Chapter 1510: Chapter 671: Anxious Road Ahead (Part 2)

At this moment, Ding Hui spoke up.

"My dear, you don’t quite understand. If you want to fleece one sheep, no one would be willing. But if everyone shares the cost equally, naturally someone would be willing to do something to please us. With someone taking the lead, it becomes much easier to manage."

Ding Hui spoke confidently, and Song Zhenrong opened his mouth, then slowly closed it.

He actually tended to believe that the merchants also hoped the team could be stable, so they sent personnel to assist.

However, Song Zhenrong had to admit that what Ding Hui said made sense as well.

"Greetings, Mr. Diao! Lord Ding!"

At this time, the few people that Song Zhenrong brought over also saluted Fang Yu and Ding Hui.

Although the number of people is still a bit small, using these few as the cornerstone and adding some weaker personnel would be sufficient to maintain tasks like patrolling and such for the team.

Currently, from any aspect, the whole team still appears a bit rough and needs to be refined; nevertheless, it’s indeed starting to develop steadily but positively.

"Captain Song, as for how to arrange the guards for night watch and patrols, how to expand and manage personnel, I believe you, as the Captain of Foolish Underworld, should be quite experienced in these matters. I’ll leave it to you, both my dear and I are quite assured. Just see to the arrangements."

In this regard, Ding Hui is somewhat similar to Fang Yu; both are not particularly inclined to manage such trivial matters.

Fang Yu nodded and said, "Thank you, Captain Song. You guys, listen to Captain Song’s arrangements in the future, alright?"

"Yes!"

These few people, although they come from different leaders, receive the same order.

Naturally, they do whatever Fang Yu says.

Quite a few people, though restrained, still steal curious glances at Fang Yu.

This rumored strong figure who fought his way out during the city gate chaos is somewhat different from how they imagined.

They wonder if working under this person’s leadership might earn them some useful guidance.

As Fang Yu waved his hand, Song Zhenrong led these people out of the tent.

But as he was about to exit the tent, Song Zhenrong suddenly stopped and turned to salute Ding Hui.

"Divine Doctor Ding, regarding my sister Song Xi’s treatment today..."

"Just bring her here later."

"Yes!"

Song Zhenrong’s face showed joy as he retreated.

Seeing people had left, Fang Yu quietly asked about the previous interrupted question in a low voice this time.

"Song Xi has become like that, are you really confident in restoring her... to human form?"

Indeed, Fang Yu even used the term "restore to human form."

After all, Song Xi had turned into a small lump of flesh, apart from panting, Fang Yu couldn’t tell she’s still a person.

"I’ve boasted, how can it be fake? Despite her appearance, here, is very well preserved."

Ding Hui extended a finger, pointing precisely at her own head.

Fang Yu: "..."

What’s the use of just having a complete brain.

Moreover, that body size, it seems even the brain has shrunk, right?

It’s solely due to Ding Hui’s miraculous methods that Fang Yu felt slightly lacking in confidence.

Had it been someone else, Fang Yu would’ve long allowed Song Zhenrong to give up hope on Song Xi surviving.

"In a certain sense, Diao Ruru’s situation is somewhat similar to Song Xi’s current predicament. You rest assured, I’ll first try with Song Xi; if successful, when the opportunity arises, I’ll help Diao Ruru restore her body, essentially gaining more experience."

Ding Hui said with a slight contemplation.

But the content of the words made Fang Yu sweat a bit on his forehead.

You’re still using Song Xi as a test subject??

Please don’t... she’s already this pitiful, just treat her properly if you can, don’t use her for research...

Moreover, without suitable materials for medicinal body, the best level achievable currently is merely letting the second sister’s consciousness awaken within her own body; even your experience might not be applicable.

Fang Yu was about to speak when Song Zhenrong had already brought over a palm-sized lump of flesh.

Fang Yu quickly closed his mouth; he dared not discuss this matter in front of Song Zhenrong.

"Divine Doctor Ding, I entrust Song Xi to you, I’ll let Liu Xiao stay, waiting at the door. Once Divine Doctor Ding is done, instruct him to inform me."

Song Zhenrong is very busy; with both Fang Yu and Ding Hui not managing affairs, Song Zhenrong handled almost all matters regarding the team, without distinguishing between sizes, and everything was arranged orderly.

Not only Fang Yu endorsed Song Zhenrong, but given Song Zhenrong’s reputation accumulated over the years in Thunder City, people in the team, whether common folks or those with power, greatly recognized Song Zhenrong.

Hence, he is equivalent to holding multiple roles, being almost perpetually busy.

Fang Yu waved his hand, signaling Song Zhenrong to leave at ease, then turned to look at the tumor placed in Ding Hui’s palm, emitting a slightly squelchy sound.

Who would have thought that Song Xi would end up turning into something like this?

But honestly, without Song Xi’s help, that night in Thunder City, the outcome of his situation would have been uncertain.

As for Liu Xiao, he is the son of Liu Bixin, whom he rescued from the Pig Demon this morning.

A sixteen-year-old boy, with some semblance of a grown man, stood straight outside the tent, as if engaged in some important matter, bearing a solemn expression.

But in reality, with his strength, besides running errands and transmitting messages, he could only handle some odd jobs.

Watching Ding Hui place Song Xi on a small folding stool, then take out a bunch of bottles and jars from the tent’s backpack, Fang Yu’s heart sank.

He knew Ding Hui was about to begin the procedure.

Now that the team had some experts patrolling, along with Song Zhenrong’s oversight, temporarily logging out of the game shouldn’t be an issue. Fang Yu thought of logging out first to see if Lei Shenhao had reached out.

Having finally received intelligence from Lian Xiaoya, Fang Yu was eager to have someone investigate promptly.

However, just then, with her back to him and already starting to pierce the tumor, Ding Hui suddenly spoke.

"Husband, our next target is to go to the Capital, right?"

"Uh-huh."

"Husband seems to have no clear understanding of the Capital, huh."

"What understanding?" Fang Yu was puzzled.

Ding Hui stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Fang Yu.

"The Capital, it’s a place of hidden talents and experts, with greater talents in medical skills than mine and mightier experts than you. Talents and masters from all over gather there, naturally including those interested in you. Given your uniqueness, if you don’t carefully hide your dual identity as a Believer and a Demon Martial Artist, there’s a high chance you’ll be captured and imprisoned upon arrival in the Capital."

"..."

Fang Yu hadn’t thought of this.

His uniqueness, he always knew of it.

The Believer and the Demon Martial Artist are incompatible, the power of three races in one, possibly unique in the world.

Even Tianyuan Town had research fanatics like Ding Hui; no telling if the Capital lacks similar individuals.

Fortunately, besides exhibiting the power of a Believer in Sunset City, in other places, he operated under the guise of a Demon Martial Artist.

Moreover, with the Capital being so far from the Emperor’s reach, as long as they’re cautious on the way and within the Capital, avoiding exposure of the Believer’s abilities, it should be fine.

"Husband, do you understand now?" Ding Hui seemed to be watching Fang Yu until she detected a change in his expression before speaking.

Fang Yu nodded.

"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."

Ding Hui revealed a toothy grin.

"Of course, I trust you, husband. I was just afraid you’d overlook it, so I reminded you. If you want to prepare, you should start now and leave no flaws."

The Capital.

It’s the safest place in the world today.

The Capital is also the most dangerous place in the world today.

Ding Hui had never been to the Capital, but she’d heard countless tales about it.

And now, she was going to the Capital with Fang Yu.

Thinking of this, Ding Hui felt a bit excited.

Unknown medical skills, unknown materials, unknown technologies, the Capital had so many points of attraction for her as well.

Only in earlier years, due to lack of company, a trip to the Capital was fraught with great risks.

Now with Fang Yu, it was relatively safer, but not foolproof.

Even those at the Wood Realm Peak fell prey in the wilds, which were that treacherous.

Even traveling on official roads wasn’t safe; it was only relatively more secure.

"Husband, you seemed to be yearning for rest? We’ve been busy all day; it’s indeed tiring. You lie down first, and once I’m done, I’ll join you in slumber."

Ding Hui said with a sly smile, giving Fang Yu a feeling of being seen through.

In truth, this was something everyone already knew.

Still, the reference to sharing a bed caused Fang Yu a bit of unease; pretending his heart was unperturbed, he nodded and quickly fell asleep.
