Chapter 99 – My Son is the Main Villain (part 19)

Shui Yi Yi had a confident smile on her face. This was a sharp contrast to Yuan Wei Xiu’s frown. “Have you heard of the Black Jade Intermittent Ointment?” Shui Yi Yi asked the doctor.

“Black Jade Intermittent Ointment? Of course. I heard that it was supposed to be a miracle medicine for bone injuries. But, this Black Jade Intermittent Ointment has been lost for nearly a hundred years!” said the doctor as he stroked his beard.

Yuan Wei Xiu had a gloomy expression.

Shui Yi Yi felt a little guilty. In fact, she had heard of the Black Jade Intermittent Ointment from her father and stepmother’s gossip. She didn’t know that it had been lost for so many years. However, she couldn’t give up now! She quickly said, “The Black Jade Intermittent Ointment was originally the western region’s Jin Gang Gate’s secret. Although it has been lost for nearly a hundred years, it wasn’t lost without a trace. Master, for older brother Yi, no matter how difficult it is, we have to try!”

Yuan Wei Xiu nodded. “No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely find the Black Jade Intermittent Ointment.”

The doctor looked at Shui Yi Yi and then at Yuan Wei Xiu. “If you can find the Black Jade Intermittent Ointment, then I promise that I can heal the wounds of this young man!”

“Good! Yi Yi, take care of Yi’r. I’ll go and prepare. We will set off right away,” said Yuan Wei Xiu. Yi’r was injured and so he had to get a comfortable carriage to set off.

“Master, I think we should go back to Shen Shui Palace to ask my father for help. He is very knowledgeable. My stepmother is from the western region, so they must know something,” said Shui Yi Yi.

Yuan Wei Xiu nodded then looked at Shui Yi Yi. “You see who your true friends are when you go through tough times together! Yi’r chose right when he chose you!”

Shui Yi Yi bowed her head, feeling a little guilty. “Master, I brought some food. You should eat.”

Yuan Wei Xiu didn’t want to eat. “No, give Yi’r the food. I’ll go and prepare!” If they got started early, then there was more hope!

Yuan Wei Xiu hurried out after he finished speaking.

Shui Yi Yi carried the food box as she walked to Ou Yang Yi in the back room. He was separated by a curtain, but she stopped before it.

After hesitating for a long time, Shui Yi Yi fixed her mood and arranged her expression. Her face now had a bright smile. “Older brother Yi, are you hungry? I have prepared your favourite pearl meatballs1!”

Although Ou Yang Yi couldn’t move his limbs, he still had internal strength. He had heard all the conversations outside and he also knew that Shui Yi Yi had lingered at the door for a long time. He didn’t blame Yi Yi. Her reaction was normal.

“Yi Yi, go. I am already a useless person. I can’t hurt you. Go back and listen to your father. Don’t fight with your stepmother or the others,” Ou Yang Yi said softly as he looked away.

Shui Yi Yi was embarrassed. She felt regretful and choked up. “Stop talking, older brother Yi. I won’t go. Don’t worry. As long as we find the Black Jade Intermittent Ointment, you will go back to how you were before. Come, people are iron and rice is steel. You shouldn’t skip meals. I’ll feed you.”

Ou Yang Yi was eventually persuaded by Shui Yi Yi and ate the food she fed him.

Shui Yi Yi took great care of Ou Yang Yi in the following days.  Perhaps it was because she felt guilty about deciding to leave.

Yuan Wei Xiu saw this and nodded in his heart repeatedly. This was the so-called true love during adversity. Yi Yi was really sincere to Yi’r. She was much better than that girl, A-Qing.

Speaking of A-Qing, Yuan Wei Xiu suddenly remembered Yuan Lang. It had been half a month since they left the mountain and set off to find medicine in the western region. What happened to Yuan Lang? Did he manage to leave the Demon Sect safely?

Yuan Wei Xiu felt a little guilty, but when he looked back at the carriage, he hardened his heart. “Yi’r, Yi Yi, sit down. The road ahead is a bit bumpy.”

Right now, the most important thing was to heal Yi’r’s injury!

On the other side, Yuan Lang returned home, but nobody met him. Yuan Lang heard laughter in the backyard and walked over to see two chickens fighting. They were surrounded by a group of people who were watching and cheering.

Among them, the one who laughed the loudest was A-Qing. Next to her was his mother, who was smiling and leaning forward.

Li Su was laughing. She then saw Yuan Lang standing over there. She reached out and pushed the girl beside her. “Look who’s here.”

A-Qing turned her head. When she saw Yuan Lang, she jumped up happily and rushed over. She put her arms around Yuan Lang’s neck and her legs were around his waist as she hung onto him. “You really didn’t lie to me. You really came back!”

Yuan Lang held her waist helplessly, fearing that she would fall. He then saw Li Su smiling at him ambiguously. He felt a little helpless. Did his mother misunderstand something? He wanted to let go of A-Qing.

He looked down at the innocent and brilliant smile A-Qing was giving him. Yuan Lang hesitated again. To be honest, he didn’t ask much from his partner. In terms of appearance, he hadn’t seen someone who looked better than his mother. Even when compared to himself, there were very few people who could match him. With regards to family background, he didn’t like women who came from well-known and decent backgrounds. They reminded him of Yuan Wei Xiu.

His only request for his other half was simple. There was just one requirement, that his mother likes them.

It seemed that his mother was very satisfied with A-Qing and seemed to be a bit different with her. Was it just her? If he married her, had a few children, took good care of his parents, and made them happy, would his mother be happy?

Yuan Lang thought about this.

The two of them hugged for a while. Yuan Lang eventually said, “It’s time to get down. Everyone is watching you.” In fact, the servant ladies had already left when they saw Yuan Lang.”

A-Qing stayed there for a long time. She knew some of the rules of Zhong Yuan, so she knew that her behaviour wasn’t appropriate. She hopped down.

Li Su had already entered the house. Yuan Lang smiled and walked forward. When he saw A-Qing, he seemed a little at a loss. “Are you coming?”

A-Qing opened her eyes, smiled, and followed him.

The three of them sat down. Yuan Lang sat next to Li Su, and A-Qing was next to Yuan Lang.

Li Su smiled when she saw this. When she first saw A-Qing, A-Qing’s innocence made Li Su happy. This was the first girl to come here. Since Yuan Lang let her come, then she must be a little special to Yuan Lang.

After they talked, she learned that this lovely girl was called A-Qing. Li Su liked her even more. Should she regard A-Qing as Yuan Lang’s official match? Yuan Lang’s confidantes were all over the world. In the end of the original story, Yuan Lang was ruined and lost his martial arts. Only this A-Qing stayed with him until the end and died with him.

Because of this, Li Su treated A-Qing better.

A-Qing had not been jaded by the world yet. She had the attitude of, if you are good to me then I will be good to you. If you are very good to me, then I will absolutely be good to you. Therefore, within a few days, she had become close with Li Su.

This was the scene Yuan Lang saw when he came back.

“How are you? Are you injured? Was everything resolved?” Li Su asked with a smile.

Yuan Lang nodded. “Don’t worry. I’m not injured. Everything has been resolved, but…”

“Huh? Wasn’t everything solved? Was there something else?” Li Su was surprised.

“I heard that Ou Yang Yi’s arm and leg bones were crushed. He likely will not be able to recover,” Yuan Lang explained.

“Oh, so it was this. There is the Black Jade Intermittent Ointment!” When Li Su heard of this, she immediately remembered this medicine.

“It’s unfortunate that the Black Jade Intermittent Ointment has been lost for nearly a hundred years. Only the name of it was left in the books master left me. The formula for it is unknown,” said Yuan Lang. But, these were things Yuan Wei Xiu had to worry about, not him.

Li Su was also a little embarrassed. What about Ou Yang Yi? That kid was the same as Yuan Wei Xiu, a straight man of steel. How should she say it? He was a good boy!

“Mother, don’t worry. On my way back, I heard that they were already on their way to the western region to find the ointment. With Shen Shui Palace’s help, they should be fine,” encouraged Yuan Lang.

Li Su smiled. Shen Shui Palace… She didn’t think that Shui Yi Yi would continue to treat Ou Yang Yi like always after he became what he is now. Human nature was often tested. Wasn’t Yuan Lang a living example? Maybe there were people out there who loved Yuan Lang, like A-Qing. Perhaps they couldn’t show up for whatever reason, but they were all over the world. But, none of them would accompany him to death without hesitation. There was only A-Qing.

As for Shui Yi Yi, Li Su didn’t think she could compare to A-Qing.

“Mother, do you also think that Shui Yi Yi…” Yuan Lang asked with a smile.

“Forget it. Other people’s matters have nothing to do with us. Tomorrow, I’ll look through the medical information left by master to see if there is anything about the Black Jade Intermittent Ointment,” Li Su said with a smile.

Yuan Lang nodded and stopped talking about this topic.

A-Qing heard this and understood a little. She stood beside him and said, “I know that you Han people say that it is ‘give something additional splendour, provide help in someone’s hour of need’, right? Don’t worry. No matter what you become, I will always be by your side!” A-Qing said earnestly as she stared at Yuan Lang.

Yuan Lang was startled by A-Qing’s sudden words. But, he was moved a little after. If other girls told him this, then he wouldn’t have taken them seriously. But, if A-Qing said it, then he believed her.

“Okay!” Yuan Lang said. If you don’t leave, then I won’t give up. His world was as simple as that.

Li Su smiled at everything in front of her. Yes, most people in this world would do something to boost themselves when things were good, but there were few who would help someone in their hour of need.

What did Yuan Wei Xiu think at this time?

In fact, Yuan Wei Xiu had already felt the warmth and cold of the world. Since the last martial arts gathering ended in such a way, Yuan Wei Xiu was very famous across the lands. Before, he managed to meet people all over the place. Now, on the way to the western region, although there were still friends who would help him, he felt that it was different from before.

However, Yuan Wei Xiu knew. It was human nature. As long as he had a clear conscience, then it didn’t matter.
