Chapter 490: Chapter 490

Ding Fan had spent an entire night lingering in the Small World before he came out again.

When he pushed open the door and walked out of the hotel, he unwittingly realized it was already past eight o'clock the next morning.

Just as Ding Fan had come out, he heard stories from the hotel about ghost hauntings, starting with the disappearance of stones and straw that had been piled in the corner. Then, there was the missing wooden bed from one of the rooms...

For a time, the hotel staff and guests were all cast into a state of panic.

Others might not know, but Ding Fan was aware that this wasn't the work of any ghosts, but rather the doing of Zizi and Duorou.

A knowing smile crossed the corners of Ding Fan's mouth; these two little rascals were certainly lively in their thinking, already knowing how to cozy up to the female master, Ye Ningqing.

Ding Fan left the hotel.

Today, he planned to visit the company, as it was a time of trouble. Normally, Ding Fan could afford to be hands-off, but not now. He couldn't just let Hu Jin shoulder all the burdens—that was not Ding Fan's style.

Since it was still early, Ding Fan took a fancy to stroll along the road towards the company. The source of this content ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥

The hotel where Ding Fan stayed was not far from the company, just a thirty-minute walk, and there was a park to pass through midway. There was no point taking a car for such a short distance; it was better to breathe some fresh air.

Ding Fan crossed the street and had not walked far when he saw a crowd gathered at the street corner.

Ding Fan had no interest in watching the bustle, but at that moment, he felt an extremely cold presence.

The aura he sensed was like nothing he had ever encountered. Soul Bodies had a chilly essence, but compared to this presence, they seemed negligible.

This presence was even colder than that of Soul Bodies.

Ding Fan was curious to see who could emit such an aura. It was coming from within the crowd.

Ding Fan squeezed into the crowd and saw in the center a blonde, blue-eyed foreign woman, on her knees, crying desperately. Beside the woman was a young foreign man with sunglasses, lying down.

The woman, around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, was rather beautiful, but she was covered in blood, and next to her was a deformed car from a collision. Ding Fan understood at a glance that these two foreigners had likely been in an accident.

Ding Fan's focus shifted to the young foreign man on the ground. His complexion was pale, and his breath was weak to the extreme.

The chill he had felt earlier was emanating from this man.

At that moment, the foreign woman clung to the young man, crying out loud. She kept muttering something, but as Ding Fan didn't understand English, he wasn't clear about what the foreign woman was saying.

Ding Fan used his Divine Sense to check the young foreigner.

Ding Fan found no especially severe injuries on the young man; at most, his leg bone had been fractured from the collision.

But why was he so weak just from a broken leg?

Upon investigating with his Divine Sense, Ding Fan quickly discovered that the man had a piece of ice in his mouth. Unlike ordinary ice, Ding Fan could tell that this ice was meant to shield from the sun and repel light.

Seeing the ice, a thought flashed through Ding Fan's mind. He suddenly remembered that in the Cultivation World, people used this kind of ice when transporting corpses; they would place the ice in the corpses' mouths.

This way, Soul Bodies could withstand sunlight and inhabit the bodies, moving about normally during daytime...

Having figured this out, Ding Fan realized that the foreign man before him was very likely the legendary Vampire.

Ding Fan had read about Vampires in some books, and in Myanmar, he had even encountered Vampires from The Stars and Stripes Country's Sixth Guard Squad.

However, what was different was that he didn't feel any murderous aura emanating from this Vampire, unlike those from the Sixth Guard Squad...

Ding Fan then observed the foreign woman, who appeared to be a normal human rather than a Vampire.

"Please, can anyone help call an ambulance... my boyfriend might not make it..." the foreign woman said in proficient Huaxia language to the people around her.

There were plenty of onlookers, but only a few were willing to help, and in the end, it was two students who made the call for an ambulance.

"Your boyfriend's injuries are serious, and he probably won't last until the ambulance arrives," Ding Fan mused before stepping forward and speaking to the foreign woman.

"You? Can you treat my boyfriend's injury?" The woman's face lit up with hope as she spoke.

Ding Fan nodded. "I can."

"If you can cure my boyfriend's illness, I'm willing to give you money... give you US dollars!" The foreign woman said earnestly.

As he spoke, Ding Fan stood up and addressed the people around him. "Who has a black umbrella, or a sunshade... loan it to me."

The crowd was taken aback by Ding Fan's words.

Initially, they had thought Ding Fan was just a medical student because of his youthful appearance, but now, instead of attending to the injured, he was asking the crowd for an umbrella...

Who doesn't get sick, who hasn't been hospitalized, but who has ever seen someone use an umbrella to treat an illness...

"Kid, don't just do this for a little money, this is a foreigner we're talking about. If something really goes wrong, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to resolve."

"Yeah, this is an international issue now. If something really goes wrong, money won't be able to solve it."

For a moment, a wave of skeptical voices emerged around them. To these people, Ding Fan seemed nothing more than a swindler; how could an umbrella possibly cure anyone?

Hearing the words of the people around her, the foreign woman beside them also began to hesitate. "Sir, can you really cure my boyfriend's illness?"

If it were any other time and someone doubted Ding Fan's abilities, he would have walked away without a second word. But now, Ding Fan needed to find out about this foreign young man's background, so he patiently said to the foreign woman.

"Only I can treat your boyfriend's injury; nobody else can."

As soon as Ding Fan finished speaking, another round of argumentative voices arose.

"Young man, you sure talk big. Others can't cure it but you can? Are you some kind of divine doctor?"

"Dude, you don't think you're some kind of national player, do you? Pretending isn't that easy."

Ding Fan ignored what the people around him were saying and just looked at the foreign woman across from him. "You need to think carefully. If you don't use me, your boyfriend will surely die."

The foreign woman pondered for a moment, then looked at the young man lying unconscious on the ground.

At this point, the young man's complexion was pale to the extreme, with not a hint of color in sight. Furthermore, his breathing was almost imperceptible, and he now looked almost like a dead man.

"Sir... I believe you, please save my boyfriend," the foreign woman finally made up her mind, then said to Ding Fan.

Ding Fan didn't waste words and directly asked the foreign woman, "First, give me a hundred US dollars."

The woman was stunned for a moment, then she hurriedly opened her purse and took out a hundred US dollars to give to Ding Fan.

The people around them started to discuss even more when they saw this.

The treatment hadn't even started, yet he was already asking for money; this was clearly a scam.

Ding Fan took the US dollars that the woman handed over, then promptly raised them up. "I'm offering a hundred US dollars, whoever has an umbrella or sunshade, bring it to me."

The crowd was taken aback; they had never expected that Ding Fan wanted the money to buy umbrellas and sunshades.

After a brief moment of thought, someone quickly handed over an umbrella.

You need to know that a hundred US dollars is six to seven hundred yuan. An umbrella costs only about ten yuan, so who wouldn't take the opportunity to trade a few yuan for a hundred dollars?

Seeing someone exchange a broken umbrella for a hundred US dollars, the people around them stomped their feet in frustration.

Those who brought umbrellas regretted their slow reaction; those who didn't hated themselves for not bringing an umbrella out that day.

Ding Fan paid no attention to the thoughts of those around him. He opened the umbrella and then directly covered the man's head with it.

Having covered the man's head, Ding Fan's right hand shot out sharply.

He accurately struck several of the foreign young man's major acupoints.

Ding Fan had previously studied the acupoints of foreigners. The physiological structure of people from The Stars and Stripes Country was the same as that of people from Huaxia Country, so the acupoint techniques were naturally the same as well.

After sealing the young man's acupoints, Ding Fan then stretched out his right hand and sealed the young man's Renzhong (philtrum) with his thumb.

Following this, Ding Fan began to steadily infuse True Qi into the young man's body.

This whole process took Ding Fan less than a minute, and then he spent less than three minutes infusing the True Qi.

By the time the emergency medical team arrived, the foreign young man had miraculously woken up.

The woman saw the young man wake up incredibly.

Although the young man's complexion was still very pale, his eyes were bright and his breathing was smooth. Gone was the gasping figure from before.

The people around them clicked their tongues in wonder; just an umbrella and a few taps had miraculously cured the man. It was just too astonishing.

"Thank you, Huaxia's divine doctor, thank you for saving my boyfriend. Whatever you want, just name it!" the foreign woman said.
