Chen Xiaomiao seemed to already see the scene of Fang Yue being driven out of the village by the villagers, and she felt extremely smug.

Just then, Physician An arrived in front of the three of them.

"Physician, Physician An! Take a look at this guy, this is the guy who made me like this! Waaah! You must stand up for me!"

As she spoke, Chen Xiaomiao immediately burst into tears, appearing delicate and pitiful.

Fang Yue was expressionless: ...

I think I know who Lin Ling learned that sarcastic tone from.

Niu Niu's expression was dull, drooling: "Wai bi wai bi wai bi ba bu."

Physician An: "..."

Three grown men, two silent, one drooling and uttering incomprehensible words, just stood there awkwardly for a moment.

Under Chen Xiaomiao's expectant gaze... a slap suddenly struck her right cheek.

*Smack!*

A crisp sound rang out, leaving a faint red mark.

Chen Xiaomiao covered her face in shock and looked at Physician An.

"Phy... Physician An?! What do you mean by this? I am your..."

*Smack!*

Another slap came, hitting her left cheek.

Chen Xiaomiao immediately shut up. She glared at Physician An angrily, only to see Physician An cupping his hands towards Fang Yue.

"Yeye, my experiment has troubled you..."

Yeye? Trouble?

This?!

They... they know each other? And that man's status is even higher than this so-called physician?

That can't be right, didn't this physician say that there are very few people in the entire Guyue Village who dare to disrespect him?

Was I fooled? I was actually fooled by such a physician?

How infuriating!!

She glared at Physician An hatefully, unaware that Fang Yue in front of her was one of the few people whom Physician An couldn't easily suppress.

Just kidding, how could Physician An offend someone so valued by Lord Han, and also his benefactor?

"It's alright, just discipline her more. Her mouth is rather foul, remember to teach her some elegant local language, and not be so sarcastic and spew venom at every turn."

"Yes, yes, yes, I guarantee I'll educate her well!"

"Mm, that's good. I'm doing this for her own good, otherwise, with the way she talks, she'd be killed on the spot if she ran into any of the guards."

Hmph! How could that be! Do you think everyone is as intolerant as you?

Seeming to see through Chen Xiaomiao's thoughts, Fang Yue said indifferently, "Recently, so many refugees have suddenly poured in, and my guards have had many conflicts with them. It wouldn't be good if they accidentally killed Physician An's experiment."

"Yeye, don't worry, I have a way to manage my experiments and will definitely not let them clash with the village guards."

"That's good then."

Listening to their conversation, Chen Xiaomiao gradually came to her senses.

"Wait! You, you you, you just said that the guards are under you? They are your subordinates? Just what kind of person are you?"

Fang Yue glanced at her and said indifferently, "Nothing much, just barely holding the position of Deputy Captain of the Guard, while also taking on the duties of the Captain."

Deputy Captain?! And also taking on the duties of the Captain?

This, this this this, this guy's background is so big?!

Chen Xiaomiao was dumbfounded. She still remembered her previous character, who had a mental breakdown from the beautiful words of a certain Deputy Captain and killed himself.

And at that time, she was powerless to resist, it was so frustrating.

But now, she has created a new character again, and has offended a Deputy Captain again? And this Deputy Captain seems to have a very strong background...

It can't be that unlucky, right? This guy won't make things difficult for me, will he?

Chen Xiaomiao felt a little apprehensive, and gave Fang Yue a flattering smile, which Fang Yue ignored.

"By the way, Physician An, I saw you coming with such a fierce look on your face just now, is there something wrong?"

"No, nothing! Hahaha, how could there be anything wrong, I was just walking with the wind, walking fast, Yeye, you misunderstood."

Physician An quickly laughed it off, he didn't want to anger Fang Yue, this walking At.

Fang Yue: ...

Okay, it seems like the doctor-patient relationship is quite strained.

"Ahem!"

Clearing his throat, Fang Yue said, "Um, Physician An, I think Niu Niu doesn't seem to like this very much, at least you have to let him speak normally, right?"

"Aba aba!"

Physician An looked puzzled.

"Speak normally? Why? Isn't it good the way he is now?"

"...Maybe, not so good."

"How do you know? Are you a fish? If you're not a fish, how do you know if the fish is not happy! If you're not him, how do you know he's not satisfied with his current appearance?"

...Bro, even though I'm not him, he can send me messages!

Fang Yue's face darkened: "Physician An, we refugees have our own way of communicating, don't worry about how I know, anyway, he's uncomfortable, he wants to speak normally."

"Wai bi wai bi wai bi ba bu!"

Niu Niu shouted with a silly expression and drool, expressing his agreement.

Physician An looked suspicious: "Really? Then since you can communicate normally, what's the point of talking?"

Seriously, Physician An, why are there so many problems with restoring Niu Niu's normal speaking ability.

A little impatient, Fang Yue's tone became slightly heavier.

"Physician An, don't worry about so much, just restore Niu Niu's normal speaking ability."

"...Yeye, since you've said this, then I won't hide it from you—I can't do it."

"Wha..."

Fang Yue was stunned.

"You can't do it?"

"Yes, my special pill has already destroyed his vocal cords and damaged his vocal organs. He can't make any other sounds except for talking like this."
