Chapter 146: Chapter 146 Jiang Ting’s Eyes Bulged Like Copper Bells
Hearing Lu Jingyan’s words, Jiang Ting’s eyes bulged like brass bells, her mouth agape with shock.
"What, what did you say...?"
Lu Jingyan spoke sternly: "A few days ago, you told me that when you last saw Old Mr. Fu, his complexion was rosy, his eyes clear, and his spirits were so good that he seemed to have gotten younger by a decade."
"Do you know why? It’s because Old Mr. Fu had previously taken a miracle cure given to him by Shengsheng, that’s why he had such a great change."
"Do you realize how precious that medicine Shengsheng has is? It would be snatched up even if it was sold for tens of millions apiece on the market."
"Ordinary people don’t even know Shengsheng’s true identity, let alone where to find her to save their lives. Now that Shengsheng is going to save You Ming, and you are actually trying to stop her."
"Just now, you insulted Shengsheng in front of so many people, and she didn’t even argue back, but took You Ming straight to the room."
"Why do you think she did that? Is it because she’s eager to be reprimanded and doesn’t mind being called a low-life scum?"
"It’s because she cares about You Ming, cares about him more than herself, and sees saving You Ming’s life as more important than anything else!"
Lu Jingyan’s words left Jiang Ting utterly dumbfounded.
How could it be possible... Shengsheng is so young, how could she possibly possess such advanced medical skills and be the closed-door disciple of Master of Traditional Medicine Feng Guolin.
But Lu Jingyan was serious, and both Lu Siyan and Lu Youye looked as if they had known about this all along; Jiang Ting couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.
Clearly, they had all witnessed Shengsheng’s medical skill, which is why they trusted and were so certain that if Shengsheng said she could save You Ming, she definitely could.
Where would Jiang Ting have imagined that a girl who seemed inconsequential and ill-fitting for public appearances, a girl like a private child, would actually have such an incredible identity, and even be able to help her son in a critical moment? She felt a complex mix of emotions.
If Shengsheng was just bragging, she would definitely make her regret it.
But if Shengsheng really could save You Ming... then she would be her son’s lifesaver.
On the other hand.
Lu Sheng held Lu Youming as she returned to her room, and placed him carefully on her bed, immediately locking the door from inside.
The entire electrical circuit of the Lu Family’s house had shorted out, and the room was still engulfed in pitch darkness, except for Black Bean poking its head out from the blankets, two round eyes emitting a dark green glow.
On the short walk over, the blood from Lu Youming’s neck had soaked Lu Sheng’s hands and her clothing.
Lu Youming was faintly slipping into unconsciousness due to continuous blood loss.
Lu Sheng raised a hand, and the next second, the floor lamp by the bed lit up, casting a soft, pale yellow glow.
Simultaneously, Lu Sheng placed her other hand over Lu Youming’s eyes and whispered softly, "Don’t be afraid, Fourth Brother, have a little sleep and when you wake up everything will be okay."
Then, Lu Youming fell completely unconscious.
Black Bean let out a ’meow’ and nimbly hopped beside Lu Sheng, instinctively licking the back of her hand.
The bedsheets were already stained with quite a bit of blood.
Lu Sheng placed her hand over the wound on Lu Youming’s neck, closed her eyes, and began transferring her Soul Power into his body to promote wound healing.
Lu Sheng was a Demon.
Demons are intrinsically evil and selfish, drawing power from humans to fortify themselves.
For a Demon, using Soul Power to harm people is effortless and also enhances their own strength.
But saving someone would require expending exponentially more Soul Power. The more difficult the life-saving, the greater the Essence expended.
Thus, most Demons would only harm people.
For instance, Ning Yu selling those poisoned medicines in the Black Market, not only does he earn human money, but when those poisoned die, his Soul Power strengthens.
Such a mechanism was also the reason why the Demon Hunter pursued her relentlessly in her past life.
Because in her last life, though she had lived incognito, she possessed many secret identities, such as Rosy, such as Panda, such as Mrs. Qiangwei...
These identities brought her the admiration of countless humans, making her very powerful.
The Demon Hunter, You Yi, feared that her strength would lead her to harm people, and the more she harmed, the stronger she would become. He feared she would wreak havoc in the Human Realm, thus he pursued her endlessly.
The other party never delved into whether she actually harmed anyone; in You Yi’s eyes, her mere existence was a threat to humanity, and therefore should be eradicated.
As Soul Power flowed continuously, Lu Sheng’s face also began to show traces of pallor. Black Bean, clearly worried, crouched beside her, watching intently.
After a while, Lu Sheng healed the wound on Lu Youming’s neck until only a light scar remained and then withdrew her hand.
This way, she could still claim to have some miracle cure that shouldn’t be made known to the public. If the healing was complete, she would have no way to explain to others what kind of medical skill could be so miraculous.
There were restless noises outside the room door.
It must be that everyone was worried about Lu Youming’s well-being, so they were all waiting outside her room, anxiously anticipating the outcome.
Lu Sheng took a deep breath, checked Lu Youming’s pale, bloodless face to ensure he was out of harm’s way, and then stood up.
She opened the door, and Jiang Ting, who had been leaning against it listening to the sounds inside, nearly lost her balance and stumbled into the room, which was truly a bit embarrassing.
"Don’t worry," Lu Sheng glanced at everyone, "Fourth Brother is alright now, he’s asleep."
The lights had been turned off before the door was opened, and Black Bean had also crawled back into bed.
Upon hearing Lu Sheng’s words, everyone took a deep breath and saw, under the illumination of the emergency light, that Lu Youming was indeed lying on Lu Sheng’s bed, looking peacefully at rest.
Even the wound on his neck had completely stopped bleeding and had almost healed!
"My god..." Han Jing widened his eyes in shock, "How, how did you do that?"
Han Jing and Lan Yu already knew that Lu Sheng’s medical skill was exceptional, but they had never imagined it to be this extraordinary—it could be called nothing short of divine. 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
"A unique secret technique, my master said not to disclose it," Lu Sheng replied briefly.
The mention of a unique secret technique and non-disclosure immediately quelled any further questions that were on everyone’s minds.
In any case, it was good that Lu Youming was safe; they had a close shave.
Jiang Ting rushed over to check Lu Youming from head to toe, reluctantly accepting this miraculous reality.
Her son was really alright, and if it weren’t for a scar on his neck, it would have seemed as if he had never been injured.
She couldn’t help but look back at Lu Sheng.
Without even having been taken to the operating room for emergency surgery, Lu Sheng had managed to save Youming right in her room, without any tools at all.
And merely ten minutes ago, she had been cursing at her, calling her a cheap wench and a lowly creature.
This was really...
Jiang Ting felt her face burning, unable to utter a single word in half a day.
As an elder, it was impossible for her to apologize to such a little girl. But Lu Sheng had just saved her son, and she had insulted her so harshly before, indeed she was at fault...
Lu Sheng didn’t care at all about Jiang Ting’s internal struggle, or more precisely, she didn’t care about what Jiang Ting thought.
Whether Jiang Ting liked or disliked her didn’t matter at all; the only thing Lu Sheng cared about was Lu Youming’s safety. As long as Fourth Brother was alright, that was enough.
"Let Fourth Brother rest in my room, he will be fine," Lu Sheng said.
Then everyone left together, heading outside. When they reached the living room, Lu Sheng’s legs went weak for a moment, but Lu Siyan swiftly supported her: "What’s wrong?"
Due to the excessive output of Soul Power, which left her weak and dizzy, Lu Sheng shook her head, "I’m fine, Second Brother, just a bit dizzy."
"If you’re not feeling well, rest on my bed for a while," Lu Siyan’s voice was cool, "It’s not safe to grope around in the dark, I’ll carry you upstairs."
Although Lu Siyan usually appeared detached and aloof, speaking in a cool manner, he was truly gentle with his sister.
He bent down to pick up Lu Sheng, not minding her blood-stained body even though he was a clean freak wearing a white shirt.
Lu Sheng really needed to take a rest, so she went upstairs with Lu Siyan.
After the arrival and departure of the ambulance, the emergency light remained in the living room, which was still in complete disarray.
After sending Lu Sheng upstairs, Lu Siyan also came back down. The servants were busy cleaning up the shards of the chandelier, Han Jing and Lan Yu were marveling at the amazingness of Lu Sheng’s medical skills with Lu Youye, Lu Jingyan was seriously discussing Lu Sheng’s matter with Jiang Ting, telling her not to target Lu Sheng anymore, while Lu Qianrou seemed unsettled the whole night.
Yao Xuantong felt completely ignored, unable to fit in, and finally could only say dryly, "Um... I wanted to ask, where did Lu Ziye go?"
Nobody thought of it until Yao Xuantong mentioned it.
Once she brought it up, everyone realized there was a problem—
Since the chandelier explosion and the power outage, they hadn’t seen Lu Ziye.
Where was Lu Ziye?
But within seconds, both Lu Jingyan and Lu Siyan seemed to think of something at the same time, their expressions suddenly changing: "...Damn, quickly, go search for him!"
