Chapter 964: Different Solution



Following them aboard the aircraft, Liu Yan was surprised when he came face to face with a teenager basking another man in golden light, both of them having pale complexions.

"Oh shoot! I forgot to get the blood to the plane when I got it!" Kary exclaimed, dashing to Cory's side.

She was still carrying the cooler bag in bandolier style, while holding her earlier conversation, disregarding that someone on board needed it ASAP.

Looking at Cory, she couldn't help but wonder how much longer he could hold on. But then, an additional problem emerged, threatening to escalate the situation.

"Uh... I don't have the slightest clue how to perform a blood transfusion..." Kary said, looking back at Alex.

Alex defensively raised both his hands.

"Hey, don't look at me. I'm no nurse either," he rebutted.

Liu Yan sighed in exasperation.

"You had blood delivered to you, without someone who can transfuse it? That seems rather unthoughtful, no?" he asked.

Kary grimaced at the words. The thought alone that she had done something without planning ahead was already causing her nausea.

Getting it put in her face like this was making her angry. But she couldn't blame him for it.

She would have done the same if the roles had been reversed.

"We would have figured something out..." she muttered defensively.

Liu Yan looked at her before letting out a chuckle.

"Well, it's a good thing I am here, then. You won't have to figure out anything. My grandparents insisted I take up medical school, even though I loathed attending school."

Kary's face brightened up at his statement.

And in a quick delve deeper into his body, he immediately found the font of mana within his chest, right under his heart, where the soul resided. Which, he had been told long ago, was not a safe place to store mana.

Which is why he wordlessly admonished Liu Yan.

"If you keep storing it there, instead of in a mana lobe, like in New Eden, you'll damage your soul. Unless you find a way to form a dantian," Alex joked, referring to old Chinese folklore.

But Liu Yan only raised an eyebrow at him.

"What do you mean, unless? I already formed a dantian. I'm surprised you could even see past my flesh, given I'm actively concealing my mana presence," he said, his eyes already locking

on Alexander.

But Alex frowned.

He scanned the young man again, focusing on where the mana was accumulated, getting his senses closer many times in a few seconds, before he finally saw a thin layer around the mana. He also noticed that the mana within that small shell seemed to rotate slowly.

"Huh..." he said, surprised.

"I guess there is more than one answer to everything mystical," he added.

Liu Yan looked at him semi-confused, but put this questioning line for later.

He picked a seat facing a small table and waited for the other two to sit across from him. And Ri-Chū, unsure what to do, decided to sit next to Liu Yan since he had been following them silently for a moment.

"I'm sorry I've stolen your spotlight, Riri," Liu Yan said, giving him an apologetic look.

"It's ok, Yan. I wasn't expecting a spotlight to begin with. But this feels a bit overwhelming. I'm just now learning that you are a big-shot gamer... I wish you had told me this before..." Liu Yan's apologetic look softened a bit as he put his hand on Rì-Chu's shoulder.

"If it's any consolation, what I wanted to discuss with your guild leaders might mean you and

I finally get to play New Eden together."

The sad look across Ri-Chu's face almost instantly vanished, replaced by an excited smile.

"Really?!"
