Chapter 3

"Excuse me." Someone's words made Runyu open his eyes and looked surprised by the guest in front of him.

Runyu looked at Xufeng in shock. "Excuse me, is this the physician's house?" Xufeng asked. "Right." Runyu said raising his feet from the lake. "Your tail is very beautiful." Xufeng said suddenly. Runyu cleared his throat and immediately took the box containing his physician's tools. "Are you hurt?" Runyu asked reducing the awkwardness. 'It seems that Xufeng came to the human realm. Calm yourself.' Runyu thought. "My soldiers are injured." Xufeng said. "Take me to them." Runyu said.

Xufeng brought Runyu to where his army was injured. "How to call you?" Xufeng asked. "You can call me physician Zhang." Runyu said calmly. Upon arrival, Runyu treated the injured soldiers carefully and carefully. After he finished, Runyu looked at Xufeng. "Take off your clothes." Runyu said flatly.

Xufeng stared at Runyu in shock. "You are injured in your stomach. If not treated it will rot." Runyu said flatly. Xufeng complied. Runyu treated Xufeng carefully. 'In the human realm or the Celestial Realm it's still the same as bringing soldiers.' Runyu thought as he bandaged the wound. "Done." Runyu said backwards.

“Qin Tong” Xufeng called. "You don't have to pay me. Let's just say we're meant to be meet so I'll help you." Runyu said before leaving. Xufeng and Qin Tong stared at each other. The next day, Xufeng and Qin Tong returned to Runyu's house and found nothing but a forest without a house.

Of course Runyu put up a stronger barrier to avoid being detected by Xufeng. 'He went for the hardship and built a deeper relationship with Jinmi but still managed to get in my way. Bother!' Runyu thought annoyed.

A few days later when Runyu came out, many residents around Runyu's residence asked why Runyu had not come out for several days. "Physician Zhang, there was someone looking for you but we said maybe you were busy so didn't come." Obviously a citizen. Ruyu smiled. In the Human Realm, Runyu used his real name, Zhang Qingyuan.

Runyu checked on a few patients before returning to his routine. Runyu was sure Xufeng would be more busy with Jinmi now and wouldn't have time to bother him anymore. Runyu was busy practicing when a green signal was sent from the direction of Dong Ting lake. Runyu immediately went there and found his mother lying there and Luo Lin being alert.

"Mother." Runyu said approaching Su Li. "Thank goodness you're okay." Su Li said before his body turned into red light and spread out. "Mother." Heartbreaking screams were heard. The injured Yanyou and Luo Lin looked at Runyu sadly.

Runyu mourns and does not receive visitors. Kuang Lu brought news that Yanyou was being held captive by the Heavenly Empress. 'There are things that never change.' Runyu thought coldly and went to the Celestial Realm. Arriving there, Runyu stared at the Heavenly Empress with murderous eyes. Runyu managed to let go of Yanyou and made Yanyou stand behind him.

The Heavenly Empress was quite surprised that Runyu's magical prowess had increased a lot since the last time they met. "He is a resident of Dong Ting Lake. The Su Li that you killed, has nothing to do with Dong Ting Lake, he is just a person living there. If you dare to touch Dong Ting Lake, you know the consequences, Mother." Runyu said coldly.

Ice sleet was right in front of the Heavenly Empress' heart. No one noticed this and left everyone in shock. "I'm done with my part. Goodbye, Mother." Runyu said goodbye. “You…” The Heavenly Empress' angry words interrupted Runyu.

"The current me, unattached to the Celestial Realm. I can do whatever I want without fear of you. I didn't disturb you so don't bother me, Mother. This is a final warning if you don't want to end up tragically like Su Li." Runyu said bringing Yanyou along with him.

Returning to the human realm, Yanyou handed a memory pearl to Runyu. Runyu saved without looking at it at all. Li er took Yanyou to go rest. Runyu crushed the memory pearl. Runyu returned to the routine of let's work, practice and sleep.

Several years passed and the news of the Saint Girl dying rang all around. "Jinmi is back." Runyu muttered and got to work. Everything was going on as usual but an uproar broke out in the Celestial Realm. Runyu didn't really care. Runyu knew because the gossiper Yanyou always came home with stories.

After a long time of work, Runyu rested and fell asleep beside the big pond. Runyu was exhausted because he had not rested for several months. An epidemic occurred in the human realm so Runyu had to help the humans. Someone sat beside Runyu and looked at his tail smiling. That person stroked Runyu's tail making Runyu squirm uncomfortably.

"Stop it, Yanyou. I'm uncomfortable." Runyu grumbled in his sleep. "I'm not Yanyou." Xufeng said annoyed and rubbed Runyu's scales roughly. Runyu's eyes opened in surprise. Runyu held Xufeng's hand that was about to rub his scales again.

"How did you find this place?" Runyu asked in surprise. "Brother, it's really unfair for you to let Yanyou be near you even though he doesn't have the same blood as you. Meanwhile, I, who has the same blood as you, was kicked out just like that." Xufeng said holding back his emotions. 'Yanyou, that bastard.' Runyu thought annoyed.

Runyu's hands were held above his head. Runyu backed away and himself hit the rock behind him. 'Damn it!' Runyu thought irritably. 'I heard that the tail of a dragon is very sensitive. Did you let Yanyou touch it?” Xufeng asked annoyed. “Let me go and scram!” Runyu said angrily.

Xufeng grinned and gently stroked the scales of Runyu's tail. Runyu's face turned red. Runyu bit his lower lip in annoyance. The dragon's tail is very sensitive for the Dragon. 'I will skin Yanyou and throw him into the Wang Chuan River.' Runyu thought angrily. Xufeng backed away suddenly causing Runyu hand's grip to slip.

When Runyu felt he had a chance to escape. Xufeng suddenly hugged Runyu. "I'm sorry about your mother." Xufeng said suddenly. Runyu's body stiffened. Runyu had not even had time to pull his feet out of the pool. Runyu returned the warm hug.
