"You know your mother-in-law holds all the financial power," Li Cheng said, taking out a bank card and handing it to Yang Qi. "I don't have much either. Hurry and go; they should be back soon. It'll be a huge problem if Qiutong finds out you're not dead."
"I'll take the money. It was mine to begin with," Yang Qi said, snatching the bank card. "But you can drop the act. Don't worry, I won't go so far as to harm a blind man. You're just doing this because you're afraid I'll kill you for revenge, aren't you?"
Li Cheng looked somewhat embarrassed. That was, in fact, exactly what he was thinking. One could imagine that someone who had just walked back from the Ghost Gate would be filled with hatred for those who had wronged him.
"I know you're about to call Li Qiutong. Good. While you're at it, tell her this for me. Tell her that I will repay her and that bastard Zhang Peng for everything they did to me.
"And the Li Family mansion? I will take it back with my own hands. I will reclaim everything I've lost!
"I'm going to make her regret it!"
With that, Yang Qi left. He withdrew the money from a nearby ATM and then tossed the card.
What should I do next? Yang Qi stood on a bustling street, feeling utterly lost.
Suddenly, he remembered what had happened in his dream and couldn't help but recall the details. The contents of the Dragon God Technique were incredibly clear in his mind. He tried to circulate the Dragon God Technique, and a strange wisp of energy began to flow from his fingertips.
This! Could this be the legendary Spiritual Energy?
Yang Qi was ecstatic. He hadn't known what to do next, but with the Dragon God Technique, as long as he focused on his Cultivation, what couldn't he achieve in the future? He might even become an immortal!
First, I need to find a place to settle down.
Yang Qi took stock of his situation. Currently, his only possessions were a cellphone and 20,000 in cash—not including the card from the Fairy in his dream, of course. It was an embarrassing predicament. For a business genius once worth a billion to be reduced to such a destitute state was a truly lamentable turn of events.
He was about to look for a place to rent when he passed by the Kang River. Suddenly, a cry for help came from nearby. "Help! Help! Someone, please!"
Yang Qi hesitated for a moment, but his innate decency compelled him to immediately turn and run toward the sound. Did someone fall into the water?
After running a short distance, he saw a crowd gathered and squeezed his way through. Suddenly, a familiar face appeared before him—one that was ethereally beautiful, just like a Fairy!
It's her! The Fairy from my dream, the one I had a one-night stand with!
At that moment, Lin Qingxuan was lying on the ground, curled into a ball. A layer of frost covered her entire body, and even the ground around her seemed to be icing over. Assistant Qin was crying out, but she didn't dare to touch Lin Qingxuan. A few bodyguards had tried to get Lin Qingxuan into a car, but it was no use. Anything that touched Lin Qingxuan, including people, was instantly frozen solid.
Yang Qi took a few steps forward, sensing the memories of the Medical Skills within his mind, as well as the faint wisp of Spiritual Energy at his fingertips.
Perhaps I can do this!
His confidence stemmed from a passage from the Dragon God Technique that had surfaced in his mind. The content was specifically about the Extreme Yin Body.
The Extreme Yin Body was a bizarre constitution, one rarely seen in a thousand years, belonging to a female born in a place of extreme yin at a time of extreme yin. From birth, those with an Extreme Yin Body were tormented by Cold Poison, and most did not live past the age of three. Even if their lives were extended with Elixirs, they would not live past thirty.
The only exception was if the Extreme Yin encountered a Pure Yang, and they united intimately. If this was repeated nine times, the Extreme Yin could defy fate and turn misfortune into great fortune. After the first intimate union, the Cold Poison within the Extreme Yin Body would begin to erupt, a sign that the Pure Yang had broken through its hold. At that point, a person with a Pure Yang Body had to use Spiritual Energy as a guide to help expel the Cold Poison from the Extreme Yin Body's system.
Yang Qi now understood that he possessed the Pure Yang Body. And the fairy-like woman before him was obviously the owner of an Extreme Yin Body.
What a miraculous fate!
Feeling the mountain of information on complex and difficult diseases in his mind, Yang Qi couldn't help but smile. With the Dragon God Technique, won't I become a Divine Doctor in the future? He had only studied medical theory before, with no clinical experience, but now, he was even more skilled.
He had to act, or the girl wouldn't live much longer. Besides, they had a history now; he couldn't just stand by and watch her die. Thinking this, he rushed forward.
"What are you doing!" A bodyguard blocked his path. Though they couldn't touch Lin Qingxuan, they wouldn't allow a stranger to act recklessly either.
"I can help her!" Yang Qi shouted.
"Are you Yang Qi? I've seen your file. A con artist?" Assistant Qin recognized Yang Qi with some surprise. "I heard the Zhang Family took care of you—stuffed you in a sack and threw you in the river. I can't believe you're still alive and kicking! Heaven is truly unfair. So merciful to a fraud like you, yet so cruel to our Miss!"
"Save the nonsense for later! She's in grave danger, and only I can save her!" Yang Qi said urgently.
"You can save our Miss? I think you're just trying to take advantage of her," Assistant Qin said coldly. "You probably saw how beautiful she is and want to get involved with her. Let me tell you, get lost now, or don't blame me for getting rough!"
Yang Qi was incredibly frustrated. He just wanted to save her, but this woman completely misunderstood him. This was infuriating. He couldn't just stand by and watch the Fairy from his dream die, could he?
"Miss! Miss, wake up!" Yang Qi shouted. "If you can still speak, let me treat you! I know you have Cold Poison in your body, and I have a way to help!"
At this point, his only hope was for the girl to speak for herself. She seemed to be some important young lady, so her people wouldn't dare to disobey a direct order.
Though her body was ice-cold and curled into a ball, Lin Qingxuan could still hear Yang Qi's words. She was completely shocked. Isn't this the man from our one-night stand? He's the legendary medical genius, Yang Qi? Not a beggar? She was dazed, her thoughts a whirlwind.
I thought I'd never see him again after that one night, yet here he is.
She didn't want Yang Qi to touch her, but for some reason, she felt a strange attraction when he came near, as if they shared some kind of natural connection.
"Stop messing around! You're a con artist who even plagiarized his medical techniques, what good can you do?" Assistant Qin snapped, signaling to the bodyguards. "Get him out of here! Where is the doctor? If he doesn't get here soon, we're going to have a serious problem!"
"Let… let him try… I… I'm in so much pain!"
For some reason, a voice inside Lin Qingxuan kept repeating a single message.
Let him try! Let Yang Qi try! He can do it!
