Chapter 209: Chapter 209: A Simple Effort"Elder, how are you! How is your health?" Fang Bai gave Dongfang Leiming a once-over and asked with a smile. In fact, without waiting for Dongfang Leiming’s reply, Fang Bai had already noticed. Dongfang Leiming had a glowing complexion and was in high spirits, his health couldn’t have been better. "Good! Very good! I don’t have a single problem with my health now; I’m even better than many young people! This is all thanks to you, Doctor Fang!" When Fang Bai had intervened to treat Dongfang Leiming, he had not only completely cured Dongfang Leiming’s heart disease but also significantly enhanced his physical functions. His overall condition had reverted to that of his state at fifty, and all the minor issues his body had were gone. In Dongfang Leiming’s eyes, Fang Bai was nothing short of a divine figure on earth. "Hehe, it was just a small effort, hardly worth mentioning!" Fang Bai waved his hand and said modestly. "A small effort for you saved my life! If I can live a few more years, the fortune of our Dongfang Family can extend for a few more years..." When Dongfang Leiming spoke these words, his gaze became sharp as an eagle’s, sweeping over some members of the family. Some guilty members of the Dongfang Family bowed their heads, not daring to meet Dongfang Leiming’s sharp gaze. Fang Bai seemed to perceive something and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, with your current condition, Elder, living another thirty years won’t be a problem!" At these words, light shone in Dongfang Leiming’s eyes, and he asked, "Are you joking, Doctor Fang, or are you serious?" Fang Bai answered, "Should you suffer any illness in the next thirty years, Elder, feel free to come to me; I will take responsibility for curing you!" "Doctor Fang is a Divine Doctor whose medical skills are unmatched. With your words, I can rest completely assured!" A weight seemed to lift from Dongfang Leiming’s heart, and in his great relief, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud. If it were true that he had another thirty years to live, as Fang Bai said, he would be able to carefully lay out plans so that Dongfang Rushi could smoothly take over control after his death without worrying about internal strife within the Dongfang Family. Dongfang Yun’s family and other clan members who had a good relationship with them all showed faces brimming with joy upon hearing Fang Bai’s words. However, Dongfang Yun’s older brother, Dongfang Shan, and his second brother, Dongfang Dian, as well as his uncles, Dongfang Leizhen and Dongfang Leiyu, were filled with disappointment, but, out of respect for Dongfang Leiming’s presence, they didn’t dare to show their feelings openly. They had been hoping for Dongfang Leiming to pass away soon so that they could meddle in family affairs and even wrest control of the family’s business from the hands of Lin Ruoxue and Dongfang Rushi. But if Dongfang Leiming lived another thirty years, their hopes of taking charge of the family’s power would be dashed, and some of them might not live long enough to see Dongfang Leiming’s death. They might be buried in the soil themselves. Consequently, some looked at Fang Bai with resentment in their eyes, thinking that if it were not for him, Dongfang Leiming might have already died in the attack outside Yanjing City last time. When the lights in the grand hall came back on, Fang Bai returned to his seat, and Dongfang Ruhua, holding the Luminous Pearl in her hand, followed Fang Bai with her gaze, filled with infatuation and admiration. After Fang Bai, some guests also delivered birthday gifts, but with Fang Bai’s Luminous Pearl preceding them, these guests no longer made a spectacle of themselves and quickly left the stage after presenting their gifts. Dongfang Ruhua clearly had lost interest in the gifts that followed, mechanically receiving each one, then nodding to express her thanks. "Doctor Fang, is that Luminous Pearl you got really from the deep mountains? Do you still have any more?" Fang Bai had just returned to his seat when Lu Jianfeng came over with a big smile, pulled up a chair next to him, and asked in a low voice. Hearing Lu Jianfeng’s question, Su Linglong also pricked up her ears. When Su Linglong saw the Luminous Pearl Fang Bai gave to Dongfang Ruhua, her eyes lit up, her heart pounded with excitement, thinking the pearl was truly beautiful. She wished Fang Bai would give her one as well, how wonderful that would be. However, Su Linglong also knew that the Luminous Pearl was extremely precious, a treasure that was sought after but not easily found. To have one was already quite rare, let alone a second one. "What do you want the Luminous Pearl for?" Instead of answering Lu Jianfeng directly, Fang Bai smiled and looked at him as he asked in return. Lu Jianfeng scratched his head and, with a chuckling laugh, said, "Heh heh, if you have more, I’d like to buy one to keep. When I have a girlfriend in the future, I’ll give it to her as a pledge of love. I think there’s not a woman in the world who could refuse it." Fang Bai smiled and asked, "How much are you willing to pay for a Luminous Pearl?" "So you do have more?" At these words, Lu Jianfeng got almost jumpy with excitement, rubbed his hands, and said in a low voice, "I just asked some insiders, and that Luminous Pearl you gave to Dongfang Ruhua, if it were auctioned, it could be worth at least ten million! How about twenty million from me?" When Su Linglong heard Fang Bai actually had more Luminous Pearls, her heart started pounding, and she also silently regretted not asking Fang Bai earlier if he had more. Now that Lu Jianfeng had already spoken up, she felt it was too awkward to speak. Her look of disappointment didn’t escape Fang Bai’s eyes. He winked at her and whispered with a low chuckle, "Don’t be anxious, I have a few more pearls just like it. I’ll give you one after the birthday banquet is over." Su Linglong was overjoyed. Had there been no one around, she might have already thrown herself at Fang Bai and given him a kiss. Lu Jianfeng heard Fang Bai’s words, his eyes bulging with excitement, and asked, "Doctor Fang, just how many of these Luminous Pearls do you have? Why not let me handle them for you, I could sell them? I guarantee each one for no less than twenty million!" Fang Bai, now a multimillionaire, wasn’t short of money and wasn’t interested in selling the Luminous Pearls. He shook his head and said, "Not for sale. If you want one, I’ll also give you one later... Remember, the fact that I have Luminous Pearls on me, don’t mention it to others. I don’t want to attract trouble." "No way! Absolutely not! If the word gets out from me, I don’t need you to come and trouble me, I’ll slap my own mouth to shreds!" Lu Jianfeng declared while patting his chest. Sёarᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Even though Lu Jianfeng wasn’t short on money, spending twenty million for one of Fang Bai’s Luminous Pearls would still hurt, so naturally, he was thrilled when he heard Fang Bai was going to give him one for free. The auditorium was filled with noise, and their conversation was kept so quiet that even the guests sitting at the same table could hardly hear what they were saying, not to mention worrying about others overhearing. However, as the two discussed the Luminous Pearls, a woman in her thirties sitting not far away at another table twitched her ears. Then she glanced in the direction of Fang Bai and the others and a sharp gleam passed through her eyes. (PS: Brothers and sisters, cast your votes with effort, and I’ll update with effort!
