Chapter-10 Aunt in Trouble

"Hello aunt, what happened? " Zhao Feng knew that something serious must have happened for her to call him during work.

"Are you Mr. Feng?" Instead of his aunt's sweet voice, he heard a manly voice from the other side of the phone.

"Who are you?" There was a little threat in Feng's tone.

"Sir, we are calling from the Puhe hospital; Ms. Jia has been admitted to the emergency ward; are you her guardian?"

"Yes."

"Sir, we hope you will come to the hospital as soon as possible."

"I'm coming."

"Hubby, who was it?" She could see the frown on his face.

'Something bad must have happened on the phone.'

"Aunt is hospitalised at Puhe Hospital." The frown on his face deepened as he kept thinking about his aunt's condition.

"Hubby, don't worry, I'll call Changming; she'll take care of the aunty till we reach the hospital." She tried to reassure him, but he kept thinking about her aunt.

They both quickly left the dungeon vicinity, then took a taxi to Puhe Hospital.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to Aunty." She tried to comfort him.

"Hmm." Zhao Feng just nodded absentmindedly.

As they reached the hospital, Zhao Feng rushed into the hospital even before the driver stopped the car, leaving Meng Yue behind to take care of the mess.

"Where is patient Jia?" Zhao Feng hurriedly asked the receptionist.

"Are you Mr. Feng?" The receptionist was a man with brown hair and black eyes.

"Yes." Zhao Feng gave a simple answer.

"Please sign here." The receptionist forwarded a piece of paper with a pen to Feng.

He quickly signed the document," where is patient Jia?" This time, there was a little panic in his voice.

"Ms. Jia has been shifted to the private ward on floor nine, her room number is seven." He gave directions to her ward.

He quickly left the reception and rushed towards Jia's ward.

When he reached there, he could see Xia Changming waiting outside of the room.

"Changming, how is aunt?"

"The doctors are still checking on her."

He looked through the small opening in the door, and the doctors were scanning Jia's body with a machine.

After waiting for 10 more minutes, the doctors exited through the door.

"Doctor, how is my aunt's condition?" He approached the doctor and asked him directly.

"The patient's condition is the result of the overwork; there's a chance she might have a mana infection." The doctor gave a simple overview of her condition.

"But my aunt is already a player."

"We still don't know; we will have to run some tests on her to know more about her condition." The doctors were also confused by her condition.

"Can I visit the patient?" Zhao Feng asked.

"Yes." Then the doctor left his side and had a small chat with Changming, after which they excused themselves.

"Feng, you visit your aunt; I have some work to do." Changming had to leave her work in the middle, but now that her condition is stable, she can go back to finish.

"Thanks for the help."

"No problem. I'll suggest you also have a checkup." She looked at his clothes, which were covered with blood stains.

"I'll do that later." Saying those words, he entered the room, looking at his sleeping aunt. He gently held her hand, then sent his ki through her hand into her body. He was trying to look for signs of infection.

'That's weird.' As he moved closer to her stomach, he could feel the quantity of Ki releasing was abnormally large. Suddenly, his eyes widened in shock. The next second, his shock turned into complete anger.

"Who Dares!?" A sudden, invisible pressure fell on the room.

"Hmm!" Jia's body unconsciously shuddered.

"Sorry… Aunt " He immediately withdrew his pressure, then gently stroked her head, calming her body.

' Who dares to put a gu worm inside my lovely aunt? He had found a gu worm eating her dantian from the inside.

"Sorry, aunt!" He exposed her bare stomach. He could see multiple scars on her stomach. He gently stroked her scars, then took out his knife from his back pocket and made a tiny cut below her navel.

After that, he put his left hand on her stomach, sending his Ki into her dantian. Soon, a centipede-like creature crawled out of her stomach.

He quickly grabbed the centipede and crushed it with his hands.

< Inside a cave >

A old man was meditating, when he suddenly opened his blooded eyes,

"Someone dare destroy my Gu worm!" There was a little shock and anger in his voice.

''Kun!" He shouted into a talisman.

After a minute, a middle aged man came rushing into the cave.

Congratulations, master, on your successful cultivation." He bowed in front of the old man.

"Don't bother; I still need time. Someone has dared to break my gu worm. Find whoever broke it and bring them alive to me. Also bring the woman it was attached to. Take this, and you will be able to find the traces of the gu worm. My mana should be attached to whoever killed the gu worm, it'll also help with it."

Then the man closed his eyes, and following that, thousands of worms attached themselves to the man's body, covering every inch of him.

"Yes, master." The middle aged man bowed one last time before leaving.

Zhao Feng was gently stroking his aunt's face, and now his aunt's face was brighter than before.

Suddenly he stopped, feeling an unfamiliar mana inside his body. He destroyed the mana traces before it could enter his dantian.

'Let's see if you dare to harm my aunt again.' He wanted to destroy the traces of Gu worm from her aunt but didn't want to further damage her dantian.

"Hubby, here, drink this." Meng Yue entered the room. She handed him a bottle of another healing potion.

"Thanks Yue."

"Then call me wifey." She would feel butterflies in her stomach whenever he would call her 'wifey'. He quickly drank the liquid, after a minute or so, he was finally able to move his right hand again.

"Hubby, what was that worm from your aunt's stomach?" When she arrived at the hospital, she saw a worm crawling out of her stomach. She wanted to enter the room but waited for the perfect opportunity to do so.

"Those are called Gu worms. Some evil practitioners use these kinds of Gu worms to slowly eat the host's dantian, then they'll kill the worm and absorb the mana collected through them."

Oh my God!" She had goosebumps all over her body just thinking about a person suffering from it.

"What about Aunty Lin? Is she alright?" She was concerned about her, now that she knew more about Gu worm.

"Don't worry, I destroyed it before it could do any permanent damage."

"Thank god." She sighed in relief.

" But, hubby, how do you know so much about them?" Even she didn't know about the existence of gu worms until she saw one today.

"..."

" I-I read about them on... I read about them on the app."

Meng Yue was a little skeptical about his answer, but she still accepted it as the truth.

" Wifey? Can you sleep alone today?" asked Zhao Feng in a pleasant tone.

"There's enough room for two people to stay here?" She didn't want to be separated from him.

Sorry, Yue, not today."

"Sigh, I'll just book the next room." She already had a backup plan in case he rejected her.

"But, promise me you will have your dinner with me."

"That works."

After talking for a while, Zhao Feng left to take a shower, cleaning all the blood stains, and then had a checkup with the doctor, while Meng Yue ordered some dishes for their dinner. After waiting for an hour and talking about random things, their dinner arrived. They both ate happily, after finishing the dinner, Meng Yue left, leaving Zhao Feng alone with her aunt.

He allotted all his points and sat on the ward floor, then took out most of the mana stones from the backpack, spreading them all around him. After that, he closed his eyes and started cultivating.

" Feng?" He suddenly heard his aunt's voice.

To Be Continued…

" Hello aunt, what happened? "

"Are you Mr. Feng?" someone asked in a manly voice.

" Who are you? " There was a little threat in Feng's tone.

"Sir, we are calling from the Web Novel, sir we got the complaint that you haven't given your power stones."
