As tensions rose, Flanders sighed and said, "It's getting late; let's wait here one night. If Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu don't turn up by then..."
He trailed off, but everyone knew the unspoken meaning.
Tang San's eyes reddened. Just one night—if Xiao Wu didn't arrive in that time, he would charge into the forest to find her no matter what.
Why wait? Because he clung to a flicker of hope and wanted to restore his strength during that time.
Tang San unconsciously looked at his left hand, a gesture noticed by Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang frowned, suspecting Tang San might act impulsively. Resolving to watch him closely, he recalled his own brutal injury—how his manhood was shattered, forever stripping him of joy and the chance to be with Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong.
Flanders had not forgotten that. With one a friend and the other his disciple, he knew they needed careful examination to assess any chance of recovery.
Before Flanders could speak, Lord Long beside him said firmly, "Since we're safe now, the three of us will leave first. We must gather the third soul ring for Yin in another soul hunting forest."
Flanders knew he couldn't stop them. He smiled reluctantly, "Safe travels, two seniors!"
Mr. Long held Meng Yiran's small hand and fled with the Snake Woman.
Flanders wondered if their main goal was to help Meng Yiran get her third soul ring or simply to leave quickly.
As night fell, the group set up camp nearby. Flanders summoned Yu Xiaogang and Ma Hongjun to be examined by Shao Xin. Though Shao Xin was not a healing soul master, he had some healing ability and vision to judge recovery potential.
"How is it?" Yu Xiaogang and Ma Hongjun anxiously awaited the verdict.
Shao Xin sighed, shaking his head. "It's hopeless. If the injury were a clean break, there might be hope. But your private parts are mangled. The candy beans stopped the bleeding temporarily, but..."
"You'll need surgery as soon as possible!"
The words struck the two men like thunder.
Flanders hurriedly asked, "Shao Xin, what do you mean?"
Shao Xin explained calmly, "Both of your urine outlets are completely blocked. All that remains is useless, necrotic tissue."
"You'll need to have your injuries cut open and cleaned. We'll use a feather or thin stick to create an incision—a common purification method in the palace."
"No! I refuse!" Ma Hongjun protested bitterly, despairing for recovery.
"It's your choice," Shao Xin said seriously. "But without urination, urine will back up, causing two possible horrors: either your parts burst, bringing unbearable pain, or urine backs up into the body, preventing urination and leading inevitably to death."
He spoke earnestly, confessing he didn't fully know what happens if urine flows back but emphasized waste must be expelled.
Ma Hongjun looked helplessly at Flanders. "Teacher, is there truly no other way?"
Flanders shook his head. "Time is short. If you refuse now, later consequences may be beyond saving."
Modern medicine lacked advanced techniques to operate inside the body. Healing relied on soul masters' skills and their medicines.
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth. "Let's do it."
Flanders hesitated at the daunting task ahead.
"Shao Xin, when you operate, be quick. Otherwise, it will torture them," he warned.
Shao Xin pulled four candy beans from his pocket, giving two to each man.
"Teacher Shao Xin, why two each?" Ma Hongjun asked, puzzled.
"You'll see soon," Shao Xin smiled mysteriously, making Yu Xiaogang and Ma Hongjun nervous.
"Who goes first?"
Ma Hongjun scratched his head, wryly smiling, "Teacher, you first. I'm not in a rush."
Though nervous, Yu Xiaogang knew he couldn't hesitate—he hadn't urinated since their escape.
Flanders stepped outside, informing others that noises must be ignored unless urgent.
Yu Xiaogang stripped and lay naked.
Flanders forced himself to suppress nausea as he examined Yu Xiaogang's battered body. He formed a razor-sharp feather between his fingers.
"Ready, Gon?"
"Get ready..." Yu Xiaogang began.
Before he finished, Flanders seized the moment and cut swiftly.
"Quick, Xiaogang! Take the candy beans!"
Yu Xiaogang raised trembling hands, swallowing the pain and the candy beans in agonizing seconds.
Meanwhile, Shao Xin inserted the thin rod with precision.
Thanks to candy beans' effects, the wound healed rapidly.
"Keep that in place for an hour," Shao Xin ordered, wiping sweat from his brow as he turned to Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun's heart pounded—Flanders took advantage of his unpreparedness, chilling him to the bone.
