After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 73

An Jiuxi waved her hand, "Take me upstairs to see the child first."

Madam Li immediately offered, "Master, let me take you upstairs."

Mrs. Li had already heard her husband tell her about the little girl's identity.

Although they distrusted her somewhat because of her young age, they had no other choice.

An Jiuxi followed Madam Li upstairs; Li Yuke's room was at the end of the corridor.

The closer you get, the stronger the chilling aura becomes.

An Jiuxi couldn't help but frown, becoming even more certain of her guess.

Pushing open the door, inside the exquisitely decorated house, a thin, bony little boy lay on a large bed.

A dark blue sheet covered him, making his wrinkled face, as weathered as tree bark, appear even more vibrant and serene.

"Master, this is my son, Xiao Ke," Madam Li said, her voice trembling with tears. "Please, you must save him."

An Jiuxi comforted Madam Li and then walked towards the little boy.

Madam Li followed closely behind.

An Jiuxi walked to the bedside and checked on the little boy's condition.

Li Yuke's brow was as black as ink, and a deathly aura lingered on his face.

If she hadn't come today, the child probably wouldn't have made it through the night.

After a careful inspection, I was basically certain that it was similar to my guess.

An Jiuxi put two fingers together and touched the little boy's forehead, and a wisp of spiritual energy flowed into the little boy's body through her fingertips.

The little boy's lifeless appearance improved considerably, and his eyelids even twitched.

Upon seeing this, a flush of color crossed Madam Li's face. She rushed forward and called out urgently, "Ke Bao, Ke Bao is your mother! Open your eyes and look at your mother!"

Perhaps he heard Madam Li's call, Li Yuke slowly opened his eyes.

Upon seeing Madam Li, he forced a smile.

"Mom...Mom." The child was only a few years old, but his voice sounded like that of a seventy-year-old, rough and hoarse.

Mrs. Li's tears streamed down her face as she grasped her son's hand and pressed it against her cheek.

"Ke Bao, Mommy's baby, you're finally awake! You scared Mommy to death!"

Li Yuke became anxious when he saw Madam Li crying.

Her little hands were eager to wipe away her tears, but after only a slight movement, she was already panting heavily.

All I could do was offer words of comfort: “Mommy, don’t cry, Ke Bao is okay.”

The young child has already learned to try to comfort his mother.

It's so heartwarming it almost breaks your heart.

Madam Li cried even more bitterly, raising her eyes to look at An Jiuxi.

"Master, my son..."

An Jiuxi sighed inwardly, "Madam, may I speak to you in private?"

Madam Li gently coaxed Li Yuke for a few moments until he fell asleep again, then got up and walked out of the room with An Jiuxi.

As soon as she stepped outside, her eyes red and filled with anxiety, she asked An Jiuxi, "Master, is our Ke Bao... is he...?"

The rest of the words were choked up and could not be uttered.

"Don't worry, Madam Li. With my spiritual power supporting you, Xiao Ke will be fine for the time being."

An Jiuxi spoke first, to comfort Madam Li.

Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed An Jiuxi's hand. "What happened to our Ke Bao? How could he suddenly... suddenly like this..."

An Jiuxi looked deeply into Madam Li's eyes, "Xiao Ke... his life has been taken by someone else!"

Madam Li covered her mouth, her eyes wide with shock. "Borrowing a life?"
