After dawn, the nurse pushed Yu Huang for another full-body checkup. After confirming that all the data was perfect and that she could undergo surgery normally, she pushed Yu Huang into the operating theater.

Yu Huang’s identity was special. In order to prevent anyone from hurting Yu Huang during the surgery, Sheng Lingfeng brought the Third Elder and Anna into the operating theater.

If someone inside had ulterior motives, the Third Elder would definitely be able to subdue them immediately.

Yu Huang was a Purifying Spirit Master. When the anesthetic was injected into her body, it would automatically be eliminated as a pathogen. Therefore, the effect of the anesthetic was minimal on Yu Huang.

However, the anesthesiologist still injected Yu Huang with a suitable amount of anesthesia. After waiting for a moment, he saw that Yu Huang’s eyes were still open and she didn’t show any signs of falling asleep. The anesthesiologist frowned and asked, “Master Yu, how do you feel? Do you feel sleepy?”

Yu Huang shook her head. “No.”

The expressions of the anesthesiologist and the chief surgeon became serious at the same time.

The anesthesiologist said to the chief surgeon in a low voice, “Director Yu, the anesthesia indeed has no effect on Master Yu’s body. We can only use Plan B.”

Director Yu looked at Yu Huang while not knowing what to say.

Yu Huang was even calmer than Director Yu. She said to Director Yu, “Director Yu, if you have anything to say, just say it.”

Director Yu nodded and said, “Master Yu, anesthesia can’t numb you. If you want the surgery to continue, you can only do anesthesia-free surgery. But…” The doctor frowned and said,” I’ve been a doctor for decades, but I’ve never done a heart surgery without anesthesia. ”

It wasn’t that the doctor’s skills weren’t good, but that the patients wouldn’t cooperate with the surgery when their bodies were in pain.

In her previous life, Yu Huang didn’t know pain or hunger. Perhaps it was to let her feel pain and hunger, but in this life, she had become especially gluttonous and especially… afraid of pain.

Yu Huang was very afraid of pain, but she was also very tolerant.

But this was the Heart Cutting Technique!

No matter how tolerant one was, they couldn’t bear it.

Yu Huang closed her eyes and said without hesitation, “Bring handcuffs!”

When he heard this, the chief surgeon’s expression instantly became respectful. If he wanted to take away flesh from Yu Huang’s heart, it wasn’t something that could be done with simple minimally invasive surgery. The chief surgeon had to cut open Yu Huang’s sternum, open her chest, and then cut off a small piece of her heart.

Those surgical tools were on the plate, and Yu Huang saw them too.

She knew how dangerous and terrifying this surgery was, but she still insisted on completing it without hesitation. Yu Huang’s mentality impressed Director Yu.

“Alright, bring handcuffs.”

Anna guessed what Yu Huang was going to do. Her beautiful face turned pale as she anxiously shouted at Yu Huang, “Yu Huang, if there’s no anesthesia, you won’t be able to hold on at all! Don’t be like this. Let’s think of another way.”

Yu Huang shook her head and said, “I’m fine. I can hold on.”

After cultivating the Beast Taming Method and refining the heart blood, every time she refined a drop of heart blood, Yu Huang would have to suffer the pain of her meridians being severed and her bones recombining. After experiencing that twice, Yu Huang was confident that she could withstand this surgery.

In the end, under Yu Huang’s request, her wrists and ankles were handcuffed, and her neck and waist were tied with a leather chain. This was to prevent Yu Huang from convulsing from the pain during the surgery and disturbing the chief surgeon.

“Master Yu, I’m going to start.” After Director Yu finished speaking, she picked up the electric knife and cut open the skin on Yu Huang’s chest.

Anna was timid. When she saw this, her scalp went numb from fear. She couldn’t help but quietly hold the Third Elder’s hand.

The Third Elder was also shocked.

She old, so she was easily frightened. She didn’t dare to watch the surgery directly, so she took off her reading glasses. When she took off her reading glasses, the entire world became blurry. No matter what bloody scene she saw, it seemed to be automatically pixelated.

Yu Huang was holding two towels in her hand and had a wet towel stuffed into her mouth. She was in so much pain that her entire body was covered in sweat. She closed her eyes and tried her best to think of some beautiful things.

Good things.

What beautiful things were there?

Of course, it would be during the new year. In the Doomsday Era on Earth, every time it was the new year, her adoptive father would stay at home instead of going to the laboratory to work. Her adoptive mother wouldn’t have to bring mercenaries out to search for supplies. Their family of three would stay at home and make dumplings together.

She remembered that she had once eaten a coin in a dumpling. Her adoptive mother had patted her hair with a smile and said to her, “You’ve eaten a coin, so you will be happy forever.”

They said that she would be happy forever.

However, she raised the gun in her hand and personally shot her mother between the eyes. In the end, she also killed her father. From then on, she lived in regret and guilt day and night.

When she arrived at the Holy Spirit Continent, she met Yu Donghai.

That poor man with a broken leg treated her very well. He couldn’t bear to eat good food himself, yet he would take out a stack of crumpled change to buy her a bag of 50 yuan per 500 grams of cherries. He said to her, “When you become stronger, we will kill our way back to the Yin Clan!”

“When we return to the Yin Clan, you’ll bring me to live a good life!”

She became stronger as she wished and brought him back to the Yin Clan.

However, before he could live a good life, he led the 13,000 Yin clansmen to sacrifice themselves.

Come to think of it, she didn’t seem to be very lucky in either life.

Those who loved her and treated her well died because of her.

Even Sheng Xiao, who had broken through in order to save her, was gravely wounded.

At the thought of this, two drops of tears suddenly fell from the corners of Yu Huang’s eyes. The tears slid down her cheeks and into her ears. Anna noticed that Yu Huang was crying. Her heart ached as she knelt beside the operating table and gently wiped away Yu Huang’s tears with a handkerchief.

She saw that the veins on Yu Huang’s forehead were bulging from the pain, so she used her soft little hand to soothe Yu Huang.

Sensing that someone was touching her, Yu Huang struggled to open her eyes and saw Anna’s face.

She stared at Anna and suddenly thought of Grade 12 Class 7.

There were still wonderful things that happened around her.

At the very least, her successful admission to the Divine Realm Academy brought glory to Yong Hui High School and made the homeroom teacher, Li Shi, proud.

Because of her, Anna didn’t become a demon under the Broken Cliff.

Slowly, Yu Huang thought of more wonderful details that could warm one’s heart. The pain didn’t seem to be that obvious anymore.

This surgery lasted for a long time.

Yu Huang was in so much pain that her consciousness dissipated a few times. She finally heard Director Yu say, “It’s done.”

Yu Huang heaved a sigh of relief.

Sheng Xiao woke up late one night.

When he woke up, he realized that his bones were emitting an aura as warm as a winter furnace.

However, that was something he had never felt before. Could it be that Beast Tamers who had broken through to the Grand Master realm had such a change in physique?

Besides, he was courting death by forcefully breaking through his cultivation level. Why did he not feel any discomfort after waking up? Instead, he felt that his spiritual power was very abundant?

Sheng Xiao sat up with his hands on the edge of the bed. He got off the bed barefoot and realized that he was in a hospital.

Hospital?

Shouldn’t he wake up in the treatment center?

Why was he in the hospital?

Sheng Xiao stayed in a single VIP room. He put on his slippers and walked past the small living room outside the bedroom. He opened the ward door and walked out to the nurse’s desk.

The nurse was dozing off. She didn’t know that Sheng Xiao was here.

Knock, knock.

Sheng Xiao tapped his fingers on the table.

The nurse immediately woke up. She looked up and saw a tall and handsome man standing in front of her. She immediately recognized him. “Master Sheng… Oh, no, Grand Master Sheng!” The nurse quickly stood up and asked in surprise and concern, “Grand Master Sheng, you’re awake? Do you need any help? Tell me and I’ll help you.”

The military hospital usually only served soldiers and their families. They rarely received Beast Tamers with noble status, let alone a Beast Tamer like Sheng Xiao.

When ordinary civilians saw Sheng Xiao, it was as if they had seen their idol.

Before this, the nurse had only seen Sheng Xiao’s blessing cards.

Sheng Xiao asked her, “Why am I in the hospital?”

The nurse quickly told Sheng Xiao all the details she knew.

When Sheng Xiao found out that the reason why he could wake up so quickly and his body was safe and sound was because Yu Huang had given him flesh from her heart, his heart ached.

Sheng Xiao finally understood why his bones felt warm. It was because the Divine Feather Phoenix was of the fire attribute. After he consumed flesh from Yu Huang’s heart, his bones naturally had some fire attribute.

Sheng Xiao placed his hands on the nurse’s desk and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath and pretended to be calm. “Where is she?”

The nurse was stunned for a moment before she realized that Sheng Xiao was asking about Yu Huang’s ward number. She quickly said, “She’s in the ICU upstairs.”

“Okay.”

Sheng Xiao saw that the elevator was still on the first floor. He was too lazy to wait, so he went up the stairs.

Just as he reached the stairs upstairs, he met Sheng Lingfeng, who was smoking on the platform.

Seeing that Sheng Xiao was awake, Sheng Lingfeng looked at him carefully. After confirming that Sheng Xiao was fine, he said, “She’s in room 05. You can see her when her condition stabilizes.”

Although Sheng Xiao was anxious and wanted to see Yu Huang as soon as possible, he could only stop when he heard Sheng Lingfeng’s words. Sheng Xiao reached out and snatched the cigarette from Sheng Lingfeng’s mouth. He took a deep breath and his racing heart calmed down.

Sheng Lingfeng lit another cigarette and thought of Yu Huang’s experience during the surgery. He suddenly said, “She suffered a lot.”

Sheng Xiao tilted his head and looked at his father. He asked in a hoarse voice, “Did something happen during the surgery?”

Sheng Lingfeng shook his head and said, “The surgery went very smoothly.”

“Then what happened?”

Sheng Lingfeng was silent for a moment before saying softly, “The anesthetic is useless against a Purifying Spirit Master’s body.”

Sheng Xiao widened his eyes. “So…” It was as if a hand was grabbing Sheng Xiao’s throat tightly, preventing him from speaking.

Therefore, during the surgery, Yu Huang was awake the entire time. When the electric knife cut through her flesh and cut through her sternum and heart, she was awake the entire time!

He didn’t even have the strength to smoke.

Sheng Xiao leaned against the wall and rested for a while. Then, he said hoarsely, “I understand.”

Yu Huang stayed in the ICU ward for two days before she was allowed to be transferred to an ordinary ward.

Sheng Xiao was standing at the door of the ward with an eye-catching bouquet of red roses. The red roses were wrapped in black paper. When the black and red roses were paired together, they looked extremely beautiful.

Yu Huang was lying on the bed when the nurse pushed her out of the ICU. She saw Sheng Xiao in a suit and holding flowers at the door of the ward. She felt as if she had been revived.

Sheng Xiao bent down and placed the roses beside Yu Huang’s head. Then, he took the shopping bag from Anna and took out a purple scarf. He wrapped Yu Huang’s bald head with the scarf carefully.

After doing all of this, he lowered his head and kissed Yu Huang’s forehead.

From beginning to end, he didn’t thank Yu Huang.

Just like how he would risk everything to break through his cultivation level to save Yu Huang, he could also understand how Yu Huang felt when she endured the pain and had her heart cut to save him.

Their love for each other was equally deep.

Sheng Xiao looked at Yu Huang’s weak and pale face affectionately. He said to her, “I bought you a hundred beautiful silk scarves. You can change them.”

Yu Huang blinked and reached out to touch the smooth and soft scarf on her head. She revealed a playful posture and pretended to be shy as she asked, “Then am I still beautiful?”

“You’re beautiful.”

Yu Huang immediately smiled.

She believed that Sheng Xiao wasn’t lying. Sheng Xiao was already obsessed with her when she was disfigured, let alone now.

Even without her hair, she was still the most beautiful bald woman in the world.

Yu Huang suddenly curled her finger at Sheng Xiao.

Sheng Xiao turned around and looked at Anna and the old dean. Anna understood and quickly brought the old dean and the others aside.

They couldn’t eavesdrop on the couple’s conversation.

Sheng Xiao moved his ear to Yu Huang’s side and heard her say, “We can play role-playing now. I’ll be a nun and you’ll be a priest.”

Sheng Xiao was stunned. Then, he whispered with reddened ears, “Then, I have to customize a Daoist robe.”
