As Ye Wanwan listened, fear gripped her tighter. Her hands and feet turned ice-cold. Trying to steady herself, she asked, "Father, what do you mean?"
Though Ye Wanwan looked pitiful, Ye Hongxuan didn't intend to hide the truth anymore. "In simple terms, your previous cultivation increase came at the cost of burning your life force. You took too many of those pills, so your organs are rapidly deteriorating. We previously thought it was from your injuries. But now it seemed those pills were the reason."
Beside him, Lian Mengzhu's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing the explanation. She couldn't fathom her daughter ending up like this.
She immediately glanced at Ye Wanwan, realizing if she herself was deeply affected, it must be even worse for Ye Wanwan.
As expected, Ye Wanwan was greatly shocked, refusing to believe it as she muttered, "No, it can't be like this. Grandfather gave me those pills. He wouldn't harm me!"
