Chapter 903: Auspicious
Translator: Lonelytree
âWhen you find him in the future, tell him that the Phoenix Blood isnât a disaster but an auspicious thing. Itâs an auspicious thing that can make people happy for the rest of their lives!â
Outside the door, I was petrified, as if I had been electrocuted.
The old woman coughed violently again.
âMom, please slow down. Stop talking.â The son patted the old womanâs back and advised her.
âItâs a pity that I donât have the chance to tell them.â The old woman sighed and let out a hoarse voice.
I knocked on the iron door lightly.
The surroundings suddenly stopped.
I reached out and knocked again.
âWho is it?â The son asked in a low voice.
I slowly emerged from the shadows and stood at the door with the help of the weak light. âOld Woman, do you know about the Phoenix Blood?â
The withered old ladyâs eyes seemed to glow. She struggled to get up from her sonâs embrace and crawled towards the door.
Her son hurriedly helped her up, but she pushed him away. She seemed to suddenly be filled with strength as she tried her best to crawl forward.
âMom, mom...â his son was extremely surprised.
I couldnât help but squat down. The old lady grabbed onto the iron railing and tried her best to open her eyes to look at me. âMiss Tong? Is that you? Miss Tong?â
Without a doubt, she mistook me for her mother, Tong Huan.
Without waiting for me to speak, the old woman couldnât wait to speak. âMiss Tong, donât torture that child anymore. The Phoenix Blood isnât an ominous image. Itâs a good omen. Itâs all those peopleâs malicious rumors. Theyâre just jealous of you and the Tong family. Thatâs why they made up the entire story and dragged the entire Tong family into it.
âIn order to marry their daughter to Mr. Nan and let their son marry you into the family, they did everything they could. Seeing that you two finally got married, they couldnât get any benefits. They just wanted to take over the Tong family. It was really unjustifiable in the underworld, so they did something to the Tong family. They didnât expect your daughter to have Phoenix Blood, so they became even more determined to kill her. The scum of the Tong family believed in them, believed in them ââ
âCough ââ the old lady spat out a mouthful of blood.
âMom, Mom ââ her son panicked and quickly hugged his mother.
I snapped out of my stupor and bit the index finger of my right hand, causing the blood to flow out.
I reached out and placed my finger on the old ladyâs lips, allowing the blood to drip into her slightly opened mouth due to breathing difficulties.
âWhat are you doing?â Her son exclaimed.
âDonât move!â I stopped him and tried to make my blood flow faster.
I stared at the old lady and prayed silently in my heart that the blood was useful.
My blood can heal Lin Nanâs wound. Can it also bring the old lady back to life? I donât know! I sadly realized that I didnât know much about my blood.
The old ladyâs breathing quickly calmed down. She tried to open her eyes again. After she saw my finger clearly, she grabbed my hand and pushed it out. âYouâre... Miss Xiao Tong? Youâre the Phoenix Bloodâs Miss Xiao Tong?â
Miss Xiao Tong. This name was rather new.
I nodded and said softly, âOld Lady, if Miss Tong youâre referring to is Tong Huan... Iâm her daughter. My name is Nanxing.â
The elder nodded with difficulty. âNanxing, yes, itâs Mr. Nan. Hmm, you look exactly like Miss Tong.â
She slowly pushed my hand away. âMiss Nan, Phoenix Blood is so precious. We canât waste it.â
I shook my head. âItâs only precious if I can save your life.â
I squeezed my finger again. This time, there was more blood. I pressed it into the elderâs mouth without any explanation. âElder, itâs an emergency. The sanitary conditions arenât good, and I donât know much about medicine. Please make do.â
