If it was Evil Spirit Chocolate, everything had a reasonable explanation.
Because the Evil Spirit Chocolate had a great temptation for her, that’s why in that environment, she could only think about eating the chocolate and ultimately backstabbed herself.
Because she had eaten too much Evil Spirit Chocolate, it caused her cultivation to break through, which led her to fall into a mysterious coma, though her body showed no sign of issues.
But why would the Ghost-faced People do this?
Hua Jinyan suddenly thought of the restaurant’s formation, the Spiritual Bodies that approached were absorbed by the formation, which eventually enhanced the feng shui, making the restaurant a prospering shop. But this was just on the surface, what if a Ghost King was absorbed, would the Ghost King willingly become the "nourishment" for the formation?
So that package of chocolate wasn’t ordinary Evil Spirit Chocolate, it was likely made from a Ghost King, Little Taotie didn’t eat too much, but it was enough to boost her cultivation.
Which was even more baffling.
Why would the Ghost-faced People want to help Little Taotie enhance her cultivation?
Little Taotie and the Ghost-faced People were on opposite sides, why would an opponent help their enemy become stronger?
Gu Lanxin walked to Little Taotie’s bedside, squatting down, she gently touched Little Taotie’s cheek, "It’s all my fault, if I hadn’t given you the chocolate, you wouldn’t be in this coma."
Realizing that the increase in cultivation brought on by the Evil Spirit Chocolate caused the coma, Hua Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief, very calmly saying, "Don’t blame yourself, it’s a trap. If not you, it would have been someone else. Through someone else’s hand, the chocolate would have been given to her, it’s unpredictable."
Cheng Guodong and Qin Xin hurried to the hospital, entered the room, and saw the unconscious Little Taotie; both were frantic.
One went to find a doctor, the other stayed by Little Taotie’s bedside, muttering, Cheng Guodong’s eyes were red with urgency.
Hua Jinyan, noticing no one was paying attention, silently exited the hospital room and made a call to the boss.
When Shen Cang learned of Little Taotie’s coma, he put down the work at hand and stepped out of the Ancient Castle.
When Hua Jinyan returned to the hospital room, Shen Cang had already arrived there.
Hua Jinyan asked, "Did you... have your Soul Out of Body?"
Shen Cang indifferently replied, "No."
Hua Jinyan nodded, indicating understanding.
Shen Cang observed Little Taotie for a while under Cheng Guodong’s bloodshot gaze and shook his head, "She’s fine, she’ll be better when she wakes up."
Cheng Guodong was immensely relieved.
This person was the leader of the Special Department; he should not be mistaken.
He said it’s fine, so it must be fine.
Qin Xin summoned the hospital director, who was dragged along so hastily that his white coat was all crumpled.
The director’s eyes swept over to Shen Cang, hesitated, and subtly shifted away.
Clearly, the two knew each other.
But both tacitly pretended not to recognize each other.
"How is she, my sister, how is she? Director!" Qin Xin urgently pressed.
The director merely went through the motions, listened to her heartbeat with a stethoscope, and shook his head, "She’s fine."
Cheng Guodong grabbed his nearly frantic brother, whispering in his ear, "The one with the white hair, that’s the head of the Special Department, he said your sister is fine, she’ll be better when she wakes up."
"Do you believe it?" Qin Xin asked gravely.
"I do," Cheng Guodong whispered back, "he’s a big shot with Divine Skills."
Qin Xin pursed his lips, retracting the hand he had been about to grab the director’s collar with.
After all, the director had just listened with a stethoscope and declared it was fine, seeming like he was brushing them off, quite infuriating.
"I’m leaving," the director announced.
No one stopped him, and he quietly left, exiting the hospital room, narrowing his eyes, his gaze gradually becoming heavier.
Just a little one, her cultivation artificially accelerated, could it cause her body to burst? Never mind, since Shen Cang that old guy is here, I don’t need to worry.
