Chapter 500: Chapter 499: The Young Man in White (Part 1)

May Sloane thought about it, but couldn’t quite figure out what gift to give.

She pouted, "Tiana, you’re seeing your own parents, you should pick the gift yourself."

"Let me think..."

After thinking for a while, "Let’s go shopping."

"Then let’s not overthink it. Once you wake up, focus on filming and try to wrap up early so we can go shopping."

"Okay." Tiana Thorne nodded, gently flicked May’s forehead with her finger, and smiled, "Goodnight."

May rubbed her forehead, a sweet smile on her face, "Hehe, goodnight, sweet dreams~"

After that, the two returned to their rooms.

Tiana lay on her bed, but didn’t fall asleep immediately. Today’s events played out like a movie in her mind, and suddenly she recalled some long-forgotten memories.

She always felt that it was a matter of great importance.

Years ago, when she wanted to experience mortal life, she settled in a small town, thinking about it until she fell asleep, continuing in her dreams.

Everything was going fine until one day, when she saw a group of masked men chasing a young man in white clothes.

She had always held the spirit of a chivalrous heroine, unable to tolerate bullying of the weak by the strong. What kind of heroes gang up on one person?

She quickly chased after them and arrived at a bamboo forest.

The young man was skilled, but unfortunately, the ones chasing him were all death warriors. Gradually, he began to lose ground, and as one of the death warriors rushed toward him with a sword aimed at his heart, she used a pebble to knock the sword away.

She was a fox spirit, and killing mortals would violate divine laws, resulting in punishment—trials were always different.

She wanted to help without causing trouble for herself.

Upon thinking this, she swiftly advanced and used Immortal Technique to immobilize them all.

The young man stuck his sword into the ground to steady himself, turned his head to look at her, somewhat stunned by her remarkable skills, "Miss..."

Miss??

She was old enough to be his grandmother’s grandmother...

"Are you okay?" she asked as she approached him.

The young man took a step back and looked at her warily.

She laughed, "Why are you acting so strange?"

The young man’s nature was aloof. He didn’t want to speak, only lowered his head slightly.

Tiana continued, "You’re bleeding pretty badly. If you don’t treat it immediately, you’ll die."

After saying that, she stepped closer, causing him to take another step back.

This time, the movement pulled at his heart and lungs, causing him such pain that his facial features twisted. If she hadn’t quickly stepped forward to support him, he would have fallen.

He looked at her in shock, "No... Gender propriety..."

"Why bother with all that? You’re almost dead, and you’re still concerned with these nonsensical etiquettes? Would these rituals matter if your life was at stake? If you die, you look only about seventeen or eighteen. Your parents should still be alive, right? What would your relatives do if you were gone?"

After hearing this, the young man no longer resisted contact with her.

Afterward, she took him away from the perilous place and looked ahead at the road, "Hey, should I take you to my home?"

The young man frowned, "No..."

"Why not? Is it your etiquette again?"

"Etiquette cannot be discarded."

"You really should stop caring about that. Once a person dies, everything is gone. Stop talking." With that, Tiana crouched down, lifted him with her arms, and carried him on her back.

The young man was flustered, "Cough, cough, cough, you, you..."

Tiana suddenly found the young man quite interesting and laughed, "Alright, alright, I’m in a good mood today, not only did I save you, but I’ll save you all the way, so stop chirping incessantly."

The young man was astonished by her strength, able to carry a five-foot male.

The astonishment only lasted a moment before he realized she was quite young yet very strong. He sighed deeply, feeling slightly burdened, "How can I, a grown man, be carried by a young lady? It’s so discourteous."

"It’s no big deal, just carry me back when you get the chance." she replied casually.

The young man focused on the road ahead, remembered her words, and murmured, "I will."

Tiana didn’t pay attention.

Later, Tiana placed him on the bed and reached to undo his clothes.

The young man quickly resisted, "Miss, no, no..."

Tiana furrowed her brows, "Why is it ’no’ again?"

"Male and female..."

"Propriety in interaction?" Tiana finished his sentence, saying lazily, "I’m a doctor, and I’m treating you now, which is my duty as a healer. Where does propriety come in? Besides, in our village, there’s even a male midwife. Would they say what you’re saying in the face of a pregnant woman and baby’s lives, leaving them both dead?"

"I..." The young man felt somewhat embarrassed, lowering his eyes.

The young man was quite handsome, among the most good-looking of his era, but unfortunately, he was overly focused on etiquette.

Tiana disregarded his willingness and violently tore open his clothes.

The young man: "..." blushed.

Seeing his reaction, Tiana found him somewhat adorable. She loved cute things and people the most. She smirked, "If you feel really embarrassed, just turn your back to me, and I’ll check the wounds on your back, okay?"

"Okay."

He turned his back to her.

His back was covered with dense whip marks, though healed, the scars were still visible. His body was quite strong, indicating regular exercise.

Tiana lowered her gaze, noticing the fine silk white robe placed by the bedside.

His family background must be quite good, so why had he suffered such a fate and was now being hunted...

While applying medicine to his wounds, she perceives his past and future.

It turns out that he was the child of the emperor and a maid after a brief affair. Unfortunately, the maid was not favored, so he was ignored, living with his mother in the cold palace.

Being a Prince, palace maids dared not neglect him, and his belongings were all in abundance, hence, the fine silk attire on him...

However, there was a sharp-minded eunuch who always stole his things. If he refused, he would whip him.

Truly pitiful.

Oh?

He has the destiny to be an emperor...

Tiana slightly curled her lips and, after applying medicine to his wounds, infused him with immortal energy for rapid recovery.

"Lie on your side and rest," she said afterward.

He turned his head to look at her and asked, "Is this your bed, miss?"

"Yes."

"No..."

"Lie down. You’re my patient now, and I don’t treat people for free. You need to pay me for my medicine, so lying on this bed is fine." She came up with a way to make him quiet.

He nodded, removed a token from his waist, and handed it to her, "This is the most valuable thing I have now. Don’t worry, once I get home and gather my valuables, I’ll surely pay you."

If she didn’t accept it, the young man certainly wouldn’t rest peacefully during his recovery, so she took it, "Alright, lie down."
