Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2113: When Did I Ever Take Advantage of You?
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
The Director appeared somewhat surprised, wondering why Dennis would make a request at this particular moment. Nevertheless, he offered a smile and stated, "Go ahead and tell me. As long as it's within my capabilities, I will certainly agree!"
Dennis, hearing this, showed a pleased expression and anxiously declared, "I have long admired Miss Mu Xiang, and I wish to seize this opportunity to..."
Wow, this fellow is quite audacious, attempting to court a woman during an occasion like this! I find it rather amusing!
Ye Haochuan chuckled to himself.
While he didn't quite grasp Dennis's preferences, everyone has their own tastes. Perhaps he simply fancied those with unusual appearances?
"Dennis, have you lost your mind?" Before Dennis could even finish his statement, Pan Muxiang's resonant voice cut in, "Are you attempting to leverage the alchemy session to coerce my father into marrying me off to you?"
The Director's countenance instantly turned grim. He spoke with a cold tone, "Dennis, are you certain you wish to threaten me?"
As he uttered these words, his killing intent radiated outwards, causing many of those present to blanch.
"No... no, that's not it at all!" Dennis, his face now ashen with fear, hastily tried to clarify, "I simply desired to ask for an opportunity to confess my feelings to Miss Mu Xiang..."
"If that's the case, you have already confessed, and I can tell you unequivocally: there is no chance!" Pan Muxiang stated resolutely.
Damn, to be so unattractive and yet so discerning. If I were as unsightly as you and someone pursued me, I'd eagerly rush to warm their bed!
Ye Haochuan sighed inwardly.
Although Dennis might be slightly less remarkable than Ye Haochuan, he was undeniably handsome, more than enough to match a woman as unattractive as Pan Muxiang.
"Why? In terms of looks, talent, and capability, is there anyone more suited for you within the entire Sky Hunting Association than myself?" Dennis asked with clear dissatisfaction.
Upon hearing his words, everyone present lowered their heads; indeed, in many aspects, they all fell short when compared to Dennis.
"Just because no one is superior to you, does that automatically mean I am obligated to marry you? What kind of logic is that?"
Just as Pan Muxiang was about to retort, her gaze inadvertently fell upon Ye Haochuan. She paused for a moment, then abruptly shifted her tone, speaking with a gentle cadence, "Let me tell you, I already have someone in my heart!"
"You have someone in your heart? Who?" Dennis exclaimed, jumping up as if he had been struck.
Not only him, but everyone nearby was filled with curiosity about the identity of the person Pan Muxiang favored.
Ye Haochuan suddenly experienced a troubling premonition. He quickly lowered his head as much as possible, silently praying, "Not me, it definitely can't be me. She dislikes me so intensely; how could she possibly have feelings for me?"
"The person I like is Ye Haochuan, who recently joined the Sky Hunting Association!" Pan Muxiang declared with unwavering conviction.
Buzz~
Ye Haochuan felt a sudden buzzing sensation in his head, as if he had been struck by lightning.
Good heavens, this is hardly the way for people to be treated!
Ye Haochuan was overcome by an immediate urge to flee. If he were truly forced to marry such an unsightly woman, he would rather face death.
"Impossible. I was merely fabricating that to mislead Dennis, and it accidentally turned out to be true?" The steel-bearded man, Dolly, suddenly felt as though he were a prophet.
"Impossible, utterly impossible!" Dennis roared, his voice filled with disbelief. "He only joined yesterday, and you've only met him a handful of times. How could you possibly like him? This must be a fabrication, right?"
"Can't one fall in love instantly?"
Pan Muxiang let out a soft snort and then added, with a sudden, shy demeanor, "Besides, we have already shared some intimate moments and even decided upon a lifelong partnership!"
That soft voice, coupled with her slightly bashful attitude, and then the sudden shift to a rough, low tone, sent shivers down Ye Haochuan's spine.
Oh my, what kind of monstrous being is this? It's life-threatening!
Ye Haochuan couldn't help but recall Pan Muxiang's appearance, wishing he could excise the part of his brain responsible for those memories and discard it.
"Ye Haochuan, is this true?" The Director inquired sternly, his gaze fixed on him.
"Uh..." Ye Haochuan was utterly lost for words.
He had already exposed Pan Muxiang's cloak. No matter how he tried to explain, he couldn't escape the prospect of marriage!
It was at this precise moment that he finally understood why Dennis was so infatuated with Pan Muxiang; it was because he had never actually seen her face.
Although glimpsing the arm extending from Pan Muxiang's cloak might easily lead one to assume she was a rare beauty.
But who could have ever imagined that the face concealed beneath the cloak was entirely different from the appearance of her arm!
Damn Dennis, to dare claim he liked Pan Muxiang! If he truly harbored feelings for her, he would simply lift the cloak, and she would become his. Why endure all this unnecessary trouble?
In his mind, Ye Haochuan had already thoroughly cursed Dennis's entire lineage.
Observing Ye Haochuan's tacit acknowledgment, the Director's expression shifted rapidly from grimness to elation. He announced, "Since you both harbor affections for each other, then commence dating!"
On hearing this, Ye Haochuan was utterly terrified.
"Absolutely not! I object!" Dennis suddenly interjected from the side.
"Who are you to question my decision? Do I need your approval to court someone?" Pan Muxiang retorted, her lips pursed.
Dennis's face flushed, but he stood his ground, "How am I inferior to him? In terms of power..."
Seizing this unexpected turn of events, Ye Haochuan quickly chimed in, "Regarding strength, how could I possibly compare to you? With your Immortal Transformation Peak cultivation, a single move from you would defeat me!"
As he spoke, Ye Haochuan surreptitiously winked at Dennis, conveying his willingness to cooperate and urging him to continue his argument, a lifeline he desperately clung to.
Ye Haochuan's entire hope now rested on excessively praising Dennis, aiming to persuade the Director to discard his absurd stipulation and sanction a union between Pan Muxiang and Dennis.
To Ye Haochuan's surprise, Dennis's eyes betrayed a flicker of regret upon hearing his words. He declared, "Indeed, in terms of raw strength, I cannot measure up to him..."
Ye Haochuan internally cried out, *'Must you be so painfully honest?'*
A sudden urge to lunge forward and pummel Dennis overwhelmed Ye Haochuan.
*'Even now, is it truly fitting to uphold the principle of 'factual accuracy'?'* he pondered.
Fortunately, Dennis added with newfound confidence, "While I may not surpass him in strength, in other domains, I believe I am his equal. Take alchemy, for instance; he certainly cannot compare to my skills!"
Seeing a final sliver of hope, Ye Haochuan hastily affirmed, "Indeed, I possess no knowledge of alchemy, so how could I possibly rival Dennis? Miss Mu Xiang, I appreciate your kind intentions, but I would not burden you for a lifetime. I believe Dennis is a far more suitable match for you..."
"Ye Haochuan, what exactly are you implying?" the Director inquired abruptly, his expression darkening with a low hum.
"What could it mean? This scoundrel took advantage of me and now pretends nothing happened!" Pan Muxiang declared with a peculiar tone. "Father, your daughter has suffered a terrible injustice; you must seek retribution for me!"
*'Good heavens, when did I ever take advantage of you?'* Ye Haochuan silently despaired, feeling an overwhelming urge to weep from his sheer anxiety.
