Rakish Little Immortal Doctor

Yes!

Li Qianfan hadn’t misseen; within Ni Tongtong’s seemingly flat belly, there indeed was a child that had died, and it was emitting an extremely cold aura that seemed like it could lower the surrounding temperature by several degrees.

Since becoming a cultivator, this was the first time Li Qianfan had encountered something so horrifying and bizarre.

The next moment, he immediately released his spiritual power, carefully observing the situation inside Ni Tongtong’s belly, and what he saw startled him. The child wasn’t fully formed, probably only a little over a month old; its tiny body was completely enveloped by the power of the seasonal phase, which was like a thick, dark mist, tightly coiling around it.

Previously, Li Qianfan had thought that the "Cold Dew" seasonal phase power, which rendered women infertile, would be quite frightening, but he had never imagined it could be terrifying to such an extent. It could even kill the infant in the womb and go undetected by others.

Although Ni Tongtong appeared healthy at a glance, with a ruddy complexion and freedom of movement, in reality, she was sitting on a massive hidden health risk, like a bomb that could explode at any moment—potentially taking her life without warning. Truly horrifying indeed!!

"Li Qianfan, what’s wrong?" Li Qian saw Li Qianfan staring blankly and immediately asked, her voice laced with concern.

Her words pulled Li Qianfan from his daze back to reality. After subtly adjusting his emotions, he didn’t bring up his discoveries. Instead, he turned his gaze to Ni Tongtong and Hong Guowei, saying, "Village Chief Ni, Secretary Hong, hello!"

"Hello, Mr. Li!" The two responded immediately, their voices also filled with enthusiasm.

After shaking hands with one another, Ni Tongtong invited Li Qianfan and the team of ten to the village committee office.

The village committee office was simply and tidily arranged, with several tables and chairs neatly placed. The walls were adorned with some planning maps of the village and various regulatory documents. However, after a brief chat, Hong Guowei left, citing work commitments, and since Wang Fei had approached Ni Tongtong directly, it fell to Ni Tongtong to handle the matter.

Ni Tongtong was decisive and straightforward. She said, "Principal Wang left many map fragments here, now in the hands of our villagers. They’ve planned many tasks for you, awaiting your visit to search for the map fragments."

"Village Chief Ni, are the tasks difficult?" Xue Siqi asked with a hint of hope and anxiety in her eyes.

"Not difficult!"

Ni Tongtong smiled gently, her expression as warm and inviting as the springtime sun, "To be honest, Principal Wang arranged this game to train you. He even donated a hundred thousand yuan to our village committee for coordinating with you on your missions, so we won’t make things too difficult for you."

"That’s good, that’s great!" The members of the small group sighed in relief. They had been worried during their journey that the villagers would give them a hard time, besieged by visions of complications and unease.

With Village Chief Ni’s assurance, they were no longer so worried, and their faces relaxed into smiles.

"However, our village has quite a population, and there are only a little over twenty map fragments. As to which households possess them, that’s for you to discover—I won’t provide any clues. But those who don’t have map fragments might still offer you tips!" Suddenly, Ni Tongtong’s demeanor grew serious.

This was understandable; since the task itself wasn’t particularly challenging, if the specific locations of the map fragments were given away, the competition would lose its excitement. Treating the search for the map fragments as part of the competition added a layer of interest.

"Alright, now that you have a general understanding, you should go search for the map fragments!"

Li Qianfan had no interest in such minor competitions, and besides, he had more important matters to attend to,

with his thoughts lingering on the unusual condition of Ni Tongtong’s body and the essence of the Cold Dew seasonal power.

"Teacher Li, aren’t you going?" The collective gaze of the group fell on Li Qianfan, brimming with confusion and anticipation.

While being watched by so many, Li Qianfan felt a bit sheepish, especially since Wang Fei had mentioned that teachers and students should cooperate on the task. Nonetheless, without blushing or batting an eye, he said, "I think the ten of you are very bright. Gathering maps should be simple for you. If I were to come along, it would lessen the difficulty of the task. So, you go ahead and I’ll wait for you at the village committee!" He spoke earnestly, as if truly considering the students’ best interest.

Heh, heh, heh, heh... The group sneered inwardly. Though Li Qianfan had painted a pretty picture with his words, these students weren’t so easily hoodwinked—they knew he must have had his own agenda.

However, Zhao Susu stepped forward, expressing, "I think Teacher Li makes a lot of sense. Finding the map fragments isn’t really difficult; it’s just a way to exercise our social skills. It’s fine for Teacher Li to wait in the committee office while we search."

Zhao Susu’s eyes were filled with trust and support for Li Qianfan.

With Zhao Susu taking a stand, Xue Siqi and the others also stepped up to speak on Li Qianfan’s behalf. Even the usually silent Wu Yue chimed in to help. With so many advocating for Li Qianfan, no further objections were raised, and the group quickly gathered their belongings and set off to find the map fragments.

The village committee office soon emptied, leaving only the three of them with Li Qianfan.

Suddenly remembering something, Ni Tongtong warmly suggested, "By the way, since you’ll need to stay overnight in the village, it happens that my home is quite spacious, and I have already arranged rooms for you. Once you finish the task, you can come directly to my place."

Li Qianfan politely expressed concern, "Would that be too much trouble for you?" His face carried a hint of apology.

"Not at all. After all, since we’ve taken Principal Wang’s money, we ought to provide good service."

Ni Tongtong smiled lightly, but her tone quickly shifted as she spoke, "Mr. Li, I’ve heard from Li Qian that you can change our Coconut Village’s infertility problem?"

Suddenly, Li Qianfan’s expression turned grave, "Village Chief Ni, before worrying about Coconut Village’s infertility, I think you should be more concerned about your own health. You’re in very bad shape, and you could be risking your life at any moment."
