43: Chapter 43 Qin Ge: I gave you a chance, but you were useless!

Jiang Yingxue nervously hurried forward and grasped the Old Lady's hand tightly, her heart pounding wildly with panic.

She turned her head, her face full of fury, glaring at Chen Yuan with eyes wide enough to split, and shouted angrily, "How could this happen!?"

"How could my grandmother's condition become even worse after you treated her!?"

Chen Yuan's eyes showed astonishment, "That's impossible!"

The stagnant Qi he had already smoothed out.

How could the Old Lady's body still be rapidly deteriorating?

Chen Yuan stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Let me adjust it again."

"Don't, don't come over!"

The Old Lady on the hospital bed stopped him with a trembling voice.

She shakily raised her hand, pointing in Qin Ge's direction, and murmured weakly, "I... I want Qin Ge to treat me. E-even if I die in Qin Ge's hands, this old woman can die in peace."

In reality, her body had indeed improved quite a bit just moments ago.

She could feel it herself.

But upon hearing Chen Yuan's request, she could no longer sit still.

Not letting her granddaughter meet Qin Ge again?

This kid has ill intentions!

He intends to break up Qin Ge and Xiao Xue.

Trying to usurp the nest?

Old Lady Wang knew her own body better than anyone.

It was just a piece of withered wood, beyond the help of medicine.

Sooner or later, she would breathe her last.

She wasn't afraid of death; she only feared that after she died, no one would take care of Xiao Xue.

The only person she trusted and could entrust Xiao Xue to was Qin Ge.

Even if she died in Qin Ge's hands, she absolutely would not let her granddaughter owe Chen Yuan a favor!

"Qin Ge, I beg you, please save my grandmother." Jiang Yingxue bit her lip, pleading with tears streaming down her face like rain on pear blossoms.

Chen Yuan kept a straight face, "He only knows massage, what the Hell does he know about medicine?"

Jiang Yingxue turned her head, her beautiful eyes brimming with anger, and roared with extreme disgust, "Shut your mouth!"

Chen Yuan swallowed his saliva in frustration, then glared viciously at Qin Ge.

"Ding! Child of Destiny Chen Yuan has developed feelings of anger towards the Host. Rewarding the Host with 3000 villain points!"

With the reward received, Qin Ge couldn't help but chuckle.

He was amused by this unexpected joy.

The Old Lady's stagnant Qi had already been smoothed out.

Chen Yuan insisted on breaking him up with Jiang Yingxue right in front of the Old Lady at this very moment.

Didn't he know that the Old Lady had already regarded him as her grandson-in-law, a position no one could replace?

Wasn't this just asking for trouble, as if he thought the Old Lady had lived too long?

The Old Lady, who couldn't handle being upset and hadn't been fully cured, naturally had another episode after being provoked like this.

He had chosen to let go of the sesame seeds to embrace the watermelon.

But even after giving Chen Yuan, this Child of Destiny, the chance to show off and slap faces, he was just useless!

"Give me the silver needles." Qin Ge reached out to Chen Yuan to ask for them.

It was time for him to act, otherwise the Old Lady would really breathe her last.

Chen Yuan didn't refuse and handed them over.

He sneered in his heart, perhaps in terms of current combat power, he might be slightly inferior to Qin Ge.

But when it came to medicine, he had received the true teachings of his Beautiful Master.

How could Qin Ge compare to him?

If he ruined the Old Lady's treatment, wouldn't he still be the one to clean up the mess in the end?

The process was twisted, but the result would still be as he had previously expected.

In the end, the one to win the beauty would definitely be him, Chen Yuan!

"Move aside." Qin Ge stepped forward, twisting the silver needles, ordered Jiang Yingxue to back off, and at the same time, calmly and lightly twirled each silver needle, rubbing them as he inserted them into the Old Lady's chest.

The position, depth, and force were just right, absolutely perfect.

Upon seeing Qin Ge insert the needles, Chen Yuan had already started celebrating prematurely.

"Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate!"

"This guy Qin Ge is actually using the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate."

He couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

This acupuncture technique had long been lost; even his Revered Master couldn't perform the last three needles.

Qin Ge? Some amateur who learned it from who knows where!

An amateur technique that didn't even have one percent of the original effect.

How could it compare to him, who was using the Witch Sect Nine Needles?

It wasn't just Chen Yuan who held this thought, but also the Old Lady lying on the hospital bed.

She raised her cloudy eyes, looked at Jiang Yingxue's slender figure, and said as if giving her final instructions, "Xiao Xue, I know my own body; it won't get better."

"It's time to go."

"After I'm gone, you must remember to listen to Qin Ge, and don't always let your own mood dictate everything."

"You must also consider Qin Ge's feelings."

"Relationships are mutual. If Qin Ge treats you well, you should treat Qin Ge well too. No one is obligated to take care of you selflessly for a lifetime."

She didn't harbor any hope of being pulled back from the gates of Hell again.

She also didn't want to rely on Chen Yuan's medical skills to live a little longer.

When it's time to go, just let it be.

It saves the younger generation from unnecessary trouble.

She gave one last heavy instruction, "My death has nothing to do with Qin Ge!"

"If I can have you and Qin Ge with me at the last moment, even if I die, I can close my eyes in peace..."

After saying this, Old Lady Wang closed her cloudy eyes.

Quietly waiting for death to arrive.

Beep—!

At that very moment, all the instruments turned into a flat line.

As if declaring the end of the Old Lady's life.

"Grandmother!" Jiang Yingxue wailed miserably, falling to her knees in front of the hospital bed with a thud. Her helpless sobbing made those who heard it sad and those who saw it shed tears.

She was gone! The grandmother who loved her most and cherished her most was gone. She would never come back. From now on, she, Jiang Yingxue, would no longer have a grandmother who was always thinking and worrying about her.

"Ahem..." Qin Ge placed his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly, interrupting Jiang Yingxue's emotional state, and said, "Grandmother isn't dead."

Jiang Yingxue's eyes were red, and she looked at the instruments showing a flat line, sobbing tragically, "Qin Ge, you don't need to comfort me. I won't blame you; this isn't your fault."

Qin Ge was amused, "You blame me? On what grounds would you blame me?"

"Grandmother's chronic illness has been cured by me!"

"At least for the next few years, there won't be any such geriatric diseases like heart failure or organ failure."

"The instruments aren't beeping because I found the alarm sound annoying, so I pulled the plug."

As he spoke, Qin Ge threw the large cluster of plugs he was holding onto the floor.

He turned to the Old Lady lying on the hospital bed, whose eyelids were trembling, and said, "Grandmother, how long do you plan on pretending?"

Old Lady Wang opened her cloudy eyes and said awkwardly, "I'm not going to die?"

All that emotional buildup from before. She had even arranged her funeral affairs. And now, not only was she not dying, but her ailments had actually been cured?

This situation, even for an Old Lady nearing ninety, was enough to make her feel incredibly ashamed!

Jiang Yingxue's mood soared from Hell to the clouds as she looked at her grandmother, whose face was now rosy on the hospital bed.

Feeling wronged, she kept grabbing the Old Lady's palm and rubbing it against her cheek, saying with a mix of shock, joy, and resentment, "Grandmother, you scared me to death!"

"How does your body feel now?"

The Old Lady tentatively shook her elbow, slightly increasing the range of motion, and exclaimed in great surprise, "It's better, it's really better! When I move my joints, my body doesn't hurt anymore. Grandmother feels like she could climb five floors in one breath now!"

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!!!"

Chen Yuan, who was watching from the side, roared with a furious expression, "The Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate is said to be lost even by my Revered Master. That is a Divine Ability that can bring the dead back to life and turn Flesh to White Bone! Whether it even exists is a huge question. How could you, Qin Ge, possibly know how to use it?"

He glared at Old Lady Wang, completely broken, and cursed, "You old hag, you are blind!"
