Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1023: Chapter 1022: You’ve Come At The Worst Possible Time! (3rd Update)

The Blood Refinement Bead might be rare, but it’s not precious enough to justify Lone Star Alliance resorting to underhanded measures to snatch it. What Lone Star Alliance truly cares about is their pride.

For one of the three great alliances, having a treasure stolen by a low-level cultivator without being able to catch the thief would be utterly humiliating.

Zou Yuzhu wanted to gauge the strength of Long Alliance first, which ironically gave Ye Haochuan a few days of safety.

When he handed the Blood Refinement Bead over to Langfan, the latter nearly fainted with excitement.

After all, even in a great sect like Lone Star Alliance, only the most core members have the qualification to use the Blood Refinement Bead. Long Alliance, which was just starting up, unexpectedly obtained something this valuable.

”Oh, right, we found a house. It can temporarily serve as the base for Long Alliance,” Langfan suddenly recalled and said.

Currently, Liu Sheng was focused on breaking through the Foundation Establishment bottleneck, and Guan Ling wasn’t familiar with the personnel. Thus, the affairs of Long Alliance were temporarily managed by Langfan.

”Great, we’ve already received plenty of complaints from that guy about disturbing his peace. Since you’ve found a place, make the move as soon as possible!”

”So, judging by your tone, you don’t plan to move there yourself?” Zhu Qingshuang asked with sudden interest.

”Me? I still have a task to complete, so I’ll need to stay for a few more days.”

”Hmph, clearly, you can’t bear to leave your women, yet you make it sound so noble!” Zhu Qingshuang suddenly snorted coquettishly.

Geez, jealous again? Who would’ve thought this fierce dragon lady had such a sensitive little heart hidden beneath?

Ye Haochuan almost didn’t recognize Zhu Qingshuang anymore. This was the same woman who had threatened countless times to cut off his little buddy. Jealousy shouldn’t even be in her playbook!

But then again, the more jealous she is, doesn’t that mean she likes yours truly more?

Realizing this, Ye Haochuan’s heart sweetened, and he chuckled. ”That’s right. Every one of my women is a treasure to me, just like you. Don’t worry, I won’t play favorites. Tonight, I’m all yours!”

Zhu Qingshuang’s face instantly flushed as she spat back, ”Bastard! Who’s your woman?”

This scoundrel, talking nonsense in front of everyone—does he even feel shame?

Though Zhu Qingshuang’s voice carried anger, her face showed a bashful expression that anyone could see through.

Langfan, watching from the side, nearly popped his eyes out. Zhu Qingshuang had been living at the mining site for so long, and everyone knew she was like a goddess—admired from afar but untouchable. No man was ever allowed within three meters of her.

”Brother, you’re incredible!”

Langfan discreetly gave Ye Haochuan a thumbs-up, only to be overheard by Zhu Qingshuang.

Zhu Qingshuang’s face darkened as she scolded angrily, ”What nonsense are you spouting? Do you want me to make sure you’ll never be ’incredible’ again in your life?”

Langfan trembled, his legs nearly buckling. He hastily replied, ”I didn’t say anything! Nothing at all! Oh, I just remembered my future mother-in-law needs me. You two carry on...”

Before he even finished, he had already run far away.

”Look at you, you nearly scared him into wetting his pants,” Ye Haochuan teased with a laugh.

”Serves him right for being such a coward!” Zhu Qingshuang huffed softly. ”And you—if you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll... mmph—”

Before she could finish her sentence, her lips were seized in an overbearing kiss.

”Holy crap, this... this is too much, right?” Zhu Kan was left completely dumbfounded on the side.

”It’s not too much—it’s brutal for us sad, single people!” Nong Quan muttered sourly.

”No! My goddess—my goddess! How can the alliance leader do this?” someone wailed in anguish.

”...”

Zhu Tian awkwardly coughed before addressing the crowd, ”What are you all staring at? It’s about to rain; go home and bring in the laundry!”

Under Zhu Tian’s Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage pressure, everyone grudgingly dispersed.

Zhu Qingshuang felt as though her lips had been struck by lightning, a numb sensation shooting straight to her heart, blanking her mind.

Is this... what a kiss feels like? No wonder so many people are obsessed with it. This feeling—so unforgettable...

This wasn’t Zhu Qingshuang’s first kiss; her first had long been stolen by Ye Haochuan when she was grievously injured and unconscious. But this was the first time she had experienced how wonderful it could feel.

Ye Haochuan, naturally, sensed Zhu Qingshuang’s unusual response, and his heart leapt with joy.

Heh, thought you were tough, didn’t you? You’re no match for me, after all!

”Looks like I came at the wrong time!” A sudden, untimely voice broke in from the doorway as the two kissed passionately.

”Ah?” Zhu Qingshuang snapped out of it, her face instantly turning as red as an overripe apple.

”You scoundrel! I won’t let this go!” Zhu Qingshuang shrieked in embarrassment and anger before fleeing the scene.

Ye Haochuan sighed in regret before turning around. ”You really have bad timing!”

”Sorry, I was in a bit of a rush and barely squeezed out some free time, so...”

”It’s fine. If I have to be interrupted, having it done by a beauty isn’t so bad,” Ye Haochuan joked with a sly grin.

”Hah, you can’t go three seconds without getting cheeky. Where’s my necklace?”

The intruder was none other than Long Keyue. After catching Ye Haochuan in the act earlier, her expression still carried embarrassment, but it quickly shifted to disdain at his cheeky remark.

”Is this the one?” Ye Haochuan didn’t keep her in suspense and pulled out the necklace.

”Yes, that’s the one!” Long Keyue said excitedly. In the next instant, the necklace had already appeared in her hand.

Damn, Core Formation experts are really something!

Ye Haochuan’s heart skipped a beat. Just now, he hadn’t even noticed how Long Keyue had snatched the necklace.

”Thank you!”

Thank me? Wait, is she planning to skip out on her promise?

Fearing this, Ye Haochuan quickly grinned and said, ”Thank me for what? I didn’t do it for free, you know...”

”Oh, right. Give me back my Golden Bell Shield!” Long Keyue suddenly said.

What the—this isn’t what I meant!

Ye Haochuan felt bitter inside but hurriedly plastered on a flattering smile. ”Look, my lady, with your level of cultivation, the Golden Bell Shield isn’t much use to you. But in my hands, it won’t go to waste, right?”

”I knew you wouldn’t hand it over so easily!”

Long Keyue laughed lightly before lifting her right hand. In an instant, Ye Haochuan felt something fly out of his storage ring. He tried to grab it but couldn’t.

An ancient martial Brahma Bell appeared in Long Keyue’s hand—it was indeed the Golden Bell Shield!

”Come on, isn’t it a bit much to take everything back after asking for my help?” Ye Haochuan grumbled, thoroughly vexed.

Long Keyue chuckled. ”My promise was to do you a favor, not to give you the Golden Bell Shield!”

Fine, whatever you say. What choice do I have? You’d crush me in a fight anyway!

Ye Haochuan pouted, but on second thought, having a Core Formation expert owe him a favor was just as valuable as the Golden Bell Shield.

”I...” Long Keyue began to say something, but a voice interrupted from outside.

”Little Yueyue, why didn’t you wait for me?”
