Chapter 329 Dr. Bo's Devouring Ability

Since Zuo Shan was unwilling to stay at home to rest during her pregnancy, after discussing it with his grandson, Grandpa Caesar decided to let her continue to stay at school to accompany her.

Because the academy is the safest place in the central area, from the very beginning of its establishment, the heads of all the major families voted to pass a pact:

No one is allowed to use force in the academy under any pretext. Anyone who violates this agreement will become a wanted criminal hunted by all the major families.

The reason the heads of the families agreed to this covenant was that every family had young children, and no matter how much the adults fought among themselves, they could not threaten the safety of the young children.

Otherwise, once this breach is made, there will never be another place in the world where cubs can grow up completely.

Therefore, for Zuo Shan, who is pregnant, staying at the academy to accompany her studies is actually the safest option.

After returning from Augustine's place, Morti decided to personally escort his wife and children to the academy.

On the way, he kept nagging, "Chen, you're already a seven-year-old big boy, and soon you'll be a big brother."

You're a man now. Remember to care for your mother and sister at school, and don't make your mother angry.

Make sure she eats, drinks, and rests well every day. If she feels unwell anywhere, remember to see Dr. Bo immediately and then send me a video call so I can monitor her throughout the process.

"Dad, are you worried about Mom being alone with Dr. Bo? Oh, don't worry, Dr. Bo may be okay-looking, but he's nowhere near as good-looking as you."

Besides, he only has medical skills and medicine in his eyes, he wouldn't even glance at a woman.

I noticed many female tutors trying to get close to him, but he would just glare at them and say, "I just concocted a highly poisonous potion; anyone who's not afraid to die, come at me."

Then, all those pretty female tutors were scared away by him. "Ah Chen whispered, he was happy to share the gossip about the academy with his father, who had transformed into a naive and no longer aloof man.

"Did he scare your mother away?" Xiaobai asked.

“My mother prepares poison herself every day, how could she be scared away by him?”

No, Mom wouldn't go near him for no reason, unless there was a need.

For example, if I am poisoned, I need Dr. Bo's treatment; or if she encounters a problem in preparing poison, she needs to consult Dr. Bo.

"In short, Mom never goes to the school clinic unless she needs Dr. Bo," Chen said.

Left Fan: After her son's analysis, how did she become such a materialistic person?

Xiao Bai: If I knew medicine, I could also create a clone. He didn't want anyone else to become the person she needed.

Zuo Shan had just finished accompanying her son to his half-day cultural classes and was about to take him to the cafeteria for lunch when she saw Bo Yiyan walking towards her in a suit.

"Oh! Isn't this the young mistress of the Lan Dun family? You look quite well today. Hmm, that makes sense, people are in high spirits when they have good news!" Bo said, glancing at her sideways.

"Hehe, you're quite well-informed!" Zuo Shan said.

"It's not that I'm well-informed, but as soon as Modi's proposal was successful, the servants of the Lan Dun family immediately spread the good news to their close friends."

Then the news spread like wildfire, and I was fortunate enough to overhear it myself,” Bo said.

His expression was neither gloating nor mocking; in short, it wasn't genuinely happy for her.

"Six years have passed, it's time for a resolution. Besides, I specifically consulted the dean, and he allowed me to continue tutoring Achen after I get married, as long as I don't use the identity of Mrs. Lan Dun while I'm at the academy," Zuo Shan said.

"I thought you didn't want the identity of Mrs. Landun at all." Bo Yiyan's tone carried a hint of grievance that he himself was unaware of.

“He said if I didn’t want to be Mrs. Lanton, he could put my surname before his own,” Zuo Shan said.

"Ha! I never expected him to be so shameless. I'm truly ashamed of myself!" Bo Yiyan exaggeratedly raised his voice.

Then, he seemed to finally realize his abnormality, and put on a grinning face, saying, "Hey, you're practically my apprentice, so if you get bullied in the future, don't just suffer in silence, come to me for help!"

"Don't tell me you're a healer who can take on three on the battlefield!" Zuo Shan joked.

"There are always some geniuses in this world that you can't imagine, like that guy Modi, who can not only throw ice blocks, but also teleport."

As for me, besides healing, I also know a little bit of this…” he said, flicking his fingertips, and a wisp of gray light enveloped a vibrant weed in the garden next to him.

The next second, the grass withered and fell to the ground, as if all its vitality had been drained away in an instant.

"What is this?" Zuo Shan was stunned.

"Shh! Keep this a secret! This skill of mine is unique in the world, there's no other like it! Its name is—Devour!"

Bo winked at her, his eyes sparkling like black grapes, looking pure and harmless.

Zuo Shan couldn't help but shiver. Only now did she understand why this person was called "one word that decides life and death".

The green superpower flowing from his fingertips can heal wounds and save lives, but at the same time, he can also unleash gray superpowers that devour plants and even the life force of all living things.

In a sense, this superpower can no longer be described as "terrifying"; it is terrifying to the point of defying the heavens!

"You, you, you should be more careful in the future. If your enemies find out about this ability, they will definitely do everything they can to kill you!" Zuo Shan said after being stunned for a while.

"Hahaha! I didn't expect you to react like that! Okay, I got it, see you later!" He laughed, then waved to her and left.

This woman was indeed different from others. Those who had seen him use his devouring ability before either had intense fear and dread in their eyes, or were filled with greed and excitement.

They believed he was the embodiment of darkness and evil, so he granted their wish, giving them endless darkness so that they would never have the chance to open their eyes to see the light again.

After the initial shock, all that remained in her eyes was deep worry.

She worried that his possession of a treasure would attract unwanted attention and assassination attempts. Even though she could see the darkness within him, she still looked at him with eyes full of light.

Faced with her like this, he had no choice but to suppress his own darkness.

**

Even after lunch, Zuo Shan was still thinking about Dr. Bo's devouring ability.

After spending several months together, she had come to regard him as a friend, although sometimes she felt that someone who could concoct so many poisons couldn't possibly be just a doctor.

He must have countless secrets, but she never liked to pry into other people's secrets. It's actually quite good for everyone to keep their own space; it doesn't affect the relationship between them at all.

But today, he so unexpectedly exposed his biggest secret to her. At least before this, she had never heard of the existence of such a superpower as devouring.

After learning this secret, besides worrying about his safety, I felt even more heartache.

Having lived in this wasteland for over seven years, she knew that some people's superpowers were awakened in the face of life and death.

For example, Lele awakened her superpowers when she was on the verge of death.

What kind of desperate situation was Bo Yiyan forced into that made him awaken this devouring ability?

On one hand, there is healing; on the other, there is devouring. To what extent must a person's spirit be split to awaken these two contradictory superpowers simultaneously?

The Bo Yiyan we see today is the great physician who has successfully reached the top and whose words can decide life and death. But who cares about the trauma he once suffered?

This is a wasteland. People care about food, natural disasters, and mutated beast tides. No one cares about the tragic experiences that Bo Yiyan had when he was young and weak.

The reason she cares now is simply because she has money and free time. If it were when she first transmigrated, she would only care about whether she could gather an edible wild vegetable today.

But times have changed. Now she and Bo Yiyan are friends. Even if she can't heal his past wounds, at least she can give him a little warmth.
