Facing an Ancient God for a Year

When Veil arrived at the small town hospital, her expression was extremely solemn.

Before leaving, she had even hoped that this was just a joke by Fu Qian.

Regrettably, until her arrival, there had been no sign of him changing his mind.

Left with no choice, she could only muster her courage and continue this visit to the sick.

However, this was not out of place, as the proportion of those who visit the hospital with a smile on their face was originally low.

Although it was a small town hospital, its size was not small, probably because residents from other nearby towns also came here.

Veil, obviously having been here more than once before, led Fu Qian directly to the inpatient area without asking for directions.

“This is it.”

Shortly after, outside one of the wards, Veil bit her lip and pointed inside.

Upon hearing this, Fu Qian nodded, and under her intense gaze, pushed the door and entered.

This was a three-person ward, spacious and well-lit.

On the bed near the window, the rebellious girl, Riet, lay there, quietly staring out of the window, daydreaming.

Even at the sound of the door opening, she showed no reaction, not even turning her head.

Almost instantly, Fu Qian could feel Veil’s breathing become suppressive behind him.

Fu Qian walked forward quietly and tapped the headboard of the bed.

Riet, who had been looking out of the window, finally reacted, furrowing her brows and turning around with displeasure on her face.

Seeing Fu Qian beside her, her heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment.

Ah!!!

The next moment, after confirming Fu Qian’s face again, the rebellious girl screamed sharply, almost as if her tail had been stepped on, she jumped up from the bed.

“Riet!”

Veil hurried forward, calling out to her sister.

The rebellious girl stiffened, only then noticing her sister.

“Mr. Fu Qian is here to visit you.”

Seeing Riet’s hand already on the call button, Veil quickly explained, signaling her sister not to press it.

Knowing her sister’s character, if she pressed the call button it wouldn’t be to summon a doctor, but to kick both Fu Qian and herself out.

Out of the ward, the hospital, and even out of the small town.

“Why are you here? This place is supposed to be off-limits to you, isn’t it?”

Having regained her composure, Riet looked at her sister, and after a long while, she spoke coldly, her hand still not leaving the call button.

“I…”

Facing her sister’s cold eyes, Veil opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain for a moment.

“I’ll count to three. If you haven’t left by then, don’t blame me for calling for someone.”

Riet, looking at her sister, showed no joy at the reunion but instead issued a direct expulsion order.

The latter’s complexion instantly lost all its color.

“It’s okay, you can press it.”

Seeing that Veil was indeed about to leave, Fu Qian made a gesture, signaling Riet to do as she pleased.

Then, without regard for Riet’s reaction, he walked to the window and looked outside.

There’s nothing wrong at all!

Fu Qian thought to himself.

In that brief moment, he had already scrutinized the condition of this rebellious girl.

It turned out, there was nothing special to be found.

Even the beast claw from their last encounter had now disappeared.

When Riet turned around just now, Fu Qian noticed her entire right hand was empty and dangling.

Presumably, this was what Veil had referred to as “dealt with.”

Riet was clearly self-conscious about this, as the position she had been lying in just now perfectly concealed her severed hand.

And obviously, Riet, who had lost her Limb Attachment, had completely the air of an ordinary person.

The rebellious girl had not undergone any new mutations due to her special hometown.

“Don’t…”

Upon hearing Fu Qian’s words, Veil shouted in despair.

At this moment, Riet also finally turned her head around for the first time, with a frozen expression.

After the first glance, she didn’t dare to look towards Fu Qian again.

It was obvious that her previous experience had left her with a considerable psychological shadow.

The hand gripping the call bell was squeezed so tightly that it turned white, but after hesitating for half a minute, the bell ultimately did not ring.

Riet bit her lip and silently withdrew her hand.

…

Veil, who witnessed this scene, also finally let out a sigh of relief.

However, the breath was only half released.

The next moment, an indescribable sense of danger exploded from beside her and spread wildly in all directions.

This…

In that instant, Veil’s thought process nearly came to a halt, but she still stepped forward, instinctively standing in front of her sister’s bed.

That’s right, the source of the dangerous presence was none other than Fu Qian next to her.

Staring at him dumbfounded, Veil clearly could not understand Fu Qian’s actions.

Her sister had already given up shouting for help and reporting the incident, there’s no need to worry about being driven out of town, so why is there suddenly such murderous intent?

She just couldn’t figure it out!

And Riet behind Veil, at this moment, was curled up into a ball, trembling terribly.

In fact, as an ordinary person, she wasn’t as sensitive to this Transcendent presence as her sister.

Unfortunately, being too close to Fu Qian and directly in the line of fire, just sensing a tiny fraction of it was already unbearable for her.

“What happened?”

At that moment, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside, and a middle-aged nurse hurried in.

Another ordinary person, probably drawn by Riet’s scream from earlier.

“Is there a problem? Who are they?”

The nurse glanced at Fu Qian and Veil, their confrontational stance obviously seeming strange to her.

“I…”

Veil became nervous as she inhaled, but after hesitating for a moment, Riet finally shook her head.

“My sister came to see me, there’s nothing wrong.”

“That’s good, remember to call me if you need anything.”

Perhaps seeing the obvious resemblance between Veil and Riet, the nurse didn’t doubt them further, left a message, and then left the ward.

“You guys talk.”

Seeing the atmosphere fall silent once again, Mr. Fu Qian didn’t wait for Veil to speak and walked straight out himself, leaving the two to face each other.

His previous behavior wasn’t meant to intimidate the rebellious girl.

In fact, Fu Qian was quite certain Riet didn’t have the courage to report him.

People in their rebellious phase, when facing real threats, often aren’t as fearless as imagined.

And Fu Qian was even less interested in involving himself in the sisters’ love-hate relationship.

The reason for suddenly releasing the Demigod’s presence was only one— to flush out the hidden enemy.

Although on the way here, as well as in Riet’s ward, everything seemed normal, Fu Qian didn’t want to leave it at that.

So he made no attempt to conceal it, directly releasing the Demigod’s presence to see if it would provoke any unusual responses.

Since ordinary people aren’t sensitive to this, it wouldn’t cause any chaos or the risk of being discovered.

And in fact, there was a response.

As the presence swept through the entire hospital, a certain area gave Fu Qian a different sensation.

It wasn’t that any Transcendent powers appeared, but rather, as his presence passed through that area, it vanished silently and without a trace.

It was as if it had encountered a void.
