Lan Ning paused, not because he was frightened by the situation, but because this was exactly the same feeling as Xuan Heng and the others transmitting power to him every day to nourish his inner elixir.

"So comfortable... so sleepy..."

The childish voice brought Lan Ning back to her wandering thoughts. She lowered her eyes to look at the baby's face, which had gradually returned to its normal skin color.

So... Lan Ning thought of the secret of that world, 'Inner elixir is the source of power, not the source of life'.

"Is it because the physical body and the inner elixir are naturally incompatible?" Lan Ning said the conclusion he had come to with difficulty.

[World Secret 4: The flesh and inner elixir of the beastmen are inherently incompatible.]

Perfect Six: "Would you consider saving her?"

save?

Lan Ning was silent. "How can we save him? I am still waiting for someone to save me."

Did Perfect Xiaoliu forget that she was also seriously injured? Although it was her idea to slow down the recovery speed of the injury.

Perfect Xiaoliu: "Regarding the hidden branch missions, the system cannot provide too many clues. You need to discover them yourself."

You can't always count on Perfect Xiaoliu to help you at critical moments.

Yu Mo, who had been carefully observing the child and Lan Ning, was filled with surprise in her beautiful silver eyes when she found that her daughter's complexion had improved. She wanted to go forward and touch the child, but was worried that it would affect Lan Ning's child's treatment.

Yumo couldn't help but think of that message.

Sure enough, the legend was not wrong, the person with heterochromia could save her child.

"..." Lan Ning withdrew her hand. She stared at the sleeping child for a long time. She really couldn't think of any way to save the child.

"Thank you." Yu Mo said gratefully. She looked at the baby in the cradle lovingly with a bitter face. "This child is two months old and his condition is getting worse. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't know..."

As Yumo spoke, her voice began to choke up. It was heartbreaking to see such a fragile beauty crying.

"Don't thank me yet, this is only temporary." Lan Ning had a clear understanding of her own abilities. She could see that the light in the baby's body had only weakened, but had not completely disappeared.

She could have directly drawn out all that power, but she was afraid that it might harm the baby's life.

"Temporarily?" Yu Mo's tears instantly stopped when she heard this. "Is there no way to completely cure it?"

It is difficult for orcs to get pregnant, and even if they give birth to a child, the child will die soon after.

No one can find the cause, and no one can cure it.

Yu Mo began to panic. She held the child in her arms, her tears gradually soaking the brocade on the child's body. "I have bad luck. I have only given birth to ten children, and in the end, only Jingye grew up safely. Did I do something wrong, so God wants to punish my child..."

Lan Ning was shocked when he heard this.

Jing Ye! The Jing Ye who had been an official in the imperial court for three years was the son of the beautiful woman in front of him?! Then, wouldn't the extremely beautiful Yan Xuan just now be the same age as Yu Mo?

Can the orcs stay young forever? But she has clearly seen older orcs!

"You really can't save her? Can the empress save her?" Yu Mo asked anxiously.

Lan Ning was very calm, "If she could have saved them, your children would not have died."

The sharp words made Yu Mo's face pale, and she began to recall her dead children.

The atmosphere in the car suddenly dropped to freezing point. Even the perfect Xiaoliu who was watching could not stand it anymore and reminded him, "Master, please be more tactful. Think carefully about the background of your character. Maybe there is a way to turn the situation around?"

Character background?

This reminded Lan Ning that she had mixed some truth into the tragic background she fabricated for herself. The memories she inherited included many people, including the brothers and sisters who grew up with her in the dungeon.

If there is any difference between the two...

That is, most of them were replaced just after birth, and they were not well fed or clothed during their growth, and were beaten. They relied on the power of their inner elixir to stay alive, and this child was born with a powerful inner elixir and was also physically fragile.

But in terms of physical fragility, everyone is the same. They all grow up safely and finally die from Furou's torture.

The child was probably born with a weak body, and the tribe tried every means to keep him alive with medicine.

medicine?

A flash of inspiration came to Lan Ning's mind. The Orcs were the best in the world in terms of genes. All the children born were born with a powerful inner elixir, but they were not born with the ability to use the power of the inner elixir.

Therefore, the power absorbed during the growth process cannot be stored in the inner elixir, causing the power to overflow and destroy the meridians.

The orcs, who already had few offspring, naturally hoped that every child could survive, and they used the most precious spiritual medicine to keep them alive. With their overflowing strength and the spiritual medicine to bless them, under such circumstances, those who could hold on would naturally survive, and those who couldn't would die.

This is an endless cycle.

Lan Ning looked at Yu Mo's tearful face. She wanted to speak her mind, but the sleeping baby suddenly started crying. Yu Mo was unwilling to let the child down, so she fed the baby in front of Lan Ning.

She watched the child calm down, but his skin gradually turned red again, which made Lanning more certain of her guess.

Lan Ning waited until Yu Mo finished feeding the child before speaking, "If you trust me, just let me raise her for a while. Maybe I can find a way to save her."

A mother would be hesitant to hand over her dying child to someone else, even if that person was Princess Wan Jing.

Yu Mo looked hesitant, "Are you sure you can cure her?"

Lanning: "I'll try my best."

She paused, "If you are worried, you can live with me in the Regent's Palace. I will let the prince make the arrangements."

There was a chance in front of her to save her child, and she had been to the palace and the Fuji Banquet so many times, but she could only save one child.

Yu Mo took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, "I do."

Lan Ning reached out her hand again to absorb the power overflowing from the baby's body. As she got out of the car with her skirt lifted up, she gave Yu Mo a piece of advice, "Your body is also very depleted. Don't take any more elixirs in the near future. They will do more harm than good."

She lifted the car curtain and got out, just in time to meet the eyes of a group of people with nervous faces.

Xuan Heng explained to the nobles why Lan Ning got on the car. It was truly a miracle that she could hear the baby's cry for help. However, when he thought about the gusts of cold wind in Penglai Palace that day, he felt that this was very reasonable.

Seeing her get off the car at this moment, it is inevitable to ask, "What's the situation?"

Lan Ning: "Neither is very good. If you hadn't met me, you might have only lived half a month longer."

Her words made everyone present gasp, especially Jing Ye, whose sharp silver eyes looked more bewildered. He stared at the carriage with great worry, and his voice became more cautious, "Can you save her?"

Lan Ning walked towards Xuan Heng. "I can only say I'll try my best." She pointed to the carriage behind her. "I promised her, so they have to go back to the palace with me, okay?"

Xuan Heng nodded, "Okay."
