Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 281 Therapist
When Ning Xuan looked up and saw Ying Yaoshi, she couldn't help but catch her breath.

The man standing against the light had shoulders as straight as a sword's edge, and his dark military uniform was crisp and stylish, making his broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted inverted triangle figure stand out.

A golden serpent embroidered on the cuff is coiled, its scales gleaming coldly in the light, its upright golden eyes bloodthirsty and fierce, as if it wants to devour its prey.

Ying Yaoshi's once sharp and angular face had lost its casual and relaxed demeanor. His eyes, beneath his sword-like eyebrows, were cold and serious, with what seemed like icy shards deep within his pupils.

He raised his hand to straighten his sleeves and looked at Ning Xuan.

“Xuanxuan, I understand what you just said. As long as you give me some face in front of others, I have no objection to following your rules at other times.” Ying Yaoshi reached out to pull Ning Xuan.

Ning Xuan didn't shake him off, staring at his neck.

The restraining ring that Ning Xuan had just put on Ying Yaoshi was faintly visible under the collar of his military uniform, giving it a somewhat taboo feel.

Under Ning Xuan's gaze, Ying Yaoshi touched the restraint ring and bowed slightly in Ning Xuan's direction. "I have to go to a meeting. I'd like to introduce you to a few people while I'm at it. Could you take this off for now?"

Ying Yaoshi asked humbly.

“Okay.” Ning Xuan pursed her lips and took the restraining ring off for him.

Ning Xuan's fingers touched Ying Yaoshi's arm, and she could feel the muscles lurking beneath his clothes, full of explosive power. Ning Xuan couldn't help but pinch them.

Ying Yaoshi's silver collar buttoned up his bobbing Adam's apple, and a faint, irregular scar ran across his fair skin, the source of which was unknown.

Ning Xuan linked arms with Ying Yaoshi, and the two walked out of Ying Yaoshi's residence.

Ying Yaoshi's military boots clattered on the floor, and the soldiers on both sides of the corridor stood ramrod straight, raising their hands in salute to him. His profile, backlit by the light, was edged with gold, and the shadow cast by his nose divided his face into light and shadow, like a drawn sword standing upright between heaven and earth.

As the two walked, soldiers greeted them with military salutes wherever they went. In this solemn and imposing military camp, Ning Xuan's expression unconsciously became serious as well.

Ying Yaoshi was to attend a post-war debriefing meeting to review the battlefield situation, response strategies, and whether there were any better strategic plans.

Those attending the meeting were all mid- to high-ranking officers who had participated in the war. After the debriefing, they summarized the manpower losses in this battle.

"Shen Shiyi's mutation has spiraled out of control. He's been sent to a field hospital, and the doctors are trying to save him. They just sent a message saying he might not make it," an officer said sadly.

Everyone else also looked grief-stricken.

Shen Shiyi was a high-ranking military officer with an SSS-level mental strength and a distinguished military record. Those present were his colleagues of many years, and upon hearing the news, they could not hide their grief.

"Xuanxuan, can you go and take a look?" Ying Yaoshi suddenly asked.

Everyone else in the room looked at Ning Xuan.

“I can try.” Ning Xuan nodded. Actually, Ying Yaoshi asked this question because Ning Xuan kept giving him meaningful glances. He understood what Ning Xuan meant and asked the question accordingly.

"Let me introduce you all. This is my sworn mistress, Ning Xuan, Miss Ning. Yan Fuzhen went to her side a year ago."

"She just awakened a year ago and was promoted to SS-level controller a few days ago." Since everyone attending the meeting was Ying Yaoshi's confidant, Ying Yaoshi did not hide anything and introduced her to the others.

Upon hearing this, the other generals all stood up and saluted Ning Xuan.

"The doctors at the field hospital have run out of options, so you can give it a try. Don't put too much pressure on yourself," Ying Yaoshi said in advance. The doctors who can oversee the overall treatment at the field hospital are all of high mental strength and have extensive experience in treating patients. If they say they can't cure the patient, it's very likely that there's no hope.

Ning Xuan nodded, signaling them to lead the way, and the group headed towards the field hospital in a grand procession.

The field hospital was bustling with activity. A battle had just ended, leaving countless wounded. Everyone was incredibly busy. When Ying Yaoshi and his entourage arrived at the hospital, they were all important figures rarely seen in public, attracting a lot of attention along the way.

Ning Xuan has treated many spirit controllers whose mental energy has surged or whose mutation values ​​have gone out of control. She has also volunteered at the Controller Protection Association, where she was responsible for an entire floor of patients. However, the patient she is about to treat is a powerful SSS-level mental energy level expert. She is not very confident in treating spirit controllers of this level.

However, in that somber atmosphere, she didn't think much of it and decided to give it a try.

After explaining their purpose to the hospital staff, they were led to the top floor of the hospital, the third floor. Before they even got close to the floor, they heard the roar of a wild beast.

The sound was shrill and painful, and the nurses in the hospital all showed expressions of horror. The emergency lights in the corridor crackled overhead, and the blue and white light made the scratch marks on the isolation and explosion-proof door exceptionally clear.

Feeling the surging energy around them, Ying Yaoshi pulled Ning Xuan behind him with a serious expression. Shen Shiyi's condition was even more serious than they had been told. Judging from the surging energy in the air, he had probably been completely mutated.

"Xuanxuan, there's no need to try." Ying Yaoshi felt it was pointless and didn't want Ningxuan to take the risk.

"Step back!" Ying Yaoshi grabbed Ning Xuan's arm, preventing her from getting any closer.

At that moment, a muffled thud came from inside the isolation door of the second room on the third floor, and the entire metal door visibly bulged outward.

Ning Xuan saw that there were broken pieces of metal on the edge of the door, as well as some claw marks that were deeply embedded in the steel plate—three marks in a group, the longest of which was more than 20 centimeters long.

A piercing alarm blared, and amidst a metallic tearing sound, claws covered in blue scales emerged from inside the door.

Ying Yaoshi tensed up, assuming an attack stance. Ning Xuan patted him, released her spiritual power, and at the same time, activated the Vermilion Bird between her brows. With a clear bird cry, the fiery red Vermilion Bird flew out of Ning Xuan's body and spewed flames at the creature inside the door.

The claw recoiled as if it had been burned.

Ning Xuan's immense spiritual power penetrated into the isolation door. She could sense a powerful and chaotic spiritual force, which was surrounded by a thick black substance, completely enveloping her.

Ning Xuan first used her mental energy to soothe the person, then wrapped the mental energy soothing potion and the mutation removal potion she had refined in vines and sent them into the isolation door, where she forced the person to drink the potion.

The shrill roars subsided, and the raging energy gradually calmed down. The officers who had come with him watched the isolation door nervously. They had known Shen Shiyi for many years and could sense that his condition seemed to be improving.
