Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 86: The Employer Pays, the Hunter Takes the Job
A somewhat familiar face appeared in front of Ji Ning.
With a hint of mockery in her eyes, "I always thought we were the same kind of person, but now it seems, you’re not."
Ying Huang looked her over, then took a step back, leaning on the nearby railing, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it at her lips.
After taking two or three puffs, she held it between her fingers and looked at her, "A delicate flower that hasn’t endured the storm will never understand what you say. You’ve stayed at the base before, right?"
Ji Ning sat up, raised her head and looked at her, her beautiful peach blossom eyes staring directly into hers, "How did you get your injuries?"
Ying Huang took a drag on her cigarette, then said with a bit of self-mockery, "Executing a mission."
"To the Pollution Zone?"
"Yeah, where else? Barely came out alive, ended up with all these injuries, can only leave. In the end, still forced to sell my body by those with money and power. Those people never regard human life."
Ying Huang recalled those past events, a hint of anger surged through her body, she took a deep breath to calm herself.
Ji Ning poked her knee with one hand, was silent for a while, then asked, "Why are you approaching Bai Xiaotang?"
Ying Huang shrugged, "Money. Employers pay, Hunters take the job, it’s that simple."
Seeing Ji Ning frown slightly, she chuckled softly, "I have principles, I don’t kill lightly."
"Who is the employer?"
"Sorry, I can’t say that."
Ying Huang was very professional.
Ji Ning pondered for a while, then extended a hand to her, "Give me your hand."
Ying Huang’s body paused slightly, and she asked cautiously, "What for?"
"To check the injury."
Ying Huang saw Ji Ning’s casual manner, and though doubtful, she straightened up, walked forward two steps, sat down in front of her, and stretched out her other hand.
Ji Ning held her wrist with three fingers, and felt her pulse with two fingers.
A slight energy entered through her meridians, making Ying Huang’s eyes widen in surprise, "You have a Healing Ability?"
Ji Ning glanced at her, pressed her lips together without speaking, continued to feel her internal injuries.
Ying Huang’s injuries were two kinds, old injuries, which were rather stubborn, and recent injuries, very tricky.
"How is it? Can it be treated?" Ying Huang saw Ji Ning frown slightly, her heart jumped to her throat.
The injuries had tormented her for a long time, she saw many doctors but none could cure them, someone suggested seeing a superpower master, but those people were recruited by major powers, hard to meet, didn’t expect Ji Ning was one.
Ying Huang watched her intently, not missing any expression on her face.
"Pretty tricky. Bear with it a moment." Ji Ning glanced at her, without giving Ying Huang a chance to react, she began treatment.
Ying Huang suddenly felt an overbearing energy surge at the place Ji Ning’s fingers held, rushing through her muscles, bones, meridians like waves, so painful she almost cried out.
Ji Ning carefully controlled her superpower, clearing her body’s toxins.
This method was very painful, but highly effective, much faster than medicine.
If Lin Yuanyang’s physique reached A-level, she would use this method to treat her too.
Ying Huang’s face was pale as paper, her features distorted in pain, changing right in front of Ji Ning.
Ji Ning still had the mood to joke with her, "How many faces can you change?"
Ying Huang was in such pain she didn’t want to speak, veins popped out, sweat dripped like rain, her exquisite makeup already smeared, leaving black streaks on her face.
The pain lasted more than 20 minutes before gradually fading away.
Ying Huang was like a drowning person finally on shore, lying on the ground breathlessly.
Her sweat had already soaked the ground beneath her.
Ji Ning threw her a pack of tissues stuffed into her hand by Ye Tong, stood up, brushed the dust off her butt, "Come back in half a month."
"Whew... whew... How many more times will it take?"
"At least five times." After saying this, Ji Ning thought for a moment, then asked, "If you can find a closed pharmacy, you can come two less times."
Ying Huang, enduring the pain, quickly considered this, then replied, "Possible. Are you skilled in pharmaceuticals?"
Ji Ning glanced at her, "I need to refine Netherworld Grass, and make medicine for you."
Ying Huang’s pupils widened slightly, she looked at her in surprise a few times, "You went to the Pollution Zone?"
Ji Ning rubbed her ear, didn’t bother to reply, "Can it be ready in five days?"
"No problem. Private facilities are always available."
"Alright." Ji Ning tucked her hands into her pockets, ready to leave.
Ying Huang looked at her back, suddenly said, "Ji Ning, my name is Huang Ying, Huang as in yellow, Ying as in shadow."
Ji Ning’s step paused slightly, didn’t turn back, replied with three words, "Got it."

Ji Ning stayed on the rooftop for a long time, when she returned to Class 8, the afternoon class had already begun.
The person teaching was the teacher from the morning Elite A class.
Seeing Ji Ning appear at the door, she didn’t get angry, just asked her to quickly take a seat.
Bai Xiaotang hadn’t seen Ji Ning the whole noon, was worried, didn’t dare to send a text to disturb her, so she went to buy some snacks from the little store outside the school and put them on her desk.
"Puchi puchi... I bought you some food." Bai Xiaotang hid in her textbook, turned her head and whispered.
Ji Ning gave her a approving glance, looked down at the desk, inside were Bai Xiaotang’s preferred chips and bread.
She reached for a piece of bread, quietly unwrapped it, taking advantage of the teacher looking down at the screen, stuffed it into her mouth.
Bai Xiaotang was worried she might choke from eating too fast and quickly handed her water bottle.
Ji Ning gave her another praising look, raised her head to take two sips of water.
"Ahem... some students, don’t eat like gluttons in class... It’s not good for your health."
The teacher, intimidated by Ji Ning’s aura in the morning, dared not say anything too harsh, seemed meek and rather pitiful.
Ji Ning put down the water bottle, glanced around at the students, apart from a few like Bai Xiaotang listening seriously, the rest were all slacking off.
Sleeping, gaming, doing makeup, reading extracurricular books...
If not for You Le disliking noise while sleeping, this classroom could become a marketplace.
No wonder Wang Li detests Class 8.
Ji Ning’s eyes flashed slightly, she pressed her lips.
Each class lasted 45 minutes, the bell rang quickly.
"Sister Ning, next period Body Refining Class is with Elite A class." Bai Xiaotang was a bit unhappy, but worried about her, dared not show it.
Anhe Middle School only had four dedicated Body Refining Classrooms, all grades in junior and senior high had to use them, so several classes attended each period.
The next session was coincidentally both Elite A and Normal Class 8 attending.
Because of the conflict that morning, this class would surely be a battlefield.
Both classes’ students held their breath.
Ji Ning followed Class 8 students to the playground first.
They needed to warm up by running laps, then go to Body Refining Classroom for specialized training.
Class 8 under You Le’s lead ran sloppily around the playground, compared to the orderly queue of Elite A class, Class 8 was truly laid-back.
"How can that girl from A class still be at school? Really thick-skinned."
Suddenly, a girl from Class 8 shouted toward Qin Muyao within the crowd of Elite A class.
The voice was very loud on the empty playground.
Class 8’s scattered students all stopped, looked sharply towards Elite A class.
Elite A class’s queue faltered a bit, but didn’t stop, Qin Muyao within the crowd even smiled at the girl from Class 8 who spotted her, with no guilt on her face at all.
This made Class 8 unable to hold back, they surrounded Elite A class, blocking their queue.
A class monitor Wu Muzhe, walked forward very seriously, facing Class 8’s leader You Le, "What do you want to do?"
"Make that girl leave school." You Le pointed at Qin Muyao.
Wu Muzhe pushed his glasses, turned back to glance at Qin Muyao who was pretending to be aggrieved, refused, "Her staying or leaving is up to the school, you have no right to interfere."
"So what if I insist on forcing it?"
