Medical and Martial God

An Dongye, Dong Fangbai, the Fire-Water Judges, and Jiao Fuping looked at each other. They suddenly felt as if their collective intelligence had just been shattered.

The short, stout man sighed. "We’ve paid the price for being uneducated."

At the same time, he realized that if Ye Xiu had intended to spare his life, he would never have posed such a tricky question. Obviously, Ye Xiu had never planned to let him leave alive!

"Kill yourselves," Ye Xiu said coldly.

"Thank you," the short, stout man said as he slapped his forehead.

Killing oneself was far more dignified than being murdered.

"Brother, wait for me!"

Seeing the short, stout man commit suicide, the tall, thin man cried out in grief and killed himself by severing his heart’s meridians.

The two had not contemplated a desperate counterattack. They knew resisting was futile and would only lead to a more miserable death. Nor had they thought about escaping. True, if they had split up and fled, one of them might have escaped. However, their pride and self-respect would not allow them to do something as disgraceful as running away.

"Are you still planning to resist?" Ye Xiu asked in a cold voice, seeing that Jiao Fuping had not killed himself.

"I’m waiting for you to kill me with your own hands." Jiao Fuping’s expression suddenly turned mocking, his mouth curling into the smirk of a successful schemer. "Oh, you may not have noticed, but you no longer have the strength to kill me."

This statement stunned An Dongye and Dong Fangbai, who couldn’t understand why Jiao Fuping would say such a thing in his desperate situation.

Suddenly, An Dongye remembered something and exclaimed, "Oh no! I forgot about the poison in the private room!"

"Poison?" Dong Fangbai was confused. "What poison?"

"Jiao Fuping put poison in the incense burner on the coffee table. It’s colorless and odorless. I lost all my Martial Prowess because I inhaled it," An Dongye said.

Dong Fangbai was startled and hurriedly inspected his Dantian, shocked to discover his Martial Prowess had vanished without a trace.

"Hahahahaha..." Jiao Fuping laughed triumphantly. He stood up and approached Ye Xiu with the air of a victor, saying, "Didn’t expect that, did you? You’re strong, so strong that even the Fire-Water Judges couldn’t withstand a single move from you. But you forgot who I am. I am a core disciple of Medicine King Valley, a master of poison. I don’t need to use mere force to kill you."

SMACK!

Before the words had even left his mouth, Ye Xiu slapped him across the face, sending him sprawling.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I am immune to all poisons," Ye Xiu said coldly, stepping on Jiao Fuping’s head.

Immune to all poisons? An Dongye and Dong Fangbai were immediately overcome with envy. Who in the world wouldn’t want a body immune to all poisons?

Upon hearing that Ye Xiu was immune, Jiao Fuping was instantly terrified. Lying on the ground with Ye Xiu’s foot on his head, he began to plead desperately, "Don’t kill me! No, please don’t kill me! Ye Xiu, oh no, Divine Doctor Ye, I was wrong! I was blind and I overestimated myself! I shouldn’t have been your enemy. Please, I’m begging you, don’t kill me. Just treat me like a fart and let me go..."

At this moment, Jiao Fuping was out of tricks and finally overcome with fear.

"Be on your way!" Ye Xiu showed no hesitation as he stomped down and broke Jiao Fuping’s neck. While Jiao Fuping’s consciousness was still fading, he said coldly, "Walk slowly across the Naihe Bridge. I’ll send everyone from the reformist faction of Medicine King Valley to keep you company. You can all go drink Mengpo Soup as a group."

Watching Ye Xiu kill Jiao Fuping, An Dongye breathed a sigh of relief. She would finally be free from marrying that piece of trash.

At the same time, she began to worry about Ye Xiu. "Little brother, the strength of Medicine King Valley far exceeds your imagination. Even just the reformist faction is not something you can handle by yourself. You must be extremely careful when you eat, sleep, and go out."

Dong Fangbai said, his back still turned to Ye Xiu, "You killed Jiao Fuping and destroyed the marriage alliance between the Dongfang Family and Medicine King Valley. The Dongfang Family won’t let you get away with this. You’re on your own now."

The Dongfang Family’s reformist faction was so eager to form a marriage alliance with Medicine King Valley’s reformist faction for reasons beyond just re-entering the world. The most important reason was their desire to use Medicine King Valley’s Medical Skills to resolve a crisis within their family. If the Dongfang Family were to find out Ye Xiu had killed Jiao Fuping, it was hard to imagine how furious they would become.

"Go back and tell your master that I can resolve the Dongfang Family’s crisis," Ye Xiu said. He found the Antidote on Jiao Fuping’s body, poured out two pills, and tossed one each to An Dongye and Dong Fangbai. He continued, "Of course, if the Dongfang Family doesn’t believe me and insists on making me their enemy, then I’ll have no choice but to wage war against them. I hope you won’t blame me when that time comes."

Because of An Dongye, Ye Xiu didn’t want to kill members of the Dongfang Family. But if they insisted on trying to kill him, he would be forced to defend himself.

"You know about the Dongfang Family’s crisis?" asked An Dongye.

Dong Fangbai was equally curious but didn’t ask. Instead, he kept the back of his head aimed at Ye Xiu, waiting for an answer.

"The Dongfang Family’s crisis is the Blood Poison, isn’t it?" Ye Xiu asked.

The color drained from An Dongye and Dong Fangbai’s faces. An Dongye asked in shock, "How do you know that?"

"Don’t worry about how. You just need to know that I’m not deceiving you," Ye Xiu said.

An Dongye stared at Ye Xiu for three seconds and then broke into a smile. "Little brother, I believe you. I’ll go home and personally tell my master what you said."

"Good," Ye Xiu nodded.

Dong Fangbai added, "Ye Xiu, I think there’s something you should know. According to my master, the leader of Medicine King Valley’s reformist faction is a schemer who hides daggers behind his smiles. Be careful if you run into him."

"What does ’hides daggers behind his smiles’ mean?" An Dongye’s literacy didn’t extend to understanding the hidden meaning of such idioms.

Dong Fangbai thought for a moment and then explained, "Hiding daggers behind a smile means... hahaha... knife... hahaha."

Ye Xiu was speechless. Pressure King, are you being serious right now?

Ye Xiu left the KTV, carrying the sleeping Song Yushu.
