"This shouldn't be the result." Ling Chen's mind was in a mess. He forced himself to calm down and pondered for a while before rushing out of the house. He saw Qi Yue by the pool and asked anxiously, "There's no effect at all after drinking the Fairy Spring Water. What's going on?"
"No effect?" Qi Yue looked at Ling Chen and said, "The purification needs time. It won't take effect immediately."
"But it's been more than 20 minutes! The virus hasn't decreased at all. Instead, it's still spreading. "
"Oh?" Qi Yue looked surprised and said softly, "Could it be that there wasn't enough? No … With the purification ability of the Fairy Spring Water, that amount should be more than enough to keep them young. There's no way it can't purify a mere Isloka virus. "
As she spoke, Qi Yue flipped her snow-white hand and two small bottles filled with liquid appeared in her palm. "This is to prevent others from being infected, so I brought two more bottles. Try using these two bottles again … Hmm?"
Qi Yue suddenly stopped mid-sentence. She didn't hand the bottles to Ling Chen. Instead, she looked at the slightly swaying liquid in the bottles and her eyes began to flicker.
"What's wrong?" Ling Chen asked anxiously.
Qi Yue didn't answer. She opened one of the bottles and poured a drop of Fairy Spring Water on her palm. An indescribable coolness quickly spread from her palm to her entire body. Qi Yue's eyes fell on the drop of Fairy Spring Water, and her crescent brows gradually furrowed.
"What's going on?" Ling Chen couldn't keep his cool in this situation and shouted anxiously.
"Sigh …" Qi Yue slowly closed her palm and suddenly sighed. A trace of guilt that Ling Chen had never seen before appeared on her beautiful face. "Little Master, I miscalculated. I thought that the Fairy Spring Water could purify all viruses, including the Isloka virus, but I just realized that I was wrong … It really can't purify the Isloka virus in their bodies."
"Why?!" This reply was like pouring a bucket of cold water over Ling Chen's head. "Didn't you say that the Elven Spring Water can purify any virus?"
"No, it's not a problem with the Elven Spring Water." Qi Yue shook his head, "The Fairy Fountain Water indeed has the ability to purify any virus, but the Fairy Fountain Water belongs to the Mystic Moon world, while this is Earth."
Facing Ling Chen's excitement and confusion, Qi Yue slowly explained, "Compared to the Mystic Moon world, earth's natural aura is simply too dirty, and the density of natural elemental essences is pitifully low. As such, whether it is in terms of power or lifespan, earthlings are far inferior to those in the Mystic Moon world. Conservatively speaking, Earth's natural aura was more than 300 times dirtier than the Mystic Moon world's natural aura, and the density was more than 20 times lower. As soon as the Mystic Moon world's Fairy Fountain Water comes into contact with earth's aura, it will be instantly polluted, and its purifying abilities will disappear. At most, it will make people feel refreshed and comfortable for a short period of time. Another reason is that the natural aura of both worlds is quite different. The Mystic Moon world's natural aura and elemental essences are far greater than earth's, and there are many races that earth doesn't have. In such an environment, as soon as the Fairy Fountain Water comes into contact with the air, it will no longer be the Fairy Fountain Water, and it will no longer have its purifying abilities. "
Hearing Qi Yue's words, Ling Chen stared in shock for a long time.
In order to drink the Fairy Fountain Water, it was impossible for it to not come into contact with the air. This was because as long as one was on earth, even if they didn't come into contact with the air … there would still be earth's air in their abdomen, and it would circulate with the outside world.
This meant that on earth, the Fairy Fountain Water, which could purify all viruses, would not be able to do anything.
"Then what about in the Mystic Moon world? Since you can bring Ruo Ruo to the Mystic Moon world, I'm sure you can bring Meng Xin and Su Su there … "Ling Chen said as he looked at Qi Yue.
Qi Yue's voice became softer, "Last time, I told little master that the Lunar Scourge can only contain souls or inanimate objects … I can only transfer lil sis Shui Ruo because she's dead, while they're still alive. It's impossible for them to enter the Lunar Scourge's space, and if they're dead, there's no point in transferring them."
Ling Chen did not say anything else, and he turned and walked back into the small room.
The feeling of hope being extinguished was much more difficult to bear than despair. Because of his trust in Qi Yue, as well as the miraculous effects of the Fairy Fountain Water, Ling Chen had thought that the Isloka virus would be perfectly resolved, and he had even confidently told everyone that he had found a way to get rid of the Isloka virus. However, in the end, it was just a beautiful illusion that would shatter at the slightest touch.
After returning to everyone, Ling Chen's dark expression caused everyone's hearts to sink. Looking at the unconscious Su 'Er and Yun Meng Xin, who was struggling to keep her eyes open, Ling Chen's lips trembled for a long time before he said with great difficulty, "I'm … sorry …"
Those 3 short words completely destroyed the last bit of hope in everyone's hearts. Xiao Qi, who had been confidently waiting for a miracle, covered her mouth as she silently wept. Yao Ying and the others' expressions also dimmed … they were not worried about Yun Meng Xin and Su 'Er, but rather Ling Chen. He always had absolute confidence in his words, but this time, it concerned Yun Meng Xin and Su 'Er's lives, and he had failed … not only did this mean that Yun Meng Xin and Su' Er had lost their last hope, but it was also a heavy blow to Ling Chen.
"Why are you apologizing?" Yun Meng Xin lightly laughed, "The Isrock Disease is incurable, this is something that the entire world knows. Even if you're Ling Chen, there's no reason for you to be able to do it, so you don't need to feel guilty at all …" Her voice paused, and her dim eyes suddenly flashed with a beautiful light, "I thought that I would be a tool for the family for the rest of my life, living like a puppet without a soul or freedom … however, not only did I escape from my fate, but the value of my life has also reached an unimaginable level. The luckiest thing is that I have the best big brother, the best sisters, and … you …
"Life is like a dream. Since I've experienced so much, it's time for this dream to end. I have no regrets, and I have no regrets …"
"No! Don't say things like that! " Xiao Qi leapt over and cried as she vigorously shook her head, "No … big sister Meng Xin, you'll definitely be fine … you and Su Su will both be fine …"
"Don't go near her!" Yao Ying immediately rushed over to stop Xiao Qi. Bringing Xiao Qi to this room was already the limit. However, she definitely couldn't go near Yun Meng Xin and Su 'Er.
The atmosphere became silent, sorrowful, and oppressive. From Ling Chen's dark expression, everyone knew that the method he had been extremely confident in had failed. This meant that there was no way to save Yun Meng Xin and Su 'Er. You Yue and Han Lan simultaneously knelt in front of Ling Chen and said in self-reproach, "Master, we're sorry. We didn't protect them properly … please punish us, master."
"Get out … all of you get out!" Ling Chen raised his head and looked at the white ceiling, his voice so calm that it made everyone feel uneasy.
"Big brother Ling Tian?"
"Master …"
Xiao Qi, Yao Ying, and the others looked at Ling Chen worriedly.
"Let's all get out. Big sister Ying, take Qi Qi to a safe place," Ling Chen's voice was powerless and drawn-out.
Yao Ying nodded and gently pulled the teary-eyed Xiao Qi, who didn't know what to do, out, and quietly walked out with everyone else before gently closing the door.
In the quiet room, the only ones left were Ling Chen and the two disease-possessed girls. The moment the door was closed, Ling Chen's body leaned against the wall behind him, and then powerlessly slid down the wall until he sat on the cold ground. He raised his hand and gripped his hair … heaven did not kill him, hell did not take his life, the Mad Scientist's mental restriction did not restrict his freedom, and the most terrifying Hell had died at his hands … he had overcome so many difficulties, and no matter how powerful his enemies were, they had not been able to make him fall. However, no matter how powerful he was, facing the Isloka Virus, he could only feel despair.
Himself, his Shui Ruo, and now Yun Meng Xin and Su 'Er …
He felt incredibly resentful. Why did Isloka Virus exist in this world? If this was the heavens' punishment for the humans' frequent wars, why did they have to punish these innocent girls?
"They said that you wouldn't be infected by the Isloka Virus … is that true …?"
Yun Meng Xin's weak voice sounded out, and Ling Chen paused. He looked up and lightly nodded, "Mm, because I was infected by the Isloka Virus before, but I was cured."
Yun Meng Xin fell silent, as if she was shocked by Ling Chen's words. Perhaps it was because she needed a lot of strength to speak. Ling Chen stood up and walked over to her bed. He heard her weak voice, "My family doesn't want me anymore. To them, I'm just a burden that makes them feel fear … Ling Tian … are you willing … to have me …"
"Yes, of course I'm willing!" Ling Chen unhesitatingly nodded, "As long as you want me, you can stay here for as long as you want. I'll never chase you away."
Yun Meng Xin's lips slightly curved as she looked at Ling Chen with her slightly closed eyes, "Ling Tian, why … are you so good to me? I'm not your relative, nor am I your benefactor. I've never done anything for you, and the agreement between you and big brother has long since been fulfilled thousands, or even tens of thousands of times … why are you still so good to me … "
Why was he still so good to her …
Ling Chen stared in shock. His relationship with Yun Meng Xin, as well as all the help he had given her, was to repay Yun Feng for giving him the 13223 medicine. Initially, he had decided that after completing the 'Quest', he would leave and spend all of his time with Shui Ruo. However, unknowingly … the moment she became the Lady of Ling Tian's City, he didn't feel as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. Instead, he felt joy, anticipation, and a bit of worry that he would place too much pressure on her.
When he had found out that she had been infected with the Isloka Virus, he had felt as if he had been struck by lightning, just like when he had found out that Shui Ruo had been infected with the Isloka Virus. Hearing Yun Meng Xin's words, Ling Chen finally found his answer. He lowered his gaze, silently looking at Yun Meng Xin. Looking at this girl who had used her strength, perseverance, intelligence to move him, and her beauty to conquer him, he softly said, "Because, in my heart, Meng Xin is a very important person, someone who I can't lose."
Yun Meng Xin, who hadn't cried after finding out that she had the Isrock Disease, nor had she cried when she was chased out by her family, was now bursting into tears. "Ling Chen, do you know what all the things you've done for me mean to me … do you know that you've always left your image in my eyes and in my heart, and I can't get rid of it no matter what I do. My entire soul is filled with you, and there's no space for anyone else. Every day, every minute, and every second, I live in your image. No matter what I do, see, or encounter, all I think about is you … you met me to fulfil your promise to big brother, so why did you make me fall in love with you so completely …"
Ling Chen: "… …"
