Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1972: Chapter 1972: If You Don’t Like It, Don’t Eat It

”This guy’s skin is thicker than mine...”

Ye Haochuan glanced at Xu Wenrui, who thought he was being very elegant and stylish, then he looked at the crowd gathering around, pointing and chatting about them, and promptly pulled Long Keyue to run in the opposite direction.

Xu Wenrui was passionately reciting some parody he didn’t know if he learned from somewhere or simply concocted himself, something ambiguously poetic, ambiguously musical. But suddenly he saw Ye Haochuan pull Long Keyue away.

”Hey, Immortal, don’t run, you haven’t accepted my Starry Grass yet! Could it be that you don’t like Starry Grass?”

Immediately, he stopped his actions and noisily chased after Ye Haochuan and Long Keyue, and the surrounding people, finding it uninteresting, dispersed.

Only a few nosy ones used their movement techniques to follow Xu Wenrui, but Xu Wenrui paid no mind to these people, letting them trail behind.

Ye Haochuan pulled Long Keyue, weaving through the crowd, sometimes darting into shops only to exit through the back or side doors.

Under Ye Haochuan’s Heavenly Eye, he was crystal clear on which paths were accessible and which were not. Even the direction where Xu Wenrui was following them was under Ye Haochuan’s watchful eye.

”Keyue, this way.”

Ye Haochuan pulled Long Keyue, slipping into a shop by the roadside. Inside that shop were three small doors, one leading directly to another street.

On that other street was a shop with a back door, beyond which lay a man-made stream.

There was a bridge over the river, conveniently located just over a hundred meters from the shop’s back door, and Ye Haochuan clearly observed it all.

Thus, Ye Haochuan led Long Keyue through the first shop, then the second, the third, and then they dashed onto the bridge, crossing it to reach the other side of the river.

But they weren’t done yet. Ye Haochuan pulled Long Keyue again, making a beeline to a small alley he had scoped earlier, and after walking through it for a bit, they arrived at another street selling Magical Treasures.

”Hehe, let’s see how you chase us now!”

Ye Haochuan turned back, laughing mischievously at Xu Wenrui still on the other side of the river, a flicker of relief in his eyes. Xu Wenrui truly had been too persistent in haunting them.

”Huff... Huff... Haochuan... Have we lost him?”

Long Keyue took several deep breaths, as they had run too fast before and, combined with the powerful Rule Power of the Immortal Realm, even she was slightly out of breath despite her cultivation.

”Yes, we’ve lost him. That guy is still on the other side of the river searching for us.”

Ye Haochuan turned back again, using Heavenly Eye to check, and saw Xu Wenrui still on the river’s far side, searching for their figures, and then turned back to answer.

”That’s... that’s great! That guy is just too annoying.”

Long Keyue was finally able to calm her rapidly rising and falling chest due to her heavy breathing, speaking with great relief.

”Haha, this just proves that my wife Keyue is too stunning.”

Ye Hao was both proud and troubled, pulling a helpless face and speaking with great annoyance, ”Alas, Keyue, if you and I became a couple, that guy wouldn’t pester us anymore...”

”Keep dreaming...”

Long Keyue’s face instantly flushed at Ye Haochuan’s words, leaning toward Ye Haochuan’s ear and whispering softly.

”Sigh...”

Ye Haochuan scratched his head in distress after hearing Long Keyue’s words, reluctantly sighing.

”Hehe...”

Long Keyue couldn’t help but chuckle seeing Ye Haochuan’s expression, ”Alright, let’s get going quickly, or else that annoying guy will find us again, and it’ll be troublesome...”

”That guy, hehe, he’s still...”

Ye Haochuan chuckled sneakily and looked back towards where Xu Wenrui had been before, only to find that Xu Wenrui had vanished, and those following behind him for entertainment had now scattered.

Ye Haochuan’s expression changed suddenly, scanning around their surroundings anxiously, yet Xu Wenrui seemed to have disappeared as if by magic, leaving no trace.

”Damn, that guy’s vanished...”

Ye Haochuan meticulously examined the area several times but still couldn’t detect any sign of Xu Wenrui.

”Forget it; let’s not worry about him. We haven’t even bought what we need yet.”

Ye Haochuan withdrew his gaze, leading Long Keyue off the street of Magical Treasures, as he didn’t need any, and they were quite pricy.

He had more than two hundred thousand red crystals on him, which should suffice for a while as long as they didn’t buy anything excessively beyond budget.

After leaving the Magical Treasures street, Ye Haochuan activated Heavenly Eye again to seek a pastry shop, bought some pastries suitable for Nascent Soul Stage consumption, and then bought snacks at a nearby shop.

”These Immortal Realm snacks aren’t as tasty as those from the Lower Realm...”

Long Keyue kept complaining as she devoured the snacks she hadn’t tasted in a long time, a smudge of golden oil conspicuously standing out on her fair little face.

”Haha, if they’re not tasty, then don’t eat them.”

Ye Haochuan looked at Long Keyue’s adorable appearance, handing the unknown-meat skewer to her mouth, which she unhesitatingly took a big bite of.

”Ah, Immortal, so you’re here!”

Xu Wenrui suddenly appeared, charging out from a shop doorway, clutching a large fish tank, inside which swam several colorful little fish.

”Immortal, I’ve meticulously chosen Golden Eyes Colorful Cloud Fish for you, if you’re not fond of flowers, these little creatures, you’ll surely adore.”

Xu Wenrui placed the fish tank before Long Keyue while passionately expressing, once more, his deep admiration and affection for her.

Seeing Xu Wenrui reemerge so abruptly, Ye Haochuan and Long Keyue were speechless, wondering how they managed to encounter such a character.

They couldn’t defeat him physically, and even running only meant he would show up again soon, showering Long Keyue with various offerings.

”This meat skewer is awful!”

Frustrated beyond words, Long Keyue tossed the meat skewer with a light flick into the fish tank, startling the fish to dash away.
