Su Yingxue had attempted the procedure herself, but the tools she created differed significantly from those her mother illustrated. She could only use it to cut open a rabbit.
“If applied to a human body… that would be impossible!”
Saint Ruan raised an eyebrow. “Didn’t your mother leave you a set of surgical tools?”
Su Yingxue shook her head. “Mother left behind many medical books and records, but as for surgical tools… there weren’t any.”
Muttering to himself, Saint Ruan said, “That shouldn’t be the case. I saw her with some twenty years ago…”
“Who are you?”
Before Saint Ruan could finish his sentence, the palace guards from the Marquis’s Manor glanced over keenly.
Saint Ruan seized Su Yingxue, blending into the night. Fortunately, his exceptional lightness skill allowed them to evade the guards and reach Su Dingheng’s bed smoothly.
Saint Ruan examined Su Dingheng’s pulse and symptoms. Confirming what Su Yingxue had described, there was indeed something growing inside his body. Traditional medical methods might not suffice, and using poison could be too harsh for Su Dingheng’s frail body.
Saint Ruan’s attention returned to Su Yingxue. “Did your mother truly leave nothing for you?”
Just as Su Yingxue was about to shake her head, the black box suddenly appeared in her mind. The black box only had one lock but could not be opened no matter how hard she tried.
She brought Saint Ruan back to the courtyard and asked him to wait in the wing. She entered the Medicine King Valley and took out the black box. She brought it to Saint Ruan and said, “You know my mother. Do you know how to open this?”
Nonsense!
Su Yingxue knocked it hard a few times. “This thing won’t be messed up by a knife, won’t be moved by an axe, and even poison won’t be able to corrode it. I always thought that it didn’t have much use. And this lock, 1 don’t recognize these things on it.”
Su Yingxue let Saint Ruan take a look, and Saint Ruan’s eyes lit up. “It’s a password lock!”
“A password lock?” Su Yingxue was curious and asked, “How do 1 open it?”
“Simple, use a password to unlock it!”
“What’s the password? How do 1 unlock it?”
Su Yingxue looked at Saint Ruan with the curiosity of a child. Feeling a bit pressured, Saint Ruan began explaining, “Look at these symbols, they are called numbers! Different from ours, these are called Araguay numbers! This is 1, this is 2, this is 3…”
Su Yingxue listened to Saint Ruan’s explanation, and then she queried, “How do I open it, after all?”
Wiping his forehead covered in sweat, Saint Ruan hesitated. “This number is a three-digit combination… there are…”
How many possibilities were there?
D*mn it!
Long Shuli had told him years ago, but after so much time, he had forgotten!
However, he recalled that Long Shuli had scolded him with some numbers many years ago. What were those numbers?
438?
Saint Ruan closed his eyes and attempted the combination. Unexpectedly, the box clicked open.
“Saint Ruan, you truly are my mother’s good friend!”
Excited, Su Yingxue patted his shoulder.
Saint Ruan smiled awkwardly. He wasn’t sure if being such a sarcastic friend was a good thing.
But this 438… He mumbled, “438, 438… Why does it sound so strange?”
Su Yingxue opened the box casually, responding, “438… D*mn b*tch?”
She laughed after saying that. “So it’s d*mn b*tch’!”
“Su Yingxue!” Saint Ruan’s jade-like face instantly reddened with anger..
