Chapter 176 Unexpectedly Gaining Abilities, She's Confident She'll Give It a Try

Xia Yuhuan snapped out of her daze and quickly shook her head: "No, I wasn't scared by your legs."

She was clearly frightened by herself.

To be able to see through appearances to the underlying bone structure, to have X-ray vision... what an incredible ability!

Xia Yuhuan never imagined that she would have such an ability one day.

It seems that ever since she transmigrated into the book and gained a spatial ability, she has become exceptionally lucky.

Various buffs would unexpectedly fall on her, catching her completely off guard.

Wang Aiping did not believe her explanation.

But she was very courteous and cooperated without exposing him.

She said gently, "It would be even better if you weren't scared. If you were, I would feel bad for you."

Xia Yuhuan grabbed Wang Aiping's leg again.

"Grandma Wang, I didn't see it clearly just now. Please wait and let me take another look."

Wang Aiping wanted to refuse, but seeing Xia Yuhuan's serious expression, she swallowed the refusal that was on the tip of her tongue and couldn't say it anymore.

Fine, let's watch it then, there's nothing wrong with watching it.

Seeing this, Grandma Zhao felt hopeful again and was overjoyed.

Afterwards, Xia Yuhuan carefully observed Wang Aiping's legs.

She finally realized that she did indeed possess the X-ray vision to see through muscle tissue all the way down to human bones.

This horrified her.

She looked up at Grandma Zhao standing to the side, and everything seemed normal.

It seems that there are limitations to seeing beyond appearances; physical contact is necessary.

Xia Yuhuan quickly came to the answer.

She gently pressed a spot with her thumb.

"Grandma Wang, if I press here, will the pain intensify?"

Wang Aiping was so pained that she fainted.

Her face was pale, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence, only managing a soft "hmm".

Xia Yuhuan said, "If you want to cure this pain completely, you have to remove the bullet embedded in your bone. Otherwise, you will continue to be tormented by this pain."

Wang Aiping smiled upon hearing this and said, "I know. I tried to get treatment before, but no one could cure me."

One problem is that no one can cure it, and the other is that no one dares to cure it.

After all, she is old, and the risks of surgery are inherently high. If something goes wrong, she might not make it off the operating table.

Most importantly, the bullet was embedded in a very tricky spot, and no one was confident they could remove it.

After discussing it together, the doctors all felt that Wang Aiping was too old, and once she went into surgery, she might not be able to get off, so there was no need to go through the ordeal.

"If I said I was somewhat confident and could give it a try, would you be willing to take the gamble?" Xia Yuhuan asked tentatively.

When she said this, both Wang Aiping and Grandma Zhao were stunned.

They never expected to hear such an answer from Xia Yuhuan.

Even Grandma Zhao was the same.

She invited Xia Yuhuan over simply to ask her to give Wang Aiping acupuncture to see if it could alleviate her pain.

I never expected that Xia Yuhuan would say that she could try to remove the culprit that had been bothering Wang Aiping for many years.

Xia Yuhuan wasn't worried when she saw that the two elderly people were so shocked that they were speechless.

She said, "I am quite confident that I can remove the bullet for you."

"However, you are quite old, and such a major operation would be quite painful for you. You can think it over carefully before making a decision if you want to give it a try."

"I'll administer acupuncture to stop your pain now. You can think about removing the bullet later."

As Xia Yuhuan spoke, she took out a needle kit from the medicine box and began to administer acupuncture to Wang Aiping.

She was very quick; in no time, Wang Aiping's legs were covered in needles.

Then, Xia Yuhuan slowly twisted the silver needles at several important acupoints.

"If you feel any pain, just let me know and I'll stop."

"Please don't try to be strong and force yourself to endure the pain. If the pain is intense, you must speak up," Xia Yuhuan said.

"Okay," Grandma Wang replied softly.

Xia Yuhuan then continued to treat her.

After she finally finished administering acupuncture to Grandma Wang, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her own forehead.

Xia Yuhuan took the needle out and asked Wang Aiping, "Grandma Wang, how are you feeling? Are you alright?"

"Good, good, good, it couldn't be better. Ever since my leg became useless, I haven't had a good night's sleep for so many years. I've been tormented by leg pain all this time."

"But I feel very comfortable now, more comfortable than ever before."

"It's so comfortable that I feel like I could close my eyes and fall asleep right now," Wang Aiping said excitedly.

Xia Yuhuan chuckled softly: "As long as you feel comfortable, that's fine. This kind of pain is indeed too agonizing and too torturous."

"I'll apply some more ointment to you to improve blood circulation and generate heat in your legs, making you feel more comfortable."

“Okay, then thank you for your trouble, Xia.” Wang Aiping agreed without hesitation.

At that moment, she suddenly believed Xia Yuhuan's words: she was confident she could remove the bullet.

If Xia Yuhuan can't remove the bullet, then no one else can either.

Xia Yuhuan, unaware of what Wang Aiping was thinking, took out some ointment, first applying a layer to her knees, then vigorously rubbing her hands together to warm them before beginning to massage Wang Aiping's knees.

Her technique was neither too light nor too heavy, and she deliberately avoided the spot where Wang Aiping was injured.

After Xia Yuhuan finished massaging her, Wang Aiping had already made her decision.

"Xia, you just said you were confident. How confident are you?" Wang Aiping asked.

"Around 50%," Xia Yuhuan said after thinking for a moment.

With the added cheating tool of X-ray vision, she was 100% confident.

But one shouldn't speak too definitively, so she could only speak conservatively.

Little did they know that even a mere 50% certainty was enough to shock Wang Aiping and Grandma Zhao.

It's worth noting that those who diagnosed Wang Aiping previously only had a 10% chance of being certain, or even less.

Going to the operating table with such a low chance of success is tantamount to sending someone to their death.

So before Wang Aiping could object, her family members objected.

Wang Aiping originally thought that even if Xia Yuhuan had only a 20% or 30% chance of success, she would still be willing to take the job to earn the income, let alone now that Xia Yuhuan said she had a 50% chance.

Without hesitation, she said, "Yes! Xia, when do you think would be a good time to arrange it?"

Xia Yuhuan asked in surprise, "Don't you want to discuss this with your family before making a decision?"

“They will respect my opinion,” Wang Aiping said with a faint smile.

It's clear that she's a very decisive person.

He seemed to have made a decision he would never regret.

Xia Yuhuan said, "Don't rush. I need to take care of your health first. Your physical condition is not good, so it's not suitable for surgery right now."

Perhaps due to the prolonged suffering from illness, Wang Aiping's body was quite weak. With such a physical condition, even if she went to the operating table, she might not be able to come off.

So even if surgery is required, it will take her some time to get Wang Aiping's physical condition back in good shape.

Wang Aiping said, "Okay, then thank you for your hard work, Xia."

Her gaze was gentle and tolerant, a stark contrast to the oppressive feeling I had when we first met.

After Xia Yuhuan finished massaging her legs, she asked, "How are you feeling now?"
