Extraordinary Soldier King in the City
Chapter 406: Mu Family

Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Mu Family

From this, it was evident that Mu Dongcheng’s background was no ordinary affair, and even surpassed Wei Hai by quite a lot.

After entering the villa, Mu Dongcheng led the way for Chen Feng and another, with maids and servants continuously greeting Mu Dongcheng and Chen Feng along the path.

This peaked Chen Feng’s curiosity about Mu Dongcheng’s identity to the extreme.

Before coming, he had assumed Mu Dongcheng was similar to Wei Hai, at most a bit stronger.

But ever since stepping into the Mu Family’s villa, he realized that things were not as simple as he had thought.

Not to mention the opulence of the villa, the Mu Family had at least twenty maids and servants!

While the Wei Family only had two nannies, there was simply no comparison!

"Uncle Wei, just who exactly is your friend?"

Chen Feng turned to look at Wei Hai, who was walking alongside him, and asked with puzzlement.

"Xiaofeng, you can see he’s no ordinary person, right? To tell you the truth, my old friend’s status in Coastal is far higher than mine! Behind him stands the entire Mu Family!"

Wei Hai said, smiling.

"The Mu Family?"

Chen Feng paused, asking in confusion.

Having been in Coastal for only a short time and never having interacted with the local powers, he was naturally unfamiliar with the various forces.

"Yes, the Mu Family, one of the four major families in Coastal. Their power is astoundingly vast. It’s said that the Mu Family existed during the Qing Dynasty, and has continued to develop until now, a true century-old family."

"In Coastal, in politics and business, in both the legal and underworld scenes, the Mu Family’s influence is everywhere. Only the other three families among the four major families can truly compete with the Mu Family; other forces simply don’t qualify!"

Wei Hai nodded, smiling as he introduced the family to Chen Feng.

"I see!"

Chen Feng nodded thoughtfully, curious in his heart: He hadn’t expected Coastal to have its so-called four major families; he just wondered if the Mu Family or the Zhao Family in Beijing were stronger.

In this way, as the two chatted and followed behind Mu Dongcheng, they continued through the villa and then upstairs to the second floor, stopping in front of a room’s door.

Mu Dongcheng then paused, pushed open the door, and turned to look at Chen Feng with immense courtesy. "Divine Doctor Chen, my wife is inside."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng nodded and took a couple of steps forward.

As soon as he reached the room’s entrance, he was met with a strong scent of Chinese herbal medicine.

This made Chen Feng frown slightly, and then he looked inside the room.

On the large bed inside, a beautiful woman lay pale and weak in breath.

The beautiful woman was deep in sleep, and despite her sickly appearance, her innate beauty was not concealed.

This beautiful woman was Mu Dongcheng’s wife, Zhou Yuying!

Chen Feng glanced at Zhou Yuying, and his gaze was soon drawn to the nightstand beside the bed, or more precisely, to the items placed on the nightstand.

On top of the nightstand, there was still half a bowl of dark Chinese herbal medicine soup, the source of the rich medicinal smell filling the room.

"What is this?" Chen Feng pointed at the bowl of medicine, turned back to look at Mu Dongcheng, and asked with confusion.

"This is a prescription from an old traditional doctor in my family, said to prolong my wife’s life! However, every time my wife takes it, she falls into a deep sleep for a long time," explained Mu Dongcheng.

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng nodded thoughtfully.

In traditional Chinese medicine, there indeed are many such prescriptions.

But this type of prescription only offers temporary relief, not a cure. After drinking it, the patient falls into a deep sleep, which can delay the loss of vitality but has no effect on the illness itself. If not treated on time, the patient will still die eventually.

Chen Feng guessed that the old doctor from the Mu Family must have also been at a loss about Zhou Yuying’s illness, which is why he prescribed such a medicine, hoping to buy some time.

However, Chen Feng didn’t point this out because he knew that the old doctor meant well and did not intend any harm.

Chen Feng slightly shook his head and then shifted his attention away from the bowl of herbal medicine, refocusing on Zhou Yuying.

He prepared to examine Zhou Hui’s condition to see what illness Zhou Hui actually had!

So Chen Feng directly lifted his leg and walked into the room.

As for Wei Hai and Mu Dongcheng, they stayed at the room’s entrance, quietly watching and not daring to follow, for fear of disturbing Chen Feng.

After Chen Feng entered the room, he quickly walked over to the bed, intending to first take Zhou Yuying’s pulse.

However, as soon as Chen Feng approached Zhou Yuying, he felt something was amiss.

Because he found out that Zhou Yuying’s body was emitting a chillingly cold aura!

And it was that extremely ominous Yin Cold Energy!

As soon as Chen Feng got close, this cold energy directly assailed him.

Even though it was summertime, it involuntarily made him shiver as if he was in the depths of winter.

This made Chen Feng frown, quite puzzled.

Even if Zhou Min was severely ill, she was still alive; how could her body be emitting such Yin Cold Energy?

Chen Feng, as a King of Soldiers, had frequently dealt with dead bodies before.

He was well aware that this kind of Yin Cold Energy was generally only found on the deceased, and it was impossible for the living!

And now, the Yin Cold Energy on Zhou Yuying’s body was even stronger than that on a corpse—nearly matching what he had encountered in an ancient tomb with old corpses before!

What in the world was going on?

Chen Feng furrowed his brow, his mind whirring rapidly. At the same time, he completely activated his clairvoyant sight.

He planned to take a look at Zhou Yuying’s internal meridians, as well as if there was anything unusual with her internal organs.

However, as soon as Chen Feng’s clairvoyant sight was activated and before he had the chance to look inside Zhou Yuying’s body, he was immediately stunned.

Because upon the activation of his clairvoyant sight, he once again noticed something abnormal.

He saw that Zhou Yuying’s body was shrouded in a dense black mist, invisible to the naked eye of the average person.

If it weren’t for Chen Feng’s clairvoyant sight, he wouldn’t have been able to see these mists.

Looking at those mists, Chen Feng frowned again.

Because his first impression of these mists was that they were gloomy, cold, and dark, as if they came from Hell!

And the Yin Cold Energy he had sensed coming from Zhou Yuying’s body was being emitted by these black mists!

Without a doubt, the reason Zhou Yuying was so seriously ill could be related to these black mists surrounding her body!

It should be known, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes balance between Yin and Yang.

These black mists were extremely gloomy; even a physically strong man, if plagued by such sinister black mists every day, would eventually suffer from an excess of Yin and a decline of Yang, leading to an exhausted body over time.

Not to mention Zhou Yuying, a woman?

Women naturally have a greater tendency toward Yin Energy, and being entwined by such an extremely Yin substance, it would be strange if she didn’t get sick!
