The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief

Chapter 978: Chapter 978: I Have X-ray Vision, You Know!

Liu Zixuan considered Ye Lianyi’s proposal as undoubtedly the best way to enhance his strength at this moment.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Zixuan said, "Okay, I’ll call Gu Yu right away."

With that, Liu Zixuan took out his phone and dialed Gu Yu: "Great Immortal, how’s the investigation I asked you to do earlier coming along?"

"There are some clues about Venerable Ghost Nether and Qian Lin Bai Hua, but they aren’t very useful. As for the person secretly helping you, there’s no way to trace them. I’ve had Cheng Feng check all the surveillance cameras at the crossings there, but found nothing. It seems the other party intentionally doesn’t want you to find out."

"You can put Qian Lin Bai Hua aside for now, just leave a few people to look into Venerable Ghost Nether. Have Celestial Secret Pavilion’s Elder Qiu, and the Six Gates of Madman Zhou focus on investigating the Dragon Veins of Star Sea."

"Dragon Veins?" Gu Yu was surprised to hear this: "Why the sudden interest?"

"I’ll explain it to you later, just help with the investigation," Liu Zixuan chuckled.

"I do know one," Gu Yu thought for a moment and added, "You should know about this Dragon Vein too, right?"

"You’re not referring to the one in Yudu, are you?" Liu Zixuan asked.

"Yes, that Dragon Vein is currently recognized as the largest in Star Sea."

Liu Zixuan gave a wry smile: "But that’s the foundation of Star Sea; it can’t be touched. You should investigate the other Ancestral Dragon Veins, the ones that have shifted and become obsolete."

"That won’t be too difficult. I can give you an answer by noon tomorrow," said Gu Yu before hanging up.

Liu Zixuan put down his phone: "Xiaoxiao has healed from the hidden ailment of her unique physique. You should assist her in the next few days. With her unique physique, it will be easy for her to break through realms."

"Alright," Ye Lianyi nodded slightly.

"Zhao Yi, because he practiced the sword technique, has already birthed the Sword Spirit within the Celestial Spirit Saber, and he has a vague concept of comprehending the Power of Gold among the Five Elements. With a little guidance, reaching the First Heaven of Innate Emperor Realm should be easy."

Liu Zixuan paused for a moment: "As for Jiang Yunxuan and Huzi, I’m not worried about Yunxuan. Ever since he fused with that black dragon-shaped jade pendant, breaking through bottlenecks has been easier for him than for others, and another critical moment is coming; the Jiang Family will not stand by and do nothing. However, Huzi’s situation is more challenging..."

"You’re right. Even if we obtain the Power of the Dragon Veins, many issues may arise, such as whether this power can be subdued. This kind of extraordinary power doesn’t necessarily suit everyone."

"Moreover, even if they fuse, it’s just a change in Inner Strength. In true confrontations, you can’t rely solely on Inner Strength. In these life-and-death duels, there can’t be the slightest negligence!"

Ye Lianyi frowned and said.

Liu Zixuan sighed: "I’ve been protecting them too much."

"Zhao Yi reached his current realm primarily through his efforts and the tempering of life-and-death experiences. After my initial help, he has been training on his own, unlike Yunxuan and Huzi, who rely too much on those around them."

"You can’t be blamed for that."

Ye Lianyi chuckled, sitting beside Liu Zixuan and gently holding his hand: "Others might not understand you, but don’t I? Judging from the Martial Arts Tournament, your strengths and weaknesses aside, you have a particularly fatal flaw; you’re too protective!"

"No matter the situation, you always think of protecting the people around you first and then face everything yourself. But you must realize, sometimes protecting is both good and bad!"

Liu Zixuan gently embraced Ye Lianyi: "Yes, I thought I could easily solve everything. Before meeting you, I still thought that, but since encountering those from the Hidden Sects, I’ve realized I’m not invincible. In reality, I’m still just a mere speck among all living things."

"Don’t you dare say self-deprecating things like that!" Ye Lianyi firmly placed a finger on Liu Zixuan’s lips, speaking softly: "It’s not that you’re not strong; it’s just that what we’re encountering is getting more and more formidable, that’s how this world is."

"Whenever we summit a peak, we realize there’s always something higher than this peak. It’s because we’re unwilling to just stop here that we keep progressing. You, Liu Zixuan, have always been a hero in the hearts of me and Ruyan, unparalleled by others."

"Alright, stop trying to comfort me."

Liu Zixuan waved his hand: "I understand what you’re saying. I never considered myself an all-powerful god, but the current situation is dire. It’s time to let go; otherwise, cherishing the wings overmuch will prevent us from withstanding the piercing cold when it’s time to soar."

"What are you planning to do?" Ye Lianyi looked up and asked.

"With this hard-earned time, let them be tempered by some life-and-death situations!" Liu Zixuan’s mouth twitched twice, then he added a sentence: "But since we can’t afford to make mistakes at this time, you’ll still need to secretly protect them with me."

"I knew you’d add that line. At the heart of it, you still can’t let go." Ye Lianyi’s nose crinkled a few times, then she slowly wrapped her arms around Liu Zixuan’s neck: "Seeing you treat everyone so well, I’m a bit jealous!"

"You little vixen, tonight I’ll have a good taste of just how sour you are!"

Liu Zixuan playfully smiled and directly lifted Ye Lianyi onto the bed, imprinting a firm kiss on the cherry-red lips without hesitation.

Ye Lianyi seemed to let go of everything, ready to fully embrace this man she had loved and longed for so long!

Just like a reunion after a wedding, the spark ignited quickly, and amidst the soaring clothes and mutual caresses, a romantic atmosphere filled the room.

Amid the rising and falling passion, neither seemed willing to leave the other’s embrace, holding tightly together.

A satisfied blush spread across Ye Lianyi’s delicate face as she murmured, "I want to ask you a question."

"What is it?" Liu Zixuan asked, holding Ye Lianyi’s jade hand with a smile.

"Haven’t you always wanted to see my true appearance? What if I show you and it’s really, really ugly?"

Ye Lianyi moved forward a bit, asking seriously: "Would you still like me then?"

"That’s not valid; you’re using the Youthful Appearance Technique, not a Disguise Technique, so your appearance wouldn’t be much different from now."

Listening to Liu Zixuan’s words, Ye Lianyi pouted and shook her head: "Let me tell you, besides the Youthful Appearance Technique, I also use Disguise Technique, and one that you can’t even detect!"

"Impossible," Liu Zixuan thought to himself, "But, I have X-ray Vision!"
