My Amazing WeChat is Connected to the Three Realms - Chapter 32

“Director Du, who exactly can save my father?” Peng Tao asked, his voice filled with urgency.

“That young man I just introduced you to—Lin Hai,” Du Chun replied.

“Lin Hai?” Peng Tao was stunned.

He had expected Du Chun to mention some highly respected medical expert, someone he could immediately go and seek out. But to his surprise, it was the young college student he had just met.

His father’s condition had stumped medical experts from around the world. How could a kid in his early twenties possibly have the solution?

“Director Du, even if you can’t think of a way to save my father, I won’t blame you. His condition is indeed strange. But you don’t have to brush me off with a student, do you?”

Du Chun chuckled. “Peng, let me tell you, this young man is anything but ordinary.”

Du Chun then recounted how Lin Hai had miraculously saved both “Baldy Qiang” and Liu Shan, leaving out no details.

“Wait, is this for real?” Peng Tao was dumbfounded. It sounded more like a story than reality.

“Absolutely true. In fact, I’ve even considered asking him to take me on as his student. But it seems he’s not too keen on the idea,” Du Chun said, shaking his head in disappointment.

“What?! You, a renowned medical expert, want to become the student of a twenty-year-old?”

Peng Tao was even more shocked now.

Who was Du Chun? He was the deputy director of the Chinese Medical Association and one of the top experts in neurology. And he wanted to apprentice under a college student? If this got out, the entire medical community would be in an uproar.

“I’ll go and ask him myself,” Peng Tao said. Though he was still half-skeptical, he couldn’t afford to pass up any chance to save his father.

Meanwhile, in the underworld, King Chu Jiang paced back and forth in his grand hall, his hands clasped behind his back.

The ox-headed and horse-faced guards below stood stiffly, not daring to make a sound.

“Another case of the Golden Needle Soul Revival! And this time, there’s even the presence of medicinal energy. What on earth is going on?”

“Your Majesty, the Golden Needle Soul Revival technique has been lost to the mortal world since Iron Crutch Li ascended to immortality. As for alchemy, no one has mastered it since Li Si of the Qin Dynasty. Are you sure you’re not mistaken?” The ox-headed guard ventured cautiously.

“Impossible!” King Chu Jiang waved his hand dismissively. “I left a mark on Liner. I know everything that happens to her. There’s no mistake.”

“Then this is truly baffling,” the ox-headed and horse-faced guards exchanged puzzled looks.

“Enough. You may leave,” King Chu Jiang said irritably, waving them off.

“This matter must be investigated thoroughly!”

Back in Jiangnan City, Chu Liner floated above the city, her lips pouting in frustration.

“I’m so annoyed! I should’ve never taken on this soul-reaping job. It’s so boring!”

“Ugh, it’s all so dark here. Even darker than the underworld.”

Just then, her phone buzzed. It was a message from King Chu Jiang.

“Father,” Chu Liner answered, holding a clunky old phone.

“Father, I don’t want to be a soul reaper anymore. It’s so boring and frustrating. I can’t even see the human world properly. It’s no fun at all,” she whined.

“Fine, you don’t have to do it anymore,” King Chu Jiang replied.

Ding!

A notification popped up: Chu Liner’s mission has failed. Soul Reaper status revoked.

“Thank you, Father!” Chu Liner cheered, her spirits lifting instantly.

Suddenly, her vision brightened. The bustling streets, towering skyscrapers, and lively crowds came into view.

Freed from the constraints of her soul-reaping duties, Chu Liner’s cultivation level surged, jumping from the early Xiantian stage to the early Ghost Immortal stage.

“Wow, the human world is so beautiful!” Chu Liner was captivated, her eyes darting around in wonder.

“Father, why do soul reapers have their vision blocked when they’re on missions? The human world is a thousand times more beautiful than the underworld. Why not let everyone see it?”

“Silly child, soul reapers aren’t here for sightseeing. Blocking their vision ensures they only see the souls of the dying. It prevents them from abusing their power and harming mortals.”

“Oh,” Chu Liner nodded, though she didn’t fully understand.

“Father, can I stay a little longer? Just an hour?” Chu Liner knew that underworld beings weren’t allowed to linger in the human world, but she couldn’t bear to leave this beautiful place.

“Actually, you don’t have to return to the underworld just yet. Stay in the human world and help me investigate something.”

“What is it?”

“The reappearance of the Golden Needle Soul Revival technique and the emergence of immortal-grade medicine. I need to know what’s going on!”

At the mention of this, Chu Liner’s nose wrinkled in annoyance.

“Don’t worry, Father. I’ll get to the bottom of it!”

After a moment, she sent another message, her tone more hesitant. “Father, what about the other uncles and aunts in the underworld? Won’t they mind if I stay away for so long?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll handle them.”

“Yes! Freedom!” Chu Liner’s eyes sparkled with joy.

Meanwhile, Lin Hai lay in his car, holding the ancient painting that seemed to have magical properties. It was slowly healing his soul.

The soul damage from the recent needle treatment wasn’t severe, and he was already feeling much better.

Ding!

His phone buzzed. It was a message from Golden Flower Boy, who had sent him three more pills.

Golden Flower Boy: Take one every seven days.

Lin Hai thanked him and closed his eyes again, continuing to rest.

Ding!

Another message.

Liu Xinyue: “Lin Hai, where are you?”

Lin Hai: “Downstairs, in my car.”

A few minutes later, Liu Xinyue emerged from the hospital building and spotted Lin Hai’s car. She opened the door and slid into the passenger seat.

“Is your father settled in?” Lin Hai asked.

“Yes,” Liu Xinyue replied, her face flushed with embarrassment. She seemed unusually shy.

“Lin Hai, thank you.”

“Hey, no need to thank me. If you really want to—”

Before he could finish, Liu Xinyue suddenly threw her arms around his neck and pressed her soft, warm lips against his.

Lin Hai’s eyes shot open, and a jolt of electricity seemed to surge through his body. His entire frame stiffened.

Is this what kissing feels like? It’s… incredible!

Lin Hai had been in a relationship with Wang Ting for nearly a year, but they had never gone beyond holding hands. This was his first real kiss.

Hell, if there’s an opportunity, take it!

Lin Hai wrapped his arms around Liu Xinyue, his tongue boldly exploring her sweet mouth.

Knock, knock, knock!

Someone was tapping on the car window.

“Ah!” Liu Xinyue gasped, quickly pulling away and smoothing her disheveled clothes.

“Damn it! Who the hell is it?!” Lin Hai was furious.

If this person doesn’t have a damn good reason for interrupting, I’m going to lose it!

He slammed the car door open and glared at the intruder.

“Huh?” Peng Tao looked confused. Lin Hai had been fine just moments ago, but now he looked ready to kill.

“What do you want?” Lin Hai snapped, his tone sharp.

Realizing it was Peng Tao, Lin Hai grew even more annoyed. You’re the police chief, and you’re out here policing people’s private moments? I didn’t even get to finish!

If Peng Tao weren’t the police chief, Lin Hai would’ve kicked him already.

Peng Tao finally noticed Liu Xinyue in the car, her face still flushed and her head bowed in embarrassment. He immediately understood what he had interrupted.

No wonder he’s so angry. I just ruined his moment.

“Uh, Lin Hai, I heard from Director Du that you have a talent for healing?”

“Yeah, so what?”

“Could you… take a look at my father?”

“No. I’m busy.”

Slam!

Lin Hai shut the car door.
