Chapter 133: 133: Merits (5)

Chapter 133: 133: Merits (5) The shadowy aura in Qu Rouya faded together with that threatening voice. Yue Xuexia's face remained calm and composed even under those threats. On the other hand, except for the hospital director, Yi Guang, almost all the doctors and nurses who heard that unknown and hoarse voice coming out of nowhere terrified them. As people who grew up believing in science, that event just now made their view of the world flip all over. Meanwhile, Long Juedi, Ling Wen, and Long Huangdi frowned as they felt that the voice just now sounded extremely familiar to them. It seems that they knew the identity of the man who owned that voice. Once the golden light on Qu Rouya faded, his complexion and flesh returned to normal proportions, and he looked completely healthy with that brown skin and rosy complexion. He opened his eyes as if he were full of energy and even immediately sat up in disbelief. Madame Qu jumped on her husband and hugged him, tears strolling down her haggard face. "Honey! You're alright!" "Calm down. I am fine now," said Qu Rouya as he comforted her by patting gently on her back. Then he looked up and met the cold yet clear eyes of Yue Xuexia. "Yatou, thank you for saving me." [Xue'er, I've taken most of his merits as you wish. Shen Jueyang said in her mind, "I only left enough to prevent him from being reincarnated as an animal in his next life." "It's fine. You have paid for it. Anyway, I am out to find another patient. Yi Guang will handle the rest," said Yue Xuexia as she once again left the room. She greeted the seniors standing in the hallway and continued to listen to the direction the system was telling her to go. She is now about to find her third patient. Since Taiyang left to find the culprit of the curses that appeared on her patient, only Yi Guang would come over to support her during her rounds. She had treated four more patients after Qu Rouya. One of whom she had used her last chance of sacred healing was another dying man who was crippled from the waist down and had fallen into a deep coma. This man was another senior from the generation of Long Huangdi, and he was a cultivator. He is the father of the scholar, Old Fu Renzen, whom Yue Xuexia had met at the charity party on the cruise before. As for the last three, their illnesses are indeed terminal, but they don't need Yue Xuexia's divine skill. She concocted a few ancient prescriptions, pills, or acupuncture with her qi in order to treat patients with late-stage cancer, leukemia, and Alzheimer's disease. After treating all six patients, she finally fainted from fatigue from overusing her divine-tier healing skills. It was already evening when she woke up, opened her eyes to a white ceiling, and realized that she must have fainted. She tried to sit up, only for her weak arms to let him fall back. Before she completely fell, Taiyang appeared to support her and encourage her to sit up. Taiyang said, "You overdid it. We told you that the limit is three times when using that healing skill of yours! You tried to use it for the fourth time while I was away!" "Urgh~ Yangyang, shut up! My head is throbbing," said Yue Xuexia as she pressed the center of her forehead. Tomorrow, I will limit the number of missions to just three a day. I didn't expect you to do all six in one day. You should have finished two at most in a day, not all six. Sigh~] Yue Xuexia said, "It's fine. Didn't I still finish it anyway?" Snort! Seeing Taiyang sulking, Yue Xuexia looked around for food and saw a big fruit basket on the side table of her bed. She took an orange and peeled some for Taiyang. "Okay, I won't do it again. What happened to that person who caused all the curses on the patients involved with Grandpa Long?" "I crippled him and threw him to those annoying old men. As for Qu Rouyi, I've burned him to ashes and given it to his parents. It's weird that they blame me for killing their son. The lady of that family even flushed his ashes in the toilet; it was hilarious. Haha~" storied Taiyang. Yue Xuexia said, "Serve him right. He can even harm his own family for his greed. His ending is just right for him." What Yue Xuexia didn't know was that Taiyang tortured Qu Rouyi and the Devil Cultivator without killing them. Those two suffered a lot and almost went mad in the process. He even pulled out Qu Rouyi's soul and destroyed it. Now that man will never be able to reincarnate all his life. Yue Xuexia asked, "How about the one who inflicted curses? What is his deal? Don't you know he threatened me when I purified his aura on Qu Rouya?" "Don't worry. I crippled him because of that. He is now no different from a dying old man at the end of his life. I made sure he could survive for a month though. He is a Devil Cultivator from the Cultivation Realm. He was just a Peak Foundation Trash who planned to use human sacrifice to extend his life. He is also the one who used Gu and Curse on your patients. It seems they wanted to replace all the leaders of the Mortal Realm and take over," said Taiyang. "They are now trying to find who the others are who are involved with this. If those group of old men can't get anything on to him through torture, I will use Soul Search on him." "What is Soul Search?" asked Yue Xuexia. [It's a way to forcibly look through one's soul. The process is the same as yanking your soul, and it's extremely painful. Some even ended up becoming fools due to it. That man is a bad person. There is no need to pity him.] "I don't feel sympathy for such an evil thing," Yue Xuexia said. "How long have I been out? The sky had turned dark already." "You're out for twelve hours. It's already 11 in the evening. It's time for a late dinner. I've saved some for you. Eat now." Taiyang served the meals on her bed and even pulled a small table for her to eat dinner. A small feast of three dishes, a bowl of soup, and three side dishes appeared in front of Yue Xuexia. A puffing hot bowl of white rice was passed into her hand. When she woke up just now, her hunger was nonexistent. Now that she smelled various fragrances of food before her, her stomach growled. She immediately lifted her hand and picked up a boneless fried chicken covered with white snow cheese powder. She scooped at the mashed potato among the side dishes and sipped at the egg drop soup in the bowl. She happily ate the food in front of her with narrowed eyes in happiness. These foods look simple but are extremely delicious. Yum~ Yue Xuexia said, "So delicious. Where did you buy this!? I want to eat more!" "Your system cooked it for you. He didn't even do my part, and I have to eat at the hospital cafeteria for dinner!" Taiyang complained. [You mean when you were immediately kicked out for complaining and eating a huge pot of plum porridge that was meant for the patients in this hospital.] Pfft~ Yue Xuexia asked, "Are you for real?" [Watch this, Xue'er.] A system screen appeared in front of Yue Xuexia. Shen Jueyang recorded what happened in the cafeteria when Taiyang came over to eat. Beside them, Taiyang was blushing in embarrassment, as he was indeed kicked out by those aunties who even dared to kick his buttocks. Yue Xuexia watched the video and started laughing. She even almost choked on her food as she laughed while swallowing it. HAHAHAHA~ --- While Yue Xuexia is resting in the hospital guest VIP room, the old men who were cured by Yue Xuexia this morning have gathered in one place. This includes her three patients, Long Juedi, Qu Rouya, and the old cultivator from the Fu Clan, Fu Wangyi. They were actually in the underground under the hospital, which allowed them to speak to one another without the others snooping around. In the same place, the Devil Cultivator, who was crippled by Taiyang, is tied up and lying on the ground like a lifeless corpse. Cultivator Ling Wen mercilessly kicked the man awake. "Wake up, you old bastard from the Seven Poison Gu Sect! Who helped you enter the mortal realm without our permission!?" "Is the barrier still even working? It's an old one after all," asks Qu Rouya. With a frown, Long Juedi informed the rest of the group and said, "Upon investigation, they said that there are some rips and holes on it. I wanted to send people to the Heavenly Sword Sect, but most of them died on the way." "This is an obvious move that someone is trying to destroy the barrier in the mortal realm. It seems that I will need to personally visit an old friend for this issue," said Long Huangdi. Cultivator Fu Wangyi said, "Are you going to enter the Cultivation Realm alone? You will definitely die. I have some friends from the Crimson Cloud Auction House. We can ask for their help for this problem." "Crimson Cloud Auction Hall? I guess we can trust them. They had some interaction with the little girl," said Long Juedi. Long Huangdi and Fu Wangyi, who are from an older generation, knew what kind of people owned that place. They are cultivators from the cultivation realm, and they also know the reason why the two old men from that place came over to their realm. Fu Wangyi said, "If the Divine Doctor was involved with them, that means their disciple is now cured." "If that is so, then they must be getting ready to cut off all connections from their sect," Long Huangdi said. Long Juedi, Ling Wen, and Qu Rouya didn't know much about the existence of the Crimson Cloud Auction Hall. All they knew was that it was run by cultivators and a young man called Lin Chiyu, who was said to be dying because of an incurable poison. But since they already met Yue Xuexia, that only meant that Lin Chiyu was most likely cured by her. Fu Wangyi said, "I will go visit them together with you. For now, let's get some information from this man and at least learn who the people involved are and what they want. Xiao Wen, go wake him up and begin." "Yes, Senior!" said Ling Wen. After waking up, the Devil Cultivator saw these mortals and two weak cultivators. He sneered at them and didn't dare speak a word while taunting them. This man obviously didn't want to talk about their plans. But this man's smugness only lasted until Taiyang appeared in the room holding a drumstick in his head. The Devil Cultivator's face turned white when he saw this devil who tortured him for his life and wished that he had died instead. In the end, Taiyang used Soul Search to inform him of the information the old men needed before returning to the room where Yue Xuexia was and tucking her back into bed to sleep. She still needs to continue this mission to treat some patients and gather as much merit as she can. As for the old men underground, they started making their moves one by one, and some of them even left the hospital that night to make some preparations to solve the current problem.
