Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter

Chapter 661: Chapter 200: Xue Ning at Death’s Door, Identity Exposed

As soon as he entered the manor, he sensed something was amiss.

It was too quiet here.

After a brief moment of sensing, he heard some commotion coming from the inner courtyard.

He walked into the inner courtyard and saw Xiaozhao, Ping’an, Jing Shuixiang, Cui Huayin, Gu Yaojue, and others all gathered outside.

Shortly after, a doctor came out from a room in the inner courtyard. Gu Yaojue approached the doctor and spoke to him for a moment, then the doctor bowed and hurried away.

Gu Yaojue gently shook her head at Li Ping’an...

Li Ping’an immediately burst into tears, rushing towards the room, shouting, "Impossible! Impossible! My mother isn’t even sixty yet, we have so many people from Divine Wood Hall, and so many elixirs, why? Why can’t we even save an ordinary person?"

Gu Yaojue said, "Ping’an, we... we understand your feelings, please don’t get too agitated, Sister Xue needs to rest..."

"Rest... rest..." Li Ping’an retorted, "Where’s my father? Where did he go! At a time like this!! He hasn’t returned! What kind of a father is he?! If he were here... if he were here..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yaojue felt a surge of emotion, and she raised her hand abruptly, wanting to slap the younger one before her.

But seeing Li Ping’an’s tear-streaked face, she slowly lowered her hand.

A beautiful lady immediately stepped forward from behind Li Ping’an and said, "Elder Gu, don’t get angry, you know how Ping’an’s temperament is. He says anything when he’s anxious."

As everyone was talking, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from the courtyard direction. They turned slightly and saw the returning Li Yuan.

Li Yuan looked at Gu Yaojue and asked, "What happened?"

Gu Yaojue quickly ran over and said, "Master, a few days ago, Sister Xue was hanging clothes when she suddenly felt dizzy and fell... then, she seemed to not be doing well.

We’ve given her a lot of elixirs and called many doctors, but nothing has worked...

The one who just left was already the sixteenth doctor."

At this point, a lovely girl in a green dress ran out with a big boy from behind Gu Yaojue, pursed her lips, lowered her head, and said to Li Yuan, "I’m sorry, Father-in-law, Mother-in-law was washing clothes for Die’Er when she got hurt that day."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Ping’an angrily shouted from behind, "I told you to wash your own clothes, if not, let the maids outside wash them. Why did you have to get my mother to do it?"

Li Yuan recognized this lovely girl; she was a talent from the Liu Family of Divine Wood Hall, named Liu Liuxue, who seemed to have followed Li Ping’an around in the past, calling him "Brother Ping’an, Brother Ping’an."

Liu Liuxue wept, "I’m sorry, it’s just that Mother-in-law said she had nothing to do, and she was happy washing clothes for her grandchildren, so I let her... I..."

The boy beside her had his head lowered too, quiet as a mouse, not daring to say a word.

Li Yuan said, "Ping’an, don’t say anymore, and don’t blame your wife. No one could have predicted this... I’ll go in and see your mother first."

Li Ping’an clenched his fists, his eyes suddenly red with tears as he cried, "I’m just a useless fool! A big useless fool!"

Saying so, he turned and flew away.

Everyone: ...

Li Yuan couldn’t help but curse, "This brat has had it too easy."

All the setbacks in Li Ping’an’s life seemed to come from "the time he left Divine Wood Hall for that temporary training," and at other times... this kid hasn’t suffered much.

This temperament, just incredible.

Li Yuan glanced at Yaojue and said, "Go bring Ping’an back and tell him there’s a major issue, we must move immediately."

"Yes, Master." Gu Yaojue, understanding, flew off in pursuit.

As Li Yuan took a deep breath and was about to step into the room, Xiaozhao, quietly standing beside him, said softly, "Dad, mom is missing."

Li Yuan gently said, "She’s fine, but we need to move."

"Okay, Daddy." Xiaozhao remained obedient.

Li Yuan then looked up, climbed the steps, pushed open the door, and entered the room.

In the room, past the screen, he immediately saw her.

Xue Ning lay weakly on the bed, her eyes closed, her spirit seemingly drained, appearing exceptionally old.

She was only an ordinary person, yet she swayed among High Grade Martial Artists and powerful Evil Ghosts, her body inevitably affected by the "Yang Qi and Yin Qi that mortals should not endure."

And the matters she managed were weighty and light, which made her worry a lot, being cautious every day, treading on thin ice, fearing that one wrong step might drag Li Yuan down and bring disaster to the family.

By rights, the matters Xue Ning handled could easily have gone wrong, but... Li Yuan had never heard of any incidents.

Behind this seemingly ordinary and even unremarkable façade was hidden Xue Ning’s intelligence and efforts.

Moreover, the harshness of Cloud Mountain Path, the long journey, the acclimatization, and many other factors... even though Chenxi Manor was rich enough to provide various supplements, but... Xue Ning was often ill.

"I’m back, Sister Xue."

Li Yuan softly spoke, breaking the silence.

Then, he sat by the bed, holding her slightly plump hand.

Xue Ning slowly opened her eyes, her cracked lips moved, then she smiled and said, "I must look terrible..."

Li Yuan leaned over, holding the woman with gray hair in his arms, and said, "How could you be?"

In his eyes flashed that mysterious Divine Tomb...

Wherein the Yin Yang Fish’s Suspended Coffin Cave lay coffins placing the Divine Spirits, along with the odd reaction of the top-tier coffin.

He gently said, "Don’t worry, I’ll take you to where the Divine Spirits rest, and let you sleep there as well."

"But... I’m not a Divine Spirit."

"They’re merely old immortals."

"How come you’re like Ping’an?" Xue Ning chuckled softly.

Li Yuan said, "Relax."

Xue Ning, her face weak, hesitated, "Husband, perhaps... perhaps let’s forget it? I... I won’t sleep there."
