Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 698: Chapter 697: Pacification

”You’ve finally returned. I thought you might have...”

When Ye Haochuan returned to the mine, Huo Mengyao quickly burrowed into his embrace, her face filled with concern.

”What? You don’t trust your husband that much?” Ye Haochuan chuckled.

Huo Mengyao was tall and elegant, and her stunning face rested against Ye Haochuan’s cheek. The faint fragrance emanating from her momentarily filled Ye Haochuan with restless desires, and his hands began to roam over her slim back.

”Stop it!” Huo Mengyao’s face flushed with shyness, yet she couldn’t bring herself to leave Ye Haochuan’s arms.

Though Ye Haochuan’s words were frivolous, his heart was more concerned about Huo Mengyao’s injuries, and he immediately began to examine her using Longevity Gang Qi.

Huo Mengyao’s injuries weren’t too severe. After taking the healing pills Ye Haochuan administered, she quickly regained consciousness. A few hours of recovery had almost completely healed her.

”Aren’t they people from Hellfire? Why did you come back with them?” Fan Qingyin immediately recognized that Chiyo was one of the people who had arrived with Inoshita Shōgetsu, and she exclaimed with indignation.

”What? People from Hellfire dare to come here? I’m going to kill her!” Xu Wei, upon hearing about Hellfire, immediately said, angrily.

Having just fought with the Disciples of Hellfire, they had suffered heavy losses, including two individuals who had reached the Innate Early Stage by consuming Innate Pills. Many close to Xu Wei had died under the attacks from the Disciples of Hellfire. How could he not hate them?

”No, that’s not it. Let me explain!” Chiyo, frightened, quickly hid beside Ye Haochuan.

”What’s there to explain? I see that you brought those people from Hellfire here. I’m going to kill you to avenge my brothers!” Xu Wei was furious and about to kill Chiyo on the spot.

Seeing this, Ye Haochuan quickly intervened, grinning mischievously, ”It’s not her fault, besides, I’ve already punished her too!”

Remembering the ”punishment” from earlier, Chiyo’s face turned red, and she quickly bowed her head.

”Punishment? Is punishment enough? She caused the death of so many of my brothers. I want her life as compensation!” Xu Wei persisted relentlessly.

”Yes, she must pay with her life!” Many of those who stayed behind in the mine also sided with Xu Wei, echoing his sentiment.

Damn it, is this a mutiny?

Ye Haochuan had clearly not anticipated that bringing Chiyo back would spark such a huge incident. As he was about to explain, he suddenly heard Huo Mengyao’s voice.

”Enough, everyone stop arguing!” Huo Mengyao glancing oddly at Chiyo, continued, ”Actually, even if she hadn’t brought those people here, someone else would have. This place used to be a base for Hellfire; why wouldn’t they come to investigate after we took over without any reason? Weren’t we left here to guard against exactly this kind of situation?”

”But...” Xu Wei was suddenly at a loss for words.

”But, we didn’t anticipate that Hellfire would send five Innate Experts all at once, right? Honestly, none of us expected that. That was my mistake, and I should take responsibility,” Huo Mengyao said, her face full of self-reproach.

”Actually, it’s not your fault. Who could have guessed that Hellfire would care so much about this mine in the Sub-Fire Dimension Realm?” Xu Wei finally calmed down a bit.

Seeing Huo Mengyao defuse the crowd’s anger in just a few words, Ye Haochuan silently admired her. Such a woman was naturally leadership material.

Ye Haochuan was used to being a hands-off leader, and having such a woman manage things was truly a relief and saved him a lot of effort!

”In the end, our strength is just too weak. If we had the vast team strength of Galaxy Battle Team or Sun Moon Alliance, would a few disciples of Hellfire dare to cause a disturbance?” Fan Qingyin suddenly interjected.

”This place will be the Long Alliance’s base in the future. It won’t do if it’s not secure!” Langfan also sighed.

”But now, there are only so few in the Innate Realm of the Long Alliance, and it’s not possible for all to stay here without leaving. In that case, wouldn’t we all become caged birds?” Fan Qingyin sighed.

”Indeed, that’s a problem!” Ye Haochuan also fell into thought upon hearing this. If they really all stayed here, how could the Long Alliance develop in the future.

Huh? How did I forget about them?

Ye Haochuan suddenly brightened, smiling slightly, ”I have a way to immediately increase the mine’s guard with over a dozen Innate Experts who will stay here continuously!”

”What? Suddenly increase by over a dozen Innate Experts? Impossible!” Everyone was incredulous.

Ye Haochuan chuckled and simply explained the situation of the Fire Tree Human Clan to everyone. The Fire Tree Human Clan was not lacking in Innate Experts, among them even being an Eldest Elder of the Innate Mid-Stage. If the Fire Tree Human Clan were to relocate to the mine, the mine would instantly become as secure as a fortress.

”But, will the Fire Tree Human Clan agree to relocate here?” Huo Mengyao worriedly asked.

”With my silver tongue at work, it will be easy peasy,” Ye Haochuan chuckled.

Everyone was half-convinced, and Ye Haochuan didn’t bother explaining. He summoned his Frost Flying Sword and took to Sword Flight to discuss matters with the Fire Tree Human Clan.

After traveling several miles via Sword Flight, Ye Haochuan suddenly disappeared, having used the Gate of the World.

The Gate of the World was Ye Haochuan’s biggest trump card in the Sub-Fire Dimension Realm, naturally not to be used in front of others, so he chose to use it only after leaving everyone’s sight.

The business about the Heart of the World was not to be shared with others, and the Gate of the World certainly could not be used casually in front of others either. Moreover, the special ability of the Gate of the World could completely serve as his ace in the hole—the fewer who knew about it, the better.

A moment later, Ye Haochuan had already arrived in the territory of the Fire Tree Human Clan.

The Fire Tree Human Clan had suffered heavy losses in the great battle with the Flame Eagle Beast, with many of their people killed. At that time, the Fire Tree Humans were slowly moving their cumbersome bodies, gathering toward the area where the Eldest Elder was located.

Upon seeing Ye Haochuan arrive, Yige suddenly exclaimed joyfully, ”Benefactor, please save the Eldest Elder quickly, it’s barely hanging on!”

Ye Haochuan looked in the direction of the voice, only to see the Eldest Elder with a wilted face, already at death’s door.

Damn, how did I forget about this?

Ye Haochuan suddenly felt a pang of guilt. The Eldest Elder had been seriously injured protecting him. At that time, he was worried about Huo Mengyao’s situation and didn’t provide proper treatment.

He had initially planned to come back and heal him after settling the mine’s matters. However, he was then drawn into the sea of flames, encountered the Heart of the World, and, one thing leading to another, completely forgot about it.

Ye Haochuan dared not delay any longer and immediately started infusing the Eldest Elder with Longevity Gang Qi.

The Eldest Elder’s life force was rapidly fading, and Ye Haochuan could only use Longevity Gang Qi to replenish it, allowing the Eldest Elder to escape from danger.

After half an hour, Ye Haochuan finally slowly finished. The long duration of infusing Gang Qi had greatly exhausted him.

Thankfully, efforts don’t betray the earnest, and through Ye Haochuan’s rescue, the Eldest Elder’s condition had gradually stabilized. Given the robust vitality of plants, as long as the Eldest Elder rested properly, it would soon be as lively as a dragon.

”Benefactor, you have saved my life over and again, and preserved my Fire Tree Human Clan from extinction. For such a great kindness, I really do not know how I could ever repay you!” the rejuvenated Eldest Elder said with a face full of gratitude.

Don’t know how to thank me? I just happen to have a way for you to thank me, hehe!

Ye Haochuan secretly gloated in his heart.
