Jiang Xue weakly leaned against Chunyu, "I never expected to have a reaction, didn’t expect it to come out, it’s deadly!"

Shui Yuntian sat beside Jiang Xue, tapping his fingers occasionally on the table, observing her while contemplating her condition, his expression unusually serious, making Shui Yixuan realize perhaps this illness is somewhat complicated.

Even though Jiang Xue knew the direction of the original storyline, she couldn’t reveal it at this moment and could only leave the speaking rights to the Shui Family.

Shui Yuntian pondered over a series of reactions from Jiang Xue, seemingly recalling similar conditions he had encountered many years ago, but that person’s situation appeared much more serious than Jiang Xue’s, that scene was simply a true battle between life and death.

In contrast, apart from vomiting blood, everything with Jiang Xue was still within controllable limits, and no internal injuries were found.

He could detect that she was afflicted by a poisonous insect, but couldn’t determine precisely which type it was.

Casually glancing down, the pool of blood at his feet caught his attention, Shui Yuntian squatted down, gently dabbed a bit of blood, rubbed it in his hand, checked the viscosity and coagulation of the blood, then brought it to his nose to sniff, a faint smell filled his nostrils, this time, Shui Yuntian was taken aback.

Even shocked, initially thinking it was a similar condition, he didn’t expect it to truly confirm his thoughts.

Then, perhaps there wasn’t much issue with Jiang Xue’s illness.

As he thought of this, his furrowed brows finally relaxed, and he immediately stood up and instructed Xia He.

"Go pour Miss Jiang a cup of warm water, remember to add some salt."

The old man’s reaction intrigued Shui Yixuan: "How is it? What kind of poisonous insect is this?"

Shui Yuntian remained silent, gesturing him to sit down, then poured himself a cup of tea, leisurely savoring it, completely ignoring his presence.

Watching the old man’s demeanor, Shui Yixuan seemed to realize something, "Doesn’t seem very serious?"

Shui Yuntian shook his head, playing coy, "No, it’s serious. If I say it’s not serious, it isn’t an ordinary poisonous insect either."

"When did you become so verbose, just what kind of poisonous insect is it?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? The person involved isn’t even anxious!"

The old man’s remark made Shui Yixuan uncomfortable, "I’m just curious what kind of poisonous insect can be planted at birth, lie dormant for over a decade without reacting, only to suddenly erupt, and also... quite unusual?"

Shui Yuntian’s gaze lightly shifted to Jiang Xue who was still somewhat calm, "Little girl, you’re fine, don’t worry."

Facing Shui Yixuan’s suspicious look, Shui Yuntian sighed softly and spoke leisurely.

"The poisonous insect affecting the little girl is a Child Gu, really it’s fine, on the contrary, it has benefits for her, no harm."

Even knowing the answer, Jiang Xue couldn’t help but ask, "There are such peculiar poisonous insects in the world?"

"Yes, the poisonous insect she has is the Mother-child Poisonous Insect, the name of which is ’Heart Connection’; the only one who can plant the Child Gu is the biological mother. That is to say, the one who planted the Child Gu for Jiang Xue is her biological mother.

Before planting the Child Gu, her mother had already planted the Mother Poisonous Insect within herself. The Mother Poisonous Insect isn’t easy to rear, it must be nourished with the mother’s fresh blood for years, meticulously cultivated into a high-quality poisonous insect, then separated into a Child Gu. The Mother-child Poisonous Insect, separated from the mother, and the Child Gu can be planted into her child.

This type of poisonous insect isn’t as bloodthirsty as others; it’s called ’Heart Connection’ because of the so-called mother-daughter heart connection.

Whenever a child afflicted by a Child Gu faces danger, such as illness or injury, the Mother Poisonous Insect will sense it, and when the Mother Poisonous Insect senses it, the mother will know.

The Child Gu will numb the little girl’s body, relieving her of most or even all of the pain, depending on her mother’s willpower and endurance."

"Why does it depend on her mother’s endurance?" The soul-searching question from Shui Yixuan made Shui Yuntian sigh heavily.

"Because this pain that is dispelled will entirely be transferred to the mother, even multiplied tenfold, I have seen this pain, it is unprecedented madness, exhausting your heart and soul, as weak as a whisper."

Thinking about the woman he had seen, Shui Yuntian couldn’t help but shake his head, truly ’a parent’s heart is pitiful throughout the world!’

"What if the Mother Poisonous Insect is in danger?" Hearing such an explanation firsthand made Jiang Xue’s mood somewhat heavy.

"Don’t worry, if the Mother Poisonous Insect encounters illness, the Child Gu will sense it, just like your recent reaction, if the reaction occurs frequently, it indicates the Mother Poisonous Insect’s illness is severe; if it happens only this once, it indicates the Mother Poisonous Insect is out of crisis. But if it occurs regularly, once a month after a continuous five-year dormant period, the Child Gu will automatically disappear."
