BXBX NOVEL Chapter 161 - 161: Not Fight For Food, But Fight For Dignity
Xiao Yan’s deep voice was like intoxicating wine, making people intoxicated just by listening to it. It reddened Su Qian’s ears, and she shook her head without hesitation.
It wasn’t about the elixir. If it was about elixir, she also had elixir. It was just that this Mu Shui’s attitude was too arrogant, making her want to compete with this man.
In one’s lifetime, they might not fight for food but they will fight for dignity. Today, she wanted to exchange two fourth-grade elixirs for the Dragon-repelling Fruit!
“I won’t raise the price,” Su Qian said calmly.
“Heh.” Mu Shui snorted mockingly and immediately took out the two elixirs that he had agreed on. He continued to mock, “I knew young people like you wouldn’t have the qualifications to compete with us elders. Lao Chen, quickly give me the Dragon-repelling Fruit.”
Seeing Lao Chen’s expressionless face and realizing he was about to hand over the Dragon-repelling Fruit to Mu Shui, Su Qian’s lips curled into a nonchalant smile. “I won’t raise the price, but Mr. Chen, I can cure your leg.”
Lao Chen’s hand, which was about to give the Dragon-repelling Fruit to Mu Shui, suddenly froze in mid-air. Lao Chen looked at the confident Su Qian in astonishment.
Before Lao Chen could ask Su Qian, Mu Shui on the other side burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
“Hahahaha…! Miss, I know you young people like to brag and show off, but you should at least take your bragging seriously. To tell you the truth, Lao Chen’s leg has been crippled for over a decade! Back then, he had begged many big shots and all the famous doctors in the world examined his leg, but none of them could cure him. What can you do? 1 advise you, even if you can’t buy the elixir, it’s better to keep looking than to pretend to be something you’re not and end up losing face and reputation. How will you face the world?”
Everyone could tell that Mu Shui was deliberately provoking Su Qian, hoping to make her lose her temper and respond childishly.
However, Su Qian did not. It was as if she could not hear Mu Shui’s words. Her gaze was fixed on Lao Chen from the beginning to the end, and she smiled faintly and indifferently.
Mu Shui could not help but get angry after being ignored. He reached out to snatch the elixir from Lao Chen’s hand. “Lao Chen, don’t listen to this girl. How old is she? What can she do? Hurry up and give me the fruit!”
Before Mu Shui could touch Lao Chen, Lao Chen withdrew his hand and coldly glanced at Mu Shui.
Under everyone’s gaze, Lao Chen put the Dragon-repelling Fruit into his arms. His deep eyes were filled with passion as he stared at Su Qian and said hoarsely, “As long as you can cure my leg, I can give you the entire store, let alone the Dragon-repelling Fruit.”
Mu Shui could not laugh anymore. He frowned and said angrily, “Lao Chen, are you going senile? How can you believe the words of a little girl? Don’t forget, even I can’t cure your leg. I don’t believe she can.”
Xiao Yan glanced at Mu Shui from the corner of his eyes and said infuriatingly, “You’re useless, but it doesn’t mean that everyone else is the same as you.”
Mu Shui was choked by Xiao Yan’s words until his face turned red. He clenched his fists as if he wanted to give Xiao Yan a fierce beating. In the end, he forcefully endured it and sneered, “Alright, then I want to see how capable this girl is!”
Su Qian had a calm expression on her face throughout the whole ordeal. After walking to Lao Chen’s side, she asked him to sit down and then earnestly diagnosed him.
First, she took Lao Chen’s pulse. Then, Su Qian lifted Lao Chen’s pants and couldn’t help but frown.
Lao Chen’s crippled leg was not only thin and weak, but the skin had also completely ulcerated. The wound was pale, and the rotten smell was no longer masked by his pants. It immediately surged out, making people take a step back and subconsciously, feel nauseated..
