The narrative shifted.
Watching Wu Hua depart with a face full of suppressed frustration and sorrow, Mi Kang paid him no mind. Given his status, his two younger sisters clearly favored Yang Feilong. If he were to try and retain Wu Hua or offer comfort, he would only be inviting trouble for himself.
His sisters would tease him relentlessly!
"Yang Feilong, would you be interested in joining us for a casual meal?" Mi Kang asked Yang Feilong with a smile.
"No need. Just transfer the winnings from the bet to me. I have other matters to attend to," Yang Feilong replied.
"Uh." Mi Kang's expression stiffened slightly. He had extended an invitation, and it had been refused?
How long had it been? When was the last time he had been refused an invitation? It felt like it was back when they were playing house as children!
"Pfft!" Mi Ya couldn't help but chuckle at the scene.
This was the Feilong brother they remembered, always speaking his mind directly.
"Feilong brother, well done! He always thought he was so amazing, didn't he? It's good to bring him back to reality," Xiao Jingwen said with a grin.
"..." Yang Feilong felt rather speechless. He just didn't want to eat, what was the big deal? Why the fuss and exaggeration?
Besides, his refusal wasn't directed at Mi Kang specifically, but rather because Mi Ya and Xiao Jingwen were present. These two women gave him a headache.
He had sensed their extraordinary backgrounds before, given their attire and the cars they drove. Furthermore, they always seemed to enjoy watching him fight, which was quite taxing. He wasn't someone who enjoyed fighting; he only acted when forced to.
"I really have something to do!" Yang Feilong shrugged.
"A meal doesn't take much time! And you promised us before that if we met again, you'd give us your contact information. You can't refuse that, can you?" Xiao Jingwen eyed Yang Feilong and couldn't help but say.
"Perhaps you're planning to escape again, like last time?" Mi Ya added, "You won't be able to escape this time!"
Hearing the two women's words, Yang Feilong said helplessly, "I'll have to ask my girlfriend about this!"
Before this, he had only been impersonating Han Yun's boyfriend. Now, he felt Han Yun would have to continue playing along with him, as he worried that Xiao Jingwen and Mi Ya might genuinely develop romantic feelings for him.
He didn't want to provoke these two little imps!
Therefore, the best approach was to thoroughly extinguish any such thoughts. This wasn't about overconfidence; it was about nipping any potential sprouts in the bud.
Han Yun was no ordinary person. She had seen much of the world. The few times she had lost her composure were solely because Yang Feilong's performance had far exceeded her expectations.
Now, she had fully recovered from her shock.
With just a glance from Yang Feilong, she understood his intent. It was a case of unspoken understanding.
"Husband, you must be tired after this morning for my sake. Since Young Master Mi has invited you, how can we refuse his kind offer?" Han Yun said with a charming smile, affectionately holding Yang Feilong's arm.
Yang Feilong's heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, he had been called "husband" by Luo Yujiao before, so he had some resilience. Even so, he almost let his guard down. At this moment, he wondered if continuing this act was the right thing to do.
"Hmm?" Both Mi Ya and Xiao Jingwen couldn't help but furrow their brows as they looked at Han Yun.
Just moments ago, they had concluded that Yang Feilong was impersonating Han Yun's boyfriend. Now, they were acting so intimately? He was even calling her "husband"?
"Are you sure you're a real couple?" Mi Ya asked with a frown. "It's an act, right?"
"My dear, of course, it's real. Can it be faked? Besides, isn't this proof enough?" Han Yun said, affectionately hugging Yang Feilong and smiling radiantly as she looked at Mi Ya.
"But if you're Feilong brother's girlfriend, why were you so surprised earlier? So, you're faking it!" Xiao Jingwen stated incisively.
However, Han Yun's expression remained unchanged. She chuckled and said, "My dear, you might be overthinking things. Although we've become a couple, it hasn't been for very long. And I didn't fall for him because of this. We haven't had the chance to display these things before, so naturally, I was surprised. Is that not possible?"
"Uh." Hearing this, both women were taken aback.
"But besides these things, what other merits does he have?" Xiao Jingwen was still unconvinced, stubbornly believing they weren't a couple.
"Alright, our love for each other has nothing to do with anyone else, and I'm too lazy to explain. But since you asked, and you're acquainted with my boyfriend, I don't mind telling you. My boyfriend and I are both university lecturers, and we're also neighbors." Han Yun smiled. "Your backgrounds are likely not simple. If you're willing to investigate, you should be able to find this out easily!"
At these words, the two women were stunned into silence.
Mi Kang was also dumbfounded. University lecturers?
Such young university lecturers?
"Don't you find it incredible? I'm several years older than him, but I was captivated by his exemplary teaching style," Han Yun said, looking at Yang Feilong as she spoke, her face flushed with a rosy glow, her eyes filled with tenderness.
Yang Feilong stared at Han Yun blankly. Was this real? The way she spoke, that enamored look in her eyes, it seemed so genuine! Had she trained her acting skills in Hollywood abroad?
He couldn't detect any flaws!
"Feilong brother, which university do you teach at? What do you teach?" Xiao Jingwen asked, looking at Yang Feilong with admiration.
"We both teach at Blue Sea University. He teaches diagnostic medicine, and his medical skills are incredibly advanced! In fact, his medical talent is even more remarkable than his martial arts talent. There's no illness he can't cure!" Han Yun said with a smile, speaking with pride in her voice.
This was the kind of pride only a true girlfriend could exhibit!
At this moment, the two girls and Mi Kang were completely convinced.
If they weren't a real couple, they couldn't have portrayed this level of genuine emotion.
For some reason, Xiao Jingwen and Mi Ya exchanged glances, feeling a pang of sadness in their hearts.
If it were an ordinary woman, they might still have a chance to compete. But this "sister" was too beautiful, and they were colleagues and neighbors. They saw each other every day, and their bond was likely unbreakable.
Competing with her would be difficult.
Of course, they weren't without hope. Although they hadn't fully matured, they were two individuals, and working together, they might be stronger than one.
However, was it right to try and break up their relationship?
Suddenly, both young imps fell into a state of hesitation!
"Medical skills?" Mi Kang and the two beautiful women reacted differently. Hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he eagerly asked, "Feilong brother, can you truly cure any illness?"
"My medical skills aren't that extraordinary. Of course, I can treat most illnesses," Yang Feilong replied modestly.
Indeed, he couldn't cure every illness; that would be too exaggerated. Even his master couldn't do that.
However, he could treat most illnesses.
Whether it was traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, or a combination of both, even treatment methods integrated with Qi cultivation techniques, he was quite proficient.
Therefore, being able to treat most illnesses was not an exaggeration!
"Feilong brother, come here for a moment, I need to ask you something," Mi Kang said, pulling Yang Feilong aside and speaking in a low voice.
"What is it?" Yang Feilong sensed that Mi Kang's question was likely of a private nature, otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to excuse himself from the three women.
After moving a short distance away, Mi Kang began to speak haltingly, "Feilong brother, that... I, I..."
His words were hesitant and incomplete.
"Actually, even if you don't say it, I can probably guess. You're experiencing some kind of problem, aren't you?" Yang Feilong said with a smile.
"You truly are a miracle doctor! You can tell just by looking? No, you can tell without even looking?" Mi Kang looked at Yang Feilong with great shock. While he had been skeptical of Yang Feilong's medical skills before, he was now completely convinced.
Yang Feilong possessed extraordinary medical abilities!
"I can infer it from your expression, your aura, the congestion in the corners of your eyes, and your hesitant speech!" Yang Feilong shrugged.
"Can you treat it? I've seen many doctors who consider themselves highly skilled, but they were all powerless!" Mi Kang said earnestly, his voice filled with urgency.
Although he didn't have a girlfriend yet, the main issue was that his reproductive capabilities were compromised, and he didn't have the energy for romance.
After all, even if he found a girlfriend, he would only be able to look but not use, which would be a tragic situation!
"Ordinary doctors may be unable to help, but that doesn't mean I can't!" Yang Feilong smiled.
"You can cure it? If you can cure me, I owe you a tremendous favor! And I'm willing to give you one hundred million in funds!" Mi Kang said repeatedly.
This was related to his lifelong happiness. A hundred million and a favor were naturally precious, but he didn't hesitate.
"Money is not important; this illness is not that difficult to treat," Yang Feilong said with a shrug and a smile. He didn't intend to accept the hundred million. Firstly, this illness wasn't that difficult to treat; it was even quite manageable. Other doctors couldn't cure it because they likely didn't know the root cause of Mi Kang's problem. Secondly, if he treated it easily, it might make Mi Kang feel it wasn't worth the price, leading to some resentment.
Perhaps there wouldn't be resentment, but he felt his treatment wouldn't be worth that much!
If he accepted it, he might turn into someone solely driven by profit!
Of course, there were other reasons as well.
Considering everything, Yang Feilong decided not to accept Mi Kang's reward. This way, Mi Kang would be immensely grateful to him, and if he ever needed help in the future, Mi Kang would undoubtedly assist him without hesitation.
"If you can cure me, you will be my great benefactor from now on!" Mi Kang said excitedly. "When can you start the treatment?"
"Let's wait until after lunch," Yang Feilong said after a moment of thought. "I've used up quite a bit of energy, and I need to recover."
This was also a reason for his departure. While his victory seemed simple, who knew how difficult it had actually been?
It was like shooting and archery. Others saw him hitting the target repeatedly and assumed he had practiced diligently. But in reality, he had never truly practiced. As he told Han Yun, he had only used a slingshot to shoot birds before!
Why was he able to so overwhelmingly crush Wu Hua?
It was because he had used his spiritual consciousness!
Repeatedly activating his spiritual consciousness consumed a great deal of energy. He had left to rest properly.
"Naturally. I'll prepare some top-grade heavenly treasures for your recuperation," Mi Kang said repeatedly.
After all, his problem hadn't arisen overnight, and there was no rush. He had to ensure his doctor was fully recovered before seeing him, to avoid any accidents due to fatigue. It would be too late for regrets then!
"Alright!" Yang Feilong nodded.
...
In a lounge.
Yang Feilong looked at the heavenly treasures before him with a sense of awe. "Truly wealthy people! They even have these kinds of heavenly treasures for physical recuperation!"
"If I can refine these heavenly treasures, it might not only restore my energy but also elevate my cultivation to the next level!"
His cultivation was on the verge of reaching the middle stage of Qi Refining Triple Layer. He had been stuck at this point for a long time. Now, with these heavenly treasures, breaking through would be much easier.
Of course, the most important factor was that he had reached the critical point for advancement.
"This lounge must be for VIPs. They've even set up formations!" Yang Feilong couldn't help but shake his head. Although it was just a simple spirit gathering formation, it was constructed using spirit stones.
Absorbing the heavenly treasures here would yield better results!
*Whoosh, whoosh~*
Soon, Yang Feilong entered a state of cultivation.
The heavenly treasures before him vanished at a visible rate. When Yang Feilong began to absorb them, he was still somewhat fatigued. However, as time passed, his condition improved, and his complexion became more radiant.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Yang Feilong's aura suddenly surged significantly.
This surge in aura indicated that Yang Feilong's cultivation had officially broken through, reaching the middle stage of Qi Refining Triple Layer.
The breakthrough in cultivation naturally brought an increase in strength!
However, he did not stop cultivating, as he had not fully absorbed the medicinal properties of the heavenly treasures and didn't want to waste them.
*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~*
Another two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Yang Feilong awoke from his cultivation. Looking at his aura again, it had returned to its calm and composed state.
"I never expected that when I came out, I was at the peak of the early stage of Qi Refining Triple Layer, and now I've reached the great accomplishment of the middle stage of Qi Refining Triple Layer. I'm not far from reaching the peak now!" Yang Feilong said with emotion in his eyes.
