A Clash of Gods - Chapter 107

Chapter 107 The Blood Pill
Yang Ning asked with disappointment, “Even you can’t help me solve this problem, Miss Tang?”

Tang Nuo pondered for a while before replying, “It’s not that I have no way, but it would take much time. I am afraid that you can hardly recover before three or five months.”

Yang Ning thought even Tang Nuo, a medical expert needed a few months, and it could be seen that the vital energy in his pubic region was really a big problem.

But if Tang Nuo could really solve this problem, it didn’t matter whether it would take three or five months. However, should he stay here for several months?

Tang Nuo had walked out, and Yang Ning followed her out. It was dark and the moon was in the east sky. It was quiet around, and Nao and the others couldn’t be seen.

The garden was in a mess, and most of the plants had been destroyed. Tang Nuo frowned but didn’t stop. She walked to the pond in the front. Yang Ning finally remembered that there was one person in the pond. They approached it and saw a dead body floating on the water surface, which was the burly man.

Yang Ning furrowed his brows and guessed that if nothing else, before the demon girl Nao left, she must have vented her anger on this man.

But Tang Nuo sighed. Yang Ning couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Tang, you seem to be familiar with that demon girl?”

Tang Nuo answered gloomily, “She was not like this in the past. She has become like this and it is not all her fault.”

Yang Ning stated, “By the way, Miss Tang, you live in the valley, and it’s remote here. How can you promote your medical skills? In my opinion, walking ten thousand miles is better than reading ten thousand books. You just study herbs here and don’t cure patients in person, so you won’t promote your skills quickly.”

Tang Nuo glanced at him and asked, “Do you mean that I shouldn’t stay in the valley?”

Yang Ning replied, “I didn’t mean that. Your medical skills are certainly superb. If you just like it and want to be at leisure in the valley, I have nothing to say, but… Miss Tang, please forgive me if I am straightforward. You know that doctors are like parents. You have such excellent medical skills, so you should cure patients’ diseases and injuries. Learning in order to practice, and then you can make the best use of your skills. Otherwise, what’s the point even if you are the number one miracle-working doctor in the world?”

Tang Nuo knitted her beautiful brows and soon softened slowly. “I didn’t say that I won’t cure patients’ diseases. If I see a patient, I will cure him.”

“Lady, you have a good intention. Today I have seen that you are really kind-hearted. No matter who comes, you will help them regardless of their positions.” Yang Ning sighed with emotion. “But you are in the valley. I am afraid that nobody would come even in ten days or half a month. If you live in somewhere else, you can cure many patients every day.” He paused for a while and then added, “Then you can help others, and you will make much progress in medical skills.”

At this time, he suddenly felt the light behind. Both of them turned around to have a look, to see that the three thatched cottages were on fire. The fire was not big, but there were many fire spots flashing in the rooms and on the roofs.

Yang Ning expressed automatically, “Oh no. It’s the demon girl. They haven’t left here yet.”

He grabbed the Cold Blade and ran over. Three thatched cottages were made of grass and wood, and it was late autumn in the dry weather, so it was easy to burn. Yang Ning rushed there, but the fire in the cottages spread quickly.

He got anxious. This was Tang Nuo’s residence. If it was burnt, it was impossible to build a new room in a short period, and Tang Nuo would probably be homeless and live in the wilderness. Although a pond was in the front, there was no bucket to take out the water. He rushed into the room and saw that everywhere was burning with rising flames and heavy smoke. He covered his nose and knew that only he and Tang Nuo couldn’t stop the fire from spreading.

Seeing the box with silver needles on the table, he didn’t hesitate to hold it and get out quickly. Then he saw that Tang Nuo was standing not far away from the door and looking at the burning cottages in silence. She looked calm and didn’t plan to put out the fire. Bai Ling appeared from nowhere and grabbed her trousers with one claw while pointing at the burning rooms with the other. It chirped and seemed to describe what it had seen.

“Miss Tang.” Yang Ning gave the needle box to Tang Nuo. “Put it away. These cottages probably can’t be saved.” He snored. “Leopards do not change their spots. If I see that demon girl next time, I won’t let her go.”

Tang Nuo kept silent for a moment and finally said, “I still don’t know your name.”

Yang Ning responded, “My name is… Qi Ning! Lady, the room is burnt, and you don’t need to be too sad. Just rebuild it.”

Tang Nuo shook her head. “I can’t stay here anymore.”

Yang Ning’s eyes lit up and he stated in an instant, “Ah? Are you leaving here? It’s great. You are too lonely as you stay here far away from others.”

Tang Nuo explained, “I am not afraid of being lonely. I have stayed here for many years, and my master would stay here for only a few days every year.” She pondered for a while and then continued, “Nao knows that I am here, so I won’t live in peace here in the future.”

Yang Ning expressed, “Right. The demon girl is full of cunning tricks. You can’t bear to be cruel to her, but she is not kind to you. You suffer losses from the beginning. You can be alert to her many times, but if you are careless once, you might fall into her trap. It’s better for you to leave here.” Seeing that Tang Nuo didn’t speak, he asked cautiously, “Miss Tang, I invite you to somewhere. What do you think?”

Tang Nuo turned to Yang Ning. Under the moonlight, her face was beautiful. Although she was silent, her eyes were questioning.

Yang Ning explained in a hurry, “Here is the thing. I find that you are interested in medical skills, so you’d better go to the capital city. There are many people in the capital and countless sick common people. After you reach the capital, you can open a clinic and cure patients, so you can practice medicine in order to help the public. Moreover, there are a lot of famous doctors in the capital, and you will have a chance to learn from each other by exchanging views and promote your medical skills… Lady, don’t get me wrong. I don’t mean that your medical skills are not excellent, but there are people outside the world. It won’t harm you if you learn from other’s strong points to make up your deficiencies.”

In fact, seeing Tang Nuo’s superb medical skills, he had other intentions.

But this kind of people lived in the mountain secretly like a hermit and didn’t care about what happened in the world. It was difficult to ask such people to leave the mountain.

However, he saw that Tang Nuo seemed to be tempted, so he started to inflame and agitate her.

Tang Nuo stated casually, “In fact, my medical skills are ordinary and far away from my master’s. Even my master doesn’t dare to say that his medical skills are unsurpassed.”

“Lady, you are modest.” Yang Ning laughed. “But it won’t be harmful to learn more.”

Tang Nuo expressed gloomily, “You are right. There are people outside the world. If I want to make progress, I can’t avoid going out. These two years, I have made progress in medical skills quite slowly. My master advised me not to hurry, but I am clear that there must be reasons. After hearing your words today, I think maybe you are correct and I need to see more people and find more incurable diseases, so I can study and have more skills.”

As expected, she was a good girl with a strong desire to achieve attainments.

Yang Ning was joyful but didn’t show his emotion. He said seriously, “As for the incurable diseases, there are many in the capital. Many people suffer from weird diseases and go to the capital to see famous doctors. Miss Tang, I have connections in the capital. Then I will specially send people to look for patients suffering from incurable diseases and give them to you for your experiments.”

Tang Nuo knitted her beautiful brows slightly and finally spoke. “You leave here first. I have to sort out something and need some time. After I get ready, I will go to the capital to see you.”

Yang Ning stated excitedly, “Lady, you agree to go to the capital? Many people will be blessed. Don’t worry. As soon as I return to the capital, I will find a house for you and help you open a clinic.”

“No need.” Tang Nuo shook her head. “I will figure out a way by myself. I can’t let you do so much for me.”

“It’s nothing.” Yang Ning was overjoyed. “Lady, you don’t know about the situation in the capital, and it’s not easy for you, a weak girl to open a clinic. You don’t need to worry a lot, and just leave it to me. Without you, I might have been killed by the demon girl this time. I just return your kindness.”

Tang Nuo responded, “You don’t need to call her demon girl all the time. I don’t know if I can solve the problem in your pubic region, so you don’t need to be too happy.”

Yang Ning was astonished and felt embarrassed, thinking that this girl was smart as expected and could see through him at a glance.

“Miss Tang, I think I should leave after dawn.” Yang Ning looked up at the sky. “The rooms were burnt. I am worried that the demon…Nao will cause trouble to you later. If I am here, you can have a helper.”

Tang Nuo shook her head. “She burnt the rooms and doesn’t dare to stay here. She must have gone far away.” She reached out her hand with a porcelain bottle. Yang Ning asked in surprise, “Miss Tang, what’s this?”

Tang Nuo answered, “This is the Blood Pill. It took my master more than ten years to make this pill. No matter what poison is in your body, as long as you take it, it can stop the poison from attacking for three days. The Blood Pill can remove the ordinary poison easily. If the poison is very powerful, the Blood Pill can delay the attack and make you safe and sound within three days. Since you are worried that Nao will get you into trouble, with this Blood Pill, you won’t need to worry.”

Yang Ning thought such a treasure could hardly be bought with much money and asked, “How can I take such a precious thing?” Although he said that, he had received it in haste and put it in his pocket. But he knew that Tang Nuo gave him the Blood Pill, which meant that she asked him to leave, so he couldn’t stay here anymore. He saluted her. “Miss Tang, take care. I will wait for you in the capital. After you go to the capital and find the mansion of the Marquis of Honor, just mention my name.”

“The mansion of the Marquis of Honor?” Tang Nuo nodded slightly. “I have kept it in mind.” Hearing the words “the mansion of the Marquis of Honor”, she wasn’t surprised, as if she heard the name of an ordinary family.

Yang Ning didn’t delay and turned to leave. After walking a few steps, he looked back, to see Tang Nuo still watching the burning cottages quietly. After a moment’s hesitation, he asked, “Miss Tang, will you refuse to go there?”

Tang Nuo didn’t turn her head but said casually, “Don’t worry. I will go to the capital in half a month at most.”
