3 1. Crossing

"Scalpel..."

"Forceps..."

"Gauze..."

"Hemostat..."

"Suturing needle..."

In a top-level surgery room in Country M, only a chilly and pleasant woman's voice could be heard...

Three hours later, the surgery room lights went out, and waiting outside the door were not ordinary people, but rows of well-trained special forces soldiers, led by a young, handsome man with blond hair and blue eyes...

Seeing the door of the surgery room open, the man quickly walked over and immediately asked the tall, slim woman wearing a mask and a white robe, "Doctor, how is my father?"

"The surgery was very successful, and he is out of the danger period. However, the anesthesia has not yet worn off, and he won't wake up for a while. Please let the patient rest well!" The woman said indifferently without any expression.

Hearing this, the blond man said excitedly, "Great, thank you, Doctor! Thank you so much! You can make any request, and I will agree to it!"

"You're welcome, I'm a bit tired, and I'm going to rest now!" the woman said, then left.

The man nodded and waved to the soldier behind him, and a strong soldier immediately came forward and took the woman to a resting place...

From beginning to end, the woman spoke coldly and showed no expressions. A big face mask covered most of her face, making it impossible to see her appearance...

The woman followed the soldier to a luxurious presidential suite, and the soldier left...

Only then did the woman remove the mask from her face, revealing an extremely beautiful face, fair skin, crescent-shaped eyebrows, cherry lips, and pitch-dark phoenix eyes that made people want to take a second glance, but fear to look longer...

Shangguan Jiulin, female, 22 years old, the world's leading surgeon, and the overlord of the medical field...

All surgeries performed by her had a 100% success rate, and not just any surgery could request her presence. Only politicians, business tycoons, and national leaders had a chance to ask her to take action...

It is said that three years ago, Mr. Yang, the Minister of National Defense of Country A, had a brain tumor, and all doctors declared it inoperable. Once the surgery was performed, it would have a zero success rate...

Finally, the wife of the Minister of National Defense found Shangguan Jiulin through unknown channels. The main doctor in charge was a very famous neurosurgeon in Country A with thirty years of medical experience...

After seeing the 19-year-old Shangguan Jiulin, he immediately objected to her performing the surgery and questioned her medical skills, saying that she was just a child who studied surgery and did not understand the complexity and fragility of the human brain. He told her to go home and dream instead of performing surgery...

Many doctors and relatives were present at the time, but the numerous doubts did not affect Shangguan Jiulin at all. She stood there indifferently, like an iceberg snow lotus that had been isolated from the world, not affected by any verbal attacks...

In the end, the President of Country A was even alerted, but the wife of the Minister of National Defense insisted on her view, stating that since no one could save her husband, she was willing to take a gamble. Due to the wife of the Minister of National Defense's trust, Shangguan Jiulin agreed to perform the surgery publicly...

Apparently, it was surgery live-streamed in Country A and all over the world...

Apparently, it was a surgery that amazed the world...

Apparently, it was the birth of a miracle...

It is said that after the six-hour surgery, the doctors and professors who previously questioned had all knelt down to apologize and wanted to take Shangguan Jiulin as their master...

Since then, the 19-year-old Shangguan Jiulin has become a legend in the medical field, performing incredible surgeries with ease...

Not only were her medical skills divine, but her background was also mysterious! Even the FBI could not trace her origins. The only thing people knew about her was a name and her divine medical skills...

Back in the presidential suite, Shangguan Jiulin took a bath and changed into comfortable pajamas. She threw herself onto the sofa and turned on the TV to watch today's news...

Unsurprisingly, the news was reporting her surgery on the President of M country. She switched to a music channel, somewhat bored and listened to Korean songs that she didn't particularly like...

Then, she went back to the comfortable big bed, closed her eyes, and fell asleep. Every time she completed a surgery, she felt particularly exhausted, so no matter what happened, she always put it aside and slept...

Lingtian Continent, Demon Beast Forest

Uh uh...

Pain...

It hurts so much...

It felt as if someone had put her on fire and grilled her, with the fiery pain spreading from the inside to the outside, even her soul was aching...

Shangguan Jiulin bit her lip fiercely, but the pain brought no relief. She was in so much pain; she wanted to take out her scalpel and end her life in one cut...

The intense pain caused her to suddenly open her eyes, but she froze...

Without any hesitation, she closed her eyes again. After a while, she opened them once more, but the situation remained the same...

What was going on? Instead of a soft big bed and a luxurious presidential suite, there was fire in front of her! Thick, raging flames surrounded her, and this place was clearly a forest full of dense big trees...

She was trapped in the Sea of Fire, surrounded by trees. It seemed like she was deliberately trapped in the middle, with trees piled up on all sides, ready to burn her alive...

Shangguan Jiulin's mind went blank for a moment, unable to figure out what was going on. However, nothing else mattered; what was important was that she knew she didn't want to die, at least not by being burned alive...

With a swift motion, she stood up. She hadn't noticed while sitting on the ground, but upon standing, she almost scared herself to death...

Was that still her? Why did her body shrink after a nap? She was clearly 22 years old and 170cm tall, right? But looking at her current small body, not to mention the strange ancient clothes she was wearing, her body had transformed into that of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old bean sprout. What was going on?

The fire did not give Shangguan Jiulin much time to be lost in her thoughts. Being a bean sprout didn't matter; escaping was more important...

Shangguan Jiulin ripped off a sleeve, covered her mouth and nose, looked around, chose a direction, and rushed forward quickly. While the stacked trees were not completely burned, she climbed up gracefully and jumped out...
