Want To Enroll In A University Part 1

At exactly 5 am in the morning, Qing Yue sat up and pressed the purple button on her chest. Her automatic wheelchair wheezed from the corner of the room and appeared in front of her.

Using her hands, she pushed herself off the bed and onto the chair. Then with familiar precision, she wheeled herself into the restroom.

The lights automatically came on and the door closed behind her.

Qing Yue rolled herself to the bathtub, took off her clothes, gingerly placed her feet on the ground, and supported herself with her hands.

At this moment, if anyone saw this scene, they'd be shocked senseless. Because at this moment, the Qing Yue that was deemed to be a cripple for life, was standing on her own feet.

Though her balance was skewed and her legs still dragged a little, compared to a week ago when she'd first arrived at the Long Mansion and couldn't even drag herself to the bed, her current situation could only be described as a miracle.

Qing Yue put more force in her arms and hauled herself into the bathtub.

The automatic tub instantly turned on and water at the temperature of her body filled the tub.

"Li Feng, let's start."

"Yes, Saintess. Today, we'll use the poisonous plants Snake's Fritillary and Swanspur to stimulate the dead muscles and nerves in your legs. These two plants have paralytic properties. But when used on already paralyzed muscles, they produce the opposite effect. Afterward, we'll conduct the first acupuncture treatment to expel the poisonous chemicals. And the second treatment to realign the severed nerves. Lastly, we'll conduct moxibustion to stimulate the flow of qi."

"Is that all?" Qing Yue tensed. Li Feng usually went into detail about the pain level of the treatment after he explained the herbs and the method of treatment they'd be using.

But this time, he went silent.

This unnerved Qing Yue.

After undergoing a week of secret treatment and enduring unimaginable, she was able to see the result of her efforts. Even though she was still lame, there was feeling in her originally dead legs, a complete contrast to the dull numb from a week ago.

If anything went wrong at this point, she didn't think she had the willpower to remain sane.

Li Feng's helpless sigh resounded in her head before she heard his voice. "The treatment today is going to be two times more painful than the previous treatments. There's a possibility that you might pass out from the intense pain. But if that happens, then the treatment will be considered a failure. This treatment is the most important, because, it will decide if you'll be able to walk again or remain a cripple forever. So for this treatment, not only do you need to endure the intense pain, but you also need to remain awake during the entire treatment process."

Qing Yue inadvertently trembled.

Two times more painful?

The previous treatments had already come close to shattering her resolve. Now she had to face agony two times more painful than the previous treatment.

"You know, you've already done well. You don't need to push yourself to this extreme. With the way your legs are right now, as long as you keep up with your regular exercises and take the right medication, you have a chance of recovering in a few more years. The process will be slow, but the pain will be more endurable and recovery is guaranteed."

Li Feng was obviously having a hard time watching her go through the inhumane treatment as well. As the one that had accompanied her in both her previous and present life, he was more clear on the immense pain she experienced and the numerous trials she went through.

In fact, it wouldn't even be wrong to consider him as her companion in her moments of anguish and despair. As such, he more than anyone else, wanted her to suffer as little pain as possible.

Even if doing so would delay her growth and impede her progress.

Qing Yue sensed the goodwill in his gentle, persuasive tone.

She was touched and her whole body relaxed. Knowing there was someone beside her that cared for her warmed her heart. If not everyone else, at least there was one person, even if he was a spirit, that knew of her great efforts.

That knowledge was enough to boost her courage.

"Li Feng, if I could, I would've loved to shed off this crippled identity of mine at this moment. But since that isn't possible right now, I can only endure and wait patiently. Unfortunately, my patience is limited. I can't wait a few more years. Since I've got this far, I'll keep going until the end. As for the pain...I'll endure it. I'll endure because that's the only way for me to be reborn from the ashes." She firmly declared.

Her purple eyes glowed with unshakable determination and resolve that made Li Feng's eyes sting.

Although he spoke so much nonsense, he knew her and as such, knew her final answer. But knowing and personally hearing it were two completely different matters, especially when he'd told her of the consequences if she failed.

"I understand. We'll continue with the treatment, but before that, let's get your face treatment done first." He helplessly said.

Qing Yue unwrapped the bandages on her face. The dregs of green medicinal herbs on her face came along with the white bandages, exposing her face that was similarly deemed completely disfigured for life.

Although not as smooth and clear, without a hint of blemish as before, Qing Yue's face no longer supported the horrid burn scars and blisters it previously did.

On the contrary, aside from a few scratches and some dark spots, signs of her horrible accident could hardly be found. In the eyes of many, with a little bit of make-up, her face could be considered presentable.

"Um! Your face healed smoothly and you should be able to recover your original appearance in a matter of two weeks. If you continue with a bit more treatment, there's a chance that you might even become more beautiful than you originally were." The approval in Li Feng's voice was unconcealable.

Similar to the treatment of her feet, Qing Yue had to endure intense burning on her face to expel the poisonous chemicals in her skin with the use of poison. She then had to apply another poison to peel off the burnt skin and another to regrow new skin.

The entire ordeal was one of endless torture, but she had endured it with grace. And thanks to her earlier fall, Long Tian associated her occasional grunts and groans of pain with the opened wounds and made her stay inside their bedroom until she fully recovered.

This saved her from facing her mother-in-law and her army of Long Tian admirers.

"Apply these herbs. They are good for removing scars and scratches. These ones are for the dark spots." Li Feng withdrew two stalks of herb from the Saint Dimension and placed them in front of her.

Qing Yue put on protective gloves, a mask, and dark shades before grabbing the stalks. Their poison content was too high for her to touch them without precaution.

"Li Feng, since I'm the Saintess of the Saint Pendant, can I withdraw the poisonous plants and herbs in the Saint Dimension as well?" She asked with curiosity.

In the beginning, Qing Yue didn't place much importance on the Saint Pendant and the Saint Dimension. She thought since the plants and herbs didn't even exist in the present time period, it was just a waste of her time to learn and memorize them.

But when Li Feng withdrew the herbs in the Saint Pendant to treat her face and legs, Qing Yue's heart trembled.

If the poisonous plants and herbs inside could be withdrawn, didn't that mean she had access to resources that didn't even exist in the present time? Didn't that mean she didn't need to search for these plants outside and could directly take them from the Saint Pendant?

The more she thought about the field of thousands of plants and herbs, the louder her heart pounded in her ears.

"Hmph! You finally realize the value of the Saint Pendant. Not only can you withdraw the herbs and plants in there for your own use, if you want, you can also even plant and grow new herbs in there. And the best part about the Saint Dimension is that you don't even need to look after the plant because all of its necessary nutrients will be provided by the dimension." He declared with pride.

Qing Yue's eyes glowed.

It was only now that she realized what a great treasure the Saint Pendant she previously referred to as Stone Pendant was.

A while later, Qing Yue applied the paste of the crushed herbs on her face and bandaged up the wounds.

"Now let's get started on your legs. Make sure you have something in your mouth to muffle your screams." Knowing Long Tian was just a door away, Qing Yue grabbed the roll of towel on the side and put it in her mouth.

She clutched the sides of the bathtub and gave a slight nod.

That was Li Feng's signal to rain down the horror.
