I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

"Alright, let's go then." Louise waved her hand, and the sea creatures turned and retreated in an orderly fashion. Then she whispered, "Shall I ride your griffin?"

"Isn't that inconvenient?" Charlotte asked, looking at Ruth who was walking towards her. "I have two girls with me, there's no room for you."

"Hmph, forgetting friends for the sake of beauty!" Louise snorted and turned to walk out of the hall.

"Daisy, come here." Charlotte beckoned to Daisy, who was standing to the side.

Daisy quickly stepped forward.

"We're leaving too." Charlotte put one arm around Ruth's waist and the other around Daisy, then jumped onto Anna's back.

Anna flapped her wings, darted sideways out of the temple gate, and soared into the sky.

Ruth and Daisy were so startled that they couldn't help but scream; it was too fast and too high.

In the blink of an eye, the Cornigan Islands became just a few small black dots, with the endless blue sea below and the azure sky above.

Ruth leaned against Charlotte's chest, feeling all the pent-up frustration in her heart vanish in that moment, and all the shackles that had bound her were broken.

From then on, the sky was high and the sea was wide, and she was free to roam as she pleased!

Daisy simply clung tightly to Charlotte's arm, barely daring to breathe, yet she was equally joyful inside.

Leaving the Cornelian Islands felt like leaving a prison; the oppression was gone.

"Doctor, thank you for saving me again," Ruth said to Charlotte, her voice filled with gratitude.

"Between us, there's no need for words of thanks," Charlotte said with a smile.

"So, I've made a very important decision." Ruth turned around and looked at him solemnly: "I'm going to marry you."

When Rose, dressed in a pure white wedding gown, gazes at you and says she wants to marry you, no one can refuse, not even Charlotte.

  

Charlotte nodded slightly: "I also want to marry you."

This is the woman he fought his way into the succubus temple, risking his life to kill Matthew and snatch back.

Is he going to refuse?

Impossible, he's not that kind of hypocrite.

With further nurturing, she could become a god-level succubus, capable of countless transformations; a bright future awaits her.

Daisy immediately perked up and stopped being afraid of heights. She quickly let go of Charlotte's hand, moved forward a little, and got closer to Evelyn.

"Tsk, Uncle, how are you going to manage all this?" Evelyn said with a worried look.

"Huh?" Daisy looked at her, puzzled.

Evelyn just grinned and didn't say anything more, but started thinking about the chicken leg.

Ruth nestled in Charlotte's arms, whispering sweet nothings to him as they poured out their hearts to each other.

After not seeing each other for several months, she seemed to have so much to say to Charlotte.

Charlotte mostly listened, and the optimistic Ruth gradually returned. However, he could sense her attachment to him in her words, which made him feel more tenderness towards the girl in his arms.

However, she seemed to have grown a bit more; she was soft and squishy in my arms, and had a faint fragrance—it was so comfortable.

"So, when are we going to have our wedding?" Ruth suddenly turned around and asked him.

"We'll talk about this later." Charlotte hesitated for a moment. "I'm very busy with the clinic and the apothecary lately, so I may not have time to prepare for the wedding."

It wasn't that he was lying to her. Recently, the clinic and the apothecary have been extremely busy. He also has to take care of the entire staff being demonized for the magicians, and he also has to worry about the matter of Kapas replacing Vivian's mother. He wished he could be split into several people, so he really didn't have time to prepare for any wedding.

After sending Ruth back to the Abyss, he would have to take Evelyn to find Louise and the others to demonize the three hundred powerful sea creatures who had helped him.

Ruth didn't seem too disappointed, and nodded understandingly, saying, "Okay, then we'll talk about it after you're done with this busy period."

Charlotte held her in her arms and began to consider what to do with her when they returned to the Abyss.

He definitely couldn't let her go back to Aman Street. Before, when he didn't have the power, he could only let her be the top dancer on Aman Street.

From now on, only he can enjoy Ruth's dances; other men can only envy her.

However, there was only one extra room left on the second floor of the house, which was the room that Diana had reserved. Although she had never slept in it, she would most likely be unhappy if Ruth were to move in directly.

There are vacant rooms in the staff dormitory across the street, but Kasha and the others all live at home, so it doesn't seem quite right for Ruth to live in the staff dormitory across the street.

Kalva's ancestral home had quite a few empty rooms, but he was a little hesitant to bring it directly to Elizabeth's doorstep, worried that the situation would get out of control.

After thinking it over and over, Charlotte felt a headache coming on.

His room was spacious, and the bed was big and soft, but since they weren't married yet, it wasn't really appropriate for them to live together right away.

He and Diana are still secretly seeing each other.

Charlotte hadn't come up with a definite idea yet when Calva appeared in her sight.

"Wow, we're back in the abyss again!" Daisy exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes, that was fast." Ruth's eyes lit up as well. "I used to think the Abyss was too small and too dark, but now that I'm back, it feels kind of warm and cozy."

"This is what it feels like to be at home. Even though it has a million shortcomings, there's always something to cherish," Charlotte said with a smile.

"It's because I have someone I care about." Ruth looked at him with a smile, her gaze gentle and warm.

Anna swooped down into the narrow crevice of the abyss and landed precisely in front of her house.

Ruth looked at the building in front of her, somewhat surprised, and asked, "Where's the sign? Where are the patients? Where's the clinic?"

She remembered that when she left, Charlotte had just renovated the clinic, and every day there were many patients queuing up in front of the door waiting for their treatment.

But now the clinic's signboard is gone, let alone any patients.

"We moved to a bigger and better new clinic up ahead, this is my home now," Charlotte explained with a smile.

Ruth suddenly realized that she had thought Charlotte had stopped being a doctor.

"Is that Dr. Charlotte? Why is he wearing armor? He looks so dashing in that outfit!"

"That woman in the wedding dress is so beautiful! But why does she look so familiar?"

"Although her demeanor has changed drastically, isn't she Miss Ruth? The former top dancer on Aman Street!"

"It really is Miss Ruth! Aman Street has become much less popular since she left. But judging from her outfit, she looks a bit like she's getting married?"

"Charlotte and Rose standing together are truly a sight to behold; they're a match made in heaven!"

The neighbors noticed Charlotte and Ruth, their eyes lighting up as they whispered among themselves.

On the second floor of the bookstore next door, Heidi peeked out, her eyes wide open.

In the morning, she was wondering why Charlotte was wearing armor and rushing out of the house so unusually. Then at noon, he returned to the Abyss with Miss Ruth, who was wearing a white wedding dress.

So...did he go to steal the bride?

Heidi tried hard to imprint Rose's beautiful image in her mind, her paintbrush moving swiftly as she painted, her mind racing, already imagining Charlotte's attempt to steal her away.

"So beautiful, Ruth is so beautiful. She used to be alluring and seductive, but now her temperament has improved a lot. She looks seductive but not coquettish. Every smile and frown makes people lose their minds, but they can't feel any lustful thoughts." Heidi sighed in her heart as she painted, only regretting that her painting skills could not express even a tenth of her beauty.

"Let's go in and rest for a while." Charlotte put her arm around Ruth, jumped off the griffin's back, and led her inside.

"It really has changed a lot." Ruth looked around the first floor, which had been converted into a living room, her eyes full of surprise.

"I have to go out again. There are some things I need to take care of for the senior sea creatures we helped earlier. You all rest at home. There's a kitchen upstairs. Make something to eat if you get hungry," Charlotte said to Ruth.

"Go ahead and get busy," Ruth nodded, but quickly added curiously, "Who was that girl who was leading the group earlier?"

"Louise, she's a friend of mine," Charlotte said.

"Please give her my thanks," Ruth said.

"Okay, I'll pass on your message to her." Charlotte nodded with a smile, then turned and went out, taking Evelyn with her as she jumped onto Anna's back and left the abyss once more.

He had already arranged a meeting place with Louise on Blackrock, on a deserted island 500 kilometers southeast of Kalva, where he would perform a demonization ritual for 300 sea creatures.

"Miss, are you really going to marry Dr. Charlotte?" Daisy poured Ruth a glass of water, looking at Ruth leaning against the sofa with curiosity in her eyes.

"You heard everything before, would I lie to the doctor?" Ruth said, taking a sip of water, her face slightly flushed.

"That's wonderful. Doctors these days are amazing. Not only are their medical skills superb, but their strength is also formidable. Moreover, they can get so many sea creatures to help them. Their background must be very powerful." Daisy's face was full of smiles. "In that case, we won't have to worry about anyone bullying Miss anymore."

"Doctor, you're even more amazing than I thought." Ruth nodded slightly, a smile appearing on her face.

Thinking of the scene that morning when he stormed into the temple alone and walked towards her, her heart couldn't help but beat faster.

"But where are we going to stay next? We probably won't be going back to Amman Street, right?" Daisy asked.

"I'm definitely not going back to Amman Street. I've decided to quit being a dancer." Ruth looked thoughtful as she listened, glancing around. She actually quite liked the place.

However, since she hadn't married Charlotte yet, it seemed inappropriate for her to live in his house directly; it would appear unreserved.

She didn't care before, she just wanted to be with Charlotte.

But when he actually nodded in agreement, her mindset changed again. She felt that she should take this matter more seriously in order to be worthy of Charlotte's feelings.

"Let's rest for a while, and then we'll look for a place to stay this afternoon. I still have some money on me, so finding a place to stay in the Abyss shouldn't be too difficult," Ruth said with a smile.

"What if the doctor lets you stay here?" Daisy asked.

"It's not appropriate to do it before the wedding; people might gossip," Ruth shook her head. "I don't want to put him in a difficult position. Let's find a place to stay on Bacca Street; it'll be convenient for us to get around."

"Miss, you are so virtuous. The doctor is so lucky to have married you," Daisy said with admiration.

"Meeting him is my blessing."

……

"What? Ruth is back?" Diana, who was boarding a carriage at the entrance of Harriman Manor villa and preparing to inspect the textile factory, received the news that Ruth had returned to the Abyss, and her face showed a hint of surprise.

"Yes, just now, news came from Bacca Street that Dr. Charlotte, wearing silver armor and riding a griffin, brought Rose, who was wearing a wedding dress, home, and then went out again," Buddy nodded.

"Armor? Wedding dress?" Diana frowned slightly.

The silver armor was something she bought for Charlotte. A knight should always have his own armor, so in addition to the custom-made suit, she also spent a lot of money to have a set of silver armor made for him at Eisenburg, costing millions of copper coins.

Unexpectedly, the first time he went out wearing armor, he went to pick up Rose, who was wearing a wedding dress.

Ruth and Charlotte had a close relationship, a fact she had known for a long time, even before Ruth herself.

Three months ago, Ruth suddenly left the Abyss, supposedly to return to the Succubus Clan and become their Holy Maiden.

But where did Charlotte go to bring Rose back today? And why is she wearing a wedding dress?

"Let's go to Charlotte's house," Diana said.

……

Charlotte arrived at the agreed location, where Louise and the others had already arrived and were sunbathing on the beach in the bay.

More than 300 elderly sea creatures sunbathed together on the beach, creating the scene reminiscent of an elderly people's beach resort.

Anna landed on the beach, and Charlotte, leading Evelyn, walked towards them, her mood suddenly becoming somewhat heavy.

Unlike when they corrupted those dark mages before, this group of sea mages were corrupted voluntarily to save their people.

Demonization carries a mortality rate, and the older one gets, the higher the mortality rate.

Given the average age of this group of sea creatures, their mortality rate will inevitably be higher than that of the group of dark mages from two days ago; probably dozens of them will die from demonic transformation.

"You're here so quickly." Louise greeted her with a smile. "You snatched such a beautiful bride home, and you didn't even spend much time with her before coming here?"

"There will be plenty of time to spend with them later, so it's more important to get down to business." Charlotte smiled and stepped forward, then gave a knightly salute to the sea creatures: "Thank you all for your help earlier."

"No need to be so polite. We're here to ask for your help, so it's only right that we do something for you," Grandpa Octopus said with a hearty laugh.

"It's a pity that the succubi lack backbone; it would be much more exciting if they fought each other," Grandpa Seahorse said with a regretful expression.

"Still boring. Only that little wench has any skill; the others aren't even worth killing." The electric eel grandpa curled his lip, looking disdainful.

Charlotte couldn't help but sigh for the succubi; it was a close call. If things had really gotten out of hand, the succubi wouldn't have been able to survive.

"Now that you're here, let's begin the demonization ritual," Louise said, looking at Charlotte and Evelyn.

Upon hearing this, all the sea creatures stood up and lined up in order of strength, all looking at Charlotte.

Charlotte hesitated for a moment, then looked at the sea creatures and said, "The risk of demonic transformation is extremely high, with a certain chance of death. Are you all aware of this, seniors?"

"Louise told us before we came. Otherwise, why would we old folks be scrambling to come? We just wanted to give the opportunity to the younger generation," Grandpa Octopus laughed heartily.

"That's right, we old folks don't have many years left to live, and we don't have the talent to break through to the god level. We might as well burn our lives for our clansmen one last time, so as not to waste our cultivation." Grandpa Seahorse laughed.

The sea monster elders all laughed, having already disregarded life and death.

"Alright, let's begin the demonization ritual." Charlotte said no more, then turned to Evelyn: "Three hundred people, is that enough for one time?"

"With the Necronomicon, it should work," Evelyn nodded.

Charlotte immediately took out the Necronomicon and handed it to her.

Evelyn held the Necronomicon but didn't rush to begin the demonization ritual. Instead, she looked at Louise standing to the side and asked, "Sister Louise, did you bring the sea specialties we talked about last time?"

"I brought them all—a hundred large crabs, a hundred large lobsters, and a hundred giant grouper. They're all packed in here." Louise took out a white conch shell filled with water and said with a smile, "You do your work well, and Charlotte will cook for you when we get back."

"Alright!" Evelyn's eyes lit up, and without further ado, she floated in front of the three hundred sea creatures, raised the Necronomicon in her hand, and began to chant incantations.

The sea creatures looked at the three-year-old girl with some surprise. They had originally thought that Charlotte had cast a demonic spell on them, but they did not expect it to be this little girl.

But before they could speak, a blood-red vortex suddenly appeared in the originally azure sky above the island, and the world changed color.

The sea creatures instinctively looked up, their eyes immediately filled with fear. They stood frozen in place, their bodies trembling slightly, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying.

"What is the mortality rate?" Louise stood next to Charlotte, looking somewhat nervous.

"It's hard to say. The mortality rate for the black magicians we treated before was around 15%." Charlotte shook her head, her expression equally grave. "However, based on past experience, the older the person, the higher the mortality rate. But I don't know if their strength will affect that figure."

As they spoke, one after another, the sea creature elders collapsed to the ground, losing all their breath.

About ten minutes later, the demonization ritual was completed.

Charlotte caught Evelyn, who was falling from mid-air exhausted, and put away the Necronomicon.

Of the 300 elderly sea creatures, 45 ultimately died, a mortality rate of 15%, which was better than he had anticipated.

The powerful sea creatures are still more resilient than ordinary old men.

As the sea creatures gradually emerged from their demonic state, the fear in their eyes had not yet completely faded, and their gazes toward Evelyn now held a greater sense of awe.

The sea creatures couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness as they looked at their fallen companions.

"Old Seahorse, go in peace. When we get back, I'll first corrupt your seahorse clan." The octopus grandpa squatted down and closed the seahorse grandpa's eyes.

Although Grandpa Seahorse possessed Saint-level strength, he still died during this demonic transformation.

"Thank you both. We sea creatures will remember this kindness." The sea creatures bowed to Charlotte and Evelyn in gratitude.

"You're welcome," Charlotte quickly replied, bowing.

"Now that the demonization is complete, and we have mastered the demonization technique, let us bid farewell." The octopus elder rolled up the seahorse elder, and the other sea creatures also took their deceased companions with them, bidding Charlotte farewell.

"Goodbye." Charlotte nodded.

"I also need to go back and continue screening the second batch of demonized candidates, otherwise I'll definitely have to go to the Abyss to watch the show." Ruth stuffed the conch shell into his hand and said goodbye to him with a regretful look.

"Let's go, let's go." Charlotte waved her away. He was still worried about how to deal with Ruth, but this woman seemed to enjoy making things worse.

"Thanks!" Louise said, then turned and followed the main force of the Shanghai Clan, leaping into the sea and transforming into a giant blue whale, disappearing from sight.

"Uncle, I'm hungry. I want a seafood feast." Evelyn nestled weakly in his arms, her eyes fixed on the conch shell.

"Okay, I'll make it for you when I get back," Charlotte said with a smile, jumping onto Anna's back as she returned to the Abyss.

It seems Evelyn's limit is around three hundred people, since they are all level seven or above powerhouses. Charlotte is already impressed by her ability to achieve this.

Back in the Abyss, Charlotte noticed the familiar carriage parked in front of her house.
