It landed right in my palm, and I grabbed it. Turns out, this thing really can hear what's being said outside. Looks like this space is much easier to utilize now; I'll have to study it properly when I have some free time.
Lan Ya Mei, beaming with excitement, brandished her water gun and exclaimed, "Look!"
He lit a flame with a lighter, handed it to the white-haired mouse, took two steps back, aimed the water gun, and was about to fire.
The strategist shouted, "Stop!"
Lan Ya Mei stopped.
“Master Nan, this woman is a bit strange. What if she tries something under your nose? Wouldn’t that white-haired rat be…” Before the strategist could finish speaking, everyone understood what he meant.
"I'm sorry, it was my oversight." Lan Yamei didn't argue.
Feeling scared of the unfamiliar, I grabbed a lighter, lit it, and placed it on the ground. Standing back, I held the water gun with both hands, aimed, and pulled the trigger.
A jet of water shot out, extinguishing the flames in one fell swoop.
Lan Yamei spread her hands and said to Master Nan, "It's over!"
"Is it over?" Master Nan's mind went blank.
"What a trivial trick! What's the point?" The strategist felt his intelligence was being insulted.
Three grown men, standing here watching a young girl put out a fire with water—what a disgrace!
Only the white-haired rat couldn't help but chuckle. He only managed to suppress it when he saw the displeased looks from Master Nan and the strategist.
"Everyone, please calm down! This thing was invented for a reason. If the tinderbox was extinguished by water today, it probably would never be able to start a fire again, right?" Lan Yamei picked up the lighter on the ground and shook off the water. "But what is this? This is Boundless Flowing Fire! An inextinguishable flame!"
With that, he pressed the switch, and with a click, the small blue flame reignited.
Everyone suddenly realized that this was how Boundless Flowing Fire was used.
Nanfang Nan touched the jade pendant at her waist again, and the archers hidden outside breathed a sigh of relief and disappeared again.
Lan Yamei closed the lighter cap, and the flame went out with a click.
"I'll believe you for now! So how do you plan to treat my burns?" Nanfang Nan asked.
"I have a unique formula that no one in the martial arts world has ever seen. Once I meet Doctor Mei and Master Ouyang, I will immediately use it on you for the first time. I guarantee that you will recover 30% by tomorrow after tonight."
At this moment, two guards brought up Granny Guan and Grandpa Ouyang. Grandpa Ouyang was in relatively good spirits and helped Granny Guan up, but Granny Guan was in a terrible state. She was suffering from severe hypoglycemia and was practically dragged up.
Lan Yamei quickly helped Aunt Guan up, her face slightly pale, and asked, "What did you do?"
"She didn't do anything! She just refused to eat or drink, and we made sure to bring her every meal." The strategist said casually, his hands hanging limply.
Aunt Guan lifted her heavy eyelids and tried to say something to Lan Ya Mei, but her dry, cracked, and bleeding lips could only open and close without making a sound.
Although Grandpa Ouyang was in slightly better condition, he was still on the verge of collapse, completely dehydrated and parched. He couldn't utter a sound, and could only hold Grandma Guan tightly.
Lan Yamei was extremely anxious, but she couldn't treat them in front of so many people, so she could only say, "Master Nan, I would like to treat the two of them first, could you do me a favor?"
Before Master Nan could speak, the advisor rebuked him, "Outrageous! Don't forget what you're here for! As long as Master Nan's facial injury doesn't heal, they'll keep him locked up for another day."
"Alright, I'll give you the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. If you have the ability to save them, I'll trust you completely." Master Nan waved his hand in agreement.
Lan Yamei said, "This is an exclusive secret technique that cannot be shared. Please give the three of us a quiet corner, Master Nan."
"Approved."
After Master Nan spoke, the white-haired rat pointed behind the screen.
Lan Yamei didn't mind, and she and Grandpa Ouyang helped Grandma Guan into the screen.
Lan Yamei said to Grandpa Ouyang, "Could you get me a basin of water? I'll wipe Grandma Guan's face first."
As soon as Grandpa Ouyang turned to leave, Lan Yamei quickly took out a bottle of glucose from her spatial storage, unscrewed the cap, and said to Aunt Guan, "Don't open your eyes, and don't ask me what I'm giving you to drink. Open your mouth!"
Having lived together for so long, the two naturally had a very good understanding. Aunt Guan, avoiding her eyes, gulped down a thousand milliliters of glucose in less than two minutes.
When Grandpa Ouyang returned from fetching water, Aunt Guan's pale face had regained some color.
As soon as Grandpa Ouyang came in, he saw her and said excitedly, "Amei, you look much better."
With her strength restored, Aunt Guan let out a long sigh and said, "Close your eyes, don't ask anything, just drink whatever I give you." After saying that, she closed her eyes first.
Lan Yamei then took out a bottle of glucose and brought it to Grandpa Ouyang's lips. Ouyang didn't suspect anything, closed his eyes, and gulped it down.
After Lan Yamei put the bottle away, the two opened their eyes without asking any questions or doubts.
Follow Lan Ya Mei out from behind the screen.
The three people outside the hall were shocked!
The two, who were just moments ago extremely weak, now had a healthy glow and their energy had recovered to about 50-60%.
"Looks like you've got some skills!" The strategist couldn't help but feel unconvinced, and he stopped calling her a "little girl" from his mouth.
“Master Nan, please let Uncle Ouyang go back. Aunt Guan and I will stay and treat your face. Uncle Ouyang is getting old, and the clinic opens tomorrow. He has many things to manage. Please, Master Nan, be lenient and do us this favor,” Lan Yamei said sincerely.
“Okay!” Nanfang Nan readily agreed, willing to make concessions in exchange for greater benefits.
"Thank you, Master Nan!" Lan Yamei said hurriedly, turning around to push Master Ouyang away. They could get rid of him as soon as possible, and they would deal with the rest later.
"Wait!" Nanfang Nan said, "Let me make this clear: don't say what you shouldn't say, or don't blame me for being ruthless." Nanfang Nan's words were laced with ruthlessness.
