"Mm." Ning Rongrong's voice was as thin as a thread.

By now, she already knew what Gu Ye meant by "heads," and she also understood why he had said women had three heads.

Because women really did have three heads.

After taking the medicine Gu Ye had given her and putting it away, she thought of Zhu Zhuqing's curvaceous figure and quietly asked, "Can I become like Zhu Zhuqing?"

When Gu Ye heard Ning Rongrong mention Zhu Zhuqing, he paused.

She really did have lofty ambitions.

She actually wanted to become as intimidatingly well-endowed as Zhu Zhuqing.

It was good to have dreams, but thinking too much was not.

Wait?

Why was Ning Rongrong asking him about Zhu Zhuqing? Could it be that she suspected Zhu Zhuqing's curvaceous figure was because of him?

Thinking it over carefully, both of them were now at Shrek Academy. After Ning Rongrong saw Zhu Zhuqing's curvaceous figure, then looked at herself—flat as a plain—and asked Zhu Zhuqing a few things afterward, it was entirely possible that she had begun to suspect Zhu Zhuqing looked that way because of him.

Gu Ye smiled, then nodded without hesitation.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If she could become like Zhu Zhuqing in the future, then... The more she thought about it, the happier she became.

"Alright. Give it a week. I won't charge you while the treatment is taking effect. After a week, if the results are excellent, come back here once more. I'll take a drop of your blood as payment. Understand?"

"Mhm!"

Ning Rongrong agreed without hesitation.

It was only a drop of blood, after all. There was nothing to lose.

As for what kind of blood it was, Ning Rongrong had no idea.

After secretly asking Gu Ye a few private questions, she was about to leave when someone entered from outside. It was Zhu Zhuqing.

"Zhuqing!" Upon seeing Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong felt somewhat awkward and embarrassed, like running into an acquaintance at a certain kind of hospital.

"Rongrong, why are you here?" Zhu Zhuqing was also surprised to see Ning Rongrong. She had not expected Ning Rongrong to know Gu Ye.

She was very curious about what Ning Rongrong had come here for.

"Well, Zhuqing, I have something to do, so I'll head back first." Ning Rongrong did not want Zhu Zhuqing to know that she had come to Gu Ye to get bigger. After saying this hastily, she jogged away.

Zhu Zhuqing paused, not understanding what had gotten into Ning Rongrong. It felt as though she was afraid of her.

"You're here." Gu Ye ignored the departing Ning Rongrong and smiled at Zhu Zhuqing.

He knew that a woman like Zhu Zhuqing, who pursued strength and had a firm goal, would definitely return. He just had not expected her to come back so soon.

"Mm." Zhu Zhuqing nodded, walked up to Gu Ye, and asked, "What was going on with Rongrong just now? You know her too?"

"I do. She came to see me for treatment as well."

"Treatment? Is Rongrong sick?"

"I can't tell you that. Keeping a patient's information confidential is the most basic professional principle."

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing did not press the matter further.

Remembering why she had come, she looked at Gu Ye and asked, "You said before that you could help me become stronger, and that you could even help my Martial Soul Evolve. Was that true?"

"That depends on you."

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Gu Ye with confusion in her distinct black-and-white eyes.

"This matter is highly confidential. Come into the room with me first and sit on the bed. I'll explain the details inside."

After saying that, Gu Ye directly closed the medical clinic's front door, then entered the room.

Zhu Zhuqing followed without hesitation.

As for danger, one look at Gu Ye's handsome, striking face told Zhu Zhuqing that he was not a bad person.

Besides, Ning Rongrong knew Gu Ye too, so she was even less worried.

Just as the two entered the room, someone arrived outside the Hand of God Medical Clinic not far away. It was Dai Mubai, who had followed Zhu Zhuqing here.

"Ning Rongrong said just now that Zhu Zhuqing went into the Hand of God Medical Clinic. Why would she go to a medical clinic?"

When Ning Rongrong had left and returned to Shrek Academy, she had happened to run into Dai Mubai. After asking her about it, Dai Mubai learned that Zhu Zhuqing was there.

Still, Dai Mubai was puzzled. Why had Zhu Zhuqing gone to a medical clinic?

Dai Mubai knew of the Hand of God Medical Clinic in Suotuo City. After all, Gu Ye had quite a good reputation in the city. As he thought about it, Dai Mubai quickly headed toward the Hand of God Medical Clinic.

He wanted to see what Zhu Zhuqing had gone to that clinic for.

He had heard that the physician at that clinic was not very old, yet exceptionally handsome. Could Zhu Zhuqing and that physician... At the thought, Dai Mubai frowned and quickened his pace.

Inside the Hand of God Medical Clinic, in the back room.

Gu Ye stared intensely at Zhu Zhuqing before him.

Zhu Zhuqing leaned against the door, her alluring, shapely figure displayed to the fullest.

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Gu Ye's handsome face, unable to understand why he was staring at her like that, with such an aggressive gaze.

Naturally, Gu Ye was not looking at Zhu Zhuqing this way because she was beautiful, had a great figure, long legs, a slim waist, and a proud bosom renowned as unmatched.

He was merely examining Zhu Zhuqing. His gaze was pure, because he was a physician now. To a physician, everyone was a patient. He was looking openly and honestly.

"You want to become stronger, don't you?"

After asking, Gu Ye left Zhu Zhuqing with only his tall back.

Looking at Gu Ye's back, Zhu Zhuqing thought of her family's affairs and of Gu Ye's Martial Soul Evolution. She gave a firm "Mm."

"Since you've decided to become stronger, do you know what you must pay for it? There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world," Gu Ye said with his hands behind his back.

"What do I need to give?"

Gu Ye did not answer immediately. After considering it, he thought of the Martial Soul Serum extracted from Zhu Zhuqing's body and said, "First, when the time is right and I take your most precious drop of blood, you must not object."

"Second, I have an experiment I want to try on you. Once completed, it can raise your aptitude to the pinnacle of this world and make you stronger. I guarantee that there will not be the slightest side effect. Are you willing?"

That was right. Gu Ye wanted to use Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Soul Serum on Zhu Zhuqing herself. It was an experiment he wanted to prove, and Zhu Zhuqing was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

As for taking Zhu Zhuqing's most precious drop of blood... Gu Ye was serious about that.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Gu Ye. She agreed to the first condition without the slightest hesitation.

After all, she believed that what Gu Ye wanted to take was merely her Martial Soul blood.

But the second condition left her somewhat conflicted. She longed to grow stronger, because only strength could allow her to resist the fate imposed by her family. Yet she did not know whether she should believe Gu Ye.

"Will it really cause no harm?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, looking at Gu Ye for confirmation.

"Of course. If it harms you or leaves you paralyzed and unable to walk for the rest of your life, I'll give you a guarantee."

As he said this, Gu Ye turned around and slowly approached Zhu Zhuqing. Their eyes met, and less than ten centimeters separated them.

Gu Ye stared intently into Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes and continued, "I, Gu Ye, can take care of you, Zhu Zhuqing, for a lifetime."

Murmuring those three words, "a lifetime," Zhu Zhuqing suddenly realized that her heart was beating a little faster. Then she nodded and agreed to Gu Ye's experiment.

Aside from her own desire to become stronger, she had also seen the sincerity in Gu Ye's eyes. That was the true reason she agreed.

"Come, let's get on the bed." Seeing Zhu Zhuqing agree, Gu Ye took her hand and led her to the bedside.

Since Zhu Zhuqing had agreed to do the experiment, she subconsciously obeyed Gu Ye and came to the bedside. Under his commanding tone that allowed no refusal, she lay down on the bed and waited for Gu Ye to begin.
