Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Xiu’er

"Let’s go! Let’s wait outside!"

Just like Hong Gang, Ye Xing also began to persuade the Ye Family relatives to leave the emergency room.

It wasn’t until everyone in the emergency room had left that Ye Wumei walked to the door, closed it, and stood guard for Fang Bai to prevent anyone from disturbing him.

Once everyone had exited the emergency room, Fang Bai didn’t hesitate. With a wave of his hands, he removed all the tubes and breathing masks connected to Xiu’er, then took out the Five Elements Acupuncture Set from his Spatial Ring, and applied all five needles simultaneously to Xiu’er’s body.

Fang Bai pinched the tail of the needles, channeling gold, wood, water, fire, and earth True Yuan through the differently colored needles into Xiu’er’s body like a gentle stream, while his Divine Sense followed the True Yuan inside.

Soon, the condition of the meridians inside Xiu’er’s body appeared as a three-dimensional map in Fang Bai’s mind, clearly showing which parts were intact and which were severed.

There are countless meridians inside the human body that, under normal circumstances, resemble a dense and ordered network of highways, all interconnected and systematic.

However, the meridians within Xiu’er’s body were mostly fractured and in disarray due to the impact of a powerful external force.

This was the primary reason Xiu’er’s lifeforce was faint and her life hung by a thread.

Therefore, to save Xiu’er, it was necessary to reconnect her fractured meridians and then repair them.

For a regular doctor in the secular world, such a situation would definitely be insurmountable.

Even for a medical martial artist like Hua Tianhe or Qian Haoduo, it would still be impossible to save Xiu’er’s life.

Xiu’er’s meridians were almost completely ruptured, and without encountering Fang Bai, her death was certain. Only a martial artist like Fang Bai, who had developed Divine Sense, could use it to guide the True Yuan to reconnect and repair the broken meridians for Xiu’er.

Fang Bai’s True Yuan flowed continuously from the tips of the Five Elements Needles into Xiu’er’s body, visibly reconnecting and repairing her severed meridians at a speed visible to the naked eye.

During the treatment, Fang Bai could clearly feel that his control over True Yuan had improved significantly over before. He couldn’t help but feel pleased, as this also laid a solid foundation for his future endeavors in alchemy and artifact refining.

Reconnecting and repairing broken meridians was even more mentally taxing than treating terminal diseases like cancer. In just ten minutes, the True Yuan in Fang Bai’s Qi Sea was nearly depleted. Fortunately, there were almost a hundred thousand Essence Stones in his Spatial Ring, which he could use to continuously absorb Essence Energy to replenish his consumption.

Once the Essence Energy within the Essence Stones was absorbed, they would turn to dust and fall to the ground. After nearly an hour of treatment, Fang Bai had used up almost a hundred Essence Stones, and a small pile of dust had accumulated at his feet.

Phew—

An hour later, Fang Bai took a long breath, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and felt that this treatment session had been even more mentally exhausting than the fierce battle he had with the Shaolin Monk Xuan Nan.

What comforted Fang Bai was that, through his efforts, all the broken meridians in Xiu’er’s body had been completely reconnected. However, after this ordeal, Xiu’er was like someone who had been through a serious illness, extremely weak. To fully recover, she would need to rest in bed for two or three days.

Fang Bai packed up the Five Elements Needles, placed them in a needle box, and casually threw it into his Spatial Ring. He then lightly patted the Baihui Acupoint on top of Xiu’er’s head and injected a strand of Wood Element Qi into it.

Wood Element Qi has the remarkable effect of stimulating vitality and vigor. Xiu’er, who had still been in a coma, trembled slightly with the infusion of this strand of Wood Element Qi. Her eyelids moved, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

"Who are you?"

Seeing Fang Bai standing in front of her, smiling at her, Xiu’er blinked her distinctively clear black and white eyes and asked curiously.

She then looked around and, realizing she was in a hospital bed, tried to turn over but found she had no strength at all; she could only reluctantly continue lying down.

Fang Bai saw Xiu’er’s skin was snow white, her eyes large, and her cheeks adorably plump; he thought such a girl would be loved by everyone. No wonder Ye Wumei was so worried when she found out her little niece was in trouble and pleaded with him to come and save her.

Even "Wrathful Beauties" assassins could ruthlessly harm such a cute girl, truly heartless and inhuman!

Fang Bai chuckled and touched Xiu’er’s little face, saying, "I’m the doctor who came to treat you! You can call me Uncle Fang! Your name is Xiu’er, right?"

"Yes, my nickname is Xiu’er, and my formal name is Ye Xiu. I’m six years old already!"

Xiu’er sweetly replied, then seriously said to Fang Bai, "Uncle, you’re a boy, and I’m a girl. My mom says men and women should not touch each other without agreement, and you touched my face without my permission just now, which is wrong! Don’t do it again!"

Fang Bai laughed and said, "Alright, my fault! Xiu’er, how do you feel now?"

"I feel... all weak, and my head’s a bit dizzy! That’s about it! Uncle, I remember I was just playing in the amusement park with my mom. How come after a nap, I’m in a hospital?"

Xiu’er asked, looking puzzled.

Feeling weak and fatigued all over, she still thought she had just taken a nap, having no idea that if Fang Bai hadn’t saved her, this nap might have been her last.

Fang Bai said, "A bad person knocked you out at the amusement park, and then you were brought to the hospital. Xiu’er, do you remember what the person who hit you looked like?"

"The bad person who hit me? Oh, let me think..."

Xiu’er bit her plump lips and said, "It was a very beautiful big sister, tall, with long hair and big eyes; her skin... her skin was a bit dark, like... like the color of wheat. And... "

At this point, a hint of terror appeared in her dark eyes as she quietly said, "That big sister had such fierce eyes when she looked at me! I was a bit scared of her and wanted to stay away, but she came over to me and patted my back... I can’t remember anything after that!"

Fang Bai nodded and asked, "Do you remember what clothes that big sister was wearing?"

After thinking, Xiu’er said, "Black clothes, tight-fitting."

"Seems like it really is a ’Wrathful Beauties’ assassin after all!"

Fang Bai’s eyes flickered as he muttered to himself.

"Wrathful Beauties" had attempted and failed to assassinate Fang Bai several times before. Based on Fang Bai’s experience, those assassins all shared the following characteristics: First, they were all women; second, they were all young; third, they were all considered beautiful; fourth, they all wore black clothes.

Based on Xiu’er’s description, Fang Bai was certain that the one who had acted against Xiu’er was indeed an assassin from "Wrathful Beauties."

Thinking back to when "Wrathful Beauties" had declared they would deal with the Ye Family, could it be that they had already started taking action?
