Several years have passed since then...
As for this couple with some age difference, people might have their thoughts, but they only keep them in their hearts and dare not speak out loud.
The guy whose head was blown to bits by the Foolish Underworldâs captain earlier is a living example.
If Divine Doctor Ding speaks up now, wanting to have all these doctors killed, except perhaps for Miracle Doctor Mo and some others, the Foolish Underworld captain might indeed just do it directly.
That guy is now following Divine Doctor Dingâs every word to such an extent.
"Husband, are you here to pick me up?"
Ding Hui winked at Fang Yu from afar.
Fang Yu, while being vigilant of these people around, quickly walked towards Ding Hui, mainly cautious of Song Zhenrong. At this distance, no one else present has the qualifications to dare harm Ding Hui in front of him.
Only someone at Song Zhenrongâs level posed a certain threat.
Under everyoneâs gaze, Fang Yu reached Ding Huiâs side, grabbed her hand, and whispered.
"Stay close to me!"
Ding Huiâs smile grew, and she whispered in Fang Yuâs ear, "That letter...did you see it?"
Fang Yu felt a tickle in his ear from Ding Huiâs breath, but quickly suppressed the fluttering in his heart and whispered back.
"Weâll talk about it when we return."
Apart from a few doctors, everyone else around was from the Foolish Underworld.
If the Foolish Underworld had ill intentions, trying to break out with Ding Hui would be a bit troublesome.
Fang Yu didnât have much trust in Song Zhenrong or the Foolish Underworld, naturally not feeling safe here.
However, as Fang Yu started to leave, Song Zhenrong was the first to step forward, cupping his fists.
"Brother Diao, please wait. Divine Doctor Ding has done me a great favor. At least let me throw a banquet for Divine Doctor Ding, and after eating and drinking well, itâs not too late for you two to leave."
Song Zhenrong was quite polite, but he was met with just two words in response.
"Step aside."
Song Zhenrongâs actions froze, about to speak again to persuade them to stay, but he met Fang Yuâs cold gaze.
Song Zhenrong had no doubt that if he didnât step aside, this person would resort to force to make him yield.
Having no ill intentions in the first place, Song Zhenrong respectfully made way, only saying.
"Divine Doctor Ding, what you want, Iâll send it to the inn tomorrow, I wonât go back on my word!"
Someone else with less face might be thinking of dodging the debt now that the person was saved.
But Song Zhenrong wasnât like that; repaying kindness was a principle he had always upheld.
This time would be no exception.
Even though Song Zhenrong stepped aside, his subordinates seemed dissatisfied with Fang Yuâs attitude, glaring at Fang Yu until Song Zhenrong sternly ordered them to clear the path.
"Letâs go."
Fang Yu glanced at the thing on the sickbed, resembling a bloated corpse, then pulled Ding Hui away, striding out.
Ding Hui was smiling as she went, but hadnât finished speaking.
Not until they walked out to the street outside the medical hall, with no Foolish Underworld people around, did Ding Hui laughingly say.
"Song Zhenrong isnât malicious. With him there, the other Foolish Underworld people wouldnât dare do anything to us. Even if he dared to make a move or do something, I could immediately turn his sister into human fuel, exploding her into pieces to buy us an escape opportunity."
Fang Yu was somewhat displeased.
"Why didnât you wait in the inn for me?"
"It happened suddenly, the Foolish Underworld people showed up abruptly, and they were all around. Although there was a chance to escape, it already carried risks, and most importantly, just as I said in the letter, Song Xiâs condition now is quite delicate, worth my..."
As Ding Hui spoke, she noticed Fang Yu was staring at her.
Then, Ding Hui realized.
What Fang Yu meant wasnât the literal words.
He was complaining about why she acted without waiting for him, making him worried.
He was anxious about what if something happened to her, what would he do.
He was upset about why she didnât call him to face the unknown dangers together.
All sorts of emotions, all sorts of unspoken pressures, in fact, translated to two wordsâcare.
Ding Hui reached out with her other hand, using both hands to hold Fang Yuâs big hand tightly.
"It was my fault this time, I was impulsive, I promise, it wonât happen again... okay?"
Ding Hui looked up, her big eyes filled with innocence and adorableness.
At least to Fang Yu, it was like that.
Unlike Ding Huiâs usual strong demeanor, this gentleness and compliance made Fang Yu unable to bear the approach.
His ears burned a little, and he looked away.
"Next time, Iâll take you to the Forest Snake Gang, I wonât leave you alone in the inn."
Upon hearing this, Ding Hui just smiled.
She already knew that Fang Yu had forgiven her.
"By the way, what happened with Song Xi? I remember just breaking her bones, not cutting off her arm or drowning her..."
Fang Yu switched topics, indicating that the matter of Ding Hui risking her safety with the Foolish Underworld was considered closed.
Mentioning Song Xi, Ding Huiâs expression immediately showed excitement.
Unlike her restrained demeanor at the medical hall, rarely revealing emotional fluctuations. In front of Fang Yu, she was like a girl in love, lively, active, filled with emotion.
"It had nothing to do with you. According to Song Zhenrong, Song Xi was injured by that Defiled Blood Clone Demon after leaving the inn, which made her that way. The Defiled Blood Clone Demon is so interesting! If it really has this infective ability, capturing it alive could be of huge benefit to my research on Demon Martial Artistsâ demonization!"
Ding Hui spoke animatedly, occasionally gesturing to illustrate the demonâs importance.
If the doctors at the inn saw this, they might have had their jaws drop. The woman who faced such a nerve-racking treatment process without a change of expression, once thought to have a poker face, now appeared so vivid, like a different person.
"And, that Song Xi! Incredible, her wound almost resembles the signs of demonic blood corroding a human body after a Demon Martial Artistâs demonization goes out of control, but! Hereâs the key! But, Song Xi isnât a Demon Martial Artist!"
"Do you know what that means? It means that Defiled Blood Clone Demon might have the potential to transform humans into demons! Unfortunately, currently, itâs only a possible scenario, as the human bodyâs strong rejection reactions prevent this transformation from easily taking effect, instead creating fierce internal struggles between the body and the diseased changes, outwardly manifesting as persistent high fever and rapid deterioration of vital signs..."
Ding Hui continued talking incessantly, with Fang Yu only smiling and listening.
Actually, some of what she said later, Fang Yu couldnât quite follow.
But Fang Yu didnât mind being a listener, because Ding Hui seemed to have been holding back for a long time, and telling these things to those doctors might mean theyâd understand, even comprehend Ding Huiâs reasoning.
But Ding Hui obviously didnât want to communicate with those guys.
Fang Yu felt that Ding Hui wanted to talk to someone she could trust, even if that person might not understand those complex theories and deductions.
Thinking this, Fang Yu felt a sense of recognition and a warm feeling in his heart.
And at this moment, Ding Huiâs explanation was nearing its end.
"...I temporarily suppressed the rejection reaction of the demonic mutation inside Song Xiâs body, making Song Xiâs vital signs disguise into those of a demon to see if it could fool the disease source. How it progresses, I also need to constantly observe Song Xiâs bodily reactions before conducting the next targeted research. Itâs a pity itâs still not safe now, not enough research into this pathogen, otherwise Iâd like to inject this thing into myself. After all, part of my body is essentially a demonâs, the rejection reaction shouldnât be as strong, and would be relatively easier to handle a lot..."
Fang Yu rubbed his chin.
"So youâre saying we still need to check on her every few days?"
"Of course! This is quite an important test subject!"
