Ultimate Village Doctor-Chapter 319 - 349 Unsuitable
Chapter Three Hundred and Forty-Nine
After Xing Ye left.
Bai Susu said with concern, "Xiaoshan, isn’t this too risky for you? You’ve become the target of everyone’s arrows."
Although she wasn’t a cultivator and didn’t understand the matters of the cultivation circles,
Bai Susu was intelligent and thoughtful.
Long Xiaoshan’s words to the Fan Family clearly aimed to attract firepower, shifting the focus from Bai’s Medicinal Materials onto himself because, with those words he said, anyone who wanted to approach Bai’s Medicinal Materials had to get past Long Xiaoshan first.
"Auntie Su, the trouble was originally caused by me, as I was the one who took out the Snow Lotus for auction. I’ve already let you down, so how can I allow you to bear the pressure? Besides, I am a man and you are a woman. It’s not right to let a woman take the knifefor a man. I will definitely protect you. From now until the end of the auction, I will always be by your side," Long Xiaoshan said.
"Xiaoshan," Bai Susu trembled.
Long Xiaoshan’s plain words caused ripples in her heart. For many years, she had struggled alone in the business world—it was the first time she felt like she had a solid support.
"By the way, Auntie Su, this is for you." Long Xiaoshan took out a bracelet with over a dozen pale blue beads, somewhat similar to pearls but prettier.
At first glance, Bai Susu liked it. But while her mind was flooded with turbulent thoughts, Long Xiaoshan suddenly pulled out a bracelet to give to her. She panicked and hastily said, "Xiaoshan, how can you give me jewelry? I’m so much older than you. It’s not right; it’s not right at all. Auntie Su is old, we’re not suitable, definitely not suitable. I can’t take it, I shouldn’t accept it. You should take it back. If you really want to give it away, you should give it to Xue Hen. There’s no way I can accept it…"
"Uh," Long Xiaoshan didn’t understand why Bai Susu was saying so many strange things, like being too old, not suitable, or unable to accept it.
"Auntie Su, this bracelet is a magical artifact that can protect your safety. Why won’t you accept it?" Long Xiaoshan said.
"A magical artifact? To protect me?" Bai Susu was stunned.
"Yes, look," Long Xiaoshan said as he channeled his True Qi, and the beads on the bracelet instantly lit up one by one, forming a pale blue film of light around him, resembling ripples on water.
Long Xiaoshan picked up a stick from the ground and smashed it toward the light film, only to have it bounce off the blue barrier.
Bai Susu watched in amazement. She had never seen anything so bizarre. Fortunately, her mature age and stable mindset kept her from screaming. Another reason was that today she had seen so many powerful individuals. The Jiaohe Double Fiends and members of the Fan Family moved like martial arts masters on television, able to shatter a sour pear wood table as if it were tofu.
She calmed herself and said, "Xiaoshan, this thing must be very precious. You should keep it for your safety."
"I have more. Besides, I specifically crafted this one for you. I made it myself," Long Xiaoshan said, not taking no for an answer. He took Bai Susu’s hand and put the magical bracelet onto her tender, snowy-white wrist.
It had to be said, the blue Sea Pearls matched Bai Susu’s skin perfectly, adding a mysterious and sacred aura to her gentle beauty.
Hearing that Long Xiaoshan had personally refined it just for her, Bai Susu could no longer bring herself to refuse, and a sweet sensation welled up in her heart.
"Auntie Su, you are truly beautiful," Long Xiaoshan said with admiration.
"Stop talking nonsense; Auntie Su is old," Bai Susu quickly denied.
"Old? Where? By the way, Auntie Su, you mentioned earlier that we’re not suitable. What’s not suitable? I didn’t quite understand. Tell me," Long Xiaoshan curiously pressed on, a glint of mischief sparkling in his eyes.
Bai Susu’s face flushed with a touch of crimson, and she stammered, "No, nothing, I mean, I was saying, I was saying the bracelet might not be the right size, maybe I saw it wrong, oh, it actually fits quite well... Thank you, oh, the weather is really nice today, sunny and bright... just a bit hot..."
As Bai Susu talked, she walked over to the window, using her hand to fan her hot, burning cheeks.
...
With the help of the Fan Family’s martial artists.
The Jiaohe Double Fiends’ defeat and Long Xiaoshan’s brazen words quickly spread throughout Hechuan City.
Who were the Jiaohe Double Fiends?
They were certainly not nobodies; they had roamed the southwest for over a decade. If they hadn’t had real skills, they would have been eliminated long ago, yet they managed to live freely until now, with even many Ancient Martial families wary of them.
But on their first day in Hechuan City, they had been crippled by the Special Action Division.
Previously, although the Special Action Division had enforcement powers in the Ancient Martial World, they had many considerations and had never been overly forceful, only pursuing those criminals who were truly evil and filled with heinous deeds.
The Jiaohe Double Fiends had always navigated this area skillfully.
Yet, upon arriving in Hechuan City, for merely injuring a few ordinary people, they were crippled and captured by the Special Action Division. This caused an uproar among the powerhouses in Hechuan City, who all shared a sense of mutual grief and hatred.
It wasn’t because they sympathized with the Jiaohe Double Fiends.
It was the Special Action Division’s actions that made them feel threatened.
If the officially representative Special Action Division were to always be this dominant, then they, the powerhouses, might also be domesticated by the government like commoners. Ancient Martial Artists and Spirit Practitioners were accustomed to being strong and free, distinct from the secular world. If they were to be reduced to live like ordinary people, unable to rise above the secular, then there would be no meaning to their arduous cultivation.
Furthermore, Long Xiaoshan had dared to spit out those provocative words.
This infuriated the powerhouses even more.

They had come to compete for the Snow Lotus, and now someone had dared to step forward. Whether for the dignity of the cultivators or the Snow Lotus itself, they felt compelled to meet this man.
...
Boom~~ The roar of an engine grew from distant to near, as a yellow sports car sped like lightning to the entrance of Bai’s Medicinal Materials.
Screeeeech~~~~~~
The tires dragged a trail of skid marks tens of meters long and jerked to a stop at the entrance of Bai’s Medicinal Materials Company. A woman with a stunning figure, clad in a leather jacket, stepped out of the sports car and stormed into Bai’s Medicinal Materials Company. She bellowed in the lobby, "Long Xiaoshan, come out here!"
The volume of her voice was so thunderous that it shook the entire glass structure of Bai’s Medicinal Materials, like leaves quivering in a storm.
The employees of Bai’s Medicinal Materials had just recovered from the devastation brought by the Jiaohe Double Fiends, and now were faced with such a fierce woman charging in, each of them turning pale with fright.
