Kang Shenxing was in unbearable pain, and his body was extremely weak.
Suddenly, he felt a numbness spreading through his body, as if he couldn’t feel the pain anymore, and he collapsed straight to the ground.
Seeing Kang Shenxing knocked out, He Tiantian didn’t dare to delay. She quickly closed the door and locked it from the inside.
After securing the windows, she brought the oil lamps closer.
"The light is still too dim!"
He Tiantian glanced at the makeshift "operating room" and sighed to herself.
She retrieved a complete set of surgical instruments from Dian Niang Book Library, disinfected everything, laid out towels, put on gloves, and took over Kang Shenxing’s severed arm.
Then she secured the medical microscope and began the reattachment surgery on Kang Shenxing’s arm.
By rights, such a surgery couldn’t be done alone.
But there was no choice under the circumstances.
Fortunately, He TianTian had performed many surgeries in her previous world, including tendon suturing and limb reattachment.
The related skills and procedures were ingrained in her memory.
Even more fortunate was that the Treasure Box rewarded by Dian Niang Book Library was incredibly helpful.
Surgical instruments, consumables, microscopes—nothing was missing.
This allowed He Tiantian to be able to utilize her skills.
After over two hours had passed and the sky outside had turned completely dark, and the thunder and lightning seemed to have faded,
He Tiantian finally reattached Kang Shenxing’s arm.
After applying a splint and wrapping the arm, ensuring everything was secure, He Tiantian took off the gloves, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and let out a long breath.
Although she had successfully attached the protagonist’s severed arm, the recovery would still require a long time.
Moreover, there was no way to intervene in the potential postoperative complications like inflammation and pain in ancient times.
"...Well, it doesn’t matter, after all, Kang Shenxing is the male lead!" He Tiantian comforted herself in this way.
It wasn’t self-deception; after all, this world is the Martial World, where too much logic need not be applied.
For example, in the original story, Kang Shenxing ran out in the pouring rain after his arm was chopped off.
He reached the forest, and even dug a hole to bury his own severed arm, o(╯□╰)o.
During this time, rainwater and soil... everything was a source of infection.
But Kang Shenxing was still alright, wasn’t he?
Just by consuming a snake gallbladder, he managed to get through it.
The wound wasn’t infected, and without treatment, his severed arm miraculously bounced back to life.
And this time, He Tiantian meticulously followed surgical procedures, disinfected and sutured while trying to minimize any potential contamination.
Kang Shenxing himself was a martial artist with a strong physique, protected by his inner strength, and had the powerful Protagonist Halo to potentially see him through the various post-surgery risks.
Oh, right, there was also the thousand-year-old snow ginseng!
He Tiantian remembered a key factor. Besides, she also needed to tell her parents about this.
After all, Kang Shenxing being anesthetized was only temporary; once he woke up, the subsequent handling of the situation would require He Yichong and Tian Dan.
He Tiantian took another look at Kang Shenxing, whom she had laid on the bed. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, she guessed that the anesthetic hadn’t worn off yet.
She didn’t delay any further but rose to find her parents.
"What? You, you actually chopped off Shenxing’s arm?" He Yichong was shocked and couldn’t believe what he was hearing from his daughter.
"Brother Chong, don’t rush to blame Fufu; let’s go and see Shenxing first,"
Tian Dan was indeed wise, very clever at diverting conflict.
She said with concern and desperately signaled He Tiantian with her eyes.
He Tiantian just pouted her mouth stubbornly and said, "It’s not my fault, who asked her to defame my innocence and hit me?"
"Dad, Mom, from childhood to now, whether it was Grandfather or you, neither of you ever hit me. Kang Shenxing was raised by our family, so how dare he hit me?"
"He even stole away my brother, hmph, he must be in cahoots with Kunpengzi, deliberately letting Kunpengzi kidnap Jinyan in an attempt to flee to Wuyou Island for an antidote!"
He Yichong had already been distracted by Tian Dan’s intercession, thinking eagerly of visiting Kang Shenxing.
However, upon listening to He Tiantian’s words, his anger flared up once again.
He exclaimed angrily, "He Tiantian, how dare you still talk?!"
She had done wrong and still hadn’t learned her lesson.
He Yichong had been a hero for over ten years, and now he had founded the Righteous Martial Army to assist the court in guarding Xiang City, no longer the naive young man he was when he first descended from the mountain.
His every word and deed now carried the demeanor of a superior.
And being the straightforward man he was, the trait he couldn’t stand the most was an unrepentant attitude.
Reminiscent of the past, his junior brother Kang Yimo was repeatedly making mistakes despite knowing better and had died without any remorse.
