Chapter 78 

 

Cheng Yi looked at An Yan and said, "Does Yan Yan want to stay too?"

An Yan nodded repeatedly, "Squeak squeak!" Yes, yes, yes!

Cheng Yi did not directly agree to this matter, but first carried An Yan back into his arms: "Grandfather, Yan Yan wants to go to the bathroom. I’ll take him there first."

An Yan tilted his little head: "Squeak?" When did he say he wanted to go to the bathroom?

After leaving the ward, Cheng Yi did not take the little one to the bathroom, but went downstairs to a secluded place in the garden of the sanatorium. He picked an angle that the surveillance could not cover clearly and turned on his light brain.

Cheng Yi: [You have been with me all day. You should go home to accompany Auntie in the evening.]

An Yan did not say anything about this matter, but asked a question with his little paw: [Senior, can you tell me about Grandpa Cheng’s health?]

Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and then typed a paragraph: [Many years ago, my grandfather was accidentally attacked by the zerg while on the battlefield. His body and spiritual power were severely damaged. Although the situation was very serious, the doctors could not find the root cause of the trauma to the spiritual domain, and there was no way to repair the damage it. Therefore, although Grandpa has been in the sanatorium to receive treatment, the condition of his spiritual domain has deteriorated and it’s now on the verge of collapse...]

At this point, Cheng Yi's fingertips paused slightly before he continued to tap the input field: [Although my father has not yet explained the specific situation to me, I’m afraid that the condition of my grandfather’s spiritual domain is not optimistic.]

Seeing Cheng Yi’s low mood, An Yan stretched out his little paw and patted his arm twice, then replied to Cheng Yi’s initial question: [I can go home early tomorrow to be with my mother. Let me stay here tonight.]

Although he knew that his presence may not play any role, An Yan still wanted to stay by Cheng Yi’s side.

He did not know why he had such a thought, but the idea just came so firmly.

Although he felt that the little one should go home to be with his mother, after all, she could only be with him on weekends, and she had just gone through the tide of unemployment, so now was the time when she needed her son’s company the most.

But in his heart, he obviously preferred the little one to be with him at this time.

Cheng Yi was slightly conflicted and asked in confirmation: [Does Yan Yan really want to stay with me?]

An Yan immediately typed a word with his little paw, along with an exclamation mark representing his attitude: [Yes!]

Cheng Yi reached out and stroked the little one’s furry, soft body for a moment. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Yan Yan."

"Squeak." It’s nothing.

One man and one hamster sat in the garden for a while longer before returning to the ward.

Different from the situation when they just left, only Cheng Fu and Grandpa Cheng were in the ward. The atmosphere in the ward was markedly depressing. Cheng Fu was sitting on the edge of the bed with his head down, while Grandpa Cheng was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, looking like he was asleep.

On seeing Cheng Yi walk in, Cheng Fu’s first reaction was not to turn around, but to slightly turn his face sideways.

Cheng Yi paused and asked softly: "Where are Mother and Yang Yang?"

Cheng Fu said in a low voice: "They went to get dinner for your grandfather."

As a nursing home with excellent service, they not only paid attention to the health condition of the patients but also prepared the corresponding meals according to each patient’s physical condition.

Originally, the patient’s three meals a day were delivered to the ward by the nursing home staff. Mother Cheng and Cheng Yang went to get it themselves because Cheng Fu had deliberately instructed them to go so that he could talk with Grandpa Cheng alone.

From the current situation in the ward, the exchange between the two must have ended, but Cheng Yi still chose to retreat: "I’ll go over to see them."

"Okay." Cheng Fu still didn’t turn around.

The Cheng family’s mood was low because of Grandpa Cheng’s condition; even An Yan’s spirits were low.

After eating dinner, Cheng Fu and Cheng Lin stayed with Grandpa Cheng for a while longer before they were urged several times to leave.

 Although it was only eight o’clock, Cheng Yi and Cheng Yang laid down early because Grandpa Cheng needed a good rest.

An Yan was nestled next to Cheng Yi’s pillow and obediently closed his beady eyes.

In the dead of the night, after making sure that everyone was asleep, a pair of small but crystal bright bean eyes slowly opened.

An Yan did not rush into action. He first shook his ears and listened carefully for a moment. After making sure that everyone’s breathing was deep and even, he carefully lifted the small quilt on his body and slowly climbed up.

He had a firm attitude towards staying the night, not only because he wanted to accompany Cheng Yi, but also to check on Grandpa Cheng’s health and see if he could be of any help.

Since enrolling in school, An Yan had been exposed to some knowledge of spiritual potions. He knew that some effective potions could not only achieve the regular effects on spiritual power but could also repair problems in the spiritual domain.

It’s not that An Yan had much confidence in himself; it’s just that he now understood the effect his spiritual power had on potions, and he had made an A-grade spiritual potion before. It was hard not to have some ideas in his mind.

After getting up quietly, An Yan slowly climbed out of bed, then stretched his two small paws, tiptoeing to Grandpa Cheng’s hospital bed, and gently climbing up.

He intended to use his spiritual power to probe Grandpa Cheng’s physical condition as well as his spiritual domain. 

As for the latter, he didn’t know much about the human spiritual domain, so An Yan didn’t dare guarantee that things would go smoothly.

But no matter what, as long as he knew that it would not hurt Grandpa Cheng, he had to try it first.

 An Yan slowly closed his eyes and extended a ray of spiritual energy, slowly moving it into Grandpa Cheng’s arm.

This spiritual energy slowly flowed along Grandpa Cheng’s meridians, breaking through the many obstacles and soon forming a large circulation.

On the basis of this large circulation, An Yan controlled his spiritual power to go to more subtle places for a more detailed examination.

 This process was carried out very slowly and gently in order not to harm Grandpa Cheng’s body. It took about half an hour before the physical examination was finally completed.

He found that Grandpa Cheng’s body itself was not a big problem, only that some of his meridians were in a blocked state. If not for An Yan’s gentle and strong spiritual power, perhaps it would have been difficult to even complete the initial large circulation.

 After determining the problems in Grandpa Cheng’s body, he simply left the spiritual energy in Grandpa Cheng’s body for the time being and slowly opened up the blocked meridians in his body through continuous circulation.

The next step was the examination of the spiritual domain.

An Yan steadied his mind and once again extended a ray of spiritual energy.

But this time, his spiritual power did not enter Grandpa Cheng’s body. It followed the position of his temple and tentatively explored his spiritual domain.

Like Cheng Yi said before, Grandpa Cheng’s spiritual domain was on the verge of collapse, so An Yan's progress was not significantly hindered.

On the contrary, after entering the spiritual domain, An Yan was really shocked by the situation in Grandpa Cheng’s spiritual domain.

On the contrary, Grandpa Cheng’s spiritual domain looked like a mess. There were messy gray fog masses and active, throbbing black dots everywhere. An Yan had not even explored the situation yet, but he could already feel the seriousness of the problem.

But according to Cheng Yi’s words, the most serious problem in Grandpa Cheng’s spiritual domain should lie at the edge of the spiritual domain.

So An Yan controlled his spiritual power to turn around and "look." He found that at the edge of this space was a thin layer covered with numerous cracks, and it was flickering indefinitely.

So Grandpa Cheng’s spiritual domain wall had broken to this extent. No wonder he could enter without any resistance.

An Yan thought anxiously, and at the same time, he began to control his spiritual power to move deeper into the spiritual domain.

In the process, a few active black dots collided against it. Although they didn’t hurt An Yan directly, they eliminated a portion of his spiritual energy.

Or maybe it should be said the other way around. While the black dots eliminated his spiritual power, it would also melt away these black dots smoothly.

The gray fog clusters were relatively static, and An Yan was being cautious, so he did not dare touch them directly, but there was no reaction from them.

Grandpa Cheng’s spiritual domain space was very large. An Yan controlled his spiritual power to move for a long time, but he did not find other boundaries. An Yan had got a rough idea of the situation, so he withdrew his spiritual power.

He had only found one edge to the spiritual domain, so he tried to go through that spiritual domain wall with his spiritual power.

An Yan thought his spiritual energy would go straight through the spiritual domain wall and leave Grandpa Cheng’s spiritual domain, but to his surprise, this seemingly porous spiritual domain wall directly absorbed his spiritual energy without a word.

What’s going on?

An Yan frowned and tried again, but the result was the same as just now. His spiritual power had no exit and was absorbed by the spiritual domain wall again.

This situation made An Yan hesitate for a while. He was not sure what effect his spiritual power would have after being absorbed, so he dared not continue trying.

But the problem was, he had already injected a lot of spiritual energy to examine Grandpa Cheng’s spiritual domain. So what should he do with this spiritual power?

It seemed to be less reassuring to just leave it, but it also couldn’t get out.

Just when An Yan was torn over this problem, Grandpa Cheng, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly rolled over.
