Romantic Medical Immortal-Chapter 360: An Abnormally Large Appetite

"Mom, it’s not your fault. I’m Xiao Xiao’s sister; I can’t just stand by and watch her die from her illness."

Yang Rou hurriedly comforted her, while Ni Qingyao was moved to tears.

Yang Xiao, listening nearby, felt a twinge of sadness. It was she who had burdened her mother and sister, especially feeling guilty towards her sister, who had to marry Kong Lingwen to gather money for her treatment.

"Sis, you should divorce Kong Lingwen right now. Our family doesn’t need her money anymore."

Yang Xiao suddenly spoke up, her tone extremely firm.

"Silly girl, you can’t just get a divorce like that; now is not the right time."

Yang Rou helplessly ruffled her hair.

"Why? Give me a reason."

Yang Xiao had a persistent attitude, determined to get to the bottom of it, and Ni Qingyao also looked over.

Yang Rou looked helpless, not knowing how to explain.

"Xiao Xiao, don’t ask anymore. Actually, Kong Lingwen has been quite good to your sister. This incident really isn’t her fault, it’s just a misunderstanding."

Yang Chen chimed in.

"Yeah, don’t worry about me. I’m really fine. We were supposed to have a reunion dinner tonight, so let’s stop talking about this and start eating."

Yang Rou quickly urged everyone to pick up their chopsticks.

Ni Qingyao calmed her emotions before continuing to eat.

Tonight, she and Yang Rou had prepared a huge spread, enough for ten people, yet as they ate, they found that the dishes were almost gone.

Ni Qingyao had already served herself four bowls of rice and was still eating non-stop.

The three had gotten used to Ni Qingyao’s large appetite, but one person eating the equivalent of eight servings was truly astonishing.

Ni Qingyao touched her round belly, sighing with satisfaction.

"Mom, are you really not full?"

Yang Rou asked worriedly.

"I’m not full! Even though I ate a lot now, I’ll digest it quickly. I need to have a night snack later."

Ni Qingyao stood up, her abdomen slightly protruding, looking like she was pregnant.

She wasn’t worried at all, especially since Yang Chen had checked her before and found her body to be perfectly fine. It was just that she consumed too many essences, which was why her appetite had grown, and most importantly, no matter how much she ate, she wouldn’t gain weight.

"Xiaochen, maybe you should check on mom one more time."

Yang Rou suggested.

"Sure."

Yang Chen nodded, reaching out to take Ni Qingyao’s wrist, beginning to check her pulse.

He secretly operated the "Dragon and Phoenix Dance Scripture," using True Qi to examine Ni Qingyao’s body.

As soon as the True Qi entered her body, Yang Chen’s brow slightly furrowed. Her stomach had become larger and stronger, but an overly large stomach would pressure other organs, which would definitely have some impact on the body.

"Your stomach is too large now; it will compress the internal organs. You still need to control your food intake."

Yang Chen said seriously.

Ni Qingyao’s eyebrows furrowed, looking somewhat pitiful as she said, "But I’m so hungry, even after eating all this, I still don’t feel satisfied."

"Mom, you can only eat this much, really can’t have more."

Yang Rou hurriedly persuaded, looking at Ni Qingyao’s belly, which seemed like it was five months pregnant, feeling quite scared.

Ni Qingyao nodded but felt a bit fretful inside. Her appetite was now so good that the first thing she thought about upon waking up was what to eat, eating from morning until night.

If she ate even a little less, she’d feel weak all over, dizzy, as if her body had been hollowed out.

...

Night drew deep.

Yang Chen returned to his room, lying on the bed, ready to rest when he heard a crunching noise.

He opened the door to find a light in the kitchen. Quietly walking over, he discovered Ni Qingyao sneaking snacks, with a bowl of instant noodles on the floor.

"It’s so late; why are you still eating?"

Yang Chen felt helpless, wanting to take the noodles away.

"Xiaochen! Don’t take it away, I’m so hungry. Please let me eat."

Ni Qingyao looked at him with pleading eyes, full of supplication.

Seeing her misty eyes, Yang Chen couldn’t bear to refuse, sighed, and said, "Finish the noodles and go to sleep, you really can’t eat anymore."

"I got it."

Ni Qingyao finished the chips and then quickly devoured the instant noodles.

She still felt not entirely satisfied, but Yang Chen kept watching her, so she quietly returned to her room to sleep.

Yang Chen slightly frowned, a bit puzzled. Many people had consumed his essence, but why was it only Ni Qingyao’s appetite that became unusually large?

He returned to his room to browse the "Tome of the Ghost Doctor," but couldn’t figure it out. Ni Qingyao’s condition didn’t match any symptoms in the book. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Thinking about it, Yang Chen drifted into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Yang Chen went straight to Chu Xiaoyu’s factory, intending to visit Ye Ling’Er and check on the recently produced face masks.

Upon arrival, he noticed that there were unusually many people at the factory today, including Kong Lingwen and Xiao Yuqi.

Everyone was gathered in Chu Xiaoyu’s office, and when they saw Yang Chen, they all stood up to greet him.

Yang Chen smiled, nodded, and sat on a chair, asking, "Why is everyone here today?"

"Recently, the factory produced a batch of face masks, and we plan to test their effectiveness. Also, there’s the issue of the new factory’s construction."

Chu Xiaoyu replied.

"What’s wrong with the new factory? Is someone causing trouble again?"

Yang Chen’s eyes darkened, thinking that it couldn’t be Kong Jingshan, as he wasn’t that idle. If someone had bought workers to make trouble at the construction site before, it must have been Murong Hai.

"No, not really, but I just feel uneasy. The new factory is about to complete, and I can’t shake the feeling that something will go wrong."

Chu Xiaoyu clutched her chest, worry unspeakable.

"Don’t worry; I’ll handle whatever happens. Besides, isn’t my brother-in-law here too?"

Yang Chen winked at Kong Lingwen with a mischievous smile.

Kong Lingwen felt he emphasized "brother-in-law" deliberately and couldn’t help but glare at him.

At that moment, Lu Kun entered with a woman, who was Sisi, an employee who had previously used face masks.

Compared to their last meeting, Sisi seemed transformed. After trying the face masks, her acne and scars had faded significantly, and now her skin was smooth and fair, like a peeled egg, flawless.

With better skin, she had gained a lot of confidence, and her aura changed as well.

"Mr. Yang, Factory Director Chu."

Sisi greeted them with a smile.

"After the face masks were produced, Sisi applied them every day, and now her skin is perfect."

Lu Kun remarked.

"To prove the masks’ effectiveness, I arranged for six more female workers to try the recently produced masks. They all saw great improvement, with their blemishes fading significantly. I didn’t bring them here, but I did take photos."
