"Okay, I get. Let's identify poisons by smell, then." Truly? Qing Yue didn't even know why she was going through this torment.
It's not like any of these herbs would be present in the current LiLong Country anyway. So, if time still moved, wasn't she just wasting time and suffering this torture for nothing?
Li Feng's lips quirked in an awkward angle, not knowing whether to cry or laugh at her lackluster enthusiasm.
Here he was, putting in his everything to prepare her for the impending future. And here she was, the Saintess, not displaying even the slightest bit of joy at gaining such invaluable knowledge, let alone be grateful.
Huuu...forget it. Considering our past, I won't hold it against her.
Li Feng took a deep breath and proceeded to blindfold her.
"This...!"
"It's necessary. For you to identify the plants by smell, you need to be in complete darkness. Aside from your nose, there's nothing else you can trust." He tied the
In the private ward of the Long Medical Hospital, Li Chen listlessly sat outside the ICU. The middle-aged man's usual refined and cool aura was nowhere to be found. In its place was a despondent and oppressive aura surrounding an anxious, haggard man. At this time, the man sitting on the bench wasn't the New World Formation's greatest businessman, but a worried and frightened father on the brink of collapse. Clenching his fists until they were stark white, Li Chen's unwavering gaze remained fixed on the ICU room. "Uncle Li, nothing will happen to Qing Yue. She was so brave and selfless, risking her own life to save a little kid. Someone so brave and selfless won't leave without a fight." "Tian Tian is right, Bother Li. Nothing will happen to Qing Qing. You...you need to look after your own health. For the past two days, you haven't moved from this spot. If you fall ill, then how will you take care of Qing Qing when she wakes up?" Long Hongwu w
"In the afternoon today around 1 pm, there was a hover crash at City Orphanage. In this crash, the only daughter of businessman Li Chen, Li Qing Yue, is reported to be fatally injured. Our sources report the young girl risked her life to save that of a five-year-old. At the moment, she is admitted to Long Medical Hospital, and her situation is unclear. Citizens of LiLong Country, let's all pray together for the recovery of this brave, young girl. She...""Ha! Li Qing Yue is dying!?" With a click, the TeleSec line went dark. In the silent atmosphere, the joyous excitement in Yei Yi's voice couldn't be concealed."She's dying! She's dying! Haha...Li Qing Yue...go in peace!" If she could, Yei Yi wanted to say these words over the girl's dead body.Unfortunately, she got the news too late. If she went to Long Medical Hospital right now, Li Chen wouldn't so much as blink at her.And that's why she both admired and hated him.She hated how he saw and car
"That...we..."Taking a big gulp, Dr. Ren wiped his sweat and decisively closed his eyes."We did our best to save the patient. But she's still unconscious. As of now, we can't make any statement on her condition. We need to keep her under observation for another day."Having gotten everything out in one breath, the doctor's shoulders sagged in relief.There. He said all he needed to say.From here, they can do whatever they want.Drained by the pressure of the two gods and tried from treating the girl's horrific condition, Dr. Ren passed out before Long Hongwu or Li Chen could react."This...!" Chief Physician Mu was rendered speechless.The doctor in charge of the buddha's treatment had passed out. Under this situation, what was he supposed to do?"Dr. Ren!" The nurses and physician assistants cried out in shock and held the man's falling figure. They didn't despise him for his feeble heart. Because they understood the
The man was frozen stiff, not knowing where to begin.She woke up just like...that?What now?He was worried when she was unconscious.Anxious when he heard the physician's report.Now he felt conflicted.Was this her acceptance to his promise?Qing Yue was still fuming at Li Feng in her mind when she heard the deep voice of a man beside her. She blinked once, twice, before slowly turning her head.Bandaged like a mummy from head to toe, her movements were anything but flexible and painless. But Qing Yue ignored the numbing pain spreading through her body and fixed her sight on the figure.What entered her sight was a blue slim fit suit wrapped around a tall, well-defined, figure. Her gaze lifted up, but as her body was stiff from the many wrappings, her sight only caught his defined jaw and thin, firm lips."You...who are...you?" Da**! Why did she sound like an 80-year-old lady?Did...did the smoke damage
"Commander Long, Young Master Long, and Mr. Li...I'm sorry to say this, but...Young Mistress Qing Yue won't be able to stand on her feet anymore. Moreover, the injury on her face...she's likely to be...disfigured for life."The moment Dr. Ren finished his speech, he sighed in relief and weakly slumped against the wall.Speaking to these gods was draining.And yet, he still needed to preserve his strength to face their wrath.To face such a catastrophe, his good fortune for this life must've run out.The three men were frozen stiff.There wasn't a trace of emotion to be found on their faces.But their vacant and dazed eyes spoke volumes of their state of mind."What...did you say?" The first to return to his senses was Commander Long.Grinded by war and gore, the matter of disability and disfigurement, though devastating, didn't hit him as an earth-shattering matter."Qing Qing will never be able to walk again? She
The soul shuddering wails even made her tremble in dread.To produce such horrific wails, what kind of agonizing pain was she experiencing?The ward swung open and a frantic Long Tian, Li Chen, and Long Hongwu were ushered out."Dr. Ren, what's going on? Why is Yue'er screaming?" Li Chen was close to collapsing from grief.When had his beloved daughter ever wailed like this?As far as he could remember, Li Qing Yue had never cried after her first birthday."Mr. Li, don't worry. The pain-relief medication we'd administered must've run out. After changing medication, she'll calm down.""You're telling me you didn't change her medication on time? What kind of professionalism is this? You yourself said her injuries are grave. So how can you forget to monitor her medication?" Long Tian was enraged.The girl's wails were anything but humane.Harsh, jarring, and heart-rending, the sound made even his heart tremble."I...
Qing Yue blinked.Never walk again? Disfigured for life?This must've been what Li Feng meant when he said she could regain her original appearance.Sigh. I wonder how long the process will take...Seeing her expression remain as impassive as before Long Hongwu revealed the news, the three men in the room tensed up.It couldn't be the news was too huge of a blow for her to react, right?At this thought, they felt even more anxious."Qing Qing, don't worry. Uncle Long will find all the best medical doctors in the country to help you. You'll be better in no time.""Yes, Yue'er. If necessary, we'll even fly in a foreign specialist to treat you. So don't feel depressed. You'll be better in no time.""You'll probably feel hopeless and discouraged because the treatment will not be easy. It will even be painful. But we'll be with you. As long as you don't give up, there's hope."Qing Yue returned to her senses and swept
Once again, the men in the room were shocked speechless.Qing Yue's words were like a clap of thunder.That's right. Unless one gave the words of others great importance, at the end of the day, they were nothing more than mere air blowing through their ear.The people in the room knew this. But it wasn't until they heard Qing Yue say it that they saw the light.In this society where the new generation placed high importance on others' opinions and views of them, it was difficult to maintain a mindset where they could brush off and not allow themselves to be affected by any unpleasant comment or remark.So Qing Yue's words made the mean feel refreshed and ashamed of their own shortsightedness. Rather than give importance to what others thought, they should reflect more on themselves."Qing Qing, Uncle Long has nothing else to say. I can see that you are more clear-minded about what's important than us, so I'll stop worrying needlessly. Howeve
