Lu Zhen was stunned by Mother Lu's painful scream, realising that her body had been injured. Her eyes bled as she clutched her head. In an instant, he moved at an unbelievable speed, reaching her within a picosecond.

Hurriedly, he delved into his sleeves and retrieved some paste.

"I guess practising with various pastes was useful, huh?" Lu Zhen immediately placed the paste in her mouth, gently forcing her to swallow it.

"Sigh, forgive me," Lu Zhen uttered, the best he could offer. He patiently waited for the paste to take effect. After two to three minutes, Mother Lu's screams gradually subsided, and her eyes stopped bleeding.

Huff! Huff!

Taking deep breaths, Mother Lu calmed herself. "Thank you," she managed to say before closing her eyes and sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"Sigh," Lu Zhen sighed with relief when he saw her condition stabilise. He stood there, carefully watching his mother's closed eyes as she meditated.
