Chapter 46: Chapter 46: The Shocked Dean: Deliver Long Johns to Yun Zhenyue?

After telling her his location,

Less than an hour later,

Gu Yuan heard a knock on his door.

He opened it to find, as expected, Mrs. Yan, who had rushed over in a hurry.

Mrs. Yan was dressed in a white lab coat. She was tall, well over 170 centimeters, and the hem of her coat was stained with dark red spots of unknown origin. Her amber pupils held a mixture of anxiety and anticipation.

She smelled of disinfectant and formalin.

But the scent was faint, as if she had deliberately tried to cover it with rose perfume.

The most striking thing about her, however,

was the bizarre, miniature clock embedded in her forehead. Like a third eye, it took up the better part of her face.

The clock was a fusion of flesh and blood, covered in dark red, vein-like patterns. As its blood-red hands moved, it emitted the grinding sound of bone on bone. KRAK KRAK.

Gu Yuan had been to the Reincarnation Hospital before, so he wasn’t surprised by the clock on Mrs. Yan’s forehead.

It was her ability, the Reincarnation Bell.

It could control the flow of time for any patient whose power did not exceed her own.

She could rewind a patient’s body back to its optimal state to heal them, or she could accelerate its timeline to cause their death.

It was an exceptionally fine ability.

"Mr. Gu..."

Yan Ruyu’s heart raced as her amber eyes gazed at Gu Yuan.

She once had the honor of following Gu Yuan for a time.

She knew his power was heaven-defying!

Yan Ruyu worshipped Gu Yuan.

Of course, she would only do this for Gu Yuan. If it had been anyone else—even another supernatural of the Evil Star rank—she would never have dropped everything to rush over like this.

As the head of the Reincarnation Hospital, countless supernatural beings were desperate to get on her good side!

"It’s been a while, Ms. Yan."

Gu Yuan chuckled at the sight.

"Come in. I actually do have a favor to ask of you this time."

He led Yan Ruyu into his home.

Seeing her standing stiffly by the sofa, he told her to sit and brought out two cups of hot tea, handing one to her.

Yan Ruyu held the teacup in her hands, feeling utterly flattered.

She took a deep breath. "You can just call me Yan."

"I happened to be in the neighborhood, so I came right over after getting your call."

"Oh?" Gu Yuan was curious. "Was there something going on?"

He remembered that Yan Ruyu was a workaholic and almost never left the hospital.

Hearing this, Yan Ruyu licked her dry lips and then complained, "There’s this little hospital that was using the Reincarnation Hospital’s name."

"Not only that, but its director was just a high-level Crimson-robed Ghost. When I showed up, he actually dared to impersonate me and demanded I kneel and apologize to him... So I used a few of my tricks and gave him a ’small’ punishment."

"My clothes got dirty. I must be a sight, Mr. Gu."

’A ’small’ punishment?’

Gu Yuan saw through her understatement but didn’t call her out on it, just smiling slowly.

With Yan Ruyu’s power, she could have instantly killed a Crimson-robed Ghost from a distance.

The corner of her coat was stained with blood; she must have been absolutely furious.

"As a hospital director, you need to be more level-headed. Don’t be such a powder keg, ready to explode at the slightest provocation,"

Gu Yuan advised.

"It’s precisely because of this temperament that you can’t pass the assessment—"

He stopped there,

Gu Yuan cut himself off,

afraid of touching on a sore subject for Yan Ruyu.

"Mr. Gu, you..."

Yan Ruyu sounded rather resentful. She gazed mournfully at Gu Yuan, but he simply maintained his smile, which only made her feel more flustered.

Gu Yuan had a secret organization, composed of supernatural beings who had the honor of following him.

Unlike the orphanage he had created on a whim,

this organization had extremely strict recruitment requirements!

There were standards for one’s abilities, personality, and even moral outlook!

As the director of the Reincarnation Hospital, she had no issues with her abilities or morals. Her Reincarnation Bell allowed her to handle any supernatural being below the rank of Evil Star, and she didn’t enjoy killing others without reason.

It was her fiery temper that was the sole obstacle holding her back.

As a result, she was still just a substitute member in the organization.

"Anyway, let’s get to business," Gu Yuan said, ignoring Yan Ruyu’s glum expression.

He brought out a bag.

"My wife, Yun Zhenyue, has ended up in your territory."

"I’ve noticed the weather’s been quite cold these last few days, and the clothes she left with were rather thin."

"Here are two pairs of long johns. Could you take them to her..."

Gu Yuan placed the bag in front of the stunned Yan Ruyu.

Then he took a sip of his hot tea,

and waited for her reaction.

Three seconds later!

Yan Ruyu’s brain, which had completely crashed, finally rebooted!

"—PFFT!!!"

Yan Ruyu’s pupils constricted as she spat out a mouthful of hot tea!

She accidentally sprayed it all over Lily.

"MROW~" Lily turned her hollow eye sockets toward Yan Ruyu in displeasure.

"I’m so sorry, so sorry..."

She hurriedly used her sleeve to wipe the tea off Lily.

Only then did she sit back down on the sofa.

Her expression stiff, Yan Ruyu asked with a look that questioned her very existence, "Mr. Gu, I think I might have gone deaf just now. Could you please say that again?"

"You’re not deaf. I’m asking you to deliver long johns,"

Gu Yuan said calmly. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

’She, a hospital director, was being asked to deliver long johns?!!’

’And the long johns were pink!’

’If it weren’t Gu Yuan saying this!’

’Even if a Great Evil had asked, the powder keg inside her would have instantly exploded!’

’It sounded like a total insult!’

But Yan Ruyu quickly realized that wasn’t the main point!

’The main point is—Mr. Gu is married?’

"You... You’re married?!!"

Yan Ruyu’s mind raced. Her entire supernatural being was in shock!

Her pupils lost focus, her crimson lips parted slightly, but her breath caught in her throat.

After a long moment,

she finally snapped out of her shock.

"Which instance dungeon is this Yun Zhenyue from? I’ve never heard of an SSS-rank instance master getting married. Is she a high-level Great Evil, or a peak Great Evil?"

"Why would an existence like that need to wear long johns?"

Hearing this, Gu Yuan shook his head. "Neither. She’s just an ordinary human."

"...Huh?"

Yan Ruyu was stunned all over again.

She knew Gu Yuan did as he pleased, but she never imagined he would choose to marry a human.

’Heavens!’

’For a being like him to lower himself to such a degree.’

’How is this any different from an ancient emperor marrying a beggar?’

She felt an intense curiosity about this so-called Yun Zhenyue, and a deep sense of envy as well.

Marrying Mr. Gu... the entire Ghost World would be the dowry!

However, if it were her marrying Mr. Gu,

Yan Ruyu felt a little intimidated.

After all,

Mr. Gu not only had a good personality, but his power was also unparalleled in the world.

This had attracted many powerful and beautiful female supernaturals.

In the past, female supernaturals would confess their feelings to Mr. Gu from time to time.

Some laid out 999 hearts for him, some planted an entire instance dungeon with roses made of human heads, and some female supernaturals even scored their own bodies with intricate cuts, eager to slice themselves up for Mr. Gu’s enjoyment.

It was absolute chaos back then!

Unfortunately, Mr. Gu rejected them all.

But this time, he was showing so much concern for this human woman.

’He must be especially fond of her.’

Thinking of this, Yan Ruyu vouched, "Rest assured!"

"As long as she’s in my territory, if she so much as loses a single hair on her head, you can punish me however you see fit!"
