They were both women.

So Bibi Dong did not feel embarrassed.

But the predicament of bleeding so heavily still made her uneasy.

"Can you treat it?"

As Bibi Dong spoke.

She slowly lifted the blanket, and the mess on her papal robes gave the female healing Soul Master a fright.

That much blood?

It was probably enough to fill a large bowl.

At this rate, His Holiness the Pope would surely die.

The mess on the papal robes was plain to see.

It let her guess at once exactly where the bleeding was coming from.

"Your Holiness, I'll treat you immediately."

With a slight thought.

Eight Soul Rings rose.

A brilliant golden Sunflower Martial Soul appeared.

Eighth Soul Skill.

Sunlight Shines Everywhere.

Dense golden light streamed down and seeped into Bibi Dong's body.

However.

The blood still flowed out without stopping.

A moment later.

The healing Soul Master returned empty-handed, then dropped to her knees with a thud.

"I'm incompetent. I've never encountered such a strange illness."

"Please summon Soul Masters from across the world, Your Holiness. But if this goes on, you'll surely lose too much blood, and disaster will be more likely than salvation."

Hearing this.

Bibi Dong was terrified.

This was the best healing Soul Master in Spirit Hall.

If even she could not cure it, Bibi Dong would probably have to seek out that man.

Moreover.

The woman had been conservative in her assessment.

At this rate of bleeding, every drop of blood in her body would drain away in less than an hour.

"You may leave."

After the woman left.

Unwilling to give up, Bibi Dong opened the hidden compartment leading to the secret chamber and walked inside.

She remembered that Cao Mengde had once predicted she would bleed heavily within three days. Sure enough, his prediction had come true.

She thought of how she had wanted to kill him before.

And now she had to seek him out for treatment.

Bibi Dong was utterly ashamed.

Rumble, rumble!

Braziers on the walls suddenly lit up, bringing a little light to the pitch-black secret chamber.

Gripping her scepter, Bibi Dong looked at Cao Mengde, who was sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall and sleeping soundly.

"Cao..."

To tell the truth.

At this very moment, Bibi Dong.

Did not even have the courage to wake him.

But there was no choice.

To save her life, she could only steel herself and speak.

"Cao Mengde..."

Hmm?

When he did not respond, Bibi Dong grew anxious.

Could he have taken his own life?

Panic flashed across her face. If he had died, what would become of her illness?

"Cao Mengde, are you dead?"

Bibi Dong swiftly flashed over and stood before him, examining him up close.

She found that he really was not moving.

She raised her scepter and hurriedly poked Cao Mengde with it.

"Quit it!"

Seeing Cao Mengde wave a hand casually.

Bibi Dong nearly cried with excitement.

"Cao Mengde, I'm calling you. If you're alive, why didn't you answer?"

Cao Mengde lazily opened his eyes.

But he did not get up, continuing to sit on the floor instead.

"You locked me in a secret chamber, gave me nowhere to sleep, and didn't even give me food. I'm cold and hungry now. What do you expect me to say?"

Bibi Dong knew she was in the wrong.

Hearing Cao Mengde grumble at length, she did not dare say much.

She could only admit it frankly.

"I misunderstood you."

"I shouldn't have treated you like that. I..."

"I really am ill. Hurry and treat me."

Cao Mengde had known it.

Anything produced by the system was bound to be top quality.

If the system said Bibi Dong would bleed within three days, then she would bleed.

"So you came to me for treatment?"

"Forget it. Otherwise, if I cure you, certain people might accuse me of taking advantage of them and invading their privacy again. Why don't you just kill me instead?"

Cao Mengde knew that Bibi Dong needed him now.

So he deliberately said the opposite of what he meant to put her on the spot.

Bibi Dong was overwhelmed with guilt.

Had she known it would come to this, she would surely have treated Cao Mengde with courtesy.

"I've already apologized to you. What more do you want?"

"As long as you cure my illness, I promise I won't treat you poorly in the future."

To hear an apology from Bibi Dong.

Was no easy feat.

Cao Mengde turned his gaze on her and examined her.

A section of her papal robes was soaking wet, unmistakably soaked through with blood.

"Are you bleeding?"

The question was embarrassing.

But it was the truth, so Bibi Dong forced down her embarrassment and nodded.

"Hurry up and get started."

"If we delay any longer, I'll surely die."

After all.

Everyone had a fixed amount of blood.

Bibi Dong was already feeling dizzy and lightheaded.

She did not want to die.

"All right."

"Then let's go back to your bed for the treatment, Your Holiness."

Bibi Dong immediately opened the secret door to the chamber and led Cao Mengde back to her bedroom.

Just then.

Cao Mengde gave her a word of warning.

"Your Holiness, before I treat you, there's something I need to make clear."

"My Gynecology Divine Hand needs to touch the affected area to root out the illness. You should know what that means."

At his reminder.

Bibi Dong finally realized.

"You..."

"Why are your treatment methods always so strange?"

It would have been a lie to say she was not worried.

A deep blush of shyness had already spread across Bibi Dong's face.

Cao Mengde, on the other hand, was utterly unconcerned.

He glanced at Bibi Dong's soft jade bed. "Do you want treatment or not? A physician doesn't fuss over trifles. This is about treating an illness and saving a life. Do you think it's the pleasure between a man and a woman? I, Cao Mengde, have always been known for my medical ethics."

To tell the truth.

Bibi Dong was caught in a dilemma.

If she refused treatment, she would surely lose too much blood, her fragrance fading and her jade body perishing.

"You really don't want treatment?"

"Then I'm leaving."

Cao Mengde put on an act and walked toward the door.

"Stop right there!"

When he turned around.

He found Bibi Dong lying on the bed. She had been quick about it.

"Treat me."

After weighing the pros and cons.

She chose to accept treatment after all. Between her life and her reputation, her life was more important.

Besides.

This was only medical treatment.

There was no need to dwell on it too much.

Cao Mengde sat down beside Bibi Dong's bed. "That's right. Your life is important. But I still have one question: if I cure you this time, Your Holiness, will you want to cut the grass and pull up the roots again?"

Bibi Dong was stumped by the question.

Normally, she would certainly have killed Cao Mengde.

But after what had happened before, and since Cao Mengde had no intention of taking advantage of her and was solely treating her illness, that ruthless thought faded.

"I won't kill you. Hurry up and treat me."

"My blood has almost run dry."

Bibi Dong was beside herself with impatience.

She could feel her strength draining away rapidly, and everything in her vision was growing blurry.

Seeing Bibi Dong give in.

Cao Mengde rejoiced inwardly. It seemed his relationship with Bibi Dong was about to take another step forward.

Weren't you aloof?

Weren't you ruthless?

Why are you pleading now?

Gynecology Divine Hand, activate!

A pair of flesh-colored hands glowed green all over.

"Your Holiness, will you undo your papal robes?"

"Or shall I?"

Bibi Dong's eyes widened.

"Didn't you treat me through my clothes last time?"

Cao Mengde spoke meaningfully.

"Your Holiness, how can this time be the same as last time? You're bleeding so badly that my hands have to touch the bleeding area. If that's difficult for you, you can think it over."

Bibi Dong was on the verge of breaking down.

She had not expected.

The bleeding to be this severe.

She feared she would not be able to preserve her reputation.

"You... go ahead."

Her face bright red, Bibi Dong undid her papal robes herself.

Cao Mengde's eyes went wide.

First Soul Skill.

Touch!
