Lu Zhe discarded the half body of the ant, keeping only its head and mandibles tightly biting the wound.
Then came the second one, the third one!
Using seven ants, he tightly clamped the wound together.
Lin Qianqian asked, "What does this mean?"
"It's a method used by African natives to stitch wounds with ants. It's a less scarring method and sometimes more reliable than using needles and thread! Learn it!" Lu Zhe explained.
Jiang Yao looked puzzled and said, "Vaseline suffocates horseflies, ants stitch wounds... Oh my, what strange knowledge have I acquired?"
Tang Xiaoguo sighed, "I bet the horsefly never imagined it would die of suffocation!"
Ning Shu also marveled, "Even ants would never dream that they possess tailoring skills!"
Finally relieved, Lin Qianqian said, "Is it enough now?"
"Not yet!" Lu Zhe shook his head. "I'm not sure if there are any other parasitic larvae on her body. To eliminate any hidden dangers, we need to thoroughly examine every inch of her skin!"
Ning Shu pondered and said, "So... we have to undress Miss Ruan completely for the inspection?"
Lu Zhe nodded, "That's right! So, I'm counting on all of you for this task!"
The four girls imagined the sensation of little maggots crawling beneath the skin and nodded in agreement.
"Let's start while she's asleep!"
The girls hurriedly helped Ruan Bing undress.
Suddenly, Jiang Yao expressed her concern, "What if she wakes up and thinks we've gone crazy and want to eat her?"
Ning Shu furrowed her brow and replied, "Jiang Yao, can your thought process be a little more normal?"
"Mhm..."
The girls began their careful examination and were relieved to find that Ruan Bing only had one horsefly larva on her arm!
Jiang Yao sighed, "I didn't expect her to be so lucky."
Tang Xiaoguo pouted, "It's really enviable."
Ning Shu helplessly remarked, "Can you two focus on something more appropriate? Look at Lin Qianqian. Hey, Qianqian, what are you looking at?"
Lin Qianqian stared at Ruan Bing's upper thigh and murmured, "I've found a suspicious small red dot!"
The three girls looked over and instantly blushed.
"Qianqian, your focus is really peculiar. Look here!"
"Lu Zhe said we need to inspect every part of her skin... and I... I just noticed something suspicious here!"
"If it's really what we think it is, then it's tragic!"
"But what if it's not?"
"It's really hard to tell, isn't it?"
"This might be a horsefly egg?"
"I think we should ask Lu Zhe about this!"
"I agree. Let's have Lu Zhe confirm it. Saving a life is more important than anything else!"
Lin Qianqian nodded in agreement, "I think so too! As a doctor, Lu Zhe shouldn't be kept in the dark by his patient!"
Jiang Yao and Tang Xiaoguo also expressed their approval.
"Lu Zhe, could you come here for a moment?"
"What's the situation?"
"Take a look at this..."
Lu Zhe turned around and followed the direction pointed out by Lin Qianqian. Suddenly, his brain buzzed and he felt like his nosebleed was about to gush out!
"I'm still a virgin, but I'm forced to witness such a cruel scene! You guys are really heartless!"
"We're sorry, Lu Zhe!"
"This is also for saving people!"
"Just consider it a test. Only if you pass, you can prove that you're a true gentleman!"
"Cut it out! I'm not a gentleman. I'm just a normal guy, you know? I get shy!"
"Shy?" Ning Shu burst out laughing. "Don't pretend to be so innocent!"
"Haha, Lu Zhe is blushing!"
"So cute!"
"Alright, enough teasing. What's the situation?"
"There's a small red dot here, I don't know what it is!"
"Wait!" Lu Zhe pondered for a moment. "The late emperor started his business but died halfway and now I'm stranded on a deserted island. I have to check something, but forget it..."
Lu Zhe wasn't sure if it was a horsefly larva, so he reached out and touched the red dot with his finger!
"Ding! Found a cinnabar mole!"
He let out a sigh of relief.
"This isn't a horsefly larva, it's just a cinnabar mole!"
"How did you know by touching it?"
"Feel how a horsefly larva moves!"
Several girls breathed a sigh of relief!
"After all that, it's just a cinnabar mole?"
Lu Zhe nodded. "That's right, but I still appreciate your cautious attitude!"
Tang Xiaoguo pouted. "By the way, you've had an eyeful, haven't you?"
"I only looked at that little red dot. I didn't see anything else!"
Jiang Yao smirked and said, "I believe you!"
"It's not..."
"Alright, no need to explain! We understand!"
Ning Shu changed the subject. "Let's put some clothes on her!"
"Not yet!"
"Why not?"
Lu Zhe explained again, "There may be insect eggs on her clothes. They need to be thoroughly washed and sun-dried or baked for six or seven hours before she can wear them!"
"I see..." Ning Shu thought for a moment. "Then let her wear a light jacket?!"
"That won't work either! Right now, I'm not sure if there are any hidden insect eggs on her body. We have to wash her before deciding!"
The girls looked at each other, thinking that Lu Zhe's concern was not unfounded.
"What should we do then?"
"I suggest giving her a thorough wash from head to toe! Remember not to touch the surgical area, and also wash her clothes thoroughly!"
Lu Zhe thought for a moment and added, "In addition, we have all had contact with her, so theoretically, there might be horsefly eggs on our bodies too! So, we also need to wash our clothes and take a shower to ensure there are no eggs on us!"
Ning Shu exclaimed, "Ah? Does that mean we have to be completely honest with each other?"
Jiang Yao imagined it and said, "I strangely feel a bit excited!"
"What are you thinking? We have plenty of banana leaves, we can make temporary dresses and shorts. Let's get through the night like this, dry the clothes tonight, and we can wear them tomorrow."
The four girls looked at each other. "Okay... Let's do that!"
Lin Qianqian and Tang Xiaoguo went to rinse the clean seawater, preparing to clean up!
Jiang Yao and Ning Shu carried Ruan Bing's clothes to the rocks by the seaside to do the laundry!
Jiang Yao shouted, "Hey, Xiaozhe, take off your clothes and let us wash them!"
Lu Zhe felt a warmth in his heart but still refused, "Not now, I'll go dig some wild vegetables to eat tonight, and I'll wash them when I come back!"
After Lin Qianqian and Tang Xiaoguo finished washing Bingjie, they wrapped her up in banana leaves.
Lin Qianqian said to Tang Xiaoguo, "Let's go to the oyster stall and get some oyster meat. We'll all eat together when we come back! It's not convenient to go too far after taking a bath and washing clothes!"
Tang Xiaoguo was delighted, "I was just thinking about it. Let the squad leader and Yaoyao take care of Bingjie!"
The two girls went to the oyster beach with two plastic bags.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhe took a harpoon and prepared to enter the woods to gather some wild vegetables. But as soon as he took a few steps into the grassland, he stopped!
Cold sweat kept pouring out of his head!
Fifteen meters in front of him, there was a large python with a severely injured neck... Oh, no, a large python was staring at him with ill intent!
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
