CHAPTER 342: CHAPTER 322: THE PANIC CAUSED BY LUO PING AND SHU

Lu Xi’an waited for a while for Luo Ping, hoping Luo Ping would regain his composure before going back.

However, Luo Ping couldn’t pull himself together despite trying for a long time. Although he was no longer crying, his eyes remained red and wouldn’t return to their normal color.

Lu Xi’an even lent the Fungus Stone to Luo Ping, but it didn’t work. It seemed this wasn’t an illness that the Fungus Stone could heal.

"Forget it, let’s go."

After quite a while, Luo Ping sighed and resignedly said, "It’s just crying. What’s so shameful about that?"

Lu Xi’an laughed and said, "Exactly, ’Men crying is not a crime,’ it’s nothing big."

Luo Ping laughed too, "Men crying is not a crime? Hahaha, you’re quite the talker. Well said!"

But when they returned to the crowd, and everyone gazed at his face, Luo Ping sighed and said, "Ah, urinary stones, it hurts a bit, and I couldn’t hold back the tears. There’s nothing I could do about it.

"Men tend to get these small ailments as they age."

Lu Xi’an: "..."

Bottle, who was also a B-type Neo-Human like Luo Ping, widened his eyes in horror, "Mr. Luo, are you talking about the one from the movies?!"

Luo Ping feigned a look and said, "Yes, that’s the one, ouch—it hurts!"

Coming with Luo Ping, Tang Er, Bottle, and Yao all involuntarily sucked in a breath, looking at Luo Ping with concern, hard to shake off the worry that they might end up like him someday.

Lu Shou and Tang, however, were somewhat perplexed.

Tang asked, "What are urinary stones? What is it, is it really that painful?"

Since he wasn’t at the 923 Base, he naturally hadn’t seen the videos Lu Xi’an left behind, so he had no clue what this was.

Bottle explained, "It’s when there are stones in the urine, blocking the urethra. The stones are so big that when they come out, it hurts like hell.

"Moreover, it hurts when they come out, and it hurts when they don’t, it’s an agony to hold back. Just think about how big the urethra is? How does it feel with a stone stuck in there?

"We had someone who had it before, and he told us all about it.

"He said that as men get older, they’re more prone to this, and advised us to be careful."

When Bottle finished, Lu Xi’an noticed that not only did Lu Shou and Tang turn pale, but even the regular folks sitting on the sidelines or further away did as well.

Clearly, Bottle’s words struck fear into many of the men here.

Lu Xi’an’s mouth twitched.

Who would’ve thought that Shu, far away, and Luo Ping right in front were collaborating remotely to orchestrate a grand play, throwing so many men into panic.

Luo Ping would have been better off admitting that he cried because he missed his teacher.

Normally for grown men, this kind of urological problem is the hardest to talk about. How come for Luo Ping, admitting emotional tears was more embarrassing?

Fortunately, Luo Ping knew not to let this topic impact everyone’s mood. Seeing everyone’s frightful expressions, he said:

"Alright, alright, no need to be that scared. Actually, this thing just hurts a bit, nothing serious.

"Besides, it was because I was too occupied with other things and didn’t exercise properly, that’s how it happened.

"Didn’t Shu say as long as you exercise regularly and watch your diet, generally, people will be fine?"

Only then did everyone breathe a collective sigh of relief.

Lu Xi’an said, "Alright, it’s getting late, everyone hurry up and rest.

"We’ve been busy all day without much exercise. Starting tomorrow, everyone needs to train well, to prepare for the battle in a month or so."

Luo Ping laughed and said, "Big brother, you’re mistaken. We haven’t slacked off in our training during this time.

"Even on our journey here these past two days, we’ve been practicing every morning diligently.

"Before we set off this morning, we trained as well.

"In a little over a month, we’ll be facing a major battle, we don’t dare to be the least bit complacent."

Lu Xi’an laughed and said, "I was mistaken, I apologize. Everyone, I’m sorry."

Luo Ping and everyone else laughed and said it was alright, no problem.

Lu Shou quietly watched from the side, seeing everyone getting along so well, he looked at Lu Xi’an, thinking he learned something new: admitting mistakes doesn’t affect one’s authority.

— He could tell that although everyone was laughing and saying no problem to Lu Xi’an, they still held him in high esteem.

Lu Xi’an then said again, let’s disperse, go rest, so everyone obediently listened and each found a spot to rest.

Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei called Chai Xin to sleep in the RV. Chai Xin still slept on the sofa, but even so, the environment was much better than others.

Chai Xin had grown even taller. Ever since becoming a Neo-Human, this girl grew increasingly fast, partly because her back gradually straightened, and partly due to becoming a Neo-Human.

The Neo-Human physique visibly transformed her appearance at a rapid pace, not just her, but Liu Hua, Tang Er, and the others as well.

After some time apart, these people who had become Neo-Humans had changed significantly, to the point it was hard to recognize them at first glance.

Lu Xi’an, Yao Wei, and Chai Xin talked for a while on the RV before slowly falling asleep.

Before sleeping, Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei could hear many people in the Healing Village were still awake, whispering.
