I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Who are you?" Fairy Hibiscus and the Fire-Eating Scorpion looked at the strange girl who suddenly broke in and asked cautiously.

They had no idea if this girl was a subordinate of the Fire Witch. Both of them were ready for battle. Fairy Hibiscus took a fighting stance, while the Fire Scorpion came up to Li Chen and picked up the unconscious Li Chen. If they noticed anything wrong with the girl, they would take action immediately. One of them would be responsible for holding her back, and the other would be responsible for taking Li Chen away.

Seeing the two of them so nervous, the girl smiled innocently and said, "Oh, well, don't be so nervous. I'm here to defeat the Fire Witch!"

"What? You want to defeat the Fire Witch? Little girl, this is no joke! You should hurry home!" Fairy Hibiscus urged anxiously. In her eyes, the threat posed by this young girl was nothing compared to Li Chen. In his prime, Li Chen could easily slaughter ten girls like her!

However, the girl was not shaken by Fairy Hibiscus' words. Instead, she said confidently, "Hmph, don't underestimate me. I'm very powerful! Why is there an injured person on your side?" She asked, pointing at Li Chen who was lying on the bed.

The Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion said in a slightly sad tone, "He is our master. He was seriously injured in the battle against the Fire Witch. He has a high fever and is on the verge of death!"

Upon hearing this, the girl took a few steps closer and began to carefully examine Li Chen's injuries. She saw that Li Chen's face was bloodless and pale as paper, but the high fever in his body had not subsided.

Seeing Li Chen's miserable state, the girl's expression began to become solemn and serious. At this moment, her slender hands suddenly flashed three cold lights, and three silver needles quietly appeared in her hands.

"There is anger in his body. We must force the anger out of his body first to save his life!" said the girl with a serious expression.

Hearing the girl's words, Fire Scorpion and Hibiscus Fairy looked at each other, their hearts filled with worry and doubt. They were now faced with a difficult decision. What if this girl had bad intentions? Wouldn't that mean Li Chen's life was in the hands of a stranger?

Fire Scorpion and Hibiscus Fairy fell silent. After exchanging a glance, they finally nodded, choosing to trust the mysterious girl. After all, there was no other way out. If they delayed any further, Li Chen would be in grave danger. So, they decided to do as the girl said, hoping to save Li Chen's life.

The Fire Scorpion and the Hibiscus Fairy slowly exited the room, leaving the girl ample space to perform her medical skills. They stood outside the door, anxiously awaiting the results, their hearts trembling with uneasiness.

The girl looked at Li Chen lying on the bed and sighed, "If it weren't for this man's exceptionally strong body, I'm afraid his internal organs would be burned by such a fierce anger, right?"

The girl took off all of Li Chen's clothes and made him sit cross-legged on the bed. Although Li Chen's face was pale, his body was a fiery red! He was sweating profusely!

The girl first picked up the first silver needle and used it to pierce Li Chen's Hegu acupoint. When the needle entered Li Chen's body, the entire needle suddenly turned red and emitted an abnormally high temperature! However, Li Chen's body temperature dropped slightly!

At that moment, the young woman picked up a second silver needle and thrust it into Li Chen's Fengchi acupoint without hesitation. This needle, like the first, swiftly penetrated Li Chen's body. However, unlike the previous one, this time the needle did not emit the intense heat of the previous one. Instead, the heat it released was significantly reduced, with only a faint vapor slowly wafting out.

"puff!!!!"

Suddenly, Li Chen violently spat out a mouthful of bright red blood, which splattered onto the ground, forming a pool of crimson blood. At the same time, his previously blazing body gradually cooled down, and his body temperature began to return to normal. His face also slowly turned rosy, no longer as pale and frightening as before.

As time went on, Li Chen continued to cough up large amounts of dirty blood, as if he was vomiting out all the toxins and blood clots in his body. When the girl saw this, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and she immediately raised the third silver needle in her hand, ready to pierce Li Chen's temple.

As the girl's final needle pierced Li Chen's temple, a miracle occurred. Li Chen's body temperature finally returned to normal, and his breathing gradually calmed. Then, the girl carefully removed the needles one by one, causing Li Chen to cough up a mouthful of dark, dirty blood with each needle. Finally, Li Chen collapsed limply onto the bed, as if he had lost all strength.

The three silver needles absorbed excessive heat from Li Chen's body, and they all melted the moment they were pulled out!

However, the girl didn't stop. She gently lifted Li Chen's head and placed it gently on the pillow, ensuring he could sleep peacefully. Then, she sat quietly by the bed, gazing at Li Chen's face, her eyes revealing concern and expectation.

After a long time, Li Chen slowly woke up.

"What happened to me? How did I end up back here??"

Li Chen struggled to open his eyes. He felt extremely weak, as if all his strength had been drained away. He stared blankly at his familiar surroundings, trying to recall what had happened. As his vision gradually cleared, he noticed the strange girl sitting beside the bed.

"You're awake! You were nearly killed by the fire energy entering your body!"

The young woman spoke anxiously, a glimmer of fear in her eyes. She described the situation to Li Chen in detail, her heart palpitating at the intense heat. She thanked Li Chen for his exceptional physique, emphasizing that if the immediate rescue hadn't been done, the consequences would have been disastrous had the heat penetrated his internal organs.

"who are you?"

Li Chen asked doubtfully, a look of surprise on his face. He really couldn't understand how someone could have such advanced medical skills to heal him after being injured by the Fire Witch!

"As for me, I'm here to defeat the Fire Witch!"

The girl answered innocently, her voice clear and pleasant. As she spoke, she took out a few pills from her bosom and carefully placed them on the bedside of Li Chen.

"You're in good health now, so make sure you rest. These are some nourishing and strengthening tonics that will help you recover better!"

After the girl finished speaking, she skipped away. Li Chen looked at the lively girl and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
