Chapter 40: Only Half a Year Left to Live

  Yuehui's face was somewhat pale as he returned to Murong Zi's sickroom, the usually gentle Dr. Yue had become somewhat gloomy, tightly clutching that medical report.

  Zi Mian also discovered Dr. Yue's abnormality and asked: "Dr. Yue, what's wrong with you?"

  Upon hearing Zi Mian's crisp voice, Dr. Yue's complexion returned to normal, and he looked at her gently, saying: "Let's talk when the young lady wakes up."

  They waited for three hours, and finally, Murong Zi woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the worried faces of Da Er and Xiao Er, and it seemed that she had been hospitalized again. "What happened to me?" She remembered that when they were excitedly throwing her around, she felt dizzy and suddenly lost consciousness.

  "Mom, you suddenly fainted and scared Xiao Mo to death." He had never seen his mom before, but he was extremely eager for motherly love. Now that he had finally found a mom, he really didn't want anything unexpected to happen to her again.

  "Has she fainted?" Murong Zi muttered to herself, and suddenly grasped her own wrist to take her pulse. Her heart sank instantly.

  The toxins in her body are spreading, destroying her body, and now the herbs on her body are limited, which can't solve these poisons at all. Originally thought there was enough time, but unexpectedly, some toxins in the body accelerated the spread when moving martial arts.

  Looking at Murong Zi's complexion, Yu Yin gently brushed away the scattered hair in front of her forehead and said softly: "Girl, you know about your physical condition, don't you?" The girl's medical skills were a kind of mysterious and powerful traditional Chinese medicine passed down from the Huaxia country, and she probably already knew about her own physical condition.

  "What's going on?" Murong Zi looked at Yueshen and asked, had the hospital found something?

  "Yatou's body is very weak, her vitality is rapidly weakening, and many important living cells are dying quickly. At this rate, you won't live for half a year." That was the result given by Leike, and there were two reasons for this, one was that she was born with such a physique, born short-lived. The second was poisoning.

  Thinking of the breakfast and lunch sent by the housekeeper she had abandoned at first, and the results he had tested himself, he had already guessed that there was poison in the food.

  Who poisoned her so much that she suffered so much and didn't even get to see the world properly before leaving.

  The warm eyes were filled with gloom, but Murong Zi didn't notice.

  Murong Zi was surprised that Yue Yin could find out, and honestly admitted: "I knew."

  "Bang——" Zi Yan, who was originally pouring water for Murong Ziyu, heard their conversation and was so shocked that she didn't even notice the cup shattering on the ground. Her big eyes were covered with a layer of mist as she rushed to Murong Ziyu's side, "Wuuu... I don't want Mommy to die, no..." She had finally found her mommy, but hadn't expected that her mommy wouldn't be able to live for even half a year. How could this be?

  "Mommy, we haven't made a lot of money yet, and we still haven't unified the underworld. You absolutely can't die, you absolutely can't leave Xiao Miao behind. Don't leave Xiao Miao." As she spoke, Zi Miao's tears flowed out like a faucet.

  Since he was one year old, Zi An had never cried again, and this was also his first time crying so miserably.

  "Zi Mian, don't cry, stop crying." Murong Zi hastily wiped away Zi Mian's tears. Zi Mian had always been well-behaved and never cried before, but now that he was crying, it left Murong Zi flustered.

  "Girl, do you want to survive? I actually have a way..." Yuelin looked deeply at Murong Zi, if it wasn't for being forced, he absolutely wouldn't use that method.

  But Ya Tou can only live for half a year, and she has a bright future ahead of her, how could she possibly only be able to live for half a year.

  "Doctor Yueliang, to be honest with you, I have more than a dozen rare and potent toxins in my body. Half a year is probably the longest estimate." As for Yuè Yǐn, Mù Róng Zǐ didn't have as many defenses against her, firstly because he truly cared for her, and secondly because she posed no ordinary threat to him.

  "What a vicious poison, who administered it?" Zi Mian finally stopped crying, but upon hearing Mu Rong's words, a flash of murderous intent flickered in her bright eyes. Whoever poisoned and tried to kill Mommy would have to fight to the death with her.

  "Girl, I can really save you, you have to believe me, but will you...” The moonlight cast a dark shadow on his eyes, which sank slightly as he hesitated to speak. It was clear that she was just a little girl he hadn't known for long, yet he couldn't help but care more and more about her.

  But can he do it? Dare he do it? Even if the girl survives, will she be happy then? Moon Hidden hesitated.

  "Who knows, Murong Zi smiled calmly and said: "Dr. Yuè, don't worry about me, I want to live, I have Zi Mò, and the unfulfilled wishes of Chì, and there are people I haven't met yet, I absolutely won't allow myself to die."

  "Is there really a way?" Upon hearing Murong Zi's words, a hint of joy flashed across Yu Yin's eyes.

  "Mm!" Murong Zi nodded slightly.

  "Jiuying, come out for me." Jiuying handed Murong Zi over to the doctor and then disappeared into thin air.

  However, everything that happened to Murong Zi was seen by him. He stared tightly at Murong Zi, completely unable to think that she had been poisoned with over a dozen deadly toxins. Was it someone from the Murong family who did this? No wonder the Murong family asked him to come and protect her, but those were things that happened before he came, and everything was beyond his control.

  Yuè Yǐn saw the sudden appearance of Jiǔ Yǐng and was stunned for a moment. There was actually someone like that beside him, and he hadn't even noticed. The man was very handsome, with an icy aura emanating from his body. However, Yuè Yǐn remained calm and composed, without any pressure.

  "Jiuying, my father wants you to protect me. If I die, it won't be good for you either, right?" Jiuying was resolute in his determination to only protect her and do nothing else, which made her feel utterly helpless.

  "It is." If one's master dies during his protection, it will absolutely be a great stain on another person's life.

  Jiuying gazed at Murong Zi, whose delicate eyebrows were like crescent moons, and whose grey-purple eyes shone with an innate nobility. Her nose was straight, her lips a deep red, and her features were exquisitely refined, but due to the poison, her complexion looked terrible.

  He had never met a woman as strong and resilient as her, despite being poisoned so severely. He found himself not wanting this master, whom he had only known for a few days, to die, possibly due to his own mission, or maybe something else, even he couldn't understand.

  "Alright, then promise me one thing?" The corner of Murong Zi's mouth slightly curved up.
