Gu Xiaomeng was very nervous.

She had never dreamed that one day she would be knocking on a single man's door in the middle of the night.

But she had no other choice.

As a priestess of the God of Love and Maidens, Gu Xiaomeng had received a Divine Decree from another world several hours ago.

She had to get close to Xu Nan and win him over!

When she first received this Divine Decree, Gu Xiaomeng had been extremely resistant, because of course she knew who Xu Nan was.

As the first girl to make herself cry during her internship, Gu Xiaomeng could be absentminded sometimes, but she would never forget something like that.

Whenever she thought of Xu Nan, she remembered that work scene where her own stupidity had made her cry; she would blush furiously and find it hard to breathe. As for his later confession, that had been nothing much—after all, plenty of boys had confessed to her since she was little.

Xu Nan had merely been a rather unusual one among them.

"Why did I have to wear this outfit... The thoughts of a god really are impossible to understand."

Gu Xiaomeng nervously tugged at her class uniform.

After Lü Junyi's hospital ran into trouble, she had been staying at home with nothing to do and had become quite the shut-in for the past two days. She had not worn this uniform in several days.

It seemed a little tight.

Had she gained weight?

After pressing the doorbell, she anxiously peered through the window. Unfortunately, all she could see were thick curtains and faint light.

He probably was not asleep yet, right? If he came to answer the door, what exactly should she say?

At that thought, Gu Xiaomeng's heart began pounding wildly.

However, at that moment, she suddenly heard several voices behind the door.

"You go!"

"No, you go!"

"Forget it, let's settle it with rock-paper-scissors!"

Not long afterward, the door opened a crack. The one who answered it was a flat-chested girl in a tracksuit, and her gaze looked extremely hostile.

"Need something?" The City Management Captain looked down at her from above, radiating the aura of a villain.

Gu Xiaomeng shuddered. Her mind was in chaos, and she had no idea why a girl like this was in Xu Nan's home. For a moment, she did not know what to say.

"If there's nothing, go home, wash up, and sleep. I won't blame you for knocking on the wrong door in the middle of the night."

Qin Lele made to close the door.

"Wait!" Gu Xiaomeng suddenly snapped back to her senses and bit her lip. "I'm looking for... Mr. Xu Nan."

Qin Lele's face immediately filled with displeasure. She suddenly stepped forward, and her demonic hand flashed out.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Peppa Pig?! Pink?"

"Don't you feel ashamed wearing this kind of underwear in the middle of the night? Walking around outside like that—are you trying to seduce someone?"

"There is no one here named Mr. Xu Nan. Leave."

With that, she waved her trophy in hand and slammed the door shut.

Gu Xiaomeng's face turned so red it looked as though blood might seep from it at any moment!

She stared blankly at the door, then suddenly gritted her teeth, gathered her courage, and pressed the doorbell again!

After a while, the sound of slippers approached. This time, the person who opened the door was a tall, handsome man.

But his expression was as cold as ice.

"If you ring that doorbell again, I'll call the police. Since you're a girl, I'll give you one chance to apologize."

"Apologize and leave. Unless you can conjure up several boxes of lobster and tell me that outfit is the latest style for delivery girls, I have no reason to say a third sentence to you."

This man... was so cold.

Gu Xiaomeng could not help shivering. She silently recited a prayer, and the divine radiance of the God of Love and Maidens flowed through her body.

She gathered her courage again. "Sir, I have urgent business with Xu Nan."

Shi Fanglin smiled faintly. "Then come back tomorrow. I've already made an appointment for tonight, because I also have urgent business with Xu Nan."

Bang!

The door closed, and Shi Fanglin's lazy voice drifted from inside. "If she dares ring it a third time, we'll drag her in and rape her before killing her."

He had to be doing it on purpose!

Gu Xiaomeng was so frightened that she stomped her feet.

For some reason, she suddenly was not as afraid anymore. She directly pressed the doorbell for the third time with all her strength!

"Hmph! Who will it be this time?"

"No matter who it is, I won't back down! I'll tell Xu Nan..."

The next second, the front door opened.

A giant panda holding an iPad and wearing headphones impatiently asked her:

"What do you want!?"

Gu Xiaomeng's vision went black, and she fainted stiffly on the spot.

At two in the morning, when Gu Xiaomeng slowly regained consciousness, she discovered that she had arrived somewhere else.

It was a pitch-black world. Candlelight flickered faintly around her, the air was poorly ventilated, and she could hear the sound of flowing water in the distance.

She climbed out of bed and looked around with a headache.

Not far away, Qin Lele had a foxtail grass stem in her mouth and was watching her with an unfriendly gaze.

Xu Nan and Shi Fanglin had just come out of the room where Lü Junyi was sleeping, discussing Comrade Lü's condition.

When Xu Nan saw that Gu Xiaomeng had woken up, he also got a headache.

After all, he had already sensed the aura on her body. It was exactly the same as the divine favor that had descended before.

If he had guessed correctly, Gu Xiaomeng had come as the representative of the God of Love and Maidens.

Xu Nan did not want to deal with gods for the time being, which was why the earlier scene had happened. What he had not expected was that Gu Xiaomeng, despite being a professional, would faint from fright at the sight of a giant panda.

Xu Nan had nothing to say about that.

After discussing it with Third Sister, he decided to bring her over after all. On one hand, she was a girl, and leaving her out on the street like that was too dangerous. On the other hand, Shi Fanglin had pointed out:

"None of us are professional doctors. We don't even know enough basic medical knowledge, so we're no good at treating patients. Didn't you say this girl was a nurse at Veterinarian Lü's hospital? Maybe she can take a look at him."

With that thought in mind, Xu Nan brought Gu Xiaomeng to Linxia City as well.

At this moment, Lü Junyi's condition was very bad.

His breathing and heartbeat had both slowed considerably compared to before. His face was pale, and cold sweat had begun to cover his body, yet he showed no signs of a fever.

"You're awake? I'm sorry, something came up, so about what happened earlier..." Before Xu Nan could finish, Gu Xiaomeng interrupted him.

She took a deep breath and looked solemnly at Xu Nan.

"Please go out with me!"

Xu Nan: "Huh?"

Gu Xiaomeng fluently shouted the lines she had prepared beforehand:

"Putting aside whether your earlier confession was a joke or a prank, I'll take it as sincere."

"I went back and thought it over carefully these past few days, and I realized that accepting you isn't impossible. Besides, for some other reasons, I have to be with you!"

"So, please go out with me!"

Shi Fanglin quietly jabbed Xu Nan. "Did that nurse get scared stupid?"

Ah Tang glanced sideways. "The national treasure refuses to take responsibility. She scared herself stupid by crashing into us."

Xu Nan rubbed his temples. His head hurt.

Qin Lele silently walked over and linked her arm through Xu Nan's, erupting with the imposing aura of the rightful wife. "Elder Sister, you should know that the man in front of you is a pervert."

"He doesn't even wear underwear. If you don't believe me, take off his pants and see for yourself."

"I suggest you think this through carefully..."

Xu Nan angrily rebuked her, "You're the pervert!"

Qin Lele chuckled. "I was a pervert to begin with. The love between us is mutual appreciation between perverts."

Gu Xiaomeng glared at Qin Lele, then somehow found the courage to say:

"I'm not wearing underwear either! You, you, you hateful thief, give my Peppa Pig back!"

Qin Lele sneered. "Hmph, fickle woman. I already threw those pink ones to the dwarf demons."

Xu Nan knocked her on the head. "Really? Go pick them up and return them."

Qin Lele said aggrievedly, "No."

Gu Xiaomeng and Xu Nan both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's not talk about this nonsense for now."

Xu Nan quickly said, "I have something I need to ask of you. Once we resolve it, we can talk about everything else."

"Doctor Lü's situation is very strange. If I'm not mistaken, you should be a priestess of the God of Love and Maidens, right?"

"You're both a nurse and a priestess. You should be able to help us figure out what exactly is wrong with him, right?"

Gu Xiaomeng was quite straightforward. "No problem."

"What happened to Doctor Lü? I heard his illegal license was found out before. I never expected him to actually be a veterinarian..."

The corner of Xu Nan's mouth twitched slightly.

He suddenly remembered that Gu Xiaomeng was also a professional. Could she have undergone surgery under Lü Junyi as well?

So he asked her directly.

Gu Xiaomeng was much more normal now. Perhaps her earlier hysteria and bickering with Qin Lele had thickened her skin considerably.

"I've never had surgery under Doctor Lü, but I probably know what's going on."

"If you're willing to go out with me, I'll tell you everything I know."

She spoke softly.

Xu Nan gave a dry laugh and pushed open the door to the Black Room. "Let's take a look at Veterinarian Lü's condition first."

"Let's wake him up first. Then I'm going to find a whip and give him a good beating."

Damn it, he really was a veterinarian. Then when he operated on me, didn't that mean I was...!?

Seeing Lü Junyi lying there, Gu Xiaomeng ran over to examine him with great professionalism.

She first used some methods from Earth to roughly check Lü Junyi's condition, but her brow remained tightly furrowed. She apparently had not found anything wrong.

Then she began chanting a prayer in a low voice.

Divine radiance carrying the aura of love descended from the sky.

Divine Art - Disease Identification!

A strange light flickered in Gu Xiaomeng's eyes.

Everyone watched her.

At last, she said with an odd expression, "Doctor Lü doesn't seem to be sick. It looks like he's just dreaming."

Shi Fanglin asked curiously, "Can you tell what he's dreaming about?"

Gu Xiaomeng's face flushed again. "A... wet dream."

Shi Fanglin said, "Give me a whip. I'm going to whip this idiot awake."

Who would have thought that at that moment, Lü Junyi suddenly opened his eyes and sprang upright stiffly:

"Run!"

"I slept with the Princess of the Arcane Empire. They've sent an entire Cloud Ascending Ship fleet after me to kill me."

...!
