Such a beautiful woman would arouse improper thoughts in any man.
Yet all that sensual allure had completely vanished under Su Wanyue’s ruthless verbal abuse.
Dragging Chen Tian out to the door had left Su Wanyue covered in sweat.
Just as she reached out to slam the door and lock it, a sharp pain struck her.
Clutching her lower abdomen, she let out a succession of groans.
A sudden, wracking cramp gripped her belly, forcing her slowly to her crouch.
She could barely hold on for a few seconds before she collapsed heavily to the floor, losing consciousness.
Outside, Chen Tian, narrowing his eyes as he watched the scene, was utterly stunned. He hurriedly stepped back inside the room to take a look.
Just moments ago, this woman had been acting like she owned the world; how had she passed out all of a sudden?
Closing his eyes and gathering his focus, he immediately channeled his spiritual qi for diagnosis!
After a thorough examination, Chen Tian discovered that the woman’s chronic ailment had worsened significantly. A crucial artery was blocked, triggering her fainting spell.
He was about to help her up when her venomous words echoed in his ears once more.
A surge of anger boiled inside him. He hadn't harbored any improper thoughts, nor had he chosen to enter this room.
The crux of the matter was that he couldn't even remember how he'd gotten in here!
Now it was a case of he said, she said, and he couldn't clear his name.
He desperately wanted to just walk away, but if he left now with no one else to save her, there was no guarantee she would ever wake up.
Hesitating, Chen Tian let out a sigh.
"Forget it, forget it. For Elder Su's sake, I'll spare your life. Don't think that just because you're pretty, you can run wild."
Chen Tian carried Su Wanyue straight over to the bed.
Her condition wasn't difficult to resolve; he just needed to use silver needles to dredge her meridians, and she would recover completely.
However, Chen Tian wasn't carrying any silver needles.
Suddenly, he recalled that the *Supreme Divine Physician Codex* contained a technique known as the Ghost Hand, which meant using the hand in place of a needle.
An ordinary person's hand certainly wouldn't do; the Ghost Hand mentioned in the text involved utilizing spiritual qi to transform the fingers into needles.
Chen Tian already had a certain grasp of the ambient spiritual qi he could absorb into his body.
He immediately put the technique to use, but then a problem arose.
His spiritually transformed needles were simply too weak; through her clothing, he couldn't apply them at all.
"Damn it, I'm saving your life. What's wrong with taking a look? It'd be a waste not to look."
*Swish!*
Su Wanyue's incomparably alluring body was once more laid bare in all its true glory.
"Holy crap, so pale and fair! This is seriously going to ruin my reaction time and make it impossible to concentrate!"
To be precise, his concentration was intense—every ounce of it was devoted to appreciating Su Wanyue's graceful, curvaceous body.
He shook his head, forcing himself back into a life-saving frame of mind.
Transforming his index finger into a needle, he placed it precisely upon Su Wanyue's Huiyin acupoint.
Closing his eyes, he began to condense the invisible spiritual qi concealed within his body.
It was as if a layer of white mist were hovering over his fingertips, piercing through her pores like biting ice crossing an ocean.
Chen Tian slid his finger along the path of the meridians. Wherever Su Wanyue's meridians were obstructed, the blood clots reacted like iron filings encountering a lodestone, beginning to flow smoothly in their wake.
Within a short moment, Chen Tian was already drenched in sweat.
Driving his spiritual qi, he cleared the blood clots from over a dozen of her acupoints, dispersing them into the vessel walls to be expelled via menstruation.
"Hoo……"
Chen Tian let out a heavy breath, his entire body soaked through with perspiration.
Wiping away the sweat, he prepared to leave!
Yet before he could even shift his feet, he felt his body lighten as someone threw their arms around his waist from behind.
Su Wanyue woke up remarkably fast. He had only just finished dredging her blocked meridians—how was she already awake?
No, wait, why was she still hugging him?
Chen Tian looked back and discovered that Su Wanyue's cheeks were flushed crimson, her body as hot as a furnace.
"Don't go, don't go……"
*Gulp!*
Chen Tian couldn't help but swallow hard.
What on earth was wrong with this woman, losing her mind like this?
"Don't go, I, I, I want……"
"What else could you possibly want?" Chen Tian asked.
"I want, I want, I want a man!" Su Wanyue clung to Chen Tian, refusing to let go as if she had been bewitched.
"What the hell? This woman?"
This woman who lived up in the clouds, as cold and frosty as ice, was actually being this proactive right now?
Her body was practically more flexible than a snake's, desperate to twine herself around Chen Tian.
Where could Chen Tian's fragile heart withstand this kind of assault?
"A man, I want a man……"
Su Wanyue's hands groped everywhere across Chen Tian's body.
"Hiss……"
Chen Tian felt himself ignited in a single instant.
Yet Su Wanyue had been cursing him out bitterly just moments ago; this didn't look like normal behavior at all!
At this thought, Chen Tian caught her wrist to check her pulse. Her pulse was beating with frantic wildness, and her heart rate was ridiculously fast.
Based on Chen Tian's medical experience, this woman had definitely been poisoned.
Most aphrodisiacs were synthesized from hormones.
The dosage must have been far too strong, accelerating Su Wanyue's entire metabolic system and causing that already perilous chronic condition of hers to erupt completely.
Thinking of this, Chen Tian became even more baffled and perplexed.
Who on earth had Su Wanyue gone out to see to end up in this state?
"A man, I want a man……"
Su Wanyue was completely possessed,
continually strumming every single nerve in Chen Tian's brain.
At this moment, she was as graceful and alluring as a lotus emerging from the water, her virtually flawless face suffused with a tender blush.
Especially in her current frenzied state, almost no man could resist her.
To win such a woman—what more could a husband ask for in this lifetime!
Yet she also resembled a pristine mountain snows, a celestial fairy of the heavens, sacred and inviolable.
Right now, however, she was truly and tangibly before Chen Tian, within easy reach.
Chen Tian felt as though his battle lines were suddenly ablaze with the fires of war across the board, not far from total defeat.
Chapter 12: Artificial Respiration
Just as Chen Tian was losing his ability to resist,
Su Wanyue's icy words rang out in his mind once more:
"We are not people of the same world!"
"I'd rather marry Wu Shaojie than marry you!"
"You aren't worthy!"
His boiling heart felt as though someone had tossed a block of ice into boiling water.
Forget it, forget it. Since they were not meant to be, from this moment on they owed each other nothing.
Chen Tian stopped letting his mind wander. Once again transforming his index finger into a needle, he pressed down heavily on a certain spot, driving a surge of qi into her pores.
Before long, her whole body began to sweat, the perspiration turning a pale, terrifying shade of green.
Very quickly, the restless Su Wanyue calmed down, and the expression on her face returned to its glamorous, rosily flushed state.
By now, day was already breaking. Chen Tian had no desire to linger any longer in Su Wanyue's room, lest he give rise to even more misunderstandings.
Yet, never in his wildest dreams did Chen Tian expect that the moment he pulled open the bedroom door, he would be greeted by two ferocious faces.
Standing right at the doorway were Su Wanyue's father and older brother.
"Chen Tian, you bastard! The Su Family treats you well, yet how dare you defile my daughter!"
"Somebody come! Someone help! I'm going to kill Chen Tian."
Su Yunping chimed in:
"Dad, stop him, I'll go call the police. He raped my sister—I'll make this animal rot in prison until the day he dies."
Chen Tian's head began to buzz.
Last night, Elder Su had pulled him in to drink, and afterwards he had no recollection whatsoever of how he ended up in Su Wanyue's room.
Just a moment ago, seeing Su Wanyue treat him with such cold detachment, Chen Tian had already lost all interest.
Yet at this moment, these two father-and-son figures had arrived so punctually, as if it had all been premeditated.
Chen Tian burst out laughing in an instant.
"Heh, heh, heh. I used to think the Su Family was upright and righteous, but it turns out you're all petty villains."
"If I'd known you were going to deliberately frame me and throw me in prison, I shouldn't have saved Su Wanyue at all—I should have let her rot to death on her own."
"Hmph! You've defiled my daughter's purity; you're dead for sure."
"Someone come quick! Block Chen Tian off, don't let him escape."
Su Qingguo, on the other hand, was secretly overjoyed; he could finally kick away this stumbling block.
He had assumed that yesterday's visit from the Wu Family to arrange the engagement was a done deal.
When Elder Su woke up and saw the current situation of the Su Family, he would have no choice but to quietly accept Su Wanyue marrying the young master of the Wu Family.
His calculations had been meticulously precise.
Yet Chen Tian had popped up halfway through, causing the Wu Family to misunderstand.
Last night, seeing his daughter head out, he had sent people to tail her the entire way.
So naturally, he was crystal clear on Su Wanyue's whereabouts.
He simply hadn't expected that a father and a grandfather could come up with the exact same idea.
Su Qingguo had wanted Wu Shaojie to swoop in and reap the benefits by violating Su Wanyue first, leaving her with no choice but to marry him.
However, Su Wanyue had been too guarded, and his plan hadn't succeeded.
Yet Elder Su had gone ahead and sent Chen Tian straight into Su Wanyue's room early on.
In a way, Su Qingguo had been waiting outside the door for quite some time.
Once Chen Tian defiled Su Wanyue, prison time would be unavoidable.
Even if Elder Su wanted to protect him, the opportunity would no longer exist.
Without Chen Tian in the picture, his plans could continue moving forward.
Chen Tian's eyes were bloodshot. Seeing the crowd swelling around him, he knew that if he didn't show some resolve right now, he would never clear his name and would inevitably be framed by the Su Family.
At that thought, he clenched his fists and charged forward like an enraged bull.
*Bang……*
He slammed his head straight into Su Qingguo's face, sending a gush of blood streaming all over Su Qingguo's face.
"Ah! Chen Tian, I'll kill you..."
Su Qingguo was driven nearly out of his mind with rage.
Seeing this, Chen Tian couldn't help but be startled as well.
With no time to overthink, he violently shoved several people aside and bolted at a dead run.
Behind him, the crowd stared blankly at Chen Tian's retreating figure.
He was too fast.
So fast that before they could even react, Chen Tian had already sprinted out the door.
After running wildly for a while, Chen Tian was completely exhausted.
Looking back and seeing that no one was pursuing him, he squatted down by the roadside to rest for a moment.
He didn't know what on earth had happened, but he could guess a thing or two.
It was highly likely that Su Qingguo had seized the opportunity to retaliate against his own daughter while conveniently framing him for a prison sentence.
Even a fierce tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs, but Su Qingguo was truly ruthless when it came to targeting his own daughter.
After resting for a little while, Chen Tian felt a wave of despair. He hadn't done anything to Su Wanyue—how could he just let them frame him?
He had to figure out a way to save himself!
After a long while, seeing that no one had followed him, Chen Tian let out a breath of relief.
He strolled aimlessly through the streets of the affluent district, his mind a blank slate.
Just then, he suddenly heard someone shouting not far away:
"Help! Someone save me! Quick, save my daughter!"
Following the sound, Chen Tian rushed over to a bridge and saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses shouting at the top of his lungs.
"What happened?" Chen Tian asked.
The middle-aged man hurriedly grabbed Chen Tian, his voice tight with tension:
"Young man, can you swim? Please save my daughter, my daughter jumped into the river!"
"What?!" Chen Tian was utterly astonished.
He glanced down beneath the bridge, a trace of fear gripping his heart.
The bridge was at least twenty meters high, and down below was a massive, roaring river.
Vaguely, he could make out a white figure being swept away by the fierce currents.
Saving lives came first!
If he didn't act now, it would be too late!
Gritting his teeth, Chen Tian set down his phone, took a flying leap, and plunged over the edge.
The middle-aged man was startled, his eyes instantly filling with gratitude as he silently squeezed his hands for Chen Tian.
*Plop……*
The massive impact felt as though countless knives were slicing across Chen Tian's face.
His body sank deeper and deeper into the water; the current below was so violent that human strength felt utterly fragile and insignificant within it.
Chen Tian struggled for a long time without managing to break the surface, feeling as though he was about to suffocate.
Just then, he felt something pulsing across his forehead, and in an instant, his entire body was refilled with an inexhaustible surge of strength.
*Whoosh……*
With a flick of his hands, he suddenly maneuvered through the water with the effortless ease of a fish.
At this moment of life-or-death struggle, he had actually absorbed the spiritual qi from the riverbed, and every single one of his extraordinary meridians felt flooded with infinite power.
Meanwhile, fueled by the middle-aged man's endless shouts, the bridgehead was now packed with a dense crowd of onlookers.
Every single one of them was staring fixedly down at the water.
"A young man just jumped in without a second thought—how brave! Such a high bridge, just looking at it is terrifying!"
"Tsk, this is the Villain's Abyss! I hear nobody who falls in here ever comes out alive."
"When they built this bridge, it created a massive whirlpool right here. Human strength can never break free from it."
"What a pity. That girl who jumped was in the bloom of youth, and the young man who went to save her is just a kid, too."
Hearing the crowd murmur back and forth, the middle-aged man felt completely crushed.
He had been too panicked earlier, thinking only of saving his daughter, and had completely forgotten how treacherous the waters below were.
Hadn't he just pointlessly cost this young man his life?
"Look! Look over there! That girl in white is still spinning around in the whirlpool, it looks like she's already..."
"Sigh, that young lad's been down there for three minutes now. Chances are he's already been dragged to the bottom of the river by the vortex."
The people on the bridge began to sigh in lament.
When someone committed suicide by jumping, people only felt a passing pity.
Yet when a hero died trying to save them, it was enough to bring tears to one's eyes.
However, just as the densely packed crowd on the bridge assumed both of them were already dead,
they suddenly noticed that the girl trapped in the vortex had stopped spinning.
Even more miraculously, she was slowly floating to the surface, and the violent churning waves seemed unable to drag her down anymore.
"What's going on here?"
"Yeah, looks like something's propping the girl up from underneath?"
As they watched with bated breath, the girl finally broke the surface.
It was only then that they caught sight of a hand.
"Look! Look, that young man is fine!"
"Holy crap, are you kidding me? He didn't die from that?!"
Those standing closer could even see that while Chen Tian was supporting the girl, his lips were pressed directly against hers.
When Chen Tian had reached the girl, she was already at her last gasp.
He was using his own meager reserve of oxygen to save her life.
Moreover, he discovered that as the spiritual qi dispersed throughout his body, it seemed capable of supplying oxygen directly to all his cells.
His diving capacity beneath the water vastly exceeded that of an ordinary person.
Now that the girl had surfaced, he put all his remaining strength into swimming straight toward the bank.
"Hang in there!"
"Keep going!"
"You can make it!"
The onlookers on the bridge watched with tear-filled eyes, never expecting someone so fiercely brave to exist.
He had actually managed to rescue her, shattering the curse of the Villain's Abyss.
"My daughter is saved! He actually saved my daughter!"
The middle-aged man's eyes were wet with tears as well.
Even as her biological father, he wouldn't have dared to jump into the Villain's Abyss!
Yet a complete stranger of a young man had saved his daughter!
Once ashore, the girl remained lifeless.
As a doctor, Chen Tian was deeply familiar with emergency resuscitation methods.
Without a moment's hesitation, he compressed her lungs to expel the accumulated water, then began administering artificial respiration.
The instant their lips touched, Chen Tian felt an electric jolt shoot through him.
Soft, delicate, though somewhat cold.
He had never even kissed Zhang Qian.
The sensation was simply out of this world!
No, wait, what on earth was he thinking right now!
Saving lives came first!
Yet beneath those alluring, cherry-red lips, it was impossible not to let one's imagination run wild!
Chen Tian felt as though he had just plummeted into an ice cellar, only to be instantly consumed by a raging fire.
Chapter 13: Chen Tian is Arrested
While Chen Tian's mind was wandering, he suddenly noticed the pair of eyes beneath his own flicker open.
"Ah……"
The girl let out a sharp shriek, trying to push Chen Tian away!
Yet having just woken from near-drowning, she hadn't recovered her strength yet.
Chen Tian awkwardly propped himself up, scratched his head, and said,
"Don't misunderstand, I was giving you artificial respiration."
Shifting his gaze to sweep over the girl's entire body, his eyes suddenly widened even further.
The girl was wearing a white dress, and that cicada-wing-thin fabric had turned entirely transparent now that it was soaked through.
Curves in all the right places!
Her alluring figure stood out in sharp relief before him, and the visual impact was so intense that Chen Tian couldn't help swallowing hard.
His gaze drifted downward, noticing that the hem of the girl's dress was torn as well, leaving her slender jade legs fully exposed.
As clean and pure as white jade, you couldn't find so much as a single blemish on them.
Two rounded, smooth thighs were also laid bare, leading the eye straight toward a mysterious world.
Chen Tian felt as though a nosebleed was about to burst out of him!
While he was still dazed, the girl suddenly raised her hand and slapped him across the face.
A burning sting!
Immediately afterward, the girl burst into tears:
"Why did you save me? Why did you have to save me? Sob, Mother! I want to see my Mother!"
"This……"
Chen Tian was momentarily dazed, completely at a loss for how to respond.
At that moment, the middle-aged man hurried down with two other people, looking ready to drop to his knees right then and there.
Due to his status, however, he simply gripped Chen Tian's hand tightly, trembling with emotion:
"Young brother, you are incredible! Thank you for saving my daughter. I, Huang Zhonghu, will never forget your kindness for the rest of my life!"
"Huang Zhonghu?"
Chen Tian froze for a second. The name sounded vaguely familiar, but he couldn't place it right away.
"It's nothing, just a minor effort. Since your daughter is fine, I'll be leaving." Chen Tian waved a hand.
"Don't go, don't go!" Huang Zhonghu hurriedly blocked Chen Tian's path. "You've bestowed such a massive kindness upon me, and I don't even know your name—how am I supposed to repay you?"
"Uh, my name is Chen Tian. No need for repayment; saving people is an instinctive duty for a doctor."
Hearing this, Huang Zhonghu looked somewhat surprised!
"I never expected you to be a doctor. My daughter must be truly lucky—no wonder you were able to revive her so quickly."
With a solemn expression, Chen Tian said:
"Although I don't know what your daughter has been through, judging by her appearance, she seems to have suffered from depression for a long time and has some mental issues. You should really talk her through it and guide her properly."
With that, ignoring Huang Zhonghu's attempts to make him stay, he strode away in a dashing manner.
Of course, he hadn't forgotten that the Su Family was still hunting him down.
With so many eyes about, he might already be exposed, and if he didn't run now, he wouldn't be able to get away at all.
Huang Zhonghu had no choice but to drop the matter. He turned to the men beside him and ordered:
"Go find out where this young brother lives. I want to pay him a personal visit to express my gratitude; if it weren't for him, I'd be watching my precious daughter die today."
"And as for the guards and maids at home, interrogate every single one of them. How were they keeping watch over the young miss?"
"Yes, Mayor. We'll get right on it."
