Chapter 237: Chapter 237: Kill 1 Person For Me

Ye Feng looked at her and said calmly, "I’m not on the list of the nation’s top divine doctors. But several people on that list are my students."

"Pfft..." A few of the old men kneeling on the floor snorted, barely suppressing their laughter. ’This bastard really knows how to brag!’

Cao Xuan glared at Ye Feng and said coldly, "If you treat the Emperor today and he shows improvement, we can talk. But if there is no effect whatsoever, I will have you beheaded for the crime of desecrating His Majesty’s sacred person. Do you still dare treat the Emperor now?"

Long Xi’Er looked at Ye Feng, her eyes filled with unconcealed worry.

’If this guy really just walks away, I’ll be completely out of options.’

But Ye Feng simply replied, "Why wouldn’t I dare?"

"You..." Cao Xuan’s face turned frigid as she glared at Ye Feng. "Guards!"

A few royal guards rushed in again.

Cao Xuan said coldly, "Keep an eye on him. If he can’t wake the Emperor, drag him out and hack him to pieces."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the royal guards answered in unison. A wave of icy killing intent instantly filled the air.

But Ye Feng acted as if he hadn’t seen a thing. He walked to the side of the imperial bed, looked at Long Xi’Er, and said, "Long Xi’Er, I’m risking my life to treat the Emperor. So, your reward will have to be increased!"

Long Xi’Er’s face darkened. ’This man values money more than his own life!’

She glared at Ye Feng and said coldly, "As long as you can truly wake my father, I will agree to any and all of your demands."

"You got it," Ye Feng said with a smiling nod.

Just then, one of the green-robed old men kneeling on the floor looked at Ye Feng and spoke coldly. "We Imperial Physicians have already held a consultation. The Emperor is showing no signs of life. For you to spout such nonsense here... you truly don’t know your own limits!"

The others nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with schadenfreude as they looked at Ye Feng. ’Heh, trying to use this chance to make a name for himself? He’s just asking to die!’

Just then, Ye Feng produced a set of silver needles. He took a deep breath, his expression turning serious as he inserted them into five of Long Ao’s major acupoints. Then, he raised his hands and placed them over the tops of the five needles, channeling pure Inner Strength through them and into Long Ao’s body.

Cao Xuan snorted in disdain. "Just some crude trickery from the countryside. Utterly unrefined."

With that, she picked up her teacup and took a sip.

But in the next moment, the green-robed old man suddenly cried out, "I see it now! This... this is the Five Qi to the Origin technique! Heavens, I can’t believe I’m seeing the Five Qi to the Origin technique with my own eyes!"

"PFFT—" Cao Xuan, who had just taken a sip, sprayed a mouthful of tea. She glared at the green-robed old man and snapped, "Lin Hong! What is the meaning of this ruckus in the Hall of Mental Cultivation? Have you no decorum?"

The green-robed old man hastily begged for forgiveness. "Your Majesty, it’s just that I was so shocked to see the long-lost Five Qi to the Origin technique that I simply couldn’t control myself. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Cao Xuan said, displeased, "What ’Five Qi to the Origin technique’? Is it really something to make such a fuss over?"

The green-robed old man exclaimed excitedly, "The Five Qi to the Origin technique was created by the Divine Doctor Bian Que! When it comes to reviving the dead, it’s even more potent than the Yang Returning Needles! There was once a prince who had been dead for two days, but Divine Doctor Bian Que used this technique and literally dragged him back from the halls of King Yama!

But this technique demands flawless accuracy in locating acupoints and must be supported by Inner Strength. The requirements are so high that almost no one could master it, and it was eventually lost to history. I never imagined that this gentleman would be capable of performing such a technique.

The Emperor... he might actually wake up!"

Cao Xuan’s brow furrowed slightly.

She looked at Ye Feng, about to speak, but just then, she heard Long Xi’Er cry out in excitement, "He’s awake! Father is awake!"

She threw her arms around Long Ao, a joyful smile on her face. The next moment, she was weeping with happiness.

Cao Xuan glanced at the imperial bed, and her pupils contracted sharply.

Long Ao, who had been utterly motionless for so long, had actually opened his eyes.

At that moment, the long-robed old man looked at Ye Feng and shouted with emotion, "To bring the dead to life and give flesh to bone... you are a true Divine Doctor!"

The other Imperial Physicians behind him nodded in agreement.

Cao Xuan glared at them and snapped, "His Majesty’s life force was merely stimulated. It’s nothing more than a final flicker of life before death. What are you all shouting about?"

The men immediately fell silent.

At this, Ye Feng turned to Cao Xuan and said with a smile, "Actually, the Emperor is awake. This isn’t a final flicker of life. Your Majesty, from the sound of it, it seems you’re not happy that the Emperor has woken up?"

"You’re courting death!" Cao Xuan exploded with rage, but when she saw Long Ao lying on the bed, his eyes open and fixed on her with a sharp gaze, she quickly reined in her anger. Looking at him, she called out urgently,

"Your Majesty, he’s spouting nonsense! I wanted nothing more than for you to awaken! And now that you have, I am overjoyed."

With that, she raised a hand to dab at her eyes.

Ye Feng could see clearly that there wasn’t a single tear in the corner of her eye.

Just then, Long Ao spoke in a hoarse voice, "All of you may leave. I wish to be alone."

Cao Xuan waved her hand, and the crowd withdrew.

"You’ve worked hard taking care of me all this time. You should go and rest as well," Long Ao said, looking at Cao Xuan.

Cao Xuan hesitated for a moment before nodding. She then glared at Ye Feng and said, "Why are you still here? Didn’t you hear His Majesty wishes to be alone?"

But Long Ao spoke calmly, "Let him stay. I wish to express my gratitude."

Cao Xuan froze for a second, but ultimately nodded and turned to leave.

Once outside, her eyes turned ice-cold. She didn’t walk far before taking out a phone and making a call. "I need you to kill someone for me."

...

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation,

Long Ao looked at Ye Feng, a smile spreading across his face. "Divine Doctor, you have saved my life. Tell me, what reward do you desire? I will grant it."

Before Ye Feng could speak, Long Xi’Er cut in, "Father, I’ve already promised him a reward. You don’t need to give him anything else."

Long Ao looked at his daughter with a smile. "Oh? Let me hear it, then. What exactly did you promise our Divine Doctor?"

Long Xi’Er’s face flushed. "Well... I promised him a commandery..."

’She couldn’t bring herself to say the part about making Ye Feng her prince consort. Me and him? That’s not just robbing the cradle... that’s like... a dinosaur eating a spring chicken.’

But upon hearing this, Ye Feng grew anxious. "Hey, Long Xi’Er! You made it perfectly clear! As long as I woke the Emperor, you’d make me your prince consort. Don’t you dare go back on your word!"

The moment these words left his mouth, even the deeply composed Long Ao physically staggered. He looked at Long Xi’Er in astonishment. "Child... you... how could you promise such a reward?"

Long Xi’Er’s voice was hoarse. "Father, your health showed no signs of improving. I was desperate, so I organized a medical tournament to select a divine doctor to treat you. In order to attract a truly skilled physician, I... I..."

Long Ao looked at his daughter and nodded, gratified. "Good child. I will remember your filial piety."

Then, he turned to Ye Feng with a wry smile. "Divine Doctor, you see, this... arrangement with the princess is a bit... unconventional. How about I make an executive decision and amend the reward? I shall grant you the title of Prince, along with two commanderies. In exchange, you will voluntarily dissolve this marriage agreement with the princess. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng’s expression turned cold.
