Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Light

After singing two or three relatively quiet songs, Jiang Qin switched to one with a more powerful melody.

Initially, she considered that hospitals needed to be quiet, so she had chosen a couple of songs that were like lullabies.

But as she sang, she felt like even her own Spirit Sea was about to fall dormant.

So she switched to a song called “Light.”

“When ashes seal the frost-covered eaves

When the cornflower turns to late autumn’s dew

I’ll make a pack from stubborn, withered vines…”

The melody wasn’t high-pitched; it had the feeling of a story being gently told.

The hospital room was actually very well soundproofed, but Lan Yuyan silently cracked the door open.

The patients hospitalized in this area were all in comas due to excessively high Riot Values.

Being here couldn’t solve their problem. It only suppressed it, buying time while their families searched for a compatible Soothing Master.

So there wasn’t really any concern about disturbing other patients.

It might even help them a little.

If the singing managed to wake these comatose people, their families would probably show up bearing thank-you gifts.

Of course, if anyone was truly worried about being disturbed, they just had to close their room door.

For instance, even though he had cracked this room’s door open, the sound wouldn’t necessarily reach the room next door.

After all, most of the hospital room doors were kept tightly shut.

It could only be said that it all came down to a matter of fate.

…

As it happened, the room next door was indeed open.

Due to a shortage of resources, many rooms had several Medical Pods connected directly, as this allowed them to be linked to the same central control unit.

However, a maximum of only three could be connected.

So, in the regular ward area, there were many single rooms, but a good number of the Medical Pod rooms were shared.

Females could apply for a private room, but males could forget about it.

The inpatient population consisted mostly of single, High-level males, many of whom were not short on money.

The hospital, fearing that people would use power or money to get them to make exceptions, had long since made the rules on this matter ironclad.

So, even if family members objected, they had to share, unless they went home and used a private Medical Pod.

But at home, there would be no Medical Master to monitor the patient’s condition in real time. After all, professional Medical Masters were not easy to find.

You couldn’t hire the famous ones, and you wouldn’t dare use a recent graduate.

At that moment, two sets of family members were present.

Hearing the singing, a woman who looked to be in her early thirties frowned and said, “Go close the door.”

’I don’t know which room’s family it is,’ she thought. ’Playing music while visiting a patient… so inconsiderate.’

“Yes, alright.”

“Hey! Don’t close it! There are so many of us in here, it’ll get stuffy if you close the door!”

The woman’s brow remained tightly furrowed. “Ma’am, I’m only thinking of the patients.

The room has an air circulation and purification system, so how could it get stuffy? The noise, on the other hand, is more likely to affect the patients’ rest.”

“In any case, the door and windows are not to be closed. You might like cooping people up in here like it’s a prison, but our child doesn’t like it.

We want to open the door and windows to let the breeze in, so he can feel the breath of nature.”

The woman was speechless. ’…The breath of nature? The Medical Pods are fully enclosed. What the hell is he going to feel?’

But since the other person disagreed, she couldn’t have the final say.

After all, there were three patients lying in the room, and she was the mother of only one of them.

Since the mother of the male in the next pod adamantly refused to close the door and windows, she had no choice but to walk out of the room and follow the sound of the singing.

She intended to remind the person that they needed to be quiet in the hospital.

But when she reached the door of the room, she found herself listening, completely entranced…

“With my wings, I’ll stir the rolling waves on the horizon

With my body, I’ll hold up that blood-red sun

In this bone-chilling, biting gale

You will hear my cry in praise of the future

…”

Before she knew it, she had listened to the entire song.

Just as she was still immersed in that gentle yet powerful voice, a new song began inside.

It was another song that was calm on the surface, but from which one could hear a sense of hope.

She had already forgotten why she had come.

The family member who had accompanied her also remained silent, just standing quietly with her at the patient’s door.

Inside the room, Lan Yuyan and Long Hao both knew someone was outside the door, but neither was in the mood to care.

’Who could understand this feeling… being completely immersed in gentle energy…’

The rich Calming Power filling the entire room had drawn out all of their Spiritual Bodies.

The Bone Armor Bear, aware of its large size, obediently ran to a corner and squatted down, watching the hopping White Rabbit Spirit Body with longing.

The Demon Flame Flood Dragon glanced coolly at everyone before coiling its entire body around Yun Xie’s Medical Pod, where it lay down and closed its eyes to rest.

After emerging from between his brows, Cang Hong’s Black-winged Lion immediately tried to pounce on the White Rabbit Spirit Body.

But before it could, it was ensnared by Long Hao’s Spiritual Body, an enormous Black Dragon.

In the end, it could only be held to the side, looking aggrievedly at Jiang Qin’s Spiritual Body with hearts in its eyes.

As for Lan Yuyan’s little blue cat Spiritual Body, it emerged, haughtily found a high spot to lie down on, and refused to compete with the other Spiritual Bodies.

Lying in his Medical Pod, his Spirit Sea completely relaxed, Shi Lichuan felt it was a pity for Mo Chen.

It was a shame he hadn’t stayed in this room and had been transferred instead.

Otherwise, he might have been able to lower his Riot Value by a good amount this morning.

But he only felt pity for him for a moment before dismissing the thought.

’The man is an Admiral, after all. He probably won’t go berserk and die from a high Riot Value, right?’

A person of his status… the Federation’s high command would surely be proactive in arranging a Soothing Master for him. So, Shi Lichuan wasn’t worried.

…

After another two or three songs, Lan Yuyan and Long Hao couldn’t take it anymore. They pulled out foldable cots, the kind used for camping, and lay down on them.

By now, four of the males had fallen into a deep sleep.

Jiang Qin didn’t feel any fatigue in her spiritual power yet, so she didn’t pause for long, simply choosing a few more quiet songs to sing.

Outside the door, the male looked worriedly at his female master, who seemed about to turn into a stone statue, and asked, “Female master, should we still go in?”

The woman who had originally intended to remind them to be quiet…

“Ahem. Actually, I don’t think it’s good for the hospital to be too quiet. This is the perfect time of day for patients to listen to a little sound.”

Her two partners could only think one thing: ’Whatever the female master says is right!’

The woman’s gaze flickered with embarrassment for a moment.

“Let’s go back and check on our little one.”

“Mm.”

The three of them returned to their room to find the family member from the adjacent Medical Pod—the lady who had refused to close the door and windows—watching with an ecstatic expression as a Medical Master examined her child.

She asked curiously, “What’s going on with your little one?”

The woman who was asked looked thrilled, her voice choked with emotion as she said, “My little one just cried!”
