Chapter 124 A Full Embrace
Chapter 124 A Full Embrace
One hour later—
Xia Mo stretched lazily, turned her head lazily, glanced at Brother Xia and Huangfu Qian in front of the bed, and then looked away.
She took a nap, which only allowed her consciousness to recover slightly. This amount of time was not enough to fully restore her consciousness, which had been overexerted this time, but it was enough to get her home and send a message.
Xia Mo used divine sense to tease Huangfu Qian, saying: "Why do I feel like you're deliberately chasing after me?"
Huangfu Qian, who was being teased, did not react at all, but stared at Xia Mo.
Xia Mo deliberately glanced at Huangfu Qian's ear.
Huangfu Qian's hands, hanging limply at his sides, shifted slightly. The panic in his heart was fleeting, but he quickly calmed down.
"Big brother, we can check out now," Xia Mo said, nimbly sitting up in bed. She just wanted to behave well so her brother wouldn't worry, but unexpectedly... a wave of dizziness hit her, and her body swayed.
Summer's End: "..."
Her current situation is partly due to overusing her spiritual power, which has depleted her physical strength; another reason is that her body is not strong enough, and she used the spiritual imprinting technique too early!
"Little sister!"
"Late summer!"
Brother Xia and Huangfu Qian instinctively rushed towards Xia Mo.
Xia Mo was dizzy, but her mind was clear. She saw Huangfu Qian rushing to her side at an even faster speed and knew that she was about to fall into Huangfu Qian's arms.
Well, she didn't struggle and let Huangfu Qian hug her tightly.
"Let go!" Brother Xia shouted nervously as he saw Xia Mo fall into the man's arms, afraid that if he raised his voice, it would attract other onlookers and affect his little sister's reputation.
Huangfu Qian calmly placed Xia Mo back on the bed, stepped back, and said with sharp lips, "Excuse me."
Brother Xia stared at Huangfu Qian.
The other party was King Jiang. Realizing something was wrong, he immediately said, "Excuse me." If he were to reprimand him further, it would be going too far.
"Little sister," Brother Xia asked with concern, "Where do you feel unwell?"
"No, it's just that I overused my abilities and am a little weak," Xia Mo explained, "Just rest more and eat some good food and you'll be fine."
“Hmm,” Brother Xia simply shielded Huangfu Qian behind him and supported Xia Mo.
“If we stay in the prefectural city, our parents will worry,” Brother Xia said, wanting to take Xia Mo to stay in Anning Prefectural City.
“We can go back now without staying in the city,” Xia Mo glanced at Huangfu Qian and said, “Do you want me to take you with me?”
Huangfu Qian shook his head and said, "The matter in Anping County has been resolved."
“Oh,” Xia Mo nodded.
Huangfu Qian hesitated for a moment and looked at Jiang Feng behind him.
Jiang Feng stood at the bend not far away, and Huangfu Qian was now in a field of vision that could be seen from both sides.
Jiang Feng was carrying a heavy wooden box. When he saw his master's expression, he immediately stepped forward with the box in his arms.
Huangfu Qian placed the wooden box on the small table beside the bed, opened it, and said, "This is the payment."
When Xia Mo saw the box of unpolished and uncarved top-quality jade, her eyes lit up.
"This... we haven't even done anything yet... it's not very appropriate to accept payment, is it?" Although Brother Xia didn't understand jade, he could tell from the color of the jade in the box that it was quite valuable.
Xia Mo said, "Brother, they dared to give it to us first because they feel we're in Anjia Village and our large family won't run away. They trust us. So, let's just accept the payment for now?"
As she continued, Xia Mo turned to look pitifully at her older brother Xia.
Brother Xia was somewhat speechless, not understanding why his younger sister valued jade so much.
Xia Mo beckoned to Brother Xia, signaling him to come closer, deliberately acting mysterious.
Brother Xia offered his ear.
Xia Mo whispered, "I need a lot of jade to cultivate my special arts, the better the quality."
Brother Xia's breathing quickened, and his chest heaved violently.
He understood. Huangfu Qian had known about his little sister's cultivation progress beforehand and had specially sent her an item that she couldn't refuse!
Brother Xia straightened up, not daring to look Huangfu Qian in the eye, feeling somewhat insecure. He asked, "What is the value of your box of jade?"
“Miss Xia is an extraordinary person, worth this price,” Huangfu Qian replied perfunctorily after receiving Xia Mo’s gaze.
Brother Xia swallowed hard. He estimated that this box must be worth several hundred taels of silver.
Brother Xia had already estimated the price to be very high, a price he rarely encountered, but in reality... he still underestimated it.
This box of jade is worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, but Brother Xia estimated in his mind that it was only a fraction of the value of this box of jade.
Suddenly, Brother Xia's eyes blazed with fury, and his gaze became incredibly determined. He wanted to make money, to make money like crazy!
"I'll accept the jade," Xia Mo said, gesturing with her hand as she put the box of jade into her soul space.
Then she said, "Let me give you a heads-up: Young Master Huang, in Anning Prefecture, the Lin family, a renowned family of physicians, has a son named Lin Chengzhi who is unusual."
Huangfu Qian frowned.
Based on the names revealed by Xia Mo so far, there are already four people.
In order to monitor these four people without being detected by the hacked live streaming system, he has already sent out more than a dozen hidden agents. If he sends out any more... he may not have enough manpower on hand and will have to use some hidden agents in key positions. However, it is not easy to plant those hidden agents!
“One of the reasons I am physically weak is that I used a divine imprint on him,” Xia Mo said with a smile.
“As long as my divine sense is imprinted on it, I will know no matter where it goes,” Xia Mo’s smile grew even sweeter.
She said, "What Lin Chengzhi wants to plunder is Lin Fengzhi's luck."
Speaking of this... she acted without any hesitation this time. Although she didn't succeed, she gained a deeper understanding of what the live streaming system was like.
I decided to use my divine sense to see where Lin Fengzhi was and what his situation was.
Divine sense is used over short distances, which is relatively economical. Condensing it into fine threads is less strenuous than spreading it out.
Xia Mo's divine sense only glanced at Lin Fengzhi before withdrawing.
She needs to be careful with her money now.

At the entrance of Jishi Medical Clinic —
When Lin Fengzhi caused trouble at the entrance of the clinic, he rushed outside the clinic, wanting to confront the wailing old woman, but he was too late. He just happened to see a group of onlookers rushing towards the clinic at the end of the street.
Lin Fengzhi was then carried back to the small courtyard behind the clinic.
Just as Xia was making his move against the live-streaming system in Lin Chengzhi's mind at the end of summer, Lin Fengzhi felt his life rapidly slipping away and collapsed unconscious.
The doctors in the clinic, worried about Lin Fengzhi's condition, gathered around his bedside and whispered about his health.
"Strange, Feng is only seventeen years old this year, how come his body is as weak as a seventy-year-old man?"
"Feng's body is still declining in function, and that's the outward manifestation of it!"
"The outward sign is that his hair is turning white very quickly!"
"If things continue like this, I'm afraid that in less than ten days..."
"Ugh……"
