Fatty had some ideas before, and many things would be planned by himself. But since he was with Ye Tiancheng, it seemed like his brain hadn't been used for a long time and had started to degenerate. He was particularly unwilling to think about problems himself. He just listened to what Ye Tiancheng said. This was also more effort-saving.
"I understand, Brother Ye. I get what you mean. Let's do as you say."
After Fatty finished speaking, he had no more time to chat because he had to continue fighting monsters. For him, being a flawless warrior was the most important thing. As for other matters, he would leave them to Ye Tiancheng to solve. Anyway, it wasn't that difficult to handle.
"Alright, that's settled then."
After Ye Tiancheng finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator. To make the car's speed as fast as possible, Ye Tiancheng didn't care about anything else. The most important thing was to get out of this ghost forest quickly.
In a place like this, even if one could survive, they would inevitably get injured.
Without the protection of true qi, Ye Tiancheng's arms were covered in bruises. He didn't even know how they got hurt, and now he found it strange. The bruises looked so shocking.
Fortunately, after more than ten minutes, they finally rushed out of the death forest. Since leaving the forest, the black mist had been gradually decreasing, and only a few monsters were still chasing them.
After killing the last stink bug monster, he held his nose and waited for the terrible smell to dissipate. He thought that difficulties wouldn't last forever. Once overcome, they wouldn't continue. Fatty could finally rest for a while.
Now he couldn't care about being elegant or not. As long as he could rest for a while, he would be fine. The feeling of exhaustion made him feel a bit weak. It wasn't the time to care about appearances.
Fatty casually pulled a piece of cloth from the side. Normally, he might not even care about wiping his shoes with it, but now he was preparing to wipe the sweat from his head.
"Brother Ye, you must be very tired too. Wipe your sweat."
It was only then that Fatty paid attention to Ye Tiancheng. He found that Ye Tiancheng's condition was a bit off. His face had a strange bluish-purple hue, and his body was covered in various injuries. His eyes were particularly bruised, making him look like he had been severely beaten.
"What's wrong? Brother Ye, who beat you up?"
"It's nothing. My body has been getting weaker lately, and I just can't hold on. Once I gather my true qi later, these external injuries will disappear."
Fatty had heard from Lin Xue before that when a cultivator's true qi began to dissipate, their body would react. If the reaction was so strong, it meant that the loss of true qi was severe.
"Alright, Brother Ye, we've already rushed out of this forest, and there are no more monsters. Stop the car for a moment, and I'll drive. You're not much better than Ouyang Xunuo. I'll transfer some true qi to you later, and you can get some good sleep."
Ye Tiancheng didn't want Fatty to worry, but it wasn't the time to show off. He really couldn't support himself anymore. He had just felt like he couldn't see clearly, and his body was shaking violently. If he continued to force himself like this, the consequences could be unimaginable, and he might even cause a car accident.
"Okay, I'll stop the car right away. You can take over driving."
After the car stopped, Fatty, without Ye Tiancheng noticing, forcefully injected the true qi stored in the shovel into him, which startled Ye Tiancheng.
"I'm not refusing, why are you doing it secretly? Fatty, you're like a big brother to me. I'm not stupid. I know my physical condition. If I don't accept this true qi, I'm afraid I won't be able to last long and will soon drag you down. At critical moments, rationality must prevail, and you can't be reckless."
After absorbing the true qi, Ye Tiancheng felt a warmth spread throughout his body. Under Fatty's gaze, many of his scars, both old and new, and the terrifying bluish-purple marks, had already recovered by more than half.
Ye Tiancheng checked himself and then quickly made an optimistic conclusion. "The remaining scars will completely disappear after I get some sleep. Don't worry, everything will be over. I'm going to sleep now. I'm so sleepy I can't stand it."
Ye Tiancheng was truly sleepy. After speaking, he couldn't help but yawn repeatedly, feeling like he was about to be overcome by sleep. He fell asleep immediately after speaking.
As Ye Tiancheng instructed, Fatty transferred the true qi from the shovel to Ouyang Xunuo. Of course, Fatty had his own selfish motives and didn't want to give that guy too much, so he only gave him a small portion and absorbed the rest himself.
"Ouyang Xunuo, it's already very kind of me to save your life. Don't expect me to do more for you. No matter what happens, I'm not sure if you can hear me. We are enemies, and we will never be at peace. As long as I have the chance, I will kill you immediately and eliminate a scourge for the people."
Ouyang Xunuo heard him because he had been faking unconsciousness from the beginning. After receiving the true qi, he felt that his condition had improved significantly, and he was fine. He just didn't dare to answer Fatty's words. Those provocative words would not do Ouyang Xunuo any good in his current situation.
In fact, Ouyang Xunuo had a small plan: to pretend to be weak to escape from here. Every second he spent here was an unbearable torment.
Some hateful crows actually wanted to eat his flesh. After all, Ouyang Xunuo cultivated black qi, which was formed by the resentment of people. It even emitted a rotten smell similar to that of a corpse.
This was why those crows thought Ouyang Xunuo was a corpse. At that time, Ouyang Xunuo used black qi to fight against those crows, but he was too weak, and those crows could not be completely driven away.
Some would keep pecking at him with their beaks, while others would defecate on him from the side. The scene was quite spectacular.
Besides crows, there were also some terrifying insects. These transparent insects, with foul water hidden in their bellies, were eager to surround Ouyang Xunuo, from top to bottom, inside and out, wanting to crawl into his ears and mouth. It was truly horrifying.
Fortunately, all of that was over. Even sitting in the bumpy car, Ouyang Xunuo felt happy. Although he wasn't free yet, he could already smell the sunlight. Ouyang Xunuo believed that with his intelligence and schemes, he would surely achieve complete freedom soon.
Thus, Ouyang Xunuo was sent to the hospital. Ye Tiancheng was also sent to the hospital. Ye Tiancheng said that the VIP ward beds in the hospital were incredibly comfortable, so he wanted to book the entire ward and rest there instead of staying in a five-star hotel.
Ye Tiancheng had already fallen into a deep sleep. Fatty went to check on Liu Lanying and found her chatting with a nurse.
"Sister, which of those two men is your boyfriend? Let me guess, is it the handsome one?"
When the nurse said handsome, it definitely wasn't Fatty. It must have been Ye Tiancheng, who was somewhat presentable. Ye Tiancheng might be considered unfashionable by some older women, but he still had some appeal to young girls. He was quite adept at charming young girls, at least being the dream lover of young girls.
"Are you talking about Ye Tiancheng? Is he handsome? Well, he's just somewhat pleasant to look at. To each their own. I actually quite like his appearance. He looks easygoing and not aggressive at all. A kind face is sometimes a powerful advantage."
As soon as Liu Lanying mentioned Ye Tiancheng, she became talkative. After all, he was the man she liked in her heart, and everything could be related to him.
Fatty happened to hear Liu Lanying speaking. Seeing that she had recovered and was chatting gossip with the nurse, he felt somewhat relieved.
"Liu Lanying, it seems you've recovered quite a bit. When Ye Ge and I left, you were still in the intensive care unit, and the doctor said your condition was critical. I didn't expect you to recover so well and be able to chat and laugh."
The nurse beside them couldn't help but exclaim, "Yes, it's a medical miracle. The doctors haven't even finalized their treatment plan, and you're already healthy."
The young nurse glanced at Fatty and the fruit he was carrying, then gave Liu Lanying a meaningful look.
"Amazing, your boyfriend is so caring and attentive to you. He brought you fruit so quickly. It seems I guessed wrong."
It turned out the nurse had misunderstood. Liu Lanying quickly explained with a blush, "You little girl, you guessed wrong. This fatty brother isn't my boyfriend, and neither is that Ye Tiancheng. I'm still single. Don't talk nonsense. There are so many handsome doctors in this hospital, and many of them are single. If people misunderstand that I have a boyfriend, wouldn't that make me miss out on my destined love?"
As soon as she said this, everyone burst into laughter. The ward suddenly filled with hearty laughter, which also helped to lighten the mood.
Fatty quickly took out the fruit and washed it. The crystal-clear grapes cost over forty yuan per jin. They were said to be freshly transported from Xinjiang, called Turpan big grapes. The oranges were also incredibly sweet. These were all things Ye Tiancheng had instructed Fatty to buy. When buying, he should buy the best quality fruit, as health was the most important thing. Patients' bodies needed nutrition, and Liu Lanying was someone important to Ye Tiancheng. Spending money on her, let alone a few hundred yuan, even tens of thousands, Ye Tiancheng wouldn't bat an eye.
"These oranges are so sweet. Fatty Ge, is it because I haven't spent enough money before? I feel like I haven't eaten such sweet oranges in a long time."
"Yes, we bought the most expensive ones. These were all instructed by Brother Ye. I don't save money for him. Anyway, he pays for everything. I'm just a subordinate, helping him do things. If you have anything to say, just tell him. I can convey it for you."
Liu Lanying found Fatty very cute. No matter when, he always stood by Ye Tiancheng's side. No matter which woman it was, as long as she could be related to Ye Tiancheng, Fatty would try his best to match them.
"Alright, don't team up with your brother. These grapes are also delicious. I haven't eaten such sweet grapes in a long time. They are truly refreshing and delicious."
After eating the high-quality fruit, Liu Lanying felt that her mood had improved a lot. It seemed that money was useful sometimes. The things bought could indeed make one's mood brighter. This was the simplest thing.
"It's good that you're feeling better."
Fatty looked at Liu Lanying with a complex expression because he knew that the blood contract had not been broken. Even though Ouyang Xunuo was now under control, everything was uncertain. Who knew what Ouyang Xunuo would do next.
