Chapter 1204

If his body weren't so weak right now, Yang Mingchen would have really wanted to give this useless guy in front of him a good beating.

"Master, your illness works from the inside out. You must follow my method, otherwise there's simply no hope."

Immediately after, he continued to explain to Yang Mingchen, and at the same time a trace of solemnity flashed across his face.

"What method?"

The moment she heard that Ximen Wudi actually had a way to treat Yang Mingchen's illness, Yang Qian's eyes immediately lit up, and she asked at once.

Huh?

"You little brat, you're not going to start acting like a rogue again, are you?"

Yet Ximen Wudi immediately started rolling his eyes, and such a thought even popped into his head, leaving him feeling a bout of gloom.

"Cut the crap, hurry up and treat my old man's illness. Do whatever you want, as long as you cure my old man's illness, you can mess around however you like. Anyway, you'll be my husband sooner or later."

Yang Qian's face was now flushed with excitement, and she solemnly explained to Ximen Wudi at once.

Damn!

How could a talent as outstanding as me possibly submit under the command of a bratty, willful boss like you!

"Master, I do indeed have a way to cure your illness, but I need some materials, and you must cooperate as well."

Immediately after, he spoke to Yang Mingchen, while muttering silently to himself.

"Hmph, you brat, you're just using this excuse to coerce me, aren't you?"

Who would have thought, Yang Mingchen's lips trembled, and he let out a cold snort at once.

What the heck?

Ximen Wudi nearly broke down, especially seeing Yang Mingchen's cunning, sly look, and his heart couldn't help but thump violently.

Damn it!

This old coot actually guessed his purpose right away—that's not scientific.

"Hahaha, Ximen Wudi, this old man knows you very well. If you want me to act, unless…"

Whoosh!

Before Yang Mingchen could continue, Ximen Wudi immediately reached out and grabbed his arm, and with a single leap, darted up onto the roof.

Holy crap!

What is the Yang family's security system even for?

It didn't react at all just now. Luckily, I was alert, otherwise I'd have been done for today.

After cursing in his heart, he began carefully surveying his surroundings, pondering how to escape this place.

"Ximen Wudi, what are you doing?"

However, just as he was lost in his own thoughts, a sharp, angry shout suddenly startled him.

Damn!

So this girl was monitoring my every move, almost causing me to blow my cover!

"Ahem, I'm just checking the surroundings. After all, this building is an old house. What if someone drops a brick from the ceiling? Both my old man and I would be done for."

After a slight hesitation, Ximen Wudi finally spoke with a tone of helplessness, and a hint of awkwardness showed on his face.

Pfft!

Hearing his words, Yang Qian on the side immediately glared, nearly spitting out a mouthful of saliva on the spot.

Damn!

This excuse is way too far-fetched!

Even she had never considered such a thing!

"Bullshit! My family's protective measures are the safest in all of China. How could such a thing possibly happen?"

Hearing Ximen Wudi's words, Yang Mingchen immediately glared and furiously rebuked him.

Holy crap!

This old coot is really cautious enough. Looks like this matter is far more difficult than expected.

"Heh, just taking precautions before they happen!"

"I don't care. If you don't cure my old man's illness today, I won't let you off."

"Can you bear to?"

"Bah!"

……

Yang Mingchen and Yang Qian argued with great enthusiasm, leaving Ximen Wudi dumbfounded.

It's just rheumatoid arthritis, is it really necessary to argue like this?

"Alright, stop arguing. Master, this old back pain of yours does exist, but it's no longer serious now, so acupuncture isn't needed at all. Just one pill will be enough."

After observing for a moment, he suddenly turned to Yang Mingchen and explained seriously, and took out the pill he had prepared.

Hiss!

This…

However, when Yang Mingchen saw the porcelain bottle in Ximen Wudi's hand clearly, he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air, and a look of utter astonishment spread across his face.

He recognized the pill in this porcelain bottle—it was the Muscle-Nourishing Jade Dew Pill unique to Xiao Family Village, which could rapidly heal injuries.

Although he had never seen it himself, he had dabbled in medicine, so he was quite familiar with this pill.

"Th-this… is this the Muscle-Nourishing Jade Dew Pill you mentioned?"

Yang Mingchen's eyes immediately narrowed, and he stared at Ximen Wudi and asked at once.

"That's right, this is the Muscle-Nourishing Jade Dew Pill I newly developed, just a beginner version. If the effects are better, it'll be even more efficacious—it'll definitely let you, old man, return to your peak."

Ximen Wudi gave a faint smile, then immediately began explaining to Yang Mingchen, his tone clearly filled with certainty.

Huh?

"Brat, this thing is too precious—I can't take it."

Hearing Ximen Wudi's words, Yang Mingchen was instantly stunned, immediately waved his hand, and refused.

"Master, we're all family, why stand on ceremony?"

Ximen Wudi curled his lips, then immediately opened his mouth with a smile and explained.

"What do you know? My old Yang family already owes the Xiao family more than enough—I can't accept this."

But Yang Mingchen still stubbornly shook his head, his attitude very obstinate, making Ximen Wudi break into a rueful smile.

"Fine, since the old man says no, then let's keep it for now. One day I'll refine another furnace of them."

Ximen Wudi sighed, then slowly explained.

This…

Hearing these words, Yang Mingchen immediately frowned, his heart growing even more puzzled.

He didn't know why Ximen Wudi would say such a thing—could he have already reached the pill-refining stage?

"You're not just bullshitting me, are you!"

The next moment, Yang Mingchen finally couldn't hold back and asked.

Gah!

Holy crap!

I really did refine them before, and even personally fed three pills to someone—pity it had no effect at all!

Looking at Yang Mingchen's disbelieving look, he couldn't help but secretly curl his lip, revealing a look of contempt.

"Hmph, do whatever you want—I'm not planning to send it to you anyway."

Ximen Wudi cast him a contemptuous glance, then immediately said, without lingering, he flashed his body and dashed toward the second floor.

Tch!

If you're not sending it, then don't—I'm not interested either.

Watching Ximen Wudi's departing back, Yang Mingchen couldn't help but curse viciously in his heart.

Hoo!
