You Call Me "Wife" When You Need Me, Then "Doctor" When You're Done?

Late at night, an uninvited guest arrived at Ling Xi's room.

Sakura cautiously slipped in through the window, then slowly approached the bedside. Silently, she raised the Katana she had already drawn, preparing to take her target's head, but...

"Um?"

Just as Sakura was about to make her move, she suddenly saw a familiar face. It was...

In an instant, Sakura remembered the day half a month ago when she accompanied her sister to a concert, the day Rin was almost hit by a car. It was this person in front of her who saved Rin. If it weren't for him, Rin might not be by her side now...

No wonder... I felt so familiar with the name Ling Xi. It was because I had heard it about half a month ago... when a certain little girl called out that name.

Sakura silently sheathed her Katana. Although the mission was important, but...

"Whoosh..."

Suddenly, Ling Xi yanked off the blanket and pounced on Ying.

"Um?"

Sakura instinctively slashed out with her sword, then swung her right hand towards Ling Xi's head...

"Huh?"

At that moment, Sakura reacted quickly and adjusted the direction of her right hand, directly avoiding Ling Xi's head. She was also startled and broke out in a cold sweat; it was a conditioned reflex!

Dawnbreaker!

At this moment, Ling Xi also took out the Dawnbreaker and slashed directly at Ying's head!

"Etc!"

Sakura seemed to want to say something, but the attack had already arrived, so she had no choice but to swing her sword to block.

"Bang!"

"Ping ping..."

The sound of weapons clashing instantly filled the room!

"Wait, I'm not your enemy!"

Sakura didn't want to continue fighting Ling Xi, so she quickly spoke up, hoping that Ling Xi would stop attacking.

However, Ling Xi wasn't stupid. This guy was practically holding a knife to his own throat. If it weren't for Sirin's desperate reminder, he would have been dead. And now... he hadn't expected that the other party wouldn't target the Doctor anymore, but would come after him directly...

Damn it, we've got a grudge now!

"Lightning!"

Seizing the opportunity, Ling Xi unleashed a lightning attack...

"Awoo..."

Sakura was hit directly when she was completely unprepared.

Suddenly, she felt her whole body go numb, as if she had lost all sensation. In that instant, Ling Xi's knife was already slashing towards her, and... it was aimed directly at her head.

Cherry"!!!"

"Kiana!"

Left with no other choice, Sakura activated her ability directly. Instantly, Sakura gained 0.5 seconds more time. It was this 0.5 seconds...

"Whoosh!"

Sakura narrowly dodged the sword strike, but Ling Xi sliced off half of her mask with a single stroke, and the remaining half...

"Splash..."

It landed directly on the ground!

Oh no...

Sakura was utterly speechless. Now... Ling Xi had seen her! And if Ling Xi discovered that it was she who wanted to attack him, then...

"Who are you?"

In that instant, Ling Xi also recognized Ying. What the hell is going on?

"Don't move!"

Although she didn't know what was going on, Ling Xi immediately pressed her sword against Ying's neck. "Put down your weapon!"

"Thump..."

Without hesitation, Sakura threw the Katana to the ground. If she were facing a real enemy, she would never yield but would choose to fight back. But now she was facing Ling Xi, so... she felt helpless and guilty!

However, I must also make it clear that I really didn't know the target would be Ling Xi!

No, to be precise, he knew the target's name was Ling Xi, but he didn't know that he was Ling Xi.

"You are... Sakura, right?"

Although Ying had already dropped her weapon, Ling Xi remained vigilant. After all, this girl was one of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, and even if she wasn't Flame-Chasing Moths yet, she absolutely couldn't let her guard down.

"It's me."

Sakura nodded silently, not hiding anything, and said, "But I can explain."

"Explain?"

Ling Xi's gaze darkened. "I have no interest in hearing the explanations of those who want to kill me."

"Hmm..."

After Ling Xi said that, Ying didn't know what to say, because no matter what the process or the outcome was, it couldn't change the fact that she wanted to kill Ling Xi before, although... that was entirely because she didn't know that he was Ling Xi.

"I know you might not believe me, but..."

Sakura said firmly, "I still hope you can listen to my explanation. After you hear it, you can do whatever you want with me, but I don't want you to misunderstand me. I am by no means an ungrateful person."

At that moment, Ling Xi was also in a dilemma; she herself...

What should we do?

He showed no mercy to his enemies, whether it was the one he encountered with the Doctor at the beach or the "Shadow" from the Mu Continent; he showed no mercy whatsoever. But...

Faced with Sakura, this future Fused Warrior, he really didn't know what to do, should he just kill her and end it all?

Perhaps this is the best choice, but...

If Sakura is gone, the plot will fall apart like this, and... what about Rin?

Without a winner, Ling Xi didn't think Ling could leave Changkong City alive, and... even if she did survive by chance, who would take care of her?

Moreover, Sakura had clearly already slashed at us with her sword, but suddenly changed the direction of her attack...

"Whoosh..."

Ling Xi took a deep breath, then reached out and began to grope Ying's body...

"Hmm..."

Sakura blushed slightly, but she didn't flinch or resist; she knew what Ling Xi was doing.

Finally, Ling Xi found two more daggers on Ying's body and then removed the Dawnbreaker that was held to Ying's neck.

"Whoosh..."

In the darkness, a sound of wind suddenly swept through the air...

"Um?"

Sakura immediately realized what this was; it was...

Kiana!

In an instant, Sakura activated her ability again and lunged directly at Ling Xi...

From Ling Xi's perspective, it was as if Sakura had teleported directly to his side and then pounced on him...

"Puff..."

Then, a muffled thud sounded, and at the same time, Ling Xi felt a wad of cotton hit her face. The two of them fell onto the bed together...

"What are you planning to do now?"

Ling Xi immediately tried to push Ying away, on guard. "Don't think I'll forgive you just because you hit me in the face with cotton. Let me tell you, I am..."

"Um?"

Suddenly, Ling Xi noticed that Ying hadn't moved, and at the same time...

"What's this?"

Ling Xi's right hand, which had been holding Ying's back, felt a little sticky. Through the dim moonlight, Ling Xi saw that it was...

Bloodstains?

"Cherry!"

Ling Xi immediately hugged Ying and placed her on the bed, while anxiously checking on Ying's condition.

"There are still enemies..."

Sakura, breathing heavily, uttered these last words, and then... completely lost consciousness.

"Cherry..."

At this moment, Ling Xi also noticed that there was an arrow stuck in Ying's back.

Judging from the position, if Sakura hadn't grabbed him, then... that arrow would have hit his head.

Ling Xi: "..." What's going on? Didn't you come here to kill me?

Chapter 101: Call me "wife" when needed, and "Doctor" when it's over?

Looking at Sakura lying face down on the bed, and the arrow on her back, Ling Xi was truly bewildered. Sakura had clearly come to kill him, but that arrow was definitely aimed at him, yet Sakura had blocked it for him. This was...

Is this some kind of self-inflicted injury scheme?

By this time, the one who shot the arrow had already escaped, and besides, he wasn't skilled at nighttime tracking, so...

Ling Xi looked at Sakura, who had lost consciousness, again. She really couldn't bring herself to stand by and watch her die.

"Ling Xi, it's time to make a choice."

Just then, Sirin burst out and said, "Right now, a girl is lying unconscious in front of you. So, what is your choice?"

[A: Be clear about your grudges and rescue the other party, then find out the reason! Mission Reward: Random Kiana's Imprint *1!]

[B: Cut it in two, throw it out, and let it fend for itself! Mission Reward: Supply Card *10!]

[C: Of course! Hurry up and eat it while it's hot! Mission Reward: I Love a Shiba Inu!]

Ling Xi "..."

I won't go into detail about the first two items, but what the heck is C? Also, didn't this reward already appear a month ago? Why is it back again?

"Sirin, can I throw it out while it's still hot, and then retrieve it to save the other person?"

Ling Xi deliberately asked Sirin this question, wondering if it could trigger a system bug!

In response to Ling Xi's question, Sirin silently offered a new option.

[D: Strike while the iron is hot, then throw them away, and finally save them! Mission Reward: All of the above! But there's a 99% chance you'll be beheaded twice afterwards!]

Ling Xi: "..." Holy crap, that actually works, but...

"Sigh, consider it something I owe you..."

Ling Xi shook her head helplessly, then gently picked up Ying and prepared to take her to the research institute. After all, she didn't know how to treat this kind of injury, so she decided to take her to Mobius's wife. Although the Doctor wasn't a physician, she was a scientist researching biological genes, so she was quite skilled in treatment.

In some aspects, they are even more skilled than professional medical experts.

In the room on the second floor of the laboratory...

"Ding ding ding..."

Mobius was awakened from his sleep by the ringing of his cell phone.

Mobius "..."

Mobius immediately felt extremely annoyed. Who was calling her in the middle of the night? However, she still answered the phone because her phone was set up so that only certain numbers she had selected could call her at this time of night, such as Klein, Cangxuan, and Ling Xi!
