47: What a surprise! A huge surprise!
Luo Hongguo and his wife stood frozen after hearing Qiao Yu's words. In Mingyue Residential Area, it was not uncommon for martial artists to be disabled due to battles with monsters, and they even had small groups among themselves.
Through their conversations, they had heard others mention a miraculous potion in the martial artist circle that could regrow severed limbs. However, the ingredients for the potion were too precious and rare, and the price seemed to be hundreds of billions of huaxia coin, yet it was still unavailable on the market.
Upon hearing the price, Luo Hongguo and his wife sighed helplessly. Such an exorbitant price would be difficult to raise even for their eldest son, Luo Feng, who was a martial artist.
Luo Hua, on the other hand, held no hope at all. Over the years, he had constantly reconciled with himself, refraining from meaningless fantasies.
But now, Qiao Yu had actually produced a potion that could regrow Luo Hua's severed limbs. This was a surprise that the Luo family found hard to express.
Qiao Yu and Luo Feng's family entered the villa. Luo Hua tightly clutched the blood-red potion. Everyone was silent, only Qiao Yu and Luo Feng looked calm and composed.
Luo Feng had personally witnessed Zhang Ke's arm regrow, so he had no doubts whatsoever.
The other members of the Luo family remained silent, but their hearts were exceptionally stirred, especially Luo Hua. He was even afraid that if he said one more word, the potion would turn out to be fake, giving him hope only to disappoint him again.
“Xiao Yu, the price of this potion is probably...”
Luo Hongguo was the first to break the silence, worried that this potion would bring Qiao Yu unnecessary financial burden.
“Don't worry, Uncle Luo. I no longer have family, so you all are my family. Luo Hua is my younger brother. Money isn't important.”
Qiao Yu's words and facial expression were extremely sincere, deeply touching Luo Feng's family, almost bringing them to tears.
“Brother Yu, you're my true brother! Even if my real older brother was gone, I couldn't be without you!”
Luo Hua hugged Qiao Yu and shouted, making Luo Feng's face darken. He lightly punched Luo Hua on the head.
“Hahaha, what a glib tongue.”
Qiao Yu patted Luo Hua's head. With just the flesh and blood of a few monsters, he could earn the Luo family's genuine hospitality. Even if he, Qiao Yu, was useless in the future, he could still be a Universe Rank professional player.
“Alright, no more nonsense, let's begin.”
Qiao Yu took the potion from Luo Hua's hand, uncapped it, and evenly applied the contents to Luo Hua's missing legs, while silently chanting in his heart,
‘System, severed limb regeneration!’
“Ding! host, do you wish to use 2,000,000 ml of flesh and blood mycelium to perform severed limb regeneration for another person?”
‘Yes!’
Luo Feng's family nervously watched Luo Hua's blood-red legs, unconsciously swallowing their saliva.
Luo Hua's injury was not as immediate as Zhang Ke's. It had been several years since his amputation and lower body paralysis. Luo Feng couldn't be sure if his brother's severed limbs could be successfully regenerated.
At this moment, Qiao Yu could sense the flesh and blood mycelium applied to Luo Hua's legs drilling inwards through his skin.
It continuously eroded Luo Hua's previously weak leg muscles, and the necrotic nerve cells were also devoured and transformed by the flesh and blood mycelium until both of Luo Hua's severed legs were completely consumed by the fungal swarm.
Then, the flesh and blood mycelium transformed itself into important leg bones such as the pelvis, hip bone, and tibia. The nervous system and muscle groups of the legs and spine were all being rebuilt.
Qiao Yu even sensed that Luo Hua's 'third leg' was also affected by the flesh and blood mycelium, developing significantly.
‘Zhen Nan will be blessed in the future.’
Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow, secretly joking to himself.
Luo Hua felt no pain, and his legs had been reconstructed into two new long legs. The bloody scene of the reconstruction was horrifying to Luo Hongguo and his wife.
Time passed minute by minute. Although Luo Hua's legs had been reconstructed, due to his lower body paralysis and spinal nerve damage, his legs still couldn't move an inch.
Gong Xinlan watched, her heart filled with worry that this severed limb regeneration might go wrong and fail.
Ten minutes passed, and Luo Hua still felt nothing. He was very worried, but he forced a smile and said to Qiao Yu,
“Brother Yu, it's been so long without any movement, did it fail...?”
“It's okay, I was already disabled anyway, I shouldn't have hoped to recover my legs...”
Luo Hongguo and his wife quickly patted Qiao Yu's shoulder, signaling him not to blame himself.
“Sigh...”
Luo Feng's initially happy expression gradually became a little dejected.
Zhang Ke had lost his entire arm, but other aspects were perfectly fine. Coupled with timely severed limb regeneration, he could adapt quickly.
However, Luo Hua's lower body was still paralyzed, and the reasons for this were complex and varied, also related to his spinal nerves. It probably wouldn't be so easy to solve.
“Hiss—”
Just as Luo Hua was disappointed and the Luo family turned to comfort Qiao Yu, a painful groan escaped Luo Hua's mouth.
“Luo Hua, what's wrong?”
Luo Feng asked anxiously.
“Brother... my legs, my legs hurt!”
Luo Hua's eyebrows, which had been unconsciously furrowed in pain, instantly relaxed, and he became exceptionally excited.
“Dad! Mom! Brother! Brother Yu! My legs hurt!”
Luo Hua waved his hands excitedly.
The pain grew more and more intense, but Luo Hua's face was full of smiles.
His legs had been numb for several years; he couldn't even feel their existence. But at this moment, even the pain allowed Luo Hua to clearly know that his legs existed, that they belonged to him!
At a certain moment while Luo Hua was waving his hands, his right leg suddenly kicked out and retracted, followed by both legs kicking out.
Luo Feng's family's excitement was palpable, and Luo Feng carefully helped his brother stand up.
Luo Hua slowly shuffled forward little by little, constantly trying to use more strength to move his legs.
Qiao Yu also smiled and nodded. Even Zhang Ke's severed arm could regenerate, so Luo Hua's lower body paralysis was practically child's play.
As Luo Hua walked two meters and the strength in his legs became more apparent, he began to try walking while holding onto the wall.
Gradually, from shuffling forward with his feet touching the ground, he progressed to being able to lift his feet a few centimeters and step forward, and finally, to walking normally.
Qiao Yu, Luo Feng, and Luo Hongguo and his wife felt joy in their hearts as they watched Luo Hua's excited, trembling back.
Luo Hua turned around excitedly, tears streaming down his face.
He walked up to Qiao Yu like a normal person and hugged him tightly, getting snot and tears all over Qiao Yu's clothes.
“Brother Yu... Brother Yu... Thank you... Thank you...”
Qiao Yu patted Luo Hua's back and scolded him with a smile.
“Alright, alright, you're a grown man, what's there to cry about? Aren't you ashamed? Besides, there's another surprise coming.”
Luo Hua, Luo Feng, and Luo Hongguo and his wife all looked at Qiao Yu curiously. Another surprise?
“A-Yu, what surprise? Is there a bigger surprise than Luo Hua's legs recovering?”
Luo Feng asked in surprise.
“Haha, this surprise can only be enjoyed by Luo Hua himself.”
Qiao Yu's mouth twisted into a smirk, and he whispered a few words into Luo Hua's ear.
Luo Hua's body stiffened. Using his position to shield himself, he looked down, then turned around and scratched his head, his expression a mix of embarrassment and happiness.
“Brother Yu... this really is a surprise, yes, a big surprise!”
