The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 677 An Xue’s Abilities

Upon hearing An Xue’s words, Ling Feng was taken aback for a moment.

Having this girl’s help would be a good thing, but to take her to the Nine Heavens was a bit inconvenient.

Frankly speaking, they had known each other for only a few hours, and neither party really understood the other. Ling Feng didn’t even know her specific circumstances. So, it certainly wasn’t appropriate to rashly bring a strange girl to learn about his biggest secret.

Therefore, he smiled, gave no definite answer, and just said, "Let’s not hurry with that. Let’s go buy things like oxygen tanks first, then we’ll talk."

An Xue’s gaze flickered, having already guessed Ling Feng’s thoughts.

She had long realized he was no ordinary person and there must be certain things he didn’t want her to know about.

Thus, biting her lip, she suddenly made a significant decision, speaking softly, "If I go underwater, we won’t need those devices..."

Ling Feng had just started the car and was preparing to set off when he heard this, turnign to look at her in astonishment, "What did you say?"

An Xue looked up at him, "You heard me..."

"Uh... but I don’t understand. Are you saying you can swim under water for a long time without an oxygen tank?" Ling Feng asked, eyes wide with amazement.

"Mm-hmm..." An Xue nodded slightly.

Ling Feng, with a look of astonishment, asked, "How is that possible! How long can you stay underwater?"

"If I’m not hungry, I can stay under indefinitely."

Having said this, An Xue lifted her head to look at Ling Feng, "Mr. Ling, this is my biggest secret, please don’t tell anyone!"

Ling Feng was speechless, staring at An Xue in astonishment, "No way? Are you a human or a fish?"

His remark made An Xue laugh out loud, and she glanced at him, "Of course I’m human. It’s just weird; I don’t know why I can stay underwater for so long!"

"Then you don’t need to breathe?" Ling Feng was still very astonished.

"Of course, I need to breathe, but the pores in my skin can absorb the free oxygen in the water, which is why I can stay underwater for so long." An Xue explained.

"This, this is simply incredible!"

Ling Feng’s eyes glazed over, feeling as if he was listening to a mythological tale. But then he burst into laughter, almost giving An Xue a shock.

Seeing him like this, An Xue, somewhat nervously, asked, "Mr. Ling, what’s wrong?"

"I’m fine, I’m fine, just really happy. This is truly a godsend!"

Ling Feng was overjoyed. It was like falling asleep and getting a pillow. He had just entered The Fifth Layer, found it to be an ocean, and now he had encountered a mermaid. Wasn’t this arranged by the heavens?

So, without further ado, he started the car and stepped on the gas, leaving the parking lot behind.

Seeing that the car was heading out of town, An Xue asked with some confusion, "Where are we going?"

"Taking you to my place. There are some people I want to introduce you to. Besides, I agree to your offer to help me underwater!"

Ling Feng kept his eyes on the road, thinking that securing the Spirit Stone today should be no problem.

An Xue didn’t say anything, feeling a sudden relief in her heart.

That meant he was willing to trust her.

Without any particular reason, An Xue felt a surge of happiness in her heart, realizing her destiny might be about to change.

It was just getting dark when Ling Feng drove back to Shiliu Village.

After getting out of the car, he turned back to An Xue and said, "You haven’t had dinner yet. We’re not in a rush, let’s eat first then talk!"

"Okay, I’ll follow Mr. Ling’s lead."

An Xue nodded and followed Ling Feng through the door, looking around curiously.

Ling Feng went straight to the back, unsure if anyone was home today or if dinner had been made.

When he reached the kitchen at the back, he found not only people but quite a few of them!

Mo Jiaolan, Chen Yuhe, Li Shiyun, as well as Li Fei’er were all there!

As soon as he saw them, Ling Feng immediately smiled, "This is great, everyone’s here!"

"Uncle, what’s with you? You look like you haven’t seen us in ages, why so happy?" Li Fei’er asked, puzzled.

Ling Feng chuckled, "I’ve brought someone back with me..."

After saying that, he turned his head towards the door, "An Xue, come on in!"

An Xue entered the door nervously, and when Li Shiyun and the others saw her, they were all taken aback!

Li Fei’er was even more surprised, "No way, uncle, you brought back another sister?"

Ling Feng was startled and quickly explained, "Don’t overthink it, this sister is not like the others, she’s here to help me!"

After speaking, he looked at An Xue, "Don’t be nervous, these are all my friends, and they’re my family too! Let me introduce you."

"Ms. Mo, what are you doing here?"

An Xue’s gaze lingered on Mo Jiaolan’s face, full of surprise.

Mo Jiaolan was also startled and asked in confusion, "You know me?"

"Yes, I used to work as a part-timer in your hotel, probably too many people, you may not remember me," An Xue said awkwardly.

"Is that so? I really don’t remember, come sit down by me!" Mo Jiaolan said with a smile as she got up.

With her presence, An Xue’s nervousness was eased a lot. Seeing this, Ling Feng said, "You girls chat, I’ll be back later!"

His intention was to let the girls talk more and foster some camaraderie. Unexpectedly, Li Shiyun called out to him, "Don’t go, we still don’t know what’s happening, what’s there to talk about?"

"Uh, you have a point, let’s eat and talk!"

Ling Feng scratched his head and sat down to recount the events that had happened at the swimming pool that afternoon.

Since he was only saying the highlights, the story was finished quickly, and then he looked around at everyone, "An Xue has the ability to stay underwater for extended periods, so I’d like her to help. That way, The Fifth Layer is no longer an issue for us, at least for now!"

Li Shiyun and the others were all baffled and turned to look at An Xue, not expecting the frail-looking young lady to possess such an incredible ability!

Li Fei’er was even envious, "Oh my gosh, you can actually breathe underwater. Are you a mermaid, sister?"

An Xue blushed at her words and shook her head with a wry smile, "That’s not it. I don’t know why it’s like this, maybe I was born with it?"

"Having such an ability, you can indeed be of great help to Ling Feng. He’ll surely thank you properly in the future!" Li Shiyun said.

"I also want to properly thank Mr. Ling. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t know what to do today," An Xue said.

Ling Feng smiled, "Let’s not stand on ceremony, let’s eat first, and after we’re done, we’ll head to The Fifth Layer!"

Everyone talked while they ate. Before long, An Xue had integrated into the big family. Although she didn’t know why Ling Feng had so many beautiful girls around him, she felt much more comfortable being with everyone than just being with Ling Feng alone.

After dinner, everyone cleaned up the dishes, and then they all teleported to the Nine Heavens.

An Xue was barely over her astonishment when she was brought to The Fifth Layer and saw the vast ocean.

Ling Feng handed her a Spirit Stone, "I need you to help me find one of these."
