Seeing his sister's condition, Deborah's heart clenched. He supported her and, after she calmed down, handed her some warm water.

"Sheng Sheng, be a good girl and sleep for a while. When you're all done, your brother will bring you a piece of candy." He quietly stayed with her until Di Sheng fell asleep.

A bittersweet feeling spread through him, leaving him somewhat lost and disoriented.

His sister is even extravagant when it comes to eating candy, for fear of affecting her health.

The room was decorated warmly, but the cold instruments disrupted the overall atmosphere, so the Di family could only add white noise to cover up the sound of the instruments operating.

Debord went upstairs to find his grandfather. Neither he nor his sister had ever seen their father. They were children raised in an incubator. Their fathers had long since died in battle, and they were raised using their fathers' sperm for the sake of the family's continuation.

Their grandparents are their only family.

“Grandpa,” Di Bo knocked on the door. Grandpa Di Dong was looking through medical materials. Hearing his grandson’s voice, he rubbed his sore eyes.

"Xiao Bo, how was school today?" He had a gentle face and looked like an old lady as he asked about his grandson's daily life with a smile.

“Grandpa, I met a new classmate at school today. He... he looks like…” Di Bo thought for a moment and said solemnly.

“Bai Ze, he looks like Bai Ze.”

Grandpa Di was stunned by his grandson's words. He had once seen a description of this kind of beast in an ancient book from ancient Earth, and at the time he was still saddened that he would never have the chance to see such a magical creature because of the restart of the universe.

He was telling this story to his grandson, but what is he hearing now? Bai Ze, orcs?

Fearing his grandfather wouldn't believe him, Di Bo quickly said, "Grandpa, that classmate doesn't usually pay attention in class, but he knows all the answers to the teacher's questions, and the teacher even allows him to study other materials on his own."

"Also, I saw his beast form today. After enlightenment, our beast forms will enter the sub-adult stage at the same time. He was still a cub, with white fur, a lion's tail, and horns on his head!" Dibo couldn't help but tremble when he thought of the time he saw Wen Ze. He was the closest and could feel a pressure spreading out the moment Wen Ze transformed into his beast form. Although it disappeared in an instant, he was sure that it was emanating from Wen Ze.

Looking at his grandson's flustered appearance, Di Dong also began to suspect something; it did seem somewhat plausible.

But how could that be? Bai Ze is a legendary mythical beast from ancient Earth, how could it be here?

In truth, he hoped it was true, because the ancient book claimed that Bai Ze was omniscient and might know how to cure Sheng Sheng.

When Di Dong talked about his fragile little granddaughter, he felt a pang of sadness.

Back then, her enlightenment was a near-death experience; now, a cold snap is almost costing Sheng Sheng her life.

Sheng Sheng is like a delicate flower petal; even the slightest discomfort can make her sick. But sometimes, her life is terrifyingly tenacious. Doctors once said she wouldn't live past five years old, but she stubbornly survived until enlightenment, transforming from a tiny jerboa into a little person as exquisite as an ice sculpture.

With her white hair and light pink eyes, Sheng Sheng was most beautiful when she smiled—what an adorable little girl! It's just a pity that she no longer has the strength to transform into human form. After the cold wave, she was like a small flower about to wither, spending less and less time awake each day.

If Sheng Sheng's condition deteriorates further after this month, she may have to be admitted to the medical ward.

Suddenly, Di Bo remembered something and quickly grabbed his grandfather's hand: "General Leng, Grandpa, please beg General Leng to ask her for the prescription?"

Leng Ranran's condition was kept secret until she woke up. It was only after she woke up that it was revealed that she had taken the last secret medicine of the Leng family. At that time, the Di family was very sorry, but seeing that Sheng Sheng's condition was deteriorating, Di Bo remembered this matter.

Di Dong hesitated. If he could, he would rather exchange his and his sons' military merits for it than shamelessly ask General Leng for favors.

But thinking of his granddaughter, he wiped his face and said, "Good!" He patted his grandson's head and said, "Little Bo has grown up so much, he's really smart."

Di Bo naively believed that as long as he begged General Leng, his sister would survive.

On his day off, Di Dong visited the Leng family with a gift in hand.

In terms of seniority, he and Leng Zhang were comrades-in-arms. He was once one of the top reconnaissance soldiers in the Third Army Corps, and Marshal Luo praised him highly!

Time has passed, and now he has grown old.

Leng Zhang was very happy to see him: "Old Dong, what brings you here? You used to be the most unsociable one."

One sentence was enough to trigger his memories.

He chuckled and said, "That's because you were arrogant. Back then, you looked down on everyone in the Third Legion, so of course I had to stay far away from you!"

The two chatted and laughed, enjoying each other's company, reminiscing about the past wars and their love for their country.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Di Dong finally got to the point: "Brother Leng, the reason I came here today is to ask about General Leng's prescription."

Leng Zhang's smile gradually disappeared, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Old Dong, it's not that I don't want to give you this prescription, but it involves a family secret."

Di Dong looked disappointed, but when he thought of his granddaughter, he choked up and said, "Brother Leng, you know my temper. I wouldn't have come if it weren't for this. Sheng Sheng, she... she can't hold on much longer!"

"I'll do anything as long as there's a sliver of hope! I'll give you my life!"

Looking at Di Dong, who was weeping uncontrollably, Leng Zhang felt a mix of emotions. He knew Di Dong's character. Years ago, when he was caught in the enemy's carpet bombing during a reconnaissance mission and his leg was broken, he didn't utter a sound and endured until he reached his own camp. He only fainted after reporting the intelligence. If it weren't for his granddaughter, he wouldn't have bent his back to beg for mercy.

He'd seen Sheng Sheng before; she was a very well-behaved and adorable little rascal, but unfortunately... sigh...

But the problem is, he doesn't have the prescription either!

Leng Zhang sighed: "Old Dong, it's not that I don't want to help..."

"Uncle Dong," Leng Ranran came downstairs, "would you please go back and wait for news?"

Upon hearing this, Di Dong nodded repeatedly, saying, "As long as there's hope, that's good. As long as there's hope, that's good."

"Xiao Ran, aren't you just giving him false hope?" Leng Zhang said strangely after Di Dong left.

Leng Ranran massaged her father's back: "When you just rejected him, didn't you just drain his spirit?"

“That’s true…” Leng Zhang sighed.

"Let Linlin give Shengsheng a check-up first, and we'll see what the results are." She was swift and decisive, immediately pulling Leng Linlin out of bed.

Leng Linlin, who was dreaming of kissing a handsome guy: ? ? ?
