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-click—no 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 Yu’s days had been far from easy.
Because he had been surprised to discover that Ying Huo had changed—and in a very strange way!
Every night she would appear silently at his side, then in a perfectly serious tone ask, “Have you slept?”
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 wouldn’t say a word—each night she came as before to offer her greeting.
It was driving him nearly insane.
So he went to Yu Buxia and asked, “What on earth is wrong with Ying Huo?”
Yu Buxia’s answer made Ye Yu immediately want to run away.
“I suspect she injured her brain in that last battle—she’s gone mad. Lately, don’t mention you, even I’ve been driven crazy by her. You know? She’s started smiling at me for no reason and asking if I went to see you today.”
“I’m really curious—what’s ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) wrong with her? Should we find someone to check her brain?”
Ye Yu’s 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 didn’t go her way, she could unleash Star Fragmentation again—entirely possible!
So Ye Yu immediately began to prepare his escape.
“Well, Lord Yu, I suddenly remembered I have something important to do. I’ll head back first. As for finding a divine doctor, you go ahead. And about helping you fuse those items—I definitely haven’t forgotten. Once the materials arrive, just find me anytime!”
Ye Yu knew he still owed Yu Buxia a favor. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help, but Buxia had said the materials weren’t all gathered yet and asked him to wait.
Plus Little White still hadn’t woken.
That was why he’d lingered so long in Equal City—otherwise he would have left ages ago.
Now, however, he really had to go! Even if Little White didn’t awaken, he had to leave—otherwise it would be far too dangerous!
Ye Yu turned to leave, but Yu Buxia seemed to have anticipated exactly this.
He seized Ye Yu’s sleeve, his face icy as he said, “What do you mean? You plan to leave me alone to deal with Ying Huo? Let me tell you—if she can go mad, so can I, and I can be even crazier than her. If you dare to go, I’ll have an episode. Do you believe me?”
Hearing this, Ye Yu froze.
Wasn’t that just pure blackmail?
He didn’t expect a master’s grace, but at least don’t shatter your own strong-man image, okay?
Episode at the drop of a hat?
Fine—so ruthless!
Perhaps seeing Ye Yu’s expression darken, Yu Buxia immediately softened his tone.
“Fellow Daoist, don’t 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. It’s simple—I’ll call him here. He’ll cure Ying Huo, and we’ll all be happy. Isn’t that lovely?”
Ye Yu asked in return, “And if he can’t cure her?”
“If he can’t cure her, the Divine Realm will be without a Medical God from then on.”
Yu Buxia’s tone was calm, yet it carried boundless murderous intent.
Ye Yu forced out a polite smile.
Fine—birds 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. I’ve 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 Buxia’s 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, “Lord Yu, long time no see. How have you been? May I ask who I’m here to treat this time?”
“Shh, don’t mention the word ‘patient.’ My friend has gone mad—I’m afraid her emotions will flare up. So we must proceed quietly.”
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, “Madness? Loss of mind? Child’s play. I only need three injections, and all symptoms will vanish. I have that confidence!”
Ye Yu and Yu Buxia exchanged glances and nodded repeatedly.
Confidence was good—it 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 Lord’s hall.
But they hadn’t 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 who’d come to visit.
Before he could speak, however, Ying Huo’s expression darkened and she said in a harsh voice, “You old man—with that medicine box behind your back, do you want to die?”
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, “In this situation, what should we do?”
“What should we do? Of course, save her! If Ying Huo actually kills the Medical God, how will her illness be cured?”
Yu Buxia immediately transformed into a beam of light and flew off into the distance!
But Ye Yu did not move.
Hmm—now 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 more—clearly to prevent him from running away!
