Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Take It or Leave It

Ruyu could only remember being in the office just moments before, feeling a wave of dizziness, and then fainting.

This was an old ailment of hers, which caused her to faint or even go into shock whenever she was overly exhausted! This strange disease had become more and more severe over time, and despite seeking numerous famous doctors, there was no cure...

Now that Xu Fan had unexpectedly awakened her, Ruyu was very curious about how he had managed it...

Xu Fan didn't respond to her curiosity, instead, he gestured with his mouth towards someone nearby.

Ruyu frowned and followed Xu Fan's gaze, only to see Tong Dacheng and some others standing dumbly at the doorway, oh, and there was Wang Jun, writhing in pain on the ground...

"Director Tong, what is this?"

"Uh, Principal..."

Tong Dacheng awkwardly grinned, struggling to find the words he had been brewing in his stomach and failing to say them out loud.

The facts were clear; Xu Fan had just saved someone, and if he himself were to claim Xu Fan had acted improperly? The principal would surely not believe him!

As Tong Dacheng hesitated without speaking, Ruyu did not pay much attention to it and, massaging her temples, stood up from the ground and asked, "By the way, Xu Fan, what brought you here?"

"Well..."

Xu Fan squinted and let out a strange laugh, his gaze shifting towards Zhou Keren at the doorway, who, startled, immediately stepped back!

This was bad!

Zhou Keren clenched her dress and cursed in her heart, now that Xu Fan was considered the principal's lifesaver, the principal would definitely trust his words over hers!

Given her aggressive attitude just now? Zhou Keren felt like crying! Xu Fan was so petty, he would surely take this opportunity to seek revenge on her!

"It was like this, Teacher Zhou saw that I was not too familiar with the school, so she took me around, and we just happened to pass by here when Teacher Zhou felt something was wrong, so she had me burst through the door."

"Uh..."

Zhou Keren was stunned. She blinked her eyes and looked incredulously at Xu Fan, who now seemed as if he was stating a fact.

This...

Rather than taking the chance to retaliate, Xu Fan had shifted the credit to her, yet she had been suspicious of his intentions, feeling a sudden rush of shame!

"Teacher Zhou, thank you."

As Ruyu nodded her thanks to her, Zhou Keren felt bitter and pouted, grudgingly humming at Xu Fan.

"Alright, you guys go on out first, I have some things, I'd like to discuss privately with Xu Fan."

At this moment, Ruyu issued an eviction order to Tong Dacheng and the others who nodded and left the office.

Xu Fan looked at the door he had kicked down, grinned, and joked, "Beautiful principal, you're not keeping me here to discuss compensation for that door, are you?"

"Pfft."

Ruyu shook her head, blinked her eyes, and looked rather attractively at Xu Fan, saying, "Do you really see me as that petty?"

"I kept you here because I wanted to ask if you could possibly treat my condition?"

Ruyu was certain that Xu Fan knew about her peculiar illness; otherwise, how could he have awakened her?

Due to this illness, she had suffered tremendously and doctors had even declared that she had at most three years to live. She now looked at Xu Fan with full anticipation, hoping he would nod!

At the very least, she hoped he could tell her how to treat her condition, giving her a glimmer of hope.

"This disease of yours..."

After a long while, Xu Fan finally spoke, sighing, "It is indeed quite rare, having developed in the womb already, one could say it is incurable by drugs or medicine, but..."

"But what?"

Ruyu pressed him further, her expression filled with anxiety. Xu Fan saw this and smiled, saying, "In this world, there indeed exists a medicine that can completely cure your Jiuyou Cold Body."

"Xu Fan, please tell me, what is this medicine? I will surely repay you generously!"

Finally seeing a glimmer of hope, Ruyu's anxious demeanor was quite unlike her usual calm. She didn't want to die just yet, not to mention experiencing the world's myriad splendors, shouldn't she at least get to experience holding the hand of a loved one?

She hadn't even been in love before!

Ruyu persisted in her questioning, and even though Xu Fan felt awkward, he had to speak up now.

"Since you're so insistent, I must tell you the truth. The only antidote for the Jiuyou Cold Body is the Yang Essence of a Pure Yang Body."

"What does that mean?"

Seeing Ruyu completely confused, Xu Fan smirked and explained, "It's quite simple. You need to unite with a man who has the Pure Yang Body. The toxicity of the Jiuyou Cold Body will be removed, and it will greatly benefit you as well."

"This..."

Upon understanding, Ruyu's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. Unite? What kind of treatment was this?

"Ahem, coincidentally, I happen to be that man with the Pure Yang Body. Beautiful principal, I see you're in a lot of pain, and I'm willing to treat you. So, let's do this, I'll charge you two hundred, and guarantee your recovery."

"You!"

Watching Xu Fan shamelessly make a scissor gesture, Ruyu trembled with anger!

This shameless guy, did he think she was a fool?

"Scram!"

In an instant, Ruyu's gaze toward Xu Fan became icy cold and even disdainful; a man like him deserved such treatment!

It was shameless enough to deceive someone, and now he had the audacity to charge?

"Beautiful principal, think it through. This illness is no joke. If you think it's too expensive, we can still negotiate! As for the pain of the treatment, don't worry, I'm actually quite vigorous!"

Xu Fan lingered, genuinely puzzled. He was offering to help, why wouldn't she appreciate it?

It's too pricey? They could discuss a discount, right? He couldn't treat her for free after all, especially considering he was the Divine Doctor...

"Xu Fan! If you don't scram now, don't bother coming to school tomorrow!"

Ruyu was cold as ice, and Xu Fan immediately shut his mouth, waved his hand, and turned to leave.

When one's kindness wasn't appreciated, one shouldn't impose it, right?

It might sound absurd, but Xu Fan wasn't lying; his physique truly was an acquired Pure Yang Body!

It was termed 'acquired' because his Pure Yang Body was transformed from the golden light in his right pupil.

The acquired Pure Yang Body didn't suffer the burning agony typical of a Pure Yang Body, and in cultivation, it was a one-in-a-million physique. As for completely curing Ruyu's Jiuyou Cold Body, it was a piece of cake!

However, some people just took Xu Fan's good intentions for hooligan behavior…

He had just left the office and hadn't gone far when suddenly someone patted him from behind!

"What!"

The one who patted him was Zhou Keren, who looked at him with a face full of grievance. Xu Fan asked irritably.

Zhou Keren pouted pitifully, and said apologetically, "That, that thing just now, I misunderstood you, I'm..., I'm sorry..."

"Oh?"

Xu Fan raised an eyebrow, intrigued. This girl was actually apologizing to him?
