C276 Terminal Care

Entering the slums, Lau Yu felt that this should not even exist in the city. Compared to the bustling city, it felt out of place.

The houses were densely packed. They were all so old that they couldn't be broken. They were made out of rags and straw. There weren't even any doors, making it impossible for them to shelter from the wind and rain.

And in these houses, there were people living in every single one.

Seeing Lau Yu's luxurious clothes, it immediately attracted a lot of residents in the slums.

They were the same as the little girl. They were thin and yellow faced, and their eyes were lifeless. When they looked at Lau Yu, their eyes were also filled with fear.

Lau Yu shook his head. These people had been crushed by their own lives and were no different from walking dead.

The little girl didn't lament too much, and soon enough, she stopped outside a room.

Before he even got close, Lau Yu could smell a strong, pungent smell of medicine. This smell was completely different from the smell of medicine that Lau Yu had when he was cultivating Nine Revolutions Fiendgod Spell.

The little girl was very happy to be here, so she quickly ran inside the house.

Although it was called a house, it was actually not even a simple tent. There were countless holes on top of the house, as well as large holes on all four sides.

A sunny day was destined to be scorched by the sun all day long. With wind and rain, there was no way to avoid it.

Most likely, among all these worn-out rooms, this one would be one of the top few.

"Daddy, I'm back." The little girl excitedly walked up to the sickbed and threw herself into the embrace of the middle-aged man, whose entire body could be described as dirty and disorderly. Her face was filled with happiness.

When Lau Yu saw the middle-aged man, he couldn't help but use his divine sense to observe him. When he saw the middle-aged man, Lau Yu's heart couldn't help but tremble.

This middle-aged man was already terminally ill. It could be said that even the deities of the Great Firmament would find it difficult to revive him.

The middle-aged man was a Martial Master. Logically, with his cultivation, he should have died under such circumstances. However, he had persisted up till now with just a single breath and a wave of conviction.

However, even though this was the case, Lau Yu could still feel that the middle-aged man wouldn't be able to hold on for long. Perhaps in the next moment, the middle-aged man might die.

As for the medicinal plants that the little girl had gone to buy, they were only supplements and some ordinary medicinal herbs. They weren't very useful at all. They were better than nothing, and could be considered as a kind of Legacy.

Lying on the bed, the seemingly immobile middle-aged man turned his head with difficulty and said with a smile, "Our Xuanxuan is back."

Then, he saw Lau Yu, who was standing to the side, and immediately felt uneasy. He asked, "Xuanxuan, who is this young master?"

"Oh, he's the big brother who helped me today. He helped me get the spirit stones, and even helped me drive away those hoodlums. Otherwise, I might never be able to see you again." At the end of her sentence, the little girl began to cry.

The middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief. Because he couldn't move his body, he could only express the gratitude in his heart through his expression and voice.

"Thank you, benefactor. You saved my poor daughter's life." The middle-aged man said with a grateful expression.

Shaking his head, Lau Yu said, "It's nothing. I just happened to know how to do it. I believe those who have a sense of justice in their hearts will take action."

"No way, brother is amazing. That Ximen Qing and his two bodyguards didn't even have the chance to resist before brother, and they were defeated by brother." The little girl said with admiration.

"What, Ximen Qing!" "Cough, cough, cough." The middle-aged man's body, which could not move at all, almost bounced up from the ground. His cough had also become more serious.

The middle-aged man had been living in this city since he was young, and it was also the last year or two. He had been beaten up to the point where he could no longer take care of himself, lying on his bed the entire time.

Naturally, he understood Ximen Qing very well. No one who offended him would have a good ending.

Knowing that the one they offended was Ximen Qing, the middle-aged man fell into silence. Then, he said in a serious tone, "Xuanxuan, since the medicinal ingredients have been returned, you should quickly go and make the medicine."

"Alright, Father." Xuanxuan nodded. She didn't notice anything amiss and quickly left, leaving Lau Yu alone.

"Benefactor, I hope that you can promise me one thing." Seeing Xuanxuan walking away, the middle-aged man said solemnly, as if he was afraid that Lau Yu would not agree.1

Lau Yu already had a guess and said: "Tell me about it. If I can do it, I definitely won't reject it."

"Benefactor's cultivation is very high, so I can see that my illness is already so serious that one of my feet has already entered the coffin door. It's because I can't stop worrying about my poor daughter that I can't take this lying down. Until now, when I meet benefactor, I hope that benefactor can take Xuanxuan in. Even if she is only a servant who pours tea, it's not a problem. I really can't bear to see her live so hard for me." The middle-aged man pleaded.

After Lau Yu heard this, he couldn't help but feel deep veneration for his father. This was the power of fatherly love. This power actually allowed an ordinary middle-aged man to live beyond the boundaries of life and death.

Knowing that his middle age wasn't much, Lau Yu naturally couldn't bear to let a little girl live her current life.

Lau Yu nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry. Since you gave Xuanxuan to me, I will take good care of her."

"This way, I am relieved. Also, benefactor, you should quickly bring Xuanxuan away from here. With Ximen Qing's father's style, he will not let this go easily." A reassured expression appeared on the middle-aged man's face. After persuading Lau Yu to leave, he quickly closed his eyes.

Lau Yu could feel that the middle-aged man's aura had completely disappeared. He could not help but let out a sigh. For the young man, this could be considered a relief.

"Daddy, the medicine is ready." Xuanxuan brought the black, pungent medicine bowl to the middle-aged man.

Unfortunately, the middle-aged man didn't open his eyes. Xuanxuan put down the medicine bowl and pushed the middle-aged man away. "Daddy, quickly get up and drink some medicine. This way, you'll be able to recover quickly."

Lau Yu patted Xuanxuan's shoulder and said, "Xuanxuan, your father has already left. Don't be too sad. Stay with me from now on."

"That's impossible! Daddy, you can't leave me alone! Daddy!" Xuanxuan's face was filled with disbelief as she crazily pushed the middle-aged man. Unfortunately, the middle-aged man didn't give her any response.

Finally, the little girl cried out and fell asleep beside the bed.

"Daddy, don't leave me. You'll definitely get better." The little girl with tears still in her eyes was talking in her sleep.

Knowing that the little girl was too tired, Lau Yu didn't disturb her. Instead, he sat down on the side and started cultivating.
