There was no heartbeat, not at all.
Qian Xianxian was instantly startled, then directly pulled open Ji Mo's bath towel collar and pressed her head against his chest to sense carefully.
At this moment, Ruan Tian also rushed over.
He immediately reprimanded, "Hey, what are you doing? Can you be more reserved? Just because he's handsome, you're pouncing on him and giving yourself away. What kind of behavior is that?"
Then he turned to remind Ruan Xingqing, "Little sister, you can't learn from Xianxian. Stay away from this dead girl in the future, lest you get corrupted."
Qian Xianxian had already let go of Ji Mo and retreated, her expression extremely unnatural. She retorted, "I'm the one being corrupted, okay? I just snuggled. Sister Xingqing not only snuggled but also kissed."
"What? You've only known each other for a short time, and you're already kissing? If you spend a few more days together, won't you... be making babies? Little sister, although I'm usually strict with you, you can't be like this. How can you be so unrestrained..."
Ruan Tian was heartbroken and so angry he almost exploded.
Ruan Xingqing's forehead was covered in black lines. She pointed at Ji Mo and mumbled, "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? He... seems to have no heartbeat."
"How is that possible? Isn't he standing there fine?"
Ruan Tian didn't believe it at all, but seeing Qian Xianxian nod repeatedly at him, he became suspicious.
He walked towards Ji Mo curiously, lowered his head, and also wanted to listen to his heartbeat.
But a hand reached out and stopped him.
"Brother-in-law, no."
Ji Mo's face was full of rejection, and he shook his head at Ruan Tian.
It was one thing for girls to snuggle, but for a rough guy like you to want to do this, it's not appropriate.
Although he was suffering from amnesia, he instinctively knew that boys needed to protect themselves.
Ruan Tian's face turned ashen. He grabbed Ji Mo's wrist and felt for his pulse.
Indeed, there was not a single beat.
But what was strange was that Ji Mo's body was not cold; his body temperature was even slightly higher than normal.
"Holy crap, could it be that he really ate my fake Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir and something went wrong?"
Ruan Tian felt a chill of fear.
It was fortunate that Ji Mo ate it. If Ruan Xingqing had eaten it, who knows what serious problems might have occurred. That was close.
Damn it, fake medicine harms people!
He would find that damned swindler to settle the score when he had the chance.
"There's breathing, but no heartbeat. What's going on? Could this guy be a corpse returning to life, or an evil spirit possessing a corpse?"
Ruan Tian was so scared he retreated repeatedly, a chill running down his spine.
It was too creepy.
Qian Xianxian was not afraid at first, but hearing Ruan Tian's words, her little face turned pale, and she quickly hid behind Ruan Xingqing.
Just then, the sun rose, and the morning sun gradually ascended.
Rosy clouds filled the horizon, and golden sunlight spread like ripples, falling on Ji Mo's body.
His body emitted a hazy halo, his face was delicate, his eyes were as clear as autumn water, and his whole being was as pure as an unblemished crystal.
"Even if this silly guy is a ghost, he's a good ghost."
Qian Xianxian gazed at Ji Mo blankly, her fear completely gone.
Ruan Tian felt as if he was bathed in spring breeze, his fear vanishing. He said, "Perhaps he really fell into a deviation in his cultivation and his body has a problem. We should send him to the hospital quickly, otherwise, if he suddenly dies, we won't be able to escape responsibility."
When he had grabbed Ji Mo's wrist earlier, he had felt a chaotic power within Ji Mo, leading him to believe that Ji Mo's cultivation had likely gone awry.
The three of them were too low in cultivation to discern Ji Mo's true condition.
Ruan Xingqing shook her head, "We can't send him to the hospital. With his current physical state, it might cause a major disturbance."
Qian Xianxian agreed and said, "Yes, it's possible he might mysteriously disappear. Recently, many young cultivators in the country have suddenly vanished. They say foreigners want to understand the secrets of our bloodline and have been secretly capturing these people for dissection and research."
In recent times, there had indeed been many missing person cases, most of whom were cultivators.
Therefore, Ruan Xingqing and Qian Xianxian did not agree to send Ji Mo to the hospital, lest they attract those with ulterior motives.
The main reason was that Ji Mo's origins were unknown, and he seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mystery. It was best not to draw attention.
"Alright, let him stay with us for a few days. Once I figure out his true identity, we'll make other arrangements."
Although Ruan Tian didn't want to attract unnecessary trouble, considering that Ji Mo had eaten the fake elixir and thus blocked a disaster for Ruan Xingqing, he didn't say much more.
After all, he felt that Ji Mo was too strange, and he might be a big trouble.
Moreover, the Ruan family had been attracting attention recently, so it was best to mind their own business to avoid getting into trouble.
However, fate is so peculiar. This decision instantly opened up a new chapter, bringing unimaginable blessings to the Ruan family.
It was rumored that an Eastern deity had briefly displayed divine power, shocking the world.
Many deities from abroad were alerted and dispatched a large number of personnel to investigate the situation.
At the same time, they inquired through diplomatic channels whether China truly had a deity returning.
"It's just a normal astronomical phenomenon, please do not over-interpret it."
The news department responded.
It was unclear whether the officials were being cunning or honest.
But foreigners would naturally not believe such a statement.
Normal astronomical phenomenon? Are they trying to fool us like three-year-olds?
Foreigners didn't believe it, but Chinese people did.
After all, they had too many expectations and hopes, but they had been disappointed time and time again, and no longer believed in the existence of deities in China.
Inside the villa.
After Ruan Tian arranged for people to investigate Ji Mo's identity, he browsed the relevant news while fiddling with a pile of jade thumb rings, sighing, "With no more deities appearing, in another year or two, the Western gods will likely raise their swords against us."
Qian Xianxian stayed with Ji Mo, using her phone to explain the current world's information to him.
Whether it was due to amnesia or something else, she felt that Ji Mo seemed to be disconnected from Earth for more than a decade, and needed to relearn many things.
At the same time, Qian Xianxian also asked Ji Mo what he remembered, and the only responses were a few words:
Bao'er Jie, Chun Tian Hua Hua, dead old man.
Ruan Xingqing, however, was acting strangely, confining herself to her room and refusing to see anyone.
For some unknown reason, she felt that something was very wrong with her.
Her body was burning hot, her pretty face was flushed, and her breathing was becoming increasingly heavy.
It seemed that after giving Ji Mo mouth-to-mouth resuscitation in the morning, she suddenly felt abnormal.
"No way, it was just a kiss, how could it have such a strong aftereffect? Could I be an improper girl who is now infatuated..."
Ruan Xingqing buried herself in the quilt, feeling embarrassed.
She was restless, feeling her blood surging uncontrollably, her entire body as if on fire, and feeling uncomfortable all over.
Ruan Xingqing did not know that by giving Ji Mo mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, she had inadvertently swallowed a trace of Ji Mo's blood, and her body had received unimaginable benefits, beginning to transform.
Outside.
Thousands of sanitation workers in special uniforms inexplicably appeared in the city.
These people roamed the streets and residential areas, not cleaning, but rather searching for something.
Only a few people knew that these were not real sanitation workers, but a major operation by the country's special departments.
The relevant departments had detected that the myriad stars of the previous night had fallen into this area, hence the large-scale action to investigate the truth.
However, they found nothing.
Until nightfall, a major explosion occurred at a suburban waste treatment plant.
A garbage incinerator inexplicably exploded.
Amidst the soaring flames, a tattered piece of clothing, stained with blood, flowed with radiant splendor.
