Chapter 85 Qi Chengfeng's Origin
"What should I do then?" Yunzhi felt a little desperate, but then she thought, "No, there's always a solution."
It can not only protect Shen Qi's body from harm, but also maintain his level of supernatural powers.
Yunzhi racked her brains to recall the medical books she had read, but she had no clue for a while.
Shen Qi's case is indeed very special, and there has been no similar case before.
Chen Qi: "I asked Doctor Zhou privately, my condition is not very serious, so you don't have to worry. I should be able to live for a long time and won't die so easily. The last person from the Fox Clan who practiced secret techniques also lived to be fifty years old."
Chen Qi tried to comfort Yun Zhi in a relaxed tone.
Yunzhi didn't buy it at all: "You could have lived to 70 or 80, but now you can only live to 40 or 50. How can that be called a long life?"
Suddenly thinking of something, Yunzhi said, "You said someone in your clan had used this secret recipe before. Is there any record of it? I could use it as a reference."
Perhaps we can find a way to solve the side effects of this secret method through the records of our predecessors.
"There are some records, written down by people who were watching at the time, but they are all very ordinary records."
Yunzhi: "The more ordinary the record, the more useful the details. Don't forget, I'm a doctor. Maybe I can help you."
When Shen Qi heard this, he ordered someone to go to the warehouse to find the record.
Soon someone brought it over. It was a book wrapped in animal skin and looked quite old.
After Yunzhi opened it, she found that the handwriting inside was very sloppy and a little blurry, but it did not hinder reading.
Since we have lessons learned from our predecessors, we must make use of them.
"Why are you arresting me? I'm an honest businessman, let me go!"
"I told you to let me go, did you hear me? You're deaf!"
"What on earth do you want to do? It's broad daylight, and there are no laws. Arrest anyone if you want!"
There was a noisy sound outside the door.
Yunzhi placed the animal-skin book on the table and looked outside.
Not far away, several big men were holding a man and walking towards the hall where Yunzhi was.
The person who was pinned down kept cursing all the way and looked very dissatisfied.
Only when she got closer did Yunzhi see the man's specific appearance.
Isn’t this Zhao Wei, the boss who sells male beasts on the black market?
When this group of people came in, Zhao Wei looked up and was about to curse, but he saw Shen Qi's face.
The skinny face of the past is now compared to the present one.
One look at Shen Qi's current demeanor and you'll know he's become wealthy.
Zhao Wei instantly thought that Shen Qi wanted to take revenge on him.
He quickly took a few steps back. "It was you who had me captured. You're not looking for a score with me, are you? We made a deal clearly. It was your people who sold you to me. Besides, when you got sick, I at least gave you something to eat. I didn't let you die. You still want revenge on me? Don't go too far."
After saying that, Zhao Wei's gaze swept over Yunzhi, and his eyes lit up: "Isn't this the person who bought you before? Look, I sold you to her so that you could survive and live a good life. Not only do you not thank me, but you also want to drag me here to get revenge on me. This is really too much!"
Yunzhi and Shen Qi looked at each other and saw the speechless look in their eyes.
Before they could say anything, Zhao Wei was already jumping up and down like this.
I don’t know how many bad things I have done in my daily life.
After Zhao Wei finished venting, his mouth was dry and he couldn't say anything.
Shen Qicai said lightly: "You misunderstood. I asked someone to bring you here simply because I wanted to ask you some questions. I had no intention of taking revenge on you."
Yunzhi continued, "You probably remember that you sold a house-born orc named Qi Chengfeng. House-born orcs are trained from a young age to maintain their loyalty. They usually severed ties with their own tribes many years ago and serve their masters wholeheartedly. But yesterday, Qi Chengfeng's tribesmen from the south came here and took him away. Why is he still in contact with his tribe after all these years?"
"Did you also buy Qi Chengfeng?"
Zhao Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand: "How could such a coincidence happen?"
"Can you tell me Qi Chengfeng's specific origins? Where in the south did you buy him?"
Zhao Wei hesitated for a long time, but finally told the truth: "Qi Chengfeng is from a small town in the south of Jinghong City, called Huangshui Town. He... is not a born orc.
Two years ago, one of my orcs died of illness. You know how much effort goes into training a single orc. Around that time, I was passing through Huangshui Town when I ran into Qi Chengfeng, who was fleeing from his enemies. After learning my identity, he offered to replace the deceased orc. It was a godsend for me; how could I refuse? Furthermore, Qi Chengfeng was an exceptionally quick learner. In just a year, he'd mastered everything a orc should know. While Qi Chengfeng was ostensibly under my control, he was secretly selecting clients. Only after I found the right one did he ask me to sell him.
I didn't mean to lie. Although Qi Chengfeng didn't stay with me for long, he's much smarter than the average orc. You didn't suffer any loss, did you? "
At this point, Zhao Wei's voice became lower and lower, and he knew that he was in the wrong.
After all, the price of a domesticated orc is extremely expensive. In order to make money, he pretended to be an ordinary orc and made a fake deal to deceive customers.
"If you're truly dissatisfied, I can refund you half the money. I sold Qi Chengfeng for 500 beast coins, and I'll give you 250. However, you can't tell anyone else about this, or else no other female will dare to come to us to buy an orc."
Zhao Wei took out a purse from his pocket and hurriedly stuffed it into Yunzhi's hand.
Yunzhi threw the purse on the ground and sneered, "Who cares about your refund? You're deceiving customers, and fake transactions are justified. But if you use some male beast with ulterior motives to impersonate domestic beastmen and sell them to females, what's the difference between that and inviting a wolf into the house? You don't even care about the safety of your customers for the sake of making money, and you still expect us to keep it a secret?"
Zhao Wei waved his hand. "No more, really. Apart from Qi Chengfeng, I didn't dare let any other orcs impersonate me. Not everyone is as smart as Qi Chengfeng. Besides, ever since I met Qi Chengfeng, I've always been manipulated by him. In the final analysis, I'm also a victim."
