Ultimate Village Doctor

``` Chapter Six Hundred Thirty-Nine When the Rakshasa Lady caught sight of Wang Chao's injuries, she knew that he was certain to die; even the Netherworld Holy Water wouldn't save him. However, the impossible still happened. Long Xiaoshan simply fed Wang Chao an unknown elixir pill and after applying needles to him for a while, he pulled Wang Chao back from the grasp of the Grim Reaper. She watched Long Xiaoshan intently, having harbored no good feelings towards this fellow until now. Bold as brass, he dares to flirt with anyone, even making a joke of her, the Rakshasa Lady. At first glance, he was the type of spoiled young master. She had seen many such people before, surely good-for-nothings relying on their family background, lawless and lacking any sense of awe, daring to do anything and flirt with anyone, not taking anyone seriously. But what she couldn't have imagined was, that Long Xiaoshan possessed such powerful medical skills that it bordered on divine. She could be sure that not even Yingluo, the best healer of the Yellow Springs Palace, could compare to Long Xiaoshan. What exactly was his background? For someone so young to have such divine medical skills, the Rakshasa Lady no longer regarded Long Xiaoshan as a good-for-nothing spoiled young master. No joke, such medical prowess was probably rare to find throughout the whole of Hua Country. With such medical skills alone, Long Xiaoshan's value surpassed that of Wang Chao. While the Rakshasa Lady was staring intently at Long Xiaoshan, he stood up, hands clasped behind his back, and leisurely said to Yellow Spring Pursuing Moon, "Hey, my little wife, he's alive now, so shouldn't you be fulfilling your promise? Tsk tsk, not bad, not bad, gaining a child bride for free. First, come back home with me to learn some manners. Although, with your frail body, consummating the marriage is out of the question, but as a child bride, you can still manage the rough work like cooking, washing clothes, and taking care of your in-laws." The face of Yellow Spring Pursuing Moon turned shades of green and white, which was quite a sight to behold. Although she was indeed young, she was already fifteen years old. It was only because she had a naturally youthful face and had developed later that she seemed to be only twelve or thirteen. She might not understand much about men and women, but she knew a little. Not to mention becoming someone else's child bride. Now being looked at with that expression by Long Xiaoshan, she was incredibly flustered. Usually sharp-tongued, she couldn't express herself now. And upon hearing Long Xiaoshan's demands for her to cook, wash clothes, and serve his parents, she immediately exploded. After all, she was the princess of the Yellow Springs Palace and was expected to do this sort of work, fit only for servants. "I, I won't go. Who wants to be your child bride, who wants to serve you by doing the laundry and cooking and taking care of your parents; I don't want that at all. What do you take me, Yellow Spring Pursuing Moon, for? Sister Rakshasa, kill him for me, right now, don't wait for three days, I want this detestable fellow dead now," Yellow Spring Pursuing Moon pointed at Long Xiaoshan and shouted angrily. The Rakshasa Lady's brow furrowed. Truth be told, if Yellow Spring Pursuing Moon had asked her to kill Long Xiaoshan earlier, she would have acted without the slightest hesitation. But Long Xiaoshan had displayed such extraordinary and saintly medical skills. It made Rakshasa Lady hesitant. Firstly, a person with such extraordinary medical skills was rare in the world, and it would be a pity to kill him. ``` Secondly, being so young and possessing such strong medical skills, it was absolutely impossible that Long Xiaoshan didn't have a formidable figure guiding him from behind. Someone capable of cultivating a young Divine Doctor like him, his master's medical skills must be incredibly strong. Divine Doctors are the last people anyone would want to offend, for they have saved many lives and certainly made connections with many masters. Even if they are not personally powerful, the force they can mobilize is astonishing. Yellow Springs Palace certainly feared nothing, but rashly offending such a person was foolish. Hence, the Rakshasa Lady did not make a move. Yellow Spring Pursuing Moon, seeing that the Rakshasa Lady still did not act, shouted, "Sister Rakshasa, why aren't you making your move? Do you really want me to be his child bride? I don't want that at all." "Miss, rest assured, I will definitely not let you become his child bride," Rakshasa turned her head and stared coldly at Long Xiaoshan, "And don't try to scare our Miss. You should be clear that with Zhuyue's status, it's impossible for her to be anyone's child bride. The bet we made earlier was just a joke." Nie Hongxue then came over and said hurriedly, "Mr. Long, I think we should let it go. Miss Netherworld is still young, with a noble status; why should you trouble yourself with a child? If you truly fancy women, the Nie Family has some influence in the Southwest as well, and we can find you any type of woman you like." At this moment, Nie Hongxue spoke up because he wanted to improve relations with Yellow Springs Palace. He had privately enquired with an elder surnamed Huang and learned just how formidable Yellow Springs Palace was in the Southwest Hidden Gates. If he could secure their support, the position of Family Head of the Nie Family would be within his grasp, and it might even be possible for the Nie Family to dominate the Southwest. Naturally, he seized the opportunity to curry favor with Yellow Spring Pursuing Moon. He believed that by providing Long Xiaoshan with a way out, Long Xiaoshan would definitely be grateful to him. Although Long Xiaoshan was not as powerful as Yellow Springs Palace, his exceptional medical skills and having strong subordinates like Wang Chao and Hua Die made befriending him beneficial for Nie Hongxue. Therefore, by speaking up now, he was aiming to please both sides—a double win. However, Long Xiaoshan was not going to let Yellow Spring Pursuing Moon off so easily. Even though it was a joke. He personally had no such desire, and had Yellow Spring Pursuing Moon politely requested him to drop the matter, he would have complied. But Yellow Spring Pursuing Moon had not only reneged on the deal as soon as she opened her mouth but also ordered the Rakshasa Lady to kill him, which annoyed Long Xiaoshan tremendously. He had no intention of indulging Yellow Spring Pursuing Moon. On the contrary, a spoiled child needed to be properly disciplined. He said, "Who said it was a joke? There are plenty of people who heard the bet. So it seems the word of Yellow Springs Palace folks is worthless—when you win, you take it seriously, but when you lose, it's all in jest. Are you trying to claim all the good things in the world for yourselves? Besides, regardless of a woman's status, in the end, isn't she meant to be married off? Are you implying that the women of Yellow Springs Palace are all nuns? Since they have to marry, it doesn't matter whom they marry. I may not be the best man around, but I'm certainly a catch. I'm decent-looking and not lacking in money. It's not like this young lady would be getting a bad deal, right?" Long Xiaoshan's eloquence was remarkably smooth. In a burst, he left the Rakshasa Lady speechless. Being silent and reserved by nature, and an assassin at that, she was particularly unskilled at verbal confrontation. How could she possibly out-talk Long Xiaoshan? After being continuously rebuked by Long Xiaoshan, the face beneath the Rakshasa Lady's mask was a mix of embarrassment and rage. This scoundrel, leaning on his medical skills and fluency, was unyielding in his arguments. Did he really think Yellow Springs Palace was easy to deal with? In the Southwest, Yellow Springs was a place that could silence even crying babies. It seemed that this man needed to be taught a lesson. Even if she didn't kill him, she had to make him realize that in the Hidden Sect, might was ultimately what mattered and all other reasoning was futile. The Rakshasa Lady's eyes emitted an aura of killing, her finger twitched, Clang! The short sword at her waist drew slightly from its sheath.
