a human cultivator at the late-stage perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm. It was even stronger than the fox spirit in Wang Xiaoer's family.
Therefore, knowing that further discussion was pointless, Li Fengjuan left Wang Xiaoer's room with a grim expression.
When Lin Ya and Wang Wenzhang saw Li Fengjuan come out of the room, they quickly surrounded her and anxiously asked, "Master Li, how is it? Is Xiao Er alright?"
Li Fengjuan shook her head and sighed, "Huang Daxian still won't let Wang Xiaoer go."
"I can't help you with this!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Wenzhang seemed to age considerably in an instant.
"Master Li, please save my son Xiao Er! I'm willing to give up everything I own to help him recover!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ya felt a wave of dizziness, as if the sky had collapsed. She immediately knelt on the ground, crying out, "Li Banxian, you must save my son!"
"I only have this one son!"
She burst into tears.
"Lin Ya, get up quickly!"
"That's too much for me!"
"Master Li, if you refuse to save my son, I will kneel here forever!"
"It's not that I don't want to help, but that Huang Daxian is too powerful; even my spirits can't do anything about it!"
Wang Ru cried even harder.
Seeing Li Fengjuan about to leave, Wang Ru and Wang Wenzhang stepped forward at the same time to stop her. At this moment, Li Fengjuan was like a lifeline to Wang Ru and Wang Wenzhang.
If even your lifeline is gone, then there is no hope left!
"Please, Master Li, think of another way to save my son. I'll kowtow to you."
Wang Ru said, her forehead hitting the ground with a thud.
Wang Wenzhang was calmer than Lin Ya and said, "Does Master Li have any other way to save my little brother?"
At that moment, as Wang Wenzhang said this, a person suddenly flashed before Li Fengjuan's eyes.
"Here's what we'll do: go to Old Zhang's house in the village and ask Zhang Yuan for help. If Zhang Yuan is willing to come, your child might still be saved!"
Li Fengjuan said, recalling Zhang Yuan whom she had met by the stream at noon.
That child has unknowingly encountered a fortuitous event; his pure yang energy even frightens his own family's immortals. Perhaps he can save the Wang family's child!
"Old Zhang's family in the village, Zhang Yuan?"
Wang Wenzhang repeated the sentence, not reacting for a moment.
"You mean Zhang Yuan, Wang Xiaoer's elementary school classmate from Zhang Ting's family?"
It was him!
Although Wang Wenzhang didn't understand why Li Fengjuan wanted him to go and fetch Zhang Yuan, it concerned his child's life, so he didn't ask any further questions. Afraid of delaying the rescue, he said, "I'll go right now!"
After leaving his house, Wang Wenzhang walked towards Old Zhang's house in the south of the village, his mind preoccupied. His steps were hurried and anxious.
When Lin Ya heard that her child could be saved, she finally felt a little better. Her loud sobs turned into intermittent low sobs, but she did not forget to entertain Li Fengjuan.
She invited Li Banxian to sit down at the octagonal table and chairs inside the house, made tea for Li Fengjuan, and thanked Li Banxian for saving her life.

When Wang Wenzhang arrived at Zhang Yuan's yard, Zhang Yuan was practicing Vajra Kung Fu under a tree in the yard.
Is Zhang Yuan home?
Bang bang bang!
Zhang Yuan stopped practicing his martial arts and replied, "Who is it?"
Then he ran to the iron gate of the courtyard, opened a crack in the gate, and saw Wang Wenzhang's haggard face.
Uncle Wang, are you looking for my parents?
"They went to work in town and haven't come back yet!"
Zhang Yuan said.
Although Wang Wenzhang and Zhang Yuan's families are from the same village, Wang's family lives in the east end of the village, while Zhang Yuan's family lives in the south end. The two families don't usually keep in touch.
Zhang Yuan thought Wang Wenzhang had come to his house to see his parents.
"Oh, I know Old Zhang and Sister Lin went to work and haven't come back yet. I came here to see you today!"
Looking for me?
Zhang Yuan looked puzzled.
Suddenly he remembered what his mother had said last night: Wang Xiaoer had been tainted by something unclean, and Zhang Yuan should not go to Wang Xiaoer's house. Could it be related to Wang Xiaoer?
Zhang Yuan had a guess in his mind.
Wang Wenzhang then briefly told Zhang Yuan about Li Fengjuan's request for him to invite Zhang Yuan, and about Wang Xiaoer's strange illness.
Zhang Yuan pondered for a moment. Although his mother told him not to go to Wang Xiaoer's house, Zhang Yuan still decided to go and see what was going on with Wang Xiaoer.
After all, Wang Xiaoer was from the same village as him and was his classmate. Moreover, he was a completely different person now.
"Uncle Wang, you go back first, I'll close the door and come over right away!"
Zhang Yuandao.
"Then I'll have to trouble you!"
Although Zhang Yuan was the junior in terms of seniority, Wang Wenzhang spoke to Zhang Yuan with great politeness because he needed Zhang Yuan's help, fearing that Zhang Yuan would not come!
After Wang Wenzhang left, Zhang Yuan returned to his room, took out a few talismans he had just drawn the day before, put them in his shirt pocket, locked the door, and then headed to Wang Xiaoer's house on the east side of the village.
At the east end of the village, under a lush banyan tree, stands a two-story house, with a winding dirt road leading to Wang Xiaoer's doorstep.
As Zhang Yuan walked along the road, he looked at Wang Xiaoer's two-story house, which was shrouded in a light gray mist.
It's obvious that there's something unclean in Wang Xiaoer's house.
Zhang Yuan walked quickly and arrived at Wang Xiaoer's door.
