Chapter 28: Chapter 28

Guan Qingxue looked coldly at the middle-aged doctor, then at Divine Doctor Mo, and finally back at her unconscious brother. Without a second thought, she said, "Fine! I agree to your terms, as long as you can cure my brother’s mysterious illness, I will pay for all medical expenses! And I will kneel to apologize to him!"

"Come with me!" Dropping those words, Divine Doctor Mo tossed his sleeve and strode towards the next room.

Divine Doctor Mo pointed to an oversized bed and said, "Lay him on the bed."

With a wave of her hand, Guan Qingxue motioned for the middle-aged woman to place the unconscious young man on the oversized bed.

"You stay, everyone else leave," Divine Doctor Mo commanded.

"Wait for me outside!" Guan Qingxue ordered in a cold voice. Orıginal content can be found at noveⅼfire.net

"Yes, Boss!" The middle-aged woman and the bodyguard responded and walked out coldly.

In the room, only Divine Doctor Mo and the three of them remained.

Seeing that everyone had left, Divine Doctor Mo wasted no time, walking to the side of the unconscious young man, carefully examining his condition from across the bed.

After a while, Divine Doctor Mo’s expression became increasingly grave and distressed.

He sat down in a chair next to the bed, gripping the young man’s left hand, checking his pulse with a serious demeanor.

"How is it? What’s exactly wrong with my brother?" After a moment, seeing Divine Doctor Mo still silent, Guan Qingxue couldn’t help but frown and asked urgently.

"Your brother’s condition is indeed bizarre! Although everything seems normal, I can’t detect any pulse! What’s even stranger is that I sense a malicious aura coming from his body!"

At this point, Divine Doctor Mo shook his head and got up, facing Guan Qingxue’s icy gaze, he uttered with shame, "I am truly sorry! My medical skills are too shallow, please forgive my inability to help. You should seek out someone more capable."

"What did you say? Dare to say that again! If you don’t cure my brother’s mysterious disease tonight, I will destroy this wretched medical clinic!" Guan Qingxue said fiercely, her face turning frigid with murderous intent.

As the words left her mouth, the tightly shut room door was violently kicked open from the outside. The two imposing and fierce-looking bodyguards, along with the middle-aged woman, stormed in with a deadly aura, surrounding Divine Doctor Mo.

"What do you think you’re doing? Soft approach didn’t work, so you decide to get tough?" Divine Doctor Mo demanded with a stern and displeased face.

"I agreed to your demand, and since you can’t fulfill it, since you can’t cure my brother! Tonight, I will dismantle this medical clinic! When Guan Qingxue gives her word, she never goes back on it! Start smashing!" Guan Qingxue’s gaze turned icy as she ordered coldly.

Following her command, the two menacing bodyguards picked up chairs in the room in a crude and simple fashion, ready to start demolishing the place.

"Wait a moment!" Seeing this, Divine Doctor Mo quickly spoke up.

"What more do you have to say?" Guan Qingxue asked, her face cold as ice.

"Although I am unable to treat the strange illness plaguing your brother, there is someone who indeed can, if only he is willing to do so!" Divine Doctor Mo said proudly, puffing out his chest.

"Who is this person? Take me to him right away!" Guan Qingxue pressed urgently.

"I’m not bragging, but in the entire world, there are few whose medical skills surpass mine, and you could count them on one hand! However, you wouldn’t be able to find them, and neither could I! But compared to my master, Nine Heavens Xuan Nu, I’m not bragging when I say that they are merely like children who have just learned to walk!" Divine Doctor Mo boasted with pride.

If Zhang Xiaohao were here, he would have sprayed him in the face. Can’t you be more modest? Who is your master? Did I agree to take you as my disciple?

"Where’s your master? Take me to him, now!" Guan Qingxue’s eyes lit up as she spoke.

"My master has a very capricious temperament. Even if I take you to him now, given his lazy personality, he won’t lift a finger to help. How about this, let’s go early tomorrow morning, and I will take you to see him," said Divine Doctor Mo.

"Okay!" Guan Qingxue nodded, agreeing to the plan.

What Divine Doctor Mo didn’t know was, luckily, he didn’t bring Guan Qingxue and the others to seek out Zhang Xiaohao right then. If he had disturbed Zhang Xiaohao’s cultivation with Guan Qingxue and the group at that moment, it wouldn’t matter if she was even the Nine Heavens Xuan Nu herself descending from the heavens; she too would suffer the consequences!

The night passed without incident, spent in cultivation.

The next day, as the dawn’s morning sun rose, Zhang Xiaohao had already woken up and finished his cultivation. He stood up from the bed, shook his head, and said, "It’s been six years, and I still can’t take that step! It seems I’ll have to wait until I obtain that two-thousand-year-old ginseng to possibly break through!"

Putting aside his feelings of disappointment, he suddenly felt an urgent need to relieve himself after not urinating all night.

Without a second thought, he headed straight for the next room. As for the house rules he had agreed on with Cheng Tianxue, he had long forgotten where he put them.

"Eh! Why is the door locked? Wasn’t the lock broken?" mumbled Zhang Xiaohao as he inadvertently pushed the firmly shut door open with force.

A chair fell to the ground, and Zhang Xiaohao quickly rushed past it, heading straight for the bathroom—he simply couldn’t hold it in any longer.

As soon as he opened the bathroom door, Zhang Xiaohao froze.

What he saw was a stretch of pale, bare skin, with the dark area beneath embarrassing to behold, standing awkwardly on the floor, a hand reaching to lock the bathroom door. The motion stopped mid-air.

"Ah! Zhang Xiaohao, you jerk! Who let you in here? Get out right now!" Coming back to her senses, Cheng Tianxue was nearly exploding with anger as she roared furiously.

"But, but Xue’er, you have to believe me! I didn’t do it on purpose, I swear I’m not lying to you! I just really needed to pee," said Zhang Xiaohao, awkwardly.

"Get out, right now, or I’ll fight you!" Cheng Tianxue clenched her teeth fiercely and screamed in rage.

"Xue’er, don’t be mad, I’m leaving right now!" With those words, Zhang Xiaohao quickly retreated.

With a bang, the bathroom door shut again, followed by the crisp sound of it being locked from the inside.

Standing outside the bathroom, Zhang Xiaohao touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "I really didn’t mean to do it, why won’t you believe me?"

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he noticed the blood on his finger and said in disbelief, "I haven’t been eating anything good lately, just steamed buns and pickles. Why the nosebleeds so often? Could it be that my inner heat is too intense?"

Shaking his head, Zhang Xiaohao casually took a red cloth from Cheng Tianxue’s bedroom to wipe the blood from his nose and thoughtlessly threw the cloth onto the floor before walking out.

No sooner had Zhang Xiaohao left than Cheng Tianxue burst out of the bathroom. She was just about to look for the oversized scissors under her pillow when she saw her red lace underwear thrown on the ground. Picking it up, she noticed the fresh bloodstain on it.

"Zhang Xiaohao, you bastard! Come out here if you dare; I’m going to kill you!"
