Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 723 - 722: Is the whole family demons?

Once the plague began, it spread rapidly. Even with doctors looking for the right medicine, there wasn’t necessarily a way to stop it.

Mianmian and Su Ji were children, unaware of the true meaning of the plague, until it was explained to them by adults.

"Then, those people, won’t they die very soon?"

Furrowing her little brows, Mianmian gazed at the sick people on the street and thought they were very pitiful.

She, too, had been a pitiful child for a while, after her parents and the villagers she knew died. In front of the bad guys, she had to pretend she liked them, crying only when she was alone and quietly.

Now... these people were about to die, did they have children? Would the children be as pitiful?

"Since it’s an illness, can it be treated?" Mianmian looked up at her parents, "There are many medicinal herbs in the Palace, there should be some that can cure the plague, right?"

Su Senqi and Jiang Yao didn’t know how to respond to Mianmian, because in their minds, the plague was incurable. Throughout history, there had never been a case of a plague treated successfully with medicine. Generally, the sick would be contained together, not allowed to leave, left to survive or perish on their own until the plague vanished.

Su Senqi, after all, was a man who felt he should tell his daughter the truth and, after hesitating, spoke of what he knew.

Upon hearing Su Senqi’s words, Mianmian fell silent once again.

The plague was a disease, yet it couldn’t be treated. Those who fell ill were abandoned by their own kind, left to fend for themselves.

How could this be? frёewebηovel.cѳm

Raising her hand, Mianmian released some spiritual power, "Can Mianmian save them with spiritual power?"

"You can," Liaoji suddenly spoke up at this moment, "You are a Spiritual Child, born with healing spiritual power. Only your spiritual power has such an effect and can save the suffering people. Little benefactor, are you willing to save these people?"

"Of course I am," Mianmian answered without hesitation, "Mianmian wants to save them. They haven’t done anything wrong, and Mianmian doesn’t want to see them become as pitiful as she was."

Upon hearing this, Liaoji’s gaze flickered.

Observing Mianmian in the Demon Realm was futile. Only by leaving the Demon Realm and seeing Mianmian treat the children of both races without prejudice was meaningful.

"Amitabha, well said, well said." Liaoji brought his hands together in prayer, "Little benefactor, just release your spiritual power here. I will go with Ling Xiao to find the source of the plague."

Liaoji left with Yun Xiao, searching throughout the town.

Having watched them go, Su Ji squatted in front of Mianmian with disbelief in his eyes: "Su Mianmian, have you forgotten the time we killed Wu Chenzi and played in the human towns? When Ling Xiao said we were demons, the people threw rotten vegetable leaves at us, have you forgotten?"

Blinking, Mianmian replied, "Was there such a thing?"

If Su Ji hadn’t mentioned it, she really would not have remembered! Mainly because her mind was filled with memorandums and studies lately, pushing those events to the farthest corners of her memory, not coming to the forefront unless she concentrated hard.

Seeing Mianmian like this, Su Ji realized she truly had forgotten.

He was speechless at Mianmian’s ability to remember food but not reprimands. With a poke on Mianmian’s forehead, he said, "So, let’s take this chance to go back to the Demon Realm now that they’ve left, and stop meddling in the Human Realm’s affairs. Even if you save these people, it’s not guaranteed that they will thank you."

Having listened to Su Ji’s suggestion, Mianmian looked once more at those lying on the ground in the street, unable to move.

There were too many sick people for anyone to carry those who had collapsed outside back home. They could only lie on the ground wailing. Not far off, a little child of about two years old clung to his mother’s side, howling loudly.

No one cared; everybody ignored them.

"Back then... it might have just been a misunderstanding, right?" Mianmian murmured to herself, "They saw you transform from a human into a fox, so their fear was quite normal. If, from the beginning, you had been a talking fox that went to save them, maybe their reaction would have been different."

Su Ji replied: "How could it be different? What’s the difference if I transform into a fox to save someone or if I change from a human into a fox? Isn’t it still me?"

"Let’s just try it, please, let’s try," Mianmian insisted seriously, staring into Su Ji’s face, "My parents can transform into foxes and help me save people while you hide and watch. If after being saved, they aren’t afraid of my parents being foxes, then we’ll continue to save them, how about that?"

Su Ji realized then that Mianmian simply wanted to save lives.

He had said his piece, and Mianmian still wanted to try, so there was nothing he could do.

"Fine, you try it then. Who would I be to stop the Demon Emperor?"

Mianmian giggled and started helping the person closest to her on the street who was afflicted by the grey qi of the plague.

As she transferred her spiritual power to him, a miracle occurred.

The grey qi surrounding the man on the ground seemed to be devoured by her spiritual power and, in a short while, vanished completely.

That person lying on the ground was named Liu Xi. In fact, he had a small bundle with him originally when he left his village, planning to find a job in the town for survival.

Many in the village suddenly became feverish, and after a few days, they died. After death, their bodies would turn black and rot, a terrifying sight.

Old folks said the illness resembled the plague and urged the young people to run far and not return to the village, to save their own lives.

Otherwise, once the plague fully erupted, everyone in the village would die.

Liu Xi didn’t want to die, so he heeded the elderly and ran towards the town. Initially intending to settle there, he fainted after only a few steps in the town. In his confusion, his bundle was stolen by the locals.

This plague forced people to lie conscious for two days before death, rotting afterwards.

This was Liu Xi’s second day lying on the ground, breathing shallowly. Knowing his end was near, he had been waiting for his final moments. Unexpectedly, his body was suddenly bathed in a warm current.

After two days of weakness, his body finally mustered some strength.

Liu Xi opened his eyes, wanting to see who had saved him.

The first thing he saw was a delicate little girl with a healthy glow to her, holding his hand and smiling at him.

"Are you awake? Are you all right?"

Liu Xi’s voice was hoarse as he managed to squeeze out a bit of sound, "Ah, yes."

After making a sound, he wept with joy, light returning to his eyes.

Mianmian then said, "Daddy, quickly give him some of our water to drink, his mouth is all dry."

Mianmian’s daddy at the moment, was Jiang Yao in the form of a male fox. Jiang Yao unfastened the water flask from his waist, handed it to Liu Xi’s mouth, and gently said, "Drink."

As Liu Xi was about to drink, he looked up and saw two fluffy white ears atop the head of the man offering him water.

Were this family, not humans, but demons?

Aghast, Liu Xi’s face was flooded with shock. He shrank back, no longer daring to accept the water to drink.
