Chapter 58 - This aint a simple Tape Worm (1/2)

Lan Xueruo covered her mouth in shock and said.

Lan Xueruo: Junior Brother Jean!

But the Emperor was calm as always and asked.

Cang Wanhe: Oh? And why is that so? Do you have anything in mind?

Jean: I have, but I am not certain, I would like to ask for Your Majesty to see your pulse first.

Cang Wanhe also did not say anymore; his slightly muddied vision silently sized up the man that his daughter chose. But in his heart, he didn't have any hope that he would be able to aid his condition in any way.

Perhaps his medical expertise was outstanding, but he was just too young. Such a thing like medical expertise, does not depend on knowledge from studies; it required many years to accumulate and compile.

Jean needed only 10 seconds to check the pulse and said.

Jean: Your Majesty, next, I will use profound energy ȧssess your internal organs. Please do not resist.

Cang Wanhe: Alright. Just go ahead and do your best. We have already said that you are the person Yue'er had brought over. We can definitely trust you.

Immediately afterwards, Jean's released a very small amount of profound energy that flowed through Cang Wanhe's internal organs. He also did not continue for too long and withdrew his profound energy soon after. Then, he opened his eyes with a complicated expression.

Jean: ...Your Majesty, is there a scar that shouldn't be too long on your ċhėst area? If there is, was it left there approximately three years ago?

Cang Wanhe thought about it for a bit, and then nodded as his pupils revealed his amazement.

Cang Wanhe: That's right. On our ċhėst, there is in fact, a scar about an inch long that was also indeed left behind three years ago… How did you know that we have this scar on our body?

Jean: Alright, you want to hear the bad news or the good news first?

Cang Wanhe: ...Start with the bad one.

Lan Xueruo was impatiently waiting for Jean to speak, when he said.

Jean: What your majesty has, is in fact, not an illness, nor poison. But it is also not the damaging of your life veins that Gu Qiuhong had said… Rather, someone implanted a parasite in you.

Lan Xueruo: Ah? Parasite?

Lan Xueruo's fragrant lips opened wide as shock spread across her face. But ang Wanhe was still, nevertheless, calm and indifferent. It was very clear that he didn't believe Jean's words, this was not because he did not trust Jean, but because he trusted Gu Qiuhong even more.

Jean: This type of parasite is called the 'Soul Devouring Life Binding Parasite'. This parasite is planted inside the body and relies on the heart's blood to mȧturė. After maturing, it lives near the heart's veins and lives by consuming a person's vitality.

This type of parasite is very small, but it requires an incomparable amount of vitality to grow; nearly half of the hosts' vitality could be consumed by it.

The reason why Your Majesty's health had been weak beyond compare these few years while also aging at an extreme pace, is because an entire half of your vitality had been swallowed by this 'Soul Devouring Life Binding Parasite'.

Cang Wanhe's expression was as calm as before. Then, he revealed a trace of suspicion and said.

Cang Wanhe: If it is truly as you say, then there is no way this formidable parasite that had been implanted in our body gone undiscovered by Gu Qiuhong, whose medical expertise had been the absolute best since long ago.

It would be possible if you were to say that he wasn't able to discover it in the first treatment, but in these three years, Gu Qiuhong has been treating us for several dozens of times. It is extremely unlikely that he was unable to discover it every single time. Jean, could it be that you have misunderstood something somewhere?

Jean: Absolutely impossible. I knew that Your Majesty would certainly not believe me, however, now the good news come out.

I am one of the few people able to remove it, your majesty, you are lucky because I have a technique that could help destroying this parasite.

If this were any other type of parasite, regardless of whether it was even more terrifying, as long as its location is found, it is possible to find a method to lure it out or directly kill it.
