Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 44 The Reason for Everything

If Ning Feiliu cultivates for another year or two, it won't be a problem for her to surpass Dugu Yan in soul power.

But... this takes way too long.

He didn't want to wait, and he couldn't wait any longer.

Having already thoroughly researched the venom of the Jade Scale Serpent, he planned to complete the mission at this time and obtain a way to defy fate.

Ning Feiliu has no desire to wait any longer.

"I don't think that's the reason either," Ning Feiliu shook her head and said, "So I need your help from now on. It's very simple: you help me repair my relationship with Sister Yan, and I'll teach you medicine."

Suddenly, he realized that his statement was strange.

Why does this feel like... a scene from a past life where men would bribe their girlfriends' best friends to act as wingmen...?

A hint of curiosity flashed in Ye Lingling's beautiful eyes as she asked, "So...do you like Dugu?"

Like it?

Ning Feiliu thought about it for a moment, but then realized she didn't seem to have that feeling.

Dugu Yan always acted like his brothers from his previous life, so he seemed to have always regarded Dugu Yan as... well... buddy?

Moreover, Dugu Yan was the first friend he actively made after arriving in this unfamiliar world.

Perhaps Ning Feiliu previously viewed Dugu Yan merely as a tool to get closer to Dugu Bo, but now…

He genuinely wanted to help Dugu Yan get rid of the toxins in her and her grandfather's bodies.

Even if the mission fails now, Ning Feiliu will not hesitate to help Dugu Yan get rid of the poison in her and Dugu Bo's bodies.

"I guess it's just that I don't want to lose a friend," Ning Feiliu said softly. "She's my only friend."

"Your only friend?" Ye Lingling asked, looking at him. "Then you're probably Dugu's only friend too..."

"And you?" Ning Feiliu looked at her and asked, "Aren't you her friend?"

"No, we're just classmates," Ye Lingling said calmly. "I don't have any friends either."

"...I can tell." Ning Feiliu said, looking at Ye Lingling's all-black outfit.

However, he was also a little confused as to why Ye Lingling always appeared aloof and unapproachable, dressed in all black, whether in person or in the original story.

However, Ning Feiliu really didn't want to ask too much about this kind of thing.

He completely ignores other people's hobbies unless they are related to him.

This is the life experience that Ning Feiliu summarized from his twenty years of life in his previous life.

"Hmm." Ye Lingling also had a cool and aloof personality, and then fell silent.

They had already returned to Tiandou City while they were talking, but he had not yet led the way after returning to Tiandou City.

Ye Lingling seemed to know the location of the clinic and left first.

This surprised Ning Feiliu.

However, he didn't ask too many questions and went straight back to the clinic with Ye Lingling.

"Whatever I ask you to do later, like receiving patients or anything, you have to do it, and then record their symptoms first," Ning Feiliu said directly to Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling frowned. She wasn't the type of person who liked to interact with outsiders; to put it bluntly, she was a bit socially awkward.

Social anxiety is simply a fear of contact with outsiders and many people, while Ye Lingling is simply unwilling to contact outsiders and many people, but it is not out of fear.

But then she thought of Ning Feiliu's medical skills, so she had no choice but to agree, "Okay."

Then, as Ning Feiliu's clinic opened, ordinary patients who were familiar with the clinic's opening hours came to see her one after another.

Ning Feiliu's reputation has now been fully established.

They have excellent medical skills and charge reasonable fees.

Such a clinic is certainly attractive.

This will attract not only ordinary people from within Tiandou City to seek medical treatment, but also villagers from outside Tiandou City who will make a special trip here for treatment.

"Lingling, go and greet the patient. Let the patient describe their symptoms verbally first, and then write them down with paper and pen. Give them to me later," Ning Feiliu said to Ye Lingling.

This saves him a lot of trouble and time.

Ye Lingling nodded and sat down in front of the clinic, beginning her role as a "clinician".

The patients saw that Ning Feiliu told them to line up one by one with Ye Lingling, and they had no objections.

Ye Lingling was clearly not used to being surrounded by so many patients.

Ning Feiliu disregarded Ye Lingling's discomfort and showed no mercy whatsoever.

Their main strategy is to exploit free labor, so they'll squeeze it dry.

Ye Lingling didn't have the temperament of a spoiled young lady. Although she wasn't used to it at first, she still did her best to complete the tasks Ning Feiliu gave her.

The next few days were the same; Ning Feiliu didn't keep Ye Lingling as free labor indefinitely.

He did teach her some things, such as having Ye Lingling read some medical books.

Furthermore, when dealing with special patients such as those suffering from poisoning or infection, Ning Feiliu would specifically teach Ye Lingling how to administer the medication.

He taught Ye Lingling all the traditional medicine prescriptions from Douluo Continent, as well as the medicine prescriptions he extracted himself, without reservation.

Therefore, Ye Lingling was not dissatisfied and began to follow Ning Feiliu's instructions, trying to get as close to Dugu Yan as possible during the day when she was at the Tiandou Royal Academy.

However... according to her, Dugu Yan seems to have become even more withdrawn now.

Moreover, she seemed to be wary of something, not allowing others to touch her easily.

Upon hearing this news, Ning Feiliu frowned. The Dugu Yan of the past was never this aloof...

But at that moment, Ye Lingling looked at him with her cold eyes and said, "Dugu is like someone with a contagious disease who doesn't want to infect others."

"An infectious disease?" Ning Feiliu was taken aback for a moment, but then he quickly realized something.

"Could it be..." he exhaled, then said, "that Sister Yan thinks the Azure Scale Serpent venom in her body might harm others?"

At that moment, he suddenly recalled the events of that drunken night.

In a flash of inspiration, Ning Feiliu finally understood.

He took out the "Experimental Notes on the Jade Scale Snake Venom" and said, "Could it be that Sister Yan saw the contents of the notes that night?"

"What notes?" Ye Lingling looked at the notes in his hand and asked curiously.

"I..." Ning Feiliu said directly, "It's my experimental notes on the toxins in Sister Yan's body."

"Why are you researching this?" Ye Lingling asked, puzzled.

"Save her." Ning Feiliu slowly uttered two words, shook her head, and said.

"The Azure Scale Serpent venom that Sister Yan inherited from Senior Poison Douluo has a terrible backlash effect."

"When the poison fully backfires, Sister Yan's life will be in danger, so I want to save her and have been researching the venom of the Jade Scale Snake all this time."

"The venom of the Azure Scale Serpent can actually backfire on a Spirit Master with the Azure Scale Serpent Martial Soul?!" Upon hearing this news, Ye Lingling's beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.
