A mouthful of blood gushed out, splattering the bedsheets in front of him red.
His hand trembled as he inserted the needle, and the last silver needle, which was about to pierce the crucial acupoint, also missed its mark.
"puff--!"
Almost at the same time that Ye Chen vomited blood, Old Master Su also coughed up a mouthful of black blood. His face, which had just shown some improvement, instantly turned ashen, and his breath became weak again.
"grandfather!"
Su Wanying let out a shrill cry, tears instantly blurring her vision and rolling down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string.
She stumbled and rushed to the old man's side. Looking at his face, which had turned ashen and lifeless again, she felt as if her heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and the pain was so intense that she could hardly breathe.
The hope that had ignited for a moment was like a candle flickering in the wind, completely extinguished by Ye Chen's mouthful of reversed blood.
Despair once again enveloped the entire room, heavier than before, making it hard to breathe.
Ye Chen clutched his chest, blood still lingering at the corner of his mouth. His eyes were filled with venom as he stared intently in the direction of Qin Xiao and Su Wanying. The eerie mosaic in his vision continued to pulsate wildly, as if silently mocking his defeat.
He couldn't understand why he had failed at the last step when he was so close.
Could it really be those two scoundrels...?
Qin Xiao stood quietly to the side, watching the chaotic scene before him, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.
His goal was simply to prevent Ye Chen from successfully showing off and to annoy this chosen one, but he never expected that Old Master Su would actually die like that.
If this old man really dies, the Su family will inevitably be thrown into chaos, which will not benefit his subsequent plans, and moreover...
Seeing Su Wanying's heartbroken and tearful appearance, Qin Xiao felt a slight touch in a corner of his heart.
That's enough, human life is at stake.
"Yi Yi, is there any way to save this old man?" Qin Xiao asked in his heart, his tone carrying an unquestionable determination.
[Host...didn't you just use [Absolute Territory]? That Prism System consumes a lot of energy...] Yun Yiyi's voice was a little aggrieved. [Besides, Ye Chen failed, so wasn't the goal achieved?]
"Stop talking nonsense, you're about to die." Qin Xiao's tone turned serious. "Refresh the page again and find someone who can save you, otherwise you'll lose all three skins."
【Waaah! No, host!】Yun Yiyi panicked instantly. The system interface lit up again, but the light was much dimmer than before, which was obviously a sign of excessive energy consumption.
[Ding! Emergency refresh in progress...]
[Refresh Results: Silver - "Pet First Aid Guide", Gold - "Electrical Appliance Repair (Master Level)", Prism - "The Finishing Touch (Limited Time)"!]
[Finishing Touch (Limited Time): Prism-level Special Skill. Upon activation, the host gains a chance to perfectly complete an event when only the final step remains unfinished. This skill effect can only be used once and lasts for ten minutes.]
Qin Xiao's eyes narrowed.
The finishing touch?
It was precisely the last step that wasn't completed.
"This is it, activate it immediately!"
[Ding! The Prism System's "Finishing Touch (Limited Time)" has been activated! Time remaining: 9 minutes and 59 seconds!]
Amidst the desperate, angry, and bewildered gazes of the Su family, and under Ye Chen's incredulous yet murderous stare, Qin Xiao calmly stepped forward.
He walked to the bedside, ignoring the bloodstains Ye Chen had splattered on the sheets, bent down, and picked up the silver needle that Ye Chen had accidentally dropped.
That silver needle that decides life and death.
"What are you doing?!" a middle-aged man from the Su family shouted sharply, his voice filled with vigilance.
Ye Chen also struggled to stop him: "Qin Xiao! How dare you do this..."
Qin Xiao ignored everyone.
His fingers held the silver needles firmly, his wrists showing no sign of trembling.
With the assistance of the [Finishing Touch] system, the acupoint, angle, and depth to which the final needle needed to be inserted were clearly presented in his mind, as if he had rehearsed it a thousand times.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Qin Xiao's eyes were focused, and his hand moved swiftly, inserting the needle.
The movements were clean and crisp, even possessing a strange beauty.
The silver needle pierced the crucial acupoint with perfect accuracy.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
The next second.
"Cough...cough cough..."
Grandpa Su, lying on his hospital bed, suddenly let out a faint but clearly audible cough.
His originally ashen complexion began to warm up at a visible speed, and a faint rosy glow appeared.
His chest heaved steadily and powerfully, and his disordered breathing gradually became even.
alright!
It's really healed!
The deathly silence in the room was shattered in an instant!
"dad!"
"grandfather!"
Several members of the Su family excitedly surrounded them, weeping with joy.
Su Wanying suddenly raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Qin Xiao. Her foxy eyes were filled with shock, ecstasy, and an indescribable, burning emotion.
She looked at the man in front of her, and he calmly withdrew his hand, as if he had only done something insignificant.
But this seemingly insignificant incident pulled her grandfather back from the brink of death!
Overwhelmed by intense emotions, Su Wanying almost instinctively threw herself into Qin Xiao's arms, her soft, warm body pressed tightly against him.
A warm, fragrant, and soft scent wafts towards you.
Before Qin Xiao could react, Su Wanying raised her beautiful face, which was even more charming and alluring despite her tear-streaked face, stood on tiptoe, and pressed her hot red lips to Qin Xiao's lips.
It carries the salty taste of tears and her unique sweet aroma.
Soft, moist, and even with a hint of eager exploration.
Qin Xiao's body stiffened slightly as he felt the delicate touch on his lips and the slippery texture that almost broke through his defenses.
He raised his hand and gently pressed down on Su Wanying's shoulder, pushing her away slightly. Looking at her watery, captivating eyes, a helpless yet slightly teasing smile curved his lips.
"Hello."
"Don't stick your tongue out!"
