Chapter 2274

Zhu Yanyi felt lucky to be a cultivator. Otherwise, changing into so many outfits would have exhausted her.

For their photoshoot, they chose the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. They started at the Forbidden City early in the morning. Zhu Yanyi wore Tang suits, qipaos, and Hanfu. She also took a few photos in her wedding dress, which she planned to keep as a family heirloom. By 9:30 AM, they moved to the Great Wall.

There, they shot modern styles: military uniforms, daily suits, casual wear, sportswear, and wedding photos.

By 4:00 PM, the shoot was over.

Zhu Yanyi took off her headpieces and slumped over the passenger seat, watching Yan Aohan drive. "You aren't tired at all."

Yan Aohan glanced at her. "I’ll massage you when we get back."

Zhu Yanyi sat up, smiling. "Actually, I’m not tired either. But I have to look tired. If I look too energetic, people might think I’m weird."

Yan Aohan rubbed her head and kept driving.

Suddenly, Zhu Yanyi’s phone rang. She checked the number, raised an eyebrow, and answered. "Senior Brother Jing Tian, what’s wrong?"

"Little Junior Sister, where are you?" Gu Jing Tian asked.

"Just finished wedding photos at the Great Wall. What’s up?" Zhu Yanyi knew Gu Jing Tian never called without a reason.

"Hurry to the Capital War Medicine Hospital. There’s a special patient."

"Isn’t Senior Brother Qing Yun there? Can’t she handle it?" Zhu Yanyi frowned. Yu Qing Yun’s medical skills were good, even if not as good as hers.

"Qing Yun is injured and can’t operate. He said only you can help. I’m on my way too."

"Qing Yun is hurt? Okay, I’m coming." Zhu Yanyi hung up and told Yan Aohan, "Capital War Medicine Hospital. Special patient. Senior Brother Qing Yun is injured and can’t treat her."

Yan Aohan didn’t speak. He just adjusted the direction toward the hospital.

When Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan arrived, Gu Jing Tian was already there. They met at the entrance. Gu Jing Tian led the way. "I don’t know the details. A soldier received some kind of shock. Her life force is fading fast. She’s a brave warrior who completed many difficult missions."

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Let me see. If she can be saved, I won’t give up."

As the mistress of the Underworld, Zhu Yanyi understood that some lives could not be saved. It wasn’t because of bad fate or evil deeds, but because their time had come. Some people gained new life through death, becoming immortals or spirits. Fate was hard to change.

An Xiaoxiao was different. Her fate was a tribulation, unlike the soldiers’. Many soldiers had high karmic merit. Their death was a way to gain rebirth. Ordinary people didn’t know this.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan came to check if this soldier had reached that point. If she was ready for rebirth, she wouldn’t stop it. That would violate the laws of heaven. If not, she would save her.

They followed Gu Jing Tian to the special operating room. Yu Qing Yun was giving orders for preparations. The soldier lay on the operating table.

Zhu Yanyi looked at Yu Qing Yun. "What happened to your hand?"

Yu Qing Yun’s hand was bandaged and hung from his chest. No wonder he couldn’t operate.

"I was hit by a car at work today. Broken bones. I can’t hold a scalpel for now." Yu Qingyun hadn’t expected such bad luck.

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "I’ll check the soldier first. Then I’ll look at you." She walked over with Gu Jing Tian.

As Gu Jing Tian said, the soldier’s life force was disappearing rapidly.

Zhu Yanyi looked at her and said, "Everyone out. Aohan stays to help me. The rest, leave."

"What’s wrong?" Gu Jing Tian asked.

"Don’t ask. Leave now. I’ll explain when I come out." Zhu Yanyi added, "No one enters until I come out." She didn’t want interruptions.

"Okay." Gu Jing Tian didn’t know why, but he trusted her. He left immediately.

Yu Qingyun also knew his junior sister wasn’t unreasonable. He ordered everyone out, left himself, and had the door closed.

"Strong radiation," Zhu Yanyi said softly.

Yan Aohan checked the Earth Book. "He was investigating a country’s nuclear weapons. They discovered him. He got the important data. If he dropped the data, he could escape safely. But the data was too important, so he didn’t drop it. He crossed the most radioactive area."

"She survived this long because of her will," Zhu Yanyi said calmly. "Aohan, watch the surroundings. I don’t want to be disturbed. This is my first time using the Yanluo Nine Needles."

Yan Aohan smiled lightly. "Do your work. I’ll handle the rest."

Zhu Yanyi took out Spirit Liquid and poured it into the soldier’s mouth. Then she took out the golden needles.

The Yanluo Nine Needles. Zhu Yanyi had mastered them all, but this was the first time she used them fully. It was like snatching life from Venerable Yanluo. Fortunately, Venerable Yanluo had no interest in taking this soldier’s life. As long as the needles helped the soldier, she could save her.

The Yanluo Nine Needles were called nine needles, but each needle contained nine formations. When all nine needles were inserted, eighty-one formations rotated inside the body, restoring all lost life force.
