Chapter 3882 contains practical tips for neutralizing the Dragon Lord's acidity.
Ah Xi Ruo actually arrived at Qilin City on the night of the Lantern Festival... but she did not keep her bold promise made on the plane.
After the plane arrived, she left everyone behind and went back to her little apartment.
I'm nobody special, and they didn't invite me. What right do I have to go to [Ruguoting] when they're all having a great time with their friends and family...
"Sister Long, you're back! You've become sour!"
"...Luo Pianxian, I think you're itching for a bite!"
Snapped--!
It really has a high-quality feel.
"Eh??"
As if she had swallowed an entire volcano, Sister Long had a cold face and then returned to her room without saying a word, leaving Little Butterfly Fairy and Ji Ran looking at each other in bewilderment.
Since Ji Ran was a recent graduate from "outside the city" and had no relatives in the "local area," Xiao Dieyao naturally invited her to stay for dinner on this holiday.
In fact, Ji Ran really had no relatives in this small world. When she went back to her rented place, she ate alone, watched dramas alone, and cast spells alone... But it wasn't good to always cast spells alone, so she simply accepted Luo Pianxian's request.
Who knows how she developed this peculiar hobby of casting spells?
—It must be the fault of the "Sweet Home" dating group!
"Dr. Ji, it seems you didn't go back to your hometown for the Chinese New Year. Aren't your family worried?"
"I don't actually have any particularly close family members (I have too many sisters, I can't get along with them all)." Ji Ran said casually.
The little butterfly fairy, who was already quite worldly-wise, didn't ask any more questions. "It seems that Sister Long is probably not going to come down to eat. I prepared a lot of delicious food... Dr. Ji, please take some back with you later!"
—That's a good option.
—She hasn't received her salary this month yet... She's already spent all the money Xi Ruo gave her last time.
Fruit assassins, ice cream assassins, beverage assassins, bread assassins, roadside food stall assassins—this little world is too dangerous, assassins are everywhere!
"Then wait here for a moment, it will be ready soon."
"You're busy, I'll take care of myself."
Watching Luo Pianxian go off to do her work, Ji Ran casually walked into the living room of the hospital's residential area and sat down... There were updates in the "Sweet Home" social group on her phone.
The group chat has already been updated with more than a dozen part-time job postings tonight, so the workload is quite large.
However, none of the part-time job information in this group was posted by Sister Qing... Sister Qing hasn't appeared in the group for quite some time—some people in the group who aren't very familiar with her even joked that she might have gone into hiding to have a baby.
After all, Sister Qing... and Aunt Qing are a "canary" who has come ashore.
After lazily scrolling through the latest news, Ji Ran closed [Sweet Home]... Maybe she should just go help with the cooking?
Just as Ji Ran was about to leave, she suddenly received another text message.
—【Master】: I've prepared a gift for you and placed it in your room. Happy Lantern Festival.
"!!!"
Ji Ran stared incredulously at the chat interface that was set to be pinned to the top, and it took her a long time to react!
gift!
It was a gift from the cold-faced master!
She even thought that her master might not even remember that she was a student!
"So Master did think of me after all..." Ji Ran felt a little sweet inside... The resentment she felt from being left here immediately lessened.
……
As usual, Luo Pianxian, who was busy in the kitchen, skillfully opened the overhead cabinet and took out the seasonings.
But at that moment, she found a small gift box, no bigger than the palm of her hand, in the spot she usually reached for.
Happy Lantern Festival.
—By: Luo
"This is... the boss's..."
--happy.
……
Meanwhile, upstairs.
Ah Xiruo returned to her room with a dark expression, and subconsciously frowned as she stood in front of the door... A faint, eerie blue light, which she recognized all too well, was shining through the crack in the door.
Ah Xiruo suddenly opened the door and saw that her game pod was already activated—a humanoid creature was lying inside.
Yes, to Ah Xiruo, Su Zijun was just a humanoid creature!
"How could I forget that brat..."
She went to the United Nations and asked Su Zijun to give Ziling's mother a ride... This kid didn't even go back to [Xuanyuan Palace] today?
Ah Xiruo was stunned for a moment, then her expression changed slightly—Su Zijun was using her game pod, which meant that she was logging into her own game character!
Oh my god!
【Your man doesn't want you anymore!】This account has too many things that can't be said, can't be revealed, can't be known by others, and 【special】 props...and secrets!
laugh!
A slight sound came from the pneumatic door of the game pod... and then Su Zijun slowly sat up after removing the connection item.
She clearly knew that Xi Ruo had returned, and was now looking at the Dragon Lord, whose face was as black as ink, with a half-smile.
"I think I've seen a lot of amazing things, someone."
"Su! Zi! Jun!"
"If you dare touch me, tomorrow the entire land will know what a terrible person their revered Dragon Lord is!"
Ah Xiruo's face darkened even more.
Suddenly, she frowned, then silently opened the small refrigerator in the room, took out a can of wheat juice, and started drinking it by herself, completely ignoring Su Zijun's presence.
"What, have you given up struggling?" Su Zijun rolled out of the game pod—her movements could only be described as rolling.
Ah Xi Ruo didn't want to talk to the other person and cut off eye contact.
The wealthy woman, Su Wanru, felt like she'd punched a pillow. "So, shall I announce it then?"
Ah Xiruo then glanced at Su Zijun casually, "I'm just curious, do you have my login password? If not, you can only create a new account to browse around."
"...Tsk!"
Rich woman Su kicked a cushion off the floor, crossed her arms, and sat down on a beanbag chair, stretching out her legs side by side in white, silky socks that shimmered like satin.
Eyes wide open.
In the end, it was Ah Xiruo who took the initiative to break the ice, saying helplessly, "Why aren't you going back to Xuanyuan Palace today? What are you doing staying here?"
"It's too far, I don't want to go back." Su Zijun said coldly. "But someone else, in such a beautiful season, can only hide in his room alone drinking wheat juice. How pitiful."
This is truly rubbing salt in the wound... Ah, Xi Ruo's temples are starting to bulge with veins.
"It's better than you, the guy who just hangs out in someone else's house."
Su Zijun snorted coldly and turned her face away.
...Someone else's house?
Ah Xiruo opened her mouth, but regretted it a little after she said it... She sighed softly, reached out and opened the small refrigerator again, and took out a bottle containing a golden-red liquid from the very back—yes, it was an ordinary mineral water bottle.
She threw it at Su Zijun.
The wealthy woman, Su, instinctively took the bottle, staring blankly at the viscous, golden-red liquid inside.
"Drink it, it's expired, it won't kill you," Ah Xiruo said calmly.
Su Zijun remained silent for a while before lowering her head and pointing to a certain spot in the room, muttering, "There's something there. It was there when I came in. It should be for you."
"What's the matter?"
Ah Xi Ruo glanced at it subconsciously... just a small, inconspicuous bag: a gift bag.
Su Zijun did not answer.
Ah Xi Ruo sighed, then lazily crawled over and curiously picked up the paper gift bag to look at it a few times... There was nothing marked on it.
She glanced at Su Zijun with a puzzled look... The girl was still staring blankly at the bottle in her hand.
Ah Xiruo couldn't help but chuckle to herself: Little brat, I can easily handle you, okay?
So Ah Xiruo casually opened the gift bag and glanced inside—inside was a box of sanitary products labeled with things like "ultra-thin," "0.01," "36 pieces," and "extra large"!
"!!!!!!"
Damn it...
A surge of heat instantly rushed to Ah Xiruo's head. Her instinctive reaction was, "Could this thing have been sent by that scoundrel? What does he want to do?!"
With a gurgling sound, Ah Xiruo, feeling guilty, hurriedly hugged the bag to her chest, then secretly glanced at Su Zijun—who had her head down and whose shoulders were trembling slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Ah Xiruo was stunned again... Wait, why is this girl so moved today?
"Hey...are you okay?"
"Pfft!" Su Zijun suddenly clutched her stomach and burst into laughter. "You old hag, are you feeling restless and agitated right now? Are 36 enough for you? Hahahaha!!!"
"...You put it there?!"
"Hahahahahaha!!!"
……
Thud, thud, thud... thud—!
Ji Ran, who was idly scrolling through videos in the living room, looked up in surprise. She saw dust falling from the ceiling. "...Um, Pianxian, Dr. Long is upstairs. Is that alright?"
The little butterfly fairy, whose smile hadn't faded since coming out of the kitchen, waved her hand and said, "It's alright, they do this all the time. A good beating will do the trick! Let's eat!"
Ji Ran's expression was slightly strange... What do you mean, "a beating is all it takes"?
Are there other people upstairs?
Thud, thud... thud!
It's almost like an earthquake!
……
As the saying goes, "If you don't discipline someone for three days, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles." For Ah Xi Ruo, the rich woman Su is just such a person—her half-demon drought demon constitution is very resilient to beatings.
But Ah Xiruo still easily suppressed Su Zijun... The rich woman, whose eye was swollen from being beaten, was sitting with her back pressed down by Ah Xiruo, while her legs were being pulled hard under Ah Xiruo's armpits.
"Old woman, you're bullying me!!"
"Shut up, this is punishment!"
Within the forbidden zone of the extraordinary, the adult female Dragon Lord was utterly powerless against the young girl Su Zijun, a wealthy woman. Enraged, the true dragon was truly willing to fight, and immediately swung Su Zijun up again, slamming her to the ground repeatedly.
A box the size of a palm, due to the violent impact, suddenly fell out from Su Zijun's clothes.
"What's the matter?"
With her face bruised and nose swollen, Su Zijun gritted her teeth and snorted coldly, remaining fully alert... This old hag really dares to beat someone to death!
Ah Xiruo frowned, picked up the box, and the moment she held it, a familiar feeling welled up in her heart. She glanced at Su Zijun and frowned, saying, "Could this be the thing that was originally in the bag?"
Su Zijun glanced at the sky, shrugged, and said, "Just consider it a gift from your lover!"
mistress……
Ah Xiruo's other temple also began to show a ferocious blue vein.
"What's inside?" Ah Xiruo asked in a deep voice—she'd already been tricked by this brat once!
"How would I know?" Su Zijun rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "I simply can't open it!"
Ah Xi Ruo tentatively opened the box with suspicion... It opened very easily, and inside the box was a small sandalwood comb that had turned yellow.
Ah Xiruo's gaze flickered slightly. One side of the comb was engraved with an ancient script: [For my beloved daughter, Xiruo]
"What is this... a comb?"
“My comb…” Ah Xi Ruo said blankly, “It was a gift from my mother. When I was little, I went to play at the beach and somehow lost it. I’ve never been able to find it since.”
Looking at Ah Xiruo's silent face, Su Zijun opened her mouth, and finally sighed, "Only that guy could find it so easily... Tsk, no wonder you got caught up in it, who could resist?"
He was originally a dragon king in the heavens, but he accidentally fell to the mortal world.
Su Zijun naturally knew how terrifying Boss Luo was... She suddenly hesitated about her sudden idea one day - the other party was too good at manipulating people's hearts, and even more so at understanding them.
He would talk to me like he would to an old woman…
"This is boring!" Su Zijun shook her head. "Old woman, you can stay here and keep running a fever! This princess is going to have some fun in the [Paradise of Bliss]! Hehehe!"
Ah Xi Ruo ignored her... and the rich woman Su left at some point.
She pushed open the window and sat by the window, holding the sandalwood comb she had lost and found in her hand. The moon tonight was just like it was back then. "Don't be so good to me..."
……
……
"See you tomorrow, Dr. Ji!"
"Okay, see you tomorrow!"
Drink up, eat your fill, and you can even take some home... Ji Ran left the hospital completely satisfied, riding the three-handed electric scooter she had acquired, speeding all the way back to her rented studio apartment.
As soon as she got back to her apartment, Ji Ran couldn't wait to find the holiday gift that Master Youye had given her—it was placed on her bed.
It consists of a set of fine crystal needles and a notebook that records how to use these crystal needles to pierce the soul.
"!!"
Ji Ran's eyes widened in disbelief—this was the very soul healing technique she had most wanted to learn when she became an apprentice!
"Does this mean Master acknowledges me...?"
This brought tears to Ji Ran's eyes—ever since she was thrown into the hospital as an undercover agent, she felt like she had been abandoned.
"Master Youye usually seems cold-faced... but he still cares about me!"
dong dong dong——!
The sound of knocking on the door.
"Who is it at this hour..." Ji Ran was somewhat taken aback.
In this world, apart from Luo Pianxian, she basically had no friends... and knew very few people—after a slight hesitation, Ji Ran quickly put away the crystal needle, then flipped her hand, and a slender silver needle appeared between her fingers.
"coming!"
Open the door!
There stood two women in front of the door—both women that Ji Ran knew.
Chen Keqing... Sister Qing, and Yuanyuan, who was pale and could only be supported by Sister Qing.
"you……"
"Let us in first." Without saying a word, Sister Qing helped Yuanyuan into the room and then carefully placed Yuanyuan on the ground.
"What happened?" Ji Ran was immediately startled. "How did she get so badly injured?"
Yuanyuan's abdomen was stained bright red.
Sister Qing frowned and said, "It's not something that can be explained in a short time... Xiao Ji, do you have a way to give Yuanyuan first aid?"
"Why didn't you take him to the hospital?" Ji Ran asked instinctively.
"We can't go!" Sister Qing took a deep breath and pleaded, "Xiao Ji, please help us... save them first, okay?"
Ji Ran hesitated for a moment, "A doctor's heart is like a parent's. I can save people, but you must be honest with me after the treatment."
"I promise you."
