Chapter 162: What Did You Do To Me?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Sir? Sir?” Wei Wenqiang looked at Li Yidao with a perplexed expression and subconsciously glanced toward his grandson. He didn’t see anything unusual.
“When did he start to lose consciousness?” Li Yidao asked a question directly.
In response to Li Yidao’s question, Wei Wenqiang remained silent, but a woman next to the hospital bed spoke hurriedly, “It was a little after 3 PM today, he suddenly fainted. We’ve run all the tests, but we couldn’t find any underlying medical conditions.”
The woman didn’t naively ask who Li Yidao was because Wei Wenqiang had informed her earlier.
Li Yidao nodded gently and continued his inquiry while temporarily ignoring the gaze of the wedding-gowned woman who was looking at him. “Did he lose consciousness in the study on the second floor?”
Upon hearing Li Yidao’s question, the woman hesitated for a moment, seemingly trying to recall, then urgently replied, “Yes, it was in the study.
That’s where we found him. I had been looking for him for a while, but I never expected to find him collapsed in the study.” Her eyes displayed a hint of evasion.
“Does he often play in the study during normal days?” Li Yidao continued with a furrowed brow.
The woman shook her head, saying, “He never goes to the study during normal days. I don’t know how he managed to get in today. Besides, although the study isn’t locked, it’s almost impossible for a child to open it…”
Li Yidao nodded at this point, and his eyes regained their calmness. The fear he had experienced when facing the wedding-gowned woman had disappeared instantly, replaced by a serious and icy gaze.
If the maid was punished because she had broken off a piece of the inkstone, then in this case, it was highly likely that this little boy fell into such a state deliberately at the hands of the wedding- gowned woman.
Li Yidao could clearly see the faint red aura surrounding the small boy’s phantom form.
It was as if the boy was curled up in a fetal position, similar to how a baby develops in its mother’s womb for nine months.
The most crucial part was that the wedding-gowned woman had a red aura winding around her and binding the small boy’s ethereal form tightly.
They almost seemed as if they were merged into one.
“Please, kind sir, I beg you, please save my son! I’m begging you!” The woman continued sobbing, her voice trembling. “My little sweetheart is a good boy. Why did he suddenly become like this? Sob.”
The woman’s cries were incessant, and Wei Wenqiang, standing nearby, wore a deeply troubled expression.
He sighed helplessly. “Ah…”
“Sir, is there any hope left for my grandson?” Asking this question seemed to have drained Wei Wenqiang of all his strength.
He had exhausted every option in a short period of time.
Despite contacting numerous renowned doctors through advanced online consultations, none of them could provide a clear answer or suggestion.
The unanimous response was to observe and wait.
Out of desperation, he had turned to the old man.
Now, he realized that he had made the right choice. Whether his grandson lived or died was truly in the hands of Li Yidao.
It could be said that there were no other options left. According to the doctors, the child appeared to be in a comatose state with normal vital signs, but danger loomed—his life could stop at any moment.
Listening to Wei Wenqiang’s voice, Li Yidao turned to look at him calmly. Then his gaze shifted to the boy’s mother, and he looked deeply into her eyes. In a calm tone, he said, “You both should step outside.”
Just a moment ago, he noticed a detail, a detail that only he could see. The
woman in the wedding gown, the spirit entity, was intermittently watching the
boy’s mother.
Not only that, under Li Yidao’s Soul Detection, he detected a faint red aura behind the boy’s mother.
Li Yidao wouldn’t believe that this woman had no connection to the ethereal bride in any way.
In fact, he had a bold theory in his mind, but he needed confirmation before drawing any conclusions.
Wei Wenqiang didn’t hesitate when he heard Li Yidao’s request to leave. His eyes were filled with delight because he knew Li Yidao had agreed to help.
The only subtle hint of concern came from the boy’s mother, though she concealed it well.
Despite her adept masking, Li Yidao caught it—she was afraid. Afraid of her son being alone with Li Yidao.
But in the end, under Wei Wenqiang’s gaze, she had no choice but to follow him out of the ward.
She was very afraid of Wei Wenqiang.
As the door closed behind them, Li Yidao took a chair and sat down next to the boy’s bed, barely half a meter away from the ethereal bride who floated before him.
She had a mischievous smile on her lips as she watched him, seemingly curious about his intentions.
“I know you can see me, and you know I can see you. I also believe you can understand what I’m saying,” Li Yidao said calmly.
In reality, he had no idea if the entity could hear him, but he decided to play along.
If she could understand, it would reflect well on his abilities.
However, what surprised him was the entity’s reaction.
She hesitated, and her eyes displayed a clear sense of disdain, as if she were saying, “Are you ordering me?”
To be honest, when Li Yidao saw the entity’s vivid expressions, he was also taken aback.
Shortly after, he noticed that the bride’s gaze had become icy, and the faint red aura around her had grown more vivid.
Was she angry?
He realized that this bride might be a pitiful soul, but she was certainly no benevolent being.
If that was the case, he decided not to hold back. It was an excellent opportunity to test his Soul Seizure ability.
Soul Seizure!
30 years of lifespan consumed!
The Soul Gathering targeted at women consumed 3 years of his lifespan.
However, tne application or soul seizure was ten times tne cost.
Thirty years!
He had no problem handling the loss.
As Li Yidao activated the Soul Seizure ability, he sensed a strange feeling, as if there was something unique within his mental energy.
It was as if his thoughts could now control the bride before him.
He gazed at her impassively, and the bride, who had previously displayed arrogance and anger, now exhibited an expression of terror.
Her eyes were filled with an incredible sense of fear, as if she were desperately trying to move her own form.
However, no matter how hard she struggled, there was no possibility of any movement.
At the same time, Li Yidao felt a transfer of consciousness, as if she were asking, “What…. have you done to me?”
