My husband Can Cultivate

Chapter 575: Guiyuan Pill

"Mom, don’t cry. Don’t cry," Guo Yuxue said, her heart breaking as she held her daughter in her arms, tears streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks.

After a moment, Guo Yuxue hurriedly said to Tongtong, "Tongtong, this is Uncle Yang. He was a university classmate of your mom and dad. He’s a Divine Doctor, and he says he can cure your illness."

"Hello, Uncle Yang!" Tongtong looked at Yang Qi. Despite her serious illness, the child had an air of confidence and showed no sign of fear, which made Yang Qi feel even more distressed. How could such a wonderful child endure such pain? The world is too unfair.

"Tongtong is such a good girl! Uncle has something tasty for you here." Yang Qi smiled. He suddenly remembered that his Mountain and River Map contained many elixirs, including ones that restored vital energy. Tongtong’s illness could be cured by the Qifei Group’s newly developed medication, but her vital energy needed to be restored first. This Guiyuan Pill was the perfect thing to restore it, allowing the child to regain her strength in a short time without any side effects.

"Mom said not to take things from strangers," Tongtong said, shaking her head.

"Don’t be silly. Uncle Yang isn’t a stranger. He’s not only here to help you, but also to bring Daddy back. You’ll see Daddy very soon," Guo Yuxue said with a smile.

Regardless of whether Yang Qi was telling the truth, Guo Yuxue simply wanted her child to be happy. She knew her daughter’s days were numbered.

"Really?" Tongtong was thrilled. She knew she was going to heaven but only wanted to see her father before she went. "Can I really see Daddy?"

"Uncle promises you, I’ll bring your dad to see you tomorrow," Yang Qi said with a smile.

"That’s great!" Tongtong took the Guiyuan Pill and swallowed it.

"Ugh, it’s so bitter!" Tongtong exclaimed, sticking out her tongue. "Uncle Yang, what did you give me? It’s so bitter!"

"It’s medicine that will make you better," Yang Qi chuckled. "You might feel sleepy soon. Just take a nap, and you’ll be fine when you wake up."

Sure enough, Tongtong began to yawn and soon fell asleep.

Yang Qi turned to Guo Yuxue and said, "First thing tomorrow morning, let’s get the child’s discharge papers. I’ll take you both to the Qifei Group’s company hospital. Our company’s new drug for treating leukemia and two other common cancers has just been released for sale. I will provide Tongtong with the best treatment available. She will definitely get better."

"Is it really true? I thought you were just comforting me. I never expected it to be real," Guo Yuxue said, completely stunned. She could hardly believe any of this was actually happening.

"Why would I lie to you? That Guiyuan Pill restores her vital energy, making her more energetic and better suited for treatment," Yang Qi said with a laugh. "Don’t worry, everything will be alright. Stay in the hospital tonight and don’t go anywhere. I’ll have someone pick you up tomorrow. I’m going to see Brother Tao now and figure out how to get him out."

"Don’t do anything foolish!" Guo Yuxue said, worried.

"Relax, I know what I’m doing," Yang Qi smiled, then turned and left.

「North Mountain Prison.」

As Yang Qi’s car pulled to a stop, a guard at the gate asked cautiously, "Who is it?"

"Yang Qi," he stated flatly.

"What! Mr. Yang!" The North Mountain Prison was under the jurisdiction of the Jingnan Royal Mansion, so the guards were taken aback by his name. They wondered what this big shot was doing here so late at night.

"Find someone for me. His name is Lin Tao," Yang Qi said, getting straight to the point.

"Yes! Please, come inside and have a seat. The environment here isn’t the best, so please excuse the state of it." The guard hurriedly ushered Yang Qi inside, sending for Lin Tao while also calling the King of Jingnan to report the situation.

The King of Jingnan, who was in the middle of his cultivation at White Mountain Estate, was quite displeased to be disturbed. "Idiot! Why are you calling me?" he snapped. "Mr. Yang is our real boss. Get that straight! Whatever he wants, you just do it. Don’t bother me."

Only then did the warden of North Mountain Prison understand. The sky over Thunder City had changed. The King of Jingnan had truly submitted to the Star Shining Society.

As Yang Qi was sipping his tea, Lin Tao was brought out, his handcuffs and leg irons already removed.

"Brother Tao, still recognize me?" Yang Qi said with a smile, standing up.

"Little Qi! You! What are you doing here?" Lin Tao was utterly shocked. "This is no place for you. It’s bad luck."

"Brother Tao, you’re not much of a friend. You went to jail and didn’t even tell me. I only found out from Sister Xue," Yang Qi said. "Do you have any idea how much she has suffered on the outside, for you and for your child? Those bastards came looking for trouble again tonight. It’s a good thing I was there, otherwise the consequences would have been unthinkable."

"I’ll slaughter them!" Lin Tao roared furiously.

"You don’t have to lift a finger. I’ve already taken care of them for you," Yang Qi said. "For now, you’re leaving with me. Go take a good bath and get cleaned up. Tomorrow, we’ll go to the hospital to get Tongtong and move her to the Qifei Group’s company hospital."

Lin Tao’s mouth fell open. He didn’t recognize Yang Qi anymore. This person was completely different from the Yang Qi he once knew. The change in his personality was just too great.

"Don’t be surprised. I’ve been through a few things myself, that’s all. It’s made me more realistic, more mature," Yang Qi explained. "The man in charge of North Mountain Prison is a friend of mine. You just need to complete a few formalities."

"Mr. Yang, we have a shower facility right here. We can let Mr. Lin clean up, and we’ll go buy him new clothes," suggested the warden.

"That won’t be necessary. Just go about your business," Yang Qi said. He paused, his gaze fixing on the warden. "In the last three years, has anyone bullied Brother Tao? Be honest. I won’t blame you for what’s past, but if you lie to me now, you know the consequences."

"Actually... yes," the warden said with a bitter smile. "There was someone, bribed by a man named Blockhead Kong. He beat Mr. Lin every single day. There was nothing we could do."

"Bring him here," Yang Qi said with a cold laugh.

"Yes, sir! Go get him!" the warden said, gesturing hurriedly to his men.

Soon, a burly prisoner was brought over.

"Heh heh, Lin Tao. To think someone actually came to see a piece of trash like you." The brute, still mocking Lin Tao, was completely unaware of the destiny that was about to befall him.

"Are you the one who has been bullying Brother Tao for the past three years?" Yang Qi asked calmly.

"So what if I am? What are you gonna do about it?" the brute shot back arrogantly.

Yang Qi smiled, then suddenly threw a punch.

A ball of fierce fire enveloped the brute. He screamed in agony as, right before Lin Tao’s eyes, he was incinerated into a pile of ash.

"Alright, let’s go," Yang Qi said.

Lin Tao remained in a daze. He was silent as they left the prison and got into the car, still completely stunned.

Yang Qi didn’t disturb him. Instead, he took him to White Mountain Estate. There, Lin Tao showered and changed into new clothes. A new life was about to begin.

"Little Qi... no, Mr. Yang... what exactly is it that you do?" Lin Tao finally spoke.
