"But, but the baby has already been induced. Even if we can't save the baby, please think of a way to save the mother." The man broke down in tears: "I can't lose her."
The man was in his thirties, with a scar on his forehead; it was easy to tell he was a soldier.
It was common for him to suffer hardships and get injured while guarding the frontier, and he had never uttered a sound of complaint, but now he broke down in tears.
“The chance of survival is gone, even a god can't save us, unless…” Yuan Zhengde frowned slightly, hesitating whether to ask that person for help.
Just then, Ye Xingchen walked over: "Elder Yuan, what's wrong?"
"Mr. Ye?" Yuan Zhengde was overjoyed. He had been hesitating whether to risk his reputation and beg Ye Xingchen to save the person, but he didn't expect Ye Xingchen to actually come.
“Xiao Liu, this is Mr. Ye. If he is willing to help, your wife and child have at least an 80% chance of survival,” Yuan Zhengde shouted.
Thump... The man knelt down directly in front of Ye Xingchen: "Mr. Ye, please save my wife and children. I, Liu Xuesong, will repay your great kindness even if I have to be your slave in my next life."
At the critical moment of life and death, the man had no doubt about Yuan Zhengde's words.
"Get up. Your name is Liu Xuesong?" Ye Xingchen's gaze held a strange glint. "Is your father Liu Kaifeng?"
"Yes, he is Liu Kaifeng. And you are?" Liu Xuesong looked at Ye Xingchen with surprise.
"Get up. Don't worry, I'll protect your wife and children's lives. Even if the King of Hell comes, he won't be able to take them away." Ye Xingchen helped him up and then stepped into the ward.
Liu Kaifeng was once as famous as his father.
After his father's accident, he gave up the opportunity for promotion and stayed in the western border, hoping to one day find his father's remains.
Unfortunately, he passed away from illness ten years ago. Before his death, he instructed his son to take over his post and continue guarding the western border. He also told his son that if Ye Jinyu ever returned to his hometown, he should inform him at his grave.
The son of an old friend, who sacrificed his future to guard the western border for his father, must repay this favor.
In the ward, a woman in labor was connected to various instruments, her breath was faint, and her heart was almost in a straight line.
Meanwhile, medical staff were holding a newborn baby, and a group of neonatologists were trying their best to save the infant.
"It's no use, let's give up and notify the family to come over."
"It's a pity, the child had been suffocating for too long, and there was no way to save him."
"This mother probably isn't going to make it either. How can someone with a heart condition dare to have a child?"
Seeing that there was no hope of saving him, some of the doctors also gave up.
"Everyone, get out," Ye Xingchen ordered in a deep voice.
"What do you do?" a doctor asked, puzzled.
"Mr. Ye wants you to leave. Leave immediately." Yuan Zhengde shouted, "Immediately."
Yuan Zhengde still held considerable prestige. Seeing his serious expression, the doctors dared not ask any more questions and quickly left, with only a few attending physicians remaining.
Ye Xingchen stepped forward, pointed his right hand into the air, and several golden needles shot out from his fingertips, turning into streaks of light that pierced into several major acupoints of the woman in labor, protecting her heart meridian.
He snatched a mysterious ring from Yin Laosan, which makes it much more convenient for him to carry golden needles and medicine with him.
Moreover, once you reach his level, you can insert a needle into the body with a thought, and he is said to be able to fight against the King of Hell for your life, which is no exaggeration.
With a single acupuncture needle, the woman's heartbeat immediately became steady, and the monitor showed that her heart rate gradually returned to normal, indicating that she had been saved from the clutches of death.
"Give this to your wife." Ye Xingchen took out another Soul-Locking Pill and handed it to Liu Xuesong.
Liu Xuesong quickly took it and hurriedly fed it to his wife.
Ye Xingchen quickly walked to the crib, reached out and checked the baby; the baby was barely breathing.
He took out the golden needles again to protect the baby's heart meridian, then took out the Soul-Locking Pill, dissolved one-third of it in water, then pried open the baby's mouth, condensed his true energy, and made the baby swallow it.
Needlework, life-saving, soul-locking, returning to emptiness...
Ye Xingchen used both hands simultaneously to perform acupuncture on the mother and child. Even though he had entered the celestial realm, the patients' conditions were critical, and the slightest carelessness could be fatal.
Fortunately, after his efforts, the lives of the mother and child were saved.
However, the mother's breathing was still weak and her heartbeat was still irregular. It could only be said that she was hanging on, but she could not be saved.
"Mr. Ye, how is it?" Yuan Zhengde asked anxiously.
"It still doesn't work. I need to think of something." Ye Xingchen frowned slightly.
"Ye Xingchen... I just saw a wisp of black mist. It must be the Soul-Locking Underworld Messenger who has taken away the souls of the mother and child," Zhang Shihao ran over to remind him.
"These two, mother and son, haven't exhausted their lifespans yet. How could the underworld officials lock them up and take them away?" Ye Xingchen's expression changed.
"There are also tasks ahead," Zhang Shih-hao said with some helplessness. "Life and death are unpredictable. Although one may have enough lifespan at times, when one is on the verge of death, one will attract the Soul-Locking Underworld Official."
"These underworld officials lock away any soul they see, without regard for the rules. Once a soul is locked away, the person... cannot be brought back."
"Wait here. No one is allowed to move until I get back." Ye Xingchen said nothing and turned to leave.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Shih-hao was slightly taken aback.
"We'll find the Underworld Official to take my life," Ye Xingchen said.
"Are you crazy..." Zhang Shihao howled, "Those are underworld officials, the legendary ghosts of death, you want people from them?"
"I, Ye Xingchen, will protect these two today. Don't even mention a mere underworld official; even if the King of Hell himself came, it wouldn't work." Ye Xingchen sneered, and with a flash, he disappeared from the scene.
"Ye Xingchen, Ye Xingchen, are you out of your mind?" Zhang Shihao slapped his thigh in panic and hurriedly chased after her.
Ye Xingchen is not skilled in the art of controlling ghosts, so unlike Zhang Shihao, he cannot open his third eye to track the traces of the underworld officials.
However, after a few leaps, he was already standing at the highest point of the hospital. He exerted his divine sense to the utmost, vigilantly looking around at his surroundings.
Suddenly, he sensed a surge of yin energy ahead, and within this yin energy, there was a faint trace of strange power.
This is a power different from that of wandering ghosts; it is the unique power of serving officials in the underworld.
Without time to think, he pointed his right hand forward into the air, and Chi Xiao suddenly flew out, slamming his sword into the floor with a loud bang.
The crimson sky emitted a faint glow, illuminating the surroundings.
A black and white transparent shadow slowly appeared in Ye Xingchen's line of sight.
This was a figure as shrouded in mist, dragging a chain formed of black energy in his hand, with two figures, one large and one small, bound to one end of the chain.
These were undoubtedly the mother and child, and a black hole had already formed in front of them. If they had been a second later, the underworld official would have dragged the mother and child into the underworld.
Once he enters the Yellow Springs Road, Ye Xingchen's current strength will be irretrievable.
After all, he doesn't belong to the same plane of existence. Unless his strength improves further, he might not have the ability to break through the void and enter the underworld.
Fortunately, they managed to stop the underworld official at the last second.
