Chapter 15: Medicine Pill

2/4

"I've benefited?"

Ning Qiu Tong paused for a while before laughing, as she sarcastically said, "Please tell me, what did I benefit?"

However, Chen Xi did not reply.

His cold gaze swept passed Ning Qiu Tong and her father, and he coldly said, "I've already refined the 10,000¥ medicinal ingredients into this medicine pill. The pill is here. From here on, I have nothing to do with you guys. If you dare to sprout any more conceited nonsense, don't blame me for what will happen next!"

After he finished saying, Chen Xi took out a small bottle and placed it on the table before walking straight out.

As Ning Qiu Tong looked at Chen Xi's back, her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something. However, she held it in till the end.

Ning Zhong Guo silently watched the commotion between Ning Qiu Tong and Chen Xi. Even when Chen Xi left, he did say anything to stop him from leaving. He gently sighed as he went up the stairs again.

One is his daughter, the other is a stranger.

Since both of them are like fire and ice, he naturally could not continue to help the stranger.

Forget about it, maybe his daughter is right. That young man might really be a swindler.

Maybe because he was being so optimistic for a cure that he did not realize any problems with the young man.

After Chen Xi left, the hall plunged into an eerie silence.

Ning Qiu Tong angrily stomped towards the table and decided to throw away that so-called pill. (TN: Oh well, there goes the medicine)

However, when she picked up the pill bottle, she mysteriously stopped her actions.

She then opened the pill bottle, wanting to smell the pill.

Just when she opened the pill bottle, a faint medicinal scent invaded her sense of smell.

She gently inhaled, only to smell an unexplainable fragrant scent.

The scent was very unique; Amidst the faint fragrant, the refreshing and the bitter smell coming from the medicinal ingredients intertwined with each other.

When the scent entered her lungs, she immediately felt that she was much clear-headed than before.

'This medicine…'

Her eyebrows knitted slightly, and after giving it some thought, she closed the bottle cap and placed it in her bag.

… … …

Chen Xi finally reached home, albeit feeling somewhat depressed.

He did nothing wrong yet he was berated by other people; Naturally, his mood would not be good.

The medicinal ingredients cost 9,000¥. If he thought about it carefully, his service fee/profit was only 800¥.

'If I earn 800 per night, then based on my estimation, I belong to the high-income group in Zhong Hai…'

Chen Xi laughed at himself as he knocked on the door.

The Qi Replenishing pill could only slow down the effects of the illness, however, it could not eliminate it completely.

There was only one way to cure him. By placing the Qi Replenishing pill as a foundation, Chen Xi could then use cultivation techniques to circulate the Qi, unleashing the full potential of the medicine. In this way, he could eliminate the illness from its roots.

However, based on the current situation, even if Ning Zhong Guo offered him 1,000,000¥ or 10,000,000¥, he would not cure him.

Do you really think a single penny would trouble this hero?

Thinking up to here, Chen Xi could not help but laugh coldly.

We shall see…

"PAPA!"

"Papa is back!"

As long as Chen Xi walked out of the house, the little kiddo would always take note of the door at all times.

That was why even though Chen Xi knocked softly, she could still hear it over the sound of the cartoon.

The little kiddo excitedly jumped down from the sofa and ran to the door, barefooted.

Looking at the small head that was poking through the door gap, the dark clouds in his heart instantly disappeared.

He opened the door and bent down to embrace his daughter.

He then rubbed her nose and smiled, "Nian Nian, do you miss papa?"

"Miss!" The little kiddo smiled sweetly.

"Good girl, papa is back. Let's go into the house."

He carried his daughter to the sofa and after playing with the little kiddo for a while, he went to the kitchen and passed the last Qi Replenishing pill to Aunty Zhang.

"Aunty Zhang, this is a new pill that my company has researched. 100% refined from Chinese medicine and has no chemicals in it. It is rumored to be able to prevent sickness, increase one's immune system, and is especially effective for the elderly. I've especially taken one home for you, so take it."

"Really that effective?"

Aunty Zhang took the small pill bottle and opened the cover. After smelling it, she then smiled and said, "I have never seen this kind of healthcare products before. Do I eat it directly or dissolve it in water?"

"Eat it Directly. Hurry up and eat it. I have eaten this before, the feeling after eating it is similar to powdered medicine, and it's not that bitter either." (E.N: warning don’t eat pills from strangers)

Upon seeing that Chen Xi was again urging her, Aunty Zhang directly ate the pill without any suspicion.

After eating the pill, Aunty Zhang felt a refreshing feeling flowing from her neck to her stomach.

It felt like eating a peppermint, which made people extremely comfortable. You could even rely on that refreshing feeling to clearly sense the flow of the pill.

"Aiya, this medicine is so strong."

After eating the pill, Aunty Zhang shut her eyes to experience the feeling more vividly.

When she re-opened her eyes, she felt that the objects in front of her were much clearer than before.

Aunty Zhang forcefully blinked and she felt that the scene in her line of sight was much clearer. The long-sightedness that had troubled her for years was finally gone."

"Godly! This medicine is so godly! Little Chen, where did you get this from? It must be very expensive. Come, come, I will pass you the money…"

Aunty Zhang pulled Chen Xi towards her bedroom, preparing to pass him the money.

Chen Xi immediately waved his hand and explained, "Aunty Zhang, this medicine is free! This is the bonus that our company has given to its staff. Currently, this medicine is not in the market yet, so you still can't buy it outside…" (TN: Bonus on the first day of work…lmao){E.N: I wish my Grandma was this gullible}

Saying up till here, Chen Xi held onto her hand and sincerely said, "Luckily, you were here all these years. I don't even know how to return the kindness that our family has owed you… It's just a small thing and you want to give me money, isn't this treating me like I'm an outsider? I'm from the younger generation, it's only natural to show filial respect to the elders…"

However, Aunty Zhang refused to give in and insisted on giving the money to Chen Xi.

She was not a fool. This pill that was able to have an immediate effect upon consumption was definitely not simple. Hence, she was unwilling to take Chen Xi's medicine just like that.

Of course, Chen Xi also could not take Aunty Zhang's money.

He has owed Aunty Zhang a lot. How could a mere Qi Replenishing pill repay everything!

After going back and forth for quite a while, Chen Xi finally succeeded in convincing Aunty Zhang,

Aunty Zhang no longer brought up the issue about money and instead, she kept on praising Chen Xi for being thoughtful and having a sense of responsibility like a man.

Hearing that, Chen Xi smiled sheepishly and started to have small talk with Aunty Zhang.

… … …

Medical college.

Professor Xie looked at the brand new health report in his hands and frowned.

"Professor Xie, how was it? Is my father okay?" Ning Qiu Tong concernedly asked.

Professor Xie deeply sighed and said, "My predictions were correct, Mr Ning's five viscera are injured…"(E.N: Viscera are the 'main' organs in your body)

Ning Qiu Tong was so frightened that her face paled a few shades whiter.

Looking at her expression, Professor Xie sadly shook his head.

However, Ning Qiu Tong deeply breathed in and asked, "And?"

Professor slightly shook his head and trying his best to fulfill the role of a doctor, he explained in detail, "Mr Ning's heart, lungs, kidneys, liver and spleen all have signs of bleeding. The most serious injury is to his lungs. Part of his left lung is already dead and surgery needs to be done immediately. Furthermore, since his five viscera were damaged, the decayed wounds have produced bacteria and it has already accumulated to a certain level. We have to find a way to discharge it and disinfect the wounds by using the system…"(TN: Is it correct to say Blackwater? I have no medical knowledge so let me know if there's another word for it.)

Dazed, Ning Qiu Tong was rooted to the spot. In that instant, her mind went completely blank.
