The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1438 - 1437: A Lifelong Savior

Tang Rao silently recited in his heart."Tang Rao, I know this isn't your fault, it's Ke Xin who's troubling you. I won't blame you, Ke Xin won't blame you either, don't worry."

Zhang Kexin chose to commit suicide to forget Tang Rao. If she's not afraid of death, what is there to fear?

Surely, it was because she liked Tang Rao too much, couldn't control her feelings, and was afraid of troubling him, that Zhang Kexin chose this path.

"Is Zhang Kexin foolish?"

Tang Rao threw out a sentence and rushed to Zhang Kexin's room.

In the boudoir, the difference between men and women was ignored. The doctor checked Zhang Kexin's injuries and shook his head repeatedly.

Batch after batch of doctors were powerless, and Zhang Kexin's last breath was slowly fading away.

"Doctor, how is Zhang Kexin's condition? Has the poison been neutralized?"

Inside was deathly silent, Tang Rao never imagined meeting Zhang Kexin again in such a setting.

The doctor, with a sorrowful expression, shook his head and said, "No way, unless a deity brings the Nine Revival Pill to see if she can be revived. Otherwise, you should prepare her affairs."

Such a pity for such a good girl, from a good family, and so pretty, to be gone like this.

The doctor sighed and left.

Only Tang Rao remained in the room, and after the doctor left, the deathly scent on Zhang Kexin's body began to appear.

The doctor was right, Zhang Kexin was indeed dying. How long can someone with a deathly scent live?

Tang Rao walked to her side, sat on Zhang Kexin's bed, looked at her pale face, those quiet eyes, and tightly closed lips. A girl with a big chest can also be so vulnerable; silent, she looked so pleasing.

"Zhang Kexin, the doctor said only a deity with a Nine Revival Pill can save you. Today I am that deity; your life is saved by me. Show some respect in the future!"

Suddenly, a milky white Jade Purifying Bottle appeared in Tang Rao's hand, containing the Nine Revival Pill. Tang Rao had four left, he gave one to Zhang Kexin, leaving three for himself.

Every Nine Revival Pill is worth a city; no, more than a city. It was the most difficult elixir Tang Rao had ever crafted. Without hesitation, he gave it to Zhang Kexin, feeling no regret.

Zhang Kexin was completely unconscious, so Tang Rao had to pry open her mouth and place the Nine Revival Pill inside.

Oh no, she can't swallow either?

Tang Rao realized the Nine Revival Pill couldn't dissolve on its own; it had to be swallowed. The key issue was that it couldn't be swallowed, and water didn't help. What to do? He couldn't just transfer the pill while she was unconscious, right?

No one on the left, no one on the right, no one behind, Tang Rao figured nobody would catch him doing it.

He lifted Zhang Kexin's head, looked at her pale little lips, and decided: Is her life or purity more important? Tang Rao quickly made his decision and transferred the pill using his mouth.

"Ke Xin, my dear Ke Xin, it was all my fault for not taking good care of you."

The old man, heeding the doctor's words, came to see Zhang Kexin for the last time and make arrangements, only to walk in on what? Tang Rao kissing Zhang Kexin?

This rascal, he didn't cherish Zhang Kexin while she was alive, waiting until she's nearly dead to take advantage of her; it was infuriating!

Tang Rao heard someone call from behind. The old man turned around, noticing Tang Rao and Zhang Kexin's intimate actions caught in the act. Tang Rao wanted to explain, but the words got caught in his throat, unsure of how to make the old man believe him.

In such a matter, who could easily be convinced?

"Old man, I'd like to explain. You wouldn't believe me if I said I was just transferring air to Zhang Kexin, right?"

Tang Rao shook his arm, looking desperate.

Indeed, if he walked into a room and saw someone else doing this, his first reaction would be the old man's stuffy, angry expression.

"Tang Rao, I want to talk to Ke Xin."

Did the old man mean to let Tang Rao leave, giving Zhang Kexin and him some private farewell time as grandfather and granddaughter?

But Zhang Kexin wasn't awake yet. If Tang Rao left now and a complication arose, the old man wouldn't be able to handle it either.

"Wait, until she wakes up, then I'll go out."

Tang Rao stood by the bed, observing Zhang Kexin while explaining to the old man.

"Ke Xin is dying, and you won't let me have a heart-to-heart with my Ke Xin?"

The old man was heavily hit by the news of Zhang Kexin's impending death. With every word to Tang Rao, he felt the weight in his chest.

"Who said she's dying? The doctor didn't say there was no way to save her. Miracles could happen any moment now."

A seventh-grade Nine Revival Pill was enough to awaken Zhang Kexin. If it didn't work, Tang Rao would quit alchemy to avoid disgracing his ancestors in the alchemy world.

"The doctor did say that, but he also said unless a deity appears with a Nine Revival Pill. Do you have one?"

Without it, saying anything was pointless.

Tang Rao was indeed a seventh-grade Alchemist, but crafting the ancient mysterious Nine Revival Pill? It was laughable, wasn't it?

"I do, I was just transferring air to her to help her ingest the elixir. It's just that you all don't quite believe in the pure relationship between me and Zhang Kexin, so I have no way to prove it."

Tang Rao explained all he could, but it was troublesome when nobody believed him.

The old man suddenly grabbed Tang Rao's hand and sniffed them, detecting the lingering scent of the Nine Revival Pill.

No mistake about it.

"Boy, this Nine Revival Pill is an unattainable treasure in the Divine Realm. How did you obtain it?"

The old man had lived a long life but had only heard of it, never seen it in reality.

No shops had it, no connections could get it, only those at the top of the pyramid could possibly exchange power for the secretively crafted Nine Revival Pill, yet the amount was still too limited.

If the pill Zhang Kexin just took was indeed a Nine Revival Pill, Tang Rao would become Zhang Kexin's lifelong benefactor, a debt she could never repay.

"I got it by chance, only had one on me, and gave it all to Zhang Kexin."

Tang Rao had heard of its worth from a dark-clad figure once, then heard it again from the old man. Naturally, he understood the true value of the elixir.

It was just a pity for the difficulty in crafting, the elusive formulas; the three remaining pills he had, no one should dare think about them.
