What the heck?!
Ding Hui was dumbfounded!
She couldn't believe her eyes!
She even thought there was a problem with her ears, that she had heard wrong!
How could a person, a Martial Artist, a Hundred Household of the Foolish Underworld, transform into a mystical creature??
What kind of joke is this? This is crossing species barriers!
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Do you even know what you're saying?"
Snapping back to reality, Ding Hui was speechless.
Diao Deyi must have his head in the clouds, huh? People who don't understand research just don't get it, spouting such nonsense.
Does he have any idea how ludicrous that sounds?
It's as absurd as saying birds actually swim in the water and fish fly in the sky, completely defying common sense!
Humans transforming into mystical creatures? In their dreams!
If humans could really turn into mystical creatures, the population of Tianyuan Town would have drastically declined!
These days, nothing's cheaper than human lives!
With the teeming population, whenever needed, just grab as many as you want and directly transform them into mystical creatures, mass-producing Believers and battling demons!
Even if they couldn't beco Believers, a large number of wild mystical creatures could be quite useful; at the very least, let loose in the surroundings, they could suppress the number of demons.
As for whether the lower classes would like to beco mystical creatures, that's for them not to decide – they don't have that freedom.
So if humans could beco mystical creatures, not to ntion Tianyuan Town, everywhere would've been in chaos by now.
Therefore, such a thing is impossible.
Humans are humans, and mystical creatures are mystical creatures! The two are completely different species, with no possibility of transformation.
"I know you don't believe it, but it's what I've seen with my own eyes. Li Baizhen has now beco soone else's mystical creature, rging into one with that person. That person has already been detained by , in the prison. Just follow to see for yourself. You know my capabilities; I don't understand these things, but you should be able to see what's going on, so let's look into how we should deal with this."
After a pause, Fang Yu added: "Ding Hui, Li Baizhen is of the Li Family, and that person is also from the Li Family, I'm not sure how long I can detain them. So it's best that we get moving as soon as possible."
"..."
Ding Hui's expression shifted from utter disbelief to deep skepticism.
Primarily because Fang Yu seed so certain.
"It must be so kind of Demon Martial Artist that absorbs others or an Artifact that can rge two people into one, deceiving Diao Deyi."
Ding Hui thought to herself.
Although Ding Hui did not know why Diao Deyi would make such a far-fetched judgnt that humans could beco mystical creatures, in her scholarly opinion, it was impossible for anyone to do so.
Thus, the only explanation was that Diao Deyi had been tricked by soone's words or by an act.
Well, that's how laypeople are.
That's why, at this mont, they need my genius to enlighten them!
Ding Hui regained her composure.
"Fine, I will follow you this once."
Once I help you unveil the truth of this matter and then reveal my latest research findings, we'll see who stands superior and thus put an end to his questionings of my authority!
Hmph!
"Diao Deyi..."
Her older sister spoke up, her eyes filled with concern.
She didn't understand anything about mystical creatures or research, but when matters involved the Five Great Families, one couldn't help but worry.
"Older sister, don't worry, nothing will happen. If the Li Family really cos demanding people, I'll just hand them over if it cos to that. Plus, I owe Li Baizhen a debt of gratitude, as you know. There's still a chance now, I want to try if I can save him; if not, at least I can say I've tried..."
Fang Yu did not finish the rest of the sentence.
After all, do what you can and let fate do the rest.
He had attempted from his side, and if it didn't work out, there was nothing more he could do since he wasn't skilled in these kinds of studies.
The professional here was Ding Hui.
After a brief pause, Fang Yu changed the subject.
"By the way, the maid you picked seems quite nice, very delicate and charming."
"Are you talking about Xiao Qiao? She lost her father at a young age, and her family was left with five other siblings. Out of desperation, she took the step to sell herself; she's had a tough life. I also noticed her features are fairly refined, if you like her, in a few days I could have her beco your concubine... Ah! Doctor Ding, I didn't an that!"
Her older sister stopped halfway through her sentence, as if she rembered sothing, and hastily waved her hands, leaving Ding Hui confused. Then, Ding Hui rembered that she and Fang Yu were still maintaining an 'intimate relationship' publicly!
Normally, taking a concubine should only be done with the wife's consent; otherwise, it would be dishonorable to talk about it.
Although not officially married, Ding Hui had been sharing a room with Fang Yu on a daily basis, and her older sister had long since recognized their relationship.
"Taking a concubine... Isn't it too early for that?"
Ding Hui deliberately raised an eyebrow and glanced sideways at Fang Yu, almost unable to suppress a laugh.
This guy, taking a concubine still has to get past my permission, holding the lifeline in a certain aspect, huh.
Fang Yu gave an awkward smile.
"What are you talking about? Let's focus on the important matters at hand. Let's head to the prison first; you can rest at ho, older sister, and also sort through the servants' information. I'll look them over when I get back, to prevent any undesirables from sneaking in."
"Mm... Mm!"
The older sister didn't understand how to assess people and didn't have the resources of the Foolish Underworld to investigate backgrounds. However, these servants were all brought by Diao De's subordinates for her to choose from; there shouldn't be any problems, right?
Fang Yu and Ding Hui walked outside shoulder to shoulder, with the older sister following behind.
Watching their backs, she couldn't help but feel uncertain.
"Those two, have done everything, Diao Deyi's work is stable now, perhaps it's ti to start planning the wedding?"
"If the Diao Family has descendants, I'll have peace of mind and can give an explanation for the loss of my parents... and my missing older brother, ensuring the Diao Family line doesn't die out."
