Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2482: I Helped You?
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
"I’m fine!"
Long Piaoying shook her head and said.
"If nothing is wrong, then why do you still look unhappy? Isn’t restoring your original appearance something you’ve always wished for?" Ye Haochuan asked curiously.
"I did want to restore my appearance, but..."
Long Piaoying’s eyes reddened, and she choked out, "But I never wanted you to kill Fan Qianhe!"
"Why? He’s the one who wronged you, so why wouldn’t you want me to kill him to avenge you?"
"That’s right, he did indeed make me grow old prematurely and forced me to fight every day to avoid being drained by the corpse sorcery by desperately improving my cultivation!"
Long Piaoying, with tears in her eyes, said, "But it’s also because of him that I was able to survive in this Immortal Realm, and my cultivation improved rapidly. Can you imagine a cultivator advancing from the Core Formation Stage to the Demi-God Realm in just two or three years?"
From the beginning to the end, she had been trying to prevent Ye Haochuan from getting into conflict with Fan Qianhe. She just never thought Ye Haochuan could defeat Fan Qianhe and was more worried about Ye Haochuan himself.
However, Ye Haochuan was too deeply obsessed, not allowing her to finish speaking before he took her back into the Minor World. Now, out again, things had reached this point.
Ye Haochuan hadn’t expected that Long Piaoying would have an attitude of gratitude towards Fan Qianhe. His initial excitement instantly died down.
"I didn’t kill him, I only imprisoned his soul! With just one thought, I could bring him back to life without weakening his strength in the slightest!"
Ye Haochuan explained, "But I can’t! Because if I release him, you’ll be in a situation where your life is constantly threatened, and I won’t allow that to happen!"
Upon hearing this, Long Piaoying’s expression finally softened, and she said, "Let me talk to him; maybe there’s another way to resolve this."
Ye Haochuan didn’t rush to answer but asked the Taichi Pearl in his mind, "Can you guarantee that Piaoying’s soul won’t be harmed by Fan Qianhe’s soul if it comes in?"
"You underestimate me too much! In this Taichi Pearl, even if their souls are next to each other, I can easily separate them!"
"Alright then!"
Ye Haochuan finally relaxed, allowing Long Piaoying’s soul to leave her body and enter his Sea of Consciousness, where the Taichi Pearl absorbed it.
Ye Haochuan himself was not idle; regardless of everything, he was planning to return to the Minor World, as it was the only absolutely safe place.
"Hm? What’s going on? Why have I suddenly lost connection with the Minor World?"
Ye Haochuan suddenly noticed something unusual and tried several times, still unable to do it.
This isn’t right; he had just released Long Piaoying from the Minor World—how could he suddenly lose access?
"There’s no need to struggle; I won’t let you escape!"
A voice sounded from a corner of the cave.
At the moment the voice rang out, Ye Haochuan distinctly felt the sorcery insect in his Dantian become more active.
"Fan Zhi? How are you here?" Ye Haochuan frowned and asked.
He was not overly tense; although this guy had the power to kill him at any time, he was only in the Demi-God Realm, and Ye Haochuan now had the God Lord Realm expert Zhang Lang with him, so he had no fear of Fan Zhi.
"I’ve been watching you since you became my fosterer! I didn’t expect you to be even more impressive than I imagined, even managing to kill Fan Qianhe!"
Fan Zhi said with a chuckle as he slowly moved forward.
"You’ve been watching me all along?" Ye Haochuan felt somewhat strange.
"Of course! After all, you were the first to remain so calm after being implanted with a corpse sorcery. At that time, I guessed you were definitely not a simple person."
Fan Zhi chuckled, "But clearly, I underestimated you!"
"What? Planning to avenge your kin?" Ye Haochuan sized up Fan Zhi and said coldly.
"Avenge him? Why would I avenge him?"
"If not for revenge, then why are you here?"
"I’m here to thank you, of course! If it weren’t for you, how could I have gained so many benefits?"
"Benefits?"
Ye Haochuan was puzzled and scrutinized Fan Zhi once more.
Finally, he discovered an oddity.
"Your power level has increased again? How is this possible?"
Seeing Fan Zhi’s cultivation level, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but gasp.
This guy had unknowingly broken through to the God Lord Realm.
The gap between the Demi-God Realm and the God Lord Realm was an insurmountable chasm; how did this guy break through in just a few days?
"Wait! Did you say it was because of me that you got the enhancement?" Ye Haochuan asked in confusion.
"I know you’re puzzled, so since I’m in a good mood today, I’ll take some time to educate you on the origin of corpse ghosts!"
Fan Zhi smiled indifferent and said, "Actually, we were humans at first, but we were all slaughtered overnight because of our enemies. However, those people didn’t know that our Fan family bred a unique sorcery insect called the corpse sorcery!"
"After we died, the corpse sorcery was summoned by the soul imprint of the Fan family members and devoured the dead flesh from our corpses to form new bodies, thus creating the corpse ghosts."
"Uh... so?"
Ye Haochuan felt somewhat speechless.
Fan Zhi wasn’t answering his question at all!
He was merely curious about why he had helped Fan Zhi enhance his power and wasn’t particularly interested in the so-called history of corpse ghosts.
"Do you think the strength of our corpse ghosts’ bodies is determined by our pre-death strength?" Fan Zhi asked.
"Isn’t it?" Ye Haochuan asked peculiarly.
To him, the formation of corpse ghosts seemed somewhat similar to the formation of corpse marionettes.
"Of course not!"
Fan Zhi asked, "Corpse sorcery is ranked by levels! Back when Fan Qianhe got the most premium batch of corpse sorcery due to his soul’s strength, he became the only corpse ghost in the entire place!"
"You’re suggesting..."
Ye Haochuan was startled and looked in the direction where the batch of corpse sorcery from Fan Qianhe was originally gathered.
Yet now, there wasn’t a single trace of the corpse sorcery left there.
Damn, if only I had burned all those corpse sorcery insects earlier!
Ye Haochuan regretted it immensely.
He truly didn’t know that corpse ghosts had such peculiar traits. Just now, those corpse sorcery insects were leaderless and the easiest to deal with—now they’ve found a new master and instantly become a huge problem.
"Since I helped you, shouldn’t you repay the favor? Why are you still being hostile towards me?" Ye Haochuan asked with a frown.
"While you did help me, but..."
Fan Zhi chuckled and said, "Do you think I would let someone who knows so many secrets about corpse ghosts leave?"
Damn, weren’t you the one who told me? Now you’re using that as an excuse to kill me? Isn’t that too far-fetched?
Ye Haochuan was beyond speechless.
