With that thought in mind, Ling Zhenfei used his hand to hold the glass jar and transferred the only bit of Spiritual Power he could still muster into the jar. Since the Ironclad Spirit-eating Insect enjoyed devouring Northern Spiritual Energy, he would use Northern Spiritual Energy to lure the insect out.

Sure enough, once Ling Zhenfei infused Northern Spiritual Energy into it, the insect indeed detected the scent of Northern Spiritual Energy. Xiao Kunkun's body had nearly been depleted of Northern Spiritual Energy and Essence Qi, making Ling Zhenfei's Spiritual Power seem like bait. Moreover, with Xiao Kunkun's body as hot as if on fire, the insect could no longer stay inside.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, with dozens of cameras capturing the entire event, from the small opening in the skin made by Divine Doctor Ling's Silver Needle, some dark red blood flowed out. Then something could be seen frantically writhing beneath the skin—a black object slowly pushed through and burst out.

Everyone was stunned. The scene just now was truly bizarre. Who could have imagined that such a strange insect existed inside Xiao Kunkun's body?

"What is that thing, a bug?"

"It must be a bug, it's still crawling. That's terrifying and disgusting, what did I just see!"

"How can there be insects inside a human body, that's so scary."

All people were chattering, but Ling Zhenfei couldn't hesitate. Seeing the Ironclad Spirit-eating Insect come out, Ling Zhenfei acted quickly and forcefully pulled the jar down, the insect falling into it.

Perhaps realizing it had been tricked, the Ironclad Spirit-eating Insect violently collided within the jar, but by then it was too late. Once it was inside the jar, there would be no escape. After securing the lid, Ling Zhenfei stored the jar away.

After putting away the insect, Ling Zhenfei finally breathed a sigh of relief, for such a small bug had indeed caused a great deal of trouble.

Ling Zhenfei then helped Xiao Kunkun with his wound treatment, and turned to Shen Songling, extending his hand. Shen Songling knew what Divine Doctor Ling meant and quickly instructed the nurse to bring the second bowl of herbal medicine.

This bowl of medicine included Dragon Transformation Herb and contained a vast amount of Northern Spiritual Energy. With the Ironclad Spirit-eating Insect no longer devouring Xiao Kunkun's Northern Spiritual Energy, this energy would nourish Xiao Kunkun's organs and meridians, repair the damaged pathways, and let every organ function properly. With this process, Xiao Kunkun would be completely cured.

After taking two doses of the medicine, Ling Zhenfei could see Xiao Kunkun's body enveloped by Northern Spiritual Energy—a very good sign. In the past, even a small amount of Northern Spiritual Energy in his body would have been absorbed by that insect.

"Mommy!"

Just then, Xiao Kunkun spoke, and although his voice was not loud, the surrounding people heard him very clearly, and they were instantly astonished.

A media reporter quickly approached, placing the microphone near Xiao Kunkun's mouth, and then they heard Xiao Kunkun softly call out again, "Mommy!"

Not only those nearby, but even people further away heard Xiao Kunkun's voice, and suddenly the entire hall erupted in excitement.

"He spoke, Xiao Kunkun spoke."

"Yes, I heard it too, this is unbelievable."

"Did I hear that wrong?"

Camellia had been closely watching Ling Zhenfei administer the treatment from not too far away. Hearing Xiao Kunkun's words, she could no longer contain her excitement and rushed to Xiao Kunkun's side, followed by Xiao Kunkun's family all surging forward.

"Baby, Mommy is here, what would you like to say?" Camellia's eyes brimmed with tears of excitement as she held Xiao Kunkun's hand and asked.

"Mommy, I'm so hungry, I want to eat."

Upon hearing Xiao Kunkun's words, almost everyone present exclaimed. The media had covered a lot about Xiao Kunkun and knew that he had been unable to eat solid food for a long time, surviving only on liquids. It was unheard of for him to express a desire to eat on his own; the change was just too obvious.

"Okay, sweetheart, Mommy will get you something to eat right away, what would you like to eat?" Camellia's tears flowed uncontrollably upon hearing Xiao Kunkun's words—tears of happiness, for Xiao Kunkun had not spoken so clearly in a very long time.

"I want to eat fish!"

Everyone around Camellia rejoiced with her, and all those concerned about Xiao Kunkun's illness shared in the joy. Xiao Kunkun's improvement was too delightful, simply unbelievable.

"Divine Doctor Ling, is that okay?" Camellia asked Ling Zhenfei in an inquiring tone.

Ling Zhenfei had anticipated such a reaction from Xiao Kunkun. Currently enveloped in Spiritual Power, Xiao Kunkun was bound to feel much better under its influence. If one were to feel Xiao Kunkun's pulse now, one could detect a slow but steady restoration of his bodily functions.

"He can't eat fish yet. For now, he can only have some fluids, but you can gradually increase the quantity of food. In a few days, he can start eating fish." Xiao Kunkun hadn't eaten any meat for a very long time, so it was definitely out of the question for him to eat fish right now.

At that moment, Leize Ta and Xiao Kunkun's family all knelt down before Ling Zhenfei, moving everyone who witnessed the scene.

"Thank you, Divine Doctor, for saving his life, thank you for curing Xiao Kunkun's illness."

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly helped them up and said, "Xiao Kunkun's illness has indeed improved, but due to the great damage his body has suffered, he will need to recover slowly. As long as he continues to take the medicine according to my prescription, he will gradually get better."

As Ling Zhenfei spoke, he caught sight of Han Yan and the other naysayers in the distance. At this moment, their expressions were extremely awkward, mostly filled with embarrassment. They were at a loss for words, their faces as red as a piece of cloth, wishing they could crawl into a hole and hide.

Their expressions represented the sentiments of many critics, who, even those watching the live broadcast online, would never have imagined that Ling Zhenfei could cure Xiao Kunkun in such a short period of time and with such remarkable results. It seemed they had been wrong before, and many began to delete their posts on Weibo that had been critical of Ling Zhenfei and withdrew from the anti-Ling Zhenfei hype coalition.

Seeing Han Yan's expression, Ling Zhenfei could not have been more pleased. He said to Leize Ta, "The medicine I have prescribed consists of very precious herbs, and they are quite expensive. But don't worry, someone has already agreed to cover all the treatment costs."

Everybody heard Ling Zhenfei's words loud and clear, and they all knew to whom he was referring. At that moment, everyone's gaze turned towards Han Yan and his group.

By then, Han Yan no longer exhibited his previous arrogance; he seemed wholly diminished. The looks everyone gave him were like knives, each one cutting into him, leaving him virtually flayed.

"Han Yan, what's the matter? Where's your payment for the medical expenses? Hurry up and bring it out," Zhang Yue shouted toward Han Yan.

"Yeah, hurry up with the money. Don't let the whole country's netizens down by going back on your word," someone else chimed in.

"I bet he's all talk and can't actually come up with the money!"
