"Professor Yang, this has nothing to do with them. I came here of my own will."

"I know my own situation. I don't have much time left, but as long as there is a chance, I want to try."

"Even if it's just a little, I'm willing to take the risk! I don't want to die; I still have so many things I need to do."

"And I don't want to leave my parents, grandparents, classmates, and friends so soon."

As she said this, she stared intently at Yang Yan, her determined gaze already brimming with tears.

Although she felt it was strange, she had already noticed that Yang Yan, who appeared almost her age, held a high status, so she had to express her stance and determination.

Otherwise, she was afraid Yang Yan would act arbitrarily and snuff out her last hope.

Hearing Weiling's words, Yang Yan couldn't help but frown.

Wu Jie wasn't wrong; they really needed data; without it, they couldn't proceed.

And Weiling was also right; she truly didn't have much time left.

"Cooperate with them to complete the data testing, and then come to my lab once."

After speaking, Yang Yan turned back to his own lab.

After completing the final data testing, Weiling, filled with anxiety, went directly to the door of Yang Yan's lab.

"Come in!"

She hesitated for a moment, grasped the handle instead of knocking, and pushed the door open.

As soon as she entered, she saw Yang Yan at the lab bench fiddling with some red and green chemicals.

She could tell that Yang Yan was busy with something. She opened her mouth but didn't speak, obediently standing aside silently waiting.

It took a full three minutes before Yang Yan put down what he was working on.

He turned around, gave Weiling a glance, then shook his head and said:

"Take off all your clothes! Make sure there's nothing left, and then lie down over there."

"Ah..."

Weiling was stunned by Yang Yan's words.

Before coming in, she had considered all kinds of possibilities but hadn't imagined this scenario.

"Ah? If I'm not mistaken, you probably have less than two months to live. You should have lost contact with your family a long time ago, right?"

Yang Yan pulled a chair over, plopped down in front of Weiling, and stared into her eyes.

"How do you know that?"

Weiling looked at Yang Yan, surprised.

Just a moment ago, she even wondered if Yang Yan could have been sent by her family.

However, that thought quickly passed.

After all, if he were sent by her family, he would have taken her away long ago.

And if he were sent by her family, how dare he ask her to undress and lie down!

"Hasn't it always been the Red Flame Fruit suppressing your illness? Am I correct?"

"Originally, if you persisted in taking it, your body would have recovered in a few years."

"However, it seems you're without the Red Flame Fruit for about half a year. If not, your illness wouldn't have relapsed so quickly."

Yang Yan spoke to Weiling, as if listing his treasures.

In truth, he had seen her condition the first time he laid eyes on her.

Weiling clearly bore the Nine Yin Extinct Vein, yet she lived past the age of nine.

This could only prove one thing—her family had some considerable background.

Combining with her fiery aura, it was undoubtedly the use of the Red Flame Fruit's Fire Poison to treat through poison with poison.

However, what puzzled Yang Yan was that if they had such a treasure as the Red Flame Fruit, why did she still appear to be short-lived?

That day at the cafeteria, after a face-to-face chat, Yang Yan quickly realized one problem—this girl hadn't consumed the Red Flame Fruit in a while.

"Who exactly are you? How do you know so much?"

Weiling stared at Yang Yan in shock, her face full of surprise as she asked.

"You don't need to worry about who I am. From now on, we'll each take what we need. I'll help you heal, and likewise, you'll have to make some sacrifices."

Yang Yan said indifferently.

Upon hearing Yang Yan's words, Weiling blushed at first, then turned angry.

She protested indignantly:

"In your dreams! Who do you think I am? I would rather die than let you succeed."

"Uh..."

Yang Yan was taken aback by Weiling's words.

He quickly realized.

It seemed his previous words were too ambiguous.

He hastily explained:

"You're overthinking it. When I said we'll each take what we need, I meant I help you with your illness, and you help me test these medicines—nothing else."

Hearing this, Weiling looked at him confusedly.

Just now, she thought this guy had some untoward desire for her.

If it's just testing medicine, then of course there's no problem.

"Are you sure it's just to test the medicine and not something else?"

Weiling couldn't help but ask again.

"Of course!" Yang Yan said with a smile, "What else do you think I could be doing?"

"Then... why did you ask me to get undressed just now?"

Weiling stared into Yang Yan's eyes with intensity, asking directly.

"What else could it be for? Of course, to treat your illness! I need you undressed to perform the acupuncture..."

Yang Yan said awkwardly.

It's no wonder there was a misunderstanding; with just the two of them alone, and asking one to completely undress, any normal person would get the wrong idea.

Hearing Yang Yan's words, Weiling hesitated no longer and began to undress.

For some reason, when Weiling first saw Yang Yan, she felt he was different from others.

Moreover, she had witnessed Yang Yan use acupoint stimulation to make a male classmate stand for an entire class.

Coupled with Yang Yan's evident status in the lab, she naturally had considerable confidence in him.

When Weiling was fully undressed, Yang Yan also took a deep breath.

He focused his mind, suppressing his restless emotions, and then began to administer acupuncture to Weiling.

Nine Yin Extinct Vein sounds daunting and is indeed an incurable disease for ordinary people.

However, in the Hidden World, this condition isn't a big deal.

For the average Hidden World individual, it cannot be cured overnight, but suppression isn't too much of a problem.

If a true wealthy and noble family encountered such a case, not only would they be unworried, but they might even find it somewhat delightful.

Because it's certain that by awakening this kind of constitution, one would possess ice-type abilities, and often not weak ones.

After inserting the final needle in Weiling, Yang Yan stood up and said:

"Now you just stay here and don't move. I'll return in half an hour to remove the needles for you."

After speaking, Yang Yan directly walked toward the door.

Standing outside, he looked up at the sky, a strange light suddenly flashing in his eyes:

"What a situation this is!"
