Chapter 4

(1)

It is now the middle of the night, well past midnight, and someone is actually knocking on the door!

Xu Lao San and Xu Lao Si looked tense and warned simultaneously, "Sir, someone coming at this hour... the world is full of dangers, we must be cautious!"

If it weren't for the heat from the small broken knife, Feng Yin would have ignored it completely.

When it doesn't concern you, you can just hang it high and let it be.

Is it really true that a clinic with a good conscience will always have a good conscience?

My clinic will only have a good conscience towards me first, and then others!

But now…

Feng Yin stood up, his expression serious, and said, "You two are mistaken. As a doctor, one must have a heart like a parent. How can we ignore someone seeking medical help in the middle of the night? We, as doctors, have skilled hands and a benevolent heart, dedicated to saving lives. How can we refuse patients because of a little risk? This is not the way of a doctor!"

After speaking, he stood up with a righteous and grand demeanor, walking with the gait of a dragon and the stride of a tiger, almost eagerly heading to the door.

Xu Lao San and Xu Lao Si: "………………"

They were utterly bewildered, looking at each other in confusion.

For a moment, they felt their minds were on the verge of exploding.

Is this... the same black-hearted doctor who was just obsessed with money?

…………

Feng Yin quickly went out, swiftly opening the door. For a moment, he felt a sense of dizziness, as if he had suddenly left this world and found himself in a land of ice and snow.

"An illusion? Or..."

Feng Yin instinctively frowned, as he was pulled into this without any warning.

What is this?

At that moment, a white figure appeared on the distant snowy peak, swiftly approaching.

She wore a white robe, graceful and elegant.

The woman in white, in the blink of an eye, was already standing before him.

Feng Yin's eyes lit up as soon as he saw her, appreciating her beauty instinctively.

The beauty of this woman was so extraordinary that even Feng Yin, who had been influenced by the internet, did not have a single impure thought when he saw her.

There was only admiration and awe.

The woman in white smiled slightly and said, "Sir, please forgive me for using a small trick out of necessity. I hope you can understand."

Seeing that Feng Yin seemed to be cold, she waved her hand, and the icy landscape instantly turned into a warm summer day.

A gentle breeze blew, and Feng Yin felt incredibly comfortable, but his awe only grew deeper.

To change the weather with a wave of the hand?

What level of cultivation is this?

This is beyond Feng Yin's comprehension, something he could never even imagine.

This woman in white is clearly a supreme expert, far beyond his understanding.

Feng Yin immediately realized one thing: he must not offend her.

If he serves her well... there might be great benefits.

"Please don't be so formal," Feng Yin instinctively showed a warm and benevolent smile, displaying his most perfect and kind side.

He said with a gentle and refined manner, "I am a doctor, and as a doctor, I have a heart like a parent. You must have come for an urgent matter. I completely understand. Please tell me what you need, and I will do my best."

The woman in white smiled like a blooming lotus and said, "Sir, you are a good person, something I have long known and confirmed."

Feng Yin: ???

You know me? Long known and confirmed?

What does that mean?

Is this a bit too polite?

"I have come for no other reason but to ask you for a favor," the woman in white sighed slightly and said, "I hope you will agree."

"Please speak, as long as it is within my capabilities, I will not hesitate," Feng Yin said, patting his chest with a grand and righteous demeanor.

Mainly because her cultivation is so high that a single breath could turn him to ashes. There's no way he could refuse.

Feng Yin, having lived two lives, has one major advantage: he knows his limits.

When he is at a disadvantage, it's not shameful to be humble.

Moreover, this woman is a world-shocking expert, and experts usually mean wealth. She is likely to have a lot of gold, not just empty sleeves, but sleeves full of gold, even mountains of gold…

Since she needs his help, there might be a chance to gain a powerful ally.

This is definitely a powerful ally!

While being so righteous, he didn't completely commit himself, adding the condition of "within my capabilities" to leave some room for maneuver. What if her request is beyond his capabilities?

There must be some leeway, right?

"Thank you, sir," the woman in white bowed and said, "Actually, I am not human, I am a demon."

"A demon?"

Feng Yin's eyes widened, looking stunned.

Although he knew about demons and demon beasts before talking to Xu Lao San and his brothers, this was his first time seeing a demon.

Demon beasts he had encountered a couple of times by chance.

Demons... are they all this beautiful?

"Yes, I am a demon, specifically a member of the Seven Apertures Spirit Cat clan," the woman in white sighed lightly and said, "I have come here out of necessity…"

She hesitated for a moment, then extended her hand, revealing a small bundle in it.

Inside the bundle was a tiny kitten, no bigger than half a palm, with its eyes still closed, sleeping soundly. Its little belly rose and fell slightly.

"This is my child. I want you to take care of him for a few days," the woman in white said with a loving and reluctant expression.

"!!!"

Hearing this, Feng Yin was completely stunned.

What is this about?

Suddenly seeing a world-class beauty, and her first request is to take care of her child?

What does this mean?

Is this... a dad story?

"This... this I..."

Feng Yin was at a loss, not knowing how to react: "Your child... why... what is going on?"

The woman in white smiled bitterly and said, "Life is unpredictable. If not for some unavoidable reason, who would want to be separated from their child... Three hundred years ago, I left the Blue Sea Mountain to reach a higher realm... but I encountered a life-changing ordeal... After discovering I was pregnant, I went into hiding in the Southern Frontier..."

"One hundred and fifty years passed, and yesterday, I gave birth. However, someone plotted against me and revealed my hiding place... My peaceful life was destroyed in an instant."

"Although I am a demon, I have always been benevolent, avoiding unnecessary conflicts and never harming the innocent. Now, this disaster... is truly an unforeseen calamity... I am about to leave on a long journey, with constant battles and powerful enemies. My strength is greatly diminished after childbirth, and if there is a fierce battle, especially in the sky, the child will have no means of protection and cannot be placed in my spirit space. He will surely die."

"Moreover, this betrayal comes from the upper echelons of the demon world. Even if I survive, there will be endless troubles. With the child, I cannot even guarantee his survival. It is impossible to take him with me."

The woman in white smiled faintly, but her smile was filled with weariness and exhaustion, and a hint of sorrow flashed in her eyes.

"So, taking the child with me is absolutely impossible."

"Forgive my impertinence... what about the child's father?"

A deep sorrow flashed in the woman's eyes: "Last night, to protect me and the child from escaping... he attracted all the enemies' attention with his own strength. Now, his fate is unknown... This hatred and this grudge, in this life and the next, in heaven and hell... will never be resolved!"

The woman in white took a deep breath and said softly.

Feng Yin forced himself to suppress a shiver.

He could feel the overwhelming hatred and resentment in her soft words.

It's understandable. A happy family, living a peaceful life, suddenly turned upside down, forced to face family destruction and separation. Who could bear this?

"Forgive my impertinence, but why did you come to me? I have shallow cultivation, and even if I promise, I might not be able to fulfill it, which would be a regret!"

"Such consequences, you cannot bear, and neither can I."

This is what Feng Yin cannot understand at all.

"Our Seven Apertures Spirit Cat clan has a natural ability to sense good and bad omens," the woman in white said, "Within a radius of three thousand miles, only you have a faint aura of destiny, giving me a sense of safety, capable of protecting the child..."

The woman in white hesitated for a moment, as if there was something she didn't say, but she continued, "Please, sir, grant me this request."

Her face was pale, almost devoid of color.

From a distance, she seemed to have skin as fair as snow, but now, up close, Feng Yin could sense that this woman, who claimed to be from the Spirit Cat clan, was severely injured.

But this explanation seemed far-fetched.

Natural ability to sense good and bad omens?!

Feeling that this place is safe? I can protect the child?!

This... based on a feeling?

Even in this moment, Feng Yin couldn't help but think of a song: Follow Your Feeling.

To be honest, how can my thin arms make this demon expert feel even a little safe?

Is this a joke?

"Sir, if you agree to my request, I will not let you down," the woman in white, despite her severe injuries, spoke with a gentle and calm voice, "Our hidden place has been discovered and destroyed, but... our other cultivation place is still safe... We came to the hidden place solely for the child's safe birth... If you agree, I can give you an identity key... Once your cultivation reaches the innate level, you can go to my cultivation place, where I will have some rewards for you."

As she spoke, she flipped her wrist, and three shiny objects appeared in her hand.

The small knife on Feng Yin's chest suddenly became scorching hot.

This heat almost made him cry out in pain.
