Chapter 519 - Chapter 519: Chapter 526: Fierce Struggle (2/2)
“The key to this girl’s awakening is not with me. I can assist in gathering her soul, but whether she can actually be awakened depends on her,” Divine Doctor Mu replied.
Sikong Ling was somewhat dismissive upon hearing the first part of Divine Doctor Mu’s statement, expecting yet another doctor without the means to wake Su Wenyue, thinking the mystical talk was just for show. It wasn’t until he heard the latter part that his expression improved, waiting to see Divine Doctor Mu’s methods.
After finishing his explanation, Divine Doctor Mu looked at Han Yu, “Since she’s your wife, surely you must be a person your wife cares about. When I use my method to gather her soul, you should try your hardest to call out to her, and talk about things she cares about in order to pull her out of her dream.”
Seeing Han Yu nod, Divine Doctor Mu took a set of silver needles from his medicine box and retrieved an object resembling an incense candle, yet slightly different, and then asked the servants to prepare some other items.
Once everything was ready, Divine Doctor Mu asked everyone to leave the room, leaving only Han Yu.
“I am going to apply needles to your wife, so strip off her excess clothing, leaving only her lingerie,” Divine Doctor Mu spoke and glanced at Han Yu, whose expressionless face showed no emotion, but still he added as an explanation.
“A doctor has a parental heart. Everyone is the same in my eyes. Your wife has been ill for quite a few days, and her condition is somewhat serious. Needle therapy is required to aid her, or it will not be effective.”
The Divine Doctor, though eccentric, held high medical ethics, always considering the patients’ needs first. He had encountered similar situations before when saving people. If someone was more conservative, they would rather let their wife remain ill than allow him to treat her, all in the name of so-called chastity, which he found both ridiculous and frustrating. Coming back to the point, he figured no man would be indifferent to such matters, although wearing lingerie meant nothing would really be revealed.
“Just do what you need to do, Divine Doctor. I am not one of those conservative men, and I don’t care about formalities. Whatever methods you use, as long as you can cure my wife, I won’t mind,” Han Yu stated immediately, valuing his wife’s safety above anything else, especially since she would still be covered by her lingerie.
The Divine Doctor, satisfied with Han Yu’s words, nodded in approval. He was someone who understood priorities, and started his work right away. First, he lit the ‘incense candle’ and performed several actions, then placed the candle at the head of the bed. The room was soon filled with an odd fragrance, reminiscent of sandalwood, yet distinct.
With the Soul Gathering Incense burning, Divine Doctor Mu took up the set of silver needles, sterilized them, and began inserting them into various acupoints all over Su Wenyue’s body.
Su Wenyue’s brow furrowed and sweat beaded on her forehead, while pain and struggle registered on her face. Her dream was a memory of the past life’s most painful moments in Sikong Mansion.
“No, no, my child, you vile woman, you won’t die a good death! …” Su Wenyue cradled her stomach in agony, feeling her life force ebbing away, and a sense of malice rose within her, so intense it nearly engulfed both her and her enemies, causing her to fall into a demonic abyss.
“Han Yu, hold down your wife. Don’t let her thrash about, or she may hurt herself,” Divine Doctor Mu instructed as Su Wenyue’s body became filled with silver needles. On the final step, Divine Doctor Mu paused and spoke to Han Yu. Seeing Han Yu comply with his instructions, he then took the final needle, followed the same sterilizing steps, and inserted the silver needle into a certain area on Su Wenyue’s head. Previously unresponsive, Su Wenyue suddenly began struggling violently.
