Chapter 903: Auspicious

Translator: Lonelytree

“When you find him in the future, tell him that the Phoenix Blood isn’t a disaster but an auspicious thing. It’s an auspicious thing that can make people happy for the rest of their lives!”

Outside the door, I was petrified, as if I had been electrocuted.

The old woman coughed violently again.

“Mom, please slow down. Stop talking.” The son patted the old woman’s back and advised her.

“It’s a pity that I don’t have the chance to tell them.” The old woman sighed and let out a hoarse voice.

I knocked on the iron door lightly.

The surroundings suddenly stopped.

I reached out and knocked again.

“Who is it?” The son asked in a low voice.

I slowly emerged from the shadows and stood at the door with the help of the weak light. “Old Woman, do you know about the Phoenix Blood?”

The withered old lady’s eyes seemed to glow. She struggled to get up from her son’s embrace and crawled towards the door.

Her son hurriedly helped her up, but she pushed him away. She seemed to suddenly be filled with strength as she tried her best to crawl forward.

“Mom, mom…” his son was extremely surprised.

I couldn’t help but squat down. The old lady grabbed onto the iron railing and tried her best to open her eyes to look at me. “Miss Tong? Is that you? Miss Tong?”

Without a doubt, she mistook me for her mother, Tong Huan.

Without waiting for me to speak, the old woman couldn’t wait to speak. “Miss Tong, don’t torture that child anymore. The Phoenix Blood isn’t an ominous image. It’s a good omen. It’s all those people’s malicious rumors. They’re just jealous of you and the Tong family. That’s why they made up the entire story and dragged the entire Tong family into it.

“In order to marry their daughter to Mr. Nan and let their son marry you into the family, they did everything they could. Seeing that you two finally got married, they couldn’t get any benefits. They just wanted to take over the Tong family. It was really unjustifiable in the underworld, so they did something to the Tong family. They didn’t expect your daughter to have Phoenix Blood, so they became even more determined to kill her. The scum of the Tong family believed in them, believed in them –”

“Cough –” the old lady spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Mom, Mom –” her son panicked and quickly hugged his mother.

I snapped out of my stupor and bit the index finger of my right hand, causing the blood to flow out.

I reached out and placed my finger on the old lady’s lips, allowing the blood to drip into her slightly opened mouth due to breathing difficulties.

“What are you doing?” Her son exclaimed.

“Don’t move!” I stopped him and tried to make my blood flow faster.

I stared at the old lady and prayed silently in my heart that the blood was useful.

My blood can heal Lin Nan’s wound. Can it also bring the old lady back to life? I don’t know! I sadly realized that I didn’t know much about my blood.

The old lady’s breathing quickly calmed down. She tried to open her eyes again. After she saw my finger clearly, she grabbed my hand and pushed it out. “You’re… Miss Xiao Tong? You’re the Phoenix Blood’s Miss Xiao Tong?”

Miss Xiao Tong. This name was rather new.

I nodded and said softly, “Old Lady, if Miss Tong you’re referring to is Tong Huan… I’m her daughter. My name is Nanxing.”

The elder nodded with difficulty. “Nanxing, yes, it’s Mr. Nan. Hmm, you look exactly like Miss Tong.”

She slowly pushed my hand away. “Miss Nan, Phoenix Blood is so precious. We can’t waste it.”

I shook my head. “It’s only precious if I can save your life.”

I squeezed my finger again. This time, there was more blood. I pressed it into the elder’s mouth without any explanation. “Elder, it’s an emergency. The sanitary conditions aren’t good, and I don’t know much about medicine. Please make do.”
