The Unruly Immortals

Inside Yi Donglai's house, Li Huowang explained to Yi Donglai that what he saw in the past wasn't a delusion, it was real.

"Look, they aren't hallucinations I imagined; they're real. If you don't believe me, touch them and see."

Yi Donglai picked up a glass of water, looked at the crowd around him, pondered for a moment, and then spoke to Li Huowang, "Where did you meet all these people?"

"Doctor Yi, I've told you, they're all Fate Commanders in the White Jade Capital, remember? I've explained my condition to you before. They're real, there's truly another world."

Upon hearing this, Yi Donglai looked around and spoke again, "Who's the leader here?"

"I am," Zhao Shuangdian said.

"Do you find it amusing to deceive a mentally ill person? Do you think that mentally ill people are exempt from murder charges, so you can exploit Li Huowang as you please?" Yi Donglai's expression turned angry.

"I'm telling you! Regardless of what happens, according to criminal law, you are the main offenders! All the crimes Li Huowang commits will be attributed to you!"

"No, they haven't deceived me!" Li Huowang tried to argue, but Yi Donglai seemed to have his own set of ideas.

"Li Huowang! My paper is public, anyone can look up the records and use them to fake your hallucinations! Ultimately, they aim to use you for their purposes!"

"Do you think he's Qing Wanglai? You're wrong! He isn't! He's just a fraud claiming to be Qing Wanglai! Qing Wanglai is just a name; anyone can claim to be Qing Wanglai in front of you!"

"No, it's not like that! He really is Qing Wanglai!" Li Huowang seemed a bit troubled, unsure how to persuade them.

"Why are you hesitating? Why do you insist on making him believe you? Let him get on with the treatment, whether he believes it or not doesn't matter?"

Ba Nanxu said as she pulled out a dagger from her waist, stepping forward and stabbing it in front of Yi Donglai.

Pointing at Li Huowang's head with her tattoo-covered finger, she said, "Cure him, or I'll skin you alive!"

Yi Donglai adjusted the glasses on his nose, shaking his head speechlessly.

Before he could finish speaking, Ba Nanxu flipped the dagger and fiercely smashed the handle onto Yi Donglai's pinky finger's nail.

"What are you doing!" Li Huowang suddenly stood up, furiously shoving her aside.

As he turned to look at Yi Donglai's injury, he saw Yi Donglai's pinky nail had been knocked off, the entire finger purple and bruised, with blood continuously seeping from the nail bed.

Ba Nanxu, who had been pushed back a few steps by Li Huowang, looked at Yi Donglai with a cold smile, threatening, "Cure him, or I'll do the same to each of your fingers and toes."

Clutching his finger and gasping in pain, Yi Donglai looked at the scene in disbelief, "Cure him? You're exploiting his delusions to manipulate him and then say you want me to cure him? Don't you think that's contradictory?"

"No, you don't have to fully cure him, just cure a part of him, like last time. As long as you can do that, the clinical fee is not a problem."

A ding sound rang out, it was from Yi Donglai's phone. When he picked it up and saw the long string of zeros, he was too shocked to speak.

Yi Donglai frowned, again looking at the people in front of him, whose attire did not seem like they would congregate together. Everything felt bizarre.

"Doctor Yi, please help me this time, it's really important. I swear, everything I'm telling you is true!" Li Huowang continued to explain his reasoning to Yi Donglai, but clearly, Yi Donglai was not convinced.

"Li Huowang, you are my patient, I know your condition best. I know everything you've been through, no need to repeat it."

"It's different; back then, I hadn't become a Fate Commander! Plus, Fusheng Heaven hadn't attacked at that time either! Everything has changed drastically compared to before!"

"Oh, really? Fine! Convince me, then! No problem!" Yi Donglai said, raising his phone. "Just tell your parents what these people told you, and I'll believe you."

Li Huowang's expression turned irritable, "Why drag them into this? It has nothing to do with them!"

Realizing something, Li Huowang immediately pulled Yang Na to his side, "Ask her! She knows I'm telling the truth too!"

Seeing Yang Na nodding repeatedly, Yi Donglai looked around at the others and sighed. "You are too young. There are a lot of bad people in society; don't be used by them."

Seeing Yi Donglai still not convinced, Zhao Shuangdian finally stepped forward and spoke. "Doctor Yi, let's discuss this rationally. If you think we're exploiting Li Huowang's mental illness to do shady business, then why are we asking you to cure him? Wouldn't he be more useful if he were crazier?"

"Furthermore, what kind of criminal organization directly offers you such a large clinical fee? Doesn't that conflict with your reasoning?"

Yi Donglai said nothing in response to Zhao Shuangdian's words. Clearly, he had no answer. Though doubts lingered in his mind, he was still unwilling to believe easily.

Seeing this, Zhao Shuangdian stepped back two steps, reaching up to touch his earlobe.

Then Ba Nanxu's voice drew the others' attention, "Doctor Yi, this little girl is very important to you, isn't she?"

With a cold smile on her face, Ba Nanxu slowly licked the picture frame in her hand with her forked tongue.

In the mirror, Yi Donglai was happily holding an eight or nine-year-old girl with a balloon.

"What are you doing!" Seeing the photo frame in the other party's hand, Yi Donglai's expression showed panic for the first time.

It was at this moment that Ba Shengqing, who had been silent all along, stepped forward, snatched Yi Donglai's phone, and tossed it to his sister.

"Since she is so important to you, I believe finding her information through your phone shouldn't be hard, right?"

"Fine! You win! You win! I give up! What do you want!" Yi Donglai's face turned pale, and sweat started to bead on his forehead. Regardless of their identities, he didn't dare to take risks.

Ba Nanxu casually tossed the photo frame to the ground, where it shattered into pieces. "Cure this lunatic."

"I! I'll cure! I've been treating him all along!"

Now that the issue was resolved, Ba Nanxu looked at Li Huowang and the others with disdain. "Isn't it straightforward to handle things like this? What's the point of so much talk? We don't need to persuade his mind, just persuade his body to work."

Feeling guilty about threatening Yi Donglai like this, Li Huowang knew the urgency of the current situation left no time to waste.

"I'm sorry, Doctor Yi, after everything is over, I'll personally apologize to you."

With that, Li Huowang walked over to Yi Donglai, ready to receive his treatment.
