The Luckiest Dumb Doctor-Chapter 510 - : Don’t Believe Me? Just Try_1
Chapter 510: Chapter 510: Don’t Believe Me? Just Try_1
A little while later, Lily Zhou had already lost all thought of those concerns.
The underground river gurgled along, fishes leaping from the surface before splashing down, creating large sprays of water.
Time was unknowable within the cave, but outside it likely was day, and the fishes in the water grew more animated.
They danced to the echoes of music within the cave, merrily jumping, bobbing up and down on the surface.
Time passed, and finally, the cave quieted down. The fish too seemed tired of swimming and gathered quietly, jointly resisting the current.
Lily Zhou suddenly snapped to her senses, stood up in a panic, but the movement pulled at her wound, causing her legs to go weak, her body tilting backwards.
...
Just then, a large hand suddenly reached out, grabbing her slender wrist.
“Thank you…”
Lily Zhou said thanks out of reflex, then suddenly her eyes widened with a startled cry, “You… you’re awake?”
Greg Jensen replied somewhat awkwardly, “I can faint again for a while if you prefer.”
Lily Zhou came to her senses, hastily pulled her hand away, wanting to cover her body.
But she used too much force and once again lost her balance.
The large hand reached out once more, this time pulling her straight into an embrace, a warm breath lingering around her ear, “Don’t move, then you won’t see anything.”
“Like this…”
Lily Zhou wanted to say “like this is even worse,” but feeling the warmth of the embrace, she couldn’t bring herself to leave.
She could only bury her head deeply in Greg Jensen’s chest to hide her shyness and panic.
Greg Jensen stroked her long hair, inhaling the fragrance of it, and couldn’t help but look intoxicated.

The two of them stayed quietly like this for quite a while, until Lily Zhou finally calmed down and asked softly, “Are your injuries feeling any better?”
Greg Jensen replied with a mischievous smile, “Definitely a lot better. With you tending me, any wound would heal.”
Lily Zhou’s face turned red again, and she huffed, “Sweet-talking, I don’t know how many girls you’ve deceived.”
“How can you say sweet-talking? I’m very serious, all right?”
Greg Jensen whispered into her ear with a playful smile, “Don’t believe me? Let’s do it again, one more time and you’ll know whether I’m telling the truth or not.”
“Ah, no, you’re still injured.”
“It’s okay, this can speed up the healing.”
“I don’t trust you one bit…”
“Haha, you’ll find out soon enough.”
Lily Zhou didn’t believe at all that such an activity could speed up recovery.
But what she didn’t know was that Greg Jensen was indeed not lying, because every time they engaged in Dual Cultivation, a large amount of True Qi would be generated.
And this True Qi would continuously flow into the limbs, supporting the Divine Dragon Transformation, rapidly repairing the injured parts of the body.
As they went deeper, Greg Jensen’s body was slowly healing, and the realm of the Divine Dragon Transformation was also gradually improving.
Not only did it increase the True Qi, but it also elevated the realm of the Divine Dragon Transformation, which for Greg Jensen was an unexpected delight.
After an unknown period, the two of them stopped once more.
Lily Zhou found Greg Jensen’s spirit indeed seemed much improved, and she couldn’t help but be astounded, saying, “That sort of thing… it really can speed up recovery?”
“Haha, of course.”
Greg Jensen laughed it off, then quickly changed the subject.
He felt conflicted inside; although the two were now together and Lily Zhou wasn’t the fickle type, he still didn’t want to reveal his secret.
Lily Zhou, being understanding, saw that Greg Jensen didn’t elaborate and didn’t probe further. After speaking to him, she bore the pain, carefully stood up, and moved to the side of the fire pit.
Noticing that her clothes had dried, her face lit up with joy, and she quickly picked up her clothes and headed towards a dark corner.
Greg Jensen chuckled and said, “You’ve seen everything already, why be shy now?”
“Hmph, I… I can’t be bothered with you.”
Zhou Jiumei showed a demure little girl attitude, completely lacking her usual efficiency from during the day.
After she carefully dressed, she found a strip of cloth and combed her hair with it, then returned to the fireside and handed a grilled fish to Greg Jensen.
“You should eat some too, you haven’t eaten anything all day.”
“Hmm.”
Greg Jensen smiled as he took the fish and ate the three of them in a few bites.
“Have some water.”
Zhou Jiumei scooped up some river water in her hands and cautiously brought it to Greg Jensen’s mouth for him to drink.
After drinking the water, Greg Jensen’s dry throat felt much better, and he looked up at Zhou Jiumei.
Zhou Jiumei’s clothes were also tattered, and although they were much better than Greg Jensen’s strips of cloth, they still revealed patches of her fair skin.
Feeling Greg Jensen’s invasive gaze, Zhou Jiumei instinctively took two steps back and said warily, “What are you doing, thinking about that sort of thing right after eating?”
“Haha, in this pitch-dark place, if we don’t do something, isn’t it a waste?”
“No, you’re still injured, what if…”
Zhou Jiumei stopped mid-sentence, suddenly remembering that such activities could actually help in recovery, she found herself at a loss for words and coldly huffed, “Still, that’s no excuse!”
After she spoke, she sat down on the other side of the fire and said, “You should focus on recuperating, it will help your injuries heal faster.”
“Haha, when does that kind of thing ever speed up recovery?”
“Spare me, nobody believes you!”
Zhou Jiumei’s face flushed as she turned her head away.
Greg Jensen laughed heartily, no longer teasing her, and began to channel his True Qi to practice the Divine Dragon Transformation.
Since he had cultivated the Divine Dragon Transformation to the fourth level, he felt it was already sufficient and had not practiced it much afterwards.
Now, it seemed that this cultivation technique was truly a life-saving treasure; he needed to practice it more in the future.
Had it not been for the Divine Dragon Transformation protecting him, his life would have really been in danger this time.
The first explosion alone would have torn his body to pieces, not to mention the several blasts that followed.
Seeing Greg Jensen begin to cultivate, Zhou Jiumei picked up the makeshift torch and went down to the river to catch fish.
By the time Greg Jensen finished cultivating, the fragrant grilled fish was ready.
After eating their fill, while Zhou Jiumei was not paying attention, Greg Jensen successfully staged a surprise attack, and so…
In the following days, whenever Greg Jensen got the chance, he would pull Zhou Jiumei over for some affection.
Zhou Jiumei initially resisted a bit, but later became accustomed to it, as there was nothing else to do in the cave anyway.
This was perhaps the only joy the two of them had.
Within the cave, unaware of the passing days, by the time Greg Jensen could walk with ease, many days had likely passed.
The two made their way downstream along the underground river and soon noticed a glimmer of light coming from ahead.
It wasn’t until they walked out of the cave’s mouth that they found a small waterfall ahead, with a small pool below, a drop of only about twenty or so meters.
Such a height would naturally pose some difficulty for Zhou Jiumei, but for Greg Jensen, it was hardly an issue at all.
He picked up Zhou Jiumei and leaped down, causing her to let out an involuntary scream.
Just as they were about to land, a gust of wind blew their way, their descent suddenly slowing.
Afterward, as if defying the laws of physics, Greg Jensen floated forward a distance, successfully avoiding the pool below.
