Chapter 9 Precious Things
The warm morning sunlight spilled across the streets and alleys of Tiandou City.
After having breakfast, Huo Yuhao walked along the bustling street, heading towards the clinic.
He had already made an appointment with Jiang Nannan yesterday to visit Jiang's mother again today.
This also provides an opportunity to examine Jiang Nannan's mother again and check on her recovery.
These past few days, by selling grilled fish, after deducting the cost of charcoal, various seasonings, tables and chairs, and the small stall fee paid to the city guards, I've made a net profit of over fifty gold soul coins.
Including the gold soul coins he had accumulated before, he now had nearly 150 gold soul coins.
This amount of money is more than enough to purchase materials for some level-two soul tools.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's heart stirred slightly.
Perhaps after checking on Jiang's mother's health, it's time to find an opportunity to visit the Star Dou Great Forest.
He wanted to reunite with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, and most importantly, he wanted to see his teacher, Electrolux, again.
As Huo Yuhao pondered this, he continued walking and soon arrived at the ward where Jiang's mother was.
He knocked gently on the door and heard a faint sound coming from inside the room.
Then, a gentle and soft voice, with a touch of mature charm, came out.
"Please come in."
Huo Yuhao gently pushed open the door and went inside.
The room was brightly lit, the windows were open, and the morning breeze stirred the plain-colored curtains.
On the hospital bed, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure was wearing a light pink silk coat over a plain white inner lining.
She seemed to have just gotten up, leaning lazily against the headboard.
Unlike Jiang Nannan's wavy blonde hair, this woman had long, smooth hair that cascaded down like a golden waterfall, shimmering in the morning sunlight.
Perhaps because she had just woken up, there was a subtle blush on her face. Her golden eyes were fixed on Huo Yuhao as he walked in, and her gaze carried a unique charm of a mature woman.
Jiang Nannan was sitting on a chair by the bed, holding half a bowl of porridge in her hands, eating her breakfast in small bites.
When she saw Huo Yuhao come in, her eyes lit up. She quickly put down the rice bowl in her hand on the table next to her, got up and walked over to him with a genuine smile on her face.
"Yuhao, you're here! Please have a seat."
She warmly invited Huo Yuhao to sit down in another chair.
After Huo Yuhao sat down in the chair, he turned his gaze to the woman on the bed and began to speak:
"Hello, Auntie. I'm Huo Yuhao, a friend of Sister Nan Nan."
He noticed that Jiang's mother, who was in the room, seemed to blush more noticeably after seeing him, and her eyes also became slightly evasive.
Huo Yuhao suddenly felt uneasy and a little scared.
However, upon further reflection, Jiang's mother had been taking calming and soothing medicine for several days, so she should no longer be affected by the power of the Golden Dragon King's divine core.
Jiang Wanhua looked at the handsome, black-haired young man before her, her heart filled with surprise and gratitude.
Before this, she had repeatedly heard about Huo Yuhao from her daughter Jiang Nannan and knew that he was the one who healed her.
But now that I've actually met him in person, and seeing his face that's even more youthful than my own daughter's, I still find it hard to believe.
After all, his heart problem had been bothering him for many years, but it was solved by a boy who was even younger than his own daughter.
When Jiang Wanhua looked at the handsome young man in front of her, who had a shy and reserved demeanor, her heart seemed to be suddenly ignited.
A warm and familiar current flowed through her body, making her feel waves of excitement.
Jiang Wanhua felt an urge to hug Huo Yuhao tightly and to greedily inhale his captivating scent.
The sudden idea startled Jiang Wanhua herself.
She silently berated herself in her heart:
"Jiang Wanhua, Jiang Wanhua, what's wrong with you?"
She quickly composed herself and gave Huo Yuhao a gentle and warm smile.
"Yuhao, I've heard the gist of what Nannan told me. Thank you so much. I'm sorry to trouble you to come again and give Auntie another check-up."
Upon hearing Jiang Wanhua's words, Huo Yuhao quickly waved his hand.
"Auntie, you're too kind. Sister Nan is my friend, and I'm happy to be able to help her."
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's reply, Jiang Wanhua felt a faint sense of disappointment deep within her heart for some reason.
Is it just because of Nan Nan?
At that moment, Huo Yuhao smelled a very pleasant floral fragrance emanating from Jiang Wanhua.
I didn't smell this scent last time...
A hint of doubt flashed through Huo Yuhao's mind, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.
Instead, he carefully observed Jiang Wanhua's expression before a smile appeared on his face.
"Judging from your complexion, Auntie, you seem to have recovered quite well. But just to be on the safe side, please give me your hand so I can examine you more carefully."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanhua's face lit up with joy, and she quickly extended her hand.
Huo Yuhao composed himself, closed his eyes, and began to carefully examine Jiang Wanhua's physical condition.
Jiang Wanhua quietly watched Huo Yuhao's serious and focused expression.
Although the boy in front of her was still young, for some reason he gave her an indescribable sense of security, while also possessing a strange attraction.
The warm current inside his body surged more and more violently, as if it were about to break through some kind of restraint.
A moment later, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes.
He confirmed that Jiang Wanhua's body was fine, but the energy left from the last treatment was too abundant, and her ordinary body was somewhat unable to absorb it.
Simply put, it means that too much supplement was taken, and the body accumulated it without being absorbed in time.
As Huo Yuhao used his soul power to wrap up the excess blood and qi, he guided it back into his body.
But Jiang Wanhua's already slightly flushed cheeks became even more radiant.
The unique, slightly sweet body fragrance that Huo Yuhao had smelled earlier became even stronger.
A moment later, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and spoke gently:
"Alright, Auntie has fully recovered now and there won't be any more problems."
What he said wasn't entirely a lie, after all, he had already extracted all the excess energy and blood from her body.
There shouldn't be any major problems afterward...
I guess so?
"Oh, thank you very much, Yuhao. Mom, you should continue to get some rest."
As Jiang Nannan spoke, she naturally reached out, took Huo Yuhao's wrist, and quickly walked out of the room.
When Jiang Wanhua saw Huo Yuhao being pulled away by Jiang Nannan, she felt a strange sense of loss, as if she had lost something precious.
