Chapter 43 Self-creation and self-extinction
After hearing Shen Feng's words.
Embracing his arm, Zheng Linyi's face turned rosily red. She pouted her lips slightly and said in a voice as low as a mosquito's, "Big brother, as long as you are willing to save my dad, I'll listen to anything you say. I don't dislike you at all! You have a kind of comfortable feeling about you."
Perhaps Shen Feng was a cultivator, and she was a Spirit Storage Body, which might be why she felt a different kind of feeling towards Shen Feng.
It was clear the girl had misunderstood the situation. Just as Shen Feng was about to clarify, Zheng Wanqing spoke with a trace of anger, "You're taking advantage of our misfortune. My sister is still young, how can you make such a demand?"
Shen Feng was annoyed by Zheng Wanqing's attitude and couldn't be bothered to explain anymore, saying, "What requests I make is my business. As for whether you accept them, that's your business—isn't it? Have I forced you to agree?"
Zheng Linyi immediately grabbed hold of the incensed Zheng Wanqing and said, "The most important thing right now is to get dad back to health."
The doctors had said before that the patient could only hope to wake up depending on his own willpower after suffering severe head trauma, which meant their father might never wake up for the rest of his life.
Thinking of her father's condition, Zheng Wanqing immediately fell silent. After several seconds, she gritted her teeth and said, "My sister is too young. I can take her place."
Shen Feng casually smiled and said, "It's not up to you to decide who takes whose place."
"Let's go! Take me to see the situation first and prepare a cash check for ten million."
Zheng Linyi led Shen Feng through the hospital, while Zheng Wanqing angrily called their grandfather in the ward.
After arriving at Zheng Xiangming's VIP ward.
Zheng Hongyuan and his younger son, Zheng Wenmao, were already waiting. Although they had previously learned that Shen Feng was a young man, they were still taken aback to see Shen Feng looking so youthful, like a freshman in college.
After entering the ward, Shen Feng didn't immediately look at the comatose Zheng Xiangming but fixed his gaze on Zheng Hongyuan and Zheng Wenmao instead.
He saw them wearing black jade pendants around their necks and could clearly feel that they were made of Ghost Jade. He couldn't help asking, "Where did you get those black jade pendants around your necks?"
Since Zheng Hongyuan had recovered his health from Shen Feng's medicine, he was grateful to Shen Feng in his heart.
However, Zheng Wenmao furrowed his brows deeply. Now that his second elder brother had died, they still had to go back to discuss the funeral arrangements.
If his eldest brother Zheng Xiangming also died, then all of the Zheng Family's wealth would be his afterwards.
Now that Zheng Linyi and Zheng Wanqing had found Shen Feng, he felt an innate repulsion in his heart.
"Big brother, it was many years ago. My grandfather bought a piece of black jade at an auction for two hundred million. This type of jade had never been seen before in the world and was said to have been blessed by a high monk."
"Later, my grandfather had this piece of jade made into four jade pendants. My grandfather, my dad, my second uncle, and my young uncle each wore one."
Zheng Linyi answered Shen Feng's question.
Shen Feng now understood why the road outside the hospital suddenly collapsed. Even if there was Ghost Jade beneath the surface, it shouldn't have collapsed so suddenly. He was puzzled about this issue!
Now the whole truth unfolded before him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ghost Jade resonates with other Ghost Jade, so the collapse of the road surface was caused by the Zheng family members. The Ghost Jade they wore triggered the resonance of the Ghost Jade beneath the road, causing it to collapse without any warning.
Wearing Ghost Jade all the time would gradually absorb the life force from an ordinary person. Once the life force is depleted, people would naturally fall ill with various diseases.
Shen Feng could feel that the Ghost Jade carried by Zheng Hongyuan and the others was relatively weak, which was why they were still alive until today.
It seemed that Zheng Hongyuan's previous illness was related to the Ghost Jade he wore.
His condition was very likely caused by the Ghost Jade.
Of course, apart from absorbing the life force from ordinary people, the Ghost Jade can enhance their fortune, allowing them to succeed smoothly in many aspects. This is essentially exchanging one's life force for fortune.
However, the Ghost Jade does not affect the fortune of cultivators. Once one embarks on the path of cultivation, their fortune will begin to change in myriad ways.
"May I know how to address this esteemed person? It was your medicine that saved my life previously. Here is a cash cheque for ten million." Zheng Hongyuan asked cautiously.
Shen Feng casually accepted the cheque and walked over to the unconscious Zheng Xiangming. "Is my name that important? Let me check his condition first."
A wave of embarrassment washed over Zheng Hongyuan's aged face, and a hint of anger began to bubble within him. After all, he was the Family Head of the Zheng Family and was considered a significant figure in Wuzhou.
Shen Feng placed his finger on Zheng Xiangming's forehead and carefully sensed the condition inside his body.
After a period of sensing, he did not detect any major issues. He squeezed out a few strands of Spiritual Energy from within his body. Since he would be able to absorb a large amount of Spiritual Energy tonight, using up a few strands now was inconsequential. He still needed to make use of Zheng Linyi's Spirit Storage Body!
Zheng Xiangming's brain was only subjected to a fierce impact. With these strands of Spiritual Energy slowly permeating his brain, he should wake up in the next couple of days.
Of course, without these strands of Spiritual Energy, it would have taken Zheng Xiangming a much longer time to regain consciousness.
Removing his finger from Zheng Xiangming's forehead, Shen Feng said, "He will wake up on his own within two days."
"I've treated him, so there won't be any accidents afterward."
Shen Feng glanced at Zheng Hongyuan and reminded him, "You'd better throw away all the Jade Pendants you are wearing. This car accident was caused by you, and the source of the disaster stems entirely from the Jade Pendants you wear."

Zheng Hongyuan and Zheng Wenmao were stunned. They saw Shen Feng just touching Zheng Xiangming's forehead, and that was treatment?
Although the previous medicine was miraculous, Zheng Hongyuan couldn't help but feel skeptical.
You should know that after they started wearing the Jade Pendants, the Zheng Family's fortunes improved significantly. Once when they all did not have their Jade Pendants on, the Zheng Family immediately encountered various misfortunes.
After putting the Jade Pendants back on, the Zheng Family's fortunes turned around again. Hence, Zheng Hongyuan and the others deeply believed in the Jade Pendants they wore. At one point, other major families in Wuzhou offered a high price for two pieces, but the Zheng Family refused outright.
Seeing this, Zheng Wenmao sternly said, "Nonsense, to claim that the previous car accident was caused by Jade Pendants? Are you suggesting that even the road collapse was also caused by Jade Pendants? These Jade Pendants are treasures of the Zheng Family, yet you say they are the source of disaster?"
"I think the previous bottle of medicine that awoke my father was just a fluke, like a blind cat running into a dead mouse. You merely touched my elder brother's forehead just now, is that what you call treatment? Earning ten million that way is too easy, isn't it?"
Shen Feng's brow furrowed. He has never liked the feeling of warm gestures against cold indifference. Very well, if that was the case, he might as well let them fend for themselves.
Zheng Hongyuan was utterly convinced of the Jade Pendant he wore and certainly had no intention of throwing it away. However, he considered his life saved by the previous medicine, so he treated the ten million paid as purchasing the medicine and said no more, his expression cooling down.
Shen Feng snorted coldly and walked straight out of the ward.
As Zheng Linyi and Zheng Wanqing attempted to follow, Zheng Wenmao barked, "Stay right there!"
Zheng Linyi had already stepped out of the ward when Shen Feng said, "Nine o'clock tonight, I'll be waiting for you at the hospital entrance."
Zheng Wenmao chased after her, not having heard Shen Feng's words, he shouted at Zheng Linyi, "Have you stopped considering me an elder? Look at your attitude! Do you really think your father will wake up within two days without any medication or anything, just because he touched your father's forehead?"
"Come back inside now, your grandfather has something to say."
