With three supreme masters, they were invincible upon descending the mountain.

"Bright moon?"

Li Yuxiu rushed to the bedside, grasped her daughter's hand, her fingertips trembling, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"She's awake...she's really awake..."

Ji Zheng rushed to the bedside, his voice trembling, "Mingyue, how are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"

As he asked, he pulled out his phone, "I'll call a doctor right now! I'll call the best doctor!"

The couple surrounded Ji Mingyue, so excited they were incoherent, while Ji Yun, standing to the side, was completely ignored by them.

Ji Yun stood at the door, her expression as fascinating as could be.

First came shock, then disbelief, and finally, a feeling of utter disgust, like swallowing a fly.

He stared intently at the awakened Ji Mingyue, his mind buzzing:

How is that possible?!

The poison given by the master was said to be incurable, wasn't it?

Wasn't it said that death was inevitable?!

He spent a whopping 50 million, and this is the result?!

"Second Uncle?"

Ji Mingyue's weak voice rang out.

She looked at Ji Yun, her eyes still somewhat confused: "What are you doing here?"

"I...I heard you woke up, so I came to see you." Ji Yun forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

The private medical team has arrived.

Three doctors in white coats and two nurses rushed in carrying a full set of equipment. When they saw the awakened Ji Mingyue, everyone froze on the spot.

"What are you all standing there for?" Ji Zheng roared. "Check it now!"

The doctors then realized what was happening.

All the examination equipment was put into use; almost everything brought was put to the test. As the procedure was completed, the lead doctor stared at the instrument screen, his eyes widening.

"This...how is this possible..."

"Doctor, how is my daughter?" Li Yuxiu asked anxiously.

The doctor looked up, his face filled with disbelief: "Congratulations! Miss's recovery is excellent!"

He pointed to the data on the screen:

"Aside from some physical weakness, all indicators are approaching normal, especially brainwave activity, which is even more active than before the coma!"

As he spoke, he himself began to realize how absurd it all seemed.

They had come to check on her a few days ago, when her vital signs were still declining. If it weren't for the faint brainwaves, they would have thought she was dead.

It could be said that Ji Mingyue had already stepped into the gates of hell at that time.

But now, it's simply a miracle.

There is no other explanation but a miracle.

Li Yuxiu covered her face and cried uncontrollably; this time, it was tears of joy.

Ji Zheng's eyes also reddened, and he kept saying, "Okay, okay."

When the family calmed down a bit and looked up again, Ji Yun was nowhere to be seen at the door.

After the medical staff left, the room became quiet.

Li Yuxiu turned around and grabbed Ye Yaocheng's hand.

"What a good son-in-law!"

Her eyes were still red, but her smile was radiant.

"You're truly our family's lucky star! Ever since you came, Mingyue has woken up! From now on, whatever you do, Mom will believe in you!"

Her hands were warm.

The trust in his tone was like a fireplace in winter, and Ye Yaocheng was taken aback.

In a corner of my heart, something gently touched me, and a warm current flowed through me.

This was the first time in eighteen years that he had experienced the feeling of being unconditionally trusted by his family.

Very strange.

But it was truly wonderful.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

"Alright, Yuxiu."

Ji Zheng interrupted with a cold face:

"The fact that Mingyue has woken up is a sign of good fortune and has nothing to do with this kid. Now that Mingyue has woken up, this farce of trying to bring good luck should come to an end."

He looked at Ye Yaocheng, his eyes filled with undisguised disgust:

"Once the news of Mingyue's recovery spreads, those previously quiet young talents will once again flock to our doorstep. Any one of them would be better than this penniless illegitimate son."

"At that time, our Ji family might even rise to a higher level."

His tone was so calm, as if he were talking about something perfectly normal.

Li Yuxiu's face instantly darkened.

"Ji Zheng, what do you mean?" She released Ye Yaocheng's hand and stood in front of him. "Are you planning to kick me while I'm down? Have you forgotten who said that as long as Mingyue could wake up, they would never make things difficult for Yaocheng?"

"That was..."

"Then explain why Mingyue woke up right after Yaocheng arrived, of all times, instead of earlier or later?"

Ji Zheng was speechless.

His face flushed red, and after a long pause, he finally managed to squeeze out, "Coincidence! Pure coincidence!"

"Coincidence?" Li Yuxiu sneered. "Then why didn't any of the renowned doctors and national experts you invited before have any coincidences?"

"you……!"

Ji Zheng pointed at Li Yuxiu, his finger trembling.

He never expected that his wife would publicly criticize him for a young boy who had only been there for half a day.

"Fine! Believe it or not!"

He flicked his sleeve fiercely:

"I'll see what this piece of trash can bring you!"

After saying that, he slammed the door and left, the door panel rattling loudly.

The room was awkwardly quiet.

"mom……"

Ji Mingyue, lying on the bed, spoke weakly:

"What are you arguing about?"

Li Yuxiu took a deep breath, turned around, and put on a gentle smile. She sat on the edge of the bed and briefly recounted what had just happened.

This includes Ye Yaocheng's attempt to gain favor, Ji Yun's provocation, and the miracle mentioned by the doctor.

Ji Mingyue listened quietly, her eyes calm.

After Li Yuxiu finished speaking, she nodded and said, "I understand, Mom. I want to rest for a while."

"Okay, okay, you rest! Mom will cook you some nourishing soup!"

Li Yuxiu got up, but turned back as she walked to the door: "Yaocheng, why don't you keep Mingyue company?"

The door closed gently.

Only two people remained in the room.

Ye Yaocheng walked to the bedside, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Eyes facing each other.

Ji Mingyue's eyes were beautiful, like two obsidian stones, clear and deep. Her face was pale and her lips were bloodless, but that sickly beauty made her even more endearing.

"I know the whole story."

Ji Mingyue spoke first, her voice soft yet clear:

"But we're not a good match."

Ye Yaocheng raised an eyebrow.

"I'm not targeting you personally, it's just that we're from different worlds. If we were to get together, it would bring you a lot of trouble."

She paused, then her tone became more direct:

"How about this, to make amends, name your price, ten million? Twenty million?"

Ye Yaocheng smiled.

It wasn't a mocking laugh; it was just genuinely funny.

"money?"

He leaned back and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest.

He really didn't care about that money. The true teachings of his three masters, even a small portion of which would be top-tier if placed outside, would be incredibly valuable. Earning ten or twenty million would be a piece of cake.

Ji Mingyue's eyes flickered slightly.

She scrutinized the other person closely, but for some reason, she always felt like she couldn't see through them.

Especially those eyes, they were so calm.

He was so calm, unlike a twenty-year-old.

Is he faking it, or does he genuinely not understand?

"As long as your mother agrees, that's fine." Ye Yaocheng stood up. "I don't want to upset her."

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

He paused at the door, but didn't turn around.

"Get some rest. The Yin Sha Poison has only been mostly neutralized; we'll have to do it a few more times."

The door closed.

Ji Mingyue remained frozen on the bed.

Yin Sha Poison?

How did he know?!

She abruptly closed her eyes, her consciousness sinking into her body. Sure enough, the chilling power near her heart meridian had dissipated by most, but some remained.

It's really solved!

She opened her eyes, her expression complex.

【Ding! 】

A clear female voice suddenly rang in my mind:

[Returning to host, it was Ye Yaocheng who saved you~]

"System?" Ji Mingyue asked in her mind, "Did you see what method he used?"

[I didn't see it clearly yet, but the aura emanating from Ye Yaocheng was terrifying. This system was extremely scared and immediately went into hibernation mode. If the host hadn't woken up, I would still be AFK~]

The system's voice sounded somewhat aggrieved.

Ji Mingyue fell silent.

She's been bound to this "Empress Development System" for three years now. Although she's still in the novice stage and can only sign in to receive small rewards every day, the system's built-in perception ability is very strong.

Who exactly is Ye Yaocheng, who can make even the system go into hibernation out of fear?

[Host, are you not discouraged?]

The system comforted me, saying, "As long as you sign in on time every day and accumulate luck points, you'll definitely become an empress someday! Then, this system will also benefit from your success, hehe~"

Ji Mingyue remained silent.

She leaned against the headboard and looked out the window.

Ye Yaocheng—this name sparked her curiosity for the first time.

Meanwhile, outside the corridor.

Ye Yaocheng leaned against the wall, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"system?"

He muttered to himself, "Interesting."

Just now in the room, he vaguely sensed some kind of special energy fluctuation within Ji Mingyue's body.

It was faint, but very special.

It doesn't resemble martial arts true qi, nor does it resemble magical spiritual power.

It's more like something at the level of rules.

"The three masters are right." He turned and left, his steps light and quick.

"Going down the mountain was indeed interesting."
