It turns out I'm a second-generation demon.

Fortunately, they quickly looked away and turned their attention back to the operating room.

Li Xianyu carefully observed them. The pretty girl with glasses was Murphy, the archives administrator. Li Xianyu had followed her because she often chatted in the group chat, and he had seen Murphy's photos in the album, so he recognized her at a glance.

She's prettier in person than in photos. These days, people, especially women, subconsciously add a beauty filter to their photos, and some even go so far as to use makeup and Photoshop, resulting in a phenomenon where beautiful women all look alike and are difficult to distinguish. This was the first time Li Xianyu had seen such a strikingly beautiful girl with glasses.

Then there's the beautiful woman with short, ear-length hair. If I'm not mistaken, she's Thunder Warrior, one of the few colleagues in the group who brought warmth to Li Xianyu.

Her title perfectly matches her image: short, neat hair; unlike the soft features of typical Eastern women, her features are striking, with a hint of mixed heritage, giving her a unique charm.

Unlike most Eastern women who have small breasts and flat buttocks, she had the figure of a graceful female leopard, with beautiful and flowing lines all over her body.

Li Xianyu silently compared Murphy and Thunder War Maiden in his mind. They each had their own unique temperament and appearance, and it would be difficult to judge them based on his own aesthetic sense, as that would seem arbitrary.

He had never had the chance to meet such a high-quality woman before.

The Bloodline Realm is indeed teeming with beauties; I've grown to like the Bloodline Realm again.

Then, he fixed his gaze on the little girl Tongtong. Not counting the photoshopped pictures of cute little girls online, Tongtong was probably the cutest and prettiest little girl he had ever seen in real life. She was exquisitely beautiful, with a delicate and slender figure.

She looked to be only about eight years old, and was standing on tiptoe, peering intently through the glass window at the operating room.

Li Xianyu didn't pay much attention to the loli; he glanced at her a few times and then looked away.

As for the last guy who was suspected to be the son of the Thunder King, Li Xianyu simply didn't look at him. He was nearly two meters tall, as strong as a bear, and had no aesthetic appeal whatsoever.

Finally, he looked towards the operating room. It was the first time he had witnessed surgery, and while the process was indeed bloody, it was also bizarre.

The man lying on the bed had his abdomen cut open, with the chief and assistant doctors intently performing the procedure. His head was covered in silver needles; the one inserting the needles was none other than Li Shizhen.

"His Holiness, what's wrong with him?" Li Xianyu asked in a low voice.

"You know him," the Thunder King sighed, "Li Bai, he was injured on a mission a few days ago."

"Holy crap, he really messed up?" Li Xianyu's eyes widened.

If you look through the group chat history from a few days ago, you can still find the scene where Li Bai made a fool of himself.

The Thunder King nodded, his expression grave: "We still don't know what happened to him. Colleagues at the Chang'an branch found him barely alive at the company entrance and immediately tried to save him. However, the branch's medical capabilities were limited, so he was sent back to headquarters that same day. He has been lying there ever since, and the surgery has been going on for a day and a night. His life is still hanging in the balance."

Murphy said, "The 'Five-Second True Man' drug was detected in his blood, suggesting that Li Bai took it to escape death. However, this drug has severe side effects, and combined with his injuries, the situation is not optimistic."

Thunder War Maiden: "His entire body was fractured, his dantian was destroyed, his heart was almost split in two, his meridians were severed throughout his body, and a copper bead was embedded in his skull. If it weren't for the ancient demon's genes supporting him, he would have died long ago."

The burly young man shook his head, looking dejected.

Everyone looked solemn and their expressions were heavy.

The operating room door opened, and Medical Director Hua Tuo, dressed in surgical scrubs with blood-stained gloves, said in a deep voice, "His life has been saved for now, but we can't say he's out of danger. He'll need 24-hour monitoring for a long time to come, and the four of us will take turns watching over him."

Hua Tuo was wearing surgical scrubs and a mask, so his appearance was obscured, but judging from his voice, he was an old man.

The four legendary doctors of Baoze Group are all old men, not even a middle-aged one. It turns out that the young doctors in novels are all lies.

Although he was mentally prepared, the Thunder King sighed and closed his eyes.

Thunder Maiden and Murphy lowered their heads slightly.

The little girl, Tongtong, choked back tears, saying, "Uncle Li Bai is so pitiful, you must get better..."

"Beep beep beep..."

The electrocardiogram, which normally fluctuates, suddenly becomes a straight line.

Everyone's expression changed drastically. The Thunder War Maiden beside her turned pale and reached out to cover her mouth, but it was too late.

"Hua Tuo, the patient is dying! Quickly, think of something!" Bian Que's alarmed voice came from the operating room.

Tongtong forcefully broke free from Thunder Warrior's grasp and burst into tears, large tears streaming down her face as she sobbed and hiccuped: "I didn't mean to, I couldn't control myself, I really miss Uncle Li Bai..."

Thunder King, Thunder War Maiden, Murphy, and the burly young man, four people with eight hands, slapped the little girl's face.

Tongtong made a "woo-woo" sound and struggled by shaking her head.

Everyone released their hands and made a shushing gesture to her with serious expressions.

The little girl's eyes were filled with tears, her dark eyes darting left and right, afraid to make a sound, looking utterly pitiful.

Li Xianyu: "???"

He looked completely bewildered, but seeing everyone's serious expressions, he suppressed his curiosity and didn't ask.

A few minutes later, Hua Tuo came out again, shaking his head dejectedly: "Just a few seconds ago, the wound suddenly ruptured extensively, and there was massive internal bleeding. He was already on his last breath, but now he's completely beyond saving. Get ready to post an obituary in the group chat."

Tongtong burst into tears again, her little face covered in tears and snot, her two little hands gripping the hem of her skirt tightly.

The Thunder Warriors and the others looked utterly sorrowful.

Baoze Group is a relatively new company. Because the boss rarely comes to the office and adopts a hands-off management style, many matters are handled and decided by the employees themselves. Therefore, the blood relatives have a good relationship and a strong sense of belonging.

Even King Kong (who is suspected to be the son of the Thunder King), who often bickers with Li Bai, had tears in his eyes.

Thunder War Maiden's eyes were red: "Is there really no other way? Should we contact the big boss and ask him to think of a solution?"

Murphy shook his head: "Even Hua Tuo couldn't do anything, so what can the big boss do? Don't think of the big boss as omnipotent."

The Thunder King opened his mouth, then sighed, "Vajra, let all the colleagues at the company come over so they can see Li Bai one last time."

He patted Tongtong's head again: "Wait for your punishment."

"Is he... dead or not?"

In the heavy atmosphere, Li Xianyu suddenly interjected from a corner.

Nobody was in the mood to talk to him.

Hua Tuo said, "The heartbeat has stopped, we've tried everything... we're not far from brain death."

My superpower is life regeneration, which can enhance cell activity and instantly bring the body back to its peak. But if a person dies, they are completely gone.

Li Xianyu hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "If he's not dead, how about I give it a try?"
