Chapter 392: Father is Awake

Chapter 392

According to reason, once the offspring witch insect sensed danger, it would choose to continue hiding deeper into the human body. However, this offspring witch insect was different. It was like a startled little mouse, poking its head out tentatively, seemingly having lost its sense of direction. Although this phenomenon was unexplainable, on the surface it did not seem to be a bad thing. Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

"Husband, prepare a bottle and a pair of forceps."

Mo Jiuye instantly understood her meaning. He put aside the cotton ball and iodine tincture in his hand and swiftly fetched the items.

He Zhiran's expression was somewhat solemn. With her hand speed, the chances of successfully clipping the offspring witch insect out from the blood cavity were small. She could only place her hopes on Mo Jiuye. After all, he was a martial artist, so his actions must be faster than hers.

"Husband, you must be quick with this. Otherwise, I dare not guarantee where the offspring witch insect might burrow to."

The location was so close to the heart that if the offspring witch insect escaped towards that direction, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Even with such worries in mind, He Zhiran did not dare to speak it out. At such a critical juncture, she did not want to impose any psychological pressure on Mo Jiuye. If Mo Jiuye became too nervous and slipped up, it would not be worth it.

Mo Jiuye's thin lips were pursed tightly. He stared at the offspring witch insect that was still poking its head out tentatively for a few seconds before taking a deep breath, as if making up his mind about something important.

It was seen that he steadily grasped the forceps. Before He Zhiran could even clearly see his maneuver, the offspring witch insect had already been clipped by the forceps and swiftly placed into the bottle.

The offspring witch insect struggled desperately towards one direction inside the glass bottle.

The attentive He Zhiran noticed that no matter how Mo Jiuye rotated the glass bottle, the offspring witch insect always struggled towards Mo Jiuye's direction.

Seeing the state of the offspring witch insect, He Zhiran had a sudden realization.

"Husband, isn't the mother witch insect controlling this offspring witch insect on your body?"

Speaking of the mother witch insect, the witch insects collected from Si Meng were still being carried by Mo Jiuye.

Because the witch insect in his father's body had not been removed yet, Mo Jiuye was worried that if the witch insect controlling the offspring witch insect was not his father's life witch insect, then killing the wrong mother witch insect would be equivalent to indirectly killing his own father.

To be prudent, those mother witch insects had always been carefully kept by Mo Jiuye, not even daring to let them have any mishaps.

Now, seeing his father's situation, being cautious was the right approach.

This offspring witch insect yearned for its mother witch insect so eagerly. If anything unexpected happened to the mother witch insect, this offspring witch insect would likely commit suicide inside his father's body.

At the same time, Mo Jiuye also had another doubt in mind.

That was, he had taken six bottles containing mother witch insects from Si Meng, and he could confirm that those bottles all contained a living mother witch insect.

Now, the witch insects in his father and eldest and second brothers had all been removed. He could also confirm which three mother witch insects were controlling them.

"Father."

Mo Qing's eyelids were a little heavy. He only opened a slit.

The lighting in the carriage was not very good. Also, he had not seen Mo Jiuye for many years.

His impression of Mo Jiuye still remained at his youth. Therefore, seeing this magnified, handsome face before him, Mo Qing was stunned for a moment.

Mo Jiuye could tell his father's state at a glance and knew he might not recognize him.

"Father, I'm Jiuye. Look closely at me."

"You say you are Jiuye?" Mo Qing's voice was very soft and somewhat hoarse.

However, both Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran heard his words clearly.

Tears were already welling up in Mo Jiuye's eyes. He nodded with difficulty.

"Father, I am Jiuye. We haven't seen each other for eight years already."

Thinking back eight years ago, Mo Jiuye was still a thirteen-year-old little boy. It was understandable that Mo Qing did not recognize him.

The brothers outside the carriage, in order to let the ninth brother and sister concoct the antidote in peace, stayed close by the carriage without disturbing them.

Therefore, they could completely hear the conversation between Mo Jiuye and his father.

Eldest brother could not wait to open the carriage door.

"Ninth brother, has Father woken up?"

Seeing his father's still somewhat unbelieving expression, Mo Jiuye saw his eldest brother as if seeing a savior.

"Eldest brother, Father is awake. He doesn't recognize me. Please come explain to him that I'm Jiuye."

At this moment, eldest brother no longer had the mind to listen to the rest of Mo Jiuye's words. The only words in his mind were "Father is awake". Everything else had been automatically ignored by him.

"Father, you're awake?"

As for Mo Junrui, Mo Qing could still recognize him. Even though they had not seen each other for many years as father and son, Mo Junrui had already reached adulthood back then. So even if there were any changes to his appearance, it could not be as obvious as Mo Jiuye's change from a youth to an adult.

"Jun...Junrui..."

Speaking was still difficult for Mo Qing. The person before his eyes looked identical to his eldest son, but was much more haggard compared to his impressions.
