- Chapter 10 - The Alluring Actress & The Gloomy Heiress
Ye Zhixia, who had been sleeping in with an eye mask on, was jolted awake by the blaring alarm, her heart pounding uncontrollably.
Upon hearing that Chu Ning was in danger, she snapped awake instantly. Throwing off the covers and slipping into her slippers, she didn’t even have time to change her clothes before rushing to shake awake Xiao Mi, who was curled up in a ball.
As she shook her, she called out anxiously, “Xiao Mi, wake up! Hurry and find my teleportation tool—Chu Ning’s in danger!”
Xiao Mi, rudely awakened by Ye Zhixia’s rough shaking, was still groggy.
But the sheer panic on Ye Zhixia’s face startled her.
Ye Zhixia had always been calm and composed in emergencies—this flustered state was rare.
So without even thinking, Xiao Mi immediately retrieved the teleportation device from her spatial storage.
Clutching the device in her right hand, Ye Zhixia silently recited Chu Ning’s name in her mind, picturing her face.
Xiao Mi leaped onto her shoulder in a flash, and moments later, Ye Zhixia and Xiao Mi vanished from the spot.
Dressed in light blue cotton pajamas with her eye mask still perched on her head, Ye Zhixia abruptly appeared among the crowd gathered by the roadside.
Everyone was focused on the accident ahead, so no one noticed her sudden arrival.
Ye Zhixia glanced around—numerous vehicles were parked nearby, and passersby had stopped to gawk. The air was thick with the metallic tang of twisted steel and the acrid scent of gasoline.
Her gaze landed on the crash site: a black sedan had sideswiped a tree.
The trunk was embedded deep into the right side of the car, and the left frame was crumpled.
She pushed through the crowd to get a closer look.
A concerned bystander called out, “Don’t go near it—it’s dangerous! That car’s leaking fuel and could explode any second!”
She turned and nodded gratefully at the person before resolutely charging toward the wreck.
The driver’s side window was shattered, and the seat was empty—clearly, the driver had escaped.
But in the back seat, Chu Ning sat with her eyes closed, head slumped forward, unconscious.
The smell of gasoline grew stronger.
Ye Zhixia dashed forward, trying to wrench the door open to pull Chu Ning out.
But the door was locked—it wouldn’t budge.
She spun around and shouted at the onlookers, “Where’s the driver? Someone bring the spare keys to open this!”
No one responded.
“Dammit!” Ye Zhixia gritted her teeth, muttering under her breath, “Looks like this was part of their plan again.”
She rammed her elbow against the window, and faint cracks began to spread.
Though she no longer had the inner strength or spiritual energy from her past lives, she still had some skill in leveraging force.
“Wait, wait—take this first.” Xiao Mi, now an invisible kitten, flitted in front of Ye Zhixia and held out a pill to her lips. “The basic Strength Pill you refined when you were an alchemist in the cultivation world!”
Ye Zhixia clicked her tongue. This was a byproduct of her high-grade elixirs—somehow, it had fallen into a forgotten corner of Xiao Mi’s storage pouch and been brought into this modern world. Who knew it would come in handy now?
She opened her mouth and swallowed the pill whole.
Though it was a bit dry, in an instant, it felt as though spiritual energy surged through her limbs, filling her with boundless strength.
And so, under the stunned gazes of the crowd, she ripped the car door clean off with her bare hands.
A few gasps of shock erupted from the surrounding crowd.
After the car door was pried open, she frantically patted Chu Ning’s shoulder, shouting, “Wake up! Wake up now!”
However, Chu Ning drowsily opened her eyes, barely managing to part her lips as if to say something, only to slump her head back down again.
Her dazed state didn’t seem like she had simply fainted—it was more like she had been drugged!
At the front of the car, gasoline ignited from a spark, and flames rapidly spread across the entire vehicle.
She tried to pull Chu Ning out but found that her calf was broken and trapped beneath the driver’s seat.
The driver must have forcefully pushed the seat backward while escaping to make more room, causing it to pin Chu Ning’s leg.
At this thought, Ye Zhixia inwardly wished she could tear the driver to pieces.
By now, the fire had grown fiercer. Fortunately, with the boost from the Strength Pill, Ye Zhixia punched the driver’s seat forward into the steering wheel, tore off the seatbelt, and finally lifted Chu Ning into her arms before sprinting toward safety.
Just as she ran about twenty meters away, the car exploded.
The massive shockwave knocked Ye Zhixia, still holding Chu Ning, to the ground. She twisted her body mid-fall to shield Chu Ning, cushioning her head with her arm.
Thanks to the Strength Pill, Ye Zhixia’s bones and muscles had been reinforced, so the fall barely fazed her.
But a stray ember from the explosion landed squarely inside her collar, burning her skin and making her yelp in pain.
Gritting her teeth, she got up again and carried Chu Ning further away to safety.
Only then did the onlookers gather around, asking questions and praising Ye Zhixia as a heroine.
Traffic police and ambulances arrived belatedly, and both Chu Ning and Ye Zhixia were taken to the hospital.
A few sharp-eyed bystanders recognized Ye Zhixia without her makeup and pointed excitedly at the ambulance, shouting, “That’s Ye Zhixia!”
At the hospital, the emergency doctor quickly confirmed that Chu Ning had fractures in both bones of her right calf and needed immediate surgery.
Ye Zhixia, on the other hand, was physically unharmed, but since she had endured the shockwave from the explosion, the doctor still advised her to stay for observation and undergo a full examination.
Ye Zhixia pleaded with the emergency doctor, “Doctor, could you arrange a shared room for me and that girl? I’m a witness to the accident, so it’ll be easier for me to cooperate with the police investigation later.”
“I’ll cover all the costs,” she added firmly.
The emergency doctor agreed readily and called the orthopedic ward to arrange their admission.
But the orthopedic surgeon who arrived seemed unusually anxious.
Frowning deeply, the surgeon said, “This girl’s leg needs surgery right away—notify her family immediately!”
Thinking the doctor meant they needed family consent before operating, Ye Zhixia calmly negotiated, “Just focus on the surgery. I’ll sign the consent form. Do you recognize me?”
The surgeon gave her a disdainful look. “Why would I recognize you?”
Now embarrassed, Ye Zhixia quickly backtracked, “Just treat it as an emergency. I’ll handle the paperwork for her.”
The surgeon’s expression grew even more scornful. “Are you her family? You’re a victim too—worry about yourself first.”
Then, turning to the nurse, he ordered, “Let’s prep the other patient for surgery!”
Only then did Ye Zhixia realize that she had been judging a noble heart with her own petty standards.
However, she still went to help Chu Ning complete the hospital admission procedures.
The emergency doctor first treated her skin wounds. Having fallen multiple times at the accident scene, she was indeed covered in injuries.
Her pure cotton pajama set was also torn in several places.
After changing into a hospital gown, Ye Zhixia lay down on the bed and, taking advantage of the moment alone, quickly summoned Xiao Mi.
“Xiao Mi, Xiao Mi, what elixirs do you still have hidden away from before?” she asked curiously.
Xiao Mi hovered beside her, pulling out a Qiankun bag and rummaging through it.
Then, it produced a handful of colorful, candy-like pills.
Though it had been a long time, Ye Zhixia could still recognize the types of elixirs.
She picked out three silvery-white pills—Ice Jade Beauty Pills, known for their skin-rejuvenating and beautifying effects. Back in the cultivation world, they had been wildly sought after, earning her a fortune.
Perfect for today, since her skin had been scraped raw in many places. Taking one now would ensure the wounds healed within three days.
There were also Bone-Cleansing Pills and Qi-Gathering Pills, but those weren’t of much use at the moment.
However, one brownish-black pill with white speckles caught her eye—the Bone-Mending Pill, an excellent remedy for fractures.
Ye Zhixia popped one Ice Jade Beauty Pill into her mouth, tucked the remaining two into her pocket, and retrieved the Bone-Mending Pill from the pile.
Xiao Mi had a sharp memory and recognized the Bone-Mending Pill immediately.
Regretfully, it said, “If only I’d known earlier, we could’ve given this to Chu Ning. Now she has to suffer through surgery.”
But Xiao Mi was more theory-savvy than practical. Ye Zhixia gently explained, “The Bone-Mending Pill only accelerates bone healing. Before that, a doctor still needs to realign the bones. Surgery is unavoidable either way.”
Chu Ning’s surgery went smoothly, and within an hour, she was wheeled back to the ward by a nurse.
As the anesthesia wore off, Chu Ning groggily opened her eyes. The sight of the hospital room and her own hospital gown left her dazed, yet profoundly relieved.
That morning, after breakfast, she had asked her driver to take her to the airport to pick up the Chu family patriarch.
But as she sat in the car, her head began to spin. At first, she thought it was motion sickness, but the dizziness only worsened. When she struggled to keep her eyes open but lost all strength, she realized she’d been drugged again.
Too weak to lift her head, she could still feel the violent impact as the car crashed into a tree. Then, the driver abruptly pushed his seat back, crushing her right leg.
The pain forced a scream from her. Next, she heard the click of the locks. The driver shattered the car window with something and escaped, leaving her alone to face death.
Later, she was shaken awake, but after barely opening her eyes, she blacked out again. Reality and illusion blurred—she thought she saw a beautiful angel, bathed in holy light, rescuing her.
From the other bed, Ye Zhixia, who had been idly playing on her phone, noticed Chu Ning stirring. Delighted, she stood up and walked over with an Ice Jade Beauty Pill, the Bone-Mending Pill, and a glass of water.
“Ningning, take these,” she said softly.
The moment she saw Ye Zhixia, Chu Ning finally relaxed completely, as if Ye Zhixia were the most reassuring person in the world.
Of course, she had also guessed that the person who rescued her with a halo of divine light in her dream was Ye Zhixia.
If Chu Ning could still harbor doubts about the incident at the hotel last time, this car accident—where Ye Zhixia had risked her life to save her—made it impossible for Chu Ning to remain suspicious. After all, she had heard the terrifying explosion herself.
“Alright, by next week, you’ll be able to jump around like a normal person again,” Ye Zhixia reassured her with a smile as she watched Chu Ning swallow the pill. “Rest a little longer. Call me if you need anything.”
Ten minutes later, a white-haired elderly man in a well-tailored suit, exuding vigor, hurried into the ward surrounded by an entourage.
The moment the old man saw Chu Ning resting on the bed, he rushed forward in quick strides and grasped her hand, his eyes brimming with tears. “Ningning, I failed to protect you.”
The small private room was instantly packed with people, the scent of gasoline and diesel clinging to the travelers after their long journey quickly permeating the space.
Ye Zhixia, with her particularly sensitive sense of smell, pinched her nose and shooed them away. “Do you really need this many people to visit a patient? This is a hospital, not a marketplace.”
