"No—!" Chef Li let out a wailing that shook the entire room. "Qianrui is not dead, she can't be dead! You're all lying to me, how could she possibly be dead? Although she has been critically ill time and time again, she always manages to come back to life. She absolutely won't die, she would never leave us!" His voice was so sorrowful that it was almost inhuman.

"Brother, calm down." Butler Zhao hugged him, and tears welled up in his eyes as well.

Suddenly, Chef Li rushed frantically to his daughter's side, and Butler Zhao followed. Only then did they notice that Luo Xiaoyi had laid Li Qianrui's body flat on the ground. She was pressing and rubbing the Baihui acupoint in the center of Li Qianrui's head with her left index finger, and holding a long silver needle in her right hand. The needle was very long, about ten centimeters long.

Luo Xiaoyi's actions really startled everyone.

"Young Madam, what are you doing?" Butler Zhao was stunned.

Luo Xiaoyi's expression was solemn. "Baihui acupoint is the meeting point of all meridians, connecting the whole body. This is a risky move. I will not use this method to save people unless absolutely necessary. Of course, if it works, everything will be fine. If it doesn't work, or if there is any carelessness, the deceased will bleed from all seven orifices and die a very ugly death."

Her words were somewhat chilling and eerie, leaving Butler Zhao and Chef Li momentarily stunned.

Butler Zhao thought to himself, "Judging from her posture, is she going to use some kind of evil trick to save people? What kind of crazy method is this? It won't save people, and it will only make her look bad. It will also make Chef Li even more heartbroken. Why bother?"

“Young Madam, I know you are kind-hearted, but some things have already happened, and there is nothing we can do about it. We can only leave it to fate and obey the will of heaven. It is all destiny.”

Butler Zhao's sorrowful tone suggested that he had already accepted that the person was dead, so why bother with anything else and only add to the grief?

Butler Zhao's implication was that Luo Xiaoyi should stay out of the matter, lest she make things worse, causing Chef Li to feel hopeful one moment and then despair the next, making it even harder for him to accept.

"But what if it succeeds? Li Qianrui could come back to life! How can we miss such a unique opportunity?" Luo Xiaoyi thought that this Butler Zhao was usually quite smart, so why had he become so stubborn now?

"In some families that are more feudal and superstitious, even if someone dies, they cannot be allowed to have such a terrible death. There is a legend that if a family member dies with blood flowing from all seven orifices, it means that their soul has been taken away by a ghost and they will surely go to hell after death. Moreover, they will bring misfortune to their family members, who will die one by one for no reason."

Chef Li spoke in a cold voice, his eyes revealing utter terror.

“What a terrifying legend!” Even Butler Zhao felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing it.

“Young Madam, since that’s the case, then don’t try to revive her. Let the deceased rest in peace.” Butler Zhao’s voice was trying his best to dissuade her, because he didn’t believe that the young madam could save Li Qianrui.

"No, this is a critical moment, a matter of life and death. How can you believe in superstitions? Put that superstition aside and save lives first, okay?"

Luo Xiaoyi was extremely anxious, her face full of worry. She spotted the acupoint, raised her hand, and prepared to stab Li Qianrui on the top of her head!

Although Chef Li desperately wanted to save his daughter, the doctors all said she was already dead. Why should someone who is already dead be stabbed in the seven orifices and sent to hell? And why should the living suffer as well?

Chef Li was a countryman and had always been very superstitious. He even deeply believed in some folk superstitions. After gritting his teeth and hesitating for a long time, he finally made a decision: "Young Madam, thank you for your kindness. I want my daughter to rest in peace."

Chef Li grabbed Luo Xiaoyi's hand.

"Chef Li, if you keep dawdling, your daughter is really going to die! If you don't seize the opportunity now, once these ten minutes are over, even a god can't save her!"
