"Do you need my help?" the man asked hurriedly.
"Yes, speak some encouraging words to her," Li Se nodded, then looked at Fang Xiuxiu. "Xiuxiu, go buy some umbrellas."
"Okay!" Fang Xiuxiu nodded and immediately went to buy umbrellas.
She bought over a dozen umbrellas, using them to shield the pregnant woman. Li Se then began to assist with the delivery.
"I'll do it!" Liu Dawei, knowing the pregnant woman had been saved, wanted to assist with the delivery. After all, if the delivery was successful, all the credit would be his.
"No need!" the man retorted, stopping Liu Dawei. "Having this doctor deliver my wife is enough."
Liu Dawei said anxiously, "I'm an authority in obstetrics; I'm the most suitable to deliver."
"You couldn't save two, and only had a sixty percent chance of saving one. I don't trust you!" Although the man knew Liu Dawei was an authority in this field, Li Se had saved his wife this time, so he trusted Li Se more.
Liu Dawei was somewhat exasperated but said nothing further.
"Take a deep breath, push hard..." Li Se guided the pregnant woman.
"Ah..." The pregnant woman tried to push, but her strength seemed insufficient, mainly due to the earlier convulsions.
"Under these circumstances, the baby might not make it out," Liu Dawei said with schadenfreude. He had assisted in many deliveries and knew from this situation that it would be difficult for the pregnant woman to give birth.
Li Se naturally saw that the pregnant woman was running out of strength. His silver needles reappeared in his hand as he continuously channeled spiritual energy into the pregnant woman's body. His already depleted spiritual energy was once again consumed.
"Wah..." After a full half-hour, a baby's cry finally rang out.
Upon hearing the cry, the onlookers were moved to tears.
Clap, clap, clap...
In the next moment, applause erupted.
"Congratulations, it's a girl," Li Se said, handing the baby to the man.
"Thank you, thank you..." the man said tearfully and gratefully.
"Doctor... Thank you..." the pregnant woman's voice was very weak, but she knew what had happened during the process. She knew that without Li Se, she might not have survived.
"Saving lives is our duty as doctors," Li Se smiled. He tried to stand up but his legs buckled, and he stumbled to the side. Fortunately, Fang Xiuxiu reacted quickly and supported him.
Collapsing into Fang Xiuxiu's arms, Li Se felt a delicate fragrance and a soft embrace.
"Doctor, are you alright?" the man asked.
"I'm fine," Li Se waved his hand.
"This is all my savings. Thank you, Doctor..." The man took out a large sum of money, intending to give it to Li Se.
"No need," Li Se smiled and shook his head. "Keep it for milk powder for the baby."
After thanking Li Se profusely again, the man also asked about Li Se's clinic, thinking that he would seek treatment there for any future issues.
"Quick, take them to Ren Ai Hospital. The baby is just born and is very weak; she needs good care!" Liu Dawei shouted loudly.
"No need!" the man refused.
Li Se patted his shoulder. "It's best to go to a larger hospital; they will have better care."
The man hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Register under my department, and I'll give you a discount!" Liu Dawei said quickly.
"Doctor Liu, I hope you can be a proper doctor!" Li Se said sarcastically, having seen too many doctors like him.
"You..." Liu Dawei was somewhat angry.
However, after saying this, Li Se did not linger. With Fang Xiuxiu's support, he returned to the car and soon closed his eyes to rest.
The expenditure today had been too great, almost draining him completely. This had caused significant damage to his body, even affecting his strength, which would require some time to recover through cultivation.
Beside him, Fang Xiuxiu simply gazed at Li Se, her pretty eyes filled with tenderness.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Se finally recovered. He opened his eyes and saw Fang Xiuxiu staring at him. He then pulled Fang Xiuxiu into his embrace and smiled slightly. "Do you think I'm handsome?"
"You're so annoying!" Fang Xiuxiu said shyly, her pretty face instantly flushing red.
"Let's go, let's get something to eat. I'm rather hungry," Li Se was indeed very hungry now, having consumed so much energy earlier.
"Mmm-hmm," Fang Xiuxiu nodded.
Soon, they found a nearby restaurant. After eating, Li Se sent Fang Xiuxiu back. As soon as he left, he received a call from Zhao Ba.
In a bar.
"Divine Doctor Li!" Xiao Dao was waiting at the entrance of the bar and rushed to greet Li Se upon seeing him.
Li Se nodded and followed Xiao Dao into a private room in the bar.
"Little Li, I've brought the person you wanted," Zhao Ba said. Although Zhao Ba always addressed Li Se as Little Li, there was a hint of respect in his tone.
"Brother Zhao, thank you," Li Se nodded and glanced at Fang Tiancheng, who was cowering in the corner.
"My daughter told you not to touch me, but... how could you catch me behind her back?" Fang Tiancheng said fearfully.
Li Se walked up to Fang Tiancheng, his face cold. "I didn't want to lay a hand on you in front of Xiu Xiu, but now that she's not here, even if I do, she won't know it was me."
Fang Tiancheng was extremely scared. "I won't dare again, I promise. I won't have any more designs on Xiu Xiu. Let me go. If you really hurt me, and she finds out one day, she won't forgive you."
"What are you afraid of? This is a society governed by law. I'm not going to kill you," Li Se flashed a smile, but to Fang Tiancheng, this smile was no different from that of a demon.
"You... what do you want to do?" Fang Tiancheng trembled.
"I want to ensure you never appear before Xiu Xiu again. Will you agree to that?" Li Se asked with a smile.
"Of course, I'll never appear before her again. I swear!" Fang Tiancheng raised two fingers to the sky.
Li Se shook his head. "But I don't believe you. So, I will ensure that you can never appear before Xiu Xiu again."
"Don't kill me... don't kill me..." Fang Tiancheng was so terrified that he urinated himself.
Li Se frowned. This Fang Tiancheng was too cowardly; he was already wetting himself?
Zhao Ba beside him said, "Little Li, making him disappear is a simple matter. Leave it to me."
"No need, I'll handle it myself," Li Se shook his head and touched Fang Tiancheng's chest with his finger, channeling a surge of cold energy into his body.
"Ah!" Fang Tiancheng cried out. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Li Se said coldly, "From now on, you will endure the torment of ice periodically. This is merely your punishment, but if you dare to appear before Xiu Xiu again, I will make your death agonizing!"
