Chapter 63: Chapter 63 That’s what you call awesome!_1

Over a dozen brazen teenagers, ready to strut around, were thrown off their game when a fire forced them to flee haphazardly in all directions, quickly disappearing from sight.

Mo Shaoyun and her four companions let out relieved sighs as they took their seats by the chairs.

That had been a close call. If Gao Longfei and his two friends hadn’t done their share and bought them some time, they surely wouldn’t have escaped.

"Hmm? What’s that little thing over there?"

All of a sudden, Dong Qian spotted a cute creature scampering from not too far and exclaimed in surprise.

Turned their heads, the girls burst into laughter. They had never seen such a peculiar creature before. But without a doubt, the little thing was adorable, making anyone who saw it want to hold it in their arms.

"Hey, little one, come here." Dong Qian waved her hands encouragingly.

The creature halted in its tracks, appearing to be on high alert.

"Come here, don’t be afraid." Zhu Qing stood up, slowly approaching the creature with a friendly smile on her face.

"Grrr..." The creature jumped back, baring its teeth and bristling its fur.

Zhu Qing, terrified, quickly stopped in her tracks.

How come such an adorable creature has such a terrible temper?

"Qingqing, don’t go over there, be careful it bites you." Mu Cheng warned, "It’s very weird, I’ve never seen one before, have no idea what it is."

Zhu Qing nodded, dared no longer move forward.

At this moment, Zhang Xian, leading Shen Nanshan and two others, walked over, admonishing as he walked, "Remember what I taught you guys, practice every night, no slacking off."

"So, brother-in-law, the stuff you taught us, does it really work?" Xu Lei asked with uncertainty.

He initially thought Zhang Xian would teach them kung fu, but unexpectedly it turned out to be some kind of Qi cultivation chant. It seemed almost like something from a fantasy movie, where power is increased through meditation.

Gao Longfei and Shen Nanshan also expressed their skepticism, finding it very eerie.

"You’ll know if it works when you try it, won’t you?" Zhang Xian chuckled, "Not very long, just stick to it for a month, you’ll definitely see some progress, you’ll also feel it."

Gao Longfei, Xu Lei, and Shen Nanshan nodded, no longer questioning but beginning to ponder the chant Zhang Xian had just taught them.

Everyone craves power, the question being whether they are willing to work for it. The exercise method which Zhang Xian taught them was unusual. It required no physical labor, naturally stirring their anticipation.

"Zhang Xian, you’re back?" Dong Qian ran to greet Zhang Xian, asking with a smile, "What is that creature? It’s so endearing!"

"Oh, that little one, I brought it back from the mountains." Zhang Xian chuckled.

"Ah! You brought it back from the mountains? So, it’s yours?" Dong Qian said excitedly, "Can you ask it to let me hold it?"

"Should be okay, I guess?" Zhang Xian waved at the creature and said, "Come on over. Hurry up."

The creature shook its head, indicating a refusal to comply.

At this scene, Mo Shaoyun and the girls were all stunned. What’s going on? Can this little creature understand human language? It just shook its head!

"Won’t come over, huh?" Zhang Xian darted forward and gave the creature a kick in the butt.

"Grrr..." The creature rolled over, baring its teeth at Zhang Xian.

"Ah..." Dong Qian rushed forward, pulling Zhang Xian back, "Why did you kick it?"

"You don’t know, this creature is very clever, always trying to trick me for food." Zhang Xian had only spent a short time with the creature but that was enough to realize how smart it was.

Typically, divine beasts would possess intelligence not inferior to humans. Though the creature wasn’t a divine beast, it was definitely not any less clever; it just didn’t understand human language yet.

Seeing Dong Qian come to its defense, the creature suddenly leapt onto Dong Qian’s shoulder, showcasing its cuteness.

"Ha ha, it’s so cute." Dong Qian quickly snatched the creature into her arms.

Zhang Xian looked on, his face darkened. This infuriating creature, even knows to find a powerful backer for itself?

"Qianqian, let me hold it." Mu Cheng leaned in, took the creature from Dong Qian, and cuddled it in her arms while pinching it here and there, laughing gleefully.

"Ah! Sister Cheng, I haven’t held it enough yet, how could you just snatch it from me?" Dong Qian pouted, complaining begrudgingly.

Zhu Qing, Xiao Nan, and Mo Shaoyun could not resist the creature’s charm either, quickly ran over to Mu Cheng, playfully interacting with the creature.

"Zhang Xian, what’s its name?" Mu Cheng asked.

"Umm...it..." Zhang Xian thought for a moment, "It doesn’t seem to have a name yet, from now on let’s call it Xiao Huo."

"Hmm, Xiao Huo." Mu Cheng nodded her agreement.

Sheltered in Mu Cheng’s arms, Xiao Huo stuck its tongue out at Zhang Xian, appearing to be quite smug.

...

Within a certain villa in Tiandu City.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Cao Ge asked, his brow furrowed, "You went into the mountains and encountered a large python and three of our brothers died?"

The three middle-aged men nodded. Even now, thinking about it set their hearts racing. That python was absolutely terrifying, and the three brothers were instantly crushed to death.

"Are you sure you’re not pulling my leg?" Cao Ge asked coldly.

If the men had said they ran into a large python without making it sound so horrifying, he might have believed them.

A python that crushes people to death? Really? Really?

"Young Master Ge, we’re telling you the truth, we even took a video. But when Third Brother got crushed to death, we didn’t dare to retrieve his phone, it’s probably destroyed," one of the middle-aged men said.

"What use is it telling me this?" Cao Ge glared at the middle-aged man. "What about Zhang Xian? What’s his status?"

"We didn’t dare to wait there." The middle-aged man shivered slightly, "but given the size of the python, we believe Zhang Xian has likely not survived."

"What do you mean, ’likely’?" Cao Ge waved his hand, somewhat irritated, "Go back and investigate further. I want an accurate report, not conjectures."

The three middle-aged men nodded repeatedly, then turned and left.

Cao Ge sat on the sofa, his face pale and his mouth twitching incessantly.

During his stay in Yanjing, he had kept an eye on Tiandu. Initially, he didn’t think of coming here, as Zhang Xian didn’t warrant his personal attention.

But as time went on, he noticed something odd. Instead of worsening, the relationship between Mo Shaoyun and Zhang Xian was getting stronger. Moreover, Zhang Xian seemed to possess significant abilities.

Once the situation spiraled out of control, he couldn’t sit idly by anymore and decided to personally kill Zhang Xian and deal with Mo Shaoyun.

...

After a few days, the antiseptic medicine gained a considerable reputation in Tiandu. Those who were observing the situation initially had started acting, and more and more people were coming to Humanity Clinic for scar removal.

Zhu Wen’s abilities were limited; he could immediately sell the antiseptic medicine to those with fresh injuries, but he didn’t have the ability like Zhang Xian, who could directly cut out old scars.

Over three days, a large number of people visited Humanity Clinic. He could only treat less than a third of them, leaving issues of more than a dozen people unresolved.

Fortunately, Zhang Xian returned in time, relieving him of his burdens.

Sitting behind the desk, Zhu Wen did a quick calculation and said, "Zhang Xian, we’ve run out of the antiseptic medicine you prepared. We urgently need more, as we have over ten people waiting for scar removal!"

"Um, let’s put the medicine aside for now, I’m going to teach you some anesthetization techniques," Zhang Xian said. "As an experienced doctor, you can’t leave everything to me."

Zhu Wen felt a little embarrassed. How could he save face after being lectured by this young man?

But he wasn’t angry. The youngster did deserve some respect.

"Every acupoint in the body serves a different purpose, different techniques can bring about different effects. Acupoints are static while people are dynamic. Different techniques and combinations of acupoints, and the order in which they are stimulated, can reveal some hidden functionalities of the acupoints, like anaesthesia." Zhang Xian explained. "I’m going to teach you a few anaesthesia methods, remember them well."

Zhu Wen kept nodding, thrilled. With Zhang Xian’s expertise, even a casual direction could benefit him enormously.

However, soon, he became disheartened. After listening to Zhang Xian’s explanation, he felt completely lost and struggled to remember anything. Human acupoints were complicated, and it was impossible for him to remember them all at once. He needed extensive rote learning and practice to master it. It was mind-boggling how Zhang Xian managed to memorize so much, extending far beyond what he himself had learned!

No wonder Zhang Xian’s medical skills were so formidable.

"Um, I’ll go and prepare the medicine first, and then I’ll write down the explanations for you to study at your leisure. As long as you practice acupuncture correctly, you can proceed step by step, just avoiding deadly acupoints. Also, don’t panic when encountering patients, rest assured, and do not worry about potential dangers. As long as they don’t die on the spot due to improper acupuncture, I can guarantee there will be no side effects." Knowing that Zhu Wen couldn’t memorize it all at once, Zhang Xian planned to prepare the medicine first.

"What is being formidable? This is being formidable! As long as the patients don’t die on the spot, he can guarantee my safety. What a strong self-confidence." Zhu Wen muttered to himself in awe.

Among the narrow circle of medics, his skills were decent but not top-notch. He’d met a few formidable practitioners over the years, but he never even dared to dream of meeting such an amazing person like Zhang Xian!

My dear granddaughter, you better make an extra effort, don’t let such a formidable grandson-in-law slip through your fingers. If you can’t secure Zhang Xian, your grandfather won’t rest even in death!

"Doctor Zhu, Doctor Zhu, has little God Doctor Zhang returned yet?"

A stylishly dressed, sexy woman swayed into Humanity Clinic, twirling a lock of hair between her fingers.

"Indeed, we’ve been waiting for three days."

More women entered Humanity Clinic, put their hands on their hips and stood in front of Zhu Wen.

"Ahem, ladies, please don’t worry. Little God Doctor Zhang has returned..."

"Ah? He’s back? Where is he? I need to see the Little God Doctor." Without waiting for a response, the fashionable woman swayed further into the clinic

"Wait, wait..." Zhu Wen rushed to stop the woman, "Little God Doctor is preparing medicine in the back, would you mind waiting a bit?"

"Ah? Wait again?"

"Indeed, we’ve waited three days already."

"No, go and fetch Little God Doctor for me. I can’t wait any longer for him to treat me!"

The women were very disgruntled and kept grumbling unceasingly.

Zhu Wen was sweating profusely. Women these days were indeed terrifying. One was more ruthless than the other. They came for the treatment but acted like they were the bosses. Difficult to please!
