"Ms. Mulian, why is your attitude so strange every time you see me?"
When he saw how flattered she was, Meng Chao could not help but crack a joke. "You're either like a bunny who saw a wolf, or you're like a … great person who's even better than a superstar. It's just a box of nutritional fluid. Is there a need for you to act like this?"
Su Mulian's face instantly turned red. She did not know what to do and stuttered, "I-I'm not. I'm just really grateful to you, Mister Meng. You've done so much for Leprosy Village, so we should be the ones giving you a gift!"
"I was just lucky and accidentally exposed the enemy's scheme," Meng Chao said.
"I'm not like you. Every day, you have to endure indescribable pain. Day after day, year after year, you do everything you can to treat people you don't even know.
"Honestly, I'm willing to risk my life for tens of millions of my fellow humans and fight against monsters. In any case, even if I die, I'll just be chewed up by monsters, and it'll only take a few minutes.
"But you have to endure endless pain day and night, and it's just too torturous. I won't even be able to last five days.
"So, you're still better. Don't look at me like that. I should be the one looking at you with admiration!"
He was not joking.
Instead, he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
It was precisely because he had ignited Kindling that he felt uncomfortable if he did not contribute to Dragon City every day.
He knew better than anyone just how difficult it was to continue contributing day after day.
There was an old saying on Earth: It's not difficult for a person to do one good deed, but it's difficult to do good deeds for a lifetime.
And every time he contributed, he would receive immediate feedback. He could also treat his injuries and illnesses in time, which was why he could grit his teeth and persevere.
Selfless devotees like Su Mulian and Lei Zongchao used their beliefs and willpower to burn themselves without hesitation to release light and heat that could illuminate millions of people.
The more Meng Chao stayed with these real devotees, the more he felt that he was someone who was passing himself off as an opportunist who had snuck into the devotees' ranks.
Hence, he respected people like Su Mulian and Lei Zongchao a lot and was willing to give up everything to support them.
"You didn't just stop the abnormal beasts' schemes. You also demolished Leprosy Village and reconstructed the lair. Everyone owes you a lot, and we know that if it weren't for your rallying power and helping us gather so much money and resources, we wouldn't know how long we would have to live in the darkness of the past!"
When she heard Meng Chao's praise, Su Mulian's face and the tip of her nose turned red. She said seriously, "Wild Wolves are wild and untamed. They never admire anyone, but even he told me personally that he really admires you! As long as you give the order, all the members of Wild Wolves Gang will definitely not frown even if we have to climb a mountain of blades or dive into a sea of flames! "
"Why would I want them to climb a mountain of blades and dive into a sea of flames?"
Meng Chao did not know whether he should laugh or cry. "Ms. Mulian, the age difference between us isn't that great. Can't we relax a little and become friends? Do you have to make our relationship so serious and stiff?"
"Friend?"
Su Mulian gulped and chuckled dryly. She forced herself to say, "We've always been friends, Mr. Meng Chao!"
"… I told you half a year ago that you can call me Big Brother Meng, Big Brother Chao, or Mr. Meng Chao. You can call me anything, but don't call me Mr. Meng Chao. It sounds really weird!"
When he saw how fearful Su Mulian was, Meng Chao gave up. "Forget it. Looks like talking to me is a form of torture. Then, Ms. Mulian, please take a look at my injuries!
"You don't need to treat me. You just need to help me check for any flaws and see whether there are any hidden injuries. Then, you just need to help me heal on my own. My injuries this time are rather serious. You won't be able to handle it."
Since he was going to spend around two hundred thousand contribution points to get an Advanced Healing Skill, he would be able to solve most of her problems. Meng Chao did not want Su Mulian to suffer from unnecessary injuries.
However, when he thought about the fact that there was a high possibility that the ancient ruins contained secrets that humans had yet to discover, and he was worried that something strange would be left in his body, Meng Chao asked Su Mulian, a specialist with unbelievable healing talent, to take a look at his injuries.
This was Golden Tooth's headquarters, and it was Saber Jin Wanhao's personal medical room.
It had the most advanced medical facilities in Dragon City.
Meng Chao took off his coat and revealed his body covered in wounds that looked like medals. He stepped into the medical cabin and slowly dipped his head into the medicinal fluid.
Su Mulian touched his scars gently, and her fingertips trembled a little. She could not help but cry out in surprise. "You have so many wounds! Just what did you go through over the past half a year?!"
"They might look terrifying, but they're all superficial wounds. I found it troublesome, so I didn't use my spirit energy to stimulate my skin cells and get rid of the proliferating tissues," Meng Chao said.
Meng Chao asked. "Shall we start?"
"Let's start. I will definitely save you, Mister Meng Chao!" Su Mulian's expression instantly turned solemn. She looked incredibly clumsy and stubborn.
"Why do I feel like your choice of words is a little strange …" Meng Chao mumbled.
He sucked in a deep breath and dipped his head into the medicinal fluid. The medicinal fluid surged into his lungs through his nose.
At the same time, his vitality magnetic field bloomed like a flower bud in spring. His spirit energy surged through his body like flowing jade, and it seeped into the fine wounds on his blood vessels, bones, nerves, muscles, organs, and spirit meridians that had been torn apart by the tests and cultivation over the past half a year.
Su Mulian's vitality magnetic field bloomed slowly as well. It danced lightly, and gradually, it formed a unique connection with Meng Chao's vitality magnetic field. In fact, they resonated with each other in an indescribable manner, so every time Meng Chao exchanged for a Healing Skill, he could bring out more than 300% of its effects.
An hour later.
Meng Chao opened his eyes slowly. He felt as if he had gone through a long hibernation.
Casually stretching his body, he felt that every cell in his body was like a little bird in the warm spring, singing in joy.
'This is amazing!
'Asking Ms. Mulian to treat me was indeed the right choice.
'I've only experienced this resonance with my vitality magnetic field when I cultivated with Big Sis Ya.
'That's strange. Big Sis Ya and I only resonated with each other because we absorbed the Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals. What's with Ms. Mulian? Is this the talent of healers?'
When Meng Chao saw that Su Mulian looked a little tired after working hard for an hour, he quickly crawled out of the medical cabin and helped her to the side to express his gratitude.
Su Mulian was naturally overwhelmed by the favor and trembled in fear.
Her attitude made him not feel like chatting with her.
Meng Chao could only go straight to the main topic. "By the way, Ms. Mulian, can you do what I told you last time?"
"About what happened last time?" Su Mulian was a little stunned.
"I'm going to Battle God Palace to meet Senior Battle God Lei Zongchao and check on his injuries," Meng Chao said.
"I mentioned it to you a few times over the past half a year, but at that time, you were busy with the demolition of Leprosy Village. Later, you went to the frontlines with the medical team, so you didn't have time.
"There's no time like the present. Aren't you free over the next two days? Do you want to go to Battle God Palace with me and meet Senior Lei?"
"Huh?"
Su Mulian was so nervous that she felt like a stick. She nearly fell backwards.
The fear that came from the bottom of her heart when she learned of Meng Chao's identity appeared on her face again.
"…"
Meng Chao could not wrap his head around it. "Did I scare you again?"
"N-No, it's not like that."
Su Mulian also realized that her reaction was too big. She covered her chest and sucked in a few deep breaths before forcing herself to smile. "I'm not scared. I'm just too tired. That's right, I'm too tired.
"Mister Meng Chao, can you — no, can you not bring me to meet the Battle God?"
She asked cautiously and in a pitiful manner.
"Of course you can. You have the right to see whoever you want or not, but why?" Meng Chao said.
Battle God Lei Zongchao was the best superhero in Dragon City. From the age of three to eighty-three, the number of citizens who wanted to meet him could practically form a line from the Supernatural Tower all the way to Monster Mountain Range.
Even if there were people who were not interested in the Battle God, there was no need for them to have such a huge reaction. It was as if they were going to a tiger's den and meet a ruthless monster, right?
"Well …"
Su Mulian scowled and thought about it for a long time before she said, "Because I'm not confident that I can cure Senior Lei. I'm afraid that you'll be disappointed."
"Hey, what kind of reason is that?!"
Meng Chao did not know whether he should laugh or cry. "Last time, I told you that Senior Lei's injuries are really strange. I'm not even certain whether they can be considered as injuries. In any case, the famous doctors in the hospitals and top-class clinics in Dragon City, along with the specialists and scholars in the field of life sciences, are all helpless. No one expects a girl like you to be able to cure Senior Lei!
"But you're talented, and I'm just trying my luck. I want you to take a look at him. Perhaps you'll be able to come up with some treatment suggestions that the other doctors and specialists haven't thought of.
"Also, I believe that you want to continue training your abilities and save more people, right?
"Then, you'll need to absorb nutrients from all sorts of difficult illnesses.
"Being able to personally examine Battle God Lei Zongchao's body is an honor and a chance that many doctors dream of. I thought that you'd be overjoyed!
"Also, even though the problem of the villagers' housing and jobs has been mostly solved, when people want to go to higher places, they won't refuse the chance to go to higher places.
"The Battle God Palace around Senior Lei has a lot of connections, resources, and business opportunities. I really want to help Leprosy Village and introduce these connections and business opportunities to you," Meng Chao said.
These were Meng Chao's sincere words.
Over the past half a year, Battle God Lei Zongchao's body had deteriorated.
Based on what he said, his vitality magnetic field was gradually falling apart, and he could no longer control it.
It made Meng Chao anxious, and he was in a desperate situation. He wanted to change the fate of a hero dying at the end of the Monster War in his previous life.
But Meng Chao was not naive enough to think that Su Mulian could bring him back to life.
After all, Su Mulian's name and deeds had long since reached the Battle God's ears.
There were also plenty of people in Battle God Palace who wanted to ask the Holy Lady of Dragon City to treat them.
But Lei Zongchao just laughed it off and said that his greatest problem was not his body and that it was not something a doctor could solve.
Meng Chao wanted Su Mulian to meet Lei Zongchao. One of the reasons was because he wanted to try his luck.
More importantly, he wanted to get Battle God Palace and Leprosy Village to work together so that the villagers could live more prosperous lives.
