This was the first time Li Muchen directly witnessed Lu Sheng using her inhuman abilities.
The deep crimson flame hovering above the girl’s palm flickered and pulsated, looking both eerie and unpredictable. It was a strong visual shock, sending a shiver through one’s heart.
Lu Sheng had used Soul Power before, but it was always in secret, hidden from Li Muchen and others, afraid they would notice something abnormal.
But now, having come clean to her lover and with Li Muchen knowing her true identity, there was no longer a need to hide or evade.
Li Muchen walked toward Lu Sheng and realized that the flame not only illuminated the area around the bed and Old Mr. Shi lying on it.
Old Mr. Shi was dressed in blue-striped, soft cotton-linen pajamas.
Under the glow of the flame, the exposed skin of Old Mr. Shi’s neck, wrists, and ankles appeared translucent.
"This is..." Li Muchen couldn’t help but widen his eyes slightly, showing an expression of surprise.
"Help me take off Grandpa’s clothes and pants, leave just the underwear," Lu Sheng said to Li Muchen.
Li Muchen roughly guessed what the girl intended to do.
He took a deep breath and began unbuttoning Old Mr. Shi’s pajamas, then moved to remove his trousers.
After the clothes were removed, the elderly man’s emaciated, skeletal, and withered body, like it had been drained of nourishment, was exposed to the air, a sight that was heartbreaking.
But in the next moment, the flame in Lu Sheng’s hands illuminated Old Mr. Shi’s entire body.
Li Muchen was shocked by the miraculous scene before him—
Under the glow of the flame in Lu Sheng’s palm, the skin of Old Mr. Shi’s entire body became translucent.
He could clearly see the old man’s internal organs, including his head, chest, and abdomen, as well as the skeleton of his limbs and joints, and even the blood flowing through his veins.
It was like a transcendent, real-time MRI image, yet far more detailed and profound than any real-life MRI scan.
Every abnormality inside the patient’s body could be seen with absolute clarity.
... Incredible.
Was this the power of a demon?
Lu Sheng wasn’t distracted by any other thoughts, fully focused on examining Old Mr. Shi’s body.
This was her final attempt. If even this method couldn’t detect abnormalities, then the source of the illness might remain unsolvable.
If the root cause couldn’t be found, even she might not be able to save her grandfather.
Lu Sheng first placed her hands on Old Mr. Shi’s head, carefully examining its condition for any signs of tumors or abnormalities.
She then moved downward to the throat and thyroid area of his neck.
Further down was the chest cavity.
However, as the flame moved to the chest cavity, Lu Sheng seemed to notice something unusual. Her pupils contracted suddenly, and she appeared somewhat incredulous.
Li Muchen immediately leaned closer to her and asked seriously, "What is it, baby? Did you find the problem?"
Lu Sheng took a deep breath, raised her other hand, and pointed to Old Mr. Shi’s heart. "... Look here."
