Chapter 358: Chapter 358: Hanhan, I’ve Been Fined!
Zhao Tianfang’s face was ashen, his hands clenched tightly into fists.
That was also the conclusion multiple doctors had given him, even though his cultivation had reached the Golden Core Stage, he couldn’t withstand the ice-cold giant snake’s venom. When night fell, he would feel as if he had plunged into an ice cellar, unable to sleep throughout the night.
His visit to Haicheng this time was to seek an audience with the National Medical Saint, Old Liu Zhen, having heard of his “Thirteen Spirit Needles” technique and wondering if he could lend a hand.
Zhao Tianfang’s gaze on Bai Chuwei gradually brightened, and he urgently asked, “Young lady, are you a medical practitioner?”
Even the National Medical Saint Liu Zhen wouldn’t be able to diagnose his condition without taking his pulse. Bai Chuwei hadn’t even gotten close to him; how could she know?
With a smile brimming in her eyes, Bai Chuwei looked at him, her pupils clear, and her red lips lightly uttered two words, “Beg me.”
Xiao Yi was shocked and blurted out, “Bai Chuwei, don’t be too presumptuous!”
He was a Golden Core Stage bigwig, yet she was asking for him to beg her?
This young lady was truly ignorant of the world’s ways.
Bai Chuwei shrugged nonchalantly. She had said it before—cure if willing, otherwise be gone; her venerable ancestor had plenty of patients queuing up for treatment.
Alas, given the current spiritual energy environment in China, it was not easy to have a cultivator reach even the early stages of Golden Core.
Footsteps came from outside the door as a member of the Unnatural Management Bureau knocked and entered, saying, “Senior Zhao, Boss Zhou, Mr. Duan Feihan has arrived, saying he’s here to pick up Miss Bai Chuwei.”
Bai Chuwei was somewhat surprised. Had Duan Feihan arrived so quickly? Surely he hadn’t sped here in a car?
Bai Chuwei stood up straightaway, stretching her neck lazily, and out of the corner of her eye, she spied Zhao Tianfang, whose expression was uncertain. A glint flashed in her eyes, and her lips curved into a lingering, meaningful smile.
If Xue Qiu were here, it would have howled, ‘The venerable ancestor is going to scam someone again.’
Bai Chuwei dug into her pocket, took out a glass vial, and tossed it to Zhao Tianfang, saying indifferently, “If you feel you’re about to die, swallow this Resurrection Pill. It’ll keep you from seeing the Lord King of Hell underground for one more day.”
Zhao Tianfang: “You—” Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel✶fire.net
Bai Chuwei walked towards the door, “Don’t beg me now; the terms won’t be so simple next time you come looking for me.”
Bai Chuwei made her way to the door, and suddenly behind her came Zhao Tianfang’s voice: “Miss Bai, wait!”
Bai Chuwei curled the corner of her lip, turned her head with interest, and looked at Zhao Tianfang: “Oh?”
It looked like there were still plenty of people eager to seize the opportunity.
Zhao Tianfang, having lived for over one hundred and twenty years and appearing similar to a sixty-year-old due to his many years of cultivation, had never seen such an arrogant young lady before.
Even if this young lady indeed had some skill, how could she demand him to beg her?
In the entire Cultivation World of China, who wouldn’t treat him with the utmost respect when they saw him? Who would dare make him beg?
This young girl was being recklessly audacious to the extreme!
And he didn’t even know what that Resurrection Pill was.
Zhao Tianfang spoke in a deep voice, “Young lady, remember to attend classes daily at the Unnatural Management Bureau starting tomorrow, and do not forget the fine of five hundred thousand.”
Bai Chuwei’s smile froze on her face, and she huffed lightly as she walked towards the exit.
Attend class, my foot, she didn’t even attend school classes.
Pay what fine, she had always been the one to swindle money from others; what did it have to do with her respected ancestor?
Bai Chuwei headed towards the outside, and before she had taken many steps, she saw a man’s tall figure under the moonlight. Suddenly, she quickened her pace and ran towards him, “Hanhan, I’ve been fined!”
