Meng Family Head took a glance at Feng Jiu and told the City Lord. “If you need anything else, please don’t hesitate to speak. I, surnamed Meng, won’t decline to do it as long as it’s within my abilities.”
Hearing this, the City Lord had an even more favourable impression of the Meng clan. He nodded and answered with a smile, “Don’t worry, Big Brother Meng. I won’t hold back when the necessity arises. You have helped me a lot this time. If you need any help from me, please do not hesitate to ask.”
“Hahaha, City Lord, you flattered me.” Meng Family Head was very happy. He knew that after this event, the City Lord wouldn’t remain indifferent when something happened to the Meng clan. This was sufficient for him.
When she arrived at the ice cellar, Feng Jiu stopped. “City Lord, I’ll have just you come inside with me. Everyone else will stay outside. No one is allowed in until someone inside opens the door.”
“Don’t worry! I’ll keep watch. No one will be allowed to make a mess.” Guan Xilin laughed loudly and patted his chest, letting her feel at ease.
Feng Jiu smiled and nodded to him. It was only then that she pushed the stone door open and entered the ice cellar with the City Lord. As soon as they went in, the cold air hit them on the face. The chill permeated their bodies quickly as if all the pores in their bodies were open.
Feeling the intense cold inside, she immediately lifted her inner breath and let the spirit energy breath circulated through her blood arteries and veins. After a while, her body became warm.
City Lord Duan also used his spirit energy to protect his body. He looked at Feng Jiu and asked, “Young Master Feng, is there anything I can do?”
“Take off your father’s coat.” Feng Jiu answered, glancing at the table placed on one side. She asked them to put the table inside so that it’s convenient for her to put things.
“Yes.”
City Lord Duan personally took his unconscious father’s coat off. After all, no one else here could do it for him. However, the closer he got to the millennium ice bed, the more penetrating the cold air was. When he saw his father lying supine on the ice bed with a bare upper body and had a thin layer of ice forming on top of his face, City Lord Duan became even more worried.
In such a cold place, his father didn’t have the spirit energy to protect his body. Could he endure it? What if his father froze, resulting in an ailment? Having this thought in his mind, he inquired anxiously. “Young Master Feng, my father doesn’t have spirit energy to protect his body. Is it really alright for him to lie down on the millennium ice bed?”
Feng Jiu made a slight frown and cast a glance at him. “City Lord Duan, since you have entrusted your father to me for treatment, don’t question my method. Besides, I still haven’t started yet. Once this starts, please don’t speak and make any noise to disturb me.”
While saying this, Feng Jiu took a knife and wiped it. She looked at him and explained, “In fact, I can do this treatment alone. I let you in so that you can watch with your own eyes how I help cure your father. But, if you disturb me half-way, resulting in the treatment’s failure, your father’s life may be destroyed.”
City Lord Duan’s expression changed. Although Feng Jiu sounded very impolite, he knew that she was telling the truth. So, he apologized to her. “Young Master Feng, I’m really sorry. You can rest assured that I won’t do it again.”
