"Oh my, what a dazzling Martial Soul, such a celestial aura, good… good…"
Even Jiang Mother, who was already on the brink of death, widened her eyes when Su Qingfeng's Martial Soul and the two celestial herbs appeared, as if her spirits had improved considerably.
If Su Qingfeng were to remove his mask at this moment, revealing his peerless face, it was unknown whether Jiang Mother would be so shocked that she would experience a sudden recovery and leap out of bed!
"Hehe, madam, rest assured, with us here, you won't die!"
Fragrant Silk Beauty hovered seven inches above Jiang Mother's head and spoke, startling her: "Flowers… can actually talk!!"
"Hmph hmph, what a fuss. There are many things on this continent that you ordinary people haven't seen before," Fragrant Silk Beauty said proudly.
Aromatic Silk Beauty said lightly, "Enough, Youyou, focus on treating her. Don't forget that your detoxification ability isn't very strong; we need to work together."
"Alright, don't panic. It's just the Mysterious Water Poison. It's considered incurable in their eyes, but for us, it's not a problem at all. It's not even as good as the tail of the Green Phosphorus Seven Wonders Flower guarding the Yin-Yang Eyes!"
As a bane to all poisons, Fragrant Silk Beauty, when absorbed or bonded with, possesses the ability to neutralize all toxins. This Mysterious Water Poison primarily manifests as a chilling, watery vapor that invades the body. It spreads through bodily fluids, reaching every part of the body and causing the organs to fail.
Jiang Nannan's mother had been suffering from this Mysterious Water Poison for several months, with her internal organs severely damaged and failing to a certain degree.
Fragrant Silk Beauty and Aromatic Silk Beauty spent a full two hours eliminating most of the toxins from Jiang Nannan's mother's body.
The Mysterious Water Poison was a dark, reddish-black color and seeped out from the surface of Jiang Nannan's mother's skin, quickly saturating the bedding.
During this time, Jiang Nannan's mother would occasionally groan, making Jiang Nannan tense up, nearly shredding her clothes in her worry.
As the light of Fragrant Silk Beauty and Aromatic Silk Beauty gradually dimmed, Jiang Nannan, without showing any disgust for the foul-smelling Mysterious Water Poison, went to hold her mother's hand, asking with concern, "Mom, how are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?"
Jiang Nannan's mother's body twitched, and she suddenly sat up in bed, looking at Jiang Nannan with surprise.
"Nannan, I feel so much lighter now. That feeling of being weighed down by death is gone. Have I recovered?"
"Nannan, did your boyfriend save me? Hahaha, this is truly a joyous occasion."
Jiang's mother let out a long sigh of relief, looking at Jiang Nannan and Su Qingfeng in disbelief. After seeking help from so many old physicians, the illness that couldn't be cured was resolved by Nannan's boyfriend in just two hours?
Jiang's mother got out of bed and took a couple of steps, but then felt a bit weak, so she sat down on a chair.
Su Qingfeng then took out two white leaves, which were placed in a jade container, and put them on the table. He said to Jiang's mother and Jiang Nannan:
"Auntie, although most of the poison in your body has been cleared, there is still some Mysterious Water Poison that has merged with your organs. So, although you're no longer in life-threatening danger, you're still very weak.
These are two petals that can improve your physique, Auntie, and purify the organs in your body. Although there are only two petals, you only need to pinch a little bit from one petal each time and brew it in hot water. If you keep doing this for one or two months, you will basically eliminate all the negative effects and restore you to your original state, and perhaps even better than before."
Plop—
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan's eyes turned red, and she knelt in front of Su Qingfeng: "Thank you for saving my mother. I have no way to repay you."
Su Qingfeng quickly helped Jiang Nannan up and said calmly, "Do we need to say these things between us?"
"Good, good, good, this is my good son-in-law. We're family from now on, so don't be so polite. I'll go wash up now. You both stay for dinner, and let you see Auntie's cooking skills," Jiang's mother said with a smile.
"I won't stay for dinner. I need to get back to the academy," Su Qingfeng said calmly.
"Oh… I see. It's okay, there will be other opportunities in the future. However, Auntie has a request. I wonder if you could satisfy my curiosity?"
Jiang's mother rubbed her hands together, looking at Su Qingfeng with curiosity.
Su Qingfeng nodded. "What is it? Please, go ahead."
"Well, it's like this. As the saying goes, even an ugly daughter-in-law must meet her in-laws. Since Nannan is in a relationship with you, I'm not saying I'm your real mother, but I'm practically your half-mother.
Could you let me see what you look like? Otherwise, if I saw you on the street, I wouldn't recognize you. It would be so embarrassing. I wouldn't even know what my son-in-law looks like. The neighbors would laugh their heads off, wouldn't they?"
"This…"
"Mom, what are you saying!" Even Jiang Nannan was flustered by her mother's words. She didn't want to trouble Su Qingfeng any further; she felt she already owed him too much. "Since Auntie wants to see, then let her. Auntie, are you ready?" Su Qingfeng's patience with ordinary people was surprisingly good.
"Sigh, it's just to see a face, get acquainted, that's all. There's nothing to prepare. We commoners aren't like you Soul Masters, we don't care so much about looks. As long as the personality is good, the character is good, that's what we like."
Jiang's mother's slightly weak face displayed a motherly smile.
Su Qingfeng also smiled, nodded, and then slowly took off his mask.
Slender fingers brushed over his exquisite features. The heavenly beauty hidden beneath the mask seemed to radiate a brilliant light within the small room.
A pair of deep, vast star-like eyes, a high-bridged nose, and a perfectly proportioned facial structure came into view.
The mother and daughter were silent for three seconds. Then, Jiang's mother, who had seemed weak just moments before, actually leaped up from her seat, at least a meter high!
Jiang's mother tightly grabbed Jiang Nannan's hand, her eyes almost popping out. She asked in a trembling voice:
"Nan… Nannan, is he really your boyfriend?! Really? This is my Jiang family's future son-in-law?! When will you get married? How about today?"
"Mom, what are you saying?"
Jiang Nannan was shocked by her mother. This didn't seem like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness! She was already pushing for marriage?!
"Such a handsome man, and so strong, with a good character too. If you don't seize the opportunity, aren't you afraid someone else will steal him away? Anyway, I've already decided on this son-in-law. I won't accept anyone else. Isn't this much better than that two-faced Xu Sanshi?!" Jiang's mother whispered in Jiang Nannan's ear.
"Oh, alright, Mom, stop it."
If she could marry him, wouldn't Jiang Nannan want to? She was just afraid that before the wedding even started, Sister Xiao Tao and the others would burn down her house.
"He still has things to do. I'll take him back first, and then I'll come back and take care of you later."
After saying this, Jiang Nannan pulled Su Qingfeng and walked towards the door, quickly exiting the house.
"Soul Masters are really busy; they're all people who do great things."
Jiang's mother also followed them to the door, waving at them.
"My boy! I've decided you're my son-in-law. Nannan can only marry you. I'll keep an eye on her for you. Come visit often, if you have the time. This will be your home too from now on!"
Jiang Nannan's face was flushed with embarrassment. What was her mother saying? Really!
"Holy Son, please excuse my mother. She's just a commoner, hasn't seen much of the world. Plus, Holy Son, you really are very charming, so my mother…" Jiang Nannan followed Su Qingfeng.
"It's alright. Now that your mother is healed, she can finally relax. Focus on your cultivation now. The Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament will begin soon. The Outer Court will likely form a second team to compete. I hope you can advance."
"Yes, I will work hard! Thank you so much for coming today, Holy Son."
Jiang Nannan paused, and then mustered her courage to say:
"I know the main reason the Holy Son came to help me today was because you felt you owed me. Actually, I don't feel that the Holy Son owes me anything. On the contrary, I feel like I'm the one who benefited. I understand, the Holy Son is so sought after, anyone who sees you will fall in love with you.
I was just lucky. At that moment, in that opportunity, I got to have the Holy Son's first time. That was my good fortune, and I'm very grateful! If I hadn't had that chance, I probably wouldn't have ever had the chance to express my feelings to you, and I would never have been able to be by your side. So, I'm already very content.
Holy Son, rest assured. From now on, I will take care of myself and strive to stay behind the Holy Son, without holding you back. Just being able to see the Holy Son's back is enough to make my life worthwhile. So, you don't need to worry about me anymore."
Jiang Nannan's eyes were filled with love and contentment, a gentle smile gracing her face, making her utterly charming.
What was Su Qingfeng's status? He was the Holy Son of the Sea God Pavilion. It was difficult for her to even see him in person. She knew even better that many, many people would like Su Qingfeng. Any woman who saw his face would inevitably fall in love with him.
Among those people, she wouldn't be the most beautiful, nor the most talented. In terms of background, she was just a commoner. On what basis could she alone possess Su Qingfeng?
She only hoped that in the future, she wouldn't hold Su Qingfeng back, that she could silently protect him from behind. That was her greatest wish.
