The general fatigue and weakness in my body, as well as the lingering pain after the onset of the evil energy, all indicate that this is not a dream.

Ouyang Shaogong had already put down what he was doing, walked to the bedside, and smiled, "Young hero, you're awake. Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Baili Tusu lowered his eyelids slightly, concealing the complex emotions in his eyes. His cold voice was hoarse and weak due to his physical condition: "It's nothing."

Ouyang Shaogong looked at his face and curled his lips into an ambiguous smile: "It seems that nothing is wrong."

Baili Tusu: "..."

"It's not a good thing to avoid seeking medical treatment." How many times had Ouyang Shaogong seen patients who used various methods to avoid seeing a doctor? Although he wasn't really a busybody, the sense of familiarity he felt from this young hero when they first met made him say something involuntarily.

Baili Tusu: "..."

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that his husband's words sounded a bit like he was coaxing a child.

Although Baili Tusu is only sixteen years old now, and is indeed still just a boy, he considers himself to be an adult because he has lived two lives.

Immediately, Baili Tusu changed the subject with a blank expression, saying, "Thank you for your help."

“It is a doctor’s duty to heal the sick and save lives, there is no need for thanks.” Ouyang Shaogong said, taking the Fenji sword, which had been re-wrapped in cloth, from the table and handing it to Baili Tusu. “Because you were unconscious before, I took the liberty of taking this sword. Now that you have woken up, I will return it to its rightful owner.”

Baili Tusu stared at the sword in silence for a long time before taking it.

After waking up for a short while, the young hero's body had recovered. Seeing that his complexion had improved, Ouyang Shaogong smiled and said goodbye, then got up and walked out of the cabin.

On the bow of the ship, Long Xun and Yin Chen stood side by side, looking at the brightly lit shore and the bustling crowds. Both Ouyang Shaogong and Yin Chen, who had known him well after spending a long time together, could see that the Dragon God's expression had become increasingly unpleasant ever since Ouyang Shaogong went in to treat Baili Tusu.

Yin Chen was completely baffled, so he tried to change the subject to ease his partner's mood.

Long Xun noticed Ouyang Shaogong coming out, turned around to look at his adopted son, and after holding back for a long time, he couldn't help but say in a low voice, "You do care about him."

Ouyang Shaogong smiled slightly: "Young Hero Baili rescued me in Fanyun Village. He is currently in trouble, and I will do my best to help him."

For some reason, Ouyang Shaogong felt that his godfather's expression hadn't changed, but his aura had become even darker, and he could almost see black energy emanating from behind him.

Long Xun, who seemed to come alive whenever Yin Chen was around, silently experienced the subtle yet undeniable emotions in his heart, and in the end, he simply withdrew his gaze and looked back into the distance.

Yin Chen asked, "Is Young Master Baili alright?"

Ouyang Shaogong shook his head and frowned slightly: "He's fine for now, but his soul is full of malevolent energy, which flares up every new moon... To cure him completely, we need a treasure that targets the soul."

For example, Yuheng.

Ouyang Shaogong had tried it, and the Jade Balance fragments did have some effect on calming his evil aura. If it were the complete Jade Balance, his adoptive father could definitely ensure that Baili Tusu would have no more worries.

However, he only has one fragment of the Jade Balance now, and the matter of the Jade Balance is quite extensive. Although he knows a little about Lei Yan's plans, he doesn't know where the fragments are scattered, so he needs to think about it carefully.

It's not too late to ask his adoptive father for help after Yuheng is complete—his adoptive father may seem cold, but he has a really good heart.

When Baili Tusu stepped out of the cabin after tidying himself up, he looked up and saw his master standing with two rather familiar-looking people. If he remembered correctly, they were the two people he had seen before his evil aura flared up.

Could it be that they brought him to see Mr. Ouyang?

Yes, Mr. Ouyang is a famous doctor in Qinchuan. They would naturally bring him here if they saw that he was unwell.

"Young Master Baili." Ouyang Shaogong greeted Baili Tusu. The young master nodded silently and walked to his side. As soon as he stood still, he felt an inexplicable chill envelop him.

He looked up and saw that the man in black armor who had been facing away from him had turned around. His handsome face made him momentarily lose his composure, but he was quickly brought back to his senses by the other man's cold gaze.

For some reason, he felt a lot of pressure from this person's gaze.

Long Xun stared silently at Baili Tusu Li! He was standing very close to Ouyang Shao Gong, and he wanted to kick him into the water at any moment.

Ouyang Shaogong sensed that the atmosphere was a bit strange and wondered what his godfather was thinking about. So he introduced them first: "Young Master Baili, this is my godfather Long Xun, and this is my godfather's partner, my godfather Yin Chen."

Baili Tusu: "..."

Wait a minute, sir, it was a bit windy just now, I didn't hear you clearly... What did you say? Godfather? Godfather? Partner?!

Completely bewildered, Baili Tusu was stunned, not knowing whether to be shocked that the two men had become partners or that Mr. Ouyang actually had a godfather in this life.
