Therefore, both of them were puzzled by Caixia's obviously abnormal departure.
"Damn it, you've offended the Director. I think you shouldn't take this medicine anymore. You won't have a good life in Heaven anyway. You might as well just become a mortal and be done with it," Hua Tuo laughed.
"You're the one who's offended her! You didn't even straighten your hunchback when you saw the fairy. You looked so strange. You must have disgusted Fairy Caixia," Wang Yao stubbornly insisted.
"The old man's hunchback has been hunched for over a thousand years. Even if the Heavenly Emperor came, he'd still be the same. He'll never straighten up." Hua Tuo chuckled, glanced at the door, and suddenly turned his face to look at Wang Yao in a strange way.
"Hey kid, have you got your eye on that fairy?"
"You're the one who's taken a liking to him..." Wang Yao blushed, too embarrassed to admit it. "Hurry up and take my medicine, I still have a mission to do."
"You're lucky you didn't take a fancy to that fairy. If you had, you'd be stuck in a quagmire for life, and you'd better struggle on." Hua Tuo chuckled and held up the porcelain bottle that Fairy Caixia had given him.
“Even if you take this 'Charming Lily Pill,' you still need to be careful recently and avoid strenuous activities. No matter what the mission is, nothing is more important than your life.” As Hua Tuo spoke, he turned the porcelain bottle upside down towards Wang Yao and removed the jade stopper from the top of the bottle.
Suddenly, a strange fragrance wafted out of the bottle opening. Wang Yao saw a fairy the size of a bean, whose features were exactly the same as those of the Fairy of Colorful Clouds, appear at the mouth of the porcelain bottle. She looked as if she had just woken up, and stretched lazily with her eyes closed in a daze.
"The Maiden Lily Pill is specially formulated to treat injuries from falls and blows, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cerebral thrombosis, and heart disease. It also helps to calm the soul and prolong life. It is a supreme celestial pill produced by the Heavenly Court..."
As Hua Tuo muttered a string of incantations, the fairy at the bottle's mouth transformed into a pink streak of light and rushed towards Wang Yao. Before the Hundred Flowers Pill even reached him, its rich, exotic fragrance filled Wang Yao's nostrils, rendering him speechless.
When the fairy landed on Wang Yao's face, it was as if his face was wet with a cloud of fragrant mist. His spirits suddenly lifted for no reason, and the fairy seemed to melt away as soon as she touched his face, leaving no trace. Only the lingering fragrance remained in Wang Yao's mouth and nose.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Yao's matchmaking system started flashing erratically, as if it had been hit by a fire alarm.
It kept switching between the system interface and the skill, spiritual power, and mana interfaces.
Wang Yao was panicked, unsure what was about to happen. He stared at the system for a long time, and it gradually stabilized, but it remained unchanged. He was completely focused on the system and didn't understand what Hua Tuo was saying.
"Should I get up and try?" Hua Tuo looked at Wang Yao's face and took his pulse.
"This... I can get up now?" Wang Yao was greatly surprised. He indeed felt as if his body had become much lighter in an instant.
"Do you think the name 'sacred medicine' is just for show? If it can't bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded instantly, how can it live up to the name of a sacred medicine? However, since your immortal body has just recovered, you still need to take care of yourself." Hua Tuo glanced at Wang Yao and gave him a light reminder.
“When we immortals are not busy, we can drink the wind and dew and sleep without rest. But once our immortal bodies are damaged, we need to consume more nourishing substances and sleep more than mortals in order to make up for what our bodies lack.”
"Although you've taken the sacred medicine and seem to be fine now, your immortal body is still deficient in too much and needs to be slowly replenished and repaired. I'll go out and buy some ingredients to make you a pot of nourishing soup. You should get some sleep first. I also need to go and check on Shang Wei and Luo Wenjuan."
Hua Tuo was about to leave as he spoke.
When Wang Yao heard that Hua Tuo wanted to make some kind of "Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup," he couldn't help but feel anxious. He hadn't received his salary yet, and this "Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup" sounded very high-end. Hua Tuo had made it for him without asking for payment, and he didn't have the money to pay him later.
“Wait a minute, Huagu, I…I don’t have any money…” Wang Yao shouted.
"I only accept donations for treating people's illnesses, I've never asked for money," Hua Tuo chuckled, then closed the door and left.
"That's right, merit! No wonder Fairy Caixia gave the pill to Huagu. The pill went into my mouth through his hands, so the merit of saving me belongs to Huagu?"
"But why does he still need to cook soup for me? Does he think that until I'm fully recovered, I won't get enough merit? Is he going to be like my matchmaking system, stingily giving me only a fraction of a percent?"
Wang Yao imagined the process of Hua Tuo accumulating merit. Lying in bed, he was still not sleepy and couldn't help but want to see the four tasks Cai Xia had given him. The little thing that Cai Xia had sent into his brain with her finger that morning was still there. He wanted to see what the tasks were before making a decision.
Thinking this, Wang Yao focused his mind, and then he heard a loud bang, as if a movie was starting. With a booming voice, four lifelike portraits of two men and two women appeared before him.
"Task Instruction One, Issued by: Fairy Caixia, Planning Division, Prosperity and Development Bureau of Heavenly Court, Received by: Matchmaker Wang Yao, Marriage Management Section, Office of Heavenly Court in the Human Realm. Task Name: The Four Heavenly Cripples."
The Four Heavenly Cripples? I only know the Four Heavenly Kings, those are long-outdated figures. What are these Four Heavenly Cripples? Wang Yao wondered. The voice-over was deep and powerful, similar to the narration on "A Bite of China," which Wang Yao loved to watch before his transmigration, full of the charm of a middle-aged man.
"The four most crippled men are widowers, widowers, and the lonely. Among them, the widower lives in Xiangyun City, Caidu, in the human realm. His name is Ni Zhenlu. Since adulthood, he has lost eighteen partners, becoming a notorious wife-killer in the eyes of the women in the neighborhood..."
As the voice-over narrated, Wang Yao saw in succession images of Ni Zhenlu's joyful wedding, his intimate moments working together with his wife, and his tearful farewell to his deceased wife. Then, in a flash, eighteen photos of women of varying appearances, becoming increasingly unattractive, appeared one after another.
