He took a deep breath and endured the pain: "What does the Li family's affairs have to do with me? I have no interest in these things now. Doctor Liu, I just want to ask, how is Liu Wen now?"

It was obvious that old man Liu Zhenhai was pretending to be stupid, and Gu Ci knew it very well.

But now he is seriously injured and has not yet recovered. This is not the time to play wits with this old fox.

He had no choice but to suppress his anger and said in a grim tone: "Doctor Liu, I was saved from the brink of death, what else is there to be afraid of?"

"I'll tell you the truth. I took the Soul-Calming Ice and I also entered the Li family's ancestral tomb. How did the Li family treat me?"

Gu Ci's words were harsh and decisive, with a ruthless attitude that showed he was not afraid of his own death.

He was born with sword-like eyebrows and sharp eyes, and at this moment, there was a murderous look in the corners of his eyes, and he even revealed a frightening vicious aura.

Liu Zhenhai has lived for most of his life and is a doctor. What kind of ruthless people has he not seen?

But Gu Ci's eyes made his heart skip a beat, as if the man in front of him was not some down-and-out boy, but a ferocious beast that would choose its prey.

He sighed inwardly, this kid is really not a good person!

"Mr. Gu Ci, you are joking," Liu Zhenhai calmly retracted his gaze, still with an unfathomable smile on his face, "I am just worried that you are young and impetuous, and you have offended someone you shouldn't have offended. The matter of the Soul-Calming Ice is of great importance, and the Li family is not to be trifled with."

"Humph, the Li family is not easy to mess with, so do I, Gu Ci, deserve to be bullied by them?"

Gu Ci coughed violently several times, and waves of tearing pain came from his chest, but he seemed not to feel the pain and just stared at Liu Zhenhai.

"Doctor Liu, I respect you as my senior, so I'm being courteous to you. If you continue to beat around the bush with me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Liu Zhenhai couldn't hold the smile on his face any longer. He looked back and saw that the door of the ward was still closed, then he felt relieved.

His face was gloomy, and his tone was a little colder: "Well, Mr. Gu, since the Soul-Calming Ice has been obtained, why not take it out? I will extract the ice essence from it and go to treat your monkey!"

Liu Zhenhai's high-sounding words made Gu Ci sneer in his heart.

This old fox, does he really think he is a young boy just starting out?

He pretended to be silent for a long while before speaking: "What Doctor Liu said makes sense, but... the space here is too small. I'm afraid that even if I take out the Soul-Calming Ice, I won't have anywhere to put it!"

Liu Zhenhai's eyebrows moved slightly: "No, Mr. Gu, could it be that this legendary soul-calming ice is a big one?"

"Too little space?"

Liu Zhenhai paused as he stroked his beard. A gleam of light flashed in his cloudy old eyes. Was this kid teasing him?

He had lived for most of his life, what kind of natural treasures had he not seen? Although the Soul-Calming Ice was precious, it was only the size of a palm. How could this kid say that he had no place to put it?

"Mr. Gu Ci, are you trying to tease me?"

Liu Zhenhai's face darkened and his tone became colder.

Gu Ci seemed not to have noticed his anger. He struggled to get up, grimacing and breathing in the cold air as he said, "Doctor Liu, you're joking. I'm almost dead. How can I have the energy to tease you?"

As he spoke, he coughed violently a few more times, with a trace of blood even seeping from the corner of his mouth, and his face turned frighteningly pale.

Liu Zhenhai sneered in his heart and kept pretending!

This kid is so cunning, do you really think he will believe his lies?

"In that case, please ask Mr. Gu to take out the Soul-Calming Ice so that I can see this treasure."

Liu Zhenhai smiled with his face but not his heart.

Gu Ci just shook his head and sighed when he heard this: "To be honest with you, Doctor Liu, I'm afraid I can't get this soul-calming ice out."

"Oh? Why is that?"

Liu Zhenhai was confused and wondered what this kid was up to.

Gu Ci gave a bitter smile and lifted the thin blanket covering his body, revealing his muscular upper body.

I saw that the skin on his chest, which should have been smooth, was now covered with lightning-like ice-blue lines. These lines were like cracks in glaciers... There was a strange beauty to it.

"This……"

Liu Zhenhai's pupils suddenly shrank, and a hint of horror finally appeared on his face.

"The Soul-Calming Ice is an extremely cold substance. I forcibly took it away and used it, and I have suffered backlash. Now this Soul-Calming Ice is connected to my bloodline, unless..."

Gu Ci paused here, stared at Liu Zhenhai with burning eyes, and said word by word: "Unless, I die!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze, and the smile on Liu Zhenhai's face completely disappeared.

"You swallowed... the Soul-Calming Ice?!"

Liu Zhenhai felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He had lived for most of his life and had seen all kinds of storms, but the scene before him made him feel a fear from the bottom of his heart.

Soul-Calming Ice, that is a legendary treasure that can freeze even the soul, this kid actually gave it to...

Swallowed? !

He subconsciously took a few steps back, looking at Gu Ci as if he was looking at a monster.

"You...who are you?"

Liu Zhenhai's voice was trembling a little.

Gu Ci, however, seemed not to have heard his words and put on his clothes. As he put on his clothes, he said, "Doctor Liu, everything I said before is true. Now this soul-calming ice is connected to my life. Unless I die, no one can take it out."

As he spoke, he walked to the window, looked at the gloomy sky outside, and a self-deprecating arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I swallowed the Soul-Calming Ice unintentionally. Doctor Liu, please think of a way. Take my blood, take my flesh. As long as it can save the life of Monkey King Wukong, I will do my best to save his life."

Liu Zhenhai had lived for most of his life and had seen all kinds of weird people, but he had never seen a madman who dared to stuff soul-calming ice into his body.

This thing is extremely cold. If you touch it, you will be hurt. If you are not careful, you will be frozen into an ice sculpture. But this guy just swallowed it?

He circled around Gu Ci twice, as if he was looking at something rare, and he exclaimed in amazement as he looked at him: "Gu Ci, tell me honestly, who are you? I have never heard of a physique in this world that can withstand the cold air of the soul-calming ice."

Gu Ci fastened the last button slowly and leisurely, with a wry smile on his pale face: "Doctor Liu, you must be joking. I'm just a preparatory student at Shangqing University. How can I be so famous?"

"I have also experienced the power of this Soul-Suppressing Ice. If you are not desperate, who would be willing to suffer this?"

"Desperate?" Liu Zhenhai narrowed his eyes, obviously not believing his words, "Don't try to fool me, kid. Tell me, what is your purpose?"
