"Cockroaches are no good, you absolutely can't eat cockroaches!"

"Young man, you're not afraid of life's hardships, so why would you be afraid of swallowing a cockroach?"

"Didn't you say you'd do anything for your brother? You're afraid of centipedes and cockroaches, but the miracle doctor is treating you, why are you so disgusted?"

"Yeah, yeah, you're not only ungrateful, but you also keep looking down on people. You didn't make up your background, did you?"

You never tell the truth!

"Could he have tricked me?"

With Old Man Liu leading the way and two Auntie Fangirls assisting, the group quickly turned on the Little Liar after just a few words.

"My background is definitely real!"

But I don't think my illness is that serious!

"I know the miracle doctor's prescriptions are unorthodox, but eating cockroaches and centipedes isn't just unorthodox, it's wicked!"

The swindler was surrounded, sweating profusely.

[Negative emotions +100]

"Look at what you're saying! You're obviously ignorant. Folk remedies can cure all diseases, and the more unorthodox the remedy, the better it is!"

"The miracle doctor's centipedes can suck pus and blood, and his cockroaches are sure to get rid of all pests!"

"Why are you wasting your breath talking to him? Let's each open one side of his mouth and shove it in!"

"Treat him; it's for his own good. How can he refuse?"

Old Man Liu spoke, he pried open one of their mouths and stuffed the cockroach inside.

I'm so unlucky to have run into you two old bastards!

The Little Liar struggled, his veins bulging.

You old folks, weren't you just complaining of aches and pains in your backs and legs?

How come when things started going wrong, my legs suddenly stopped trembling and I stopped panting?

When the cockroach went into his mouth, he felt as if something was burrowing into his trachea, and his vision blurred as if he had seen a living Yama.

[Negative emotions +100]

He smiled!

"That miracle doctor's folk remedy is truly amazing!"

"Young man, how are you feeling right now?"

The elderly people surrounded the Little Liar, their faces filled with anticipation.

The Little Liar is like a mute eating bitter herbs, suffering in silence.

"I..."

"I feel terrible all over!"

Feeling unwell?

The miracle doctor's prescription didn't work?

Everyone looked at Xu Yi with suspicion.

The Little Liar perked up and stared at Xu Yi with a malicious look.

You brat, I've endured all this humiliation and finally exposed your reputation as a miracle doctor!

Now let's see how you explain this!

I've exposed your reputation as a miracle doctor, and I'll make you pay tenfold or a hundredfold.

As the crowd grew increasingly suspicious, the Livestream Viewers began to worry for Xu Yi.

However, Xu Yi simply shrugged.

Who says it's useless?

"Folk remedies, folk remedies! Since they're folk remedies, they're custom-made, and each person will experience a different effect!"

"The centipede ate it, the cockroach ate it, and I still have Di Laizi, Donkey Dung Balls, and hey, you're in luck today, there are even two Cigarette Butts!"

Xu Yi took out the Wandering Doctor’s Treasure Bag and pulled out one ancestral item after another.

The Little Liar was dumbfounded.

He thought cockroaches and centipedes were the limit, but he never expected Xu Yi to have so many more treasures.

"Seriously? Are you crazy? Why are you carrying all these weird and wonderful things around? What are you trying to do?"

"You don't usually go to public places or go through security checks, so how are you going to explain all this stuff to security?"

The Little Liar completely broke down.

"As everyone knows, as a doctor, it's not unreasonable for me to carry some personal medical supplies, is it?"

"Not excessive!"

Xu Yi gave a casual explanation, and everyone nodded repeatedly, believing him immediately.

There's no way around it; he's a legendary doctor, after all, so he must have some secret remedies that he doesn't share with outsiders!

"Miracle doctor, why are you explaining all this to him? Just feed him!"

"So many folk remedies, they're practically all from the maternal grandmother's side, I refuse to believe they can't cure him!"

"Young man, you're in for a treat today!"

Old Man Liu said excitedly, prying open the Little Liar's chin, his veins bulging.

With a snap, the Little Liar's jaw dislocated and could never be closed again.

"Aba aba!"

The Little Liar was sweating profusely, pleading and terrified.

He's already lucky to have survived eating cockroaches and centipedes, why would he keep eating them?

I'm not lying anymore.

I will never be a liar again!

"Ah!"

Repentance comes too late, regret comes too late.

In a sharp pain, the Little Liar fainted, a trace of fear of the miracle doctor still lingering on his face.

[Negative emotions +100]

"Young Divine Doctor, it seems the young man has fainted. Was the medicine too strong?"

Old Man Liu looked at Xu Yi and hurriedly asked.

The Little Liar's eyelids twitched.

"I'm a miracle doctor, I'm an authority, are you the authority?"

"You've only eaten this little bit, and you can't take it anymore?"

"It's obviously an act."

Xu Yi said calmly, looking directly at the Little Liar's eyelids, and exposed him.

He didn't faint; he was just pretending to be dead.

"Aaaaaah!"

The Little Liar opened his eyes, unable to speak, but the hatred on his face was undisguised.

A wallet fell to the ground.

Clatter

The money inside fell out.

The Little Liar was in tears.

"What did you say? We can't hear you!"

"Old Man Liu, isn't that obvious? You dislocated his jaw, how could he possibly speak?"

"Don't worry, we're listening. I understand what you mean. You mean you want to thank the miracle doctor and pay for his medicine after you get better?"

"You're such a kind child!"

"Let me see how much money is in here?"

"Wow, there's at least ten or twenty thousand in this wallet. Kid, are you planning to donate it all to the miracle doctor?"

"This child is so kind-hearted; he was just cured and he already wanted to thank the miracle doctor!"

"Why has this child fainted again?"

Old Man Liu, caught up in his own emotions, moved himself to tears. But when he turned around, he found that the Little Liar had already fainted, with tears still glistening in the corners of his eyes.

Dude, can you please stop making things worse for yourself?

This is my savings for my funeral!

When did I ever say I was going to give it to Xu Yi?

I can't take this money!

Old Man Liu offered him money, Xu Yi declined.

"If you don't take it, wouldn't you be wasting the child's good intentions?"

Old Man Liu was extremely excited.

What a miraculous doctor!

Other doctors all charge money, but this Young Divine Doctor is truly selfless.

"In that case, shall I take it?"

Xu Yi said, took the wallet, put the money inside into his pocket, and casually tossed the wallet to the Little Liar.

My wallet!

The Little Liar woke up, saw the wallet, and was overjoyed, but then realized there was no money inside and froze instantly.

Where is my money?

"I finally managed to scam 20,000 yuan, and it's all gone?"

The impact was so great that his jaw actually recovered completely, and he was even able to shout out his words.

The Little Liar looked up and saw Xu Yi counting money.

One sheet after another, each one a testament to his hard work.

"Give me my money back!"

"You dare to try and fool me? Don't you even know if you can afford to mess with A Gui of Erdao Street?"

"Believe it or not, I'll stab you with a knife?"

The Little Liar screamed, attempting to assassinate Xu Yi.

Xu Yi glanced at the Little Liar with a slight smile, then took a step back.

Old Man Liu and the others stepped forward, their faces full of displeasure, and formed a human wall, each carrying a cane.
