"I was stung by that poisonous spider during the last jungle mission. It’s nothing serious."
Second Brother turned his head slightly, unwilling to meet Qin Ling’s gaze.
After that accident, he had gone to their exclusive doctor at S Base on his own. There was no cure for the poison yet; the doctor could only try to develop an antidote.
But the toxin was slowly eroding his optic nerves. By the time the doctor actually developed an antidote, he would have already gone completely blind. It would be too late for anything.
All this time, he had been relying on his exceptional memory and the tiny bit of blurry vision he had left to get through daily life and missions.
But as the world in his eyes grew increasingly blurry, he was gradually starting to struggle.
He had already made up his mind. The day he went completely blind, he would voluntarily leave the team he loved so dearly.
’I’m no longer fit to be the Second Brother of this team. I don’t want to become a burden.’
"It’s already this bad, and you still say it’s nothing serious!" Qin Ling’s voice was laced with suppressed anger.
Everyone knew that the Boss only got this angry because he truly saw them as his brothers.
The surroundings fell silent. No one dared to even breathe too loudly.
"Come here. Sit down."
Tang Mo had, at some point, pulled a table and two chairs out of her Space.
She sat in one and placed the other across the table, motioning for Second Brother to sit down opposite her.
"Sister-in-law..."
Second Brother’s face was filled with disbelief. Even the best doctor at the base couldn’t do anything about his condition. ’How could Sister-in-law possibly have a solution?’
"She told you to sit, so hurry up and sit!"
Qin Ling gave him a push, and Second Brother dazedly sat down in the chair.
"Hold out your hand."
Actually, Tang Mo’s spiritual power healing didn’t require physical contact. However, if circumstances allowed, touching the other person’s body would speed up the treatment and make the whole process more convenient.
What Tang Mo was about to undertake was a major project, so naturally, she would do it in the most convenient way possible.
Tang Mo placed her hand on his, then guided her spiritual power to slowly enter Second Brother’s body, traveling from his nerve endings toward his eyes.
"Don’t resist. Just relax."
Allowing someone else’s spiritual power to enter one’s body was an extremely dangerous thing.
But at that moment, Second Brother could clearly feel a warmth spreading throughout him. The old injuries that used to ache incessantly were now bathed in that warmth. How could he even think of resisting?
He sat there obediently, not daring to move a muscle, allowing Tang Mo’s spiritual power to travel to his eyes and circle around them, performing its restorative work.
Everyone had formed a circle around Tang Mo’s table, watching their Sister-in-law work without blinking.
Qin Ling stood closest to Tang Mo, unwilling to even blink.
They say a person is most captivating when they are focused. In his eyes, Tang Mo seemed to be radiating light, more charming than anyone he had ever seen.
「About half an hour later,」
"Open your eyes. See how it feels."
Tang Mo withdrew her hand.
Second Brother forgot to even pull his arm back. He sat there, carefully opening his eyes, and looked at each of his brothers around him.
"I can see. I can see everything."
His voice was steady but tinged with a tremor as tears streamed from the corners of his eyes.
He had thought his life was ruined, but he never expected...
The usually composed Second Brother shot up from his chair, took a step back, and dropped to his knees before Tang Mo, kowtowing heavily.
"Sister-in-law, from now on, for anything at all, you need only say the word. I, Wu Yi, would brave mountains of blades and seas of fire for you, without a moment’s hesitation!"
It was a heavy oath, but it was worth it. More than worth it.
"Second Brother, get up first, you’re blocking the way. Sister-in-law, can you take a look at my leg? Can it be cured?"
The burly Lao San helped Wu Yi up, pushed him to the back, and quickly sat down in the chair in front of Tang Mo.
"Sister-in-law, me too! My back always hurts."
"Sister-in-law, their problems are minor, look at me! I dislocated my right arm before and set it myself, but it hasn’t healed properly."
"Sister-in-law, I..."
.........
The big group of guys had figured it out. Their Sister-in-law was practically omnipotent.
Not only could she lead them to a Crystal Stone Mine and let them have a massive haul...
She was also a miracle doctor!
She could even cure a condition like Second Brother’s. Was there anything their Sister-in-law couldn’t do?!
At first, everyone had been a little embarrassed to ask their Sister-in-law to treat them, but seeing Third Brother speak up first, they all started clamoring to report their own ailments, afraid they wouldn’t get a spot in line.
