Chapter 76 Evil Spirits? Or Gods?
Ling Yu silently pulled her hands away from theirs, unsure of where to look, her mind in turmoil.

Wei and Lie exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a deep understanding of each other.

"that……"

Ling Yu sensed the extremely strange atmosphere. Just as she was about to leave, a painful whistle sounded behind her, followed by several males shouting anxiously:

"Shh! Shhh, what's wrong? Shhh..."

She turned her head sharply and saw Shao lying on the ground, convulsing violently a few times before collapsing unconscious.

Tail and Retsu rushed over immediately. Retsu stepped forward to check his breathing, and his expression suddenly changed. "How is this possible?"

"What's wrong with the whistle?" Wei asked urgently.

“…She’s dead.” Lie murmured in disbelief.

For a moment, the males watching were all taken aback.

"How could this happen? How come the whistle has stopped breathing?"

"We were just watering this seedling, and Shao was joking with us for a while when he suddenly collapsed and started convulsing!"

"Could it be... an evil spirit?"

Their faces turned pale, and they instinctively turned their gazes to Ling Yu as she walked over.

He roared angrily, "Don't talk nonsense!"

The little female did nothing, so what does it have to do with her?
The males exchanged glances, and although none of them spoke, there was suspicion in their eyes.

Sometimes rumors are like that; they seem unbelievable at first, but they eventually leave a mark on people's hearts. Once something related happens, people will unconsciously recall the rumors and begin to doubt them until they are convinced of their truth.

"Move aside, let me take a look."

Ling Yu pushed through the crowd and rushed to the sentry's side to take his pulse. She then checked his eyelids and mouth, immediately confirming that he had suffered cardiac arrest. Her expression was grave as she said, "Everyone, disperse!"

As he spoke, he knelt down next to the whistle, placed his hands on the whistle's chest, and began performing CPR.
She did it with complete concentration, stroke by stroke.

The males behind him pointed and whispered, full of doubt:
What is she doing?

"The person is already dead, did she really think she could bring them back to life?"

"I guess it's related to her, and they're putting on an act to avoid suspicion."

These people were not loud, but they were full of doubts about Ling Yu.

Wei and Lie didn't dare to disturb Ling Yu, and stood quietly by her side watching, their expressions extremely solemn.

Although they were unsure whether the girl could be saved, they knew that she couldn't possibly be harming anyone.

She pressed down on Shao's chest with such focus that she pressed it over a hundred times. Sweat gradually appeared on her forehead, and her expression was extremely tense. She dared not relax for a moment.

They dared not disturb his focused and earnest demeanor.

The whistle remained silent.

The surrounding chatter grew louder: "Stop pressing the trigger! The whistle is dead! What are you still doing!"

"Yes! Quickly, let out the whistle!"

"You're the one who ruined the scout. He was smelting iron for days on end without a break, and now he's farming, all while bragging about you to us! How could you do this to him?"

As they were talking, someone couldn't stand it and tried to rush over and pull Ling Yu away.

Wei suddenly grabbed the person, blocking Ling Yu, and for the first time, his usually reserved temper flared up at everyone: "Shut up!"

"Tail! We know she's your female, but Whistle is our brother. He's dead, why are you letting her torture him!"

"Yes, Wei! You've been bewitched by her!"

Wei's icy gaze swept over everyone present: "I said, shut up! Don't bother her!"

Seeing that Ling Yu was so tired that her face was pale, but she still didn't give up, he guessed that she was probably using methods from her world to treat the whistle.

Although it seems that the chances of success are not high.

But he also wanted to take a gamble!
Lie stared at Ling Yu, observing her technique, the frequency and rhythm of her pressure. Seeing that she was almost exhausted and her arms were starting to tremble, he said in a deep voice, "You take a rest, I'll do it."

Ling Yu was exhausted and covered in sweat. Seeing that the whistle hadn't moved yet, she was getting a little anxious. Meeting Lie's calm and deep eyes, she inexplicably felt safe with him around and subconsciously wanted to trust him.

It was as if things wouldn't get any worse with him around.

She sat up slightly, her legs were a little numb, and just as she was about to fall, Lie supported her waist and almost carried her to the side.

Then, I started pressing, mimicking her posture.

Lie's grip was strong, his positioning was precise, and his rhythm and frequency were very standard. He coordinated his breathing with the situation and observed the whistle.

Pressing the button repeatedly, one press after another, racing against time.

Finally, the whistle began to breathe again, gasped for breath, his face gradually regained its color, and he was able to move his hands and feet again.

"Quickly help him up!" Ling Yu said hastily.

Lie obeyed her and slightly raised the whistle's upper body.

After catching his breath, Shao's complexion gradually returned to normal. He looked at everyone in confusion and asked, "W-what happened?"

Those present stared at Ling Yu in utter astonishment at his miraculous recovery.

"Really... really alive?"

"I must be seeing ghosts..."

"Shao, you just stopped breathing. Yu pressed on your chest, and Lie and others brought you back to life. How are you?"

Someone quickly asked the scout for help. The scout looked bewildered and took a moment to process what had just happened: "I... I don't know either. I just felt like I couldn't breathe, then I took a nap, and when I woke up I saw you all."

"Shao, you're too tired. Your heart isn't very good to begin with, which is why you had a cardiac arrest. You need to rest, drink more water, and relax more," Ling Yu said with a sigh of relief.

Looking at everyone's shocked expressions, the scout belatedly realized that he had just narrowly escaped death.
He felt a wave of fear wash over him and looked at Ling Yu with gratitude: "Yu, you saved my life, you're my savior! Thank you! Thank you so much!"

Ling Yu smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

The others were even more shocked to see Ling Yu so calm. They had said such things to her, yet she wasn't angry at all.
It can bring the dead back to life and remain so calm. Is it an evil spirit or a deity?

They were a little confused.

"Yu, we misunderstood you just now, please don't take it to heart," a male said sincerely as he approached.

Others also gathered around, saying, "Yes, Yu, we didn't expect you to be so amazing. Evil spirits and all that are just rumors. We'll never say anything more about it."

“Yes! You are so kind and intelligent, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that you are a god of our tribe, you can’t possibly be an evil spirit.”

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

Someone had already brought over a bowl of water and handed it to Ling Yu solicitously: "Yu, have some water."

Looking at everyone's eager eyes, Ling Yu took a sip of water and said, "I think everyone needs to see things for themselves, instead of just following the crowd and believing what others say."

Shao nodded repeatedly: "Yu is right! We must trust our own judgment and not ruin other people's reputations with our words. For example, to be honest, I used to dislike Yu too."

"But later I found out that Yu really changed. She was wholeheartedly thinking about our tribe and did so many things. She is a good person and a good female!"

These heartfelt words gradually resonated with everyone present.

“Shao is right. The Elder’s men have been saying bad things about Yu to us these past few days, and we almost believed them. But now that we think about it, when has Yu ever harmed anyone?”

"That's right, words never harm people, they only help people!"

Everyone echoed, and the gazes of two males towards Yu gradually shifted from wariness to admiration and worship.

"Yu, if you need anything in the future, just let us know."

"Yes, we will listen to you from now on."

Wei and Lie, who were standing nearby, keenly noticed that a few of the males were looking at Ling Yu with intense eyes. They exchanged a glance and stepped forward at the same time.
