As the voice echoed in his mind, Lu Chen’s blurry consciousness gradually sharpened, as if a veil had been lifted. He could clearly feel a warm current slowly blooming in his chest, spreading outward like sunlight melting ice, easing the searing pain that had racked his body from the violent impact. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
The sensation wasn’t fleeting; it lingered, comforting. And when it finally faded, the agony in his limbs vanished with it. His body felt light. His thoughts became clear as crystal. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
What… what just happened? — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Was it because of the jade pendant around his neck? — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Dazed, Lu Chen instinctively reached for his chest, fingers brushing against the cool, blood-slick surface of the Yin-Yang pendant shaped like the yin yang fish. Moments ago, he thought the voice in his head was nothing more than a hallucination born from trauma and desperation, but now, he knew better. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
It was real. All of it. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Then a surge of information poured into his mind. Medical knowledge. Techniques so advanced they felt divine. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
But there was too much. Far too much. The legacy being transmitted into his memory was vast and profound, a towering edifice of healing arts that would take time to fully absorb. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Could it be? Did he actually survive a disaster only to stumble into a miracle? — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Did he inherit the legacy of an Immortal Doctor? — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
As his mind steadied, the puzzle pieces clicked into place. That pendant was a family heirloom, passed down through generations. His grandfather had once told him stories claiming that one of their ancestors was a divine doctor. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Lu Chen never believed it until now. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Isn’t that Lu Chen from Medical School? Poor guy… got hit so hard he flew clean across the street. No way he makes it out of this.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“I heard the one who hit him was Professor Ji from the Marine Biology Department… she’s in big trouble.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Well, it’s not like it’s her fault. The guy dashed out of nowhere! That’s practically suicide!” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
The bystanders, most of them students from Qingling University, gathered in a loose circle, murmuring with concern and curiosity. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Then, to their utter disbelief, Lu Chen stirred and stood up. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Gasps echoed across the street. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
He stretched his arms, twisted his torso, checked his limbs, and stood there like nothing had happened. As if he hadn’t just been flung through the air and painted the pavement red. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Eyes bulged and mouths dropped as they couldn’t believe it was real. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Professor Ji Shuiyao rushed toward him, anxiety etched into her face. “Are you Lu Chen? From Medical School? How do you feel? Are you alright?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Looking at the renowned campus goddess standing before him, Lu Chen felt a wave of nervous excitement stir in his chest. Of course, he knew her. Everyone did. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
He was a second-year med student. Ji Shuiyao, the legendary beauty of the Marine Biology Department, was a figure of dreams for many students. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
In his half-conscious daze earlier, he did not recognize the driver. Now, seeing her up close, his heart thumped wildly. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Professor Ji, I’m actually…” He began with a smile, about to reassure her that he felt great, but then his instincts kicked in. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Right. He couldn’t forget why he jumped in front of the car in the first place. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Money. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
He bit back the words and quickly changed course. “Look at me, do I look like I’m fine?” he said, gesturing at his blood-streaked clothes. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Ji Shuiyao blinked. “But you’re standing, talking clearly, and… you seem completely fine.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“I look fine,” Lu Chen grimaced, quickly clutching his side and forcing a pained expression, “but inside, it hurts. I might’ve injured my internal organs.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Then don’t move around,” she said quickly. “I’ve already called an ambulance.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Lu Chen knew his body was perfectly fine now. Going to the hospital would just waste precious time. After a moment’s thought, he dropped the act and straightened up, brushing off the pain. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“My grandfather’s about to undergo surgery at Qingling University Hospital. I need to get there immediately.” He paused, then added slyly, “But maybe you could offer a little compensation now, and we’ll settle the rest later.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“You’re sure you can make it in your condition?” Ji Shuiyao hesitated, clearly still concerned. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“No problem at all,” Lu Chen replied confidently. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Seeing his steady bearing and clear speech, Ji Shuiyao no longer pressed the issue. She reached into her purse, pulled out what cash she had, and handed it over. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“I only have ten thousand yuan in cash,” she said, then added a business card. “If you need anything else, feel free to contact me anytime. We can work out the rest of the compensation later.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Lu Chen accepted the money and card without a shred of shame. As he took them, his gaze lingered on Ji Shuiyao. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Just money? — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Not nearly enough. If you really want to settle this properly… you’ll have to compensate with yourself. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Back when he was just a broke med student with no backing, he only dared to admire her from afar. A goddess professor like Ji Shuiyao was out of reach, a figure etched in mist and moonlight. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
But not anymore. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Now that he had inherited the legacy of an Ancient Immortal Doctor, his fate had changed. Fortune would follow. Power would follow. Status would follow. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
His mindset shifted, and his ambitions changed. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Lu Chen successfully faked the accident, now has a connection to the campus goddess. He’s determined to make use of it and feels fired up just thinking about chasing her. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
To claim the untouchable goddess, make her fall for him, make her his… just the thought made his heart race. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
But… he couldn’t afford to dawdle. His grandfather was still waiting at the hospital for surgery. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Suppressing the fire in his veins, Lu Chen turned and squeezed through the dispersing crowd, jogging off in the direction of the affiliated hospital. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
As he broke free of the crowd, he nearly collided with someone. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
The student standing in front of him was a campus celebrity, a star among the freshmen—a towering presence from a wealthy lineage. Impeccably dressed, handsome as a movie idol, top of the class… the name was well known: Wang Haoran. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Even as a second-year, Lu Chen recognized him immediately. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
And yet, the moment he laid eyes on Wang Haoran, a strange surge of disgust welled up in his chest—sharp, irrational, visceral. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
This rich second-gen was always seen with the three most beautiful girls of the freshman year: Qin Yunhan, Xu Muyan, and Mu Zhaozhao. They studied at the same high school, and rumors said their relationship was uncommonly close. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Lu Chen had once seen them together with his own eyes, and at the time, envy nearly ate him alive. He had dreamed of being the one sitting beside those campus goddesses. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
But that was the past. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Now, he felt nothing but contempt. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
He had awakened a divine inheritance. His path had already split from theirs. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
What was a rich second-gen in the face of an immortal doctor? — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Even with all their money, they couldn’t buy their way out of illness. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
With that thought, Lu Chen didn’t even slow his pace. He brushed past Wang Haoran and ran on toward the hospital. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Wang Haoran glanced after him, mildly surprised to see someone sprinting by, blood still visible on their clothes. But he didn’t think too much of it. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
He was only passing through—not even curious enough to stop and take a look. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
However, as he turned to leave, the crowd began to disperse, revealing a familiar figure standing by the side of the road. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Leaning against a car, her expression tinged with lingering fear, was none other than Ji Shuiyao. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Wang Haoran walked over. “Professor Ji? Was that accident just now… did you hit someone?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Haoran?” Ji Shuiyao’s eyes lit up with surprise and delight the moment she saw him. Her voice softened as she greeted him, then nodded sheepishly. “Yes, it was me. I only got my license recently… I didn’t expect something like this to happen. But it’s strange. I hit him hard and he flew seven or eight meters, but somehow, even though he was covered in blood, he got up and walked away like nothing happened.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
