Chapter 239: Slender Lady, a Gentleman's Choice
How could the Medicine King not know that his daughter was lying? He sneered, "Do you really have to save this kid?"
It was clearly not Yan'er who killed the toad, but she still wanted to take responsibility for it. Perhaps she was afraid that he would bear a grudge against the boy on the ground and not treat him.
"We must save him!" Zhong Nanyan was very determined. "This kid is really good at making me happy. If I let him die like this, wouldn't I be bored again?"
The King of Medicine lowered his head and looked at Chu Yuni carefully.
"He's pretty good-looking, tall, and better looking than your fellow apprentices. Do you want him to be your lover?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. Can you please stop talking nonsense and save people quickly!" Seeing that her father still looked leisurely, Zhong Nanyue became a little anxious.
"Alright, alright, there's nothing we can do to you. Go out first. I'll return you alive in half an hour."
Seeing that the King of Medicine agreed to save people, Zhong Nanyue said no more, quickly retreated out of the house and closed the door.
When she turned around, she saw Song Yunchu and others standing and waiting at the bottom of the attic stairs.
She ran down the attic and called everyone aside.
"Listen carefully. Whether it's my father or anyone else who asks about the toad, we should all say that I stepped on it to death. Don't say that the kid beat it to death. Got it?"
Song Yunchu smiled when he heard this, "I see. Thank you Miss Zhong for considering Brother Chu. Brother Chu will definitely be very grateful to you when he wakes up."
Zhong Nanyue's intention was very clear. The Medicine King Valley was originally controlled by the Medicine King and his daughter. No matter how many poisonous creatures Zhong Nanyue killed, no one else would dare to say anything. But if people knew that Chu Yuni, an outsider and the "toy" of the eldest lady of the Medicine King Valley, dared to kill the poisonous creatures raised by the Medicine King, she would be really ignorant of the world and deserved to be poisoned to death.
In the eyes of everyone in Yaowang Valley, the only value of these outsiders is probably... to be Zhong Nanyue's gigolo and make her happy.
Zhong Nanyue took the responsibility of killing the toad on herself as a kind of protection for Chu Yuni. As for whether the King of Medicine believed it or not, it was not very important. Anyway, the King of Medicine loved his daughter, and he would be willing to save anyone his daughter insisted on saving.
In the attic, the King of Medicine sat at the table, looking at the black medicine in front of him, then he took the dagger beside him and cut his wrist.
The blood quickly overflowed and flowed into the medicine.
He glanced at Chu Yuni who was unconscious on the ground and snorted coldly.
If he hadn't seen Yan'er was extremely anxious, he wouldn't have shed his own blood to save this kid.
The few followers Yan'er had recently recruited were all from the secular world, and they probably didn't have simple minds. Moreover, he heard from his disciples that the two people who were first rescued by Yan'er were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and looked like they were from wealthy families.
If he was really the son of a wealthy family, how could he be willing to stay in Yaowang Valley and be manipulated by others?
He didn't care where these people came from. As long as Yan'er wanted to keep them, they couldn't leave.
Chu Yuni was in a daze and realized that someone had pried open her mouth and forced her to drink a very bitter and unpalatable medicine.
The medicine seemed to be bitter from the tip of the tongue all the way down to the throat, but the strange thing was that after the medicine entered the stomach, the pain in the whole body gradually subsided, and the palms that felt like they were burning gradually regained consciousness.
"Boy, it's rare that Yan'er likes you, so don't do anything to disappoint her, otherwise I will make you wish you were dead."
Who is speaking?
Chu Yuni opened her eyes and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties standing in front of her, wearing a black robe.
The other party looked down at him and sneered, "I don't care who you were before. Since you have come to Medicine King Valley, just follow Yan'er steadily. If you are sincere to her, you will have a good life. If you dare to escape, you must be prepared to be punished. The taste of the five poisonous toads is not pleasant, right? I have something more powerful, which is guaranteed to be more torturous than the toad poison."
Chu Yuni was shocked.
The man in front of me is the King of Medicine. He is indeed arrogant and domineering. No wonder he could give birth to a daughter as unruly as Zhong Nanyue.
He was originally poisoned by the toad, but now he no longer felt the pain. He naturally understood that it was the Medicine King who saved him, so he quickly stood up and thanked him: "Thank you, senior, for detoxifying me. I am very grateful."
"I don't want to listen to these polite words. Yan'er said you can make her happy, which shows that you are sharp-tongued. Tell me now, who are you all?"
The Medicine King stared at Chu Yuni, with a warning in his tone, "I don't like being deceived. If you dare to lie..."
"I am a businessman." Facing the King of Medicine's scrutiny, Chu Yuni was not panicked. "My family is in the silk business."
The King of Medicine recalled that his disciples had reported to him that this kid brought a lot of jewelry and gorgeous clothes when he came, and Yan'er liked those beautiful clothes very much.
If he said he was a businessman, it would be believable.
"What about the others?"
“Brother Shen and I are not familiar with each other, we have only cooperated before. Brother Zhao and I always fight, but our relationship is pretty good. I often take care of his sister’s business.”
Chu Yuni thought that his answer was flawless and quite true.
He is a subordinate of Lord Song, and Chen Yue is a close confidant of His Majesty. Although they are not familiar with each other, their superiors have a mutual affection for each other, and they occasionally interact with each other. How can this not be considered cooperation?
Zhao Jingheng often discussed with him. Miss Jiang was now Zhao Jingheng's sister, and he had taken care of her many times, which was true.
As for how the King of Medicine would understand it, that was none of his business.
Thinking of this, Chu Yuni felt that she was extremely smart, and her brows brightened up a bit.
Seeing that he answered smoothly and with a proud look on his face, the Medicine King did not doubt his words, but just snorted coldly, "What's there to be proud of being born into a merchant family? You stink of money and think you are so noble? Don't even think about showing off your few stinky coins in my Medicine King Valley. I allow you to follow Yan'er, which is already your blessing."
"By the way, what are the origins of those other two guys? Why are you willing to come here just for them?"
Chu Yuni had already prepared a story, and when she heard Medicine King asking about Jun Liluo and Song Yunchu, she sighed, "They are... a pair of gays."
"My family's business was big before, and we were framed. Brother Song helped me to settle the matter. I owe him a big favor. Businessmen are most afraid of having a bad reputation. He restored my family's reputation. I have always remembered this and have not yet repaid him."
"As for why Brother Chen and Brother Zhao came... it's like this, Brother Zhao and Brother Song have a master-disciple relationship, and his kung fu was taught by Brother Song, and he has always been grateful in his heart. As for Brother Chen, he and Brother Luo knew each other when they were young and have a very good relationship, but he didn't know that Brother Luo and Brother Song were gay at first, and he just suspected it some time ago. I can sense that he is not happy to see them together, and Miss Zhong dislikes them just because they are gay..."
"Alright, alright, let's not go into details about this kind of shit." The King of Medicine was annoyed and interrupted, "Of course Yan'er should be despised. A man with homosexual tendencies is useless no matter how handsome he is!"
The King of Medicine pondered Chu Yuni's words carefully. The man surnamed Chen and the man surnamed Luo knew each other when they were young, but he couldn't stand the man surnamed Luo and the man surnamed Song being together. So, it was very likely that the man surnamed Chen was also a homosexual?
What kind of luck is Yan'er? She got five handsome men, and three of them are gay.
How can a man with that kind of hobby be worthy of following Yan'er?
"You are right, senior." Chu Yuni agreed, "Miss Zhong is extraordinary. If you want to pick a handsome man, you have to pick one without a family. The three of us came here to make Miss Zhong happy and let go of Brother Song and Brother Luo, the unfortunate couple. After all, the three of us had a smooth life in the first half of our lives, unlike Brother Song and his friends, who lost their parents and have no elders to protect them. They can only keep each other warm. It is not easy to work hard for half their lives."
The King of Medicine said in a deep voice: "Are you telling the truth?"
"It's absolutely true. There's not a single word of falsehood."
"Well, if you can really make Yan'er happy, I will let those gay men go. They are useless to me anyway. You can get out now."
"Thank you, senior." Chu Yuni bowed to the Medicine King and then turned and left.
As soon as he left the house, he saw a group of people waiting downstairs in the attic, so he hurried downstairs and came in front of them.
Seeing that he was fine, Zhong Nanyan was delighted and said, "Sure enough, my father has to help."
Chu Yuni certainly didn't forget that she was carried here by Zhong Nanyan, and she quickly thanked her, "Thanks to Miss Zhong for sending me to Senior Medicine King, otherwise I would have died of the poison long ago."
"You know what I mean, right?" Zhong Nanyan raised her chin. "You kicked me once, and I carried you once. I have repaid your favor. I don't owe you anything. So from now on, you are still my little follower. You go wherever I go."
"Then I can always sleep alone at night, right?" Chu Yuni showed a trace of distress on her face, "I'm not used to sharing a room with others, and I've never tried it..."
"Nonsense!" Zhong Nanyan scolded, "You still want to sleep in my room? You are not qualified!"
If it were any other time, Chu Yuni would have said "I don't care", but thinking of how Zhong Nanyan had just carried her all the way here, she swallowed her rebuttal and said, "Miss Zhong is absolutely right, so where are the three of us going to sleep at night?"
"There is a bamboo house behind the attic where I live. You can sleep in that one. It's getting late. I'm going back to my room. Tomorrow morning you can teach me how to play with the box of cubes."
…
"Sir Song, when the Medicine King saved me today, he said that as long as I can make Miss Zhong happy, he will let you go."
Chu Yuni came to Song Yunchu and Jun Liluo's house at night and discussed with them in a low voice, "I am quite good at making people happy, but I am a little worried now."
"What are you worried about?"
"I'm afraid if I keep coaxing her, Miss Zhong might develop a crush on me."
Chu Yuni sighed, "Don't laugh at me for being sentimental. Among all of us, I seem to be the best at coaxing girls."
Song Yun couldn't refute it at first.
Of course she wouldn't laugh at Chu Yuni for being so sentimental.
Chu Yuni slapped the toad to death, and Zhong Nanyue carried him and ran away. Such a reaction clearly showed concern and anxiety.
What she couldn't agree with was Chu Yuni's last sentence. This guy seemed to have regained confidence in his eloquence.
But Zhong Nanyue really believed his flattering words and listened to them.
"Your intuition is pretty accurate." Jun Liluo took over the conversation, "She already has a good impression of you."
Chu Yuni felt a little confused when she heard this.
In order to allow His Majesty and Lord Song to leave this place, he had to deal with Miss Zhong, but in fact, Miss Zhong was not his type...
"Sir Song, Miss Zhong is not a bad person. She is just a little bit unruly. I really don't want her to give her feelings to the wrong person."
Chu Yuni's tone was a little sad. "You once said that a gentleman would pursue a slim and graceful lady. Miss Zhong is quite slim, but she is not a lady at all. With her aggressive personality, how can she be considered a lady? A lady should be..."
Like Miss Jiang.
"Gentle and gentle." Chu Yuni murmured, "But if I don't coax her, she won't let me go. What should I do?"
"I never intended for any of you to cheat on her feelings."
Song Yunchu said, "Her liking for handsome men is just to satisfy her vision. Although Medicine King Valley is large, there are only a few hundred people, and at most half of them are young. She has long been tired of seeing these familiar faces, so she will feel fresh about handsome men from outside. She just hopes that you can play with her and make her happy. In the final analysis, she still does not understand the love between men and women."
"She cares about you because, firstly, she listens to your compliments, and secondly, when the toad pounced on her, you kicked her. Although your behavior was very barbaric, she still remembers your favor."
"If you stay in Medicine King Valley, she will surely fall in love with you given her current affection for you. I have already made up my mind. If we are to leave, we should leave together, not for His Majesty and I to leave first. I don't want any of us to stay here. I have an idea right now, and only you can implement it."
Chu Yuni heard this and immediately took over the conversation, "Sir, please speak."
"Given Zhong Nanyan's current state of mind, she is definitely unwilling to let you go. Or rather, she has just become interested in you and wants to see you every day. If we want to leave Medicine King Valley, we can only take her with us. Once she sees the world, she will understand that there are many times more handsome men outside than in Medicine King Valley."
