Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 59 A Strange Plague

When Yun Ming heard Ya Li address him, he felt a little strange. Ya Li had called him that the first time they met, but he was certain that Ya Li was indeed calling him, not someone else, and this feeling was very odd.

Upon hearing Yali's question, Yunxiang recalled what had happened outside the city.

At that time, Yunming planned to split his forces into two groups: Yunming, Yali, and Anlao in one group, and Oscar and Yang Wutian in the other.

The reason for this grouping is that Yunming believes that, regardless of whether Yali's abilities can cure this plague, even if they can, it is unrealistic for Yali, a Soul Master, to cure the plague in the entire city. Finding an antidote for the plague is the right solution.

So he and Yali teamed up to find a treatment plan, arranged for Old An to be their bodyguard, Oscar was assigned to another mission, and Yang Wutian was assigned to be the other bodyguard. Yun Ming made these arrangements because he knew he couldn't easily get Old An to work.

Upon hearing this grouping method, Yang Wutian immediately refused. What a joke! Entrusting the family's hopes to a powerful figure he had just met and whose origins were unknown was far too dangerous!

Even though Yun Ming explained a lot—that his ethereal and teleportation soul skills, combined with Oscar's third soul skill, would maximize his survival and escape abilities, and that he had developed an even stronger survival soul skill that he hadn't used yet—it was all useless. Yang Wutian pointed out that Elder An's martial soul was a longbow, and Yun Ming's survival ability was not reliable. Yun Ming's current etherealization couldn't withstand excessive soul power attacks, and teleportation and flight were just a matter of Elder An firing a few more arrows.

Finally, Yun Ming had no choice but to resort to his last line of dialogue in order to advance the plan. Yun Ming forced Yang Wutian to transmit his voice through a telepathic connection.

"Fifth Grandfather, if I just act warmly towards Ya Li and show some of my talent, Elder An should be happy to have me as their son-in-law! That way, I can guarantee he won't lay a hand on me!"

Upon hearing Yun Ming's telepathic message, Yang Wutian paused for a moment, then glanced at Yun Ming with a strange expression, thinking to himself, "You little brat, are you trying to make this real?" However... from this perspective, it didn't seem to make any real difference. Putting himself in his granddaughter's shoes, if he could bring back a genius of Yun Ming's caliber, he would be more than happy. That's why he agreed to Yun Ming's team assignment.

"Brother Ming?" Ya Li called out softly when she saw Yun Ming lost in thought.

Hearing Ya Li's call, Yun Ming snapped out of his reverie. Thinking of his earlier bold remarks, he felt a little guilty. But who was Yun Ming? How could he back down because of such a small difficulty! Yun Ming turned to Ya Li and spoke truthfully.

"I told my fifth maternal grandfather that if I became your son-in-law, I could guarantee that Elder An wouldn't lay a hand on me!"

Hearing Yun Ming's blunt statement, Ya Li lowered her eyelids, a slight shyness appearing on her face. Her delicate pink cheeks flushed slightly, and her smiling lips looked even more charming. While feeling happy and shy, she couldn't help but think to herself, "As expected of someone who would do such a thing!"

In their past life, Yun Ming and Ya Li's love began in the same way. When Yun Ming first started pursuing Ya Li, the two were not familiar with each other, and Ya Li did not love Yun Ming. Yun Ming directly declared to the whole continent that Ya Li would be his bride. He was straightforward and concise, which led to the later becoming a divine couple in the Soul Master world.

Meanwhile, Old Master An glared fiercely at the 'scheming' Yun Ming, wanting to say, 'You guessed wrong, I'm about to make my move on you right now!' But when he saw the shy Ya Li, he sighed inwardly, 'My young lady is too useless when it comes to love. Let the man at home handle this!' He couldn't interfere!

In this silent yet somewhat ambiguous atmosphere, Yun Ming and the other two evaded the city's patrols and traversed most of the city to reach the quarantine zone in the south. Upon arriving at their destination, Yun Ming took out two protective suits, handing one to Ya Li and putting the other on himself, saying as he did so.

"Mr. An, we'll trouble you to keep watch for us. We'll go in first and check on the plague situation!"

When Elder An saw Yun Ming's protective suit, he was somewhat surprised. Was this something a proper Soul Master could produce? Ya Li was also somewhat surprised. The protective suits she had seen for doctors in the city before did not seem as high-end as Yun Ming's.

Yun Ming noticed their doubts and spoke up.

"When I was studying medicine a couple of years ago, I often came into contact with some strange poisons, so I always carry this with me."

Upon reflection, An Lao realized that the Broken Clan was indeed in this situation. After Ya Li put on her protective suit, the two entered the sealed-off area and randomly found a relatively quiet small house without any guards or doctors checking on them.

Upon entering the room, Yunming could see the layout through the dim light. The overall decoration was simple and elegant, with only four hospital beds and no excessive details. The air was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine.

Yun Ming felt that the taste of the medicine was a bit off; it seemed to be a prescription for normal cold symptoms. However, considering that this was only the outer perimeter of the lockdown area, and that it was a man-made disaster, Yun Ming assumed that the person behind it was just fooling around, which was normal.

There were four patients in the ward. Three of them were asleep, but one young female patient seemed to vaguely see Yun Ming and Ya Li's figures and called out weakly.

"Doctor~"

"Cough cough~"

"I feel so awful!"

"Hoo hoo~"

Upon seeing this, Yun Ming hurriedly stepped forward to help examine the patient. After a short while, Yun Ming finished the examination and found that, just as the escaped residents had described, the symptoms were indeed those of a cold: fever, cough, fatigue, shortness of breath, and dizziness. These were indeed symptoms of a cold, and judging from her condition, it was a more severe case of a cold.

But what puzzled Yunming was that, based on the medical knowledge he had learned from Yang Wudi over the years, it seemed to really be a cold!

Seeing that Yun Ming had finished his examination, Ya Li asked a question.

"Brother Ming, how's it going?"

Yun Ming shook his head and spoke.

"It's not certain yet, let's give it a try first."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

After saying that, Yun Ming took out a sausage from the Phoenix Cry Ring and said to Ya Li.

"Yali, please help her take it!"

This sausage is Oscar's second soul skill, "Detoxifying Sausage." Its effects aren't particularly strong, but it can directly cure minor poisons and ailments, and temporarily suppress serious poisonings, prolonging treatment time—making it extremely practical. Using it to treat a cold is a piece of cake.

Before entering the city, Yun Ming drained Oscar of all his soul power, turning it all into sausages. After all, his mission didn't require soul power, and he had a Soul Saint protecting him.

Ya Li had seen Oscar use his soul skills and thus learned about his identity and abilities. Although she wasn't from Shrek Academy, she had served as the vice head of the Sea God Pavilion for quite some time, so she knew a few things about him.

Yali nodded upon hearing this and helped the female patient take the sausage.

After the female patient struggled to swallow the sausage, as the "detoxifying sausage" took effect, she felt her symptoms gradually improving. Soon, Yunming discovered that her bodily functions had returned to a level that was normal but slightly weak.

Yun Ming, seeing the female patient healed and recovered by Oscar's second soul skill, fell into deep thought.
