Lin Beichen once said that from now on she could live her life leisurely. Whether she sought a partner or chose to live alone, Lin Beichen would not interfere.
However, he did not expect that just a month later, Zhao Weinan would become a near-octogenarian, waiting for death.
The trace of cold energy left in her body by Qin Wenwu not only sapped her Yang Qi but also corroded her internal organs.
That Zhao Weinan could survive a month was almost a miracle.
Because according to the judgment of several domestic and foreign expert teams, Zhao Weinan should have died long ago.
What they did not know was that the trace of Spiritual Qi Lin Beichen left in Zhao Weinan’s body was barely sustaining the girl’s spirit.
Lin Beichen could ensure the girl did not die, but the pain she endured over the past month was very real.
Before coming here, Lin Beichen was quite certain that he had never liked Zhao Weinan.
So even though Zhao Weinan was seriously injured and on the brink of death, he did not feel too anxious.
However, upon actually seeing Zhao Weinan, especially her ravaged and disfigured appearance, Lin Beichen felt a piercing anger.
Since he achieved greatness, he had never felt such anger fill his heart.
"You get out first."
Lin Beichen said coldly.
"Sir, Zhao Weinan’s condition is very critical, we have to stay here."
The intensive care nurse explained.
"I told you to get out."
Lin Beichen said each word forcefully.
The young nurse’s face showed dissatisfaction, and she even felt a bit angry. Just as she was about to argue, Zhao Yixia next to her suddenly pulled her away.
The hospital had used all its equipment. Although this wasn’t the top facility in the country, considering the current situation, even the most advanced international medical techniques wouldn’t be able to stabilize Zhao Weinan’s condition.
Whether she would live or die, it was now up to Lin Beichen.
"Mr. Li Jiang said he has already become an Immortal. Are there really such Immortals in this world? But there are many unexplainable things about him. Although he still looks like Lin Beichen, is he really the same person he was before?"
Zhao Yixia thought complexly.
Just before she closed the door, Lin Beichen’s voice rang out.
"Go tell Qin Wenwu to wash his neck and wait for me in the Jiangnan Water Village. In three days, I will take his head!"
Zhao Yixia was slightly stunned, and as she turned back to look at Lin Beichen, she saw his finger pressing on Zhao Weinan’s forehead, and a strand of blue light seemed to flash by.
"Perhaps Zhao Weinan can be saved."
Zhao Yixia thought excitedly and hurriedly ran to Zhongcheng Hall.
She wanted to share this news and then issue a challenge in the name of Zhongcheng Hall.
A month ago, Qin Wenwu challenged Lin Beichen.
Over this month, the voice of criticism grew louder as time passed, saying Lin Beichen dared not respond to the challenge.
This matter needed to be resolved.
In the ward, Zhao Weinan slowly revealed her head from under the blanket, her withered face showing a trace of girlish shyness.
"I don’t want you to see me like this. You must think I’m an ugly monster."
"How you look is just a skin; birth, aging, illness, and death are inevitable. This skin can be discarded at any time."
Lin Beichen said indifferently.
"I don’t understand what you’re saying. It’s too profound. I just want to be beautiful in front of you, and I only care about your opinion."
Zhao Weinan suddenly said, not knowing where she got the courage from.
"Actually, I have long known you don’t love me. In your heart, I am just an ordinary girl, even a bit silly, but that’s how I want it to be.
Even if I can’t have you, I want you to remember me, remember a girl named Zhao Weinan."
Lin Beichen’s eyes flickered slightly and he suddenly shifted his gaze.
"Is that the reason you challenged Qin Wenwu?"
"Not just that, at that time everyone else knelt down. If I also knelt, it would mean Qin Wenwu had won!
Everyone knows Zhongcheng Hall is yours. Although you did not challenge him, I didn’t want your reputation to be tarnished!"
Zhao Weinan wanted to say much more, but her energy was low.
These few sentences had already consumed most of her energy for the best day in a month.
She stared dazedly at Lin Beichen, her gaze softening.
"Maybe I’ve been without you too long, it feels like you’ve become even more handsome, almost more perfect than in my dreams.
I really am unworthy of you. You are so perfect, and I’ve become an old woman, you..."
"Qin Wenwu’s methods are really nothing."
Lin Beichen suddenly said, his voice colder.
"Now that I am here, not just Qin Wenwu, even if King Yama wants your life, I will bring you back from the Underworld!
It is but a mortal body. If this one fails, I can give you a new one!"
"I said that in your lifetime, you will be happy and not suffer any pain."
Lin Beichen finished coldly and clapped his hands, filling the room with Withered and Flourishing Qi.
The surging Withered and Flourishing Qi poured into Lin Beichen’s body from all directions and coalesced into mysterious Spiritual Lights through the Withered and Flourishing Physique.
These Spiritual Lights contained intense Life Qi, carrying energy potent enough to induce new life and converging on Lin Beichen’s fingers.
"Withered and Flourishing Physique, controlling Heaven and Earth’s Life Essence Qi, heed my command and be reborn!"
The divine technique Lin Beichen wielded was not something that could be used at Tier One.
