Chapter 6: Chapter 8 Dawn Breaks, The Infant Cries

Qin Liuxi was furious.

To tell the truth, as an Alien Soul, she actually had little affection for the Qin Family. When she crossed over, it was when the original body was just five years old and had been sent back to the old mansion to be fostered, where she grew by herself.

Although it wasn't her original wish, by taking over the body, she had formed a karmic bond with the Qin family. She was karmically connected to these people, but if we're talking about closeness and importance, frankly, the Qin family members couldn't compare to Qi Huang and the siblings, Chen Pi, who stayed by her side.

At this moment, Old Mrs. Qin still didn't believe her and was preventing her from saving someone, which really infuriated Qin Liuxi.

"Old Lady, are you sure you want to stop me? If we continue to delay, she will end up with one corpse and three lost lives," Qin Liuxi said indifferently, pointing to the person on the birthing bed.

"Mother, Third Younger Sister-in-law is almost gone," Qin Meiniang spoke with a sobbing voice.

Everyone was shocked and turned back to look.

They saw Mrs. Gu with a bloodless face, eyes tightly shut, and so feeble and slow in her chest movements that they were barely noticeable.

At this rate, even if another doctor were called, it would probably be too late.

Old Mrs. Qin's face was ashen, she stumbled back a step, and old tears slipped from the corner of her eyes.

"Old Lady, let the eldest young lady perform acupuncture, if we delay any further, it will really be too late," the midwife said tremblingly. Although she was accustomed to seeing one body and two lives lost, the current situation was about three lives; if they were lost, it would be a sin.

As a midwife, of course, she wanted to see the mother and child safe; that was good for her reputation.

Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and advised, "Mother, we have no other option."

A dead horse must be treated as if it's alive; we can only leave it to fate.

Old Mrs. Qin closed her eyes, turned her head away, and heavily nodded.

It could be fortune or disaster, but if it's disaster, it can't be avoided; it's up to Heaven to decide.

Qi Huang had already lit a stick of incense, his focus and breath calm, comforting to the spirit. He then dissolved the talisman prepared by Qin Liuxi earlier in warm water and approached the bed.

Seeing that they had given in, Qin Liuxi snorted and, with detached efficiency, twirled the Golden Needle and plunged it directly into Third Mrs. Qin's major acupoint.

Two gasps were heard.

Qin Liuxi turned her head and glared coldly, quieting the commotion.

Old Mrs. Qin was also so frightened that her face turned pale, and her hand shook uncontrollably.

Mrs. Gu made a faint sound and slowly came to, her pupils slowly focusing, but her eyes were filled with despair.

"Drink this," Qin Liuxi had already taken the cup of talisman water from Qi Huang's hand and brought it to her lips.

Her voice was clear and cold, like a spring entering the ear, prompting Mrs. Gu to open her mouth subconsciously, and under everyone's astonished gaze, she drank all the water.

Qin Liuxi then took out a few more Golden Needles and inserted them into her body, at the bilateral three yin acupoints, Hegu acupoint, and Sanyinjiao, inserting the needles firmly and quickly.

"Show some spirit; if Third Uncle receives joyful news of you and the children being safe, it will be a comfort on his journey of exile, but if it ends in one corpse and three lost lives, I'm afraid he won't be able to live either. How miserable would it be for the younger sister to lose her mother at such a young age?"

Her words were cruel and harsh, but they acted like a shot of adrenaline to Mrs. Gu, bringing tears to her eyes and filling her with strength.

She must not die; she had to live and take care of her children.

"Midwife, come," Qin Liuxi glanced at the midwife and continued twirling the Golden Needles and performing acupuncture while chanting an unknown spell.

The midwife replied with an "Aye," gave Mrs. Gu a few instructions, and pushed on her stomach.

This scene, witnessed by Old Mrs. Qin and the others, made them look at Qin Liuxi as if she were a monster, filled with fear and bewilderment.

This young girl seemed different from all the others.

Dawn broke, and the cry of a newborn rose.
