Chapter 72: A Heavy Gift of Gratitude
The little fox seemed to realize her words were a bit unfair. Her face flushed red and she hurriedly added, “Or… or I’ll repay you in my next life!” After thinking for a moment, she quickly added, “I’ll repay you with lots and lots of chickens!”
“……”
Get lost—what the hell!
“Doctor Yun…”
“Alright, alright!” Yun Jiao interrupted before they could continue. If this went on, she’d turn from a physician into a chicken vendor. “Let’s set the chicken matter aside. And stop acting out some tragic soap opera in front of me. What I said was that we need to find something that can replace the inner core—I didn’t say you should give up your own core.” Honestly, could they not read between the lines?
“You mean… it can be replaced with something else?” Ji Chen’s eyes lit up, a glimmer of hope returning to his face.
“Yes.” Yun Jiao nodded. “As long as you can find a magical artifact or spiritual item with energy levels close to your sister’s—and, importantly, with the same spiritual attribute—it should be able to merge with her body.”
Ji Chen pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked resolute. “Father! Father will definitely have a way. Doctor Yun, please wait here—I’ll bring him right away.”
He darted off like a gust of wind. Within moments, two figures appeared again inside the room—the Demon King himself, whom Yun Jiao had briefly met earlier. He had changed out of his regal robes, now wearing a simple green outfit, his face full of paternal worry.
