"Forget it. That's a radioactive toxin, sothing to do with physics or chemistry. Lin Tang practices traditional Chinese dicine; the two are worlds apart. If he puts on a brave front and tries to treat your father, he'll fail. Then he'll be humiliated by your peculiar mother, and you might even call him useless. Why should he bother asking for trouble?"
Shen Youling was speechless. She slumped to the ground, dejected.
It does seem that way. So all my efforts were for nothing? Is accepting this reality all I can do now?
What bewildered Shen Youling the most was realizing that as she resigned herself to the cruel fact of her father's impending death, she wasn't as grief-stricken as she had imagined. It felt more like a void had been carved out of her chest, or as if an invisible string that had always been attached to her had suddenly snapped. She couldn't put a finger on the feeling, nor could she find the words to describe it.
"Pfft—" Lee Encai laughed. "Silly girl, you actually believed ? Don't worry. How could Lin Tang bear to see you sad? He's already gone to the hospital to save your dad."
"You!" Shen Youling's breath hitched, and her composure shattered instantly. She couldn't stop herself from hitting Lee Encai's shoulder again and again. "You all just team up to bully ! I'm so mad!"
"...Woman, are you acting spoiled with ?" Lee Encai's expression was strange. She imdiately wrapped an arm around Shen Youling's waist and used her other hand to hook her chin. With a devilishly arrogant smirk, she said, "I've always hidden a secret... I'm bisexual. I like n like Lin Tang, but I also like pretty girls. To be honest, I've had my eye on you for a while. Why don't the three of us just get together?"
Having said that, she leaned in to kiss Shen Youling.
Shen Youling turned pale with fright. "Ah, no!" she scread, struggling like a baby chick caught in a palm, but it was useless. The difference in strength between her and Lee Encai was just too great. She could only watch helplessly as she was about to be forcefully kissed...
Of course, Lee Encai didn't actually go through with the kiss. She wasn't really bisexual; she was just teasing Shen Youling.
Humiliated and furious, Shen Youling secretly vowed that one day, after her cultivation improved and surpassed Lee Encai's, she would get her revenge!
After breaking free from Lee Encai, she rushed straight to the hospital. Having nothing better to do, Lee Encai followed her into the car.
「The Hospital. Ergency Room.」
After the strenuous and sweaty efforts from nurous doctors, Shen Xin's electrocardiogram inevitably flatlined.
"Whew..."
"There's nothing more we can do."
"The patient is clinically dead."
"Notify the family, then send him to the morgue!"
When Dong Mingfeng and the others waiting outside heard the news, Dong Mingfeng's eyes rolled back, and she fainted dead away. Whether it was a genuine faint or just an act, no one could tell.
Shen Jiayue's expression was one of grief, but it masked a frantic terror. I know my mother and my husband are the ones who murdered my father! And I know they must have guessed that I know... They're so depraved! Will they try to silence next? What do I do? I'm so scared! Her trust in what she once called family had been completely shattered.
Lu Zizheng's forehead was beaded with cold sweat, and his calves were trembling. At this mont, killing witnesses wasn't on his mind. Instead...
No, no! I can't go to prison, and I definitely can't be executed! I have to run! I have to get out of the country!
anwhile, Shen Xin's soul, like a stalk of wheat swaying in the wind, wavered feebly before detaching from his lifeless body.
"Ah, this feels so good... so light... I've never felt anything like this before..." he murmured, his expression blissful, as if he were in the most wonderful dream.
But then he jolted awake. "Wait! What's happening to ? How am I, a human, floating? I... I... ah! Why is my body lying down there, and what am I now? Why are they covering my head with a white sheet... Am I dead?!"
"No! NO! I haven't even reached retirent age! How can I be dead? I don't want to die! Help! Doctor, nurse, listen to ! Hello? Can anyone hear ? Can't you see ? Have I beco a ghost?"
"Ouch, it hurts! It hurts so much! I feel like my entire being is being torn apart! Am I going to dissipate? AHHH, how could my life be so miserable!"
As his soul began to disintegrate, Shen Xin fell into utter despair.
"Hmm?"
Just then, Lin Tang's voice clearly reached his "ears."
Normally, when a person's soul leaves their body after death, they're confused and disoriented. I didn't expect Youling's father to remain so lucid. No wonder he's so terrified.
Sotis, dying in a state of numb confusion is a blessing. To be fully conscious as you are torn apart and dissipate is a pain worse than death by a thousand cuts. Under normal circumstances, Shen Xin would have had to endure this fate. Fortunately, Lin Tang had arrived just in ti.
"Huh? He can see ? Is he smiling at ? No one else can see , so why can he... Lin Tang, can you really see ? Ahh, it hurts so much! Please save ! I'm begging you, save ! I was wrong before, I shouldn't have treated you that way! I repent, I apologize, you..."
"Enough nonsense! Get back in there!"
Lin Tang's figure flickered, and he appeared beside Shen Xin's corpse. No one else could see him at all. Only Shen Xin himself watched as Lin Tang reached out, grabbed his soul, lifted the white sheet, and shoved him right into his corpse's buttocks.
"AOWW!" Shen Xin scread wildly. He never imagined that returning to his body would be such a humiliating experience...
SIZZLE!
It felt like a jolt of electricity. Shen Xin's body convulsed, and then he sat bolt upright.
"AAH!" the nurses scread first.
The doctors were equally astonished.
As Lin Tang secretly cast Spring Breeze and Rain, Shen Xin opened his mouth and began to vomit violently. He coughed up what was left of his shredded internal organs, while new ones grew to replace them.
"Incredible!"
"This isn't scientific!"
"My God..."
The doctors and nurses were dumbstruck, unable to recover their wits for a long ti. Lin Tang couldn't be bothered to reveal himself and be bombarded with questions. Thus, after reviving Shen Xin, he slipped away, leaving his deed and na unknown.
Once Shen Xin lay down again, a doctor cautiously approached to examine him. He discovered that the patient's vital signs had returned and all his internal organs were intact.
"Quick, conduct more in-depth examinations! This is the best living specin heaven has ever gifted us!" Their eyes glowed with fervor as they began to treat Shen Xin like a research subject.
Just as Shen Xin was about to open his eyes, he was anesthetized again.
...Fuck! he thought, before reluctantly losing consciousness, left to their rcy.
At that mont, Shen Youling and Lee Encai arrived at the hospital.
"What? My dad's alive?" Shen Youling was overjoyed. "It must have been Lin Tang! Lin Tang was here!"
Just then, Dong Mingfeng and the others, who had been dazed for a long ti, also ca to their senses.
"My husband... is alive again?"
"Lin Tang saved him? How is that possible! We didn't even see him!"
"It definitely wasn't Lin Tang! It must have been soone else!"
They refused to believe Lin Tang had such an ability, nor that he would be so kind. Seeing their persistent attitude toward Lin Tang, Shen Youling was furious.
"Besides Lin Tang, who else could have saved my dad? Go on, you tell ! Who saved him?"
"This..." Dong Mingfeng and the other two were speechless.
"Ahem, excuse , Miss Shen. It was actually I who intervened..." a very confident voice suddenly interjected from behind them.
"Hm?" Shen Youling turned around to look.
