Is he trying to gain sympathy by revealing a bit of his identity?
Has Long Haotian been pushed to this point and is now ready to lay everything on the table?
Mu An squinted his eyes.
It seems he has been too merciful!
He actually gave the other party a chance to breathe!
"Increase the intensity of the hunt for Long Haotian!"
Due to the special nature of the Shadow Guards, Mu An could contact the Shadow Guard controlling the Old Dragon King's body from a distance.
This is what it means to use the emperor to command the lords!
Not to mention that the Old Dragon King's consciousness has long been locked away by Mu An.
He has already become a pure puppet!
…..
Soon, a series of orders were sent out from the Dragon King's Palace.
The main focus was to further intensify the hunt for Long Haotian!
This left many forces secretly astonished.
They had no idea what Long Haotian had done to provoke such anger from the Old Dragon King.
He even issued a kill order against him!
Could it be that Long Haotian accidentally slept with the Old Dragon King's former lover?
Or are the two of them acting out a play for some grand scheme?
Or did the master and disciple fall out over some issues?
They had many speculations.
But regardless of whether these speculations were correct, the most direct situation at the moment was:
Long Haotian, in danger (red)!!!
…..
[You have used [Plot Fragment*1]! This is a plot about the divine doctor protagonist preparing to heroically save the beauty!]
—————
[Xiao Bai previously suffered losses due to your covert actions, but he is still unwilling to accept it!]
[So, even though he is moving his body with great effort, he is determined to catch up with you and Tong Ziran!]
[When he arrives at the West Lake, he suddenly hears someone shouting for help from drowning!]
[Originally, he didn't want to get involved in this commotion.]
[After all, why should he care if someone else is drowning? He is indeed a divine doctor heir, but not everyone would recklessly jump in to save someone!]
[Until the remnant soul in the divine doctor inheritance reminded him that the drowning girl meets the requirements of his technique as a top-notch pure yin woman!]
[Xiao Bai was then moved and had ulterior motives!]
[The remnant soul used a secret method to temporarily boost his strength to escape the bizarre tenfold gravity, but the cost was that he fell into a deep sleep!]
[The 'normal' Xiao Bai deliberately approached Tong Ziran before jumping into the water, wanting to increase his favorability in her eyes!]
[Once he successfully saves the drowning person, he will not only earn her gratitude but also win the girl's affection, achieving his plan of killing two birds with one stone!]
[But unfortunately, he encountered you who were also present...]
—————
Mu An was a bit surprised.
The timing of this plot occurrence was unexpectedly close?
Does that mean that a poor soul will drown soon?
Moreover, thinking further, it was terrifying.
This poor soul happens to be a top-notch pure yin woman who meets Xiao Bai's requirements.
Does that mean she will be the female lead?
However, no matter whether the other party is the female lead or not, as long as Mu An is here,
Then Xiao Bai has nothing to do with it!
...
On the other side, Mu An and Tong Ziran were holding hands, strolling leisurely along the West Lake.
The greenery at Qingchuan University was well done, ranking among the best in the country!
The banks of West Lake were lined with graceful willows.
As the gentle breeze blew, they swayed like graceful beauties, stretching their waists and occasionally casting flirtatious glances at passersby!
The wind, after teasing the willow leaves, continued to wander.
It came without a trace and left without a sound, unintentionally rippling the surface of West Lake.
The water shimmered, reflecting the golden light.
One could see the sunset glow lingering, with countless beautiful scenes entering the eyes.
It was so pleasant that one couldn't help but want to lie in this intoxicating evening breeze and enjoy the beauty together!
"The color of the lake is so beautiful!"
'Because you are by my side, everything I see is beautiful now!'
The girl couldn't help but exclaim.
Of course, she didn't dare to say the latter part out loud!
Mainly because she was shy and didn't have the courage!
Besides, they hadn't seen each other for over ten years; how could one confess upon meeting?
If she were rejected, wouldn't that be very awkward?
Tong Ziran bit her cherry lips several times.
In the end, she didn't have the courage to express her true feelings.
'I'll wait for the next time! Let's get to know each other better before I say anything!'
The girl comforted herself in her heart.
In reality, she was still deterred by her inner coward!
[From Tong Ziran's retreating emotional fluctuation +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Lifespan +1 year]!]
[From Tong Ziran's nervous emotional fluctuation +25, congratulations, you have received the reward [One House in the School District Next to Qingchuan University*1]!
[From Tong Ziran's inner regret emotional fluctuation +30, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +30]!
…..
Mu An saw through it but said nothing.
Such matters shouldn't be pointed out by him!
Not to mention that if the other party later discovers that he has multiple emotional debts (a big gold mine), she might regret it!
So, pretending to be clueless is still one of the most suitable choices!
'Everything is for the sake of earning emotional rewards, nothing to be ashamed of!'
"Help... help! It seems someone has fallen into the lake at the center!"
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly.
Many people stopped at once, looking towards the center of the lake.
They could indeed vaguely see a hand struggling on the surface of the water!
"Don't just stand there! Quickly call for help!"
"Is there anyone who can swim? Why not try to see if you can save that person?"
"No way! It's too far! The distance from the shore to the center of the lake is less than a thousand meters; an ordinary person might not have the strength to swim there! That would be too dangerous!"
"How about we row over there instead!"
"It seems that this method won't work either! The boats we have here are all small ones that we paddle ourselves! It would take too much time and effort to row over, and by then, the food might be cold!"
…..
Everyone was talking at once, their faces filled with anxiety.
But in the end, they couldn't come up with a good solution.
On the other hand, Mu An immediately took off his shirt.
Clearly, he was preparing to jump into the water directly!
"Ziran, help me hold this for a moment!"
"Are you really going to swim over? Isn't that too far...?"
Tong Ziran instinctively took the clothes that Mu An handed over.
She looked at his strong upper body, with prominent eight-pack abs, and her pretty face turned slightly red.
But she also knew that this wasn't the time to think about such things!
"Don't worry! I won't do anything without confidence!"
Mu An smiled slightly.
What he said gave people an inexplicable sense of trust!
Naturally, Tong Ziran was willing to believe him!
Then, with a splash!
Without any hesitation, Mu An jumped into the lake.
He moved swiftly towards the center of the lake like a swordfish!
.....
On the other side.
Xiao Bai was panting heavily, struggling to move.
Every step felt incredibly painful, as if he were about to die!
He had never experienced such a situation even during the most difficult training on the mountain!
"Damn it! Who is that old coin bullying me from the shadows?
"Don't let me find out who you are!"
"Otherwise, when my strength increases in the future, I will make you wish you were dead!"
Xiao Bai silently swore in his heart.
At this moment, due to the tenfold gravity, his face looked extremely ferocious.
Veins bulged, his eyes bloodshot.
His breath was heavy, and his expression was twisted.
He looked like a demon that had just crawled out of hell!
Suddenly.
"Help... help! It seems someone has fallen into the water at the center of the lake!"
The same cry for help reached Xiao Bai's ears.
But he scoffed, dismissing it.
All he could think was the four words 'none of my business'!
After all, he was barely able to take care of himself right now!
'Kid, that drowning girl just happens to meet the requirements of your technique!'
'Do you know how rare it is to encounter a top-notch pure yin girl? A poor guy might not see one for ten years!'
'So, you have to save her!'
'Otherwise, how will you take advantage of this opportunity?'
A persuasive voice appeared in Xiao Bai's mind.
However, he was already used to it.
Ever since he obtained the inheritance of the divine doctor, he had known of its existence!
In simple terms, it was like a remnant soul of an assistant to the divine doctor!
And the reason his medical skills had improved so quickly was largely due to its contribution!
"But I'm barely managing as it is! This damn gravity is almost killing me!"
After hearing this, Xiao Bai was naturally tempted.
"This isn't a problem! I can temporarily help you unleash your potential!"
"That way, it won't be a problem for you to withstand the pressure and save someone!"
"Just know that after I help you, I might fall into a deep sleep, and I won't be able to guide you at all!"
"So, do you need me to help?"
The voice of the remnant soul sounded again.
It left the choice to Xiao Bai.
"Of course!
"As you said, a top-notch pure yin girl is hard to come by."
"Now that there's such a good opportunity to be a hero and save the beauty, I definitely can't give it up!"
"As for your concerns, there's no need to worry!"
"After all, I am a bit of a powerful and skilled divine doctor inheritor, so I won't always need you by my side to guide me!"
Xiao Bai said confidently, his face full of pride.
"Alright! I'll help you unleash your potential, but you need to remember to save her quickly!"
"Otherwise, overextending your potential won't be good for your future..."
"Enough with the nonsense, just hurry up and do it!"
Xiao Bai impatiently interrupted.
The remnant soul could only silently sigh and quietly take action.
Soon.
Xiao Bai felt his 'strength' returning!
The mountain of tenfold gravity pressing down on him was lifted!
"My strength is back!"
Xiao Bai couldn't help but let out a howl to the sky.
However, at that moment, he also saw Mu An jumping into the lake to save someone, and couldn't help but sneer.
"Just wait, you'll pay the price!"
With that, Xiao Bai quickly jumped into the lake.
Like a small motor, he paddled quickly with his hands and feet, wanting to be the first to save the beauty.
