Chapter 7

"Why are you here? Aren't you going to work?"

Seeing the mature woman in the white rabbit costume walk in, Chen Yang curiously asked.

"There's nothing much to do for now, so I came to see the hero who bravely saved people from the fire. Is that not allowed?" the mature woman in the white rabbit costume chuckled.

Chen Yang was taken aback, then shook his head with a bitter smile, "I'm not a hero."

"Why not?!" The mature woman in the white rabbit costume quickly smiled seductively, "Come on, young man, don't be modest. Excessive modesty is just showing off!"

Chen Yang coughed dryly, not expecting the mature woman in the white rabbit costume to be so straightforward.

He hadn't paid much attention to her on the ambulance, only finding her attractive and sexy. Now, taking a good look, he realized her natural charm was truly a natural man-killer.

However, perhaps because he had seen the photo of the Fairy Chang'e, his standards had been raised, and he wasn't as excited as he imagined, remaining relatively calm.

Hmm, she's just okay...

That's what he thought.

Just as the mature woman in the white rabbit costume was about to speak, the door opened again. Chen Yang and she turned their heads to see the middle-aged police officer carrying fruit, followed by a middle-aged woman holding a baby, the one he had saved earlier.

Seeing that Chen Yang was fine, the middle-aged woman burst into tears of joy and hurriedly walked over, about to kneel down.

"Oh no, Auntie, there's no need for that!"

Chen Yang couldn't bear such a grand gesture and quickly reached out to support her.

"Thank you, thank you so much..."

The middle-aged woman kept crying, and Chen Yang hurriedly smiled and said it was nothing, then asked, "Can I hold the baby?"

As he spoke, he extended his hand to take the baby. Seeing the chubby little face smile at him, Chen Yang immediately beamed, "Hehe, are you happy?"

Everyone couldn't help but smile, and the mature woman in the white rabbit costume's eyes sparkled, feeling a bit more fondness for Chen Yang.

"Auntie, what's his name?"

"His name is Wei Guodong," the middle-aged woman quickly replied.

"Such a good name! He looks like a jelly..."

Chen Yang's comment made the mature woman in the white rabbit costume burst out laughing, "He's named after the pillar of the country, not the jelly you eat!"

Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh, "Sorry, sorry, I misunderstood!"

The atmosphere in the ward was warm and harmonious. Seeing that Chen Yang was fine, everyone felt relieved. Since the middle-aged police officer had other matters to attend to, he left with the middle-aged woman after a short while, leaving Chen Yang and the mature woman in the white rabbit costume alone.

The mature woman in the white rabbit costume was naturally outgoing and chatty. They quickly added each other on WeChat, and he learned her name was Du Jia.

"Alright, I should be going. We've added each other on WeChat, so let's keep in touch."

"Sure, okay!"

Du Jia smiled and left, waving playfully as she went.

Chen Yang shrugged, feeling less sleepy after all that, and took out his phone, opening the Immortal WeChat group.

"Huh!? Why is it so lively?"

Chen Yang was surprised to see the group flooded with messages: "Great Immortal, please give us some elixirs!" It turned out that Laozi had been added to the group by Tai Bai Jin Xing!

"Damn, this is really a great immortal!"

How did Sun Wukong develop his fiery eyes and invincible body? By eating a bunch of Laozi's elixirs and taking a sauna in the alchemy furnace!

Chen Yang's eyes sparkled. If he could grab an elixir, he might instantly transform from a mortal to a superhuman!

Feng Bo: "Great Immortal, please give us some elixirs!"

Yu Shi: "Great Immortal, please give us some elixirs!"

Jintong: "Great Immortal, please give us some elixirs!"

Yunü: "Great Immortal, please give us some elixirs!"

...

Laozi's appearance had a celebrity effect, even more intense than when Fairy Chang'e posted her photo. Many new faces emerged, and the chat speed was incredibly fast, making it hard to keep up.

After a while, Laozi finally spoke: "Everyone, don't panic. I haven't had time to refine elixirs recently, but my Daoist disciples have refined many spiritual elixirs. If you don't mind, I'll share them with everyone!"

Seeing this, Chen Yang's breathing became heavy. Although they weren't refined by Laozi himself, his disciples were also master alchemists, and their elixirs would be divine for a mortal like him.

Chen Yang prepared himself, holding his breath and staring intently at the screen, ready to grab the red envelope!

Soon, his phone vibrated, and a regular red envelope appeared. Chen Yang quickly clicked it.

"Congratulations, you have obtained one Divine Essence Pill. It has been stored in the Treasure Box and can be extracted and used!"

Chen Yang was overjoyed and eagerly opened the Treasure Box.

[Divine Essence Pill]

Description: Effects unknown.

Huh!?

Are you kidding me?

Chen Yang looked at the screen in shock, having grabbed a pill that couldn't be used?

Juling Shen: "Haha, I got a Nine Spirit Pill!"

Erlang Shen: "Bad luck, I only got a Spirit Law Pill."

Qianliyan: "Erlang, you're lucky. I only got a Heavenly Heart Pill, which is useless!"

Fuhu Luohan: "Hehe, I got a Light Spirit Saint Pill!"

Jianglong Luohan: "Fuhu, are we brothers? Share half with me!"

Tiegua Li: "Fuhu's luck is truly enviable..."

Lü Dongbin: "Envious..."

Nezha: "I got a Water Spirit Pill, who wants to trade?"

Fairy Chang'e: "Nezha, I have a Fire Spirit Pill, want to trade?"

...

"It seems the types of elixirs are quite complex!"

Chen Yang frowned. He knew nothing about elixirs and had no idea what the Light Spirit Saint Pill or Nine Spirit Pill did. After a while, he saw no one mention the Divine Essence Pill, and he didn't dare ask, feeling a bit frustrated.

With this, Chen Yang didn't dare to take the pill. Who knew what would happen if he consumed it? He might explode or turn into a monster. What then?

Pouting, Chen Yang could only put it aside for now. Perhaps he would get information about the Divine Essence Pill later and could take it then.

Returning to the WeChat group, the excitement from Laozi's appearance hadn't subsided. The immortals, having tasted the sweetness, started flattering Laozi, even his mount, the blue ox, was praised.

"Really, no dignity at all!"

Chen Yang shook his head with a bitter smile.

...

Rarely idle, Chen Yang stayed in the hospital for a few more days. Du Jia came almost every day, even bringing meals after learning that Chen Yang was a college student. With a beautiful woman by his side, his days in the hospital were truly relaxing.

During these days, he heard many interesting stories and learned that Du Jia was actually the hospital's beauty. Many people envied him, and it was clear to anyone with eyes that Du Jia had a thing for Chen Yang.

Chen Yang wasn't stupid and could sense it, but honestly, he hadn't thought about a romantic relationship.

A kind woman like Du Jia should find a handsome boyfriend who could love her for life, not someone like him, who had nothing to offer. If he really became her boyfriend, he would feel he was letting her down.

However, let things take their natural course.

At lunchtime, Du Jia came again, carrying a thermal box and still wearing her charming smile.

Chen Yang was used to it and asked with a wry face, "Not congee again? I'm about to throw up."

"Don't be ungrateful. It's already good that you have something to eat!" Du Jia opened the lid and handed Chen Yang a spoon, "Others would be lucky to eat what I cook, so be grateful."

Chen Yang had no choice but to continue drinking the congee. Suddenly, the door opened, and a young nurse walked in, chuckled nervously, and hurried to Du Jia's side, whispering, "Sister Jia, Yang Hui is coming this way."

Du Jia's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she remained calm, "I know, you can go now!"

Hearing "Yang Hui," Chen Yang perked up. He remembered hearing the name from the nurses' gossip. Yang Hui was apparently Du Jia's ex-boyfriend and the son of a hospital director.

After the young nurse left, Du Jia smiled at Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, since I bring you meals every day, shouldn't you thank me? For example, by helping me with a small favor?"
