Chapter 488 Saving Qiao Changdong

Driving from Hongfeng Town to Nanshi, even without sleeping or stopping, would take nearly 36 hours.

Qiao Changdong was seriously injured and naturally couldn't drive there like that, otherwise he might be dead by the time Qiao Qiao arrived.

Since they didn't know the exact location, Huanhuan couldn't teleport Qiao Qiao there directly.

Pei Anting took Qiao Qiao to Jiangling City, and Shen Qingyan arranged for a military helicopter to come over. Finally, within three hours, Qiao Qiao arrived in Nanshi before dark.

Shen Qingyan was already waiting outside the airport.

As soon as Qiao Qiao was lifted down by Pei Anting, he immediately came to greet her.

Shen Qingyan was also taken aback when he saw his daughter, who was only about one year old.

He never expected that his daughter would change so much in just four days since he and Qiao Changdong left.

"Daddy, is Daddy alright?" Qiao Qiao asked impatiently as Shen Qingyan held her in his arms.

"I'm still in the critical period. The doctor said that if I can get through tonight, I'll be fine," Shen Qingyan said with a somber expression, without hiding anything.

He called Qiao Qiao over so that she could use her spiritual power to heal Qiao Changdong directly.

They secretly attacked Fu Tianyou without Qiao Qiao's knowledge, so as not to let her waste any more spiritual energy.

They didn't know before that Qiao Qiao needed to undergo a tribulation of lightning to transform into an egg.

After they found out, they really didn't want to use her spiritual power anymore, fearing that she would be unable to survive the tribulation due to a lack of spiritual power.

But Shen Qingyan also knew that Qiao Qiao would never care about this little bit of spiritual power compared to Qiao Changdong's safety.

It's even highly possible that she would be willing to give up all her cultivation to save Qiao Changdong's life.

So after Qiao Changdong was seriously injured and fell into a coma, Shen Qingyan took Qiao Qiao in without any hesitation.

Sure enough, upon hearing Shen Qingyan's words, Qiao Qiao immediately said anxiously, "Dad, take me there quickly!"

"Okay." Shen Qingyan didn't delay and got into his car with Qiao Qiao and Pei Anting.

Yan Liti didn't come along because the plane couldn't fit that many people.

The giant tortoise, on the other hand, would automatically teleport to Qiao Qiao's side whenever she called its name in her mind.

When they arrived at the hospital where Qiao Changdong was staying, the entire hospital was under security.

As Shen Qingyan carried Qiao Qiao inside, he didn't forget to continue exchanging information with Pei Anting.

"So he's hiding in that forest right now, and you can't do anything about him for the time being?" Pei Anting's tone was somewhat grave.

"Yes, that forest is quite special. It's a primeval forest that no one has ever ventured into before. Even when I was on a mission back then, I only operated on the outer perimeter and didn't go deep inside."

"The entire forest is about 3,000 square kilometers. The terrain is very steep and there are many poisonous insects and wild beasts. We cannot just venture in without thorough preparation."

After all, their lives matter too, and they cannot be sacrificed so rashly.

So after the other party injured Qiao Changdong and took Jiang Min to hide in the mountains, they were helpless.

Moreover, there is now a very thorny problem: the dozens of children that Fu Tianyou bought back then have also been lost by Fu Tianyou using a smokescreen, and they have no idea where those children have been moved to.

As the three of them walked quickly to the ward door while talking, Meng Zhengcheng, who had been waiting at the door, immediately stood up to greet them.

Qiao Qiao didn't listen to what Shen Qingyan and Pei Anting were saying at all. As soon as she arrived at the hospital, she used her spiritual sense to find Qiao Changdong.

It was like a dream come true.

Qiao Changdong had a deep incision on his face, deep enough to expose the bone.

But his fatal wound was not the one on his head, but the black aura surrounding him that was slowly eroding his life force.

Looking at Qiao Changdong like this, Qiao Qiao felt her heart was breaking.

Xiao Yuan had already slipped through the crack in the door of the observation room.

The spiritual energy was poured into him relentlessly.

Not only did Xiao Yuan transfer spiritual energy, but he also used himself as a showerhead, bringing out a lot of spiritual spring water from Qiao Qiao's bracelet space and sprinkling it all over Qiao Changdong's body until all the black energy surrounding him dissipated.

This time, Qiao Qiao didn't ask the giant tortoise for help. Instead, she used half of her spiritual power to pull Qiao Changdong back from the brink of death.

Qiao Qiao originally thought that after dispersing so much spiritual energy, she would definitely faint.

But to her surprise, not only did she not receive any spiritual energy, but the more spiritual energy she scattered onto Qiao Changdong, the more spiritual energy surged in from all directions and entered her body.

"Why is this happening?" Qiao Qiao asked in surprise.

Even in the bracelet's space, which contained spiritual energy collected for her by her mother, she had never felt such abundant spiritual energy as she did now.

Qiao Qiao didn't rush to summon the giant tortoise, so naturally no one answered her questions.

With Qiao Qiao's spiritual power, Qiao Changdong was quickly out of danger.

However, the person still hadn't woken up, and Qiao Qiao couldn't go in either. But she didn't want to leave, so Shen Qingyan could only hold her and let her rest in the ordinary ward that had been booked in advance.

Qiao Qiao didn't ask any further questions about Qiao Changdong and Shen Qingyan's secret trip to deal with Fu Tianyou.

Because she knew without asking that they were definitely doing it for her own good.

The whole family knew what the giant tortoise had told her—that she needed to undergo a tribulation of lightning to advance to the Golden Core stage.

Even Pei Yiyang refused her offer to occasionally transfer spiritual energy to him, even though the amount of spiritual energy she transferred was like a drop of rain in the ocean.

Pei Yiyang said that she was undergoing a heavenly tribulation, and they were just ordinary people. They were already annoyed that they couldn't help her, so naturally they couldn't hold her back.

After all, no one can say for sure whether that tiny bit of spiritual energy, like raindrops, is the key to her overcoming the heavenly tribulation.

Therefore, Qiao Changdong and Shen Qingyan tacitly kept this matter from Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Changdong regained consciousness around 10 a.m. on June 2nd, and the doctor announced that he was out of danger.

Although everyone already knew this would be the outcome, they still breathed a heavy sigh of relief when they heard the doctor announce it.

Qiao Changdong was moved to a regular ward.

It is a private ward.

His face was wrapped in thick gauze, with only his eyes showing, making him look like a mummy.

Qiao Qiao was carried to the ward by Shen Qingyan. Looking at Qiao Changdong lying on the hospital bed and looking at her, she didn't say anything. But when Shen Qingyan put her on the hospital bed, she snuggled into Qiao Changdong's arms like a caterpillar.

The little head was pressed against his chest, listening to the rapid heartbeat coming from his chest cavity.

"I'm sorry, did Daddy scare you?"

Qiao Changdong only had injuries on his face, not on his body. Looking at the little girl curled up in his arms, such a small bundle, she seemed even smaller now. He unconsciously reached out and pulled her closer, holding her even tighter.
