An Ge didn't know what others thought. At this moment, she concentrated her mental energy, mobilized the jade bead in her consciousness, and continuously transmitted divine power to the boy.
A continuous stream of life force flowed from her fingertips. After an unknown amount of time, An Ge had almost exhausted her divine power, but the boy remained motionless.
It just didn't work. What was I even thinking? An Ge laughed at her own absurd idea.
Just then, someone exclaimed, "I... I think I just saw the child's finger move."
"How is that possible? This child is already... Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Just as people were discussing it, the child's mother suddenly saw her child's finger move again. "It moved! It moved! My son has come back to life!"
At this point, the boy's movements became increasingly exaggerated, and almost everyone saw them.
Suddenly, the crowd that had been discussing fell silent, seemingly unable to believe what they were seeing.
Liu Tingxue's expression was serious. "Let me see."
After examining the child, she said with a complicated expression, "The child is fine. Dr. Yang, you can just prescribe some medicine for him."
"Whoa!" As soon as Liu Tingxue finished speaking, the crowd erupted in cheers. Amid the joy and cries of the boy's family who had survived the ordeal, An Ge felt a wave of dizziness.
"Little Ge'er!" The last thing An Ge heard was Hu Jiu's frightened exclamation.
After an unknown amount of time, An Ge opened her eyes again, and what she saw was a pink curtain.
The moment An Ge looked up, Hu Jiu noticed, "You're finally awake! You scared me to death. Here, have some water."
An Ge felt completely weak and asked in a hoarse voice, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"It's been a whole day and night." Hu Jiu's voice was filled with lingering fear. "You're not allowed to do this again."
This was the first time An Ge had seen Hu Jiu so angry, and she said somewhat ingratiatingly, "I promise I won't be so reckless next time. This was an accident, and I just wanted to test my divine power. Besides, I'm actually fine, just a little exhausted."
Hu Jiu sighed, "Sometimes I really don't know what to do with you. If I could, I'd love to keep you in my pocket."
"Want to keep it as a figurine?" An Ge joked.
"Oh, you can still joke around. Looks like you're really alright." Liu Tingxue's sarcastic voice came over. "An Xiaoge, you've really got guts. You actually dared to snatch someone from the jaws of death. Now the whole Xianyuan Town is in an uproar, and the clinic is still packed with people."
At this point, Liu Tingxue became even more furious.
She concealed her identity as a member of the Xianyuan Inn to open her clinic, and just when things were finally getting on track, An Ge shattered her plans. Now everyone knows that the person who saved the life was from the Xianyuan Inn, and that her clinic is also connected to the Xianyuan Inn.
After all, the only person with the ability to bring the dead back to life is that immortal at the Immortal Inn.
An Ge felt a little guilty. "I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I couldn't help myself when I saw how pitiful the child was."
"Ha! Do you know how terrifying you looked back then? If Hu Jiu hadn't kept channeling spiritual energy into you, you don't know when you would have woken up!" Liu Tingxue was both scared and angry, but she couldn't do anything to An Ge.
It was precisely because of this that she became much less prejudiced against Hu Jiu. Putting aside everything else, his feelings for An Xiaoge were genuine.
An Ge held Hu Jiu's hand with some emotion, "Sister Tingxue, is Hu Jiu alright?"
"I won't die," Liu Tingxue said irritably.
Hu Jiu gripped An Ge's hand in return, "It's just a loss of spiritual energy; you'll recover in no time. But you, go back and write me a 10,000-word self-criticism."
An Ge felt like she was hallucinating. "What...what did you say?"
"Don't play dumb with me. A 10,000-word self-criticism is required, not a single word can be missing. It must be read aloud at the regular meeting."
"Oh my god, Hu Jiu, who did you learn this from? Where is my innocent and pure Hu Jiu who cares about me?" An Ge felt hopeless. In her previous life, she was a pure science student. Apart from writing lab reports, writing an 800-word essay would drive her crazy.
Ten thousand words would kill her.
An Ge felt that she would rather faint than write a 10,000-word self-criticism.
Seeing Hu Jiu's serious expression, she knew that it was no use trying to act cute or charming this time, so she could only accept it dejectedly.
Hu Jiu looked at An Ge with heartache, putting aside any thoughts of softening his heart. This time, he was determined to teach An Ge a lesson; making her write a self-criticism was a well-thought-out decision.
He had always known An Ge's weaknesses and had turned a blind eye to her behavior in the past, but this time he was truly terrified.
For some reason, even though the two were arguing, Liu Tingxue clearly felt like she was being fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection) from their argument. She rolled her eyes inelegantly, "An Xiaoge, what method did you use to save that person?"
If she hadn't personally examined him, everyone would have thought he was still breathing.
An Ge thought for a moment and then recounted how she obtained divine power from the secret realm.
Upon hearing this, Liu Tingxue gasped. Such divine power was simply too incredible! With abilities like this, wouldn't An Xiaoge be able to wreak havoc on the Underworld in the future?
"I've carefully considered it, and it's not as powerful as you all think. The reason it was successful this time is twofold: firstly, the child had only recently passed away, so his soul probably hadn't gone far yet; secondly, it's also related to the fact that he was an ordinary person."
I could sense that if the other party was a cultivator, unless my strength far surpassed theirs, I simply couldn't bring them back to life.
What she didn't say was that she only had a little bit of divine power right now, and this ability would only truly be considered heaven-defying when she truly became a god.
"That's terrifying too," Liu Tingxue sighed. She prided herself on being able to snatch people away from the King of Hell, but when she actually arrived in the underworld, she was powerless.
At that moment, she truly realized how terrifying the Chosen Ones were.
"What do we do now? Everyone knows that Immortal An of our Immortal Inn can bring the dead back to life. Aren't you afraid that people will cause you trouble?"
"Everyone witnessed me fainting back then, so this ability shouldn't be used lightly. Besides, since everyone thinks I'm a celestial being, what's wrong with me not helping?"
An Ge had no intention of controlling people's life and death. Birth, aging, sickness and death were just normal occurrences. Even if she felt sorry for the other person, she could not easily disrupt the order.
Moreover, she felt that this ability also had limitations. If she used it too much, the underworld might cause her trouble.
"You know what you're doing. My clinic can't be open for a while, so I might as well go back to the inn and rest. By the way, don't you have the power of a god of wealth? I'm planning to open a clinic in a different location, so could you cast a spell on me then?"
Before An Ge could speak, Hu Jiu said, "No, you are not allowed to use divine power anymore. This should also be added to your self-criticism."
"Stingy!" If it were before, Liu Tingxue would definitely have argued with Hu Jiu. But she knew that Hu Jiu was doing it for An Ge's good, so even though she was unconvinced, she didn't refute him.
