Chapter 163: Bowing to Superiority

~7 min read 1,320 words

Slap... The infant showed no reaction at all.

Chen Yu gathered his Qi once more and struck down, simultaneously pressing lightly on the infant's back heart.

But the infant still did not react.

Chen Yu gave a deep shout: "Wake up now."

He abruptly gathered his Qi and struck down again; finally, the infant let out a wail, the sound ringing out clearly.

"It cried, it's fine now that it's cried."

The crowd watching from the sides had also been on edge; only when the infant cried out did they cheer aloud.

The child's grandmother hurriedly fetched a red blanket to wrap the child in, and the family of several wept with joy.

"Divine Doctor, a Divine Doctor indeed."

Everyone shouted in unison, the crowd stirred with excitement.

"I bow to your superiority..." Wang Shiyuan shook his head, cupped his fists, and said: "I admit defeat, I will sign."

"I don't need to compete, I concede directly." Li Chengshan no longer even had the interest to compete; he knew how great the gap was between himself and Chen Yu, so he asked: "Little Doctor Chen, can you really bring the dead back to life?"

"How could I be that powerful?" Chen Yu explained with a smile: "You all should actually have heard that ancient texts record that pregnant women, before they pass, enter a state called 'Silent Spirit'."

"Because the infant represents new life, and Heaven possesses the virtue of cherishing life. So even if they truly encounter some danger, they will not truly die immediately, but will instead enter this Silent Spirit state."

"But this state looks no different from death, and even using modern medical means, it would be judged as death."

"However, Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture can stimulate this state, allowing the pregnant woman to awaken from the Silent Spirit state, and I happen to have a life-saving medicine like the Century-old Blood Ginseng on hand, so it was all a coincidence," Chen Yu said.

"Regardless, your medical skills are far above ours. Little Doctor Chen, I have a granddaughter, a master's graduate from an overseas medical academy, currently in Shengjing. How about I introduce you two?" Wang Shiyuan leaned forward.

"Get lost, it's not your turn," Zhao Lao said, displeased: "Chen Yu is already married; otherwise, do you think only you have a granddaughter?"

"Sigh... what a pity," Wanglao said regretfully.

"My grandson is also studying medicine; if he had even one percent of Little Chen's skill, I would be satisfied," Li Chengshan also said.

"Thank you for the needles, Wanglao. I, I need to rest for a moment." Chen Yu smiled; he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, and then he collapsed.

"Chen Yu..." Zhao Anran and Song Mengyan both screamed in alarm.

"He's exhausted. Quick, an ambulance, send him to the hospital." The scene descended into chaos.

It was already evening by the time Ye Xinyu received the news and rushed to the hospital.

Song Mengyan and Zhao Anran had been guarding the bedside the whole time; the two did not speak to each other, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

"Husband." Ye Xinyu hurried over, and upon seeing the two women in the room, her expression changed slightly.

"Sister-in-law, you're here." The two women hurriedly stood up.

"Who are you?" Ye Xinyu asked.

"I am Song Mengyan of Tianyun Pharmaceutical. Sister-in-law, please sit," Song Mengyan hurriedly offered Ye Xinyu a seat.

"I am Zhao Anran. Brother Chen was exhausted after saving someone today," Zhao Anran said somewhat nervously.

Although the relationship between Chen Yu and the two of them was slightly closer than that of ordinary friends, it was not that intimate; however, now that both saw the "official wife," they both felt a sense of unease.

"I understand, thank you both." Ye Xinyu took a deep breath, calming her emotions: "My husband has been well taken care of thanks to you. If there is nothing else, please leave."

The two women were slightly stunned; Ye Xinyu's tone was somewhat blunt, clearly suggesting she had other thoughts, so the two left silently.

It took a full eight hours before Chen Yu suddenly woke up from the bed with a start.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Ye Xinyu's anxious face.

"Wife, why are you here?" Chen Yu was startled and hurriedly sat up.

As his hand moved, he felt a sharp pain; there was an IV line inserted in his hand. He reached out and pulled the IV line out—he was fine, why bother with this trash?

"Husband, what are you doing? This is nutrient solution; the doctor said you were exhausted," Ye Xinyu was startled and hurriedly stopped Chen Yu.

"I'm fine, I've already recovered," Chen Yu smiled.

He had barely managed to trigger the Talisman Blessing Technique, which caused the exhaustion. It seems that if the Profound Mysterious Saintly Pure Scripture doesn't reach the first level, he cannot force the use of these high-level techniques, otherwise the consequences are quite serious.

"Do you know how worried I was about you?" Ye Xinyu's eyes turned red: "You are the pillar of this family now, the father of our child. If something happened to you, what would I do?"

"I'm sorry for making you worry. Don't worry, this kind of situation won't happen again in the future." Chen Yu held her, stroking her long, dark hair: "Is the baby okay? Has she kicked you?"

"She's doing fine." Ye Xinyu paused and said softly: "Just now, those two girls were quite pretty. When I arrived, they were guarding you here; looking at them, they seemed even more anxious than I was."

"Ah, who?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned.

"One is Song Mengyan, the other is Zhao Anran. What is your relationship... with them?" Ye Xinyu asked after hesitating for a moment. Although she didn't say much, Chen Yu still felt the heavy scent of jealousy.

"We are just friends, business partners. You know Song Mengyan's Tianyun Pharmaceutical, right? I have shares in it. Also, Zhao Anran is from the recently popular Xinglinju. Both are business relationships, and I have shares in both." Chen Yu snuck a glance at Ye Xinyu.

Seeing her expression wasn't too good, he hurriedly smiled: "Wife, are you overthinking it? They are just friends to me."

"Perhaps they are just friends to you, but they might not feel the same way about you," Ye Xinyu looked up at Chen Yu.

"This, how could that be? I'm already married and didn't hide it from them. Wife, you have to believe me," Chen Yu stammered.

"I hope it's as you say. Husband, you are different now. Once a man makes a name for himself, all sorts of women will appear around him. I'm afraid..." Ye Xinyu stopped there and did not continue.

"Wife, don't overthink it. It's really not like what you're imagining with them." Chen Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry; Ye Xinyu was jealous.

"Alright, I hope I'm just overthinking it." Ye Xinyu smiled: "You should rest a while longer."

"No, I'm going home right away." Chen Yu smiled; his Primordial Qi had recovered, so there was no need to stay in the hospital. He would just be more careful in the future.

The night was already deep, and Chen Yu's villa was quite far from the hospital; there was a rather remote stretch of road on the way home.

Suddenly, Chen Yu's car made a loud boom and stopped on the road, refusing to move. No matter how much he revved the engine, the car wouldn't budge.

Chen Yu's expression changed slightly. He stepped out of the car and saw four black and white shadows clinging to the wheels, holding them tightly so that his car could not move at all.

These four shadows were Spirit Bodies, clearly the work of someone from the Esoteric Sect. Chen Yu knew someone had started making trouble.
