Qingque looked at Takumi with curiosity. Just as she was about to say something, Takumi stood up and said: "Alright, I've had enough fun. Miss Qingque, let's meet again if fate allows. The money I won today—I'll return it to you. I'll take my leave now~!" Since he was already satisfied, Takumi didn't plan to stay any longer. He continued strolling around the Xianzhou, planning to go check on the other Bronya. He handed the money back to Qingque and prepared to leave. "Wait! Don't go just yet! I don't want your money. A loss is a loss. I'm not the kind of person who can't afford to lose." Saying that, Qingque shoved the money Takumi returned back into his hands. She wasn't someone who couldn't accept defeat, so she couldn't take the money. Takumi looked at her amusedly. "This money is useless to me~! So let's leave it at that. We'll meet again if fate permits. Oh, and if you're looking for me, try asking March 7th. My name is Takumi." With those words, Takumi vanished from sight. Qingque was stunned. She stared wide-eyed at where he had disappeared. He wasn't an ordinary person? And he knew March 7th? She quickly took out her phone and messaged March 7th for answers. Before long, March 7th replied, directly revealing Takumi's identity. March 7th: [You met Takumi? He's a Star God!] When Qingque saw this message, she was floored. "What the heck? I played Di Yuan Qiong Yu with a Star God?!" That really blew her mind. She couldn't believe it—Takumi was actually a Star God?! "Damn!! I should've asked for a selfie. That would've been a selfie with a Star God!" Qingque slapped her thigh. She had missed a big opportunity! Takumi, however, had no idea what Qingque was thinking. He had already changed his appearance and was wandering around the Xianzhou again. Along the way, he encountered Qingque's superior, Type-C. After admiring her for a bit, Takumi left. Type-C felt puzzled. She had the distinct feeling someone had been watching her. An illusion? She looked around but didn't see anyone. Must've been her imagination. Shaking it off, she went back to work. Takumi roamed the Xianzhou for a while before teleporting directly to Jarilo. He arrived in the Underworld, where he briefly glanced at Hook and Clara going about their lives, then headed to Natasha's clinic. Sure enough, as soon as he entered, he saw Tingyun lying on a hospital bed. (Sure, let's just write that she got backstabbed. It is what it is.) Tingyun had just been pulled back from the brink of death. Seeing her still unconscious, a smile crept onto Takumi's face. Immediately, he took a picture and posted it. Takumi: [Image] [Look what I found? A sleeping beauty. All she needs is a kiss from me to awaken.] As soon as he shared Tingyun's condition in the group chat, chaos erupted. Sagiri: [Miss Tingyun!!] Chika Fujiwara: [You actually found her?] What the—Takumi really found Tingyun? Himeko: [That's amazing news. I'm going to tell little March and the others!!] Himeko was equally shocked and delighted. This was huge. If March 7th and the others found out, they'd be ecstatic. With that thought, Himeko immediately went to inform March 7th and the others. Meanwhile, Takumi stood beside Tingyun. Just then, Natasha walked in, holding several bottles of medicine. "Hm?" Seeing someone inside, Natasha furrowed her brows. When did he come in? "Hello, Doctor Natasha. I'll leave Tingyun in your care." Hearing this, Natasha was momentarily stunned. "You know her?" When Takumi said Tingyun's name, Natasha was surprised. "Of course I do. I came here specifically for her. Sorry for coming uninvited." With that, Takumi reached out and placed his hand over Tingyun's. In the next instant, a radiant light burst forth from his palm. Natasha was stunned by what she saw. What was this? And then—she was utterly shocked. Tingyun's condition visibly improved at a rapid pace. "Wh-What is this power?!" Natasha was shocked. She knew exactly how severe Tingyun's injuries were. Even with her path of Abundance, she couldn't fully heal her—only provide gradual recovery. But now? Takumi had effortlessly healed her. The kind of recovery she was witnessing could easily be mistaken for the work of the Abundance Star God. But if that really were the case, then the Hunt Star God would likely have fired off a divine arrow by now. The entire planet would be in danger. "Abundance's Desire—taste my arrow of purification." That wasn't a joke. But if it wasn't Abundance, then what kind of power was this? He had healed the fox-girl so easily? As Takumi finished treating Tingyun, Natasha's phone suddenly rang. Seeing who was calling, she paused. March 7th? Though puzzled, Natasha still picked up. A moment later, March 7th's face appeared on the screen. "Natasha, is Takumi with you? And Tingyun!!" Natasha was now even more confused. "Takumi? Tingyun? You know them?" Tingyun—was that the girl lying in the bed? And the man was named Takumi? So they were March 7th's acquaintances? What a coincidence. March 7th looked visibly emotional on screen. When she heard the news from Himeko, she nearly cried. Tingyun was still alive!! After checking the group chat, Himeko also realized they were likely at Natasha's clinic. March 7th, who knew Natasha, wasted no time calling her. Thus, this scene unfolded. "Of course I know them!!" "Natasha, how's Tingyun doing? Is she alright?" March 7th was visibly worried. Natasha then brought her phone closer to Takumi and Tingyun. "She seems to be doing quite well." She smiled as she looked at Tingyun's recovering form. Her condition was dire before, and now it was the complete opposite. "March 7th, you already know? Want to come over? I can open the door for you." Takumi looked at the worried March 7th and chuckled. At this point, the treatment was already complete.
