Chapter 242: A surprise?
Translator: 549690339
Li xiaonian had devoured a large number of soul crystals. Although he seemed to have eaten all of them, he had yet to digest them completely. They were still in his stomach. As he circulated his cultivation technique, the soul crystal was quickly digested. While his divine soul grew stronger, the soul poison in his body was gradually suppressed.
The night passed.
!!
Hu …
Li xiaonian was a little happy.
After absorbing a large number of soul crystals, he could vaguely feel that the time for the soul poison to take effect had been extended by a year. He still had at least two years.
No, as long as he had enough soul crystals, it wouldn’t be a problem to extend his life for another eight to ten years. He would have enough time to find the star Lord and ask him for help in removing the soul poison.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he was greeted by a skinny face and big eyes. He was simply an alien monster in his dreams.
“……”
Li xiaonian was startled, and his heart skipped a beat. However, he was still unusually calm.”What is it?”
“……”
Hong Mo’s face turned black.
Li xiaonian was frightened by her own appearance. It was an insult to her appearance. If it wasn’t for the soul poison in her body, she would be a famous beauty.
Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. For the sake of a better life in the future, this small matter is not worth getting angry over.
Calming down, Hong mo squeezed out a stiff smile and said, ” “Handsome, are you done with your cultivation? Congratulations, congratulations, the strength of your soul has increased by a large amount and you can completely suppress the soul poison. You will be able to do it soon.”
“If you have something to say, say it.”
“This …”
Hong Mo’s expression froze. li xiaonian, ” he said awkwardly, ” no matter what, we’re your saviors, right? ”
“Did I?”
Li xiaonian played dumb.
Seeing li xiaonian’s attitude, Hong mo was a little mad. He really wanted to tear his face off, but he held back and said, ” “Why not? in the shelter in the heaven domain battlefield, if it wasn’t for me, the soul poison would have acted up and you would have died. Also, if we hadn’t blocked Hui Xingxing’s executioner for you, you would have died long ago.”
“Oh.” Li xiaonian nodded, ” that seems to be the case. But I also seem to remember that if I didn’t invite senior Chi Yun, you guys would’ve been dead too. You saved me once, and I saved you once. This matter will be even.”
“Can it be the same? The one who saved us is Chi Yun, not you.”
“Senior Chi Yun was invited by me.”
sure. If you really want to say that, I’ve saved your life twice throughout the entire process, and you’ve only saved mine once.
Li xiaonian spread out his hands and said reasonably, ” “You saved me twice and I saved you two. No one owes anyone anything.”
This woman had the soul crystal, but she ate it all for herself. She didn’t give him any. Even if it was just a courtesy, it would be good. It was not easy to get soul crystals from him now.
Hong mo could not win in his argument. He looked at Mei Chu from the corner of his eyes, hoping to get help. Unfortunately, Mei Chu turned his head away and pretended not to see anything.
She really couldn’t bring herself to ask for soul crystals so openly.
Since he couldn’t win the argument, Hong mo gave up. “Hey, are you even a man? I just didn’t give you any soul crystals yesterday morning. Do you have to be so resentful? I know you must have more soul crystals on you. Just say the word and lend us some first. When we get home, we’ll pay you back double. Is that okay? just say the word.”
“No,”
Li xiaonian replied without hesitation.
“I …”
Hong Mo’s face was constipated, and he didn’t know how to reply.
Mei Chu, who was standing at the side, thought for a moment and said calmly, ” “Li xiaonian, it was our fault before. I apologize to you here.” Mei Chu’s face turned red as he paused, ” what should we do for you to lend us some soul crystals, or rather, money? ”
In the past, she had disdained to apologize and borrow money. But now, in order to relieve the pain in her body, she had to bow her head and make an exception to borrow money from a half-familiar stranger.
Li xiaonian couldn’t be harsh to Mei Chu. He thought for a while and said, ” “I can lend you soul crystals, but you have to agree to one condition.”
“What condition?” what? ” Hong mo was a little annoyed. you don’t really think that you can do whatever you want just because you have a few soul crystals, do you? ”
hehe, if you still have this attitude, then just pretend I didn’t say anything. Li xiaonian said indifferently.
The rich are the Lords. This saying was applicable not only on earth, but also in the entire universe.
“Go ahead,” Mei Chu’s face was serious.
“Ahem.”
Li xiaonian scratched his head and thought for a moment. I haven’t thought about the conditions yet, but they’re all within reasonable limits. If you agree to them, everything can be discussed.
“Sure.” Mei Chu nodded.
Hong mo was about to retort when he saw li xiaonian flicking out a soul crystal. The soul crystal landed precisely in Mei Chu’s hand.
Mei Chu took a look and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed and swallowed slowly, then crossed his legs and began to cultivate.
He saw the soul crystal.
Hong Mo’s throat couldn’t help but wriggle. He braced himself and said, ” “Alright, I agree as well.”
If she could, she really wanted to press li xiaonian to the ground and search his body. But for the sake of the shadow, she had to hold back.
A little impatience spoils a great plan.
Li xiaonian didn’t continue to make things difficult for him. He also threw out a soul crystal and said,”I have something to do and need to go out.”
Hong mo and Mei Chu had been unwilling to reveal their strength, but li xiaonian knew that they must be very strong. He still needed their help in this situation.
The shopkeeper of the Xing Tong general store, mi Niang, knew part of his secret, which made him uneasy.
Li xiaonian left.
Red fiend looked outside the door angrily and couldn’t help but ridicule, ” “I don’t know what kind of dog shit luck this guy has to have so much money. I really want to tie him up and Rob him of all his things.”
don’t nag. Mei Chu opened her eyes and said sternly, ” it’s enough to avoid a bigger misunderstanding.
“Hmph,” he snorted. Hmph! Hong mo coldly snorted.
……
Grimm Medical Center.
Li xiaonian had signed a volunteer contract with the hospital. He was here to terminate the contract.
Now that he had money, there was no need to risk his life for a small amount of money.
There was an endless stream of residents seeking medical treatment at Grimm hospital.
Most of them were commoners, and like li xiaonian, they weren’t Saints. In fact, the overall combat power of the vast sea continent was very strong, but not everyone could become a saint.
Most of them had no talent for cultivation and could only rely on their physical strength. Even so, their physical combat power was not weaker than that of a Saint.
The commoners who sought medical treatment were either dismembered as if they had been bitten by a ferocious beast or their faces were purple or blue, as if they had been poisoned.
The discharged patients were full of admiration.
we’re really lucky to have doctor Grina in kedo city. Not only is her medical skills powerful, but her fees are also low.
yes, that’s true. If it wasn’t for doctor Grina, I would have left kedo city long ago. Here, I’m not afraid of getting injured. At least I don’t have to bear the expensive medical expenses. As long as I go out hunting, I won’t suffer any losses.
“Sigh … Speaking of hunting, my arm was bitten off by a poisonous ant. I thought my arm would be gone. Fortunately, I was careful and picked up the broken arm. I didn’t expect doctor Grina to really reattach it. ”
The Hunter shook his injured arm and clenched his fist: doctor Grina’s medical skills are amazing. If it wasn’t for the scar, no one would believe that my arm had fallen to the ground before. The strength, speed, and flexibility of my arm are exactly the same as before.
“Congratulations, congratulations.”
……
Li xiaonian walked past the crowd and headed to the reception area. He said to a refined-looking boy, ” “Hello, I’m a volunteer. What procedures do I need to go through to terminate my contract?”
“Terminate the contract?”
The refined man raised his head. Sir Zhe will handle the contract termination. Sir Zhe’s office is in the first room on the second floor.
“Thank you,” he said.
Li xiaonian followed the receptionist’s direction and found the stairs.
On the second floor, there was a road sign at the most eye-catching intersection: At the volunteer registration area.
At the entrance of the office, there were a few people waiting in line. All of them looked listless. Only one or two of them were still in good spirits and were quite optimistic.
Li xiaonian’s appearance made everyone look at him with a troubled expression.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, li xiaonian finally chose to line up obediently.
“Little brother, are you also a volunteer?”
The old man in front of li xiaonian looked at him with sympathy.
“This … I guess so.”
“Sigh … You’re so young, but I didn’t expect you to be as down and out as this old man. I’m old, and I don’t have much natural life to live anyway. I might as well use this rotten life in exchange for rich and happy times. Listen to my advice, if you don’t have the determination to die, it’s better to terminate your contract as soon as possible. It’s not that easy to be a volunteer.”
“Thank you,” he said.
Li xiaonian nodded.
Following that, the old man continued to ramble on and on, as if only words could give him enough courage.
Li xiaonian could only listen in silence.
After waiting for more than ten minutes.
Finally, it was li xiaonian’s turn.
The man sitting in the office was the one-armed man who was recruiting volunteers in the market. He looked at the nameplate next to him. Zhe gang (doctor)
“Fill this form in carefully. This form is related to the area you’ll be assigned to and the degree of risk you’ll take.”
Zhe gang pushed the watch to li xiaonian.
Li xiaonian glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, then took out 50000 hai Yuan from the crape myrtle Star Ring and said resentfully,”Doctor Zhe, I’m here to terminate my contract.”
Although he didn’t see the form clearly, he could see the general content.
The form was filled in with the individual’s strength level, injury experience, pain tolerance, and so on. With this calculation, Grimm hospital was indeed recruiting volunteers.
“Terminate the contract?”
Zhe gang was slightly stunned. He looked at li xiaonian with a profound gaze and then nodded.”Sure.”
After keeping the form, Zhe gang returned another contract to li xiaonian. He stamped the steel seal of Green Hospital on the contract and handed it to li xiaonian.”Press the blood seal and the contract will be terminated.”
“Thank you,” he said.
For some reason, li xiaonian heaved a sigh of relief.
It had to be said that the efficiency of work here was more than a hundred times higher than on earth. He had once fantasized about making things difficult for him, but in the end, nothing had happened.
He pressed the blood mark.
The invisible shackles that had been hanging above his head disappeared in the blink of an eye, and he became more relaxed.
In addition to this contract, he had also signed another contract with the Mi Niang. That contract would only disappear three days later when the other party received the money.
Li xiaonian sensed his body’s condition and thought to himself,”It seemed that he couldn’t sign too many contracts in the vast sea continent, nor could he sign them for too long. Otherwise, he would be shackled by the heavenly Dao all the time, which would be very detrimental to his cultivation.
Li xiaonian walked out of the office.
The volunteers around them were all envious. Not everyone was willing to give up the 50000 hai Yuan that they had just obtained. It was a huge sum of money.
Suddenly ~~
Li xiaonian’s eyelids dropped, and his body went weak.
“Captain, run! You’ve been poisoned!”
Li xiaonian wanted to escape, but he didn’t have any strength left. He could only fall limply to the ground.
The moment he fell, the people around him couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Unconscious?”
it should be a terminal illness. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have volunteered to earn this money.
it’s a pity. I could have made a lot of money, but I didn’t expect him to give up just like that. I don’t know if I can save him this time.
he can definitely be saved. After all, this is Green Hospital. Every doctor here is so good. Not to mention, doctor Grina is a famous Divine Doctor.
……
While the crowd was discussing, li xiaonian was carried away by two doctors in white coats.
The one-armed doctor, Zhe gang, continued to let the volunteers fill in the forms as if the whole incident had nothing to do with him.
……
Time passed by slowly.
In the blink of an eye, a day and a night had passed.
In the tavern.
Mei Chu was the first to wake up. He frowned, ” “Li xiaonian has been out for so long and hasn’t returned. Could something have happened?”
Red fiend pouted. this is kedo city. As long as we don’t leave the city, what can happen? I guess he’s avoiding us on purpose and hiding somewhere to enjoy the soul crystal alone. If you didn’t get close to him before, you wouldn’t know. Good Lord, his nose, mouth, and breath are all fluctuations of soul crystals. I originally thought that eating five or six soul crystals would have such an effect, but now that I think about it, he must have eaten at least a dozen soul crystals in one go to have such a large fluctuation.”
At the thought of li xiaonian, Hong Mo’s face was filled with grievance and regret. If she had known that li xiaonian was so rich, she would have been more generous and given li xiaonian one, no, two soul crystals for free.
Since he was already so generous, how could li xiaonian be stingy?
Mei Chu shook his head. he’s not someone who doesn’t know the severity of things. If there’s something important, even if he doesn’t come back, he’ll still ask someone to let him know.
Hong mo rolled his eyes at Mei Chu and said,”maybe they found a clue to contact the star Lord and delayed it.” He’s not a child, what’s the rush? let’s wait first.”
In the blink of an eye, another day passed.
Hong mo and Mei Chu couldn’t sit still any longer. They went to the streets and found a patrol to check on li xiaonian.
……
On the other side.
Li xiaonian was locked up in a sealed laboratory. He was lying flat on an iron bed, and his body was tightly bound with bandages.
360 lights shone around them.
Li xiaonian opened his eyes in a daze. When he saw the situation around him, his expression turned unsightly.
“Xiao Ya, what happened while I was unconscious?”
Captain, you’ve been poisoned by a wizard. That wizard was doctor Zhe gang. He was the one who poisoned you. Xiao Ya only found out after you were poisoned.
Pausing for a moment, Xiao Ya continued, ” when you were unconscious, Zhe gang appeared three times. Each time, he injected you with a strange liquid and then left. As for what kind of drug it was, Xiao Ya’s database does not have any records, so it’s not very clear.
“Damn it.”
Li xiaonian cursed and tried to struggle.
Clang ~
The metal bed shook violently, but the binding had him tightly bound.
Ba da ~ ba da ~ ba da ~
The footsteps of two people came from outside the door.
“Zhe gang said he prepared a surprise gift for me. I wonder if it’s true.”
Lord Zhe usually has a straight face and doesn’t smile. If he says it’s a surprise, it must be true.
Two soft female voices came from outside the door.
Creak ~~
The door of the secret room opened, and Li xiaonian saw two women appear from the corner of his eye. One of them was a short-haired female doctor wearing a white coat, and the other was an assistant with a slave mark on her forehead.
With just a glance at li xiaonian, Grina’s face was immediately filled with excitement. She couldn’t help but exclaim,”Good, good, that’s great.”
