Regarding Dome's words, none of the onlookers believed them, as Xia Ruoyu's condition clearly could not have been faked.
"Just now it was clearly Lin Chen who saved my sister, are you blind?" Xia Qingqing said angrily.
"Hmph, just now he was just lucky, Western medicine is science, Chinese medicine is nothing but witchcraft, there is no scientific basis at all."
Lin Chen stood up with a smile and said, "That's right, the five thousand years of Chinese civilization indeed have things similar to witchcraft, would you like to try?"
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Dome laughed arrogantly, "Haha, witchcraft, what a joke, don't think you're awesome just because you saved someone, just now you were just lucky. If I treated that girl, I'd do it too, your so-called Chinese civilization is nothing in my eyes."
Then Lin Chen walked over to Dome, smiling and patted Dome's shoulder, "Young man, Chinese civilization is not to be desecrated, you know?"
"Not to be desecrated? Even if I have desecrated it, what can you do to me?" Dome snorted coldly.
However, as soon as his words ended, his complexion suddenly changed, he felt a strange sensation in his body.
Itchy, he felt an unbearably itchy sensation all over his body at this moment.
And this sensation was like a tide that could not be stopped once it came.
At this time, Dome was twisting all over, his face bearing an uncomfortable expression, looking very comical.
It started with just an itch on the shoulders, then it moved to the upper body, arms, belly, and in just a moment, the unbearable itch spread rapidly all over his body.
It was as if countless ants were crawling over him, a feeling that nearly drove him insane.
Dome scratched incessantly at his body with both hands, but the more he scratched, the itchier it became, the sensation growing stronger and stronger.
Now his body was covered in bloody welts from his scratching, but Dome seemed completely unaware.
The feeling of countless bugs crawling over him was almost torturing Dome to madness, his hands even covered in fresh blood.
"So itchy, so itchy, how can this be, kid, what on earth did you do to me?"
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "I haven't done anything, just letting you know the depth of Chinese civilization for five thousand years."
"So uncomfortable, so uncomfortable, quickly stop the itching for me, I can't take it anymore."
Dome's entire body was thrashing about in the compartment, and later on, he even started rolling on the ground.
While rolling, he kept cursing Lin Chen continuously.
Almost everyone was stunned by the scene unfolding before them, deliberately keeping their distance, afraid of being implicated.
Watching Dome's state, Xia Qingqing laughed, "Lin Chen, how did he become ?"
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "How would I know, who knew he would suddenly start rolling on the ground."
Dome's body was already scratched bloody, he gasped for air, "You bastard, you must have poisoned me, give me the antidote now."
"Poisoned, how could that be? Just now you and I had no contact at all, I haven't given you anything to eat, how could I have poisoned you?" Lin Chen shook his head.
Dom couldn't take it anymore; he crawled up to Lin Chen and clutched at Lin Chen's thigh, "Please, I beg of you, save me. I can't stand it anymore."
At this moment, Dom was in a sorry state, no longer retaining his earlier well-mannered appearance.
His clothes were torn, his body was covered in chilling bloodstains, and what was even more unbearable was that he had torn his trousers to shreds.
Lin Chen looked at the pleading Dom and sighed, "It's not that I don't want to help you. I still have some ways to save you, but didn't you just say that our Chinese civilization and Chinese medicine are trash? So, unfortunately, I can't help you."
"No, no, it's not trash. I was wrong, I was wrong. Please, save me!"
Lin Chen helplessly said, "Hey, hey, my stop is coming up, and I'm getting ready to get off. Please move aside."
Hearing that Lin Chen was about to get off, Dom panicked, his soul nearly scattering with fright. Manchester is so big—if Lin Chen really got off the train, where would he find him!
"No, you can't get off the train; I beg you, please cure me." Dom knew that his sudden itching must be related to Lin Chen and also knew that only Lin Chen could help him. If Lin Chen left, he might be tormented to death by this unbearable itching sensation.
He was still young; he wanted to chase after beautiful women and enjoy the glory and wealth of the world, so he did not want to die.
Dom knelt on the ground, begging bitterly, "I was wrong; I will never again disrespect Chinese civilization, and I will never again speak ill of Chinese medicine. Sir, please spare me, I really won't dare to do it again."
"Lin Chen, let's just forget it," Xia Ruoyu said, somewhat unable to bear the sight of Dom in his present wretched state.
Dom was now biting his own arm, oblivious even to the bloodied, mangled flesh.
If it could relieve the itching, he would even be willing to have his arm chopped off right now because the feeling was simply too unbearable.
The train had already arrived at the station when Lin Chen finally said indifferently, "Now do you understand the profundity of China's five-thousand-year civilization? You must realize that Chinese civilization is not something trash like you can insult, understand?"
"I understand; I understand now. Please, hurry and save me; I'm about to itch to death," Dom begged on his knees, pleadingly.
"Do you still dare to disrespect our Chinese civilization?" Lin Chen asked calmly.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare anymore," Dom said, in pain, his face a mess of tears and snot.
Seeing Dom's sincere countenance, Lin Chen finally nodded in satisfaction, "Now that you realize your mistake, you can bear it a little longer. Wait until the sun sets, and then you'll naturally stop itching."
"What? Until the sun sets?" Dom nearly went mad upon hearing Lin Chen's words.
It was only just past three in the afternoon, waiting for sunset would take four or five hours; he would certainly go mad from itching by then.
At this point, Dom could no longer care about his dignity; he clung to Lin Chen's thigh, banging his head against the ground, "Mr. Lin Chen, I truly realize my wrongs; please let me go. From now on, Chinese people will be like my own parents, and I will never again disrespect them."
By then, the train had stopped at the platform. Lin Chen snorted coldly and tossed a pill on the ground, "This is a lesson. If there's a next time, you're surely finished."
Dom nodded repeatedly, grabbed the pill off the ground, and stuffed it into his mouth, feeling as if he was tasting the world's most delicious food.
Xia Qingqing and Xia Ruoyu also got off at this stop. The three of them had just stepped off when Dom, still kneeling on the ground, suddenly shouted excitedly, "It's gone, it's really gone—no more itching!"
Dom looked malevolently at Lin Chen passing by the train window, hate flickering in his eyes, "Bastard, daring to humiliate me ; I, Dom, won't let you get away with it. One day, I'll make sure you suffer even more than I did today, tenfold, a hundredfold!"
Getting to his feet, Dom walked away under the astonished gazes of onlookers, like a beggar in his nearly shredded clothes, heading outside.
