Chapter 144 Visit The Dongfang House
"Big Brother!" Xing Bao'er shouted as she ran towards Chen Li when he arrived on the first floor, but she turned to Mayumi Keiko. "Are you my big brother's new wife, Big Sister?"
"Yes." Mayumi Keiko then carried Xing Bao'er. "You are such a cute little girl, Bao'er."
"Eh? How did you know my name, Big Sis?" Xing Bao'er asked as her eyes blinked repeatedly.
Mayumi Keiko rubbed her head. "Your big brother already told me about you and the other orphanage kids."
"Oh." Xing Bao'er then took Sun Xing'er from Chen Li's shoulder, causing her to sigh helplessly. "Big Brother, can we go for a walk today?"
Before Chen Li could answer her question, Lin Qingzhu had already spoken to her. "Bao'er, we'll go to the Dongfang House first to see Sister Wenxin first, and we'll take you to the amusement park afterward, okay?"
"Yay! Yes, Aunt Qingzhu!" Xing Bao'er exclaimed happily.
While having breakfast together, they talked about some light things, but Lin Qingzhu asked Mayumi Keiko most often, and she felt satisfied knowing her decision.
Yu Hua was also happy to know that Chen Li managed to get Mayumi Keiko as his woman, but she didn't expect that he could melt her heart so quickly.
However, Chen Meiyi and Feng Xian'er did not join them, for they chose to cultivate within the Tianyi Realm.
However, Akira kept glancing suspiciously at her young miss, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart seeing Mayumi Keiko closeness to Chen Li. 'Sigh, I don't know how my madam will react when she finds out that young miss has decided to be with him. Moreover, Saito would be furious if he finds out about their relationship, and he will send his underlings to this country to kill him. I'm sure he can trounce them, but it will cause a big commotion between the two countries.'

After they finished breakfast, Mayumi Keiko immediately took Akira back to the hotel, for she was still need to attend an important event, and she also asked Chen Li to drive her to the airport tonight.
However, just as they were about to go to the Dongfang House, Chen Wei'er suddenly said with an ugly look. "Sister Qingzhu, I can't come with you to visit Sister Wenxin."
"Hmm? What happened? Why is your expression like that?" Lin Qingzhu asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Xianglin collapsed, and her condition continues to decline." After saying that, Chen Wei'er immediately dashed away and shouted at her nephew. "Li'er! I'll be waiting for you at the hospital belonging to the superpower bureau! You must save my best friend!"

"Yanran, how is Xianglin's condition?" Chen Wei'er frantically asked after she arrived at her best friend's infirmary; she immediately sat beside her and held her hand.
Yan Yanran sighed heavily. "Xianglin's condition is critical, and I don't know if she will make it through the day. I've advised her many times, but she always found it hard to leave her job."
"I know, I've also tried to advise her many times, but she was too stubborn to listen to my advice." Chen Wei'er said as she rubbed Xiao Xianglin's hands and tried to channel her Qi into her body. Although her element is darkness, according to Xiao Huoli's words, her Qi can still help her maintain her life.
"We really need a miracle for Xianglin to recover, Wei'er. Even if she can stay alive, her brain is already partially dead, and she won't be able to wake up again." Yan Yanran said sadly, for Xiao Xianglin was one of her closest friends apart from Chen Wei'er, and they had been best friends for years.
Chen Wei'er then looked at the unconscious Xiao Xianglin. "Honestly, there is one person who can cure her, so-"
"Are you serious, Wei'er? If there really is someone who can cure Xianglin, you should bring the person here quickly." Yan Yanran impatiently interrupted Chen Wei'er.
Chen Wei'er shook her head. "Things aren't that easy, Yanran. Xianglin has already met the person, and he has offered to cure her with a condition, but she still hasn't made up her mind until now. However, she's unconscious now, so I don't know what to do for her."
"Why is that person so selfish? If he could save Xianglin, he should have saved her immediately, and he doesn't need to put any conditions on her!" Yan Yanran said in a high tone, full of anger.
Chen Wei'er sighed softly and answered her. "There's no free lunch in this world, remember? Moreover, you're a doctor yourself, but you can't cure Xianglin."
Hearing that, Yan Yanran fell silent, but her expression was still filled with rage. 'Who exactly is that person? Can he really heal Xianglin?'

Dongfang Family! A nameplate that looks worn out is plastered in front of an old house; even though it looks old, the house itself is quite large.
Unfortunately, the house looks unkempt, even from the gate to the main door, filled with tall weeds.
If people didn't know about the Dongfang family, they would think it was a haunted house.
They used to be a prosperous family, but everything changed one day. All their important people died simultaneously, and their companies collapsed one by one.
Those who were left had to flee from the city to save themselves, and there was only one Dongfang family left in this city now; they were Dongfang Wenxin and her twin daughters.
Fortunately, the Dongfang Twins are intelligent children, they kept? getting scholarships to continue their education, or they would have dropped out long ago, let alone gone to college.
However, as their family's condition continued declining, Dongfang Wenxin's physical and mental condition worsened. She collapsed a year ago and has been in a coma ever since.
After they waited in front of the door for a while, an old maidservant finally opened the door for them. "Oh? Qingzhu, it's been a while."
"Yes. What about Sister Wenxin's condition, Aunt Jiang?" Lin Qingzhu asked her.
Aunt Jiang has followed the Dongfang family since the time of Dongfang Wengxin's grandfather, and she has remained loyal to the family to this day, even though they are no longer the same as in the past.
"Wenxin's condition continues to deteriorate, and at this rate, she will eventually die, Qingzhu." Aunt Jiang replied with a heavy sigh as she led them toward Dongfang Wenxin's room.
Lin Qingzhu grabbed Aunt Jiang's hand and reassured her. "Don't worry, Aunt Jiang. I'm sure Wenxin will wake up again, and she will get better soon."
"Hmm?" Aunt Jiang turned to Lin Qingzhu in surprise. "I hope you're right, or Hanxue and Hanyue will be saddened by their mother's death. Moreover, they have no one left, which will be a heavy blow to them."
Chen Li observed every room they passed, and there were still several photos of the previous members of the Dongfang family on each wall.
However, Chen Li suddenly stopped walking when he saw some photos because he saw his childhood self in some of them. In one of the photos, he was standing in the middle of the Dongfang twins, and both were kissing him on the cheeks; behind them were Dongfang Wenxin and Lin Qingzhu.
Xiao Huoli suddenly teased him. [It seems you used to be very close to the twins, Chen Li. Just look at that photo; they look so fond of you.]
'En, I guess so.' Chen Li answered with a soft sigh. 'Sadly, I still can't remember about them, let alone our past memories.'
[Hmm? If you can look for some herbs, I might be able to concoct a pill that can help you recall your old memories faster.
Chen Li was surprised to hear that. 'Really? There is such a pill, Sister Huoli? In that case, give me the list of herbs asap; I want to recall all of my old memories soon.'
[Hey! Don't get your hopes up too high first. This planet is the mortal world, and the herbs don't necessarily exist in this world.]
'Well? I should at least try to find them first, right?' Chen Li replied as he observed several other photos.
"Big Brother! Is that little guy you? And who are the two big sisters?" Xing Bao'er suddenly asked him.
Chen Li nodded to her. "Yes, the little guy is me, and they are Dongfang Hanyue and Dongfang Hanxue."
"Oh." Xing Bao'er then said again. "They seem to really like you, Big Brother."
"En, you're right; they do like me." Chen Li replied as he carried Xing Bao'er toward Dongfang Wenxin's room.
When they arrived, Chen Li saw a middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful despite her condition. Unfortunately, her face looked haggard; even her body was skinny and lacked nutrition.
Xiao Huoli suddenly appeared in front of them and explained to them. "This woman is not sick at all, but she's under extreme mental stress and subconsciously confines her soul. That's why she can't wake up, and she will really die if she continues like this."
Chen Li and Lin Qingzhu turned to Xiao Huoli in surprise. "So what can we do?"
Since she wasn't a cultivator, Xing Bao'er couldn't see Xiao Huoli and felt confused by Chen Li and Lin Qingzhu's questions.
"This is too easy!" Xiao Huoli then took out a Rejuvenating Pill and put it in Dongfang Wenxin's mouth, and she used her Qi to dissolve the pill. "Chen Li, I will send you into her Soul Space, but you can only enter alone."
