Chapter 2

Qin Jian'an couldn't bear Second Madame's sobbing and hurriedly rushed to the Demon Slayer Department in the city.

 

The handsome Second Brother paced back and forth by the bedside, constantly blaming himself.

 

The gray-haired Physician Song, knowing he was of no use here, left behind a calming medicine recipe and took his leave.

Watching the weeping beauty, Qin Feng couldn't help but want to say something comforting. However, when the words reached his lips, he found himself resisting. It seemed that the previous owner of this body really disliked this mother-son duo.

 

Qin Feng cleared his throat and finally spoke, "Second Mother, please don't cry. I'm fine; I just woke up, and my head is a bit foggy. That's why I mistook the Second Brother and said some nonsense."

 

With these words, the sobbing stopped abruptly, and Qin An, who had been blaming himself, also looked up in astonishment.

 

"What did you call me?" Two voices sounded almost simultaneously.

 

Looking at the unbelieving expressions on the two, Qin Feng was utterly confused.

 

"Second Mother, Second Brother?" Qin Feng probed. Did he say something wrong? Wasn't this how you addressed people in ancient times?

 

Pa!

 

A crisp slap echoed. Qin Feng was dumbfounded, and Qin An was also bewildered.

 

"Mother, why did you hit me?" Qin An covered his cheek.

 

"Isn't this a dream?"

 

Meng Xue first looked happy, then seemed to realize something. She turned pale and said, "Feng'er must have had his soul taken away by that damned demon. Otherwise, why would he suddenly call me Second Mother when he hadn't spoken with us for over ten years?"

 

Before she could finish her sentence, tears flowed like rain.

 

Qin An sighed and comforted her, "Mother, Father has already gone to the Demon Slayer Department. When the Daoist from the Hundred Ghosts Dao Lineage arrives and investigates, we will know. Your crying like this won't help."

 

Qin Feng smirked. So that was what was going on.

 

The maid in a green dress had some insight. Sensing the heavy atmosphere in the room, she proactively brought a basin of hot water to the bedside, intending to wipe Qin Feng's face for him.

 

"I can do it myself," Qin Feng, who had never experienced this kind of treatment, felt uneasy. He took the towel, dipped it in the hot water, wrung it out, and wiped his face.

 

In the copper basin, the water was clear, reflecting Qin Feng's face—sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, remarkably similar to Qin An. However, he exuded a more masculine aura.

 

Not to mention anything else, just based on appearances, he seemed more suitable for martial arts, while Second Brother seemed more suited for literary pursuits. It was a pity that innate talent had little to do with one's appearance.

 

At that moment, Qin Feng noticed a golden light flashing in his eyes in the copper mirror!

 

But when he focused, the golden light had disappeared. Could he have been mistaken?

 

Qin Feng rubbed his forehead and stared for a moment, but he still looked like a normal person.

 

"Young Master, do you find the water dirty? Should I fetch another basin?" the maid beside him asked crisply.

 

"No need," Qin Feng shook his head. However, when he lifted his head, something unexpected happened.

Originally, she was a charming maid in a green dress, but at this moment, she appeared as a human silhouette. The flow of blood, the beating of the heart, the changes in the skeleton, the contraction of muscles inside the silhouette, were all so vividly visible.

 

Qin Feng couldn't believe what he was seeing. Then he heard a "yelp," pulling him back to reality. Everything in front of him returned to its original state.

 

Qing'er's face turned red with embarrassment. She glanced at Qin Feng and then bit her lip before hurriedly fleeing the room.

 

The other two people in the room wore shocked expressions.

 

"Big Brother, what are you doing?"

 

"Feng'er, you…" Second Mother covered her mouth, struggling to find words.

 

"I…" Just now, Qin Feng was too surprised by what he had seen, so without thinking, he had reached out and touched it!

 

"Big Brother." Qin An's expression was complex. Then he spoke with a serious tone, "I suggest that you preserve your chastity before reaching the seventh rank realm. It's beneficial for your cultivation."

 

Qin Feng opened his mouth, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. He knew that saying anything at this moment was meaningless.

 

But what exactly was going on? Why could he see through Qing'er's internal organs through her skin and flesh? Could this be the cheat he obtained by transmigrating—a X-ray vision?

 

But what's the use of a X-ray eye that can't penetrate clothes and can only penetrate flesh and blood? Am I only allowed to appreciate those "Boney" beauties? 

 

Thinking about this, Qin Feng shook his head regretfully.

 

Nevertheless, having such an ability was still better than having nothing at all. The key question was how he had activated this X-ray vision in the first place.

 

Qin Feng lowered his head in contemplation. He then concentrated his mind on his eyes, and a golden light flashed deep within his pupils. Everything in front of him seemed to change.

 

In the air, there were faint green spots, like fireflies, exceptionally beautiful.

 

He turned his head to look at Qin An, just like he had observed Qing'er earlier. He could see everything inside his body through his flesh, every subtle detail.

 

It had to be said that those practicing the Divine Martial Dao Lineage had much stronger blood energy and muscles than ordinary people.

 

The beating of Qin An's heart was powerful and steady with each beat. What surprised Qin Feng even more was the countless tiny golden veins within his muscles, extending in all directions and converging at his abdominal area.

 

What were those green spots in the air, and what were the golden veins in Second Brother's abdomen?

 

Qin Feng searched through the memories of the original owner but found no relevant information.

 

Just at this moment, a voice came from outside the room: "Madam, I've brought the dignitary from the Demon Slayer Department's Hundred Ghosts Dao Lineage. How is Feng'er doing now?"
