Chapter 69: Touching the Fragrance
In fact, Xiao Yun is someone who is reluctant to casually hit women.
The first time he struck Feng Wushuang, it was out of overwhelming anger and impulsiveness, a retaliatory slap. This time he hit Xiao Ling purely out of the need to save someone, as he had no other method available to him…
Looking at the various questioning, angry, and disdainful gazes directed at him, Xiao Yun truly felt a sense of collapse. He thought to himself, please don’t look at me like that; I’m just a simple young man from the countryside, my heart as pure as untainted stream water!
Ahem…
Xiao Yun awkwardly cleared his throat twice and turned to look at Xiao Ling.
He rubbed his nose and forced a harmless smile onto his face, explaining, “Madam Shen, Scented Herb is indeed a rare treasure, but do you know that it is also an extremely yin object? It only grows in desolate graves, and therefore often has some kind of evil Evil Spirit parasitizing it.”
“Evil Spirit?” Xiao Ling felt a chill run down her spine, her face turning pale.
“Indeed,” Xiao Yun continued. “Any Scented Herb that has an Evil Spirit attached to it is harmful to the human body. If I’m not mistaken, while you were chewing on the Scented Herb, the Evil Spirit was absorbing your bodily toxins, thus enhancing its spiritual power. When it entered Shen Ruolan’s body, it quickly transformed into Ghost Face Sores!”
Xiao Ling’s mind was racing; she exclaimed anxiously, “Are you saying I have bodily toxins?”
“Yes,” he replied. “In fact, everyone has a certain level of toxins in their body. This primarily comes from two sources: one is metabolic waste produced after food digestion and absorption; the other is various pollutants accumulated from the environment. The amount of bodily toxins varies from person to person; you understand!”
Xiao Yun then shifted the topic. When he first arrived at the hospital and entered Shen Ruolan’s ward, he was shocked to find that she had developed Ghost Face Sores. Immediately, he thought of the Scented Herb.
At the same time, he quickly realized that this particular Scented Herb was infested with an Evil Spirit.
The Evil Spirit must consume the saliva containing body toxins from others in order to transform into the Ghost Face Sores. Xiao Yun detected a strange fragrance on the Ghost Face Sores, but this scent definitely did not come from Shen Ruolan.
He thought of the usage of Scented Herb and naturally recalled Shen Ruolan's mother.
Shen Ruolan's mother, Xiao Ling, was particularly fond of beauty treatments, so she likely spent a considerable amount of money on beauty products. Many of the beauty products available on the market today have certain negative effects on the human body. With frequent use, toxins would naturally accumulate within her body. These toxins were exactly what the Evil Spirit favored.
To verify whether these toxins originated from Xiao Ling, and to find an effective remedy, Xiao Yun reluctantly slapped Xiao Ling. At the moment her face flushed with blood, he reached out to sense the fragrance and finally uncovered the source of Shen Ruolan's strange illness...
Sensing fragrance?
Hearing this novel term, everyone was momentarily stunned.
At the same time, those present understood one thing: to sense a beautiful woman's body fragrance, one must first slap her hard across the face.
But only this peculiar kid would dare to do such a thing.
Who else would have the courage to lay hands on the Mayor's Wife?
"This is how it is," Xiao Yun explained his actions. "Madam Shen, currently Ruo Lan's condition is severe. The mutation in her skull is caused by the Evil Spirit. If we do not treat it in time, I fear that within a week, the Evil Spirit will absorb all of her True Qi, and at that point, her life will come to an end. The most terrifying part is that the Evil Spirit will then surge with spiritual power and retaliate against Shen Ruolan's biological mother. At that time, even a Great Immortal would be unable to save her..."
Everyone present gaped in shock once again.
Especially Xiao Ling, whose face turned as white as paper and trembled all over.
When she thought about how the Evil Spirit would eventually retaliate against her, she immediately felt as if she were experiencing a fate worse than death.
In that moment, Xiao Yun, this rogue, completely changed his image in her mind.
He is her savior!
"Mr. Xiao, I misunderstood you. Please, save my daughter! I... I will agree to anything you want!" Xiao Ling pleaded desperately to Xiao Yun.
At that moment, the arrogance of the Mayor's Wife was nowhere to be seen on her.
"What can you give me?" Xiao Yun retorted sharply.
Xiao Ling was momentarily speechless; she didn't know what Xiao Yun would ask of her.
Money, right. Who doesn't love money?
Xiao Ling eagerly said, "Uh, how much? Mr. Xiao, just name your price!"
"I don't want your money!" Xiao Yun flatly refused.
He doesn't want money?
Then... what does he want?
Xiao Ling became anxious again.
In this situation, Xiao Yun had to give Huang Siyuan some face; after all, as soon as Zhu Wanyu arrived at the hospital, he arranged a position for her as the office director.
"Ms. Xiao, if you really want to thank someone, thank Director Huang."
Xiao Yun then turned to Huang Siyuan and said, "Let's go to Shen Ruolan's ward!"
"Okay!" Huang Siyuan, who had been nervously nibbling on his fingers a moment ago, was now so excited he was trembling all over. Upon hearing Xiao Yun's words to Xiao Ling, he immediately sprang up as if injected with adrenaline.
In the intensive care unit, Xiao Yun arrived at Shen Ruolan's bedside.
He reached out and unfastened the button of her collar, and the sight before him was shocking.
On her chest, there was a palm-sized black mark resembling a human face, complete with eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth. This was what Xiao Yun referred to as Ghost Face Sores.
The Ghost Face Sores seemed to sense the approaching danger and began to writhe menacingly, its eyes emitting beams of Green Light.
The people surrounding them were so frightened that they each took a step back.
"Mr. Xiao, what... happened?" Xiao Ling could hardly believe that such a ghostly face had appeared on her daughter. She instinctively reached out and tightly grasped one of Xiao Yun's hands.
Xiao Yun replied to Xiao Ling, "To untie the bell, one must find the person who tied it. Ms. Xiao, this thing is still interested in your body toxins. I need to expel the toxins from your body first and then use your toxins to treat it!"
"Alright, Mr. Xiao, I trust you!" Hearing that he could help her expel the toxins, she felt relieved.
Suddenly, Xiao Yun reached for her ample chest. Xiao Ling was taken aback at first, her face instantly flushed red. Then she noticed his hand wandering to other parts of her body.
The onlookers couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths. This was indeed Xiao Yun; if it were anyone else, who would dare to act so recklessly on the Mayor's Wife?
At that moment, she felt a surge of heat within her, and beads of sweat began to pour out. Xiao Yun casually wiped the sweat from her face, which turned out to be black and emitted an unpleasant odor.
Xiao Yun smiled slightly and slapped the sweat onto the Ghost Face Sores. With his left hand forming a strange gesture and his right hand's index and middle fingers together, he chanted softly before suddenly shouting: "Evil Spirit, quickly submit and be bound!"
Immediately, a beam of white light shot from the joined index and middle fingers of Xiao Yun's right hand towards the Ghost Face Sores on Shen Ruolan's chest.
"Eeek..."
The mark resembling a baby's face on Shen Ruolan let out a terrified scream.
The little bell that had been staying in the Storage Ring became excited again: "Kid, quickly catch that thing for me. It will be beneficial for this beauty to cultivate into a human. Hehehe... I can become human a hundred years earlier!"
"Is that true? Alright, I'll get it for you!" Xiao Yun replied to the little bell with his thoughts.
Xiao Yun unleashed a wave of Spiritual Energy towards Shen Ruolan's chest, causing the Ghost Face Spider to let out a terrible scream and transform into a wisp of black mist, seemingly trying to escape. As Xiao Yun sent another wave of Spiritual Energy, the Ghost Face Spider fell to the ground with a thud.
Everyone's gaze turned to the ground, where there was actually a Human-Faced Spider. Xiao Yun picked up the Human-Faced Spider and tossed it into the ring to let the little bell handle it.
"Alright, Miss Shen is fine now. She can rest in the hospital for half a month and then be discharged!" Xiao Yun said, putting his hands in his pockets and stepping aside.
At that moment, Shen Ruolan slowly opened her eyes and asked, "Where am I?"
Seeing her daughter awake, Xiao Ling rushed forward and hugged her tightly, crying with excitement: "Ruo Lan, you're awake? My precious daughter..."
"Mayor Shen, the Young Lady has woken up. She has finally been saved... Ah, you're coming over right away?" Huang Siyuan was excitedly reporting the news to Shen Tieshan.
Huang Siyuan hung up the phone and immediately announced to everyone: "Mayor Shen is coming over soon. He wants to personally thank the divine doctor who saved his daughter!"
Upon hearing that the mayor was coming to the hospital, everyone cheered.
However, when Mayor Shen Tieshan appeared at Shen Ruolan's hospital room door, everyone realized that they didn't know when Xiao Yun had quietly left...
