Seeing the smile appear on Wei Zhao's face, Feng Tianlong said nothing more on the matter. Evidently Wei Zhao already had the whole thing worked out and full confidence in his grasp of it.
"Very well. I'll have men see to it at once and have another ice coffin made!" Not daring to delay, Feng Tianlong set about arranging the affair there and then.
"When you froze Aunt Susu back then, did you already hold to the thought that she might one day be cured?" Wei Zhao asked.
"I did. Divine Physician Lin Dongfang said as much at the time — that if a Heaven-tier expert were to step in, Susu could be saved. But... a Heaven-tier expert..." A faint, disappointed smile slipped across Feng Tianlong's lips. "I begged them, every one. But no Heaven-tier expert would risk dropping a level just to save an ordinary person..."
"You... have met a Heaven-tier expert?" Wei Zhao stared at Feng Tianlong in astonishment, never having imagined that the man could have come into contact with such a being.
"Forget it. No dwelling on past glories. I'm nothing but an ordinary man now — let's not speak of it..." Clearly unwilling to reopen that stretch of the past, Feng Tianlong simply shook his head and would say no more.
Seeing how Feng Tianlong looked, Wei Zhao knew he wished to say no more and did not press him. "In that case, my mind is at ease! If it can be managed, I will find two Fire Spirit Sacred Fruit and give one to Aunt Susu as well. But... if there is only one, I must beg Uncle Feng's forgiveness — it can go only to Xiaoxiao! Split a Fire Spirit Sacred Fruit between two people, and no one can guarantee it will still take effect... You love your wife, but I want my wife to live too..."
"I know — I understand!" Feng Tianlong could not help but laugh at what Wei Zhao had said. "She's my daughter too! Believe me — even if I did feed the only Fire Spirit Sacred Fruit to Susu, and she came back to life only to learn that I had not saved Xiaoxiao, she would kill me with her own hands!"
Wei Zhao nodded. Feng Tianlong was right — what parent does not wish their own child safety and happiness? Even if it meant giving up their own life. He was certain that if Xiao Chuchu were to wake, she would feel exactly the same.
Wei Zhao believed that if he and Xiaoxiao were ever to have a child of their own, and he found a single Fire Spirit Sacred Fruit, Xiaoxiao would surely give it to their child rather than take it herself.
With Feng Tianlong sent on his way, Wei Zhao's spirits opened up all at once, and the gloom that had hung over him was swept clean. So long as the problem of time could be solved, nothing else was a problem! The Fire Spirit Sacred Fruit — Wei Zhao believed that with effort he would certainly find it. And even taking the most pessimistic view, should he fail to find it, then once he had advanced to Heaven-tier he could treat Feng Xiaoxiao himself!
Drop a level? Wei Zhao wasn't afraid of that — hadn't he dropped often enough? His level had so often fallen to zero, on Xiaoxiao's account; the worst that could happen would be that same outcome. Could it even go negative?
So Wei Zhao was happy — he could not keep himself from leaping up off the ground. Only after he came down did he shake his head. When had he grown to be like this? It seemed the old man had been entirely right about one thing: he had changed!
