The Warmhearted Doctor Lu

Bang!

Suddenly, a figure radiating waves of Yang energy burst in.

He looked at "Fang Lanyue," who had only one hand sticking out, and gave her a sinister smile.

"I love prey that comes right to my door!" Lu Siye grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth. He looked delighted.

Before the words had even left his mouth, Lu Siye gathered his Beiming internal energy in his hand and reached for her wrist.

"Fang Lanyue" hadn't expected Lu Siye to attack so decisively. She didn't react in time, and he caught her wrist.

"Get out here!" Lu Siye gave a wicked grin, grabbed her wrist, and hauled her out with all his strength.

The Mirror Ghost was terrified. Damn it! His strength had already recovered! Fear Points +88!

Hearing the notification by his ear, Lu Siye was speechless. He wanted to complain that the Luo network's information was hopelessly outdated.

"Ah!" A shrill scream rang out. Lu Siye yanked "Fang Lanyue" straight out of the mirror and slammed her against the wall. For a moment, she was stuck there, unable to fall.

Fang Lanyue was startled. Oh my God, who's screaming so horribly in the middle of the night? Fear Points +76!

Lu Siye's eyes lit up. As expected, Fang Lanyue was a treasure trove of Fear Points.

A second or two later, "Fang Lanyue" slid off the wall with a splat, like a limp lump of dough.

She stared blankly at the ceiling, as if the impact had left her dazed.

"Hey! Wake up!" A familiar large face suddenly appeared in front of her, shouting at her.

"Fang Lanyue's" eyes slowly came into focus. When she recognized the face before her, her features twisted, terror written all over her.

Holy shit! Holy shit! Fear Points +99!

A high-pitched scream erupted in the bathroom. "Fang Lanyue" sprang off the floor and shot toward the mirror like a blur.

Bang!

"Fang Lanyue" slammed into the mirror, making a sizzling sound like meat hitting a hot griddle.

She let out a pained cry, clutched her forehead, and collapsed onto the floor.

The moment Lu Siye had pulled the Mirror Ghost out of the mirror, he had covered the entire bathroom in Yang energy, cutting off every possible escape route.

The Mirror Ghost was horrified. Why? Why couldn't she get back in? Fear Points +99!

"Hey, could you change your face? I'm having a hard time bringing myself to lay a hand on this one." Lu Siye had appeared behind the Mirror Ghost at some point. He patted her shoulder and spoke with an amiable smile.

Mirror Ghosts had two main abilities. The first was replacement: they could imitate anyone who had looked into a mirror, and once their appearance and behavior were identical to that person's, they could take their place.

Shi Yimin, from next door, had nearly been replaced by the Mirror Ghost earlier, but Lu Siye had interrupted the process just in time.

The other ability was mirror-walking: they could travel between different mirrors, vanishing and reappearing like ghosts.

Ah...

The Mirror Ghost's heart trembled. She instinctively looked up, only to see a long, slender fruit knife in Lu Siye's hand. He was watching her with a thoroughly malicious expression.

Suddenly, she remembered a line in the intel she had received from her superiors. It described Lu Siye like this:

"This brat has a truly vile personality and enjoys cutting out the kidneys of ghosts!"

The Mirror Ghost trembled all over and backed away again and again, until she reached a corner with nowhere left to retreat.

She pressed her aching lower back against the wall and huddled in the corner, shivering like a weak, helpless, pitiful little girl.

"Now, now, don't be scared. Your big brother here isn't a good person, you know!" Lu Siye flashed a mouthful of white teeth, his tone very friendly.

"Don't come any closer!"...

After hearing that, the Mirror Ghost trembled even harder.

At that moment, this man seemed three times more terrifying than an Evil Ghost—he was practically a vengeful spirit wearing human skin.

She couldn't beat him and couldn't escape. She might as well fight him!

The Mirror Ghost's courage rose with her wickedness. She let out a piercing shriek and lunged at him.

Smack!

A crisp slap rang out. The Mirror Ghost clutched her deformed head and squeezed back into the corner like a quail.

Although this Mirror Ghost was much stronger than the one from next door, and was on the level of a high-grade Evil Ghost, Lu Siye still subdued her with a single slap.

"Miss, you look pale, and your whole body feels cold. You must have too much Yin energy in your body."

"In the five elements, the kidneys belong to water and govern Yin. Your kidneys must be the problem. In my years of experience, I can tell you that cutting them out is all it takes."

"I, Doctor Lu, can't stand to see anyone sick. Let me treat you for free. I guarantee my knife will cure what ails you." Lu Siye spoke with a solemn expression.

Although the Mirror Ghost wasn't human, he still couldn't bear to see her sick.

He couldn't help it. That was just how warmhearted Doctor Lu was.

Then he bent down, grabbed the Mirror Ghost by the ankle, and dragged her out of the corner.

"No! Please, let me go! I won't do it again!" The Mirror Ghost screamed and struggled frantically, but against overwhelming strength, all her efforts were futile.

"Don't worry. Not a single patient I've treated has ever left a bad review!" Lu Siye wasn't lying. After all, the dead couldn't leave bad reviews.

Lu Siye absorbed most of the Yin energy from her body. Once her resistance had clearly weakened, he rolled her over, pressing her chest to the floor and lifting her lower back.

"No... Please..."

The Mirror Ghost now hated the person who had given her false information. They had said Lu Siye was seriously injured and his strength greatly diminished. It had all been a lie!

"Now, patient, please cooperate and hold still. I'm about to begin! Hehehe!"

An eerie laugh rang out in the bathroom, accompanied by the Evil Ghost's shrill screams. The sounds rose and fell in a surprisingly steady rhythm.

A few minutes later, Lu Siye washed his hands, opened the bathroom door, and stepped out.

By then, the Mirror Ghost had vanished from the bathroom without a trace.

This Mirror Ghost had been far more resilient than the disc seller in the box back then. She had endured the entire operation, contributing 1,356 Fear Points.

Fang Lanyue, who had been startled while eavesdropping in the bedroom, had also provided nearly a thousand Fear Points. His total had now reached 7,539.

Lu Siye pushed open the bedroom door. Ignoring Fang Lanyue, who was shivering under the covers, he went straight to the computer and sat down.

He reopened the Luo network's hitman website, selected the welfare coupon with the longest term, and clicked purchase.

"Purchase failed. You have been blacklisted by this website."

"Please. You're the only surviving evil organization in Jiuzhou, and you can't even afford to take this little loss? Pathetic!" Lu Siye scowled at the message on the website.

"There's no more wool to fleece. The night's still young, so I might as well keep cultivating." Lu Siye sighed.

He glanced at Fang Lanyue, who was still hiding under the covers, then opened the bedroom door and returned to the living room. After swallowing a Blood Spirit Pill, he continued cultivating the Indestructible Divine Skill.
