"Who are you?" Chen Qingdi asked.
"I'm with the Evil God Sect, the leader of those soldiers," the man replied. "Are you here to save me?"
"I'll do my best. My Power has only just started to recover, and I'm still not sure how to use it properly," Chen Qingdi said.
The surgery took an hour, but Chen Qingdi finally managed to heal the man's injuries. He felt his Power gradually returning and decided to take the opportunity to escape.
"I'm leaving now. If I don't, I'll be trapped on this deserted island forever," Chen Qingdi said.
"You can't leave," said one of Fang's bodyguards.
"Why not?" Chen Qingdi asked.
"The Evil God Sect won't let you escape." Fang's voice suddenly rang out. "We only allow you into this operating room when it's time to restore your Power."
Chen Qingdi complained internally but didn't dare say anything aloud.
Just then, he felt his Power beginning to fade away again. He pleaded with Fang, "I need more time to recover my Power."
"You can have an extra hour," Fang said. "If you need more time, you'll have to request it from us. Otherwise, you won't receive any new infusions of Power."
Chen Qingdi cursed inwardly, 'This psycho woman is treating me like a slave.' But he still didn't dare let it show, so he could only remain obediently in the operating room.
"Divine Physician Chen, you should know that the Evil God Sect cannot be defeated. Are you still thinking of escaping?" Fang asked Chen Qingdi.
"I suppose I don't have a chance to escape, do I? After all, you control my Power completely. I might as well be realistic," Chen Qingdi replied.
"My Power has returned," Chen Qingdi said. "But I don't understand why it suddenly vanishes. How do you do that?"
"Because you are under the control of the Evil God Sect," Fang said. "You'll need to serve us for a while before you can leave this deserted island."
Chen Qingdi was seething with rage, but on the surface, he remained completely obedient. He knew he had to stay calm to leave this place safely.
He began to think about how he could escape the island, but for now, there seemed to be no opportunity. His only choice was to continue pretending to serve the Evil God Sect and wait for his chance.
On the deserted island, Chen Qingdi and Fang engaged in a fierce argument over the antidote for the Demon Flower Strange Heart Insect.
Chen Qingdi sat on the beach, looking at Fang, his heart filled with helplessness. He understood his situation clearly: his Inner Strength was under their control, and he couldn't escape the island. He needed that antidote to restore his Inner Strength, but Fang refused to give it to him.
"Fang, I know the Evil God Sect doesn't fully trust me yet," Chen Qingdi began. "But I can promise you, I absolutely will not try to escape. I need that antidote to recover my Inner Strength so I can better serve the Evil God Sect."
Fang shook her head. "Mr. Chen, it's not that we don't trust you, but this rule cannot be broken. We will only give you the antidote when we require your medical services. This is for our own safety. I hope you can understand."
Hearing this, Chen Qingdi felt a surge of anger. "This is completely unreasonable! I'm a person, not an animal! You should trust me, not treat me like a prisoner!"
Fang glanced at him coolly. "Mr. Chen, I understand how you feel. But this is for the good of the entire Evil God Sect. I hope you can understand."
Chen Qingdi was too furious to speak for a moment. "Understand? How am I supposed to understand? My Inner Strength is being controlled, I can't escape this island, and you still refuse to give me the antidote! How am I supposed to understand that?"
Fang sighed. "Mr. Chen, I know your situation is difficult. But please believe us, we are doing this for your own good as well. If you recover your Inner Strength, you will be able to serve the Evil God Sect better."
Chen Qingdi didn't want to hear any more of her excuses. "I don't need to listen to your sweet talk! What I want is the antidote! Do you understand?"
Fang gave him an indifferent look. "Mr. Chen, I suggest you calm down. We will definitely give you the antidote, but now is not the time. When we need you, we will naturally give it to you."
Chen Qingdi roared in fury, "I need that antidote! If you won't give it to me, I'll find it myself!" He stood up, preparing to leave.
Fang glanced at him coolly. "Mr. Chen, if you want to look for the antidote, be my guest. But please remember, this island is full of dangers." Though her words weren't explicit, Chen Qingdi could feel the threat behind them. He stopped in his tracks and turned back to look at Fang. "Are... are you threatening me?"
Fang shook her head. "Mr. Chen, you've misunderstood. I'm merely reminding you that there are many dangers on this island. If you were to accidentally wander into one of those dangerous places, something terrible could happen." Her voice was calm, but her words sent a chill through Chen Qingdi's heart. He swore to himself that he would find a way to get that antidote and leave this deserted island.
Chen Qingdi shot Fang a furious glare. "I get it! This is how you're going to treat me! Fine! I'll wait! I'll wait until you need me! I refuse to believe you'll treat me like a prisoner forever!" He spun around and strode away.
Fang watched his back disappear into the jungle and gave a faint smile. "Mr. Chen, I hope you can understand our difficult position." She turned and walked toward the sea.
Morning on the deserted island. Sunlight spilled across the golden sand as gentle waves lapped at the shore, as if narrating the day's prelude.
However, beneath this peaceful facade, an undercurrent was surging. The island's administrators, Fang and Zi, arrived with a group of Evil God Sect guards, shattering the island's tranquility.
"Chen Qingdi, this time, will you save them or not?" Fang's tone was resolute.
Chen Qingdi sat in front of a thatched hut, his head bowed as he mended some tattered clothes. Hearing Fang's words, he replied faintly, "I'm no longer the Chen Qingdi who could save people. I'm practically a cripple now. Don't you know that?"
"You're still dwelling on what happened before," Zi said, noticing his hesitation. "But the people on the island are waiting for you. The members of the Evil God Sect have arrived, and they need your help."
Chen Qingdi looked up at Fang and Zi and sighed. "Why must you do this? I'm already a prisoner. My Inner Strength is long gone."
