Shu Bai scoffed lightly, her small face tense: "I can change whenever I want, what's it to you?"
The next second, he suddenly realized that he was being lifted into the air by Li Yuheng, his small body dangling in the air, his feet far off the ground.
Shu Bai: "..."
An ominous premonition welled up in his heart. He froze, struggled to kick his legs, and said in a cold voice, "Put me down."
A sly glint flashed in Li Yuheng's eyes. Instead of letting go, he deliberately lifted him even higher, a mischievous smile playing on his lips: "Put him down? Fine—"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly let go!
Shu Bai's pupils contracted sharply, and his body fell uncontrollably downwards, but just before he hit the ground, Li Yuheng caught him steadily and tossed him upwards!
"Li Yuheng! You—"
Shu Bai's voice abruptly stopped in mid-air, and he was thrown even higher, his hair exploding like fireworks.
Li Yuheng laughed wildly, caught him precisely, and tossed him up again: "Wow, little Shubai is flying!"
Shu Bai: "...!"
This lunatic!
They actually tossed him around like a ball!
Shu Bai's face turned bright red with anger, and she gritted her teeth: "You...are...asking for...death!"
Li Yuheng ignored him and instead intensified his efforts, tossing him even higher with a forceful throw: "One more time!"
"Put me down!"
"Okay, okay, I'll put you down~" Li Yuheng agreed verbally, but his hand made a feint, pretending to let go, which startled Shu Bai, who subconsciously grabbed his collar.
After Shu Bai realized what had happened, her face darkened even more: "...You did this on purpose."
Li Yuheng blinked, looking completely innocent: "No, I was just worried you'd fall."
"...This is the last warning. Put me down."
Li Yuheng knew when to stop. He carefully placed Shu Bai on the ground and even tidied up his disheveled collar for him, saying, "Oh, I won't bother you anymore."
Shu Bai slapped his hand away, "You're crazy."
"Thank you for the compliment~" Li Yuheng bowed shamelessly, "But I prefer the title 'cosmic-level handsome guy' to 'crazy person'."
"..."
Shu Bai turned and left, her back view revealing a stubbornness, but the red on the tips of her ears lingered.
Li Yuheng stood there, a smug smile on his lips, and said to 0090 in his mind, "Little system, did you see that? This is the charm of your young master."
0090: [...]
It silently watched Shu Bai's departing figure, then looked at its host's handsome face that screamed "I'm the most handsome man in the world," and for a moment it didn't know what to say.
Li Yuheng said smugly, "I've only been in this world for a little over a day, and not only have I successfully won over my wife, but we even kissed just now. Tsk tsk, I'm impressed with my own efficiency."
0090 couldn't help but remind her: [Your Highness, Shu Bai just tried to kill you... Are you sure you've succeeded?]
"What do you know?" Li Yuheng waved his hand dismissively. "Hitting is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love, killing me is a sign of deep love. Besides, he didn't even lay a hand on me, did he?"
0090: [...]
That's because they can't kill it, right?
The Crown Prince's thought process can no longer be described as "unique"; it's simply "divine."
Li Yuheng straightened his collar, his face serious: "Little system, do you know what the biggest trouble is when a man is as handsome as me?"
0090 asked numbly, "What?"
“It’s like people fall in love with me wherever I go.” Li Yuheng looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and sighed sadly. “Sometimes I really wish I were uglier, so that I could hurt fewer innocent hearts.”
0090: [...]
It decided to shut up.
Li Yuheng watched Shu Bai's small figure disappear around the street corner before turning his gaze away and slowly stretching.
“Little system,” he called out to 0090 in his mind, “get me a map of this town.”
0090: [Your Highness, you've finally remembered to investigate the truth?]
“Of course,” Li Yuheng said, hands in his pockets, walking with an air of nonchalance. “After all, someone as smart as me would be doing a disservice to my genius brain if I didn’t solve a case.”
0090 silently pulled up a yellowed parchment map: [This is the entire view of the Silent Town.]
Li Yuheng glanced at the map and his gaze settled on a building in the center of town.
"Hmm... this will do."
...
The church sits on a high point in the center of the town, its spire piercing the sky.
The gate was half-open, and the inside was pitch black, like a gaping maw waiting for its prey to walk into its trap.
Li Yuheng stood at the bottom of the steps, looking up at the twisted cross at the top of the church: "Little system, do you think this cross is upright or upside down?"
0090: [From your perspective, it's correct.]
"oh."
He stepped onto the stairs and had just reached the door when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Master! What brings you here?"
Li Yuheng stood on the steps in front of the church, squinting at Li Qiyang who was running over breathlessly.
This guy not only changed his white coat, but also somehow got a black mask, leaving only his eyes showing, making him look like a robber preparing to rob a bank.
“Li Qiyang?” Li Yuheng raised an eyebrow. “Your look is quite unique.”
Li Qiyang awkwardly tugged at his mask: "Um... the townspeople said I was a messenger of the devil, so I..."
"Do you think you're some kind of masked superhero?" Li Yuheng scoffed, reaching out to pull off his mask.
Li Qiyang quickly took two steps back: "No, no, no! Master, this mask can help me conceal my identity!"
"Hidden identity?" Li Yuheng looked him up and down. "With your sneaky appearance, I could recognize you from two miles away."
Li Qiyang swallowed hard and lowered his voice, "Master, what are you doing here? I was just captured here... That painting is too eerie, let's go..."
"Let's go?" Li Yuheng glanced at him with a half-smile. "Weren't you going to investigate the strange illness in the town? The clues might be inside."
Li Qiyang's face turned pale: "But..."
"Scared?" Li Yuheng patted his shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Li Qiyang, being a doctor requires a spirit of dedication. Look at Norman Bethune, who traveled thousands of miles to China to treat people; how touching!"
Li Qiyang: "...Bethune was a proper surgeon, I was just a traveling doctor!"
“Pretty much, pretty much, they’re all from the ‘medical’ generation.” Li Yuheng pushed him into the church without further ado. “Come on, let me show you the world. Let’s go.”
