Chapter 618: Chapter 590: Saliva Cures Illness

Yu Yueying grew up in a single-parent family, with her being the only daughter at home.

She was raised solely by her mother since she was young, so Yu Yueying was especially attached to her mother.

Ever since her mother fell ill, Yu Yueying felt out of sorts, often becoming absent-minded even during work.

Moreover, her mother had been in a coma and had not woken up to this point, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to her.

After learning about the situation, Li Chen didn’t delay and accompanied Yu Yueying to the hospital immediately.

Since the hospital still couldn’t confirm what caused Yu Yueying’s mother to fall into a coma, she had been arranged to stay in the intensive care unit the whole time.

And in terms of her condition, it was very unstable, with no significant changes in her vital signs, except for a slight weakness. What worried the doctors most was the possibility of deterioration.

Upon arriving at the ward, under Yu Yueying’s lead, Li Chen walked straight in.

However, when he saw the woman lying in a coma on the hospital bed, he couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.

Contrary to Li Chen’s imagination, he had thought that Yu Yueying’s mother would be an aged woman, especially since she was a single parent who had raised Yu Yueying. He assumed she would appear older.

But the woman lying on the hospital bed was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"Are you sure, she’s your mother?" Li Chen looked at Yu Yueying with some doubt.

"Yeah, she’s my mom, my mom’s name is Liu Shasha," Yu Yueying said, "Is there a problem?"

Li Chen shook his head but didn’t say anything. If it wasn’t for hearing Yu Yueying confirm it herself, he might have mistaken the woman for her sister.

The woman on the bed, Liu Shasha, didn’t exhibit the usual aged appearance of older women but instead exuded a mature charm. Li Chen could tell that when she was young, she must have been quite beautiful.

If not for the few fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes betraying her age, probably no one would think she was a woman who had a daughter in her twenties.

"Alright, hurry up and take a look at my mom," Yu Yueying urged, seeing that Li Chen was unmoving, becoming a bit anxious.

Her mother had fallen into a mysterious coma and even the hospital was at a loss. She was extremely worried, and now that she had found Li Chen, it was a desperate attempt for help.

"Oh, right! Okay!"

Li Chen then came to his senses, stopped looking around, and moved to Liu Shasha’s side, placing one hand on her wrist to feel her pulse.

Li Chen knew a bit about traditional medicine, but taking the pulse could sometimes be error-prone. Although it looked like he was taking her pulse, his real method was the True Qi seeping out from his fingertips.

This wisp of True Qi, following Liu Shasha’s wrist, permeated into her body.

True Qi silently roamed through Liu Shasha’s body, and after a while, Li Chen slowly withdrew his hand.

Looking at Liu Shasha, Li Chen’s brow furrowed slightly.

"How is it, is there no way?"

Seeing Li Chen frown, Yu Yueying instantly grew anxious, her tears starting to form in her eyes. She only had this one mother, and if something happened to her, she wouldn’t know what to do.

"Hey, hey, hey! I said, don’t cry, okay?"

Seeing Yu Yueying about to cry, Li Chen also became somewhat panicked, "I didn’t say she couldn’t be saved, what are you rushing for?"

"What?"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Yu Yueying was taken aback and then let out a Roar.

Regaining her senses, Yu Yueying realized she was in the hospital and quickly covered her mouth, then whispered, "You mean, there’s hope for my mom?"

A faint smile formed on Li Chen’s lips, "It’s not just hope, it’s actually very simple."

"Very simple?" Yu Yueying was stunned again, then said angrily, "Then why don’t you hurry and wake my mom up?"

Seeing how Yu Yueying was behaving, Li Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

He was not at all upset, understanding that Yu Yueying’s urgency was due to her mother. He could comprehend her feelings.

"Don’t rush, first, I need a cup of water!" Li Chen said.

"A cup of water?" Yu Yueying was puzzled and then quickly said, "Hold on, I’ll go get you some water right away!"

After speaking, Yu Yueying dashed out of the ward.

Watching Yu Yueying’s hurried departure, Li Chen’s expression became serious.

Looking at Liu Shasha, Li Chen’s expression was somewhat strange.

His seriousness wasn’t because of Liu Shasha’s illness; it was because he sensed the aura of the Red Moon from her.

Li Chen had engaged with the Red Moon not just once or twice. He had also used the Red Moon’s power himself, so he was very familiar with its aura.

Liu Shasha wasn’t in a coma because of any illness; she had been infected by the energy of the Red Moon, which led to her current state.

"The water is here!"

Soon, Yu Yueying returned to the room and handed the water to Li Chen.

After handing the water over, Yu Yueying looked at Li Chen expectantly, seemingly waiting for him to work his magic.

However, Li Chen didn’t perform any grand gestures, instead just observed the water cup in his hand.

Well, quite sturdy.

Then.

"Ptooey!"

Li Chen spat into the bedcover.

"Here," Li Chen handed the water back to Yu Yueying.

"???"

Yu Yueying looked at Li Chen with a confused expression, a large question mark metaphorically popping above her head. She didn’t understand what Li Chen meant.

He had asked her to pour a cup of water, then spat into it, and gave the water back to her. What was the intention behind that?

"That water you gave your mom, and then she’ll get better," Li Chen said.

"What?!" Yu Yueying’s voice involuntarily rose by eight degrees.

"I assure you, really, just having your mom drink this cup of water will do it," Li Chen said confidently.

Yu Yueying, holding a cup of water, began to show various changes in her expression.

To be honest, she didn’t know whether or not to believe what Li Chen said.

If it had been anyone else saying this, she probably would have kicked them by now, but she knew what kind of person Li Chen was—he would never do something he wasn’t sure about.

But...

This was way too reckless, wasn’t it?

Could just drinking water really cure a disease?

Moreover, it seemed he had said it so casually...

Most importantly, it was her own mother and Li Chen’s saliva.

Wasn’t that like an indirect kiss with Li Chen?

At that thought, Yu Yueying’s face turned slightly red.

Yu Yueying’s mother was very beautiful. Countless men outside had their eyes on her mother.

She even suspected that Li Chen was one of them.

But Li Chen probably wasn’t that kind of person.

Yu Yueying couldn’t help but hesitate. On the one hand, there was her mother’s health issue, and on the other hand, she felt it was too chaotic.

"Alright!" After thinking it over for a long time, Yu Yueying finally made her decision with gritted teeth.

"If it doesn’t work, I’m going to kill you!" Yu Yueying looked at Li Chen with a fierce expression, as if gnashing her teeth.

"One minute," Li Chen said with a shrug.

In fact, Li Chen’s words were not without basis because he had discovered a principle.

When the Red Moon devoured other people’s blood, it seemed to be particularly fast, but when it devoured his blood, the process was much slower.

This accidental discovery made Li Chen realize that his blood seemed to be different from others’.

Lieu Shasha was merely contaminated by the breath of the Red Moon, not suffering from a severe problem. At the same time, Li Chen wanted to test whether his body was indeed different from others.

Even if this saliva couldn’t wake Lieu Shasha, he had other methods.

However, he didn’t want to reveal the uniqueness of his blood in front of Yu Yueying, which was why he used saliva instead.

In Li Chen’s view, after all, they were both bodily fluids, so the effects should be similar.

After feeding Lieu Shasha that cup of water, Yu Yueying stopped looking at Li Chen and stared at her mother, while her eyes were firmly fixed on her watch, as if she was... timing.

Li Chen watched this scene helplessly. Did this girl need to be so literal?

One minute later...

"Li Chen, I’m going to kill you!!"

Yu Yueying stood up and glared at Li Chen furiously, looking like an enraged little lion.

"Didn’t you say one minute? Why hasn’t my mom woken up yet?"

"I..." Before Li Chen could speak, he felt a gust of wind coming from in front of him.

Yu Yueying actually flew up and kicked directly at Li Chen.

"Oh no!"

Li Chen quickly stepped back, only to see Yu Yueying’s kick land directly on the iron stool beside the sick bed.

The stool instantly flew out and hit the corner of the wall with a loud clang.

Li Chen even thought he saw a slight bend in the leg of the stool...

"Is this woman serious?!" Li Chen’s brows lifted.

The next moment, he saw Yu Yueying pounce at him again.

"Whoosh—" Yu Yueying threw a punch at Li Chen.

Li Chen reached out and grabbed Yu Yueying’s hand before she could react. Then he reached out again and grabbed her other hand as well.

With a twist of his body, their positions changed, and Yu Yueying found herself backed into a corner by Li Chen.

"Are you crazy?" Li Chen exclaimed.

"You lied to me!" Yu Yueying, though restrained, still defiantly looked at Li Chen.

"Did you really take me at my word and count exactly one minute?" Li Chen said somewhat helplessly, "Isn’t there always some margin of error?"

Yu Yueying didn’t respond but opened her mouth to bite Li Chen.

"Oh come on, are you a dog or something?"

Li Chen quickly exerted pressure to push Yu Yueying firmly into the corner.

"You..." Yu Yueying also sensed something was amiss, but Li Chen had her completely immobilized, and she couldn’t move at all, her face flushed with anger as she glared at him.

"I didn’t do anything, just trying to calm you down," Li Chen said, but his body shamelessly moved in even closer.

Just then, a clear cough came from behind them.

Both turned their heads to look and saw that Lieu Shasha had woken up at just that moment. The three exchanged gazes, simultaneously frozen.
