Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 511: Chapter 369: Everything was her own choice

In the face of everyone’s expectations, this time Lord Tan Nv left everyone disappointed. Her long hair swayed slightly as she slowly shook her head, ”Now, I cannot awaken her!”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces showed disappointment.

”No! Impossible!” Si Xi suddenly stepped forward, tightly grabbing Lord Tan Nv’s black robe sleeve, his face full of disbelief as he spoke, ”Lord Tan Nv, you must be lying! This can’t be true!”

”Others might not know, but you were saved by my master during his campaign in the Land of Bashu. Born from Bashu and raised in Miaojiang, you are naturally the only witch priest of this era. How could there be a Hateful Victory Curse you cannot break! Lord Tan Nv, you must be deceiving Si Xi, aren’t you?”

”What?!”

”Ah!”

As soon as Si Xi’s words fell, all the doctors stepped back in terror.

They had never heard of a witch priest, but they had indeed heard of witches!

The one who can perform the Hateful Victory Curse is a witch!

Those mystically supreme and sinisterly evil beings are witches!

The Tan Nv before them, turned out to be a witch!

”Why are you afraid? Lord Tan Nv is a witch priest, not a wizard!” Hearing the exclamations around him, Si Xi immediately turned and scolded, then turned around and, grabbing Lord Tan Nv’s sleeve, knelt on the ground, his eyes brimming with tears as he pleaded, ”Lord Tan Nv, Si Xi knows that you dislike practicing as a witch priest, but please, for the sake of the kindness my master showed you, awaken Changsheng’s Mother at any cost! Si Xi bows to you!”

After Si Xi’s speech, he immediately started bowing his head, banging it on the floor with a ”thump, thump, thump.”

The crowd exchanged glances, perplexed.

”It seems that witch priests and wizards are not the same!” Hu Tiandong, still slightly fearful, hesitantly spoke, ”I remember seeing in an ancient medical book that medicine originated from witchcraft, and that a witch, being a priest, can perform invisible deeds and descend gods through dance!”

”So, there are good and bad types of witches as well...”

As people heard this, their faces changed, and their panic gradually dissipated...

”Lord Tan Nv, Dong Lei also bows before you! Please, awaken my wife at any cost!” Seeing this, Dong Lei did not hesitate to also kneel, his head thumping on the ground.

The two boys serving in the room also knelt down.

Remembering the semi-teacher relationship they shared with Changsheng’s Mother, the doctors steeled their hearts and also knelt one after another!

A witch priest, who can commune with the gods, would not mind being knelt to!

”We plead with Lord Tan Nv to awaken the mother!”

”We plead with Lord Tan Nv to awaken the mother!”

For a moment, only the sound of heads being banged and pleas filled the room, while Lord Tan Nv stood in her black robe, seemingly detached from everything around her.

”Is it truly necessary for this old man to kneel before you?” Mr. Ban Shan, looking at Lord Tan NV, firmly spoke, ”Enough, enough, enough! For the sake of my beloved daughter, not to mention kneeling, even if it costs me my life, I am willing!”

As Mr. Ban Shan said this, he prepared to kneel, and Zhou Zongbao, watching this, urgently stomped his foot in anxiety!

Mr. Ban Shan was his enlightening mentor. If Mr. Ban Shan were to kneel, how could he possibly remain standing?

But as a prince and esteemed the Forefather, the number of people he had knelt to in his life could be counted on one hand. Now, he was expected to kneel to a mysteriously temperament witch priest, this...

Just as Zhou Zongbao was helping Mr. Ban Shan, pondering whether to kneel with him, Lord Tan Nv suddenly turned around. Her chaotic eyes stared directly at Mr. Ban Shan, who was ready to go down on his knees. Her voice was hoarse as she stopped him, ”Sir, do not kneel. You, who write books and preach to educate the people, have high morals. I cannot accept your kneeling.”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ban Shan paused, and Zhou Zongbao, seeing this, immediately helped him to stand.

”But... my daughter...” Mr. Ban Shan anxiously spoke.

Lord Tan Nv turned again toward Gu Changsheng lying on the bed, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. She slowly spoke, ”It is not that I do not awaken her, but that I cannot!”

”Why is this? Lord Tan Nv, you clearly can awaken Changsheng’s Mother. Why won’t you?” Si Xi heard this and crawled forward two steps, speaking anxiously.

Lord Tan Nv heard this and slowly bent over, her pale forefinger touching Gu Changsheng’s forehead for a moment before quickly pulling away, shaking her head helplessly, ”I was born a witch and became a priest. In this world, there is no witchcraft I cannot break, except for...”

”Except for a person voluntarily afflicted by this witchcraft who does not wish to wake up!”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces turned to her, puzzlement written all over them.

”How is that possible? How could Changsheng’s Mother possibly choose to be afflicted by a witchcraft voluntarily?”

”Exactly! Who would want to be touched by such sinister and evil things?”

”... ”

The doctors in the room immediately began whispering among themselves.

Lord Tan Nv looked at the person on the bed and muttered an explanation in the foreign tribe’s accent, coupled with her husky, drawn-out voice, it sounded eerie, almost like a chant, ”Humans have seven emotions and six desires, three souls and six spirits. When the soul and spirit connect, I sensed something was wrong when she first fell into a deep slumber. I tried several times to awaken her, but all efforts were in vain!”

”It is she who resists waking up!”

”Why? How could Lady Changsheng possibly resist waking up?” Si Xi immediately asked, ”Her family is here, her most beloved son is here, how could she not want to wake up?”

”That would depend on where her missing two souls and three spirits have gone!” Lord Tan Nv slowly spoke, ”Where the heart lingers, the soul dreams. The whereabouts of her two souls and three spirits must be the place her soul longs and dreams of!”

”Although witchcraft is evil and unacceptable in this world, it is the only way to strip a person’s soul and spirit. I do not know where her two souls and three spirits have gone; I only know that her remaining one soul and three spirits resist me. They are unwilling to call back the lost soul and spirit to rejuvenate her body; they do not wish to wake up!”

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately collapsed to the ground in despair.

Even the figure of Mr. Ban Shan shook, and seeing this, Zhou Zongbao quickly supported him, his face also turning pale.

After a while, Mr. Ban Shan managed to gather himself and asked with a bewildered face, ”If she herself does not wish to wake up, what should we do then?”

”Yeah, what should we do? We can’t let Lady Changsheng continue to lie unconscious!”

”Lord Tan Nv, your mana is boundless, please think of a way quickly!”

”How can we be without Lady Changsheng, Lord Tan Nv, please think of a way quickly!”

”...”

Immediately, everyone began to plead again.

”Wait!”

Under everyone’s prayers, Lord Tan Nv slowly uttered a word.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at her, puzzled.

”Wait! Wait until her wishes are fulfilled, wait until she is willing to wake up!” Lord Tan Nv’s ethereal voice echoed, ”The soul and spirit cannot be separated from the body for more than seven days, or they will disperse with no way back. If she can fulfill her wishes within seven days, I will personally call her to wake!”

”But what if Lady Changsheng is unwilling?” Si Xi asked nervously.

Upon hearing this, Lord Tan Nv’s face grew solemn, and she spoke deliberately, ”If she is unwilling to wake up, even if I must go against the heavens, I will forcibly summon her back!”

Hearing about going against the heavens, everyone was stunned.

Even Si Xi was shocked and muttered, ”Usually, going against the heavens invites backlash. Lord Tan Nv, you...”

Isn’t an act like power transmission against the heavens a very risky one of life or death?

In this world, natural laws cycle, and those who defy the heavens challenge the cosmic order. How could such acts easily succeed?

”Death is not to be regretted!” Lord Tan Nv uttered decisively, her eyes full of determination amidst the chaos!

Having spoken, Lord Tan Nv did not even glance at the people kneeling on the ground, she turned and walked slowly outside.

The gazes of those present involuntarily followed her moving figure!

Lord Tan Nv walked very slowly, though slow, each step was extremely determined and resolute.

Seeing this, the eyes of the people present couldn’t help but moisten slightly.

”Could it really be that there is no other way?” Mr. Ban Shan watched Lord Tan Nv’s disappearing figure outside the door and slowly asked.

Saving Changsheng’s beloved daughter would cost Lord Tan Nv her life. Even if her beloved daughter woke up, she would surely regret it for life...

Kneeling on the ground, Si Xi shook his head blankly, ”No more... Lord Tan Nv is the most powerful chaos witch priest in the world, and since even she says so, there must be no other way...”

Lady Changsheng wakes, Tan Nv dies...

Faced with such a dilemma, Lord Tan Nv had already made her choice!

”Wuuu... less than four days left, what exactly is the heart-and-soul matter that Mistress can’t let go, why doesn’t she want to wake up? Wuuu...” Dong Lei kneeled by the bed, quietly crying, carefully clutching his wife’s hand in his palms, imploring anxiously, ”Mistress! You must fulfill your wishes and wake up quickly. If you prefer to sleep forever, then Lord Tan Nv will...”

”Young Master, I must catch the culprit behind the Hateful Victory Curse and grind their bones to dust!” Zhou Zongbao trembled with anger, his face turning red.

”Finding that person is not difficult. To perform the Hateful Victory Curse, one must have Changsheng’s beloved daughter’s personal details. Apart from the old folks at home, only one family in the world has her personal details!” Mr. Ban Shan sat on the bed, his face full of worry, and slowly said.

”Li Mansion! When Gu Changsheng married into Li Mansion, they surely exchanged marriage letters! It must be someone from Li Mansion causing this!” Zhou Zongbao spoke through gritted teeth, ”Yhan Qinrui just married into Li Mansion, and recently she was disciplined by Gu Changsheng and her son. It must be their doing. Young Master, I will go to the City Lord’s Mansion and drag them out to be executed this instant!”

Just as Zhou Zongbao charged out in fury, Si Xi quickly grabbed his leg, nervously saying, ”That cannot be done, Your Highness Prince Bao! Now that Lady Changsheng is unconscious, and her personal details are in their possession, if the person who aided Yhan Qinrui in the curse sees you acting rashly and tries something, then it will truly be out of our control!”

Zhou Zongbao paused, his face twisted in anger, ”Such a malevolent person deserves to be ground to dust; they should not be allowed to live in this world and continue their misdeeds with impunity. Are we supposed to just watch them continue their carefree villainy?”

”Gu Changsheng once married into Li Mansion, her personal details are in their hands, don’t forget that Xiao Gu Ze was born in Li Mansion, they certainly have his details too!”
