Xiao Wu Again Begs Cao Mengde to Treat Tang San
If not for Xiao Wu's month-long course of treatment,
Tang San would have wanted to leave Spirit City long ago.
As the saying went,
out of sight, out of mind.
With Cao Mengde out of sight, he could put his mind at ease and prepare an antidote to treat his aching back.
Damn it.
After all this time,
his back still hurt just as much.
Every time he went out,
he had to lie on a stretcher.
What a damned strange illness.
Inside Rejuvenation Hall,
Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong appeared one after another.
At the sight of the three beauties, Cao Mengde's heart stirred with excitement.
He waved to the neighbors.
"Everyone, go on home. Even if I become a god, I'll remain in the mortal world for the time being."
"There's no need to stand on ceremony. I'm about to start seeing patients."
The crowd immediately stirred.
"Lord Mengde is such a good man."
"That's right. He's become a god, and he could clearly go to the Divine Realm, yet he's still willing to stay in the mortal world. What a good man."
Cao Mengde looked at Xiao Wu and the other two.
"Come on in."
The three made their way to the consultation room, familiar with the route.
"Lord Mengde, please treat Xiao Wu first. Rongrong and I will wait in the hall," Zhu Zhuqing said.
Little did they know,
Cao Mengde had been waiting for this chance for a long time.
This was the first time all three of them had appeared together.
How could he miss such a heaven-sent opportunity?
"It's all right. I can treat all three of you at the same time."
Huh?
He could treat several people at once?
The three stared in astonishment.
They thought Cao Mengde was truly impressive.
They walked into the consultation room together.
Cao Mengde had long since made his preparations. He took out two kinds of props.
Three carrots and three blindfolds.
The carrots were much the same.
But the three blindfolds were different colors: black, blue, and pink.
It was clear
that Cao Mengde had put careful thought into the design.
After all, wearing blindfolds of different colors brought different sensations.
"Zhu Zhuqing, put on the black one. Rongrong, put on the blue one. Xiao Wu, put on the pink one."
"I made these especially for you. They'll keep the medicine from irritating your eyes."
All three had been through this before.
Naturally, they said nothing more and put on their blindfolds one after another.
"You three sit on the sofa. I'll feed you the medicine at the same time, which will save time."
"Mm."
The three followed Cao Mengde's instructions
and sat down on the sofa in order.
After all, the medicine was corrosive to their hands and very unusual.
Only Cao Mengde could hold it, so they could only wait to drink it.
"Xiao Wu, you're first..."
"Zhu Zhuqing, your turn..."
"Rongrong, hurry..."
Cao Mengde had long since put the fake props away.
Under the pretext of treating them, he frantically satisfied his desires with the three of them.
"Rongrong, you girls are so slow."
"Summon the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and support one another."
"That way, you can drink the medicine sooner and finish your treatment early."
Ning Rongrong was startled at first.
Then understanding dawned.
That was right.
Why hadn't she thought of that?
Without another word,
Ning Rongrong stirred her thoughts, and a dazzling Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared.
Nine Treasures Turn Into Glazed Glass.
First: Strength.
Second: Speed.
Whew...
Cao Mengde's expression changed dramatically, and even his breathing grew heavy.
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda truly provided the ultimate support.
Not only did the three grow stronger, but their speed also became astonishing.
This was so satisfying.
That was more like it.
This was the right way to use the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
It seemed Ning Rongrong was a precious treasure. He had to keep her by his side in the future and use her ultimate support to increase his own pleasure.
This time,
with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support,
the three, who usually had to work for an hour before they could draw out the medicine,
this time
got their wish and drank the medicine in just half an hour.
"Lord Mengde, we'll be going now." Ning Rongrong prepared to take her leave.
But just then,
Xiao Wu hesitated.
At last,
for Tang San's sake, she pleaded with Cao Mengde once more.
"Lord Mengde, you've become a god now."
"I hope you'll be magnanimous and overlook the offenses of lesser people. Please forgive Third Brother's father for acting on impulse, and treat Third Brother. Sorry for the trouble."
Cao Mengde slowly sat down on the sofa.
Resting as he spoke, he answered,
"Xiao Wu, I've already made an exception by continuing to treat the three of you."
"Tang Hao didn't know what was good for him. He deserves to pay the price."
For a moment,
the three remained where they were.
As his companions, they all hoped Tang San would recover.
But...
judging by Cao Mengde's attitude, he was unwilling to help no matter what.
"Lord Mengde, if you're willing to treat Third Brother, Xiao Wu... Xiao Wu can give you the Soul Bone in her body."
As soon as she said that,
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were utterly bewildered.
Xiao Wu had a Soul Bone in her body?
As a transmigrator, Cao Mengde naturally knew what Xiao Wu meant.
He said casually,
"Xiao Wu, you've been coming and going right under my nose. Did you really think I didn't know you were a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that had taken human form?"
What?
Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that had taken human form?
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were stunned with fright.
Xiao Wu felt despondent.
This was the only option she had left.
In Tang San's current state, even cultivation had become a major problem, so how could he talk of growing stronger?
For Tang San's sake, she could only offer everything she had.
"Lord Mengde, I know you're a god now and have no need of my Soul Ring, but you should have a use for my Soul Bone. Kill Xiao Wu and take the Soul Bone."
"Xiao Wu..." Ning Rongrong's face turned pale, and she hurriedly grasped Xiao Wu's hand.
Xiao Wu's expression was bitter.
She glanced at Ning Rongrong, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing.
"Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, I'm sorry."
"I lied to you."
Fortunately, after spending years together,
even though Xiao Wu was a Soul Beast in human form, aside from their momentary shock, they felt no aversion to her.
"Xiao Wu, don't say any more."
"You'll always be Xiao Wu, a sister to Zhu Zhuqing and me."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded as well.
"That's right."
Xiao Wu's heart warmed at receiving her companions' acceptance.
Even if she died, she would have no complaints or regrets.
"Lord Mengde, do it."
A mere Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?
To tell the truth,
in Cao Mengde's eyes, it was trash.
"Miss Xiao Wu, if I'd wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago."
"The Lovesick Heartbreak Red can conceal your presence as a Soul Beast. That trick might fool others, but it can't fool me, Cao Mengde."
When his words fell,
Xiao Wu's heart skipped a beat.
She had thought Cao Mengde had only seen through her identity after becoming a god.
It turned out he had known she was a Soul Beast back when he was a Titled Douluo.
"Lord Mengde, this is all Xiao Wu can do. If you're willing to treat Third Brother, as long as it's within my power, I'll do whatever you ask."
Cao Mengde laughed.
"Xiao Wu, you're truly devoted and loyal."
"How about this? In view of your sincerity, tell Tang Hao for me that as long as he's willing to start at the north of the city, bow three times and kowtow nine times all the way, calling out, 'I, Tang Hao, apologize to Lord Mengde,' and kneel his way to the entrance of Rejuvenation Hall, I'll treat Tang San."
Xiao Wu and the other two were greatly shocked.
Wasn't that naked humiliation for the Clear Sky Douluo?
But just then,
Cao Mengde reminded them,
"I don't care what others think of me."
"But this whole thing started because Tang Hao was showing off. Anyone would have a temper."
"This is my temper. Can you understand that?"
"If you can't, I can give you an example. Suppose I slept with the three of you right now. You'd surely hate me, wouldn't you?"
