Full-Level Rich Daughter Makes a Strong Comeback Chapter 1006: Extending Her Lifespan

Chapter 1006: Extending Her Lifespan

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As Ye Wanwan listened, fear gripped her tighter. Her hands and feet turned ice-cold. Trying to steady herself, she asked, “Father, what do you mean?”

Though Ye Wanwan looked pitiful, Ye Hongxuan didn’t intend to hide the truth anymore. “In simple terms, your previous cultivation increase came at the cost of burning your life force. You took too many of those pills, so your organs are rapidly deteriorating. We previously thought it was from your injuries. But now it seemed those pills were the reason.”

Beside him, Lian Mengzhu’s eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing the explanation. She couldn’t fathom her daughter ending up like this.

She immediately glanced at Ye Wanwan, realizing if she herself was deeply affected, it must be even worse for Ye Wanwan.

As expected, Ye Wanwan was greatly shocked, refusing to believe it as she muttered, “No, it can’t be like this. Grandfather gave me those pills. He wouldn’t harm me!”

Ye Wanwan appeared frantic, as if refusing to accept the harsh truth could somehow change it.

Observing her distress, Ye Hongxuan felt a pang of sympathy. However, remembering his previous futile attempts to reason with her, he steeled himself and pressed on, “Wanwan, this is the reality. Denial won’t alter the outcome. If things continue like this, you won’t live past a year.”

“What?” Lian Mengzhu exclaimed, her voice filled with shock as she anxiously grasped Ye Hongxuan’s arm. “No, Hongxuan. Wanwan is our daughter, raised by us since childhood. We can’t just stand by and watch her die!”

Even Ye Wanwan gazed at him with pleading, hopeful eyes as if silently begging him to find a way to save her.

Glancing at his wife and daughter, Ye Hongxuan sighed deeply. “There’s no other way; it’s irreversible. Our only option is to use precious herbs to slowly repair your organs and delay deterioration, extending your lifespan.”

Hearing this, Lian Mengzhu breathed a sigh of relief. As a venerable family renowned for its tradition in alchemy with countless precious herbs, and her husband as the family head, they had the means.

Ye Wanwan also felt relieved, taking a deep breath as her expression relaxed, showing her calmness.

“But…” Ye Hongxuan continued seriously, “Even with many precious pills, it can only extend your lifespan to that of a normal human – not comparable to cultivators.”

Those words sent Lian Mengzhu and Ye Wanwan plummeting from ecstasy to despair in an instant. Lian Mengzhu gazed at Ye Wanwan, her heart throbbing painfully as tears gathered in her eyes, on the brink of falling.

Refusing to acknowledge this harsh reality, Ye Wanwan fought against it, clutching Ye Hongxuan’s arm desperately. “It can’t be true, Father! I’m still young, with my entire life ahead of me!”

Most people would be thrilled by this news, but for cultivators, even those with modest cultivation, a lifespan of over a century was expected. In the Hidden World where the spiritual energy was abundant, living less than a century was considered unacceptable.

Suddenly, an idea struck her. Urgently, she pleaded, “Father, I must regain my cultivation. Doesn’t cultivating also extend my lifespan? Please, you have to help me.”

Indeed, if she cultivated again, her lifespan would continue increasing like other cultivators.

Even Lian Mengzhu looked at Ye Hongxuan hopefully.

“Impossible.” Ye Hongxuan shook his head, delivering the harsh truth bluntly. “Wanwan can never cultivate again. I’ve checked her spiritual root has been extensively corroded, likely due to the pill’s side effects.”

Ye Wanwan’s hands went limp as her face turned pale. At that moment, she felt completely lost.

She blamed her grandfather for tricking her into taking those pills. She also blamed herself for ignoring her father’s warnings.

But above all, she despised Ye Lengan. She believed that Ye Lengan’s very existence was the cause of all this trouble. Without her, none of it would have happened.

Unaware of Ye Wanwan’s thoughts, Ye Hongxuan gently patted her shoulder. “Wanwan, don’t dwell on it. I’ll keep searching for ways to prolong your life as much as I can.”

Seeing Ye Wanwan’s pitiful state, Lian Mengzhu’s heart ached, but she swallowed her own sadness to comfort her daughter. After offering some more consoling words, Ye Hongxuan left the room.

The pills came from Ye Wanwan’s grandfather, although their exact source remained unclear. Nevertheless, they needed to inform Huangfu Ruiling about it. He sensed that this matter wasn’t as straightforward as it seemed.

Moreover, it might help in locating Ye Leng’an. Apart from Ye Leng’an being his biological daughter, he would never allow his father to ruin the Ye family. Ye Leng’an must be kept safe within it, at all costs.

With that determination, Ye Hongxuan hastened his pace. Soon after, Huangfu Ruiling received Ye Hongxuan’s message.
