over there for a rest and have some drinks," Osaka Yuzuki approached them with an enthusiastic demeanor."Sure! I'm feeling quite thirsty actually!" Liu Meng readily agreed. Then the group made their...Chapter 640: Silver Needles to Extend Life
"Mr. Sun, perhaps you shouldn't have come to see me." Yi Xiaoyin's eyebrows slightly furrowed, "There should be someone in this world who can cure your illness, but that person is not me."
Hearing these words, the last shred of hope lingering in Sun Bowen's heart vanished completely. However, he did not seem particularly upset because he had actually anticipated such a result from the very beginning. He had come here merely to take a chance on an odds of less than one in ten thousand.
"Miss Yi, I want to know just how serious my condition is" Sun Bowen's tone was calm, knowing that his fate was sealed, he no longer felt afraid of death, "Or rather, how much time do I have left"
"Mr. Sun, I've already mentioned earlier that there are people in this world who can cure your illness, you just need to find them and naturally won't die." Yi Xiaoyin slowly said.
With a faint smile, Sun Bowen replied: "Miss Yi, the person you're referring to should be Xia Tian, right"
"Since Mr. Sun is aware of it, there's no need for me to explain further," Yi Xiaoyin revealed a gentle smile.
"Miss Yi, if I tell you that my current situation is Summer’s doing, would you think I still should seek him out" Sun Bowen asked calmly.
The beautiful eyebrows of Yi Xiaoyin furrowed slightly again: "Mr. Sun, are you implying that the renowned doctor named Summer with the title 'World's Number One Divine Doctor' harmed you with his medical skills"
"Yes, so if Miss Yi can't save me, I am doomed," Sun Bowen nodded and said.
Yi Xiaoyin was silent for a few seconds before shaking her head somewhat regretfully: "I'm sorry, Mr. Sun, but I truly don’t have the capability to save you."
"Miss Yi doesn't need to feel guilty about this; I’ve been mentally prepared for it," another smile appeared on Sun Bowen’s pale face, "Actually, my main reason for coming to see Miss Yi today isn't to ask her to treat me."
"Oh" The serene and elegant face of Yi Xiaoyin was no longer calm at this moment, instead showing a hint of surprise. "I wonder what else Mr. Sun needs from me"
"I heard that Miss Yi also possesses an incredibly miraculous ability—extending life with silver needles." Sun Bowen stared at Yi Xiaoyin. "Though I know you rarely use your power for others, shouldn’t you acknowledge having this ability"
"Since Mr. Sun knows about extending life with silver needles, then he must understand what ‘extending life’ means," replied Yi Xiaoyin without denying it. "Extending someone’s life merely buys them a little more time but can't save their life."
Edwin Bowen nodded: "Miss Yi, I understand that right now, all I want is to extend my lifespan. Although I'm not a divine doctor and know the condition of my own body quite well, I realize that in this state, I probably won’t last even a week. But there are some things yet unfinished that I need to deal with, so I require more time."
"Mr. Sun, although I can use silver needles to extend life for others, extending life also comes with side effects," Yi Xiaoyin said slowly. "Unless I confirm that you have no chance of recovery, I won't be willing to extend your life. In fact, there are still doctors who could cure your illness now, so I cannot extend your life. Once I do that, even Summer wouldn’t be able to save you."
"Miss Yi, although Summer might possibly save me, he simply would not," Sun Bowen said somewhat urgently. "Therefore, in reality, my death is inevitable, which does not violate the principle of extending someone's life for them." "I'm not afraid of death; I just never expected to die at this moment. There are still many things I haven't completed or settled. I genuinely need more time—be it a month or even half a month. As long as I can function normally during that period, after which, whether I live or die, I would have no regrets."
I Xiao Yin pondered for a moment before asking, "Mr. Sun, have you made up your mind"
"Yes, I've already decided!" Sun Bowen nodded without hesitation.
"There are some things I must tell you first," said I Xiao Yin. "Your health condition is very poor; all the organs in your body are rapidly deteriorating and aging. This means that it's not just one organ failing but all of them starting to age at an alarming rate. Under normal circumstances, you'll likely fall into a coma within three days and then pass away shortly after that."
"Thank you for informing me of this, Miss I. However, I was mentally prepared for this," Sun Bowen remained calm upon hearing this.
"Perhaps Mr. Sun has heard about my ability to extend people’s lives, or the cases where those with terminal illnesses who were unlikely to survive a month are still alive and well after I extended their life span. But I must tell you that in those cases, usually only one organ was affected, so extending their life allowed them to live for a longer period. However, your case is unique," I Xiao Yin sighed gently. "Even if I use silver needles to extend your life, you will only have another half month to live. After that, there’s nothing even神仙could do to help you. Are you still sure about this"
"Half a month, then" Sun Bowen paused for a moment. "Miss I, may I ask if I can go about my daily life like an ordinary person during these half a month"
"That's no problem. During these two weeks, you might not feel particularly great, but it won't be bad either; the difference compared to an ordinary person wouldn't be too significant." This time, Yī Xiǎoyīn gave Sun Bowen a positive answer.
"Alright then, Miss Yī, please prolong my life for me." Sun Bowen immediately made his decision. Fifteen days was indeed not long, but it was sufficient for him.
"Since Mr. Sun is determined to do this, then I'll agree." Yī Xiǎoyīn nodded her head, "However, I believe you're aware that there's a fee for my services in prolonging lives."
"Of course, Miss Yī, how much should I pay" Sun Bowen asked hurriedly.
"Extending life by one day costs ten thousand. I can only give you fifteen days of extra time, so you'll need to pay a total of one hundred and fifty thousand." Yī Xiǎoyīn stated calmly.
"Understood, I will pay right now." Sun Bowen was well-prepared before coming here. He took out the check he had already prepared, filled in the amount, and handed it over to Yī Xiǎoyīn.
The girl behind Yi Xiaoyin took the check, glanced at it, and casually put it in her pocket. Clearly, she was used to dealing with such large checks.
"Very well, let's begin the silver needle life-saving procedure!" Yi Xiaoyin slowly straightened up.
In the Earth Group base, Mu Han's dormitory:
"Finally done! Honey, here you go!" Xia Tian stretched and handed the newly compiled textbook to Mu Han.
"Honey, thank you so much. Let’s go eat first," Mu Han smiled flirtatiously at Xia Tian.
"Not hungry. I’ll have a taste of you before I eat." Xia Tian grumbled and swept Mu Han into his arms without giving her a chance to refuse, sealing her lips with a kiss.ound to leave."Police!""Stay right there! Don’t move!""Hands up!"...Several stern shouts suddenly echoed through the area, as dozens of fully armed police officers rushed in with their guns pointed at...
