Elder brother's garrison

Having already prepared herself, Nanxing felt the cold touch on her stomach. Her body trembled slightly, but she quickly relaxed.

Xiao Bai first wrote a simple "正" (positive mark) on Nanxing's belly.

As Xiaobai's brush fell and then lifted, the ink on the character "正" began to emit a faint golden light, which then gradually faded away.

Xiao Bai used the Admiral Network to sense the direction of the deep-sea energy within Nanxing's body.

As soon as his rune landed, the deep-sea aura that had been surrounding the rune fled like a frightened herd of beasts, quickly heading away from the rune.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Xiao Bai quickly wrote another rune at the spot where the deep-sea aura had fled.

The fleeing deep-sea aura, its path blocked, quickly changed direction.

Xiao Bai then tapped his hand a few more times, writing runes in the directions in which the deep-sea aura had fled.

In an instant, the deep-sea energy residing within Nanxing's body was like a trapped beast, firmly imprisoned in a space by several golden runes.

"Sigh, there aren't that many deep-sea auras, so it's much easier to drive them away." Xiaobai muttered to herself. After saying this, she picked up her brush again and wrote on the center of Nanxing's belly.

As the last rune fell, Xiaobai could clearly feel that the deep-sea auras entrenched in Nanxing's body had nowhere to escape. Finally, they were scorched by the immense spiritual power and began to slowly melt and dissipate.

Treatment completed.

Next, all I have to do is wait for my mental energy runes to slowly melt away the deep-sea energy inside Sister Nanxing's stomach.

It's really simple.

Xiao Bai was initially worried that the deep-sea energy in Nan Xing's body would escape uncontrollably. If it ran to the limbs, he would have to write several mental energy runes on Nan Xing's limbs to prevent the deep-sea energy from spreading. However, he did not expect that the deep-sea energy was so weak that it could even run off course and was perfectly trapped in Nan Xing's stomach by Xiao Bai.

It seems I've gotten a lot stronger over the years.

Xiao Bai tapped the brush handle gently with his finger, looking at the runes on Nan Xing's stomach, and nodded with some satisfaction.

Maybe I really could become a doctor.

Chapter 2903 The Real Relationship

"Sister Nanxing, you're healed."

Xiao Bai placed the calligraphy brush in the water glass and smiled as she spoke to Nan Xing on the bed.

The total treatment time, excluding preparation, was less than three minutes.

When Xiaobai saw Nanxing again, she saw Nanxing lying on the pillow, staring blankly at the ceiling. Her face was as hot as a boiling kettle, and her breathing was rapid.

"Huh? Sister Nanxing, what's wrong?" Xiaobai asked quickly.

"My stomach...it was cold at first, then it got really hot," Nanxing said haltingly.

"Does...do it hurt?"

"...It doesn't hurt." Nanxing closed her eyes and twisted her body strangely.

Nanxing didn't seem to be in any discomfort, but her brows furrowed and relaxed intermittently, and her gaze drifted and cleared in turn, depending on the tension in her brows.

"It's good that it doesn't hurt, it's good that it doesn't hurt." Xiaobai blinked and looked at Nanxing with a smile. "Sister Nanxing, the reason you feel uncomfortable in your stomach is because the deep-sea energy in your body is being slowly decomposed and dissolved. This is the heat that is inevitably released during the process of transforming harmful energy into harmless energy. Although you may not be used to it at first, you have to get used to this feeling."

"Um……"

Nanxing opened her eyes, weakly reaching out to stroke her belly, before slowly sitting up.

"How long will it last?" Nanxing asked Xiaobai pitifully.

"Hmm... judging from the level of deep-sea energy entering your body, Sister Nanxing, you don't need to recover for too long like Admiral Haoding." Xiaobai said, staring at the runes on Nanxing's stomach. "Probably... three or four days. After that, you can wash these off your body."

"Can this be washed off?"

"Hmm... the ink is specially made, so it might be a little hard to wash off. It's pigment designed to adhere firmly to the body," Xiaobai said to Nanxing. "But if you wash it frequently, it should be mostly gone in about ten days to two weeks."

"..." Nanxing lowered her head, touched her stomach, and remained silent.

In any case, Nanxing is at least healthy now.

Xiao Bai, as if he had just accomplished something major, wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead and turned to look at the old doctor.

I wonder how the old doctor will react after seeing his "surgery".

Under Xiaobai's gaze, the old doctor standing by the bed was staring wide-eyed and mouth agape at Xiaobai and Nanxing. His notebook was open to the latest page, and the pencil was hovering over the page number, but nothing had been written in the notebook.

The old doctor looked utterly bewildered.

"Grandpa? Are you still there?" Xiaobai asked the old doctor.

"..." The old doctor turned his head blankly and looked at Xiaobai.

"Grandpa, did you see what just happened?" Xiaobai asked again.

"..." The old doctor nodded blankly.

"Oh, I see. That puts my mind at ease." Xiaobai nodded with a smile. "Grandpa, if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

"..." The old doctor shook his head blankly.

"What's wrong? Don't you have anything you want to ask?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

“…No.” The old doctor finally spoke, staring blankly at Xiaobai. “I just don’t understand so much, I don’t know where to begin asking…”

It's normal for an older doctor not to understand.

What just happened, while seemingly logical to a novice, was, to the experienced doctor, a bizarre operation that defied description—whether as magical or sci-fi.

What happened to the surgery?

How... how could you just ride on someone and write a few words on them and that's it?

What about the scent of the deep sea?

What about the testing equipment?

What about the prescribed medication?

And why this particular character...?

No, that's not scientific...

And how exactly was it cured?

This completely contradicts the modern medical theories I've been taught for decades...

The old doctor felt his mind, which controlled his reasoning, pounding wildly, and a herd of wild foals galloping through his heart.

"In short..." After composing himself, the old doctor looked at Xiaobai with a very strange expression. "Admiral Lu Lin...you, you should answer one question for me first."

“You said.” Xiao Er (Nine) O covered the scattered and peeled the billion III Bai nodded.

"...Was what you just showed me...the real treatment method?" The old doctor looked extremely conflicted. "...If you...if you didn't want me to know the treatment process, you didn't have to put on this whole show to fool me..."

Hearing the old doctor's words, Xiaobai smiled wryly.

"Grandpa, you misunderstood. What I just described was indeed a treatment procedure."

"But...but this isn't scientific..."

"It's very scientific." Xiaobai raised her water glass, smiled at the old doctor, and asked, "Grandpa, can you guess what this is?"

"……ink?"

"Wrong, it's special ink that's been mixed with the blood of high-level deep-sea creatures and treated to be harmless," Xiaobai said with a smile. "Since you're now working for the Admiral Headquarters, you should also know that in a certain corner of the map, there exists a special family that masters a special language called runic language, right?"

"...Yes, I have heard of it."

“Those runic languages ​​possess very special abilities, but this special ink is essential for writing them,” Xiaobai said, holding up his water glass.

"So it was special ink..." the old doctor said blankly, then subconsciously asked, "And what did you just write on Xiao Nan's stomach...?"

"Xonan?"

"Cough cough cough cough." The old doctor was taken aback, and he quickly coughed awkwardly, "No, nothing... I meant, Admiral Nanxing."

Xiao Bai looked at the old doctor with a puzzled expression.

The old doctor didn't dare to look Xiaobai in the eye.

Xiao Bai turned around and looked at Nan Xing on the bed.

Nanxing, lying on the bed, turned her head away, not daring to meet Xiaobai's gaze.

"..." Xiaobai tilted his head.

"In short... Admiral Lu Lin, what you just wrote down wasn't actually Chinese characters?" the old doctor quickly asked.

“Yes, those aren’t Chinese characters.” Xiaobai nodded. “They’re runic language with special meaning.”

"What does it mean?" the old doctor asked again.

Xiao Bai opened his mouth, ready to explain.

However, before Xiaobai could speak, a faint murmur came from the direction of the bed.

"...It means ownership, and also territory." Nanxing, lying on the bed, clutched her lower abdomen with one hand, her face flushed, and whispered, "It means...this is my territory, these are my things..."

“That’s right, Sister Nanxing also knows some runic language.” Xiaobai smiled and nodded at Nanxing, then looked at the old doctor.

"..." The old doctor looked at Nanxing, who was lying on the bed with her head down and clutching her stomach, and then looked at Xiaobai, pausing for a moment, "So... these few rune characters can drive away the aura of the deep sea?"

“Yes,” Xiaobai nodded, “This positive rune is a natural counter to deep-sea aura.”

"...So, does using this method to remove the aura of the deep sea place high demands on the user?"

“Hmm…the threshold isn’t low.” Xiaobai shook his head. “Although it might sound discouraging, I think I’m probably the only one in the world who can do this.”

Xiao Bai's words were the honest truth from the bottom of his heart.

To dispel the aura of the deep sea like Xiaobai does with runes, one must first possess the mental power to accurately perceive the direction of the aura, and secondly, master the immense mental power to highly activate runes. In short, these two conditions require incredibly powerful mental strength. Although this requirement seems simple, for ordinary humans, reaching this level of mental strength is probably a long way off...

Even if one cannot reach the level of Xiaobai's mental strength, one must at least be tens of thousands of times stronger than an ordinary admiral who has opened an admiral network.

After hearing Xiaobai's words, the old doctor swayed, the light in his eyes vanished instantly, and he collapsed weakly.

Nanxing, lying on the bed, widened her eyes and quickly sat up.

The next second, the old doctor, who was about to fall to the ground, was caught by Xiaobai with quick reflexes.

"Grandpa, don't fall," Xiaobai asked with concern.

"...Sigh...sigh..." The old doctor lowered his head, his eyes filled with loneliness and desolation. "In the end...in the end...it's still impossible to mass-produce this technique...I finally understand, I finally understand why the Admiral's Guild has always prevented me from accessing the details of this surgery..."

The old doctor, who had been full of vigor, instantly became ashen-faced and lifeless as if he had stepped into a coffin after saying those words.

broken.

This is such a huge blow, I feel like I'm going to die.

It's not a good sign that an elderly person, around 90 years old, is showing such emotions.

Xiao Bai was startled by the old doctor in her arms. She quickly activated her command network and channeled her mental energy into the old doctor's body to try to adjust his emotions.

“Grandpa… no one knows what the future holds.” Little White shook his head. “But at least we know that studying runic script is indeed the way to drive away the aura of the deep sea, isn’t it?”

“…Sigh…Yes, yes…” Upon hearing Xiaobai’s words, the old doctor slowly opened his eyes, which he was about to close, and murmured to himself, “There is hope…at least…at least there is hope…”

Xiaobai's comforting skills are terrible, but fortunately, with the help of the Admiral Network, her comforting words always have a 1000% effect.

Therefore, after Xiaobai's words of comfort, the old doctor's despair finally turned around.

The old doctor quickly stood up and apologized to Xiaobai somewhat awkwardly.

"I'm so sorry, Admiral Lu Lin, this old man is too easily discouraged. I need a young man like you to comfort me. I really can't bear to lose face," the old doctor said awkwardly.

"It's alright, Grandpa," Xiaobai said with a smile, shaking her head. "And also, please don't keep calling me 'you' all the time."

The old doctor wiped his sweat sheepishly, slowly stood up, and looked at the water glass in Xiaobai's hand.

"Admiral Lu Lin... I don't know if this cup of ink is suitable."

"Please take it." Xiaobai handed the ink to the old doctor.

The old doctor accepted the gift with tears of gratitude, and then carefully picked up the water glass.

"Admiral Lu Lin, please wait a moment, I... I'll go put this away! I'll be right back!"

The old doctor bowed to Xiaobai while holding a water cup, then ran to the door, opened it, and left in a flash.

Xiaobai smiled as she watched the hotel room door close, then looked at Nanxing with a smile.

"Grandpa is such a lively person," Xiaobai said.

“…Mm.” Nanxing responded with her head down.
