Before making the incision, Shen Xingmian disinfected the surrounding skin. Although she had healing abilities, this step wasn't crucial, but her past life experience made her do it habitually.

As soon as the scalpel gently cut open the skin next to the red dot, blood began to flow, and Shen Xingmian's supernatural ability followed.

The child is so thin, and with all the bleeding, I don't know how long it will take for him to recover through diet alone.

We should try to control it as much as possible.

Anyway, through recent training, I've accumulated a bit more healing-type abilities, which should be enough to handle today's situation.

Shen Xingmian was still very nervous about having to completely break through the skin until she could see the heart. This nervousness intensified as the scalpel went deeper into the wound.

She had never been this nervous when committing murder, because no matter what method she used, the final result was that she "killed" the person.

But now, she not only has to cut open the skin to lure out the worms, but she also has to close the wound.

Without her special abilities, she probably would have needed several years of clinical practice before daring to perform this extremely dangerous surgery.

As the incision deepened, she gradually began to see things further inside.

In that instant, she suddenly felt a pang of regret. She shouldn't have acted recklessly just because she had superpowers. Instead, she should have practiced on someone first, like the corpse of the princess in the space.

Oh right, the body hasn't been disposed of yet.

Oh my god, what is she thinking at such a crucial moment?

But if she didn't let her thoughts wander a little, she was so nervous that she could barely hold the scalpel. The thought of her heart being right below made her uncontrollably panic.

"Sweetie, calm down. Even if your heart is ripped open, you can still save the person, right? So there's nothing to be nervous about! Stay calm."

Shen Zhiheng suddenly spoke up.

These words awakened Shen Xingmian. Yes, so what if her heart was pierced? She was watching closely, and her supernatural abilities would immediately follow. She wouldn't let Xiao Yanyue die like that.

!!

Once she calmed down, her hands steadied as well. She calmed her breathing and then continued to plunge the scalpel deeper.

Throughout the entire process, she used her supernatural abilities to sense the location of the Gu worms.

The little thing seemed to have eaten its fill yesterday and was fast asleep, remaining completely still until it sensed the supernatural power and was lured awake.

Upon sensing the movement of the Gu worm, Shen Xingmian immediately increased the intensity of her supernatural power, frantically stimulating the Gu worm, hoping to tempt it into crawling out on its own.

But this process is not easy; compared to the ability to exude fragrance, the primal craving for the heart and flesh is much stronger.

Despite his strong craving for the superpower that was so close at hand, he couldn't bear to leave his pounding heart.

The process went on for a long time, so long that Shen Xingmian was about to give up and wanted to abandon the action. At this moment, Shen Zhiheng suddenly opened a small porcelain bottle, pointed the bottle opening at the wound, and gently fanned it twice with his other hand.

This is what Guaibao told us before. If attracting it with just one thing doesn't work, use the magical supernatural water as an aid. Combining the two might just work.

Sure enough, the two flavors combined finally overpowered the heart's attraction to the Gu worm.

Although he couldn't see it, Shen Xingmian's special ability allowed him to clearly sense that it was slowly crawling towards him.

Her expression brightened, and she regained her composure, intending to wait until the little insect was lured out.

When the time comes, just put it in a small porcelain bottle, then throw it into the fire and burn it. I guarantee it will be reduced to ashes and can no longer harm anyone.

The wait was a very long process. If the two of them hadn't eaten and slept well, they probably would have fallen by now after being stuck in this stalemate for so long.

Just as Shen Xingmian's patience was about to run out, she finally saw a small worm crawl out of the wound. She quickly activated her healing ability to make the wound heal rapidly, completely blocking its way back.

Then, a pair of tweezers appeared in his hand, and with lightning speed, he pinched the insect and dropped it into the porcelain bottle.

She didn't even want to wait until the fire was lit; she was prepared to throw some of her supernatural fire into it and burn the damned Gu worm to death on the spot. But before she could do it, she suddenly stopped and carefully put the lid back on.

"I'll take it to that old doctor later. If it has any medicinal value, then all that suffering won't have been for nothing."

Shen Xingmian wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled wearily.

She was so tense, and her physical strength was almost being depleted at the same rate as when she fought the octopus monster. No, she needed to lie down and rest.

"By the way, Grandpa, I'll leave bandaging the wound to you. You're much better at this than I am. Everything's here, you don't need anything, right?"

Shen Zhiheng looked down and nodded, "We don't need anything. My dear, go lie down for a while. I'll take the bottle to the doctor later."

Shen Xingmian was completely relieved and threw herself onto the bed next to her, closing her eyes to rest.

It's so nice to tell your biggest secret to your family; there's always someone to help you with the simple yet complicated problems that follow.

After being exhausted, not having to worry about what to do next and being able to pull myself together to finish is such a blessing.

As she pondered these thoughts, she drifted off to sleep.

When they woke up again, it seemed like not much time had passed. Xiao Yanyue was still asleep, and there were only the two of them in the room.

She got up and checked his wound. It was indeed treated very well, with only a little fresh blood seeping out, making it look perfectly normal.

She had become accustomed to leaving a superficial wound to make herself look more like an ordinary doctor, rather than a superhuman whose abilities were incomprehensible to people of this era.

If they continue to spend time together, they will eventually be discovered. Hopefully, by then, their relationship, or rather, the entanglement of interests, will be strong enough for her to have enough leverage.

A sense of security is something that you have to give yourself to truly feel at ease.

Stretching, Shen Xingmian stepped out of the room, intending to see what the adults were doing and how the little bug was finally dealt with.

When she was led to the council hall by the servants, she saw several people with slightly serious expressions, who were discussing something around a small porcelain bottle on the table.

Upon seeing her enter, Shen Zhiheng immediately waved and said, "My darling, come here quickly. The doctor said that this insect does have medicinal value, but it is difficult for it to survive. Once it leaves the human body, it will die very quickly."

"Huh? Is he really that useless?"

After saying that, she covered her mouth in embarrassment. Oh dear, how could she have accidentally blurted out the truth?

The doctor stroked his beard and said, "It's not that it's useless, but that everything has its strengths and weaknesses. Otherwise, wouldn't that be going against the laws of nature?"

Shen Xingmian thought about it and felt that the old doctor's words made a lot of sense. It seems that he hadn't lived in vain.

"So what should we do with this bug? Can we burn it and grind it into ash?" Shen Xingmian asked curiously.

"Absolutely not!"
