Heavenly Star (Web Novel)
chapter-160

Beautiful Woman lowered her head, her hand was still floating around the empty space over the madame’s chest. Everyone felt that something just did not add up and they could not understand what she was doing… Majority of the people thought she was faking it. Ye Wuchen closed his eyes, his brows quickly moved because he could sense that below Beautiful Woman’s palm, the old lady’s internal body temperature was frighteningly cold. Such a terribly low temperature did not leak out from within her body that other people could detect it as it was almost fully concealed by some strange powers.

What kind of divine being was Beautiful Woman?

While he was deep in thought, Beautiful Woman already stood up. With a beautiful smile she said, “Just give me three days time and she will fully recover.”

“This… Can you really bring her back to life?” Shui Nanhe had an incredulous tone as he confirmed again.

“Grandpa Medicine Expert, can you really not believe me? As you have already mentioned, Grandpa Medicine Expert, these two cannot survive another quarter of an hour. If this old sister still survives after a quarter of an hour, doesn’t that prove that I am not lying?” Beautiful Woman hardly felt worried.

“Young lady, do you really have the means?” the servant was once again being emotional. As long as she could save them in three days, even three weeks or three months he would still be wild with joy.

“Don’t you worry, as long as she says she can, then that will be fine.” Shui Nanhe was unexpectedly calm. He took a few glimpses at Beautiful Woman, then he chuckled and said, “The peculiar method that you used a while ago gives me a familiar feeling, even if you are not the woman that I met five years ago, then you must be somehow related to her. Such an extraordinary person like you didn’t just speak without thinking. As compared to an old man being regarded as the ‘Medicine Expert’ like me, I really feel ashamed.”

The crowd became silent, everyone seemed to have heard of the implied meaning of this statement, one by one they shifted their gazes towards the woman who would return from the dead. Shui Nanhe’s words were obviously implying that she was the one true extraordinary talent of the medical field.

Beautiful Woman hooked up her eyes, with a timely laugh she said, “Grandpa Medicine Expert, I really don’t deserve your praise. I am just playing a game with little brother.” she rolled her eyes, looked at Ye Wuchen and said, “Little brother, would you believe that, after a quarter of an hour, you will lose?”

“There’s no need to wait that long.” Ye Wuchen laid down two hands that were folded on his chest, while his face stayed expressionless. Then, he did not say anything further, but approached the unconscious mayor, crouched down and lifted up the limp body, making him sit up in a slanting position.

Shui Nanhe gestured with his hands to silence the crowd. Both eyes luminously looked at Ye Wuchen, expecting him to do some universally shocking miracle. Beautiful Woman’s face had a shallow smile, yet she was not worried. She believed a hundred percent that in the whole wide world, she alone had the capability to heal someone who had internal damage like this.

Ye Wuchen straightened up the mayor’s body, took out an unknown pill and put it in his mouth, struck the lower jaw to force him to swallow it, then moved to his back. With one hand supporting him, the other was rubbing his back with slowly movements as threads of Ye Wuchen’s powers penetrated through the back to quickly restore the damaged internal organs and at the same time dissolve the Night Devil Powder. Ye Wuchen powers could dispel all sorts of poisons and they also had the ability to mix with all sorts of poisons, so Ye Wuchen was not afraid of poison. He alone could operate the powers so no other person would be able to sense it, not even the god-level experts. Aside from seeing the movement on his hands, other people would not be able to feel the presence of the powers.

After a minute, Ye Wuchen took back his hands and cautiously said, “President Qin, please give me three silver needles.”

The confused old Qin immediately responded and quickly came back with three silver needles. In a medical competition, it was impossible not to have any silver needles prepared.

Ye Wuchen used the three needles to prick the area two inches from the middle of the back, at the same time the power rushed inside the body through the needles.

The unconscious mayor’s body fiercely trembled and suddenly, his mouth opened, spurting out a mouthful of pitch-black concentrated blood that covered his chest as he violently coughed. After a few coughs, he suddenly lifted up his head. Glancing around in surprise, he asked in a weak voice, “Where is this?”

The surrounding people were petrified.

“Who are you people…” Indeed he was the mayor, as even though he had woken up from in unfamiliar place where people with strange expressions surrounded him, he did not panic, only quickly regaining his composure and weakly asked.

“Master… You are awake, you have finally woken up… Very good… Amazing, physician! Indeed, you are an amazing physician!”

The servant was so excited that he talked without any rhyme, in the midst of despair he finally saw the sun behind the clouds that had settled down his terrified heart so much that he almost wanted to kneel and wail. The mayor’s eyes swept through the people, furrowed his brows and asked, “A-Fu, what happened here? I remember I was having lunch with madame a while ago, then…” He slapped his forehead, the memory that followed was blank. He sensed that something was wrong, and suddenly, he found his wife lying beside him, so he turned pale with shock. He hurriedly moved his body over and shouted, “Beloved wife! What happened to you? What happened to you, my lady!”

“Master, you and madame were poisoned, and almost lost your lives, but this amazing physician saved your life.” A-Fu shouted, with face full of tears he narrated all the things that had happened, but made no mention of the person who put the poison because this was part of the family scandal, not suitable to announce publicly. At the same time, the people in the surroundings were being introduced to him one by one.

Upon hearing of the incident, the mayor was deeply worried. Ignoring his weak body, he was utterly thankful and he begged Ye Wuchen, who was sitting there meditating, “Respected great physician, thank you very much for saving my life, I will certainly engrave this gratitude deep within my heart. I would like to request your utmost mercy again to save my wife’s life, even if I were to sacrifice my own life to repay you, I will certainly do so.”

Ye Wuchen opened his eyes and slowly nodded his head. Since he had used his powers to heal another person, whether the speed, difficulty, and consumption, all of the factors had a greater effect on recuperation.

The crowd which had been kept off by the city guards roared as people incessantly discussed in low voices. Their shock was nothing compared to the shock felt by President Qin and Shui Nanhe, and also… Beautiful Woman. They were the ones who truly understood the mayor and his lady’s condition. It was already incredibly astonishing when Beautiful Woman told them that it would take her three days to save the madame, but Ye Wuchen had woken the mayor just within a quarter of an hour. They could only regard this as something outrageous. Although the mayor looked somehow weak, his facial color gradually turned rosy, with the appearance of just having recovered from a minor illness, more likely he was already fully recovered!

Even if Shui Nanhe had a very big expectations, this moment, his expression was so exaggerated as if he had seen a ghost in the broad daylight. Moreover, from the beginning until the end, he simply could not find the real method that Ye Wuchen had used to save him. President Qin was so utterly speechless that he forgot to greet the mayor and only incessantly repeated, “So mysterious… Mysterious indeed…”

Beautiful Woman’s smile had stiffened for quite a long time. For the first time, her face exposed an alarmed expression. Her gaze directly focused on Ye Wuchen and her eyes swiftly moved restlessly as she took another look at this young man.

“Thank you, amazing physician, thank you very much.” After seeing Ye Wuchen nod his head, the mayor immediately expressed his gratitude. In his panic, he lost his poise as the mayor. Indeed, according to A-Fu’s statement, they had almost died, and even the Medicine Expert could do nothing about it, remarking “even the gods cannot save them.” Yet here he was, saved, just like that. Such an extraordinary person, although he looked like someone of less than twenty years of age, he did not neglect saving him.

Ye Wuchen proceeded behind the old madame, similar to before he lifted her up, let her swallow a pill, then pressed a hand on her back, and used the similar method that he had used on mayor to heal her.

Using his power to dissolve the poison and restore the damages, then by means of the silver needles to expel the badly affected blood. The pills that he let them swallow were just used to fool people, they were just some oral liniments that Wang Wenshu had prepared for him.

The old madame was similar to the mayor, after vomiting out the blood, she regained her consciousness. Aside from being weak, she was no longer in danger. In hearing about the incidents that had happened, she was also very thankful to Ye Wuchen.

When Ye Wuchen stood up, his body slightly swayed and his mind had a sense of dizziness. His face was tranquil and calm and he did not decline the expression of gratitude, but he just casted a glance at Beautiful Woman only to discover that she was looking at him with a faint smile. She was batting her eyelashes as if throwing flirtatious glances at him.

“The two of you please don’t be too polite, it was just a very slight effort of mine. Although the two of you were already fine, you needed to return home early to get some rest. Take good care of your health for few more days then you will certainly recover.” Ye Wuchen said.

“No, no. I’m already fine, amazing physician’s great favor for saving our lives, how can I just walk away from it? We would like to invite the amazing physician to visit our humble house.” The mayor said respectfully.

“That is not necessary.” Ye Wuchen efficiently declined.

The mayor, seeing his dull expression, was obliged to settle for the second best and said, “Since the great physician insists, then I will not persevere any further. May I know your name?”

Ye Wuchen narrowed his eyes, his pressing gaze directly focused on the mayor’s eyes, as if he could see through the thoughts, “Superior Yu, who I am, you really don’t know? Superior Yu and Madame Yu, please return home now, your health is more important.”

He had been aware all along that when mayor Yu looked at him, his eyes fiercely flickered a few times. Furthermore, usually a mayor in a region had huge authority as well as great power of influence, even if he had saved his life, he should not be so respectful towards him like that. This clearly explained that this mayor had certainly seen him before and he knew of his identity. A big possibility was from the previous competition.

Mayor Yu’s mind trembled with fear, but he regained his composure and said, “If that is the case, then I must return now, I do hope the great physician could find time to visit our residence. President Qin and also the honorable Medicine Expert, so sorry for interrupting your Medical Assembly, I shall take my leave now.”

After speaking, he nodded towards the people in the crowd one by one, got unto his palanquin and left.

The mayor and the city guards had just left when Shui Nanhe panicked as he moved closer beside Ye Wuchen, in an urgent voice he said, “Young brother, young brother, what method did you just use a while ago? That was simply outrageous, if I didn’t personally see it…”

“Elder Medicine Expert, this competition between this older sister and I, who wins?” Ye Wuchen interrupted his words disrespectfully, as he asked with a smiling face.

“Of course you win. This is truly an eye-opening matter for me. I originally thought that your medical skills were greater than mine, yet I didn’t expect it to reach such greatest degree. You must quickly tell me…”

“If that’s the case, do you have anything more to say, older sister?” Ye Wuchen interrupted him once again, looking at Beautiful Woman with a mischievous face.

Beautiful Woman moved her perfect waist, took a few steps forwards and discontentedly said, “Look at you, I’m really glad that I lost. What more can I say? Little brother, I’ll let you handle me in any way you want.”

“Really?” Ye Wuchen laughed mischievously, his eyes firmly took a few glimpse at her face and neck before he moved his gaze away.

“President Qin, do you have a paper and pen?” Ye Wuchen asked.

“Ah? Yes, yes.” Old Qin really admired this god-like extraordinary young man, evidently he would do whatever was requested as he immediately ran up the stage to get the paper and pen, then returned. Ye Wuchen took them, did not ponder and directly started to write, after a short while he stopped, then returned the paper and pen to old Qin.

When old Qin took them he quickly looked, yet they were just simple prescriptions. Exactly as Ye Wuchen mentioned before, they were to be given to each one of the elders for their health.
