After some time had passed, although Little White still had not awakened, its condition had completely stabilized.
The Shen Kangren fragments in its belly had been fully digested.
Its divine power was also constantly increasing.
Yu Buxia thought that the reason Little White still had not woken was that it had not yet fully mastered the divine power coursing through its body. Once it woke, it would very likely advance further and become a Golden Divine-Realm divine beast!
Click-click-clickâno one would believe it: a celestial beast from the Heavenly Realm, in less than half a year since arriving in the Divine Realm, was preparing to break through to the Golden Divine Realm.
That must drive so many talented divine-race cultivators crazy!
During this time, however, Ye Yuâs days had been far from easy.
Because he had been surprised to discover that Ying Huo had changedâand in a very strange way!
Every night she would appear silently at his side, then in a perfectly serious tone ask, âHave you slept?â
He would think to himself, Sister, when have you ever been so polite?
What divine maiden comes out in the dead of night to scare gods?
Ye Yu once asked Ying Huo what she wanted, but she wouldnât say a wordâeach night she came as before to offer her greeting.
It was driving him nearly insane.
So he went to Yu Buxia and asked, âWhat on earth is wrong with Ying Huo?â
Yu Buxiaâs answer made Ye Yu immediately want to run away.
âI suspect she injured her brain in that last battleâsheâs gone mad. Lately, donât mention you, even Iâve been driven crazy by her. You know? Sheâs started smiling at me for no reason and asking if I went to see you today.â
âIâm really curiousâwhatâs †NĐŸvĐ”â ight †(Read more on our source) wrong with her? Should we find someone to check her brain?â
Ye Yuâs mouth twitched twice.
Brain injury? Madness?
That was extremely dangerous!
He had to remember that Ying Huo was not an ordinary goddess, but one who wielded Ancient-God-Realm power. If one day things didnât go her way, she could unleash Star Fragmentation againâentirely possible!
So Ye Yu immediately began to prepare his escape.
âWell, Lord Yu, I suddenly remembered I have something important to do. Iâll head back first. As for finding a divine doctor, you go ahead. And about helping you fuse those itemsâI definitely havenât forgotten. Once the materials arrive, just find me anytime!â
Ye Yu knew he still owed Yu Buxia a favor. It wasnât that he didnât want to help, but Buxia had said the materials werenât all gathered yet and asked him to wait.
Plus Little White still hadnât woken.
That was why heâd lingered so long in Equal Cityâotherwise he would have left ages ago.
Now, however, he really had to go! Even if Little White didnât awaken, he had to leaveâotherwise it would be far too dangerous!
Ye Yu turned to leave, but Yu Buxia seemed to have anticipated exactly this.
He seized Ye Yuâs sleeve, his face icy as he said, âWhat do you mean? You plan to leave me alone to deal with Ying Huo? Let me tell youâif she can go mad, so can I, and I can be even crazier than her. If you dare to go, Iâll have an episode. Do you believe me?â
Hearing this, Ye Yu froze.
Wasnât that just pure blackmail?
He didnât expect a masterâs grace, but at least donât shatter your own strong-man image, okay?
Episode at the drop of a hat?
Fineâso ruthless!
Perhaps seeing Ye Yuâs expression darken, Yu Buxia immediately softened his tone.
âFellow Daoist, donât feel too much pressure. I, the God of Balance, have mingled in the Divine Realm for a million years. I have countless friends and connections everywhere. I happen to know a Medical God. Itâs simpleâIâll call him here. Heâll cure Ying Huo, and weâll all be happy. Isnât that lovely?â
Ye Yu asked in return, âAnd if he canât cure her?â
âIf he canât cure her, the Divine Realm will be without a Medical God from then on.â
Yu Buxiaâs tone was calm, yet it carried boundless murderous intent.
Ye Yu forced out a polite smile.
Fineâbirds of a feather flock together. The eleventh-ranked close friend of the Evil Alliance would certainly be evil too. He should have realized it sooner.
Ah, whatever. Iâve boarded the pirate ship by mistake. I can only wait and see!
Ye Yu nodded resignedly and began to pray that this Medical God would be reliable.
Sure enough, Yu Buxiaâs connections were vast. That very night, the Medical God arrived as promised.
His hair and beard were entirely white. He carried a medicine box on his back and wore a serene expression.
He looked like someone of exceptional medical skill!
Upon meeting them, he politely cupped his fist and said, âLord Yu, long time no see. How have you been? May I ask who Iâm here to treat this time?â
âShh, donât mention the word âpatient.â My friend has gone madâIâm afraid her emotions will flare up. So we must proceed quietly.â
Yu Buxia glanced around cautiously, afraid Ying Huo might be nearby.
But the Medical God was wholly unconcerned. He flicked his sleeve with supreme confidence and said, âMadness? Loss of mind? Childâs play. I only need three injections, and all symptoms will vanish. I have that confidence!â
Ye Yu and Yu Buxia exchanged glances and nodded repeatedly.
Confidence was goodâit meant he believed he could cure her.
These were exactly the kind of people they needed!
After a few pleasantries, the three headed toward the Equal City Lordâs hall.
But they hadnât gone two steps when they ran into Ying Huo!
Yu Buxia immediately prepared to greet her, already planning to say that the Medical God was a friend passing through whoâd come to visit.
Before he could speak, however, Ying Huoâs expression darkened and she said in a harsh voice, âYou old manâwith that medicine box behind your back, do you want to die?â
Before her words had even fallen, a violent aura shot skyward!
Ying Huo gripped her divine sword and charged forward, her murderous intent overwhelming.
Seeing this, the Medical God immediately crushed a talisman in his sleeve and began to flee.
Their figures vanished in an instant, leaving only Yu Buxia and Ye Yu standing dumbfounded, like clowns whose performance had ended before it began.
After a long moment, Ye Yu finally asked, âIn this situation, what should we do?â
âWhat should we do? Of course, save her! If Ying Huo actually kills the Medical God, how will her illness be cured?â
Yu Buxia immediately transformed into a beam of light and flew off into the distance!
But Ye Yu did not move.
Hmmânow that no one was around, should he take Little White and run?
That thought had barely formed when it was crushed at birth.
Yu Buxia returned again, grabbed Ye Yu by the sleeve, and flew off once moreâclearly to prevent him from running away!
