The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

That being the case...

Ye Feng's gaze narrowed slightly as he looked at the woman in his mother's arms.

Her skin was fair and her face was pale, giving her a sickly beauty.

Even Ye Feng, who was used to seeing beautiful women, had to admit that this woman was extremely beautiful.

But now, in his eyes, this woman is a hidden venomous snake.

Ye Feng was 100% certain that the "Mu Youning" in front of him was definitely pretending to be asleep!

Almost instantly, Ye Feng made a decision: he would turn the tables and subdue the woman while she was off guard.

but……

Before that, the mother needs to be kept away from her.

"Mother, I am an alchemist, please let me take a look!"

Ye Feng walked over, grabbed Mu Youning's hand, and pretended to take her pulse.

"Feng'er..."

Mu Xinglan recalled that Mu Youning had woken up several times on the way here.

On one occasion, Su Qi whispered something to Mu Youning while she was away, which Mu Youning overheard.

Su Qi made Mu Youning ask her for the power of the immortal medicine to prolong her life, otherwise, with just a little bit of Ye Feng's blood, it would be impossible to cure Mu Youning's congenital short life defect.

As long as she obtains the power of the elixir, she can live a normal life.

To be honest, when Mu Xinglan overheard this, she felt like she had been deceived once again.

He thought Ning'er saved him because of the power of the elixir.

But soon, she felt guilty.

Because Mu Youning rejected Su Qi without hesitation and made a vow on the spot that she would never ask Mu Xinglan for the power of the immortal medicine, she decisively put an end to Su Qi's thoughts.

Su Qi was very angry at the time and scolded her for being stubborn and unrepentant.

But Ning'er said that she would be content to die without regrets if her father and mother could accompany her on the final journey of her life.

Su Qi cried when he first heard his child call him "father".

Mu Xinglan, who was eavesdropping from the shadows, also cried.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Ye Feng asked, noticing Mu Xinglan's hesitant expression.

"Could you... give the power of the elixir to my sister? She has a congenital defect and doesn't have long to live. Only the power of the elixir can restore her to normal!"

Mu Xinglan originally wanted to tell Mu Youning's background, but when she thought about the mysterious organization hidden within Ye Feng, she dared not speak.

However, Mu Xinglan did not notice that when she brought this up, a shadow flashed in Ye Feng's eyes, and the hand holding Mu Youning's wrist tightened its grip.

It was this action that made him realize that Mu Youning's eyelids had twitched just now.

Was he really just pretending?

Ye Feng lowered his eyes and did not immediately agree to Mu Xinglan's request, but instead spoke.

"Mother, please stand back a bit. I have a way to wake my sister up. We can talk about everything else once she's awake!"

"That's...okay!"

Although Mu Xinglan didn't understand, she was still prepared to do as Ye Feng said.

Just as she was about to let go and hand the person over to Ye Feng, the person in her arms twitched their eyelids and groggily opened their eyes.

"Ning'er!"

Upon seeing this, Mu Xinglan was overjoyed and immediately hugged the person tightly again.

"Mother...where did we come from? Where is my sister?"

Seeing that everyone around her was a stranger, Mu Youning pretended to be shy and shrank into Mu Xinglan's arms.

But Ye Feng noticed that Mu Youning, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, placed her hand on Mu Xinglan's groin, glancing at him with a slightly wary look out of the corner of her eye.

Did she discover my plan?

Is she threatening herself with her mother's life?

No...maybe she's not sure yet, and is only so wary because she's suspicious.

Ye Feng's heart sank, but he didn't show it on his face, forcing out a gentle smile.

"Little sister, Mother must have told you about me, right? I'm Ye Feng. If you don't mind, you can call me Big Brother!"

Ye Feng tried to make Mu Youning lower her guard.

Mu Youning's eyes flickered, and she looked at Mu Xinglan with a puzzled expression. Seeing the latter nod, she timidly looked at Ye Feng and weakly called him "Big Brother".

Ye Feng smiled and nodded, but his eyes were fixed on Mu Youning's hand, which was placed on her mother's vital spot.

He pondered how to lower the woman's guard.

He quickly came up with an idea.

“Sister, Mother says you have a congenital defect. I plan to give you the power of the elixir that originated from Mother. What do you think?”

Upon hearing this, Mu Youning deliberately revealed a hint of surprise in her eyes from an angle that only Ye Feng could see, before quickly concealing it.

To feign reluctance and pretend to decline.

"This... is too valuable, I can't accept it!"

Mu Xinglan was overjoyed to hear that Ye Feng was willing to hand over the power of the immortal medicine.

But when she heard Ning'er refuse, she put on a stern face again.

"Ning'er, this is a gift from your elder brother. How can you refuse it? Don't you want to acknowledge me as your elder brother?"

At the same time, Mu Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief.

Last time, Su Qi had said that Ye Feng's encounter with danger made her realize that her voluntary offering of the immortal medicine's power was actually a trap set by that mysterious organization.

But now, Ye Feng's willingness to hand over the power of the immortal medicine to Ning'er is enough to prove that it was just a conspiracy theory imagined by Su Qi.

"I...of course not..."

Mu Youning hesitated, then secretly glanced at Ye Feng.

Upon seeing this, Ye Feng immediately revealed a sincere expression.

"Since you acknowledge me as your sister, don't refuse my gift. As your elder brother, how can I bear to see you suffer from illness? Compared to you, the power of a mere elixir is nothing."

He acted very magnanimously.

At this moment, the Tree Demon King beside him finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Xinglan, Xiaofeng, you mustn't! The power of the immortal medicine is crucial to the rise of our tree demon clan. How can we just give it away to outsiders?"

"Grandpa Tree, Ning'er is no outsider. If she hadn't risked her life to save me, I would still be imprisoned by the Li Clan!" Mu Xinglan hurriedly explained.

"Yes, Senior Tree, I only gave the power of the elixir to my sister, and then made the power disappear. She can also contribute to the tree demon clan after receiving the power of the elixir!"

Ye Feng chimed in.

The Tree Demon King wanted to retort, but suddenly he paused, then looked deeply at Ye Feng before letting out a long sigh.

"Well... alright! Little girl, I hope you won't betray the tree spirit clan in the future!"

Mu Youning shrank back, somewhat frightened, but still nodded.

The Tree Demon King was stunned for a moment just now, probably because Ye Feng was secretly transmitting his voice to him.

However, Su Qi controlled Mu Youning, pretending not to notice, and glanced at Ye Feng.

Seemingly no longer doubting, he removed his hand from Mu Xinglan's vital area.

"In that case, let's get started without delay!" Ye Feng said with a slight smile.

"This...shouldn't we prepare something?" Mu Xinglan glanced around anxiously.

"Mother, don't worry. This is the territory of the Tree Spirit Clan. Who would dare to cause trouble? Besides, Senior Tree is here!"

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Mu Xinglan realized that she had been worrying unnecessarily and nodded.

"Alright then, be careful, Ning'er is very weak right now."

As she spoke, she was about to hand Mu Youning over to Ye Feng.

Mu Youning was a little nervous and grabbed Mu Xinglan's sleeve with her small hand.

"It's alright, Mother will be watching over us the whole time!"
