Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group?

Although Nightingale was pretty, she could not be Chen Heng’s waifu. Chen Heng felt if he proposed to her, Shining might brandish the staff in her hand and fight him to the end.

[TL Note: A waifu is a fictional female character that one is romantically attracted to or considers one’s significant other. It is the English transliteration of the Japanese transliteration of the English word “wife.” Here is the Wiktionary entry on waifu: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/waifu.]

Since that was the case, why pay such a huge price? Only a fool would do things that incurred such a loss. As for Sirin…perhaps Chen Heng might be willing to pay a few points.

However, Chen Heng and Nightingale had only exchanged a few words so far.

Chen Heng was more interested in Shining’s abilities as a Medic rather than as a swordswoman. Even if Shining was a skilled swordswoman, would she be stronger than Chen Heng? Given Chen Heng’s abilities, he could easily destroy the world at a whim, and the world could do nothing about it.

However, Shining’s abilities as a Medic were different. As a six-star Medic, she could treat Chen Heng’s teammates during the mission. However, he did not need this, as he felt nothing could threaten him here.

After chatting with Amiya yesterday, he learned she was joining the rescue too. Perhaps Kal’tsit was more interested in the process of saving Doctor rather than the result.

If Chen Heng wanted to rescue Doctor, even from the most terrifying prison in the world, he would probably need less than five minutes—and that would include the travel time. After all, spatial jumps were quite incredible.

Of course, there was the tiny possibility Kal’tsit did not know how strong Chen Heng was. However, that should not be the case. After all, Kal’tsit was a rational person who would plan for everything…. Erm…actually, it might be possible after all, since Chen Heng had not mentioned spatial jumps when he introduced his abilities.

Although Kal’tsit might not have thought of it, Chen Heng did not intend to explain it to her now. What if Kal’tsit kicked him out of the world right after he rescued Doctor? His purpose here was to lie low, so he would delay for as long as he could. Right, it’s happily decided.

At worst, he would help her out a little more.

After eating, Chen Heng followed Nightingale and Shining to Nightingale’s intensive care ward.

How do I say this…this ward is overly luxurious! It lives up to the remuneration of two six-star operators.

“Alright. Miss Nightingale, please remove your shoes. I need to check how severe Miss Nightingale’s leg injuries are. If they are not severe, I can fully heal them. However, I can only do some treatment if they are too severe, and complete recovery might be impossible.”

“It’s fine. It will be fine if you can lessen the burden on Liz. However, do you need to touch her during your treatment, Mister He Who Knows Fate?” Shining held little hope for Chen Heng fully healing Nightingale. While she was not confident, some relief would be fine. However, she found the part of Chen Heng touching Nightingale a bit repellant.

Although it was somewhat rude to say this to Chen Heng, his appearance at the blood bank was indeed somewhat…

“Don’t worry. The physical contact is very minimal.” Chen Heng showed he understood. After all, if he had such a pretty daughter, he would smash the head of anyone who dared to touch her.

“Alright, then. Liz, can you cooperate with Mister He Who Knows Fate?”

“Sure.” Nightingale appeared cooperative—rather, obedient.

After Nightingale removed her socks, she lay on her bed.

Chen Heng extended his sinful hands towards Nightingale’s fair, long, and slender thighs. Then he sent in something indescribable…. Alright, it was inner strength. This was what Chen Heng used to examine injuries.

“Ooohhh…” When the inner strength entered Nightingale’s legs, she moaned despite herself.

“What’s wrong, Liz? Do you feel discomfort?” Shining quickly asked Nightingale after hearing her moan.

“It’s nothing. My legs just feel warm.” The inner strength that suddenly entered stimulated her. Nightingale quickly recovered to normal after that lapse.

“Is that so? It’s good that nothing’s wrong.” Shining’s confidence in Chen Heng increased a little at Liz’s answer. Feeling something is good. Feeling something is good.

Reassured of Nightingale’s situation, Shining immediately kept quiet so as not to interrupt Chen Heng and patiently waited for the result.

On Chen Heng’s side, although Nightingale’s legs felt nice and soft, that was not the important part. The most important part was that her legs and her entire body were in a terrible state. Right now, he used inner strength to nourish her legs while checking on the rest of her body. He trusted his hands more than the reports of machines that required a certain level of skill to use. After all, he could not read those reports.

Judging by the information from his inner strength, Chen Heng was already certain that Nightingale’s body was in a terrible state. She looked about eighteen but had the body of a seventy- or eighty-year-old.

The reference to age did not refer to the aging process but the degree of accumulated injuries. Everyone got injured. Perhaps it would not be obvious when young, but these hidden injuries would show themselves as one aged.

Nightingale’s body could be described as covered with cuts and bruises. Although the exterior showed nothing, the interior was heavily wounded.

Fortunately, Chen Heng did not have to pay much of a price to treat such injuries, no matter how severe, as they were just on an ordinary person’s level.

Usually, the stronger and the higher-tiered one was, the greater the price for treating injuries. Although Nightingale was indeed an expert among ordinary people, she had not become a higher-tiered lifeform.

For example, those Tribulation Candidate Realm cultivators, Immortals, or similar experts of Chen Heng’s world would find treating severe injuries problematic. Some healing techniques would work for minor injuries, but it was normal for them to spend thousands of years recovering from severe injuries.

“Miss Shining, pardon my frankness, but Miss Nightingale’s body reached its limits long ago. Did she suffer from some inhuman abuse in the past? Her body is worn-out. If not for receiving excellent treatment, surviving until now would have been difficult.”

“Liz…she…did indeed suffer from abuse. However, this is not the time for that. How is it, Mister He Who Knows Fate? Can you treat Liz’s legs?”

“Treating her legs should not be a problem.” Chen Heng found this strange. Did this world’s technology overly specialize in destruction? They clearly have non-scientific techniques like Originium Arts but have no way to treat a leg injury of this severity?
