Bai Luo noticed the astonishment in her eyes.

Jiang Nannan lowered her little face, not daring to look up at all.

She did not know why she had suddenly made such a bold move.

Perhaps it was the sense of crisis Ma Xiaotao had brought her.

Or perhaps Bai Luo's sense of security had made her blood rush to her head, causing her to do something so intimate that she had only ever dared imagine before.

Tang Ya, who had been eating grilled fish beside them, no longer had the mind to savor the fragrant fish in her hand.

She blankly gave Jiang Nannan a thumbs-up.

She had previously worried that Jiang Nannan was too reserved and that some other girl might beat her to the punch.

She had planned to have a proper talk with her after they returned.

Now, it seemed there was no need for that.

She felt that she still knew far too little about her good friend.

She truly stayed silent until she stunned everyone with a single move!

Huo Yuhao had noticed Jiang Nannan's action as well.

He felt a little conflicted.

So, should he start calling Jiang Nannan his sister-in-law now?

As the center of everyone's attention, Jiang Nannan could no longer sit still.

She stood up from Bai Luo's arms.

With her little face lowered, she hurriedly said:

"Xiao Luo, I just remembered that I still have something to do. I'll be leaving first!"

After saying that.

Jiang Nannan hurried into the academy as though fleeing for her life.

She feared that if she stayed any longer, she might truly faint on the spot from embarrassment!

Bai Luo watched Jiang Nannan's flustered retreating figure.

He touched the corner of his mouth.

A different kind of ripple suddenly stirred in his heart.

His feelings toward Jiang Nannan had also undergone a subtle change because of her action.

After Jiang Nannan left.

Bai Luo did not linger for long either.

After bidding Huo Yuhao farewell, he returned to his own clinic in the city.

At the entrance of the clinic.

He saw a familiar figure.

Why was she here?

Bai Luo was somewhat surprised.

He walked over and said coldly:

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

Wang Dong paced about outside the clinic.

She had been hesitating over whether to go in.

The sudden voice immediately interrupted her thoughts.

Her body trembled slightly.

She turned her head to look.

Bai Luo's handsome face, as refined as an immortal cast down from the heavens, entered her sight.

Wang Dong instinctively took several steps back.

Bai Luo had left a rather deep psychological shadow on her.

"Y-you, why are you here?!"

Wang Dong crossed her hands before her chest in a defensive posture.

She stared at Bai Luo with a wary expression.

Surely this guy had not chased her all the way here to kill her, right?

Had she not already been taught a lesson?

Ignoring Wang Dong's guarded gaze.

Bai Luo rolled his eyes.

Speechless, he said:

"This is my clinic. Why do you think I'm here?"

"You're that legendary little divine doctor?"

Wang Dong froze.

Looking at the guy before her, who had pinned her onto a stone bench and whipped her with a golden wheat stalk not long ago.

She truly found it difficult to connect him with the little divine doctor of legend, the benevolent healer praised by everyone.

How could someone with such a terrible personality possibly be the gentle, tender little divine doctor those people spoke of?

"What else would I be?"

Bai Luo ignored her, stepped forward, and pushed open the clinic doors.

Hearing the movement, a beautiful woman came out from inside.

She was petite, wearing an apron and holding a spatula, dressed like a little cook. She had probably just come out of the kitchen.

It was Huo Yuhao's mother, whom Bai Luo had once pulled back from the brink of death at the White Tiger Duke's Estate.

To repay Bai Luo for saving her life, she had stayed at his clinic as his assistant.

She was responsible for taking care of his daily needs.

"Boss, you're back!"

Seeing him, a sincere smile appeared on Huo Yun'er's still-charming face.

Her gratitude toward Bai Luo was no less than Huo Yuhao's.

Their benefactor had pulled mother and son out of that dark mire.

That was why they could have the lives they did now.

Huo Yun'er was very satisfied with her current life.

Bai Luo never deliberately exploited her.

Usually, she only needed to handle a few household chores.

Compared with the life she had led at the White Tiger Duke's Estate, where she had neither enough food nor warm clothes and had to endure others' bullying, this was simply paradise.

"Just one more dish, and we can eat soon."

"Mhm. Thanks for your hard work, Auntie Yun."

Bai Luo nodded slightly.

Huo Yun'er's cooking was beyond reproach.

Huo Yuhao's culinary skills had likely been inherited from her.

Even though Bai Luo's current cultivation allowed him to go without food for a very long time.

His three meals a day remained remarkably regular.

Some people ate to fulfill the basic needs of life, while others ate to satisfy their appetite.

"You really are that little divine doctor?"

Seeing the familiar exchange between Huo Yun'er and Bai Luo.

Wang Dong finally believed that Bai Luo was the little divine doctor from the rumors.

"Isn't it obvious?"

Bai Luo replied flatly.

"If there's nothing else, leave."

After saying that, he did not spare Wang Dong another glance and was about to enter the clinic.

So what if she was the daughter of a God King?

She was nothing special here.

Seeing Bai Luo about to close the clinic doors.

Wang Dong hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted her silver teeth and called out:

"Wait!"

She strode into the clinic.

Looking at this inexplicable young miss, traces of impatience appeared between Bai Luo's brows.

"What else is it?"

Wang Dong's little face reddened.

"I want treatment."

"The clinic is closed today. I'm not seeing patients."

"I don't care. You have to take responsibility!"

Wang Dong stamped her foot.

Huo Yun'er poked her head out from the kitchen.

She looked at Wang Dong, who was so delicate she resembled a girl, then looked at Bai Luo.

As though she had discovered some great secret, she revealed a meaningful smile before withdrawing her head again.

Bai Luo's face darkened.

He felt that if he let this young miss continue saying such scandalous things, his reputation would be completely ruined.

Bai Luo had reason to suspect that this young miss was deliberately doing this to ruin his reputation and retaliate for what he had done to her before.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Bai Luo gritted his teeth.

"I'm not wrong."

Seeing Bai Luo look slightly exasperated, Wang Dong became even more energized.

She put her hands on her hips, looking utterly justified.

"I came to the clinic because of you in the first place."

"Shouldn't you take responsibility?"

Toward the end, Wang Dong's voice lowered again.

She shyly glanced behind her.

If it were not for Bai Luo, would she have needed to come here for treatment?

That bastard had truly hit hard!

She had not recovered for quite a while.

Now, every time she sat down, the pain made her bare her teeth.

Classes started tomorrow, so she could not simply ignore it.

She was worried that seeking treatment at the academy infirmary would expose her identity as a girl.

She had heard that Shrek City had a clinic renowned for its miraculous healing, which was why she had come here.

But she had never imagined that the owner of this clinic, famous throughout the city—the little divine doctor—would actually be that bastard Bai Luo!
