Douluo: The Op-Op Fruit, skilled at researching them

Chapter 17, Section 17: Performing Surgery on Xiao Wu's Body

"So white..."

Looking at Xiao Wu, who was standing awkwardly in front of him, Luo exclaimed in surprise. He then forced his gaze away from the stingy tiger skin and looked at Xiao Wu, whose cheeks were flushed.

Although Xiao Wu was very shy inside, and her large, wine-red eyes were faintly filled with tears, she still forced herself to appear calm and explained:

"Didn't you say you were going to use your domain abilities to remove the 'impurities' from my body? I don't even know where those things are in my body, so I might as well take off all my clothes and let you study them as you please!"

"Ah, this..." Luo was deeply shocked!

"Oh! I'm a girl and I don't care about these things, what do you care about! Hurry up and do the surgery!" Xiao Wu stomped her foot and said coquettishly.

At this moment, Luo hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually... I sensed that all those 'impurities' you mentioned were concentrated in your heart area. So... you don't need to take off all your clothes, just your upper body clothes are enough..."

Luo raised his gaze from below, gradually moving upwards until it finally settled on Xiao Wu's eyes.

After hearing what Luo had just said, Xiao Wu's already slightly rosy cheeks seemed to be set ablaze, instantly turning as red as a ripe apple, almost dripping blood, like a boiling teapot with wisps of white steam rising from her head.

"...I don't care anymore, you can do whatever you want to me!"

Extremely shy, Xiao Wu finally couldn't help but scream. She then closed her eyes tightly and quickly turned her head away, as if she was afraid that if she looked at Luo again, she would suddenly explode.

At this moment, her hands were clenched into fists, her knuckles turning white with nervousness, and her body, as white as mutton fat jade, trembled slightly with shyness and unease. Her crystal-clear skin glowed faintly with a rosy light due to the low temperature in the room.

Seeing this, Luo quickly took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart. He swallowed involuntarily, and slowly extended his right hand, his fingertips trembling slightly, finally settling into a tiger claw-like gesture, aimed at Xiao Wu's slightly protruding chest.

The air seemed to freeze, and even breathing became heavy and slow.

"ROOM: The Scalpel!"

Luo groaned softly, and suddenly stretched out his right hand, pressing it against Xiao Wu's heart. The hot yet warm touch stirred ripples in his heart.

However, before Law could fully savor the feeling, he quickly activated the power of the Op-Op Fruit. A tiny but incredibly precise flash of light appeared, and Xiao Wu's heart was gently extracted by him.

However, in that instant, Xiao Wu's body seemed to lose all support, she instantly lost consciousness, and her body slumped backward.

Luo reacted quickly, extending his other arm to catch Xiao Wu and prevent her from falling to the ground. He then gently helped her onto the bed.

At this very moment, in Luo's right hand, a heart, as if tightly wrapped in a transparent, gelatinous cube, was beating powerfully.

Luo's gaze was fixed on the heart, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.

…………

Time passed slowly until a soft groan broke the silence in the room.

Xiao Wu slowly opened her heavy eyelids and finally woke up from her coma.

"Um...did I...faint?" As she gradually regained consciousness, Xiao Wu couldn't help but feel a little confused.

She tried hard to recall what had happened, but her mind was a blur. She only remembered that after Luo placed his hand on her chest, she couldn't remember anything else.

Suddenly, Xiao Wu's gaze fell on Luo, who was intently staring at the object in his hand.

Between Luo Xiu's long fingers, a crystal-clear left arm bone, emitting a faint pink glow, lay quietly in his palm. Above the left arm bone, a blood-red soul ring slowly rotated, radiating a chilling pressure.

"This is... my 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone..." Xiao Wu's voice trembled with disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Wu discovered that her body had been dressed in neat clothes at some point, and her previously naked skin was now completely covered.

Her face instantly turned bright red, and an indescribable sense of shyness and embarrassment welled up inside her.

Xiao Wu was not stupid, of course. She could easily imagine that during the time she was unconscious, Luo had carefully dressed her.

However, Xiao Wu didn't have time to worry about these details at the moment; she was more concerned about the outcome of the surgery.

Anyway, Luo had already seen her body completely, and even during the time she was unconscious, he might have done something to her, but all of this was within her expectations, and could be said to have been done willingly.

"Was the surgery... a success?" Xiao Wu's voice was filled with urgency and anticipation, her gaze fixed on Luo's face.

The latest novel is first published here!

Upon hearing this, Luo slowly nodded, a look of disbelief in his eyes, as if he was still doubting whether what he had just experienced was real.

"Just now, after I removed your heart from your body, I used my 'Surgical Domain' ability to conduct a thorough and detailed scan, and finally located an extremely solid and enormous mass of soul power inside your heart."

"After that, I cut this massive amount of soul power out of your heart, and finally formed this 100,000-year soul ring in my hands... as well as this 100,000-year left arm bone soul bone."

As he said this, a hint of greed flashed deep in Luo's eyes.

No one could remain unmoved by a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone that were laid out before them and within easy reach!

Then, Luo's gaze fell again on the spirit ring and spirit bone in his hand, his tone carrying a hint of amazement:

"Now, in my surgical field of perception, after I removed your soul ring and soul bone, Xiao Wu, I can no longer sense the soul beast aura on your body."

"As expected! The reason why your true identities were discovered in your childhood after you transformed into human form from 100,000-year-old soul beasts is actually due to the soul beast aura emanating from the soul rings and soul bones hidden within your bodies!"

In his mind, the "impurities" of soul power in Xiao Wu's body were likely her 100,000-year soul bone, but he never expected it to be a combination of a 100,000-year soul ring and a soul bone.

"This... is truly an unexpected bonus..." Luo thought to himself.

I'm at my grandma's house, playing cards with my brothers. Sorry for the late update.
