29: Chapter 29 The Supernatural Power "Rejuvenating Flesh and Bones" is in hand.
Xu Ying stared at her raised palm with trembling eyes, tears welling up in her sockets as she choked out, "My hand… I have sensation in it!?"
It had been over a decade.
From her neck down, she had been completely without sensation.
She was like a marionette.
If not for her daughter's meticulous care, let alone being free of pressure sores, just surviving would have been a miracle.
She had already accepted the fate of being paralyzed for the rest of her life.
Yet, at this moment, she could move again?
Lin Xiaojin gripped Xu Ying's palm tightly, her eyes red, unable to hold back the scalding tears. "Mom, you can move! That's great, it's really just wonderful."
Qin Ge watched as Xu Ying's upper body gradually regained vitality, thinking to himself that it was as expected. He emphasized, "To be precise, you've gone from high paraplegia to hemiplegia."
"The special medicine only restored the nerves in your spine; however, below your legs, there are other injuries that haven't healed."
Furthermore, the chronic ailment below Xu Ying's waist was even more troublesome.
The paralysis had lasted too long, making the situation far more complex.
Even Chen Yuan's beautiful Revered Master and the current Qin Ge could not cure it!
Xu Ying looked at Qin Ge, saying excitedly, "Mr. Qin, this is already enough."
"I just don't know, to what extent will my upper body be able to recover?"
Qin Ge replied, "No different from a normal person."
Beside them, Qiao Yingzi's eyes widened in shock. "This special medicine is that powerful?"
She knew where this special medicine had come from.
Qin Huanhuan had begged for it from her sect.
To think it could actually cure high paraplegia that had left someone bedridden for over a decade?
"It's a special medicine, so naturally it's powerful."
Qin Ge sneered inwardly.
He didn't even look at who had produced this black jade continuous ointment.
That was the masterpiece of Chen Yuan and Qin Huanhuan's beautiful Revered Master.
That Revered Master of Chen Yuan was an existence comparable to a land immortal.
Stunningly beautiful and capable of fighting.
Almost synonymous with invincible.
Anything produced by a beautiful Master must be a high-quality product!
"Thank you, Mr. Qin. I don't even know how to thank you enough."
Xu Ying was moved to tears.
Hemiplegia was better than nothing.
It was far better than high paraplegia.
At least she would be able to sit in a wheelchair in the future.
She would be able to help Xiao Jin around the house.
She would no longer have to be a paralyzed person with absolutely no autonomy, forcing all the burdens of the household onto her daughter alone.
As a mother, how could she not feel heartache for her own daughter?
Lin Xiaojin looked at Qin Ge with red eyes, bowing repeatedly. "Mr. Qin, thank you!"
She gritted her teeth, racking her brains, but still lowered her head: "Mr. Qin, I… I really thank you so much."
Qin Ge patted Lin Xiaojin's head, soothingly saying, "Alright, alright, if you don't know how to say polite things, then don't."
"It's not a big deal; I'm very happy to be able to help you."
"Although your mother cannot move her lower body at the moment, I believe that in the near future, she will definitely be able to walk on the ground."
Lin Xiaojin nodded heavily, biting her lips repeatedly.
Scalding tears slid uncontrollably down her cheeks.
She looked at the Qin Ge before her.
Her heart felt exceptionally bitter.
She knew how great a price Qin Ge had paid.
That was a special medicine developed specifically for business tycoons.
It was priceless and unavailable on the market!
If not for Qin Ge, she, Lin Xiaojin, would never have been able to make her mother move again in this lifetime!
"Ding! Host has completed Gambling Agreement Three. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Divine Ability 'Flesh to White Bone'!"
As the System's notification sounded, information about the Divine Ability flowed coolly into Qin Ge's mind.
Looking at Xu Ying again, Qin Ge's eyes were like X-ray vision.
Through the abnormal protrusions of her leg bones, he could clearly see the chaotic nerves and shattered bones in her legs.
In an instant, Qin Ge's medical skills increased tenfold, or even a hundredfold.
His medical arts were almost divine!
Even Chen Yuan, whose medical skills could surpass the giants of the Traditional Chinese Medicine world, was not even worthy of being his disciple's disciple in front of Qin Ge right now!
If Qin Ge wanted to, he could make Xu Ying's legs move within half an hour.
With at most a month or two of recuperation, he could make Xu Ying walk on the ground like a normal person.
"Ding! Gambling Agreement Four generated. If Daughter of Destiny Lin Xiaojin proactively confesses to the Host, the gamble fails and Physique points will no longer be deducted by 100. If the gamble succeeds, the Host is rewarded with one 100-consecutive-draw opportunity!"
Hiss… Even Qin Ge couldn't help but gasp in astonishment upon hearing the reward for Gambling Agreement Four.
A 100-consecutive-draw?
One hundred thousand villain points?
Although Lin Xiaojin hadn't provided a single villain point so far, the two Divine Abilities 'Immunity to All Poisons' and 'Flesh to White Bone', along with 'The Art of Restoring Life', were genuine 'superpowers'!
He had originally thought that Lin Xiaojin's potential ended there.
Who could have imagined that Lin Xiaojin wouldn't provide villain points, but once she did, it would be terrifying?
A 100-consecutive-draw opportunity, a reward of a full one hundred thousand points!
Qin Ge, who had originally intended to make a move, temporarily called it off.
At this moment, Lin Xiaojin's threshold for excitement had been raised too high.
Making a move at this time would instead diminish the excitement and thrill Lin Xiaojin should be feeling.
He would find an opportunity next time.
Let Xu Ying adapt to her current physical condition for this period.
Anyway, if he didn't intervene, Xu Ying would at most remain in this state for the rest of her life.
"Then I won't disturb you and your mother for now. I'll give you a day off tomorrow to take your mother out for a stroll."
Qin Ge smiled at Lin Xiaojin, then immediately left with Qiao Yingzi.
In Xu Ying's room, soon only the mother and daughter remained.
Lin Xiaojin gripped her mother's palm, saying excitedly, "Mom, Mr. Qin said he can make you stand up. Since he was able to cure your spine, he will definitely be able to cure your legs in the future."
Xu Ying was, after all, older and more experienced.
The excitement in her eyes had faded.
She simply stared at her daughter and asked with confusion, "Xiao Jin, do you like Mr. Qin?"
Lin Xiaojin was stunned by the question.
After a full half-minute, she slowly shook her head. "I… I don't know."
She muttered, unwilling to face reality, "Mom, what are you saying? Mr. Qin and I are not people from the same world."
Xu Ying rarely put on a stern face. "So, you think Mr. Qin has no intention of pursuing you?"
"That he simply finds our mother-daughter pair pitiful?"
"Are you planning to play dumb while knowing the truth, accepting Mr. Qin's kindness and help for no reason, refusing to respond directly, or perhaps, do you want to keep Mr. Qin on a string?"
For the first time in over a decade, Xu Ying flared up at Lin Xiaojin. "Lin Xiaojin! How did I teach you before? Now that you've entered society, you've started to learn bad habits, haven't you!?"
"The meal card, the home visits, and that special medicine, so expensive that we hadn't even heard of it."
"If Mr. Qin didn't like you, would he go to such lengths for you?"
"Mom would rather stay paralyzed than have you exploit Mr. Qin's kindness!"
Lin Xiaojin shook her head, refuting, "Mom, I'm not exploiting Mr. Qin!"
Xu Ying continued to press, her voice very cold. "Then Mom asks you, do you like Mr. Qin?"
Did she not like him?
Lin Xiaojin asked herself.
If she didn't like him, how could she have taken the initiative to massage Qin Ge and obediently put on silk stockings without being threatened?
Fulfilling all of Qin Ge's various requests?
Even when linking arms with Qin Ge, pretending not to notice when he took advantage of her by touching her bosom?
Lin Xiaojin pouted sadly, looking at her mother, and whispered earnestly, "Mom, I'm not worthy of Mr. Qin. By Mr. Qin's side, I'm just a burden. I can't help Mr. Qin with anything; I only take."
"I have already thought about how to repay Mr. Qin in this lifetime."
"As long as Mr. Qin is willing, I will never leave his side in this life."
Xu Ying looked at her sensible daughter, realizing she had misunderstood her daughter's meaning.
Tears rolled down her cheeks, and she choked out, "Mom is a useless person; Mom would rather suffer this grievance herself!"
Lin Xiaojin wiped the tears from her face, deliberately trying to make her mother laugh. "Mom, you're already quite old. I think you don't want to suffer this grievance, but rather you're planning to rob the cradle, right?"
