Chapter 60 Treatment
Chapter 60 Treatment
Actually, when Le Zhi first saw Lei Xiu's condition, he vaguely guessed why they had come, so he did not hide it. "It seems that it is. Uncle Le Zhong of our clan was ill before, and I did cure him by accident. But I can't explain the specific principle behind it, so I can't guarantee that I can cure all cases of Shadow Disease. However, if you really have no other way, I would be happy to help."
Upon hearing Lezhi's first words, Raine's eyes immediately lit up with elation, but then Lezhi's uncertain words made him somewhat uneasy. Indeed, Lezhi was still just a novice; even if he could truly cure the Shadow Disease, Lezhi couldn't possibly understand the full workings of the process.
But now is not the time to worry about such things. A glimmer of hope is better than complete despair. Rein turned to look at Reshu, whose expression was hidden by the hood, and asked in a questioning tone, "Reshu..."
Another member of the Thunder Clan was also looking at Lei Xiu with a worried expression. Although he did not speak, his expression and behavior clearly showed that he agreed to let Le Zhi try. Now he was afraid that Lei Xiu himself had other ideas.
As it turned out, they had worried too much. In terms of adventurous spirit, Lei Xiu was definitely the best among them. It was just that his long period of recuperation had made him much more restrained. Deep down, Lei Xiu was still that unruly genius of the Thunder Clan.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lei Xiu uttered his first complete sentence since arriving here, "I want to give it a try, and I'll accept whatever the outcome may be."
Lei Xiu's deep, melodious voice sounded like it was played on a musical instrument, yet it possessed an even more ethereal quality, perfectly matching Yue Zhi's aesthetic sensibilities. Yue Zhi's heart skipped a beat again. She closed her eyes, inwardly berating herself for being so weak.
Suppressing the turmoil in her heart, Lezhi forced herself to remain calm and said, "Alright, since you all agree, then I have no problem either. I'm ready to take action at any time."
Hearing Lezhi's straightforward reply, Renn and his people exchanged joyful smiles, their excitement evident, but they remained very restrained and did not make any big moves.
Whether the Thunder Clan members were naturally reserved or had been instructed to be discreet, from the very beginning, Lezhi had a very good impression of them, or rather, of the sick Lei Xiu. Although Lezhi hadn't even seen Lei Xiu's face yet, his aura made her feel very close to him.
"Alright, since you've reached an agreement, we'll cooperate fully." Seeing that Lezhi and the Thunder Clan had reached a consensus, Lechu stepped in to take charge. "Lezhi, do you want to take action at your house, or should I find another place for you?"
That's a good question. Lezhi thought for a moment, "Hmm, it seems that Uncle Lezhong's side recovered very quickly before. If that's the case, it can be done here too. It won't take much trouble. If it doesn't work, we can just find another place."
Nodding, Le Chu didn't comment on Le Zhi's decision. Turning to look at Le Yun, without needing to speak, Le Yun immediately understood Le Chu's meaning, turned around, and went out of the house to stand guard at the door.
"Let's begin now!" Seeing Le Yun in place, Le Chu gestured to Le Zhi and Rein for clarification.
"it is good."
"I'm OK."
The Thunder Clan was more than happy to have Lei Xiu receive treatment immediately. As the clan leader, Lei En personally took off Lei Xiu's hood and cloak. Only when Lei En stepped aside and Le Zhi and Le Chu saw Lei Xiu's current appearance did they widen their eyes in disbelief.
Lei Xiu's Shadow Disease was far more severe than Le Zhong's; Le Zhi didn't even need to examine him, she could tell just by looking. Lei Xiu didn't have much exposed skin; more than half of his face alone was already invaded by eerie black markings. One could only imagine the extent of the damage his body had suffered beneath his clothes.
Le Zhi had witnessed Le Zhong's attack before. Just thinking that even a tough guy like Le Zhong would cry out in pain from the spreading shadows, it was unimaginable to outsiders how much pain Lei Xiu was enduring as his shadow disease spread to this extent.
But now, as Lezhi looked at Lei Xiu's left eye, which, though completely invaded by the shadows, still held a gentle gaze, just like his right eye, which was still radiating a mysterious purple light, Lezhi's heart pounded faster and faster. This man's character was more resilient than Lezhi had imagined. Although he had suffered greatly, he had never been defeated.
"...It's just as you see it. Lei Xiu has been enduring this alone for a long time. Le Zhi, thank you for your help." Seeing Le Zhi and Le Chu standing there in shock, Lei En was not surprised at all.
After sincerely asking Lezhi for help, Rein and his people tacitly made way for him, their eyes fixed on Lezhi with hopeful eyes, not wanting to miss anything.
Lezhi did not answer Rein's question. Excluding the fur ball, there were now five people in the room, and apart from himself, the other four people's attention was on Lezhi.
"Lezhi, Lei Xiu's situation is much more complicated than Le Zhong's. Don't push yourself too hard," Le Chu said to Lezhi with concern. After seeing Lei Xiu's condition, he couldn't help but feel worried as well.
Gently shaking his head to comfort Le Chu, Le Zhi stood up and slowly approached Lei Xiu. The fur ball on his head had been on guard ever since it first saw the Thunder Clan members. Now, seeing that Le Zhi was actually going to approach the two-legged beast that it felt was the most dangerous, the fur ball nervously flapped its wings on Le Zhi's head, trying to stop him.
"Fluffy ball, be good~"
Lezhi gently patted the fluffy ball's round body to soothe it. Knowing that the fluffy ball still had a deep psychological trauma from the shadow, she simply picked it up from her head and put it on the chair she had just been sitting on.
"Stay here and don't move. Move only when I tell you. If you behave, you'll get a reward." Lezhi pointed her finger between the two little eyes of the fur ball to attract its attention, and solemnly instructed it.
Seeing Lezhi's serious expression, Maoqiu knew it couldn't stop Lezhi, so it could only chirp twice in frustration and reluctantly agree to Lezhi's request.
After calming the furball down, Lezhi didn't hesitate any longer and went straight to Lei Xiu. Lei Xiu was very tall, something Lezhi had only noticed from afar before, but now that he was standing in front of him, even sitting down, Lei Xiu was still much taller than Lezhi, and his aura made Lezhi feel incredibly intimidated.
Pressing down on her increasingly rapid heartbeat, Lezhi took a deep breath to ease her somewhat tense emotions.
"It's okay, do whatever you want, I won't hurt you." Seemingly noticing Lezhi's nervousness, Lei Xiu spoke softly to comfort her.
"Ah."
Nodding, Lezhi reached out to unbutton Lei Xiu's clothes, intending to check the extent of the shadow's invasion of Lei Xiu's body. He put himself in the role of a doctor, naturally not feeling that his actions were abrupt, and thus the movement of unbuttoning Lei Xiu's clothes felt particularly natural.
However, the others were not so calm when they saw Lezhi's actions. Lechu was one thing, since it was her own child doing the action, but the two from the Thunder Clan were dumbfounded and almost lost their composure.
The Thunder Clan member, whose presence had always been subtle, silently turned to look at Renn, seemingly seeking his opinion. He noticed that besides surprise, Renn's face held a hint of other emotions. However, before he could offer any explanation, Renn quickly composed himself and returned to his expressionless state.
Since the clan leader had not taken any action, he, as a member of the clan, naturally followed suit.
An eerie silence filled the scene. Several elders of the tree spirit clan, who had entered their youth and held considerable power, watched as a young boy made advances at a legendary figure of the Thunder Clan, but none of them knew how to intervene and could only choose to observe and wait.
