Chapter 36: Bleeding of the Seven Orifices

~7 min read 1,370 words

"Am I talking nonsense?"

Jiang Feng snorted a laugh: "With a brain like yours, it's doubtful you'd be able to see it!"

"You dare call me brainless!"

Nie Ying's face turned red with anger, "I think you're deliberately sowing discord! Maybe you're in league with the Black Gold Society, trying to take advantage of the miss!"

"Nie Ying! Stop!"

Hua Jing rushed over, grabbed Nie Ying's arm: "Now's not the time to argue! Qian Xue is still lying down! Trust me, Doctor Jiang wouldn't speak carelessly."

Nie Ying didn't charge forward any more, but her gaze at Jiang Feng remained full of hostility.

"Hua Lao! This kid's background is unknown, and he immediately says the miss is poisoned—who knows what his intentions are? The famous doctors who came before never mentioned poisoning!"

Hua Jing sighed, turned his head toward Jiang Feng.

"Jiang Feng, don't argue with Nie Ying; she's also worried about Qian Xue. However, I've taken Qian Xue's pulse several times before; the pulse pattern is weak, but shows no sign of poisoning. You... would you take another close look?"

Jiang Feng shook his head: "Hua Lao, there's no need to look again. Since you don't believe, I'll let you see with your own eyes."

"Oh? You can make that poison crawl out by itself?"

Nie Ying sneered, crossing her arms: "I think you're just trying to put on a show and slip through! If you have the skill, make the miss wake up right now!"

"Nie Ying!"

Hua Jing scolded her again, then turned to Jiang Feng with an apologetic smile.

"Jiang Feng, don't take it to heart; Nie Ying is just acting rashly. If you have a way, give it a try—whether it works or not, we thank you."

He knows Jiang Feng's medical skill is formidable.

Now that Qian Xue has been unconscious for so long, even a dead horse must be treated as a living horse.

Nie Ying still wanted to retort, but after Hua Jing gave her a glare, she clenched her teeth and swallowed her words.

Still, she said irritably: "Fine! I'll see what tricks you can pull! If you dare harm the miss, I won't be done with you!"

Jiang Feng ignored her, took a small cloth pouch from the medicine box.

Inside were a dozen silver needles, shimmering with a cold light under the lamp.

He pinched a silver needle, twisted his fingertips lightly, then suddenly raised his hand and flicked toward Nie Qianxue's direction!

"Swish!"

The silver needle flew straight toward Nie Qianxue's forehead, landing steadily on the Yin Tang point between her eyebrows!

Hua Jing stared, eyes wide: "This... is... a Spiritual Energy Qi-Control Needle? I've only seen it in ancient texts; I never thought anyone actually used it! Jiang Feng, are you... an Immortal descended to the mortal world?"

Nie Ying was also stunned by the move, mouth agape, unable to speak; the hostility and sarcasm vanished, leaving only shock.

This kid actually has some talent?

Jiang Feng ignored their reactions, pinched several more silver needles, and with a flick of his fingertips, the needles flew out one after another.

After finishing the needling, Jiang Feng withdrew his hand, leaned on the chair, and said evenly: "Just wait; in a little while there will be a reaction."

Time passed minute by minute, and the room was utterly quiet.

Hua Jing crouched at the bedside, eyes unblinking as he stared at Nie Qianxue's face, not daring to even breathe.

Nie Ying also leaned in, her face full of tension and anticipation.

But after a full five minutes, Nie Qianxue still showed no movement; her complexion remained pale, and even her eyelids didn't flutter.

"Hmph, I thought it was powerful, but it's just a show! The silver needles look pretty, but what's the use? The miss still hasn't reacted? I think you're just a liar!"

Hua Jing also grew a bit anxious.

"Jiang Feng, why is there no reaction? Is something wrong?"

Jiang Feng said nothing, only tapped his fingers lightly on the chair armrest, his gaze showing no hint of panic.

Just as Nie Ying was about to launch another sarcastic remark.

Suddenly, a strand of black liquid seeped from Nie Qianxue's nose.

"Huh? What is that?"

Hua Jing's sharp eyes immediately noticed the anomaly.

Nie Ying also leaned over to look, her complexion changing instantly.

Before she could react, black blood began to flow from Nie Qianxue's mouth corner.

Then, black liquid also seeped from her eyes and ears, looking especially terrifying!

"Ah!"

Nie Ying screamed in fright, stepped back two paces, nearly falling, her voice tinged with sobbing.

"Miss! Miss, what's wrong? Jiang Feng! Did you do this? Did you poison the miss?"

She lunged to grab Jiang Feng's clothing, but Hua Jing quickly restrained her.

"Nie Ying! Don't act rashly! Jiang Feng isn't that kind of person! Look at this black blood; it might be detoxification!"

Nie Ying struggled, tears streaming down.

"Detoxification? How can detox flow from the Seven Orifices? This is clearly a death sentence! Hua Lao, make him stop quickly! If this continues, the miss won't be saved!"

Jiang Feng's tone remained even, yet carried a reassuring strength.

"Stop arguing; this is detoxification. The poison is hidden in her Meridians; I use silver needles to force the poison out, expelling it through the Seven Orifices. Only this way can she have a chance to awaken. Otherwise, she'll never wake."

He walked to the bedside and picked up a clean cotton swab.

He gently wiped the black blood from Nie Qianxue's mouth corner, held it to his nose to smell, and frowned: "This poison is called Hangusǎn, colorless and odorless; if it's a few days later, even an Immortal couldn't save her."

"Hangusǎn?"

Hua Jing's complexion changed.

"I've seen it in ancient texts! This poison has been lost for ages; who could be so cruel?"

Nie Ying was also stunned, her voice softened as she looked at the black blood.

"Will… will that miss be okay? How long will this black blood keep flowing?"

"Don't worry, she won't die."

Jiang Feng throws the cotton swab into the trash can.

"When the black blood stops flowing, her Breath will become a bit smoother; once the Poison is mostly expelled, I'll prepare some medicine for her, treat her for a few days, and she'll be able to wake up."

He turns his head toward Nie Ying, his eyes bearing a hint of roguish Laughter.

"Do you still think I'm lying? Do you still think I'm in league with the Black Gold Society?"

Nie Ying's cheeks flushed instantly; she lowered her head shyly, her voice as thin as a mosquito.

"Y‑yes… I'm sorry, Doctor Jiang, I wrongly blamed you earlier; don't take it to heart."

Hua Jing let out a sigh of relief, patting Jiang Feng's Shoulders.

"Jiang Feng, we can't thank you enough! If Qian Xue can wake up, you will be our great benefactor!"

Jiang Feng smiled faintly, said nothing, and just kept watching Nie Qianxue's condition.

After about ten minutes, the black blood flowing from Nie Qianxue's Seven Orifices gradually lessened, its color lightening from jet black to dark red.

Breath also became smoother than before, the rise and fall of the chest noticeably clearer; although her complexion remained pale, it was no longer that bluish‑gray hue.

"Look! Qian Xue is really much better!"

Hua Jing, excitedly pointing at Nie Qianxue, his voice trembling slightly.

Nie Ying also came over, looking at Nie Qianxue; her eyes were red, yet the corners of her Mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

"Really! Much better than just now! Doctor Jiang, thank you…"

Jiang Feng nodded in satisfaction.

"The Poison is mostly expelled; in a moment I'll remove the silver needle, then prepare another dose of medicine for her, decoct it daily and feed it to her; after three or four days, she should be able to wake up."

At that moment, a sudden rush of Footsteps came from the doorway of the room.

A few bodyguards from Outside, who had just been blocked, rushed in in a panic, saying anxiously.

"Sister Ying! It's bad! Downstairs… Downstairs, Suddenly a lot of Black Gold Society people have arrived!"
