Chapter 456: If There is a Next Life…
“How long can he hold on?”
A group of people crowded in Bai Xiaofei’s room as he lay in bed, his remaining time decreasing with every second . The question was asked to He Rushi by an anxious Bai Ye sitting at the bedside .
“I am only an alchemist, not a doctor . I can’t provide a specific time, but according to his rate of decline, he only has 20 days at most,” replied He Rushi solemnly . Everyone was instantly dispirited .
Twenty days, too short to seek anyone for help…
“He can only last so long with his physique?” There was disbelief in Bai Ye’s voice . He had seen Bai Xiaofei recover from injuries, and how they healed at a speed visible to the naked eye left a deep impression on him .
“If it weren’t for his special physique, he wouldn’t be able to last three days . Also, at the moment of the explosion, there was a special force protecting him, or else he would have already been dead,” explained He Rushi, fearful of what could have happened . “If he hadn’t survived, the detonation of two Master Rank puppet masters at the same time would have killed even us . ”
That was Tang Bing’s plan . He had planned his revenge after discovering that Chu Yue’s puppet had such an ability . A pity for him that he failed at the last step .
“There must be a way, right? If you need any kind of help at all, just say it!” Gu Heng immediately asked, looking even more anxious than Bai Ye .
“There is, but only if you have a grade-eight or above pill of the vitality type . Can you find even one?”
This was tantamount to a bucket of cold water that doused the fire of hope in everyone’s hearts . Vitality pills from grade-eight up were simply something so priceless that no one would put up for sale . Not to mention a little kingdom like Ancient Yue, even Starnet would require a certain amount of time to get its hands on one .
“Is there no other possibility?” Yun Mo frowned . He didn’t want to stand and watch Bai Xiaofei, who had helped his wife out, slowly die .
“If there is, I would have said it . ”
Everyone fell silent . After looking at Bai Xiaofei, whose face was full of pain while in a coma, they shook their heads helplessly .
“I can save him!” Just as the atmosphere hit rock bottom, a crisp voice rang out .
Everyone looked over in the direction of the voice . At this moment, Nie Qing’s face was full of seriousness and determination .
“This is not the time for you to mess around!” roared Fang Lei before the rest could ask what she meant . At the same time, Qing Shuang and Xia He repeatedly tugged on her clothes and kept shaking their heads at her .

“You know very well if I am messing around!” Staring fixedly at Fang Lei, Nie Qing did not budge . At her retort, Fang Lei was flushed with anger as he was rendered speechless .
“If you really have a way, I beg you, please save him . As long as you are willing to, I, Bai Ye, will accede to your any request!” Bai Ye walked to Nie Qing and solemnly cupped his fist .
“I don’t need you to promise me anything . I’m not saving him for the sake of anyone else,” declared Nie Qing calmly and walked towards the bed . Then, she looked back and said coldly, “Everyone leave except for Third Brother . When I cure him, I can’t have too many people around . ”
Yet no one moved .
“Why, do you have other ways or just want to watch him die?” This time, Nie Qing successfully threatened everyone . Everyone withdrew except for the Thunderstorm Bandits .
“In any case, I thank you!” at the door, Bai Ye said to Nie Qing . Before she could retort again, he walked out .
With this, there were only the Thunderstorm members in the room .
“You don’t have to persuade me, I have already decided,” Nie Qing preempted before Fang Lei and others could speak, shoving their words back down to their stomachs .
“Lil’ sis, there must be some other way . Why don’t we wait? His body is not going to collapse now, we still have a chance before that happens!” He Rushi tried reasoning, his attitude was completely different from just now .

“So we can get a grade-eight pill within twenty days? Or there will be a miracle and he suddenly recovers? The judgment was made by you, Third Brother, and you are the worst liar of us all . Do you think you can deceive me?”
When Nie Qing finished, He Rushi lapsed into silence . He had already done his best…
“Then, you’re not even considering us? If you save him, what about us? Have you considered our feelings?” Xia He stepped forward . Unlike He Rushi, she chose to persuade with sentiment .
“This is what we owe him . If it weren’t for him, Sis Qing Shuang couldn’t have gotten the Skypatch Pill and even we couldn’t have been able to retreat under those circumstances . Now it is time to give it back to him . ” Having calmed down, Nie Qing turned into that Imperial Concubine Qing, organizing her thoughts particularly orderly .
“Even if it is owed to him, it is me who should pay it back . We must make it clear in such a time like this!” Qing Shuang sprang up emotionally . If Nie Qing made this choice because of her, she would loath herself for the rest of her life .
“If you can, of course, it is best for you to be the one to do it . But do you have this ability now?” Nie Qing’s words rendered Qing Shuang speechless .
Indeed, she did not have that ability .
“Moreover, you guys should already know why I want to save him . ” This time, there was a tenderness in Nie Qing’s voice that stopped them from persuading her any further .

“Lil’ sis, you and he actually…”
“We have discussed this many times . You want to bring it up now?” Nie Qing cut Yun Mo off .
“Fine, we won’t stop you!” Fang Lei finally opened his mouth, dropping a bomb that made everyone dumbstruck, even Nie Qing was no exception .
“However, don’t you have anything to say to us?”
Looking at Fang Lei, whose eyes were red, Nie Qing fell into a long silence . At that time, their eyes all turned red .
“Everyone, thank you very much for taking care of me for so many years . I have never been able to make any great contributions to our group, but this time, I think I have made up for all those years . I believe that he will be a great help to the Thunderstorm Bandits in the future . I also hope that you guys can step out when he needs help . ”
Two lines of glistering tears streamed down from Nie Qing’s eyes .
“If there is a next life, I hope I will still be a member of the Thunderstorm Bandits!”
