Chapter 161: Don't Tell Me He Wants My Body!!
"I could treat him if you want."
Just as she let out a sigh, she heard words that rekindled a spark of hope in her heart.
Her eyes widened with a glimmer of disbelief as she looked at Chen Tian.
"W-What did you say?" She stammered, unable to fully comprehend the offer.
Chen Tian repeated himself, his voice filled with determination, "I said I could treat him if you want."
She was flooded with emotions. She and her family had spent months searching for a cure for her grandfather's illness, but they had been unsuccessful.
Her father explained that the only way to help her grandfather was to seek assistance from individuals who had surpassed the abilities of Divine Martial Artists and had entered a realm that lay beyond their comprehension.
The issue was that even with the support of her father, who possessed the family's considerable resources and an esteemed reputation in the world of martial arts, they lacked the connections needed to reach these individuals.
The idea that someone could potentially help them now seemed almost too good to be true.
She hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to trust Chen Tian with such a crucial thing.
But deep down, she knew that she had nothing to lose by giving Chen Tian a chance.
With a hopeful gleam in her eyes, she nodded and whispered, "Please, I-I'll do anything you ask if you can help my grandfather."
A cunning grin crossed Chen Tian's thoughts as he noticed the desperation in her eyes.
That's what he required!
He looked at Ming Ming's body from head to toe, his gaze lingering on her chest for a moment before he finally spoke.
Of course, his gaze didn't go unnoticed by Ming Ming; a deep blush crept up her cheeks, causing her face to turn a shade of pink.
"Don't tell me he wants my body!!" Ming Ming thought to herself in a panic. She had heard stories of men taking advantage of young women in desperate situations.
"D-Don't tell me it's that kind of situation," she stammered, her inner heart racing.
Ming-Ming's blush deepened, but she couldn't help but feel embarrassed and vulnerable.
The weirdest part is that she didn't dislike Chen Tian's gaze; in fact, she found it strangely comforting.
Ming Ming couldn't explain why, but if it was someone else looking at her in such a way, she would have probably taken his eyes out or buried him in the ground.
But with Chen Tian, it was different.
Since she spent most of her time at her grandfather's side, she had the strongest bond with him within the family. What's more, due to her grandfather's guidance, she had developed a profound love for martial arts.
Like any girl, she always dreamed of having a strong and protective figure in her life, and Chen Tian fit that description perfectly.
His intense gaze made her feel safe and cared for, as if nothing could harm her as long as he was around.
And Ming Ming couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging whenever he looked at her with those piercing eyes.
Not to mention that Chen Tian is still young and has the same level of strength as her grandfather, a Divine martial artist.
His future was limitless.
Unknown to her that Chen Tian is not a Martial artist, but a true cultivator that is comparable to those who transcended the level of divinity.
She quickly averted her eyes, feeling a mixture of embarrassment and relief.
As for Chen Tian, he had different thoughts as he gazed at Ming Ming's body.
Because Chen Tian uses his Meridian Opening Qi to disguise himself, no one would be able to see his disguise unless that person was a Core Formation Realm expert.
That's why Ming Ming didn't notice a blue glow in Chen Tian's eyes as he observed her.
Using Chaos Insight, Chen Tian was checking her body; he was quite curious about how the people on earth cultivated.
"Interestingly, the energy of Heaven and Earth is circulating inside her body like any other cultivator.
Maybe I can ask her about any more information regarding her cultivation techniques," thought Chen Tian.
He also has many places to visit on this earth; last time it was Mount Kunlun, and he got the lightning crystal, the Eternal Celestial Sword Art, and many other treasures.
"Perhaps this time I can explore a different place; maybe there are places that I don't know about yet and aren't shown to the public. It would be better if I had some intel before going to such dangerous locations."
"Don't worry, I really can cure your grandfather."
With that, Chen Tian decided to help Mingyu's grandfather recover from his illness, and he was also intrigued by who could put such a curse in the mortal world.
"R-Really" Ming Ming doubted if Chen Tian could cure her grandfather, but remembering that he was a young Divine Martial Artist, her curiosity was piqued.
Maybe he has something that could help her grandfather recover.
With determination in her eyes, she decided to trust Chen Tian and give him a chance to heal her grandfather.
"Please help my grandfather," she pleaded, her voice filled with desperation and hope.
'E-Even if you want m-my body,'
Of course, Ming Ming said the last part in her mind, too embarrassed to vocalize such a thought.
She was willing to do whatever it took to save her grandfather, but she hoped that Chen Tian would understand that her intentions were pure.
Chen Tian nodded. "Don't worry, he will be fine."
Deciding to help Ming Ming's grandfather, Chen Tian approached the old man who was lying in his bed.
Even after all that happened here, the old man didn't even open his eyes.
"Mm, when did he start showing these symptoms?" Chen Tian asked, his voice filled with calmness.
"It's been five months; he suddenly started feeling weak and fatigued," Ming Ming replied, her voice filled with concern.
"The doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, and his condition just kept deteriorating."
Chen Tian gently placed his hand on the old man's forehead; his eyes closed in deep concentration.
"The curse inside his body is taking all of his strength and life," Chen Tian thought in his mind.
"Did he bring some new object to the house or anything that you thought could have caused this?" Chen Tian asked, trying to gather more information.
Ming Ming shook her head, her worry evident in her eyes. "No, nothing out of the ordinary," she replied.
Chen Tian sighed and started to channel his energy inside the old man's body.
This type of course is known for draining the life force of its victims, leaving them weak and debilitated.
Chen Tian knew he had to act quickly to reverse the effects.
"Locating the source of this curse is a problem if I don't have divine sense unlocked yet; lucky for me, I have Chaos Insight," Chen Tian thought to himself as he continued to concentrate his energy.
Divine sense was an advanced type of spiritual sense, but unlike spiritual sense, which is limited only to the Qi inside one cultivator.
Divine Sense allowed Chen Tian to perceive and interact with the spiritual energy of the world around him.
Spiritual sense typically refers to an individual's heightened awareness or perception of spiritual aspects of existence.
Spiritual sense can include the ability to perceive energies, auras, or vibrations that are not necessarily visible to the ordinary physical senses, but it was still limited.
As for Divine sense, it allows cultivators to perceive the world around them on a much deeper level than ordinary people.
They can sense energies, auras, and even the emotions and intentions of others.
It goes beyond the five physical senses and taps into a sixth sense.
This awareness can extend to great distances, allowing cultivators to detect events or presences far away.
In combat situations, divine sense can be used to detect an opponent's movements and intentions, giving the cultivator an advantage in battle.
It can also serve as a form of defense by alerting the cultivator to danger.
Cultivators also use their divine sense to communicate with other cultivators on a telepathic level.
This can include speaking with spirits, animals, etc.
The problem with unlocking his Divine Sense, Chen Tian needs to at least enter the Core Formation Realm; only then can he have access to his soul and unlock his divine sense.
But there was still a long journey ahead for Chen Tian to reach the Core Formation Realm.
That is why he was lucky that he had Chaos Insight to help him locate the curse source; otherwise, it would have taken him a lot longer to help the old.
"Found it!!"
After a couple of moments, using Chaos Insight, Chen Tian was finally able to pinpoint the exact location of the curse source.
"Fucking Bastard, stop!"
Just as he was about to start removing the curse, a shout that sounded like thunder echoed through the hospital room.
