The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

Ye Tianfan, upon hearing the Black Ape King's howling cries, immediately turned to look at the scene. He saw the Black Ape King shift from just wiping away tears to now crying loudly, with tears flowing as if they cost nothing.

Suddenly, a thought resurfaced in Ye Tianfan's mind: could these tears be collected, boiled, and the resulting steam collected? When the steam condenses back into water, it would be purified water. Given the current unknown water sources, this seemed necessary.

However, Ye Tianfan quickly dismissed the idea. After all, if he actually did that, it would certainly make the Black Ape King howl even more.

Feeling a bit of pity, Ye Tianfan looked at the puddles of tears at the Black Ape King's feet that had formed into many small pools. He shook his head, then walked up to the Black Ape King and spoke.

"Stop crying. I want to apologize for attacking you directly. I'm sorry, but I didn't know if you were going to attack me. Your big hand reached out towards me, and I thought you were going to strike, so I attacked instinctively. But look, I'm apologizing to you. So, let's just call it even!"

Upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words, the Black Ape King froze, even forgetting to cry, simply staring blankly at Ye Tianfan.

The other survivors who heard Ye Tianfan's words also stared at him stupidly. This truly was a master of logic—equating something like this!

Hearing Ye Tianfan's words, the Black Ape King originally wanted to cry even louder, but suddenly seemed to sense something.

The Black Ape King immediately stood up, got on all fours, and began to howl towards the entrance, putting on a wary expression.

Ye Tianfan, seeing this, was initially unresponsive, but quickly realized that the Black Ape King must have sensed something. The perceived threat must pose a danger to its life for it to be so alert.

Ye Tianfan quickly instructed the survivors to hide again, as even the Black Ape King was so vigilant. Given that Ye Tianfan's strength hadn't yet reached the Black Ape King's level, it didn't seem like he stood much of a chance.

As the Black Ape King's howls grew louder, Ye Tianfan knew that whatever was threatening the Black Ape King's life was getting closer to them.

Ye Tianfan now fully prepared himself, with five spiritual power-replenishing pills in his mouth and having already swallowed three to replenish his depleted energy.

He summoned the Xuanhuang Tower above his head and was ready to wield the Xuanlong Seal at any time. Holding the Xiaoyao Sword in his left hand and the Fire Lotus Sword in his right, he was on high alert. Using a three-sword combo would make things much faster.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

As footsteps approached from outside the entrance, Ye Tianfan could distinctly feel an oppressive aura approaching him.

Moreover, that oppressive aura was becoming increasingly powerful.

Ye Tianfan swallowed nervously, his eyes locked on the entrance.

Finally, a figure emerged from the entrance.

Seeing this figure, Ye Tianfan's pupils suddenly constricted.

What did Ye Tianfan see? It seemed as though he was looking at a dragon.

A majestic, awe-inspiring golden dragon.

With four claws beneath its belly, its entire body was covered in sturdy dragon scales. Its golden dragon eyes were filled with an aura of dignity, and the powerful dragon aura spread far and wide.

Why did it seem like a dragon, rather than being a dragon?

Because what Ye Tianfan saw was a Western-style dragon, like a large lizard dragon that lacked wings. Essentially, it was a lizard dragon.

But because the overall appearance was quite striking, with very shiny scales, Ye Tianfan initially mistook it for a golden dragon.

It seemed to belong to the draconic-descended species, possessing dragon blood. However, it had to undergo a transformation celestial tribulation to become a true dragon—a Divine Dragon that roams the heavens, complete with features like rabbit eyes, deer antlers, ox ears, camel head, fish belly, tiger paws, snake neck, fish scales, eagle claws.

But now was not the time to debate dragon species. The pressing issue was how to deal with this draconic demon beast. Judging by the dragon aura alone, this golden draconic creature's power was at least at the early Baihui stage, entirely surpassing Ye Tianfan by a major realm.

Ye Tianfan was puzzled because, upon seeing the golden draconic creature, the Black Ape King acted as though it had seen something distasteful. It snorted, turned its back, and refused to even glance at the golden draconic creature.

To Ye Tianfan's astonishment, as the golden draconic creature, which had been walking majestically, entered and saw the Black Ape King, its demeanor changed dramatically.

Ye Tianfan watched as the golden draconic creature bounced towards the Black Ape King in a hopping rhythm. When it reached the Black Ape King's side, it prostrated its forelimbs, raised its rear, and wagged its tail.

Seeing this, Ye Tianfan deflated instantly. He had been on high alert, bracing for a confrontation with the golden draconic creature, but its bizarre antics left him dumbstruck.

Then Ye Tianfan witnessed a memorable scene.

The Black Ape King, upon seeing the golden draconic creature, smacked it with its palm, turning its body away from the golden draconic creature.

The golden draconic creature was smacked deep into the ground by the Black Ape King. Then, it emerged from the earth, shook off the soil from its head as if nothing had happened, and eagerly returned to the Black Ape King, repeating its antics—prostrating its forelimbs, raising its rear, and wagging its tail!

"Is this a dog?" Ye Tianfan wondered sarcastically.

Because these moves were clearly dog-like behaviors, and seeing them suddenly performed by a majestic golden draconic creature was jarring.

Ye Tianfan analyzed the situation briefly and immediately fell into doubt.

Because from his perspective, this behavior was clearly a courtship gesture.

Instinctively rubbing his chin, Ye Tianfan thought, the Black Ape King doesn't even look female, and from his point of view, there wasn't anything especially appealing about it; in fact, it seemed rather ugly.

But there wasn't much choice—the golden draconic creature was infatuated. What could be done?

Ye Tianfan watched as the golden draconic creature, constantly getting smacked into the ground by the Black Ape King, would lift its head and shake off the dirt, then eagerly return to the Black Ape King to repeat its antics. Ye Tianfan shook his head.

At that moment, Ye Tianfan pondered a very important question.
