When Ling Tian once again visited the princess, she had already woken up.
Ling Tian conversed with the princess, inquiring about her physical sensations. To his surprise, the princess was already aware of the ghost fetus situation!
For a pregnant woman, learning that her fetus had miscarried was a devastating blow, one that ordinary people would find difficult to bear.
Especially when the pregnant woman discovered that the child she was carrying was a ghost fetus, something no mother could easily accept.
However, what Ling Tian admired was that this princess was truly extraordinary. Her resilience was exceptionally strong, and she accepted the matter with great composure.
This also put Ling Tian at ease, as there was no need for extensive psychological intervention or counseling.
One must understand that if a patient's psychological pressure is immense, it is highly detrimental to their treatment.
Seeing that the princess was in good condition, Ling Tian proceeded with acupuncture treatment.
Ling Tian continuously used his true essence to help the princess regulate her body and repair damaged cells. The princess felt very comfortable and fell asleep again during the treatment.
After the treatment was completed, King Hajif personally met with Ling Tian and Yu Gong Jieyi, and then presented each of them with a check.
Ling Tian's check was for one hundred million US dollars, and Yu Gong Jieyi's was for fifty million US dollars.
Ling Tian couldn't help but marvel at the wealth of the royal family of Darussalam. This was almost the most generous remuneration Ling Tian had received since descending the mountain.
This was not the end. After they left the palace, old Arroyo also personally met with them and gave each of them a check for twenty million US dollars.
Although the princess did not give birth to a son this time, Ling Tian had solved the problem of the ghost fetus, saved the princess's life, and also helped the Arroyo family avert a major crisis.
From then on, Ling Tian and his companions were at ease. They only needed to return for one more acupuncture session to complete the treatment.
The King had also arranged for dedicated personnel to accompany Ling Tian and the others on their tour of various places within Darussalam.
Although the country was not large, its tourism resources were abundant.
However, compared to the cultural attractions, Ling Tian and Ali preferred natural scenery.
One day, Ling Tian, Ali, and Yu Gong Jieyi boarded a renowned cruise ship in Darussalam.
The royal family had sent personnel to accompany and serve them. The ship circled the coastline of Darussalam during the day and docked at the pier in the evening. The pier was also a local attraction, with many good dining options nearby.
Ali and Ling Tian and the others went to the top deck of the cruise ship to have a meal. It cost hundreds of thousands of US dollars to dine there.
Ali and Yu Gong Jieyi were dressed very demurely that day. Yu Gong Jieyi was not wearing her usual shrine maiden attire.
Both she and Ali were wearing hot pants and crop tops. These two beauties, with their distinct styles, surrounded Ling Tian, attracting an immense amount of envy from others.
The gazes of the male creatures seemed as if they wanted to tear Ling Tian apart and replace him.
Enjoying the sea breeze and embracing each other while savoring seafood prepared by world-class chefs, which were served dish by dish, Ali and Ling Tian began to feast.
Although Yu Gong Jieyi did not eat like a starving ghost reincarnated, as the other two did, she very much enjoyed watching them eat.
However, they did not notice that, a few hundred meters away, on the shore, behind the giant neon lights of a five-story building, a gun barrel was stealthily extending.
The gun barrel was fitted with a light-absorbing camouflage cloth, making it difficult to detect at night.
This was the barrel of a sniper rifle, and the crosshairs of the scope were already aimed at Ling Tian.
On the top floor of this building, two people were lying prone. One was the sniper, and the other was the spotter.
The person wielding the sniper rifle was named Gui Yi, the leader of the "Three Ghosts" from Thailand. The spotter was named Gui Er, naturally the second in rank.
As for Gui San, he was keeping watch at the small door leading to the top floor.
The three of them had received an astonishingly large order from the "One Hundred Million Life-Taking Network." After calculating, they deemed the mission not too difficult and the rewards exceptionally generous, so they accepted without hesitation.
"Distance 850 meters, wind direction northwest, wind speed 3.3 meters per second, air humidity 82%..."
The spotter, Gui Er, held a pair of binoculars, while Gui Yi continuously adjusted his firearm. They had previously achieved an astonishing feat of sniping a target at 1300 meters, so this distance posed no significant challenge for them.
Soon, the firearm was adjusted, and Gui Yi placed his finger on the trigger, beginning to regulate his breathing. Meanwhile, Ling Tian and Ali were engaged in lively conversation and toasting.
"Come, Jieyi, cheers...
Ali, you feel it too, right!" Ling Tian suddenly said to Ali.
Ali's pupils instantly dilated. She was Ling Tian's beast companion, and they were telepathically connected.
At that moment, Ling Tian sensed the arrival of danger, and Ali felt it as well.
"Now!"
Gui Yi, holding the sniper rifle, finally found his rhythm. This was the feeling of a top sniper, where the target, the crosshairs, and the trigger all aligned into a single line!
"Bang!"
The bullet traveled over 800 meters almost instantly, heading for Ling Tian's temple.
However, when the bullet was less than 30 centimeters away from Ling Tian's temple, a space ripple the size of a palm suddenly appeared in the bullet's trajectory.
The bullet immediately plunged into the space ripple.
Almost simultaneously, another space ripple appeared, aimed at the direction from which the bullet had come, and the bullet emerged from it.
Gui Yi was still observing the target through the sniper rifle's scope. He was savoring the moment the bullet pierced the target's head.
However, after waiting for several seconds, Ling Tian was still toasting and drinking, seemingly not even hearing the gunshot.
Just then, a sound like a watermelon being smashed suddenly reached his ears.
Gui Yi quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. He saw that his brother, Gui Er, had a finger-sized hole in his forehead.
And at the back of Gui Er's head, a fist-sized hole, accompanied by red and white matter and碎肉, had been ejected!
"This... this is impossible!"
Gui Yi's eyes widened in disbelief at what he was seeing. As someone skilled in sniping, he knew exactly what it felt like to be hit by a sniper rifle bullet.
And the gruesome state of his brother at this moment was precisely what it looked like to be hit by a sniper rifle bullet!
So, he quickly raised his sniper rifle and used the scope to search for the sniper on the opposite side. However, there was no sniper to be found. This was because Ali had directly opened a spatial portal, and the bullet had passed through the spatial portal and then flown back.
