“Xiao Xin, you heard that beautiful elder sister at the entrance calling for me. Can you let go of my tail now?”
Through Dao Yan’s field of vision, Hu Yao’er noticed that An Nai Xin, who was sitting behind her, was actually staring at her other self, completely mesmerized. She found the situation a bit amusing and frustrating.
But knowing she had important things to do, Hu Yao’er quickly said this to An Nai Xin behind her, urging her to let go of her tail.
Hearing Hu Yao’er’s voice, An Nai Xin snapped out of it and immediately released Hu Yao’er’s fox tail, apologizing to her.
“Sorry, Sister Xiao Hu, I was a bit distracted just now.”
Her tail finally free, Hu Yao’er turned around, patted An Nai Xin’s little head, and said to her.
“It’s okay. After all, Dao Yan is a one-of-a-kind beauty in this world. It’s totally normal for you to get distracted by her. Alright, I need to go help out now. I’ll come back to play with you later. Remember to lie down and rest well, and wait for your mom and dad to come, okay?”
Hearing Hu Yao’er’s words, and having her reason for being distracted pointed out, An Nai Xin’s face immediately flushed bright red. However, knowing she had to respond to Hu Yao’er, she nodded, lowered her head, and said to her.
“I understand, Sister Xiao Hu.”
“Mm.”
Hu Yao’er hummed softly in reply, then withdrew her little hand from An Nai Xin’s head, turned around, and walked towards Dao Yan standing at the tent entrance.
“So, what’s up? Need my help with something, Dao Yan?”
Hu Yao’er walked up to Dao Yan. Knowing there were other people present, and that they couldn’t just start working without saying anything in front of them, Hu Yao’er pretended and said this to Dao Yan, her other self.
Being essentially the same person, Dao Yan quickly played along with Hu Yao’er and said.
“It’s like this, Hu Yao’er. Director Bai just asked me to…”
In front of the other wounded in the tent, Dao Yan explained the task Bai Yuling had given her. After Hu Yao’er indicated she understood, she pointed out several wounded individuals she couldn’t currently handle and who needed to be sent to the hospital.
After confirming the number of wounded was correct, Dao Yan directly used her Daoist arts to make the wounded float up from their stretchers.
After saying a word to Hu Yao’er, Dao Yan led the wounded out of the tent and headed towards the nearest major hospital.
Watching Dao Yan leave, Hu Yao’er quickly turned around and returned to An Nai Xin’s side.
Seeing Hu Yao’er appear before her, An Nai Xin, who had been chatting with an elderly woman, another wounded person beside her, immediately focused her attention on Hu Yao’er. Remembering the information she had just gotten from chatting with the elderly woman, she took the initiative to ask.
“Sister Xiao Hu, was that beautiful elder sister who appeared in the tent just now the legendary Female Emperor Dao Yan?”
“How do you know that title?”
Hearing An Nai Xin’s question, Hu Yao’er, who had been busy putting on an act with her other self and hadn’t noticed what was happening here, couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“The elderly woman next to me told me.”
Pointing to the elderly woman lying nearby, An Nai Xin answered Hu Yao’er like this.
Hearing this, a look of understanding appeared on Hu Yao’er’s face, and she said.
“I see.”
Seeing the change in Hu Yao’er’s expression, An Nai Xin, whose question hadn’t been answered yet, quickly reminded her.
“Sister Xiao Hu, you still haven’t answered my question.”
Reminded by An Nai Xin, Hu Yao’er snapped out of it and answered her.
“Yeah, that’s right. The person who appeared in the tent and talked to me just now was the Female Emperor Dao Yan herself.”
“So that beautiful姐姐 really is the legendary Female Emperor Dao Yan. I wonder if I can be as pretty as her when I grow up.”
Having received confirmation from Hu Yao’er, An Nai Xin couldn’t help but say with a hint of envy.
“Don’t worry. As long as Xiao Xin you go to bed on time every day, eat well, drink well, play well, and aren’t picky, you’ll grow up to be a very outstanding little beauty.”
“Really?”
“Of course it’s true. Even though I’m not exactly a professional expert, I am a doctor now, after all. So, Xiao Xin, don’t you trust what this doctor says?”
Hearing Hu Yao’er’s words, remembering how she had treated her and others earlier, and believing her to be a highly skilled and experienced doctor, An Nai Xin, who had great trust in the profession, quickly dismissed her doubts and answered her.
“Mm, I believe what Sister Xiao Hu says.”
“What are you two chatting about?”
Just as Hu Yao’er and An Nai Xin were talking, Si Ye Xing, who had finished her rescue work and arrived near the tent together with Zhao Mei’er—another clone of the main body, or rather another self—lifted the curtain and walked in, asking the two chatting people this, even though she knew perfectly well what they had been discussing earlier.
Hearing Si Ye Xing’s voice, An Nai Xin’s face immediately lit up with joy. She quickly looked towards where Si Ye Xing was and called out loudly.
“Sister Ye Xing, you’re here!”
“If this Death God didn’t come, wouldn’t I be breaking our agreement?”
Holding her slender waist, Si Ye Xing, draped in a black cloak, walked up to An Nai Xin, poked her nose tip with a finger, and said to her with a smile.
“Ye Xing, you’re here. Mm, where’s Mei’er? Didn’t we ask her to come meet up with us after work?”
Seeing yet another self appear beside her, Hu Yao’er, knowing the answer perfectly well, asked Si Ye Xing deliberately.
“She’s outside. You know she doesn’t really like appearing in front of a lot of people. After all, her outfit and the supernatural powers she possesses are just too eye-catching.”
“That’s true. It’s good that she’s here.”
Hearing Si Ye Xing say that, Hu Yao’er showed an expression of understanding, and then said this to her.
“Sister Xiao Hu, Sister Ye Xing, who is this Zhao Mei’er you mentioned?”
Hearing Hu Yao’er and Si Ye Xing both mention a name she had never heard before, An Nai Xin couldn’t help but ask curiously.
Hu Yao’er quickly cleared up her confusion and answered.
“Zhao Mei’er is a friend of mine and Ye Xing’s.”
“Friend? I see. So, was the Female Emperor Dao Yan who was talking to Sister Xiao Hu earlier also a friend of you and Sister Ye Xing?”
