Chapter 38: Repaying Kindness with Revenge

"A doctor, of course," Ye Bufan said. "However, I am a Legacy holder of ancient Chinese Medical skill. Ancient Chinese Medical skill emphasizes the unity of Medical skill, Martial Dao, and arcane arts.

That is to say, a good ancient Chinese Medical skill practitioner must also be an excellent Master of Arcane Arts and a Martial Artist."

He Shuangshuang patted her prominent chest and said, "I never thought such things truly existed in the world. I used to think all of that was fake."

Recalling the terrifying scene she had just witnessed, she couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. It was truly too frightening.

Seemingly discerning her thoughts, Ye Bufan chuckled, "I thought Young Miss He was fearless, yet she's afraid of such things."

He Shuangshuang glared at him and said, "What's there to be ashamed of? I'm a girl, so it's perfectly normal to be afraid of such things."

"Are you a girl?" Ye Bufan asked, feigning surprise, then playfully scanned her up and down before saying, "It seems you really are."

"You…"

This made He Shuangshuang recall the ambiguous situation from earlier, her cheeks flushing. She glared fiercely at him, then asked, "Tell me, what exactly is going on with this Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community?"

Speaking of serious matters, Ye Bufan's expression also became solemn. He said, "This community is strange. Someone has set up a very powerful Formation here to gather Yin Qi. It's because of the abundant Yin Qi that those evil entities are born."

He Shuangshuang asked, "Are the previous cases and my colleagues' hospitalizations related to this?"

"Of course they are. Those workers who went mad were hallucinating because Yin Qi entered their bodies, which is why they acted so wildly.

Your colleagues are the same; it's just that they spent less time in the community, so they only fell into a temporary coma and didn't lose their minds."

Ye Bufan continued, "The longer the Formation operates, the heavier the Yin Qi in the community becomes. If it were ten days ago, coming here would at most cause you to fall seriously ill, not experience this sudden coma.

If the Formation continues to operate, the Yin Qi here will become increasingly dense, and the evil entities will grow stronger, which will eventually become a huge disaster for the entire Jiangnan City."

He Shuangshuang nervously asked, "Then what should we do?"

She was a favored daughter of heaven, and coupled with the He Family's power, this was the first time in so many years she had felt so helpless.

"It's nothing, you don't need to be nervous. I

came too hastily this time and didn't make any preparations. Once I go back and prepare some Talismans and Magical Artifacts, I will definitely dismantle the Formation here within three days."

"Oh! That's great."

He Shuangshuang now had an inexplicable trust in Ye Bufan. She let out a sigh of relief and said, "Then what can I do?"

"Seal this place off. Don't let anyone else enter for three days, or more accidents will occur."

Ever since witnessing those things, He Shuangshuang was convinced by what he said. She nodded and said, "I understand. I'll seal off this place first thing tomorrow morning. Is there anything else?"

"No, that's all you need to do for now. I'll handle everything else."

"Oh!" He Shuangshuang replied, then asked, "Um, I also wanted to ask, if you hadn't come tonight, what would have happened to me?"

"Does that even need asking? You'd be dead beyond a doubt!" Ye Bufan said. "Have you seen pictures of mummified corpses? You'd look like that, not only dead from having your Yang Qi drained but also incredibly ugly."

He intended to scare this girl; in reality, it wasn't that serious. Although He Shuangshuang would definitely die if he didn't come, her corpse would not look any different from a normal person's.

As expected, every woman cares about her appearance. At his words, He Shuangshuang's face instantly turned pale with fright, and she felt a surge of lingering fear.

"Then… then… then… thank you!"

He Shuangshuang said in a low voice.

She was a very stubborn person. Ye Bufan had previously cured He Changqing and helped her deal with Iron Head. At that time, although she was grateful, she still hadn't expressed her thanks in person.

This time was different. Ye Bufan had risked so much to save her life, which completely changed her impression of this Young man.

Ye Bufan said with a playful expression, "You really should thank me properly. Do you know how much I sacrificed to save you?"

Thinking of the terrifying evil entities, He Shuangshuang asked worriedly, "Was the sacrifice very great?"

"Of course it was great! I lost my cherished first kiss of 20 years. That kind of sacrifice is irreplaceable."

"You…"

He Shuangshuang didn't expect Ye Bufan to sound so serious, only to realize he was teasing her.

"You bad thing, you clearly took advantage of me."

Ye Bufan said, "Do you think I wanted to? You don't know how urgent the situation was at the time.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

If I hadn't sacrificed a large amount of my vital True Essence, you would already be a mummy."

He Shuangshuang's cheeks flushed, and she said, "Alright then, to show my gratitude, I'll give you a chance to pursue me."

After what happened tonight, her feelings for Ye Bufan had changed from dislike to an inexplicable fondness, something she had never felt before.

But to her surprise, Ye Bufan shook his head and said, "Let's not, I don't want this chance."

He Shuangshuang's expression changed, and she said angrily, "What, am I not good enough for you, Young Miss?"

Ye Bufan said, "When others offer themselves in marriage, it's to repay a kindness. But for a violent woman like you, offering yourself in marriage is completely repaying kindness with enmity."

"You… you… I'll fight you!"

He Shuangshuang said, raising her fist as if to fight. Seeing that things were going south, Ye Bufan pointed behind her and exclaimed, "That thing is back!"

"Ah…"

He Shuangshuang let out a shriek, forgetting about bothering Ye Bufan, and once again transformed into a koala bear, clinging tightly to him.

Ye Bufan chuckled inwardly. He had finally found this Nv Baolong (Female Tyrant)'s weakness: she was afraid of dirty things.

But just then, a soft sensation, accompanied by a hint of sweetness, came from his lips.

It turned out that in her haste, He Shuangshuang hadn't adjusted her posture properly, and the two of them had accidentally kissed.

Neither of them had expected this to happen. For a moment, they both froze there, like two statues.

After a while, they slowly recovered from their shock, but they didn't separate. Instead, they continued to kiss like lovers.

Earlier, in the Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community, because of the evil entities nearby, Ye Bufan didn't dare to entertain such thoughts.

But now it was different. It was late at night, and he was holding such a beautiful woman. If he didn't make some kind of move, he wouldn't be a man.

Strictly speaking, this was their true first kiss.

After a long while, they slowly separated. He Shuangshuang jumped down from him, her face flushed, and said, "You scoundrel, you took advantage of me again."

Ye Bufan said, "Sister, can you please get it straight? You're the one who ran over and took advantage of me."

"I'm too lazy to bother with you."

He Shuangshuang raised her hand and hailed a taxi, then got in and left.

Ye Bufan licked his lips. "It tasted pretty good."
