Chapter 1028: All are prosperous, and all suffer when one loses
Upon hearing this, everyone stared in shock, their eyes wide with disbelief.
She was willing to give her life without hesitation for the one she loved.
Bai Du Shou's mouth dropped open, his feigned seriousness completely replaced by emotion. He murmured, "Truly...deeply moving..."
Wen Xiaoman stepped forward, looking at Bai Dushou with a determined gaze, "Mr. Bai Dushou, please take it now. Tell me how you want it done, and I will fully cooperate with you."
Now it was Hundred Poison Hands' turn to hesitate.
He stammered, "No, no... Miss Wen, don't you need to think about it again? This concerns your life!"
Wen Xiaoman shook her head: "No need to think about it. Si Nian has been tormented by this poison for so many years, living a life worse than death. Now we finally have a new way to help him prolong his life, but we only need a medicinal catalyst. I want to help him."
Looking at her resolute expression, Bai Dushou couldn't help but twitch his lips, trying to awaken her with familial affection: "But, don't you even care about your own son, Xiao Ayan? He's still so young."
Mentioning Xiao Ayan, Wen Xiaoman felt a pang of pain in her heart.
She lowered her head, her voice filled with guilt: "I'm sorry for Xiao Ayan, I couldn't be there for him as he grew up, I'm not worthy of being a mother..."
After saying that, she looked up at the four little ones beside her and pleaded, "However, I'm not worried because you four older brothers love Xiao Ayan. From now on, I'll have to trouble you to take good care of Xiao Ayan for me..."
Her tone was as if she were giving her last words.
Bai Dushou looked at Wen Xiaoman, then at the four young masters beside him who were glaring at him angrily because of the scene, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond. He even felt a little annoyed, thinking that he had gone too far with the joke...
Seeing this, the four little ones could no longer hold back.
Erbao was the first to jump out, pointing at Bai Dushou and shouting angrily, "Bai Dushou, what time is it, and you still want to scare Aunt Xiaoman!"
Sanbao chimed in, "That's right, Aunt Xiaoman is simple-minded and easily frightened."
Sibao: "Besides, Aunt Xiaoman's feelings for Uncle Sinian are as clear as day and night, we all know it, so what else is there to test?"
Although Da Bao didn't say anything, his disapproving look said it all.
Bai Du Shou looked embarrassed and quickly bowed, begging for forgiveness: "Yes, yes, it's my fault. I didn't think things through and took the joke too far, scaring Miss Wen..."
Wen Xiaoman was completely stunned by this sudden reversal, blinking her eyes blankly: "What...what are you talking about? What kind of test?"
At this moment, Da Bao stepped forward and explained to her, "Aunt Xiao Man, don't be afraid. The Hundred Poison Hand was just joking with you. The prescription for the antidote to Uncle Si Nian does require a special ingredient, which is a drop of the heart's blood of a loved one. However, there is a special method for obtaining this blood. It will only make you weak for a while and will definitely not endanger your life."
He glanced at Bai Du Shou and continued, "He deliberately exaggerated the consequences to test whether you were willing to go to such lengths for Uncle Si Nian and offer your heart's blood."
Now, Wen Xiaoman understood everything.
So it turns out that the life-or-death decision I just made was a test.
Bai Dushou nodded repeatedly, forcing an awkward smile: "Yes, yes, that's exactly what the young master said."
After listening, Wen Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, then said, "You really scared me, but even if I really die, I will not regret my decision."
"Since I don't have to die, I'm naturally even happier. This way, I can spend more time with him and with our little Ayan."
Everyone nodded in unison.
Wen Xiaoman didn't delay any longer and looked at Bai Dushou, saying, "Mr. Bai Dushou, since you need my heart's blood, don't waste any more time. Come quickly and take mine."
Seeing her decisiveness, Bai Du Shou nodded solemnly, "Good, Miss Wen is very understanding. I admire you. I will go and prepare the necessary equipment and medicine for blood collection."
everything's ready.
Wen Xiaoping lay quietly on the hospital bed, calmly awaiting the upcoming surgery.
The surgeon also prepared the necessary surgical equipment.
Before taking action, Bai Du Shou looked at Wen Xiaoman and solemnly informed her, "Miss Wen, the process of taking heart blood cannot be done under anesthesia, otherwise it will affect the spirituality of the blood, so it will be a little painful, and you will need to bear with it."
"However, I'm very quick. It's just a minor, minimally invasive surgery. It will only leave a small incision on your chest. It will not damage your heart or really take your life. You can rest assured."
Wen Xiaoman lay there without any fear on her face. Instead, she gave him a reassuring smile and said, "Yes, I understand. I can do it. You don't need to worry about me. I'm not afraid of pain."
She paused, looking sincerely at Bai Dushou, "Moreover, I have absolute trust in your medical skills, Mr. Bai Dushou."
Hearing her say that, Bai Du Shou felt a little relieved.
He nodded, and just as he picked up his tools, his expression turned serious again.
“Miss Wen, there is one more thing, which is of utmost importance, that I must tell you before the blood is drawn.”
Wen Xiaoman: "You say it."
The Poison Master's expression was serious: "After taking your heart's blood as a medicinal ingredient, I will use it to refine something called the Twin Gu. Once this Gu is complete, it will enter both of your bodies. At that time... your fate and Mr. Qiao's will be intertwined. If he lives, you live; if he dies, you will also be implicated and your life will be in danger..."
Fearing that Wen Xiaoman might not understand, he explained again: "In other words, your lives will truly be intertwined, sharing both prosperity and adversity."
"Can you accept this...?"
However, after listening, Wen Xiaoman's eyes did not even show a ripple.
She nodded firmly, almost without hesitation, just as before: "Yes, I can accept it."
The eyes of the Hundred Poisons Hand trembled.
Before coming to find Wen Xiaoman, he had struggled internally about whether or not to look for her, and even considered other possible candidates.
But after careful consideration, Wen Xiaoman was the only and best choice.
Because the medicinal ingredient for the heart's blood must be a close and beloved person, and Qiao Sinian's parents are too old to be suitable candidates, the only other option is Wen Xiaoman.
He didn't even dare to tell the four protective young masters about the Twin Gu beforehand, and could only ask Wen Xiaoman for her opinion in private.
Now that he had received her affirmative answer, he had an idea in mind.
"Miss Wen, don't worry, I will definitely save Mr. Qiao's life."
Having made this promise, Bai Du Shou no longer hesitated. His eyes narrowed, he picked up the silver needle in his hand, and began to act.
