Chapter 541: Chapter 542 Ye Wudao Awakens

What?

Alive?!

Upon hearing this, Grandfather Zhong’s face was filled with scorn as he said, "Miss, I just took a good look at this youngster. Look at the corpse spots on his body; he has been dead for at least a week. How could he possibly still be alive?"

"But Grandfather Zhong, look, the Life-Extinguishing Pill cannot enter his mouth..." the stunningly beautiful girl said, pointing at Ye Wudao’s mouth with her finger.

When Grandfather Zhong saw the Life-Extinguishing Pill by Ye Wudao’s mouth, he displayed a look of curiosity; "This is a bit strange. Normally, only the living cannot swallow the Life-Extinguishing Pill. Could it be that this lad is truly alive!"

The breathtakingly beautiful girl extended her slender jade hand and placed it on Ye Wudao’s pulse.

"Miss, you mustn’t. You are a lady of noble birth, so precious. How could you touch the hand of a corpse and stain yourself with bad luck!" the old man protested, but the breathtakingly beautiful girl had already closed her beautiful eyes to take the pulse.

"The heart meridian is shattered, blood coagulated, he is indeed dead..." the exquisitely beautiful girl was about to let go when suddenly, her beautiful eyes snapped open; "He, he still has a heartbeat!"

What?

A heartbeat!

The old man shook his head vigorously; "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Grandfather Zhong, you have a look yourself," said the beautiful girl.

"Alright." Grandfather Zhong chuckled; "Then I really want to see this rare occurrence!"

With that, he placed his hand upon Ye Wudao’s hand.

"Eh, this youngster really does have a heartbeat!" the elder’s expression changed, and his gaze fixed on Ye Wudao, as if he could see through everything.

"This young man, so young, and yet he is a Second-Rank Battle King! Quite rare indeed, but, it seems he fought with someone far stronger than himself and was gravely injured. It looks like he used some sort of Forbidden Law, huh, this Forbidden Law is really powerful..." The elder guessed most of it correctly and slowly began to speak.

"Grandfather Zhong, can he still survive?" the beautiful girl asked with concern.

"He can’t be saved, miss, he’s already a living dead person!" the elder replied.

Living dead?

The beautiful girl’s lovely eyes revealed confusion.

"The so-called living dead, this lad has broken life force, his life nearing its end! But his fate is extremely stubborn, resisting death, resulting in a state where he can’t fully die!" the elder elaborated.

"Grandfather Zhong, please save him!" the stunningly beautiful girl pleaded.

"Miss, I truly don’t possess the ability to cure him, I can only barely extend his life for him..." the elder shook his head; "Across the world, those who can save a living dead person are few and far between!"

"Grandfather can definitely do it!" the beautiful girl said; "I will ask Grandfather to save him!"

"Nonsense!" the elder rarely showed anger and said; "Miss, do you know where we are? Youming Valley! Every year, the number of people who die here is not less than ten thousand! Why should we save him?"

"Grandfather Zhong, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda... is, is there something wrong with saving a life too..." the beautiful girl said as crystal-clear tears streamed down from her lovely eyes.

Seeing this, the old man beside her, even with a heart of stone, softened somewhat and quickly coaxed; "Miss, my little ancestor, don’t cry! Saving lives is not wrong, it’s not wrong..."

"Hehe, I knew Grandfather Zhong was the kindest at heart!" the stunningly beautiful girl broke into laughter through her tears.

"But miss, saving him is fine, but how do you know whether he is a good person or a bad one?" the elder asked.

"He shouldn’t be a bad person, my intuition tells me, and also..." the beautiful girl wrapped her arm around the elder’s, acting coyly; "With Grandfather Zhong here, even if he were a bad person, he wouldn’t be able to bully me!"

"Hehe, that’s true," the elder looked at Ye Wudao and smiled ruefully; "Lucky you, boy, you encountered our young miss who is willing to save you. Well, it must be the good fortune in your destiny!"

Saying this, the elder took out a silver pill from his person and placed it into Ye Wudao’s mouth.

The elder’s gaze remained intensely fixed on Ye Wudao, only to discover that he had no reaction whatsoever.

"Grandfather Zhong, what’s happening?" the beautiful girl asked.

"Strange! Even the Silver Pill I concocted can’t awaken him..." the elder said, then took out two more pills from his hand and placed them all in Ye Wudao’s mouth.

It was of minimal effect, without any reaction at all.

"Miss, this lad can’t be saved! Let’s leave!" the elder shook his head.

"Let’s try with my pill!" Out came a golden pill from the beautiful girl’s person.

"No, miss, this is the Third-Rank Golden Soul Pill personally concocted by the master for you. Even Seventh-Rank Battle Emperors would be envious. How could you feed it to a dead person?" the elder protested anxiously.

"It’s alright, I have dozens of Third-Rank Golden Soul Pills!" the girl said, and directly placed a Third-Rank Golden Soul Pill into Ye Wudao’s mouth.

"Miss, the Third-Rank Golden Soul Pill is ineffective. You should just give up," Grandpa Zhong shook his head.

"If the Third-Rank Golden Soul Pill won’t do, then let’s try a Fourth-Rank Golden Soul Pill!" The stunning girl said, taking out a vermillion-colored pill from her person, radiating fearsome Spiritual Power.

"Good heavens, Miss, that’s a Fourth-Rank Golden Soul Pill, priceless! Just a single Fourth-Rank Golden Soul Pill would cause countless eighth-grade War Emperors to fight fiercely over it, leading to bloodshed and carnage. How can you casually give it to a dead man?" The old man was frantic with worry.

"Oh dear, it’s fine!" The stunning girl fed Ye Wudao the Fourth-Rank Golden Soul Pill, then her beautiful eyes watched him intently, full of expectation, "Wake up, wake up!"

"Cough!" Ye Wudao let out a dry cough and slowly opened his eyes.

"Am I dead?"

"You’re awake!" The stunning girl’s beautiful eyes sparkled with joy.

Ye Wudao was startled, staring intently at the stunning girl, "How could there be such a beautiful woman in hell, my beauty, are you a hell’s messenger?"

Bang!

The stunning girl stretched out her hand and knocked on Ye Wudao’s head, "You’re the hell’s messenger, I am a human, silly!"

What?

A human!

Ye Wudao was shocked, "Does that mean I’m still alive..."

"Nonsense!" The old man beside him scolded, "Our young lady saved you using a Fourth-Rank Golden Soul Pill, barely keeping you alive!"

"Cough, cough!" Ye Wudao spat out fresh blood and bowed deeply to the stunning girl, "I am Ye Wudao, thank you for saving my life. I have no way to repay you, but I am willing to pledge my life in friendship!"

As he spoke, suddenly, Ye Wudao stumbled once more and fell to the ground, his face showing pain.

"Ah!" Ye Wudao spat out black blood from the corner of his mouth.

"What’s wrong with you?" The stunning girl quickly helped Ye Wudao, and her face changed drastically when she saw the black spots on his hand, "Grandpa Zhong, look at the black spots on his body!"

The old man glanced at it, frowning, "These are the Corpse Spots of the Black Scale, the King of the Corpse Spots, it’s already in the late stage! Ah, Miss, you’ve wasted a Fourth-Rank Golden Soul Pill for nothing, he won’t live past three days!"

Ye Wudao forced a bitter smile, seemingly aware of the dire ailment afflicting him.

What?

The stunning girl lost her color, shaking her head vigorously, "No, I cannot stand by and watch someone die!"

"Miss, the Black Scale Corpse Spots are incurable! Even a Fifth-Rank Golden Soul Pill would be useless, at most extending his life for half a month,"

said the old man, "Unless it’s a Sixth-Rank Golden Soul Pill, perhaps there might be a slim chance..."

"Right, Grandpa has a Sixth-Rank Golden Soul Pill!" The stunning girl’s eyes lit up, then she said, "Come home with your sister, I’ll take you to see my grandpa, he’s incredibly powerful."

"This doesn’t seem appropriate..." Ye Wudao looked hesitant.

Grandpa Zhong’s gaze turned vacant, and he panicked in an instant, "What, did I hear wrong, Miss, you want to bring a strange man home?"

"Yes!"

"No, absolutely not!" Grandpa Zhong kept shaking his head, his face full of apprehension, "The master hates strangers, especially someone with an unknown background! If the master finds out, he will surely die, and then both of us will be in trouble!"

"Moreover, Miss, the master won’t likely give him the Sixth-Rank Golden Soul Pill. It’s a treasure beyond price, coveted even by the top War Emperors!"

"Miss, I thank you for saving me, Ye is very grateful, farewell!" Just as Ye Wudao was about to leave, he collapsed onto the ground once again.

"Are you alright?" The stunning girl asked with concern.

Ye Wudao’s face was ashen, corpse spots emerging, and he said with a wry smile, "Cough, Miss, no need to worry about me, I know the state of my body, I won’t live long."

"That’s not acceptable, you are my patient, I can’t just watch you die!"

The stunning girl was anxious and said, "Grandpa Zhong, with his current condition, he might not last the day, we must bring him home for treatment!"

"But if the master finds out..." the old man said with a troubled expression.

"I will deal with Grandpa," the stunning girl said.

After much hesitation, the old man finally gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, then I will make an exception this once and take him back!"
