Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2110: What Did I Ever Do to Deserve This
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
Can you be any more hideous?
Ye Haochuan took a prolonged look at the cloaked individual’s visage and felt an overwhelming urge to let loose a string of curses.
Peeking from beneath the cloak was a face that was still somewhat childlike.
Nevertheless, this very face was genuinely horrifying, with eyebrows that were askew, eyes that slanted, a sharp-mouthed visage, and buck teeth to boot – not to mention a countenance thoroughly mottled with pustules and pockmarks, enough to make one’s stomach churn and threaten to expel their last meal.
"It figures you’d keep your face hidden all day. With a mug like that, revealing it would be a nightmare for all who beheld it!"
Speaking with haste, Ye Haochuan quickly pulled the cloak back up, concealing that repulsive countenance.
He readily admitted to being quite timid, truly lacking the fortitude to gaze for even a second longer. He genuinely felt that prolonged viewing would shave years off his life!
"Ah~"
A spectral wail nearly reverberated through the entire town.
The cloaked figure had only just stirred from the Phantom Realm, and upon witnessing such a scene, a flurry of frightened expressions contorted their already long and ugly face.
"You… you…" Hastily re-donning the cloak, the cloaked individual pointed a trembling, pale hand at Ye Haochuan, rendered speechless by sheer indignation.
Observing this strikingly white Showy Hand, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but shake his head and lament, "If this skin were on your face, it might at least improve your appearance significantly. But why… oh, why…"
At that exact moment, the cloaked figure abruptly lowered their Showy Hand, their furious posture suddenly replaced by an awkward one.
"My father established a decree long ago: the first person to lay eyes upon my face shall take me as their spouse. Though I truly detest you, my father’s command is akin to an imperial edict. It appears my entire life is now irrevocably bound to yours!"
As these words were spoken, the cloaked person edged closer to Ye Haochuan.
The first to see must marry – why did this particular plot feel so uncannily familiar?
Ye Haochuan found it instinctively amusing that such a trope, typically confined to the pages of novels, was actually being enacted in reality.
"What in the world, this can't be right. Thinking about novels right now… if I were to actually marry this unsightly creature, wouldn't I be unable to enjoy a single decent meal for the rest of my days?"
Contemplating this dire possibility, Ye Haochuan broke out in a cold sweat and quickly stammered, "Miss, you must have misunderstood. I was merely curious about the fabric of your cloak, so I removed it to inspect it. In truth, I haven't truly glimpsed your features, so there’s no need for you to offer yourself!"
"How could that possibly be? Regardless of your intentions, the undeniable fact remains that you have seen me. I am, after all, an unmarried maiden; how can you be so irresponsible, leaving me unable to find a husband in the future?" the cloaked person retorted with a soft scoff.
Just then, from their side, the Ice Jade Kirin emitted an alluring chuckle, "I believe it’s a perfect match! While this young lady’s appearance is… lacking, for someone so young to achieve such Cultivation demonstrates undeniable talent. Marrying her would hardly be a loss!"
Absolutely not! I, your humble master, am already accompanied by dozens of radiant wives at home, each one a beauty capable of toppling nations. Bringing this eccentric individual into my household would surely lead others to believe I possess a rather twisted aesthetic!
Ye Haochuan inwardly cursed his predicament.
Yet, at this very moment, he could only suffer in silence, forcing a smile onto his face as he attempted to extricate himself, "Miss, you see, there are only a handful of us present. If you remain silent and we say nothing, no one will ever know about this incident!
I understand you loathe me with the utmost intensity, and I am certain you wish to avoid marriage with me as well. How about we simply pretend this never occurred – wouldn't that be the most sensible resolution?"
"You truly are rather vexing!" the cloaked person conceded, appearing somewhat swayed.
Ye Haochuan perceived a glimmer of hope and quickly capitalized on it,
His earlier curiosity had long since become a source of deep regret, having nearly scared him to death and now brought about significant trouble.
While Ye Haochuan was wallowing in misery, a striking white man quickly approached him. After a cursory glance, the man inquired, "Are you the new Asian member?"
So soon? What in the world?
Ye Haochuan's immediate thought was that this individual was dispatched by the Director to deliver the auspicious news, stirring complex emotions within him.
He genuinely struggled to conceive of an excuse to decline the Director's impending request. After all, his own actions had been impolite first, forcibly removing the cloaked person's attire – the fault was undeniably his.
"I'm asking you a question, are you mute?" The white man's impatience grew as Ye Haochuan remained silent, and he let out a huff.
Ye Haochuan felt a pang of unease, failing to recognize the man's discourtesy. Mustering a weak smile, he replied, "I am indeed Ye Haochuan, the new recruit. May I ask for your name, sir?"
Without answering, the white man pressed on with an unfriendly demeanor, "I heard you dared to covet Miss Mu Xiang. Is this true?"
"Who is Miss Mu Xiang? I've never encountered her!" Ye Haochuan expressed his confusion.
"Still denying it? You clearly engaged in a confrontation with Miss Mu Xiang, yet you claim you haven't seen her?" the white man scoffed coldly.
"Confrontation?" Ye Haochuan's understanding began to dawn.
He had indeed fought with several individuals, but the only woman involved was the cloaked figure.
"Oh heavens, I never expected such an elegant name to be associated with such a... Alas, it's unbearable. Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit; help!" Ye Haochuan's expression abruptly soured.
Unaware of Ye Haochuan's internal turmoil, the white man interpreted his silence as an admission of guilt.
"You audacious wretch! How dare you violate the Saintess of our Sky Hunting Association? Prepare to meet your demise!"
The white man bellowed, swiftly raising a Demon Staff. He uttered a few incantations, and instantly, the surrounding temperature plummeted dramatically, as if the very air was on the verge of freezing solid.
Onlookers nearby witnessed the developing scene and hastily retreated, fearing they might be caught in the ensuing conflict.
"Ice Chains!"
As his incantation concluded, the white man suddenly cried out.
At his command, an ice chain adorned with sharp thorns erupted from the ground, coiling and slithering towards Ye Haochuan.
