As they passed through Fengcheng County, a crowd gathered at the other end of the street.
A man lay on the ground, groaning. Seeing this, Qiang Yi hurried back and grabbed Luo Ligang, who was buying provisions, urgently saying, "You have to help him!"
"I can't help him," Luo Ligang replied coldly. "I'm a veterinarian, not a doctor for humans."
"Huh?" Qiang Yi was taken aback. "But you were in Dian Town..."
"That was because the epidemic was caused by some rat spirit."
Qiang Yi: "..." No wonder he had run away with her; it turned out he was afraid of being discovered.
Luo Ligang took out a pill and unceremoniously shoved it into the man's mouth. Qiang Yi panicked, "Hey, didn't you say..."
Is he treating this person like an animal? This is outrageous!
Luo Ligang shrugged dismissively. "He won't die from it."
What kind of attitude is that!
After a while, when the man started to recover, Luo Ligang turned to leave with Qiang Yi in tow. However, she hesitated. The lean man clasped his hands together and said, "I am Liu Qingxuan. Thank you for saving me, miss."
"No need to thank me!" Qiang Yi replied cheerfully, relieved that he was okay. "I'm Qiang Yi."
Her starry-eyed expression... Was she trying to attract attention? Luo Ligang felt a twinge of discomfort; he hadn't wasted precious medicine just for her to flirt with men!
He pulled Qiang Yi away roughly and said irritably, "Don't embarrass me here!"
In pursuit of beauty, Qiang Yi set aside her deep-seated grudges and joyfully sought true love, pushing Luo Ligang aside. He coldly splashed her with reality, saying, "Little Fairy, don't forget that there are differences between humans and demons."
Qiang Yi kicked him hard and retorted loudly, "True love knows no boundaries!"
Luo Ligang lazily raised his eyes, surprised by her naivety. He couldn't help but say, "Do you really think Liu Qingxuan would marry you?"
He knew well that Liu Qingxuan was a weak man; if the the Liu Family opposed their union, Qiang Yi's hopes would inevitably be dashed.
"How could he not marry me when he loves me so much?" Qiang Yi was full of confidence in herself.
"Do fairies really believe in love?" Luo Ligang questioned skeptically.
Qiang Yi felt a surge of anger. Why did he always doubt her love? She firmly believed that her love was unbreakable!
She turned to look at Luo Ligang's face; he had been wearing a dark expression lately. Suddenly, a bold thought crossed her mind: "You... don't secretly have a crush on me, do you?"
Was he holding her back because of unrequited feelings?
Qiang Yi thought whimsically, feeling pleased with herself for this small victory.
Luo Ligang let out a cold laugh. "What if I do?"
Qiang Yi froze in place.
Why wasn't he mocking her for being self-absorbed? Why wasn't he scoffing at her? What if he really did?
The tone, the gaze... it was truly frightening!
Outside, Liu Qingxuan's voice could be heard, and Qiang Yi cowardly slipped away.
Luo Ligang watched her flee in panic and couldn't help but sigh. How could he remind her that there was no future for her and Liu Qingxuan? The love she longed for was destined to be unfulfilled.
As the sunset painted the sky with hues of red, Luo Ligang stood in a daze, only to hear the sound of a clear bell ringing from downstairs.
That sound came from the bell on Old Daoist Xiu Yi's whisk.
When Luo Ligang went downstairs, he saw Old Daoist drinking, while Liu Qingxuan stood nearby asking, "Where's Qiang Yi?"
She had gone to buy some osmanthus cake, and when he returned, Qiang Yi was nowhere to be found.
Luo Ligang chuckled softly and simply said she had gone out to play, suggesting Liu Qingxuan return home first.
He glanced at the jade gourd on the table, smiling but silent, as he led Xiu Yi upstairs. Upon entering the room, Qiang Yi's voice suddenly echoed: "Luo Ligang, you let me down!"
She had just gone downstairs when she encountered Old Daoist and was trapped inside the gourd... it was so frustrating!
Xiu Yi frowned and asked, "Mr. Luo, do you know this little demon?"
"She came to seek revenge on me," Luo Ligang replied nonchalantly.
"You know each other?" Qiang Yi exclaimed from within the gourd, nearly suffocating. "Tell him to let me out!"
"Beg me!"
Qiang Yi cursed inwardly, "Damn it..."
That despicable man, she knew he was no good! Taking advantage of someone in distress was utterly perverse!
Frustrated and anxious, Qiang Yi continued to hurl insults in that chaotic gourd, panting and taking breaks only to resume her tirade.
The gourd was dark and dim, where even the passage of time became unclear.
When she was jolted awake again, she heard Luo Ligang's voice drifting in, "Little Fairy, I can let you out."
Qiang Yi's eyes instantly sparkled like two stars as she eagerly asked, "Really?"
He replied nonchalantly, "But you can’t see Liu Qingxuan anymore."
"No way!" Without a second thought, Qiang Yi rejected him outright, her tone firm and resolute with no room for negotiation.
"Little Fairy, you should know that it's impossible for you two."
Luo Ligang's expression remained calm. Although he knew his words were somewhat cruel, he decided to speak the truth. "The poison in you is harmful to mortals."
Upon hearing this, Qiang Yi erupted in fury, shouting indignantly, "You don't understand a girl's feelings at all! You have no idea how much I long for love! Even a fairy deserves love!"
