"This..."
Seeing Zhao Shihua wake up, the most shocked was the red-clothed girl.
She had just checked, and Zhao Shihua's brain and internal organs were all drained of energy. In this condition, even her master, the Medical Immortal Zhang Xuanling, would be absolutely unable to save her.
But now, Zhao Shihua was not only awake, but also seemed full of vigor, energy, and vitality.
"This... is this the power of the Taiyi Divine Needles?"
The red-clothed girl stared intently at Zhao Shihua, her face filled with astonishment.
Legend had it that the Taiyi Divine Needles contained magical power, capable of reaching the realm of an immortal wielding needles, bringing the dead back to life.
She had never believed the Taiyi Divine Needles to be so powerful until today, when she witnessed it firsthand.
Gu Qinghan and Wang Yuyan's eyes widened, too, unable to believe that Shen Lang had actually brought Zhao Shihua, who had been on the brink of death and practically declared dead, back to life.
"Stinky little brother, always surprising people."
"Country bumpkin, so outstanding, yet doesn't believe his fiancée is as beautiful as a celestial being right beside him, and flirts around everywhere. Truly hateful."
Amidst their shock, Gu Qinghan and Wang Yuyan each murmured a sentence.
"Whoosh—"
While the two women were lost in their thoughts, Shen Lang withdrew the Taiyi Divine Needles from Zhao Shihua's head and put them back into his needle pouch.
"I... what happened to me just now?"
As Shen Lang withdrew the golden needles, Zhao Shihua recovered completely and asked Zhao Jianguo, his wife, and Zhao Min.
However, Zhao Jianguo, his wife, and Zhao Min had been struck by Shen Lang. Not only had they lost all their strength, but they couldn't even speak.
Looking at the awakened Zhao Shihua, Zhao Jianguo, his wife, and Zhao Min's faces showed shock and joy, but they were unable to express it.
"Brother Shen, what did you do to them?"
Seeing Zhao Jianguo, his wife, and Zhao Min in pain, the red-clothed girl asked in surprise.
"It's nothing, I just sealed the power in their limbs and extremities and acupoints of silence."
Shen Lang looked at the red-clothed girl and smiled, "Your medical skills are not bad; you should know how to help them out of it."
"Mm, I know."
Upon hearing this, the red-clothed girl took out a silver needle from the pouch on her belt, walked towards Zhao Jianguo, his wife, and Zhao Min, and pricked the Tianfu acupoint of each of them.
"Ah—"
After being pricked, Zhao Jianguo, his wife, and Zhao Min first felt a dull ache throughout their bodies, and then found that not only had their strength returned, but they could also speak.
"Shihua—"
"Sister—"
The three rushed forward and shouted joyfully at Zhao Shihua.
"What?"
"I almost died just now?"
Two minutes later, after hearing about what had happened from her parents and sister, Zhao Shihua exclaimed in shock.
"Yes, sister. Fortunately, Mr. Shen was here. Otherwise, you might not be alive now."
Zhao Min looked at Shen Lang, her face filled with guilt, and said, "Mr. Shen, I'm sorry. We misunderstood you before."
"You're a streetwalker, aren't you?"
Before Shen Lang could reply to Zhao Min's words, Wang Yuyan stepped forward and said coldly.
"What did you say?"
Zhao Min's face instantly darkened upon hearing Wang Yuyan's words, and she said indignantly.
Wang Yuyan said coldly, "Looking at your dress and demeanor, so flirtatious, what's wrong with calling you a streetwalker?"
"How dare you slander me?"
Zhao Min came from a scholarly family and was pure and innocent. The term "streetwalker" that Wang Yuyan used was something people like Zhao Min despised.
How could Zhao Min not be angry upon hearing Wang Yuyan call her such a vile person?
"Aren't you?"
Seeing Zhao Min's angry face, Wang Yuyan sneered and said.
"Of course, I'm not."
Zhao Min glared at Wang Yuyan and said.
"You little brat, how dare you slander and smear my daughter?"
Zhao Jianguo and his wife were also furious upon hearing this, and they shouted at Wang Yuyan.
"Slander?"
"Smear?"
Wang Yuyan heard this and said, "I'm speaking the truth. Last week, I was passing by Red Light Alley and saw her soliciting customers by the roadside. Oh my, that seductive and flirtatious demeanor is still vivid in my memory."
"You..."
Upon hearing Wang Yuyan's words, Zhao Jianguo, his wife, and Zhao Min were all so angry they almost exploded.
"This is slander, you little brat! Do you have any evidence? Show it to me!"
Zhao Jianguo and his wife roared, "If you don't have evidence, we will never let you off today."
"Yes, no evidence, it's not over today."
Zhao Min had never been so slandered before. Her eyes were blazing with anger as she shouted.
"No way, no way, since when does slandering and smearing others require evidence?"
Seeing the reaction of the Zhao family, Wang Yuyan said with disdain, "When your whole family was slandering and smearing my Shen Ge just now, did you have any evidence?"
"Slandering and smearing others doesn't require evidence; it's all based on one's mood. When you are slandered and smeared by others, you demand evidence. What double standards!"
Wang Yuyan put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "I know my Shen Ge is magnanimous and won't do anything to you in the end, but I just can't stand it. Why should he be slandered and smeared by you?"
"Your slandering and smearing of him are like nails hammered into his heart. What, even if you apologize and pull out the nails, will all the wounds disappear?"
Wang Yuyan pointed at the Zhao family of three and said, "Since your family disgusted my Shen Ge, I will disgust you back."
Saying this, Wang Yuyan looked at Shen Lang, her dark and lustrous eyes blinked, and she smiled enchantingly, "My Shen Ge, are you feeling a little better now?"
"What do you want for dinner? I'll cook for you."
To Wang Yuyan's question, Shen Lang neither said yes nor no, but answered a question with a question.
However, anyone could see that he did not object to what Wang Yuyan was doing.
"This stinky little brother is still a bit vengeful. I like it."
Seeing Shen Lang's reaction, Gu Qinghan smiled brightly.
"Shen Lang, I never expected you to be this kind of person. You've disappointed me so much."
Seeing that Shen Lang did not blame Wang Yuyan at all, Zhao Min was first shocked, then furious. "You're a man, is your magnanimity this small? Can't you tolerate even a little misunderstanding from others?"
"Shen Lang, you are such a narrow-minded man. With your kind of ambition and magnanimity, you'll never amount to anything. You'll never succeed in your life."
"I originally wanted to thank you for saving my sister, but now it seems there's no need to. Because you let this girl slander me like this, I can report her to the police and have her sentenced to half a year or a year. Now, I'm being magnanimous and letting her go, but we are even."
Saying this, Zhao Min looked at her parents and sister and said, "Let's go."
"Hmph—"
Hearing Zhao Min's words, Zhao Jianguo, his wife, and Zhao Shihua looked at Shen Lang, snorted in displeasure, and then the family left without looking back.
"Damn it, Shen Ge, they snorted at you."
Seeing this, Wang Yuyan was furious, rolled up her sleeves, and rushed forward.
