The news felt like a lightning on a clear day that strike directly on the target. Hearing what Traveling Doctor Liu said, Feng Qian Bo felt like his heart shattered in that instant.
"This…"
"The parasite has been in her body for at least 15 to 20 years. It has already sucked off enough life force from her." Traveling Doctor Liu was silent for a while. "Also, because the parasites didn't grow that fast or it's being transferred away, she has been able to survive with that flower all this time."
"Transferred away?" Feng Qian Bo had a bad feeling.
Traveling Doctor Liu looked at Feng Qian Bo. "Her children should have the parasites mixed within their cells in their bodies and can't be removed for life."
Feng Qian Bo felt his entire world collapsed when he heard that.
"Also, I might need to check on you because you have relationship with her."
"I… understand."
After thorough checking on everyone in Feng Qian Bo's residence, the news that Traveling Doctor brought was devastating. The parasites were in all of them at various degree and had been affecting their lives. Even though it would not kill them as fast as Lin Qiang, their lifespan would have greatly decreased.
Even if they tried to supply enough blood and Qi, they wouldn't be able to live as long as they used to be.
"Did it also affect the others?" Feng Qian Shao asked worriedly. He was thinking if the parasite could also be transmitted through air or through food, would it be possible for him to be affected.
Traveling Doctor Liu looked at the general speechlessly. "No, it's not possible to transmit through air. If you want to, I can check your pulse."
"Please."
Seeing his own father acting so scared, Feng Ao Kuai felt like dragging his father away. Thankfully, it was just like what Traveling Doctor Liu said, only Feng Qian Bo, his wives, and children who were affected.
Nan Hua watched from the sides as she saw them crying so mournfully as if it was the end of the world. Her eyes were following her Master's movement as he prescribed some medicine for them.
"Commander Feng." Traveling Doctor Liu looked at the commander. "While it's possible for me to take the parasites out of you and your wives, your children will never be able to fully recover."
Feng Qian Bo was already hammered until he was flat with the ground. Hearing Traveling Doctor Liu's words, he no longer collapsed.
"Are you saying that it'll affect their health?"
"Feng Mo Yue is the one with the least effect since apparently, she's not affected that much and wouldn't show any reaction until she's old where she might be more prone to sickness. Feng Mo Xing might not be able to live past 20 years old. The other two children might not be able to live past 40," Traveling Doctor Liu looked at Feng Qian Bo and reported truthfully.
Feng Qian Bo let out a desperate laugh when he heard that. To think that his family would be in such situation because of his foolish mistake. Why did he even fall in love with a woman who ended up destroying him and his family?
"How about me and my main wife?"
"Commander Feng is still healthy and the parasites can't affect you. However, Madam Lu might only be able to live for at most 15 to 20 more years if she can maintain her health," Traveling Doctor Liu continued.
Madam Lu was Feng Qian Bo's main wife from Lu Family. Her family was also quite influential in Wind City but not as much as Feng Family. Feng Qian Bo originally didn't want her to know about this matter, but because this also affect them, he had no other choice but to tell her.
The atmosphere was gloomy in Feng Family Residence.
In the morning, Lin Qiang and Feng Qian Bo talked with each other. It was unknown what they were talking about but the servants heard that Lin Qiang committed suicide in the end.
Feng Qian Bo never told the true reason nor the fact that the entire family was affected by the parasites to anyone.
The children were not told.
They were all still very small. If they heard that they wouldn't be able to live long at such young and tender age, he couldn't imagine how it would impact them.
The operation would only be done the next day.
They rested for the night.
When they returned to Feng Qian Shao's Residence, Old Master Nan told almost everything to his daughter while the others talked to Nan Luo and Feng Ao Si who were waiting.
"There's actually a parasite that can live in human's body?" Nan Luo felt sick just from hearing that.
Nan Hua looked at her twin brother. Honestly, there were countless parasites that could live in human's body and killed them from within. However, she didn't feel like telling her twin brother about those.
Feng Ao Kuai nodded. "Make sure you're be careful when you visit Zhang Xu Kingdom in the future."
Nan Luo nodded. "Are we going to have a fight with them?"
"Maybe."
"Ah?"
"Emperor Huan dreamt of uniting the entire land under one rule." Feng Ao Kuai was silent for a moment. In truth, everyone who heard the Emperor talked about this in the past was saying that he was dreaming.
Every kingdom was all very powerful, making it impossible for them to defeat them easily. Also, if they attacked one kingdom, would the other kingdoms even stayed silent?
Thus, if they really wanted to defeat all of them, they would need elaborate strategy.
It was not helping that Fei Yang Kingdom bordered three kingdoms all at once with one of them was practically the largest.
"But that dream never come true, right?" Feng Ao Si tilted his head.
Feng Ao Kuai nodded. "Yes, but don't you think that the person who will inherit and have the same dream appear?"
"Huh?"
Nan Luo pursed his lips. That person had already appeared.. Their current emperor was currently building his power in the Capital City in order to achieve this very dream.
