The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Godmother

Nangong Zihan was frantic, shouting, ”Find a way to stimulate Sister Shishi! The Celestial Doctor True Essence transfer will be complete in another five minutes! Sister Shishi has already endured so much pain, we can’t let all her efforts go to waste!”

Nangong Ziqing, Danba, and Duan Yanming were also frantic. What were they supposed to do?

Nangong Ziqing suddenly had an idea. She said in a deep voice, ”Quick! Bring Cheng Yuan over here! Let Cheng Yuan and Shishi have some contact! To Miss Hu, Cheng Yuan is her greatest spiritual support!”

”Ah, yes, right away!”

Duan Yanming quickly carried Cheng Yuan over and placed his large hand over Hu Shishi’s small one.

Hu Shishi was on the verge of death. She felt as if she were walking down a dark road.

The road seemed endless, buffeted by astral winds. Every moment, she endured bone-chilling pain, unable to find even a sliver of warmth.

Hu Shishi felt exhausted, sleepy, and utterly hopeless.

She just wanted to let go and fall asleep.

After a full half-hour of torture, Hu Shishi had already forgotten what she was holding on for. Only a faint, subconscious memory remained that something was very important.

But now, her consciousness was fading, and even that subconscious flicker was about to disappear.

’Just let me fall asleep!’

’I really can’t take it anymore!’

Just as Hu Shishi was about to be completely consumed by darkness, she suddenly felt a thread of warmth amidst the biting cold wind.

It was as if a lighthouse had appeared on the dark, cold road, flashing ceaselessly, illuminating the path forward for her.

Hu Shishi suddenly remembered what she was holding on for!

Xiaoyuan!

It was Xiaoyuan!

Xiaoyuan was waiting for her to save him!

She couldn’t sleep!

She absolutely could not!!

It was as if Hu Shishi was suddenly rejuvenated, unleashing all the potential within her body!

CRACK!

As if shattering some kind of shackles, Hu Shishi mobilized all the energy hidden deep within her cells!

This energy was magnificent and vast, constructing a boundless star map within Hu Shishi’s body!

Hu Shishi felt her condition was better than ever; a temporary flush even appeared on her face!

Seeing this, the three of them were profoundly shaken!

Nangong Ziqing said with extreme excitement, ”The Star War Body! Miss Hu actually awakened the Star War Body in a desperate situation! I said it before, Miss Hu’s future is destined to be extraordinary! From the looks of it now, she can absolutely reach the pinnacle of the Ancient Martial Realm! She’s definitely qualified to follow the Sacred Body and assist him in suppressing an entire era!!”

Danba also exclaimed in admiration, ”The Star War Body ranks third among the ten great ancient War Bodies. It’s an exceptionally powerful War Body! I never thought Miss Hu would find a blessing in disguise!”

Duan Yanming’s tone, however, was somewhat downcast. ”Unfortunately, Miss Hu awakened it too late. Her Star War Body is severely damaged. I wonder if it will affect her lifespan...”

For a moment, the group fell silent.

Duan Yanming was right. Hu Shishi likely didn’t have much time left.

Nangong Ziqing turned her head away and secretly wiped away her tears.

’Why?’

’Why must the heavens be so cruel?’

’Why take away such a brilliantly talented woman?’

Danba raised a hand to form a sign, then frowned deeply. ”I can’t see it clearly. I actually can’t see Miss Hu’s future path! This means Miss Hu has a chance for a turnaround! Ziqing, Second Brother, you two don’t need to worry.”

Nangong Ziqing was overjoyed, even subconsciously calling out a name she had hidden in her heart for a full sixty years, ”Brother, is what you said true? Does Miss Hu really have a chance?”

Danba asked with a gentle smile, ”Ziqing, why are you so concerned about Miss Hu?”

Nangong Ziqing shot Danba a glare. ”I feel a connection with Miss Hu, is that a problem? I’m planning to take her as my goddaughter!”

”That won’t do. Wouldn’t that make Miss Hu and Third Brother a generation apart?”

”We can just keep our relationships separate. Or, I wouldn’t mind if you and Yanming called me ’Auntie’.”

Danba: ”...”

Duan Yanming: ”...”

Danba and Duan Yanming exchanged a look and said with a wry smile, ”Let’s just keep our relationships separate.”

With hope renewed, Hu Shishi’s will was incredibly firm, and the final part of the journey went smoothly.

Finally, the Celestial Doctor True Essence transfer was complete.

Nangong Zihan slowly landed, gradually retracted her power, and opened her eyes weakly. ”Fortunately, I didn’t fail my mission. It’s done.”

After speaking, Nangong Zihan fainted.

Nangong Ziqing carried Nangong Zihan to the next room to rest.

After settling Nangong Zihan down, Nangong Ziqing returned and looked at Hu Shishi with some concern. ”Why hasn’t Miss Hu woken up yet?”

Danba said with a slightly serious expression, ”Miss Hu’s injuries were extremely severe. Even with her awakening the Star War Body, she couldn’t withstand such heavy damage. Her brain’s self-protection mechanism should last for a few more minutes.”

Nangong Ziqing nodded slightly and waited patiently.

Five minutes later, Hu Shishi slowly opened her eyes and looked around in a daze.

’Who am I?’

’Where am I?’

Soon, Hu Shishi felt her hand holding someone else’s and subconsciously turned her head to look.

’Eh?’

’This person looks so familiar...’

’And so handsome!’

’Who is he again?’

BUZZ!!

The chaotic fragments of her memory, which had been thrown into disarray, rapidly reassembled. Hu Shishi remembered everything that had just happened, and then she felt a bone-piercing pain.

Hu Shishi couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan. ”Ngh...”

Nangong Ziqing looked at Hu Shishi with a worried expression. ”Miss Hu, are you alright?”

”I’m... alright.”

Nangong Ziqing looked at Hu Shishi with eyes full of expectation. ”Miss Hu, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Nangong Ziqing, the Third Supreme Elder of Medicine Valley and Zihan’s Guardian. I admire you greatly and would like to take you as my goddaughter. What do you think?”

’The Third Supreme Elder of Medicine Valley??’

Hu Shishi’s pupils contracted slightly.

As a member of Dragon Flame, Hu Shishi was well aware of the weight a Supreme Elder of Medicine Valley carried. That was a Martial Emperor at the very least!

”It is my honor that Elder Nangong thinks so highly of me. However, from now on, I am a cripple. I fear I would only tarnish your good name.”

”I have lived in seclusion for many years. The Jianghu has long forgotten any legends about me; I stopped caring about empty fame long ago. My affection for you comes from the bottom of my heart. Regardless of your talent, whether you have a future, or even if you only have half a month to live, I will treat you like my own daughter and let you spend your final days surrounded by love.”

WHOOSH!

Hu Shishi burst into tears.

Hu Shishi had been exceptional since she was a child. The Hu Family had high hopes for her and made strict demands. Ever since she could remember, her daily schedule had been packed.

At the end of each day, she was just tired. She had truly never felt much warmth from her parents.

But from Nangong Ziqing, Hu Shishi felt an abundance of care and affection.

Hu Shishi choked back sobs as she bowed to Nangong Ziqing. ”Shishi greets Godmother!”

Nangong Ziqing immediately burst into tears. She had remained unmarried her whole life, always envious of her good sisters who were surrounded by children and grandchildren. Now, she finally had a daughter!!

Nangong Ziqing pulled Hu Shishi into her embrace.

”My dear daughter!”
