The hospital corridor.
You could have heard a pin drop!
No one had expected Lin Dong to be so ruthless, killing without hesitation in broad daylight!
Zhou Gong swallowed again and again!
Only after a long while...
Did he finally snap out of it and hurriedly pull out his phone.
"Thank you."
Bai Ruobing wheeled herself over to Lin Dong, sincere gratitude in her cool voice.
Looking at her face, so similar to Bai Ruoxue's, Lin Dong said calmly:
"Don't thank me. I killed her purely because she wanted to kill me."
"I know."
Lin Dong's reflection filled Bai Ruobing's cool eyes. "I'm thanking you because you let my little sister take the credit, giving her a chance to live."
Lin Dong grinned and asked, "How's Ruoxue doing?"
Bai Ruobing instinctively glanced at the hospital room before answering, "The initial treatment is basically complete, and the backlash has been cleared away. Her life has been saved."
"But her injuries are severe. She still needs rest."
Before Lin Dong could respond, a teasing voice suddenly rang out. "Little Bingbing, you're not being honest! Why aren't you telling him the whole truth?"
Lin Dong instinctively glanced at Bai Ruobing, then followed the voice toward the hospital room.
The next second!
A gorgeous woman in a very sexy outfit appeared in his field of view!
Huge!
Absolutely huge!
The first impression she gave Lin Dong was a shock beyond words!
A slender stem bearing enormous fruit!
Towering waves!
They quivered with every step she took!
Outrageously exaggerated!
Even the murderous aura around Lin Dong diminished a little at the sight.
"Little brother! Do you like big sis that much?"
The gorgeous woman acted as though they were already close, utterly shameless. She immediately draped an arm around Lin Dong's shoulders and pulled him against her chest. "Big sis likes manly little brothers too!"
"Holy shit!"
A rich rose fragrance flooded Lin Dong's nose, and he hurriedly tried to take two steps back.
But what happened next shocked him even more!
Even with his strength, he couldn't break free of this gorgeous woman?!
In his normal form, Lin Dong already had nearly 150 strength points!
Even a level 30 Martial Marquis might not have that much strength!
Yet this woman actually outmatched him in strength?!
"Ooh~ You're pretty strong, little brother!"
Amusement filled the gorgeous woman's narrow, foxlike eyes. "No wonder those useless members of the Bai Family were no match for you."
"Big sis loves strong boys!"
"Auntie Liu, please stop teasing him and let go of my captain."
Zhou Gong seemed to know the gorgeous woman. He stepped forward and warned her, "My grandpa will be here soon."
"You little brat! How many times have I told you?! Call me big sis when we're out!"
Displeasure flashed across the face of the gorgeous woman he had called Auntie Liu, and she snapped, "Aren't you all monkey spirits? How come you haven't got any of a monkey's cleverness?!"
"Apologize! Or I'll beat you up!"
Seeing her brows shoot up, Zhou Gong didn't dare argue. He quickly lowered his head. "Big... Sis Liu, I'm sorry."
"Look at you, you big oaf!"
Liu Ruyan gave Zhou Gong a disdainful glance, then gave Lin Dong another squeeze against her chest. "This little brother is much more lovable."
"I'm super strong!"
Lin Dong struggled against Liu Ruyan again, only to discover that she was even stronger than he had imagined!
No matter how much force he exerted, the sexy woman before him didn't budge!
How much strength did she have?
Three hundred?
Five hundred?
How could a woman have put so many points into strength?!
"Big Sis Liu!"
Seeing this, Zhou Gong hurriedly said, "My grandpa is already on his way."
"You oaf, do you really think I'm afraid of your family's old man?!"
Liu Ruyan gave a petulant snort, but she still released Lin Dong. "Little brother, what Bingbing just said wasn't accurate. Xue'er's injuries are worse than you think."
Lin Dong had been about to ask Zhou Gong about her, but those words made his expression turn grave. He asked seriously:
"What do you mean?"
A pretty smile curved Liu Ruyan's lips as she said softly:
"Xue'er suffered severe backlash. All her internal organs were shattered. Even I could only barely keep her alive."
"Even if she recovers, she'll be an invalid who can't even get out of bed."
"And... her throat is completely ruined. We've confirmed that she can no longer speak."
"Huh?!"
Lin Dong turned to look at Bai Ruobing.
"Don't look at Bingbing. She's proud and doesn't like asking for help."
For once, Liu Ruyan explained on Bai Ruobing's behalf. "You gave up your chance to advance straight to the second round. To Bingbing, that's already an enormous favor. She doesn't want to owe you anything more."
Lin Dong fell silent.
Although this was his first time meeting Bai Ruobing, their earlier confrontation had already shown him what kind of person she was.
He also knew Liu Ruyan was right.
Liu Ruyan giggled. "If you want to save Xue'er, big sis can help."
"And big sis can also help with your conflict with the Bai Family."
"Just say the word, and I'll take care of any retaliation from the Bai Family."
Lin Dong curled his lips. "I doubt it's that simple, is it?"
"Oh, you're so mean~"
Liu Ruyan shot Lin Dong a flirtatious look. "Big sis only has this one little hobby. Why do you have to spell it out?"
Like hell I'd believe you!
Lin Dong silently scoffed, pulled Zhou Gong aside with one hand, and asked quietly, "Just who is she?"
"She's from the Naruto Liu Family."
Zhou Gong answered at once.
"The Naruto Liu Family?" Lin Dong's brow furrowed even deeper.
"That's right."
Zhou Gong nodded and explained:
"Through various chance encounters, some people gain favor with other factions or individuals in secret realms. They then choose to stop trying to win over the Child of Destiny and form a contract with someone else instead."
"Our Zhou Family formed a contract with the Ape God. The Liu Family did something similar."
"I see."
An answer began taking shape in Lin Dong's mind. He asked, "Who from Naruto did the Liu Family form a contract with?"
"Those are family secrets. They're never shared with outsiders!"
Zhou Gong first gave that hushed reply before continuing, "But I once heard Grandpa mention that the Liu Family might have won over a gambler from Naruto called 'Tsunade.'"
"I once saw her from a distance in a secret realm. She's a complete drunk and gambling addict, up to her neck in gambling debts."
"I have no idea how the Liu Family discovered her secrets."
"Anyway, the Liu Family is now famous for its medical skills. The medical ninja treating Bai Ruoxue this time is Liu Ruyan."
It really is her!
After hearing Zhou Gong's explanation, Lin Dong silently confirmed his guess. In all of Naruto, Tsunade was probably the only one who matched Liu Ruyan's traits!
He hadn't expected this woman to have inherited Tsunade's abilities!
No wonder she was so strong!
But...
At that thought, Lin Dong couldn't help glancing again at Liu Ruyan's clothes, which looked ready to burst. He silently grumbled, This inheritance is way too faithful to the original!
Every one of Tsunade's assets got passed down!
Liu Ruyan keenly noticed his gaze and giggled. "Little brother, do you like what you see?"
