From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

"How's it looking, any hope for me?"

Uncle Han looked at him with a confused expression and thought something serious might have happened to his body, so he asked.

"No cure."

Fang Ren said and then turned back to add a few herbs to the pill furnace.

"You little brat! If there's no cure, then why the hell are you still making pills?"

"Ever heard of a painless release?"

"I'm gonna beat you to death today, you little punk!"

Uncle Han slapped the top of Fang Ren's head several times, and after he let go, he said with disgust, "Damn it, my daughter can't be left a widow."

Done talking, Uncle Han didn't pay any more attention to Fang Ren. He just started making a fuss over the baby, acting even more affectionate than Fang Ren, who had just become a father.

Buzz—

Just as Fang Ren was focusing on alchemy, suddenly a white figure broke through his barrier and entered the room. Fang Ren quickly repaired the barrier. The visitor was clearly Mu Huanqing.

"Qing'er?"

When Uncle Han saw Mu Huanqing, who had suddenly appeared in the room, his hands stiffened as he held the baby. For some reason, at that moment, all he could think about was the time when he held Mu Huanqing as a baby.

Unfortunately, he had never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father to Mu Huanqing.

At this moment, Mu Huanqing looked pale and her aura was somewhat disordered. Seeing her like this, Uncle Han felt a surge of heartache. His daughter had just given birth and was already off chasing after Jiang Ling... And he, as a father, didn't even know his daughter was giving birth.

"Why are you here?"

Mu Huanqing glanced at Fang Ren, who was still busily engaged in alchemy, then at Uncle Han holding her child, and asked instinctively.

She had many questions she wanted to ask Fang Ren, but with Uncle Han there, she held back.

When Uncle Han heard Mu Huanqing's words, he felt a sense of helplessness. His daughter obviously wasn't very willing to accept him as her father; otherwise, she wouldn't talk to him like that when they first met.

"Qing'er, I just came to see Ran'er. Then Ran'er told me that you had just given birth..." Uncle Han wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face filled with guilt as he spoke, "I'm sorry, I didn't take care of you when you were small, and now I wasn't even able to protect you and Ah Ran during your childbirth..."

Mu Huanqing shook her head, suppressing the myriad of questions in her heart. Taking the child from Uncle Han, she said, "I'm fine, as long as my child won't lack a grandfather's love in the future."

"Qing'er..."

After hearing this, Uncle Han still felt a wave of sadness. Mu Huanqing meant that he didn't need to make up for the past, he only needed to love her child.

However, in Uncle Han's view, Mu Huanqing was his own daughter and should be closer to him than his granddaughter. Unfortunately, much had happened in the past, and he had to leave the Mu family to protect Fang Ren.

Upon seeing this, Fang Ren spoke up, "Qing'er, you just gave birth to a child and went through a great battle. Your body must be extremely weak, and I currently lack the medicinal materials to concoct tonics for you..."

Before Fang Ren could finish his words, Shang Han interjected anxiously, "What medicinal materials are needed? Write them down for me!"

"Uncle Han, you're severely injured right now. You should rest well. I will go buy the medicinal materials later," Fang Ren replied.

"Bullshit! Just write it down when I tell you to, what's with all the nonsense!" Shang Han slapped him, speaking furiously.

"Alright, alright, I'll write it now."

Without further ado, Fang Ren immediately took out a slate from his storage ring and inscribed a list of medicinal ingredients on it with his True Qi.

As soon as he finished writing, Shang Han grabbed the slate without a word and shot out of the window using his True Qi, coughing up a mouthful of blood before he left.

Upon seeing Shang Han like this, Mu Huiqing asked, "Ah Ran, what's wrong with him?"

Hearing this, Fang Ren's face showed a sigh, "Ah, Uncle Han heard that you gave birth and still went after Jiang Ling. In a fit of rage, he used a Forbidden Technique. Unfortunately, his meridians were too severely damaged. He had barely used the Forbidden Technique when he vomited blood in my room."

"..."

After hearing all this, Mu Huiqing furrowed her brows as she watched Shang Han disappear into the distance from the window. Actually... Shang Han also truly cared for her, a fact she had been clear on during the days she spent in Yangming City.

What she hadn't expected was that Shang Han would resort to using that Forbidden Technique because of her. As the Nine Heavens Mystic Lady, she was in contact with the world's top mightiest individuals, so she naturally knew much about Shang Han's past.

Shang Han's Spirit Form was already shattered, and if he continued using Forbidden Techniques, it would directly affect his lifespan.

Seeing the expression on Mu Huiqing's face, Fang Ren, who was busy with alchemy, felt much relieved in his heart. Although he had lied to Mu Huiqing, it was a lie with good intentions.

He hoped that Mu Huiqing would have a good relationship with Shang Han. And what he said wasn't entirely false; if Shang Han had the capacity to act after learning that Mu Huiqing had gone to pursue Jiang Ling following childbirth, then Fang Ren believed Shang Han would have certainly used the Forbidden Technique without hesitation to chase after Mu Huiqing.

But the unfortunate thing was that Shang Han had just used the Forbidden Technique, and Fang Ren had only just found him when the Backlash of the Forbidden Technique had already begun affecting Shang Han's body.

After a while, Mu Huiqing withdrew her distant gaze and looked at the infant in her arms. Instead of smiling, she spoke up, "Ah Ran, why are you keeping things from me?"

Fang Ren knew she was talking about Jiang Ling, so he stood up from beside the Pill Furnace, his face filled with sighs, "If I didn't conceal these matters from you, you would definitely think I had been brainwashed by the Nightfall Organization, and in the end, you might even go to war with Nightfall."

"I don't understand," Mu Huiqing shook her head and said, "We and the evil of Nightfall Organization are irreconcilable. A battle is inevitable. Why are you still afraid of us going to war with Jiang Ling?"

Fang Ren shook his head, "Qing'er, if we both still lack any ability to resist right now, what you would see is only the evil of the Central Area. But have you ever considered that if there's an organization opposing that evil, why would they be more wicked? Don't you think the world understands the Nightfall Organization well enough?"

"I don't want to know about those things," Mu Huiqing said earnestly, looking at him. "All I want now is to be with my husband and provide our child with a stable home. I don't want to hear about these complicated relations, and I am even less willing to let them shake the stability of our family."

"I know."

Fang Ren quickly went over to embrace her and the child, stroking her silver hair, and said, "I remember what I'm doing. What I've wanted from the start is to have a peaceful and happy home with you. Everything I'm doing now is for that original intention."
