CHAPTER 720: CHAPTER 349: THE BIG ONE IS COMING

Taihua tilted her head back and downed the slightly bitter medicinal soup, wrinkling her nose in disdain. She put the bowl on the table, displeased, and said, "Are you sure you didn’t poison me, kid? What is this stuff anyway? Why is it so bitter? Is Shanghang Jian getting more foolish as he gets older? Go back and tell him to make the medicine again."

She leaned against the hospital bed, her right hand still connected to an IV drip, and the liquid in the medicine bag was actually golden.

Huai Yin peeled an apple for her and said with a glare, "Is this really the time for you to keep up that temper? Old Man Shang retired decades ago, and it took me personally going over to drag him here. It’s said that a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. If you keep this up, he might just bash his head against the wall in the little dark room."

"Rest assured, there’s nothing wrong with this medicine, Old Man Lin from Laojun Mountain personally tested it."

He smiled and said, "Once Jing Ci finishes his tasks tonight, he’ll make another trip to Norway to bring Judith here to check on you. But first, you have to tell me who actually hurt you."

The severe injury and hospitalization of the President of the Ether Association might be concealed for a moment, but not forever.

The world powers are bound to find out sooner or later.

Because this is not just her personal matter, nor merely an internal affair of the Ether Association.

It concerns the whole world.

A cultivator of Taihua’s stature, every action she takes has an enormous impact on the entire Human World.

There’s a saying that when the heavens fall, the tall ones hold them up.

Without a doubt, Taihua’s great achievements have already reached the heavens, shining through the ages.

If she dies, then world powers may have to figure out how to deal with the apocalypse.

This world is sometimes just so unreasonable.

Some people want the President dead.

Others want someone like the President to live forever.

Everyone has their own stance.

But since the first battle at the Gate of the Qilin Immortal Palace, everything has changed.

——Heavenly Personification.

First appearing, it has already shocked the top tier of the Ascender pyramid.

Would the President still be stronger than the King of Qing?

That’s where the problem lies.

For such a powerful person, to actually be ambushed and heavily wounded.

And even the identity of the attacker is unknown.

The outside world certainly doesn’t want to believe such a thing; if someone could really severely injure the President without her even realizing, then they could almost effortlessly kill everyone in this world.

Few would survive.

Thus, the outside world is more inclined to believe that the President knows who the attacker is.

Just for some very secret reason, she doesn’t want to say.

This is why when the President was hospitalized, the entire Ascender world was in turmoil.

The strongest Alchemist, the strongest Priest, the strongest Divination Master, all coming out.

No matter how domineering Taihua is, no matter how reckless the King of Qing’s actions are, saving is still necessary.

"When the day comes that I die, you will all know."

Taihua stretched her hand out: "Apple."

Huai Yin sighed and reluctantly handed over the peeled apple.

It had been two hundred years since they played out this mother-son act.

"I have to admit, both Red and I misjudged."

He lamented, "We initially thought that Heavenly Personification was impossible to achieve; no one through the ages could reach its core. It has nothing to do with innate ability, just like normal humans can’t breathe underwater. It’s a limitation between species. But surprisingly, you broke through that barrier."

Taihua sneered, "If I were mediocre, how could I be worthy of being your Master and Red’s?"

There’s a saying about raising children to secure your old age.

But in her case, it’s a load of nonsense.

The truth is, she must still be useful, holding vast treasures, so her children naturally remain filial.

The Heavenly Person Seed is her legacy, the most precious treasure in the world, without exception.

Huai Yin once wished for her death.

Now he obediently comes to keep her company.

"Let’s not bring up the past, shall we?"

Huai Yin glared: "I’m here to keep you company, yet you still won’t smile at me?"

"You’ve aged so much; who would still see you as a kid?"

Taihua said indifferently, "Compared to you, your student is far more interesting."

Huai Yin thought of his student and laughed: "I certainly am not as likable as him. I just used half an Eternal Bone yesterday, and now I feel no pain anywhere left on me, even the trauma to my soul has been repaired. I don’t know how much longer I might live, but the long-standing hidden ailments over these years have all been cured."

Taihua snorted softly.

Thinking about how she managed to survive because of the Eternal Bone left by that child, she felt a bit uneasy.

It was mainly awkward and guilty.

"Master."

Huai Yin suddenly asked: "Do you plan to leave him a Heavenly Person Seed?"

Ha.

Taihua gazed at the misty clouds, her lips curling: "You guess?"

Huai Yin was lost for words; Master was deliberately teasing him.

Already a leader of the entire Human World, yet still with such a twisted sense of humor.

Probably due to the resentments from these years, a small revenge against him.

In the silence, Taixu’s soft and charming voice sounded, emotionless: "Detecting virtual thinking upload, positions No.1, Three. Confidentiality level SSS, simulate personality?"

Huai Yin’s eyes squinted in curiosity as he heard the voice of artificial intelligence.
