Zhu Yi smiled mysteriously, "Let me tell you, this major event has shocked the entire Yuqing Town!"

Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow. Seeing Zhu Yi's demeanor, it shouldn't be anything bad, so he asked, "What exactly is it?"

"Our little Doudou loli went viral on the internet overnight and became a trending topic as a web celebrity!"

Zhu Yi took out his phone, scrolled through some pages, and then handed it to Liu Zixuan.

A striking headline appeared in front of Liu Zixuan.

"Kawaii loli goes viral overnight, befriends a peculiar leopard."

Liu Zixuan looked at the few pictures below, all of which were photos of Doudou playing with Little Blue!

He couldn't help but twitch his mouth a few times, "This little girl really isn't afraid of anything, taking Little Blue to play in the mountains!"

"Who wouldn't agree," Zhu Yi laughed, "When I first saw that leopard, I was too scared to move. But little Doudou took the blue leopard everywhere. Surprisingly, the leopard would act fiercely when others tried to approach Doudou, but it was very gentle with her!"

Saying that, Zhu Yi asked curiously, "I heard this leopard was brought in by you, Liu brother. I've seen all kinds of leopards on TV or in real life, but this blue leopard, what's its origin?"

"Do you remember Huanyun Mountain I mentioned before?"

"Of course, you previously mentioned some Ghost Gate Needle there," Zhu Yi replied.

"I later figured that Little Blue might be the guardian of the Profound Thunder Needle," Liu Zixuan laughed. "As for its exact origin, I don't know why it's blue, but I assume it has something to do with those lightning bolts!"

"A treasure, it really is a treasure. I think it's unique in the world," Zhu Yi marveled.

Liu Zixuan smiled, thinking it's nothing extraordinary. Every living thing has its reason for existence; Little Blue's presence is formed by the way of nature.

"Once I'm done, I'll go see that little girl. Now that she's a web celebrity, she should definitely take me along," Liu Zixuan laughed.

Zhu Yi snickered, "You sure have a playful heart. But let me tell you, I've heard people are already proposing to Sister Lian for marriage."

"Damn... Doudou is still so young," Liu Zixuan muttered, cursing under his breath.

"Kids today mature early."

"What are you two chatting about? Seem so happy?" At this moment, Qingning walked out. Fresh from a bath, she had an ethereal aura. Her hair wasn't completely dry, giving her the charm of a beauty just out of the bath.

"Just some village matters. I'll take you to see after checking your health," Liu Zixuan smiled.

"You guys chat, if there's anything, just say it," Zhu Yi said as he sensibly got up and left.

Qingning sat down, looking at Liu Zixuan, "That red pool is quite peculiar. After bathing once, I felt my body was incredibly comfortable, almost as if filled with energy!"

"Of course, our General Zhu mentioned that the water in the pool isn't something ordinary people can imagine and works wonders for women. Many of his clients want to get in there, even offering tens to hundreds of thousands, yet General Zhu remains unmoved!" Xiaoqin next to them muttered.

Qingning gasped, "So valuable!"

She looked nervously at Liu Zixuan, "Does that mean you had to spend a lot?"

"Don't listen to Xiaoqin's nonsense; it's not that magical." Liu Zixuan waved at Xiaoqin, "You go ahead and get busy. I need to talk with Qingning privately."

"Alright." Xiaoqin nodded and left.

Liu Zixuan turned to Qingning, "It's nothing, just a pool of water. Besides, it originally belongs to me, no cost involved!"

"I'm so curious, what kind of person are you?"

Qingning, who was initially intrigued by Liu Zixuan's medical skills, now found herself interested in him as a person.

It seemed like in Ghost Wood City, his medical skills were phenomenal, garnering immense respect from even the veteran doctors, and it's the same in Lingxiu Village. Most of the villagers have an indescribable affection for him, and such a luxurious estate seems like his own backyard!

This seemingly ordinary Dr. Liu Zixuan, who exactly is he?

Liu Zixuan smiled, "I'm just an ordinary person. Don't think of me as some kind of deity. Let's not talk about that, let's hear your story."

At his words, Qingning fell silent for a moment, seemingly organizing her words, "This has to start from when I was four."

Liu Zixuan placed both hands flat on the table, concentrating fully.

"Before four, I vaguely remember being very happy. The three of us, my parents and I, lived a joyful life together. But on the day of my fourth birthday, all the happiness was shattered!"

Qingning revealed a hint of sadness, continuing, "I remember that day being rainy. When heading to kindergarten in the morning, my dad told me he would buy me a birthday cake that evening, and I looked forward to nightfall all day long."

"Finally, as dusk approached, my parents came as promised to pick me up. But on the way home, there was an accident!"

With that, Qingning glanced at Liu Zixuan, tears welled up in her eyes, "A truck crashed into our car at high speed. My dad died instantly, his eyes fixed on me. Meanwhile, my mom, trying to protect me, held me tightly in her arms, but she herself was impaled by a steel bar flying out of the truck."

"I remember mom's last words being: 'Happy birthday, darling!'"

"Did you know? The torrential rain outside seemed like it was going to flood the world. I just lay there in my mom's embrace, watching my parents die in front of me, completely numb, not knowing how to cry or smile."

"Afterward, I drifted from place to place, first to the hospital, then the police station, then to a foster care institution, until I finally met my current adoptive parents!"

Now Liu Zixuan understood that Qingning's title of "young lady" wasn't by birth!

Qingning wiped tears from the corners of her eyes. "Before age fourteen, I lived a very different life. My adoptive parents treated me well, like their own daughter, but after I turned fourteen, I started having the same dream every night!"

Liu Zixuan asked, "Was it the scene of the accident?"

"That's right, every single day of the year, it's the same dream. I'd always wake up from it, and the most crucial part is that my congenital heart disease was diagnosed when I was fourteen, never before!" Qingning said.

Liu Zixuan, upon hearing this, wasn't surprised. Congenital diseases aren't always present from birth; many illnesses have incubation periods. Some people's incubation periods are short, while others stretch over decades!

He gradually realized that the so-called heart disease Qingning referred to was the scene of that car accident from years ago!

Her birthday had become the death anniversary of her parents!
