Outside the room, Baizhu stood on the opposite rooftop, looking at Bai Ye.

However, due to the traps set by Bai Ye, Baizhu could not see what was inside.

Just then, Hu Tao's voice came from behind.

"It seems your curse is about to be broken."

Baizhu turned his head and saw that Hu Tao and Zhongli were standing not far behind him in the Baizhu.

He was somewhat surprised. When did Hu Tao become so agile? She was standing so close behind him, yet he hadn't noticed her at all. And Zhongli, the Guest Official of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, his skills were just as terrifying.

These two people from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor actually have the ability to kill me without a sound.

Baizhu thought to himself.

He remained outwardly calm and asked Hu Tao and Zhongli Li, "Why did you come here?"

"The sect leader guessed what would happen tonight, so he came to check."

Zhongli looked at Baizhu and said.

That's certainly true, but whether Hu Tao came with other motives is hard for Zhongli to say.

Baizhu, unaware of Zhongli and Hu Tao's thoughts, silently nodded.

His gaze remained fixed on Bai Ye's room.

Hu Tao Baizhu, "How does it feel to have this contract about to disappear?"

"The contract has not disappeared."

Baizhu replied.

"Um?"

Hu Tao was somewhat surprised.

Baizhu continued, "Although Chang Sheng may no longer require my support, I still want to continue using her abilities. As long as I exist, Bubu Pharmacy will continue. Besides, Chang Sheng's abilities are always very useful, aren't they?"

He was more talented and more persistent than any of his teachers and grandmasters. He wanted to heal more people and gain more. Therefore, he would not easily give up the contract he had obtained from Chang Sheng.

This is his responsibility, and also his dream.

Of course, he wouldn't let his own dreams interfere with Chang Sheng's recovery. So he sent Chang Sheng to find Bai Ye to restore his strength.

"Go ahead and do it if you're willing to waste your life. Although Bai Ye also has that ability, I don't want to waste his life force so easily."

Hu Tao waved her hand and said.

Once Chang Sheng recovers, his original strength and memories as Adepti will likely be restored. Not only will he not consume Baizhu's life force, but he might even benefit from it. If Baizhu still wants to do something under these circumstances, that's his own business.

Chang Sheng would also try to persuade him.

If Baizhu still gets into trouble after that, it's his own problem.

Although they share the same surname, Baizhu has absolutely no relation to Bai Ye.

"This is my contract, so you'd better take it seriously!"

Chang Sheng spat out a pre-prepared contract from his mouth.

Bai Ye picked up the scroll, which was thicker and longer than Chang Sheng, and looked at her in surprise.

Chang Sheng blushed slightly under Bai Ye's gaze.

She hurriedly said to Bai Ye:

"What are you looking at? This is my secret technique. This contract is for another dimension. Enough nonsense, since I've already drafted it, just sign it."

Bai Ye took the scroll and looked at it.

Although his tone was dismissive, Chang Sheng was still aware of the situation.

She didn't make any unreasonable demands; she simply said that Bai Ye wanted to provide her with life force, and in return, she was willing to help Bai Ye cure all her ailments.

Chang Sheng reminded Bai Ye, "Let me tell you, even if we go to the battlefield in the future, I'm not some immortal who's good at fighting. I can only heal you from behind."

"I understand that."

Bai Ye nodded.

Although one can manage their own life force, having an extra healer is always better.

Chang Sheng could play a significant role on the future battlefield.

"Well then, let's begin."

Seeing that everything had been said, Chang Sheng was getting impatient.

In order to allow physicians throughout history to prolong their lives, she had always been extremely restrained in absorbing life force. But now that she had encountered Bai Ye, she was naturally going to take advantage of him.

"You'd better be careful, it will take a lot of health to restore me to my original state. If you can't handle it, remember to tell me!"

Before they began, Chang Sheng spoke to Bai Ye in this way.

"Um."

Bai Ye nodded.

Then he took out the Gods's heart and poured his life force into Chang Sheng.

"Mmm, that feels so good."

Chang Sheng felt an endless stream of life force entering his body. It was like drinking a bowl of hot soup with meat and medicine after a long trek on a snowy mountain, which warmed him up nicely.

Even Chang Sheng's snake-like eyes narrowed involuntarily.

She still had some conscience and reminded Bai Ye, "If you can't handle it, you can reduce the dosage a little. If you can't finish the treatment in one session, you can come back for more."

Don't hurt Bai Ye!

Then,

Chang Sheng then noticed a strange expression on Bai Ye.

Bai Ye said to Chang Sheng, "Chang Sheng, what would you think if I told you that I was just testing the waters and hadn't used my full strength yet?"

"Impossible, how could this be!?"

Upon hearing Bai Ye say this, Chang Sheng's first reaction was that this was unrealistic.

How could there be so much vitality...?

Just as Chang Sheng was thinking this, his life force, which was several times stronger than before, suddenly surged forth.

"Hey, hey, hey, be gentle, be gentle, it's so hot, ouch..."

Now, instead of drinking a bowl of meat soup from the snowfield, they just throw it into a soup pot to cook.

"Too much, far too much."

Feeling the surging vitality, Chang Sheng experiences both pain and joy.

Bai Ye smiled as he observed Chang Sheng's reaction.

Isn't it normal for teenagers to play a little prank? Also, I'll let you sneak in while I'm asleep at night and see if I can hold out.

He thought to himself.

At the same time, it was continuously channeling its life force into Chang Sheng.

The cries of Chang Sheng continued.

Bai Ye could also clearly feel that the Chang Sheng body was gradually expanding.

Expand to its maximum size.

Then,

Bai Ye only felt a flash of white light.

My eyes are almost too big to open.

And in the next second,

The light disappeared.

A slender, barefoot girl appeared before Bai Ye.

She had long, white hair, the same color as the scales of Chang Sheng, and wore a white palace dress that accentuated her figure. The hem of the dress was slanted, revealing glimpses of her snow-white thighs.

The girl had a small, oval face, alluring yet innocent, with a delicate nose, thin lips, but unlike most people, her eyes were standard vertical pupils.

Furthermore, at this moment, her fair wrists, thighs, and ankles were tightly bound by iron chains arranged by Bai Ye, making her look like a prisoner of sainthood.

"Are you Chang Sheng?"

Bai Ye was stunned and asked the girl in front of him.

"Otherwise what?" the 'girl' tilted her head and said to the woman in white. Only then did she realize what was happening and looked at herself.

"I... I've turned into human form?"

"Yes, that's right."

Bai Ye nodded.

The idea of a white snake turning into a human isn't considered outrageous in Liyue. After all, none of the Adepti in Liyue are human.

Now that another white snake has transformed into a human, it's not so strange.

Even the idea of a white snake transforming into a human is more acceptable to Bai Ye.

After all, Bai Ye had heard of the legend of Bai Ye.

Seeing that Chang Sheng was still bound by his chains, Bai Ye quickly removed them. However, whether by accident or intentionally, Bai Ye only removed the chains; his thighs and ankles were still bound by chains.

Yes, the leg rings are the soul of the outfit.

At this moment, Chang Sheng held his forehead, his face contorted in pain.

"What's wrong with you?"

Bai Ye stepped forward to inquire.

Although Chang Sheng was slender, she was not short at all. She lowered her head and met Bai Ye's gaze directly.

"No, I just regained some of my previous memories."

Chang Sheng said to Bai Ye.

Because of her abundant health, all her lost memories returned along with her newfound abilities.

"Oh?"

Bai Ye was curious.

Chang Sheng put his hands behind his back and walked to the window.

"My name is Chang Sheng, and I also have another title: Yaojun."

"Yaojun? You're also Adepti?"

Upon hearing Chang Sheng's words, Bai Ye immediately pressed for details.

"Yes, of course." Chang Sheng turned his head and smiled at Bai Ye.

Then,

Feeling his mouth dry, Chang Sheng silently turned his gaze back.

One must maintain the demeanor of a master.

"I was once a renowned Adepti, even other Adepti called me the Yaojun Fairy. However, due to Erosion and war, I fell into a deep sleep in the Chenyu Vale Valley. I thought I would sleep forever, but unexpectedly I encountered that physician." Chang Sheng said calmly, his hands behind his back.

"And now, you have come to completely repair the deficiencies in my life. It is thanks to your efforts that I have been able to recover."

Chang Sheng tried hard to project the aloof and ethereal aura of a peerless fairy.

Then, she heard Bai Ye ask her:

"Hmm... are you done?"

"That's all..."

His aura of Chang Sheng vanished instantly, and he spoke in a dry, monotone tone.

"Then, Chang Sheng, you'd better hurry up and do what you promised me."

Bai Ye urged him on quickly.

Apart from Cloud Retainer and Madame Ping, Bai Ye wasn't so polite to the other Adepti.

"What I promised you..." Chang Sheng asked, somewhat puzzled. But seeing Bai Ye's expression growing increasingly dark, Chang Sheng quickly said, "I remember, of course I remember! It's just growing taller, isn't that easy?"

That's more like it.

Upon hearing Chang Sheng's words, Bai Ye finally smiled.

"Come, close your eyes and watch me unleash the secret of growth."

A bluish-white light appeared from Chang Sheng's fingers, which he then gently touched onto Bai Ye's forehead.

"My growth method can make someone grow more than ten centimeters taller in an instant, and then continue to grow... Wait, why isn't it working!?"

Before she could finish speaking, her expression instantly turned panicked.

In her mind, as soon as she pressed her fingers on Bai Ye's forehead, Bai Ye's height would naturally increase.

As a result, when the power of Chang Sheng entered Bai Ye's body, it was like a clay ox entering the sea—there was no reaction whatsoever.

What about growth?

What about your growth?

What's wrong with your health?

Chang Sheng's tone was somewhat panicked.

So, you can't do it either?

Bai Ye's expression turned melancholy.

Sigh, you call yourself the Yaojun, but you still can't do it.

Seeing Bai Ye's resentful expression, Chang Sheng felt even more panicked.

It's so embarrassing, so incredibly embarrassing.

Moreover, it would be embarrassing to be in front of the person who cured him.

"Um, give me two days, I'll think of something. Wait a little longer, just a little longer."

Chang Sheng left in a panic.

She looked to the side, intending to push open the door and leave.

Only a dejected Bai Ye remained.

At that moment, Hagintos appeared and gently patted Bai Ye's forehead.

Now, it's not too difficult for her to appear in public. Even when she places her finger on Bai Ye's forehead, Bai Ye still feels something, albeit faintly.

"Sigh~, what kind of Yaojun is this? He's really incompetent. Don't worry, Teyvat is vast, he'll find a solution sooner or later."

"Uh-huh."

Bai Ye nodded earnestly.

Asmodeus actually wanted to come out and comfort Bai Ye, but then he thought about his own height of over 1.8 meters; if he came out, it wouldn't be comforting but rather a provocation.

Hu Tao, Zhongli, and Baizhu were still watching Bai Ye's room from outside.

Sudden,

Bai Ye opened the door to her room, and a beautiful woman in white palace attire emerged from within.

"This..."

Hu Tao's eyes widened immediately.

"Who, who is she!? Why, why is she in Bai Ye's room? Bai Baizhu, didn't you say that Chang Sheng was inside?"

She stammered.

What's going on?

I was on guard against Shenhe on my left, Xiangling on my right, and the young lady from Inazuma in front of me. I also had to consider other people behind me, and yet someone still managed to raid my base?

"I don't know either."

Baizhu also looked somewhat puzzled.

At this moment, Zhongli smiled slightly and said to Hu Tao and Baizhu, "Is it possible that she is actually Chang Sheng?"

Yaojun was the physician during the early days of the war.

Many Adepti and human soldiers survived because of her.

Zhongli hid in the darkness, preventing Chang Sheng from seeing him.

However, he was somewhat surprised that the Chang Sheng being hadn't even noticed him.

Approaching Baizhu, Chang Sheng said to him, "Come, give me the key to Bubu Pharmacy. I need to investigate something important. Also, lend me Qiqi. I want to see if I can make a zombie grow taller, so I certainly can make Bai Ye grow taller too."

How embarrassing, so incredibly embarrassing.

No, I must avenge myself.

After taking the key from Baizhu, Chang Sheng hurriedly left.

As Chang Sheng left, Baizhu's lips twitched slightly.

What triggered this?

The next day, while Chang Sheng was still researching medical topics, Bai Ye and Baizhu set off.

The matter of the Archon Residue still needs to be dealt with.

The matter needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, lest Jiang Li really run into trouble.

Jialiang cares about his wife, Baizhu cares about his senior sister, and Bai Ye and Hu Tao are also worried about ordinary people being harmed.

As they walked, the ailing herb gatherer, Jialiang, said to Bai Ye and the others:

"My home is on a hillside next to Qingce Village. I wonder how Jiang Li and the child are doing."
