"Xue'er, you're accusing me wrongly. It's not that I won't let this pretty boy get up—it's his own deficiency! He just can't help it, gets too excited, and loves to kneel down. I can't stop him even if I try!" Zhang Xiaohao said, looking completely innocent.
Hearing his words, Zhou Pengfei almost spewed a mouthful of old blood, furious that it was clearly Zhang Xiaohao who was harshly gripping his hand, making him look bad! And yet he accuses me of being weak, you little beast, just wait, I, Zhou Pengfei, swear, I will make you die a death where you can't even be buried.
"I'll ask you one more time, are you going to let go?" Cheng Tianxue said, suppressing an urge to explode with disgust.
The goodwill Zhang Xiaohao had barely managed to accumulate instantly vanished again.
"Since Xue'er has spoken, I'll let him go," Zhang Xiaohao said as he released Zhou Pengfei's hand.
He sneered internally, this pretty face dares to covet my woman, I'll make you so weak within three days.
As he spoke, Zhang Xiaohao summoned the Shennong Battle Sky Technique, a golden True Qi appearing in his palm. He deliberately slapped Zhou Pengfei's shoulders hard, saying, "Pretty boy, you're just not up to it! You need more tonics!"
Having said that, Zhang Xiaohao finally let him go.
"Hmph!" Zhou Pengfei snorted coldly, his face looking very ugly. After a moment, he had a gentle smile back on his face.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohao gave him a thumbs up, secretly thinking how quickly he could change his face.
Soon, an elderly figure with a dignified air, wearing a white long robe, walked out of the room.
"Divine Doctor Mo, hello, I am Mr. Cheng's granddaughter. How is my grandfather now?" Seeing Divine Doctor Mo emerge, Cheng Tianxue hurried over.
Divine Doctor Mo stroked his beard expressionlessly and said gravely, "I've practiced medicine for many years and cured many difficult diseases! I have never failed even once. But today, Mr. Cheng's illness is something I have never seen before. Not to speak arrogantly, but faced with such an odd disease, nobody, whether from this country or abroad, has any solution!"
"Divine Doctor Mo, is there really no way at all?" Cheng Tianxue asked anxiously.
"Yes, Divine Doctor Mo, please think of something!" Zhou Pengfei said, feigning concern.
"Alas! I have truly done all I could. Against such a terminal disease, no one can help. Miss Cheng, you should prepare yourself mentally and make arrangements for Mr. Cheng as soon as possible," shaking his head, Divine Doctor Mo said arrogantly before he turned to leave.
"You're too weak! If you can't do it, don't make such definitive claims! If you're incompetent, don't put on airs! You act like a joker who, after all the fuss, suddenly claims it's not that his medical skills are poor! It's because your grandfather has an incurable disease!" Zhang Xiaohao stepped forward and mocked.
"You cheeky brat, who are you talking about? Speak clearly if you dare! Today, you won't leave this place until you make yourself clear!" Divine Doctor Mo's beard bristled as he spoke angrily.
"Divine Doctor Mo, you are a man of integrity. Don't stoop to his level, this arrogant kid! Maybe he himself is a Divine Doctor too," Zhou Pengfei said with a smile.
The words he spoke, however, severely stabbed Zhang Xiaohao.
"Zhang Xiaohao, what are you trying to do? I'm ordering you right now to apologize to Divine Doctor Mo immediately! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you," Cheng Tianxue said coldly.
"Woman, shut your mouth! I am your man, and you have no right to speak here! If you dare to interrupt again, I'll make sure you can't get out of bed for three days!"
After scolding Cheng Tianxue, Zhang Xiaohao looked scornfully at Divine Doctor Mo and said, "Old fool, I'm talking about you. Your medical skills are inadequate, your learning is superficial, and yet you engage in deceiving the world and stealing fame! You still have the nerve to spout nonsense here! I'm embarrassed for you. And you, pretty boy, don't think I don't know about your malicious intentions, only Cheng Tianxue is naive enough to be deceived by you! You think you can compete with me? You're still too green! You were right about one thing, old man, I am indeed a Divine Doctor, unlike some people whose medical skills are diluted!"
"You've enraged me deeply! I have been practicing medicine for many years, especially since three years ago when I achieved Great Success in my medical skills, I have never been insulted like this! Boy, you dare to insult me and my medical skills. Since you admit yourself to be a Divine Doctor, don't say I bullied you by using my influence to suppress you. If you can cure Mr. Cheng's illness, I will take you as my master! From then on, I will treat you with the respect owed to a master, even if you ask me to carry water for washing your feet, I will not complain!", the Divine Doctor Mo declared, his eyes shining with a fierce light.
Interrupting himself, Divine Doctor Mo paused before adding, "If you fail to cure Mr. Cheng, don't blame me for accusing you of defamation, ensuring you rot in jail!"
"Divine Doctor Mo, please calm down, on behalf of Zhang Xiaohao I apologize to you!" Cheng Tianxue said.
"Miss Cheng, this doesn't concern you. This is about my reputation. There needs to be a resolution today! Otherwise, if word gets out, how could I continue in the medical community with any dignity?" Divine Doctor Mo coldly refused.
Zhang Xiaohao walked indifferently to Cheng Tianxue, who instinctively stepped back and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I already told you, women shouldn't interfere in matters between men! Since you didn't take my words seriously, I need to teach you a lesson." Saying so, Zhang Xiaohao grabbed her arm and forcefully pulled her over.
He placed her across his knee and started to smack her harshly.
"Ah! Bastard! What are you doing? Let me go!" Cheng Tianxue screamed.
Without a word, Zhang Xiaohao continued spanking her for over twenty times until he saw she was about to cry, then he finally let her go.
"Listen well, I don't need you talking out of turn here! If you make another mistake, it won't be just a spanking."
After speaking, Zhang Xiaohao scornfully looked at Divine Doctor Mo and said arrogantly, "Remember what you just declared, if you dare go back on your word, I will ruin you, leaving you destitute and scorned by everyone as a street rat!"
After finishing, Zhang Xiaohao strode into Mr. Cheng's room.
Divine Doctor Mo snorted coldly and quickly followed.
In the room, Mr. Cheng lay peacefully on the bed, covered with a white quilt, which could not hide his wise aura.
Zhang Xiaohao looked seriously at Mr. Cheng for a moment, then withdrew his gaze, reached into his pocket, and with a thought, retrieved a set of meticulously crafted silver needles from the Shennong Ring he wore on his hand. There were twelve needles in total, created according to the specifications recorded in the Shennong Medical Skill.
Speaking of the Shennong Ring, it seemed destined by fate; the ring, originally discarded like trash under Master Old Ghost's bed, had gone unnoticed by Zhang Xiaohao.
Until he was five years old, when he successfully advanced to the Body Tempering Realm with the Shennong Battle Sky Technique, guided by some mysterious force, he obtained this ring filled with vast storage space.
