Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 720

Chapter 720: Chapter 155: I’ve Chosen You

The head of the Ji Family paused, letting out a long sigh.

Ji Yaohua looked at his father, suddenly feeling he had aged several years.

"Old man, are you okay?" Ji Yaohua asked. Then, probing further, he questioned, "Are you hiding something from me? Is it about Pianpian?"

The head of the Ji Family looked at him and sighed again.

He walked back and sat by the chair. Feeling a pang of conscience, Ji Yaohua poured him a cup of tea and pushed it in front of him.

The family head took a sip of the tea, placed the cup down, and then said to Ji Yaohua, "Do you know why I never let Pianpian leave the family to train outside?"

Why was he bringing this up?

Although puzzled, Ji Yaohua shook his head. He used to think it was perhaps because his father was protective of Pianpian, being a girl, and couldn’t bear to see her suffer outside, so he kept her at home.

But now, judging from his father’s tone, it seemed that wasn’t the case.

"Pianpian... Pianpian almost died when she was born. You were only seven years old then, you might remember some of it," the head of the Ji Family began.

Ji Yaohua thought carefully and nodded.

The memories of being seven were already a bit fuzzy, but he still vaguely remembered that when his little sister was born, instead of joy, the faces of his family were clouded with worry.

At that time, it seemed, many pharmacists and pill masters came to the Ji Family.

It was then that his father became closely connected with those old guys at the East Continent Alchemy Academy.

Was it all because of Pianpian?

Ji Yaohua speculated in his heart, and the family head continued, "Pianpian was born with Nine Yin Extinct Vein and should have died long ago. But perhaps the heavens took pity; I sought medicine everywhere, and she has lived until now."

"Nine Yin Extinct Vein!" Ji Yaohua was shocked.

Although he didn’t quite understand what this Nine Yin Extinct Vein was, just hearing the name, he could tell it wasn’t good!

"What is Nine Yin Extinct Vein?" Ji Yaohua asked. At this point, his face no longer bore its usual smile but was rather heavy and grave.

The head of the Ji Family glanced at him before explaining, "Master Gucao from the Alchemy Institute said that a person’s body is a cycle of interconnected meridians of Nine Yin and Nine Yang to ensure vitality. Pianpian’s body, however, has eighteen yin meridians, disrupting the yin and yang balance, cutting out her vitality. This is why it’s called Nine Yin Extinct Vein. People affected by it cannot survive beyond three months. Your sister has lived until now, thanks to the Divine Level Elixirs, the Extreme Yang Pill, sent by Master Gucao every year to supplement her body’s yang energy."

Only now did Ji Yaohua seem to understand why his sister was weak and sickly as a child, always carrying elixirs and living in the warmest place in the family’s residence.

Even now, though no longer so frail, she must still take elixirs regularly.

"But, the Extreme Yang Pill only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Master Gucao stated when your sister was ten that she must marry before twenty-four and use the method of Dual Cultivation to adjust her meridian attributes, or she will certainly die at twenty-five. She is entering twenty-four this year; her twenty-fourth birthday is in six months." The family head finally revealed the urgent reason for marrying Ji Pianpian off.

Ji Yaohua felt his brain explode with a ’boom,’ as if his mind had shattered.

He confronted the family head, "There must be other ways, right?" His face paled; if he ruined this matchmaking and Ying Ze refused to marry Ji Pianpian, wouldn’t he be the one who killed his sister?

The family head slowly shook his head, "Master Gucao said that the only way now is Dual Cultivation, giving your sister a glimmer of hope. However... he once mentioned that if we could create an elixir from an ancient recipe known as the Devouring Yin Pill, it could completely cure your sister. Allegedly, this elixir can devour the excess yin meridians in the body and convert them into normal meridians."

"The Devouring Yin Pill? Can’t we ask Master Gucao to make it?" Ji Yaohua anxiously asked.

However, the family head shook his head with a bitter smile, "If that were feasible, would I still be desperate to marry Pianpian off? Master Gucao came up with Dual Cultivation as a necessity. The recipe for the Devouring Yin Pill was created by an ancient Dan God, and with that god’s demise, the recipe vanished. He scoured all the records in the Alchemy Academy to learn about this elixir, but without the recipe, it’s impossible to create."

Could this situation really be happening?

Ji Yaohua was dumbfounded, his whole body icy cold.

The family head, recovering from his heavy heart, said to Ji Yaohua, "So either you pressure that Ying Family son to marry your sister quickly, or you find a good man for her, ensuring this is solved before her twenty-fourth birthday."

Ji Yaohua’s gaze sharpened, and he turned and dashed out of the family head’s study.

...

Like a gust of wind, Ji Yaohua rushed back to his courtyard, barging into Ying Ze’s room and grabbing him by the collar, pulling him outside.

Ying Ze was startled, countered with a strike, and Ji Yaohua immediately retaliated, refusing to let go.

The two battled from inside the room to the outside, even alarming Mu Qingge.

"What are you two doing?" Mu Qingge frowned at the two entangled fighters and questioned.

Ying Ze took the opportunity to say to Mu Qingge, "Ask him!"

Mu Qingge looked at Ji Yaohua, noticing his dark expression, something was clearly wrong.

Without thinking, Mu Qingge flashed the Linglong Spear, stabbing it between them, forcing them apart.

Clang!

Mu Qingge, holding the Linglong Spear, planted it into the ground, staring coldly at the two. Finally, her clear gaze fixed on Ji Yaohua, asking, "What’s gotten into you?"

Ji Yaohua’s voice was hoarse, "I want him to marry Pianpian immediately!"

"You’ve gone mad!" Ying Ze snorted.

Ji Yaohua’s eyes blazed with anger, "Whether you want to or not, you will marry her!"

"Impossible!" Ying Ze coldly refused.

"You must marry her!" Ji Yaohua’s eyes were bloodshot as he gritted his teeth.

Mu Qingge frowned, unable to understand how Ji Yaohua had suddenly become unreasonable. Previously, he mentioned wanting them to develop feelings naturally and discuss marriage when they were both willing. How had things reversed so dramatically overnight?
