Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 277 — Condition Lan Nara
"But we haven't returned your favor, I'll serve you some food, stay here for a while..." Han Lilis said softly.
Compared to the others, Han Lilis was the only one who was not afraid of Zhou Yuan.
"I still have a need to do, Lilis, thanks for the offer."
Han Xiang who heard the talk of his daughter and Zhou Yuan felt unable to stay still, although he was still afraid of the young man, Han Xiang realized that his current settlement had been saved by Zhou Yuan.
When Zhou Yuan was about to fly Han Xian then spoke. "Broker, my daughter's words are correct, we haven't shown any gratitude, we'll host you here."
Zhou Yuan wanted to reject the offer but suddenly there were drops of water touching his face, the drops were not one time but very many. Heavy rain has fallen to the ground.
Zhou Yuan was unable to continue traveling with this kind of weather and he needed a place to shelter, Zhou Yuan who initially refused ended up idling Han Xiang's offer.
***
Han Xiang and Han Lilis brought Zhou Yuan to his residence, on his way, the beast-human races seemed unfamiliar with the existence of humans in their settlement.
"Please swordsmen understand, our race's relationship with the human race has never been good." Han Xiang realized the gazes of the inhabitants. "Over the last few years the human race has been hunting us down, I don't know why, but they seem to hate us more than usual."
Zhou Yuan nodded, he quite understood about the conflict between their race and his circles, although they looked at Zhou Yuan with fear but they did not hate him.
'I heard from the teacher that the Beast Man Race is actually a good race, maybe his words have a point now...' Zhou Yuan saw none of them looking at him with hostility. They are strangers to seeing themselves.
Zhou Yuan finally arrived at Han Xiang's house, the young man was entertained with some warm food.
Han Xiang went to his wife and told her what happened before as well as the guests who were in their house. Lan Nara could not believe that the thief had been destroyed by someone but she was sure that there was no reason for her husband to lie now.
Heavy rain was falling as Han Lilis served warm corn soup on Zhou Yuan's table. The girl was good at cooking.
"This is all I have, don't worry I'm very confident in my cooking skills." Han Lilis said confidently.
At the dinner table there are several food side dishes such as meat, soup, vegetables, and bowls containing rice. Han Lilis made all the dishes herself.
"It's more than enough, I can feel it, the smell is quite tempting." Zhou Yuan smiled, he could see that the cuisine of the girl was unusual.
Han Lilis was delighted when she saw Zhou Yuan so greedily eating his cooking to the point of exhaustion, while Zhou Yuan had to admit that the girl's cooking was so far above her.
"How can you cook so well?" Zhou Yuan asked in astonishment.
"Before Mom got sick I learned a lot about cooking from her... Mom gave me a lot of secret recipes so that simple dishes could turn into very delicious food..."
"Secret recipe?"
"Broker, my daughter's words are a little exaggerated, there's no secret recipe whatsoever, just the right seasoning with the right portions." Lan Nara appeared behind the bedroom door, assisted by Han Xiang.
"Why did you come out, you're still sick..." Han Lilis immediately approached her mother.
"I must thank the swordsman who saved our settlement, of course." Lan Nara smiled.
Zhou Yuan was surprised to see the condition of Mother Han Lilis, her face was quite beautiful but her body was so thin that she saw a bone bulge in her skin.
Lan Nara stepped with great difficulty aided by Han Xiang and Han Lilis to her left-right side, when near Zhou Yuan he then thanked the young man for saving his family and settlers from the thieves.
"It's all for me too, letting those bandits keep on living will endanger everyone." Zhou Yuan nodded slowly, waving his hand, saying that his help was nothing.
The rain still fell a few hours later until the sky slowly started to darken, Han Xiang requested that Zhou Yuan should sleep here.
Zhou Yuan had no reason to refuse so accepted the offer. After all he could not fly in the rain like this.
Zhou Yuan's inner energy was close to six thousand circles, he wanted to round the amount of his inner energy to that number.
At midnight, Zhou Yuan heard a loud coughing sound from across the room, Zhou Yuan's eyes opened, the cough coming from Lan Nara's room.
Zhou Yuan initially tried to ignore the cough but as time went on the coughs grew louder until he listened to Han Lilis and Han Xiang's hysterical voice seeing his mother's condition. Zhou Yuan finally came out of his room.
"Sorry swordsman, my cough must be interfering with your rest..." Lan Nara felt guilty seeing Zhou Yuan coming out of her room, she tried to hold back the cough as much as possible but her increasingly severe illness made her unable to do that.
Zhou Yuan did not immediately reply, he saw Lan Nara coughing out a lot of blood. Han Lilis beside him had even cried.
"Why is mom still sick... It's not like you'll recover after taking the medicine..." Han Lilis wiped her tears.
"Mom's just coughing, honey, tomorrow's gonna heal, too." Lan Nara stroked her daughter, forcing a smile.
"Mother lied! Obviously the mother's condition is getting worse." Han Lilis sobbing.
On the other hand Han Xiang simply turned his face away, not daring to look at his wife's condition. Zhou Yuan stared at Lan Nara's condition from foot to head.
"May I check on Mom's health?" Zhou Yuan finally spoke up. "Maybe I can help heal if I find out the illness."
Lan Nara and Han Xiang looked at each other, he already knew the great ability Zhou Yuan possessed but did not know to what extent his ability was.
Han Xiang immediately allowed, for some reason he felt there was hope of his wife's recovery.
Zhou Yuan examined Lan Nara's palm for a few seconds before finally shaking his head slowly.
"It's poison..."
"Poisons?" Lan Nara half in disbelief.
"Yes poison, in the mother's body there is a poison that has spread to all parts of the body, any medicinal plant will not be able to cure it as long as the poison has not been removed or neutralized."
"But who poisoned my wife, there are no bad people among us." Han Xiang was the most reacting.
The relationship of the Beast Human Race is very close compared to the relationship between humans who are always selfish, they consider their fellow races as one family.
"Not all poisons come from a person, most likely these toxins come from harmful fungi that are accidentally eaten..." Zhou Yuan explained.
"Can you cure him?" Han Lilis asked looking at Zhou Yuan, her eyes puffy. This was the most important question.
Zhou Yuan nodded, "I can remove the poison within his body but the process will be painful."
"It's okay, I can do it." Lan Nara answered immediately.
Zhou Yuan nodded, agreeing. If the poison was left only a matter of time Lan Nara's life would be lost. Zhou Yuan then placed his palm on the top of Lan Nara's head and then drained a deep energy throughout the woman's body.
The process of expelling the poison took five minutes, Lan Nara bit her lips as each of her cells felt intense pain before she finally vomited out quite a lot of black liquid.
Han Xiang immediately helped his wife who was drooping weakly after vomiting, despite the pale hue of his face but Lan Nara's condition had improved by now.
