155: Chapter 134: Li Chen Mocked Relentlessly 155: Chapter 134: Li Chen Mocked Relentlessly Facing Third Grandpa’s response, Li Chen was baffled, “If you don’t even know, then what is there to talk about?” “Third Grandpa, I’m going to hang up now,” Li Chen said. “Hey hey hey, you rascal, I just said I can’t revive her, but I didn’t say I don’t know a way.” On the other end of the line, Third Grandpa almost died of anger at Li Chen. Is this how you treat your Third Grandpa? Li Chen chuckled, “Third Grandpa, I’m just joking around. I knew you had a way. Third Grandpa truly lives up to the title.” “Hmph.” A proud snort came from the other end of the line, and Li Chen could almost imagine Third Grandpa’s beard twitching with each snort. Clearly, he found Li Chen’s words quite fitting. How does that saying go again? A million holes can be poked, but flattery always slides through. “So, Third Grandpa, what’s your method?” Li Chen asked. “You can be really dense sometimes,” Third Grandpa pointed out unapologetically, then said, “The Ginseng Doll will do. Just a single drop of its blood can bring your little lover’s relative back to life, or at the very least, extend their life by a few years.” Little lover? Third Grandpa is really talking nonsense. She’s actually my girlfriend! However, Li Chen slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten about the Ginseng Doll. But how was he supposed to catch it himself? He had just met it today, and couldn’t even touch a hair on its head, let alone draw blood from its body, which would be as difficult as cutting a piece of flesh from someone else. It’s not like you can just say, “Bro, let me slice a piece of flesh from you.” “Third Grandpa, but I can’t catch that Ginseng Doll. It’s just too agile,” Li Chen complained. “That’s not my problem,” Third Grandpa chuckled on the phone, “but I do believe you and this Ginseng Doll have a certain fate between you.” Fate? Since when did Third Grandpa start learning divination from Fourth Grandfather? Li Chen scratched his head, but suddenly, there was a “boom” from the other side of the phone, sounding like an explosion, followed by what seemed like the ceiling shaking and sawdust falling. The violent noise made Li Chen quickly pull the phone away from his ear. Could Third Grandpa be demolishing a house? “Cough cough cough.” After a while, a coughing sound came through the phone, followed by a roar, “You rascal, I’m telling you, if you call me again while I’m doing alchemy, I’ll have you see what’s coming!” “Click” “Beep—beep—beep” The busy tone from the phone left Li Chen speechless. Damn, his alchemy furnace exploded, how was that his fault? After hanging up the phone, Li Chen thought about it and decided he needed to find the Ginseng Doll first. It seemed that the Ginseng Doll was still in Linchuan City. After some thought, Li Chen figured out the Ginseng Doll’s favorite places to visit, one being Linchuan University, and the other being where Zhong Tian was. It seemed the Ginseng Doll liked Zhong Tian even more. Therefore, Li Chen decided to visit Zhong Tian’s residence. If he couldn’t find it there, he would have to think of something else. Soon, Li Chen arrived at Zhong Tian’s residence. As he pushed open the door, he found Zhong Tian sitting cross-legged on the bed, and a Ginseng Doll was similarly sitting cross-legged next to him, hands held in front, eyes closed, in the exact same posture as Zhong Tian. It really was here. Li Chen felt a surge of joy, knowing that finding the Ginseng Doll would make things easier. “Big brother, you’re here,” Zhong Tian said naively, and then glanced at the Ginseng Doll sitting cross-legged. The Ginseng Doll also opened its eyes, saw Li Chen, and emitted a crisp giggling sound, as if mocking him, and then jumped onto Zhong Tian’s shoulder. It seemed that Zhong Tian was more favored. Seeing the Ginseng Doll’s actions, Li Chen couldn’t help feeling annoyed. “Keep being arrogant; you’ll pay for it someday,” he thought. But for now, he had to ask the Ginseng Doll for help and approached reluctantly. Li Chen came before Zhong Tian and looked at the Ginseng Doll, tentatively asking, “Can you understand what I’m saying?” Upon hearing Li Chen’s question, the Ginseng Doll opened its mouth but only let out a laugh similar to a baby’s, its chubby little hands waving in the air. Great, they couldn’t communicate. Still, Li Chen had to continue; this was about Grandma Wang Qianqian’s life. “Can you give me a drop of your blood?” Li Chen asked. Asking this, Li Chen felt a bit foolish, especially since the Ginseng Doll bore a grudge against him—why would it agree? The Ginseng Doll kept on giggling, its big eyes rolling around while the few hair-like fibers on its head fluttered. “Big brother, what are you doing?” Zhong Tian asked curiously. “Saving someone,” Li Chen replied helplessly, sitting beside them. He truly understood the importance of a translator now. After some thought, Li Chen tried using gestures and said to the Ginseng Doll again. “Just like this, squeeze a drop of blood for me, okay?” Li Chen showed the Ginseng Doll by forcing a drop of Blood Bead out of his index finger using True Qi. Under Li Chen’s hopeful gaze, the Ginseng Doll’s expression drastically changed, and then it shook its head frantically. It even jumped off Zhong Tian’s head and landed on the ground, ready to use Earth Escape to flee at any moment. It was no wonder the Ginseng Doll reacted so strongly; its body was full of treasures, most importantly its blood, which after absorbing essences for many years, was extremely valuable, and now Li Chen asked for its blood outright—how could that not frighten the Ginseng Doll? “A Tian, hold it steady,” Li Chen said hastily. Zhong Tian also started comforting the Ginseng Doll, and only after much persuasion under Li Chen’s watch did he manage to make the Ginseng Doll stay. However, the Ginseng Doll’s eyes were now filled with extreme wariness towards Li Chen. Why does this human always think about harming me? Oh, the woes of this baby. The Ginseng Doll voiced out its dissatisfaction with a ‘ya ya ya’ and gestured with its hands and feet towards Zhong Tian, apparently expressing its complaints about Li Chen. “I really need your blood urgently; if I don’t get it, she will die.” Li Chen didn’t care whether the Ginseng Doll understood or not and tried his best to make himself understood with gestures and speech. “Death, you know? Just like this,” Li Chen said, then suddenly rolled his eyes, his face blank, and he fell backward. Seeing this, the Ginseng Doll burst into laughter, its mouth letting out a ‘giggle, giggle, giggle.’ Li Chen got up from the ground and, seeing the Ginseng Doll’s laughter, felt utterly frustrated. To be mocked by a non-human Ginseng was just, damn. Li Chen kept talking, but as he danced around with his gestures, the Ginseng Doll just laughed again.
