Upon hearing this, Yang Cheng’s expression changed. He hadn’t given Yang Xiao the essence for a while, and after the kidnapping, the shock worsened the illness suddenly.

Once cancer worsens, it’s uncontrollable and could take Yang Xiao’s life within days.

If he still can’t refine the Divine Essence Elixir, he’ll have to rely on essence and True Qi to keep Yang Xiao’s illness at bay.

Yang Cheng suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "Ms. Ruonan, did you get the ginseng whiskers when you returned to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect?"

He thought Cheng Ruonan must have forgotten, and he would have to go back for the ginseng whiskers himself.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Ruonan took out a small box from her bag and handed it to Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng quickly opened it, and a rich ginseng aroma greeted him, just a few strands of Thousand-Year Ginseng whiskers were as thick as fingers.

"When did you get them? I didn’t know!"

Yang Cheng looked puzzled, unable to recall when Cheng Ruonan went to fetch the ginseng whiskers.

"As soon as I entered the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, I got the ginseng whiskers first. I thought if I couldn’t make it out alive, you could escape with them."

Cheng Ruonan answered honestly, recalling yesterday’s scene, still somewhat frightened.

"How could you be so foolish?"

Yang Cheng was incredibly moved, gently cupping her cheeks, his eyes full of love.

The two gazed at each other deeply for a moment before Yang Cheng lowered his head to kiss her soft lips.

Just as they were lost in the kiss, the ward door was suddenly pushed open, and several doctors in white coats came in, accompanied by a few nurses.

Upon hearing the commotion, Cheng Ruonan looked up at the number of people entering, quickly pushing Yang Cheng away, her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment.

"Young man, when did you wake up?"

The leading doctor looked surprised, his eyes scanning Yang Cheng up and down.

Yesterday, he had resuscitated Yang Cheng, who had stable vital signs, but it was clear he had suffered severe injuries before.

Because the patient’s condition was special, he brought several doctors from other departments for rounds today.

Yang Cheng smiled a bit embarrassingly: "I just woke up this morning."

"Young man, you’re full of vigor, I understand, but your body is still too weak. Don’t rush; once you recover, you can do whatever you want."

The doctor advised earnestly, his gaze sweeping between the two of them.

Cheng Ruonan shyly lowered her head, but Yang Cheng, with a thicker skin, just nodded with a smile.

"Lie down on the bed first, I’ll do a simple check-up."

The doctor took out a stethoscope, checked his chest, and furrowed his brow.

Seeing his expression, Cheng Ruonan nervously asked, "Doctor, is there something wrong with his body?"

"It feels fine, but because of that, I find it strange!"

The doctor was even more surprised; yesterday’s examination results had shown he had significant internal bleeding, but because the tears weren’t too severe, they opted for conservative treatment.

Now he seemed lively, with no issues in the lungs, almost as if he’d recovered.

"I’ll do a detailed examination for you now; don’t rush to be discharged for now, I’ll see the results first."

The doctor said and personally took Yang Cheng for the examination.

Yang Cheng didn’t refuse, knowing without a check-up, the responsible doctor wouldn’t easily allow him to be discharged.

"Doctor, since the results won’t come out immediately, I’ll go see my sister. She’s also hospitalized here; I’ll be back soon."

Just as Yang Cheng finished speaking, the doctor frowned and said, "No, your condition isn’t clear yet, don’t move easily. If there’s significant internal bleeding, it could be life-threatening instantly."

Hearing this, Yang Cheng could only shake his head helplessly.

In reality, his coma wasn’t due to internal ruptures; as long as his True Qi circulated a few times, he could repair internal injuries.

In retrospect, he probably expended too much energy at once, causing his Dantian to deplete and enter a dormant state.

After sleeping well, he was fully rejuvenated.

After waiting for over two hours, the examination results came out, and several doctors gathered to examine them carefully, all falling silent.

A moment later, the leading doctor, surprised, spoke up: "How could this be? Even with an excellent constitution, organ damage requires time to heal; there’s no way it could be this fast."

"And you lost a lot of blood yesterday, yet all indicators are normal today. It’s just too strange."

Everyone was dumbfounded, unable to fathom how Yang Cheng had healed.

"Actually, I’m also a doctor. I pay attention to maintenance and have taken some medicine I made myself, so I’m better now."

Yang Cheng smiled slightly and asked, "Doctor, can I be discharged now?"

The doctors were stunned, even thinking there might be errors in the results, but after observing Yang Cheng for a while, it seemed he was indeed fine.

Originally, Yang Cheng wanted to visit Yang Xiao in the morning, but it was now noon.

Inside the ward at this time.

"Mom, have some food; you’ve neither eaten nor drunk from yesterday till now, your body will collapse at this rate."

Yang Rou frowned, handing a meal to Ni Qingyao.

Ni Qingyao took it but had no appetite, her gaze fixated on Yang Xiao.

At this moment, footsteps were heard from the door. She stiffly turned her head.

Seeing Yang Cheng standing there unharmed, Ni Qingyao burst into tears, choking out, "Xiaochen!"

Yang Cheng strode forward, embracing her, and softly said, "Don’t worry, I won’t let Xiao Xiao suffer."

"But the doctor said Xiao Xiao’s condition isn’t optimistic; chemotherapy is the only way to sustain her, yet she’s so young..."

Ni Qingyao sobbed uncontrollably, tears streaming like broken pearls.

After yesterday’s kidnapping and Yang Cheng and Yang Xiao’s coma, her emotions finally broke down.

Yang Rou had never seen her mom cry so helplessly, her nose tingling, wiping tears secretly.

Yang Cheng felt distressed too, his tone firm, "I promised to save Xiao Xiao. Treating lung cancer requires many precious medicines, and I’ve been seeking them. Now, just one last ingredient remains."

"Really? When will you find the last ingredient? I’m worried Xiao Xiao can’t hold on much longer."

Ni Qingyao looked up, her tearful eyes showing a glimmer of hope.

"Don’t worry about Xiao Xiao’s condition, I’ll use acupuncture to keep her alive until I find the medicine."

Yang Cheng’s words finally brought relief to Ni Qingyao and Yang Rou.

Yang Rou pressed her lips and asked, "So what now? Should Xiao Xiao stay in the hospital here or return to Peach Blossom County?"
