Chapter 3 - Sunset Peak
”Father! How's Mu Er?! ” Seeing the white-haired elder walk out, Li Zhenglong and the rest immediately surrounded him.
”Sigh!” With my cultivation, I can only temporarily suppress the poison for a year. After a year, I will be powerless! ” The white-haired old man, Li Yuncheng, sighed with regret.
Li Zhenglong was still unwilling to give up, and begged bitterly: ”Father! Was there really no way at all? ”You have to save him!”
”If it was any other poison, I might have been able to expend some of my primeval essence to expel it from my body. But the person who poisoned it was extremely vicious, and even used the coldest Netherworld Pepper, and mixed it into the Spirit Channel Pill!”
When he broke into the Houtian realm, the poison flowed through his entire body, and has long since entered into his marrow. I had spent a large amount of true essence, but it was only able to suppress it for a year, what a pity, my Li Family finally gave birth to such a good seedling, and died just like that!
After Li Yuncheng finished speaking, killing intent flashed past the depths of his eyes.
”Humph!” I never thought that my grandfather, who was announced to be long dead, would still be alive. Fortunately, even he was unable to cure the poison from the Netherworld Pepper, so I spent quite a bit of money on him.
Hearing Li Yuncheng say that he could not save Li Mu, Li Feng's face changed unnoticeably. However, no one noticed that he was abnormal, because he still had a sad and sad expression on his face.
”Let's go in and see him. From heaven to hell, this child's life must be miserable!”
Li Yuncheng waved his hand, and walked out. Seeing that, Li Zhengkun immediately followed.
”Big brother!” Li Xue was the first one to rush into the room as she cried. Only Li Zhenglong followed in amongst the Li family members, but the others left. In their eyes, Li Yuncheng who had 'revived' suddenly became the target of their pursuit.
Li Mu had already woken up a long time ago, and was currently sitting on his bed in a daze. He had heard everything Li Yuncheng said, including what Li Xue and the others had said before.
”Big brother, it's all Xue'er's fault. I've harmed you, wuu …” Li Xue threw herself into Li Mu's embrace, and cried incessantly.
Li Mu did not have any reaction, his eyes were lifeless, just like a dead man. Although Li Yuncheng suppressed the poison in his body, no one would know that he only had a year left to live, not to mention that he was still a genius of the Li Family, and had a limitless future.
Seeing Li Mu's current state, Li Zhenglong sighed. He had always been strict with Li Mu, so he did not know how to comfort his son.
”It's all Xue'er's fault, it's all Xue'er's fault, otherwise brother you wouldn't have acted like this, you hit me and scolded me, wuu …” ”Wu, wu.”
Li Xue hugged Li Mu tightly, her originally cute face had already turned into a little kitten crying.
Seeing Li Xue's sad expression, Li Mu's heart softened and she patted Li Xue's back, ”Big brother, don't blame Xue'er. They came here for this matter, even if there was no Xue'er, they would still think of a way to poison me. Xue'er be good, don't cry!”
”Really? Is big brother really not blaming Xue'er? ” Li Xue stopped crying. She bit her lips, but the tears still flowed uncontrollably.
”Of course it's true! You're my most beloved little sister! Why would I blame you!”
A month's time quickly passed by, and during this time, the news regarding Li Mu had already spread throughout the entire city. For the original genius, he only had a year to live, but the majority of the people had sympathy for him. Only a small portion of the people were secretly rejoicing in their hearts, because Li Mu's talent was right there, so if he were to grow up, the entire Sunset Cloud City would change its surname to Li.
Compared to the matter with Li Mu, even more people were concerned about Li Yuncheng. The birth of an Innate Ranker in Muyun City was enough to change the structure of many powers.
However, there was very little news about Li Yuncheng, because after suppressing the poison in his body a month ago, Li Yuncheng, the Innate Ranker, suddenly disappeared. Even the people from the Li Clan did not know where he went.
Time would always wash away, and after a month, Li Mu's matter had slowly calmed down, and at that moment, in the garden of Li Residence's inner courtyard, Li Mu was lying down with his eyes closed.
After a month of recovery, Li Mu had already recovered his Essence, and he was still a warrior at the Elementary Realm. However, he was unable to use even the slightest bit of the Essence in his body, as it was completely sealed by Li Yuncheng. According to Li Yuncheng, once he used his Essence, the cold poison would immediately break out and kill him.
”Mu Er, what are you thinking about?”
Without a sound, Li Yuncheng's figure appeared beside Li Mu, immediately awakening the closed eyed Li Mu.
”Grandfather!” immediately stood up upon seeing the newcomer, and was very grateful to the grandfather who had saved his life, Li Mu. Although the other party had not truly been able to save his life, they had also delayed the onset of the poison, which was equivalent to giving him an extra year of lifespan.
What Li Mu did not expect was that Li Yuncheng, who had suddenly disappeared a month ago, would suddenly appear by his side.
”Regarding the poison, I've been looking for a few good friends of yours. It's a pity that there isn't any feasible way to cure you. It's all because of grandpa's incompetence!”
Li Yuncheng said while blaming himself, as he looked at Li Mu with eyes full of love.
”Grandpa is not to be blamed, grandpa has already done his best. These days, I have also thought it through. Life and death are in the sky, wealth and orders are with me. Since god won't let me live, then I will accept my fate.”
Li Mu laughed indifferently, for the past few days he had been treating life and death lightly, surviving for a year after being poisoned by the Netherworld Udumbara Flower, this was already a great gift to him, but he hated the person who poisoned him to the bone.
