Volume 1, Chapter 66: Wu Cheng'en Contracts Tuberculosis and Enters the Medical Clinic

Xia Jingtian never expected that the elderly scholar brought back by Li Shizhen would actually be Wu Chengen, the author of the four great classic novels, Journey to the West.

"You are Wu Chengen? I will sponsor your Journey to the West. I'll give you fifty taels of gold to publish your book. Seeing that you have a cough, you probably have a lung condition; I'll treat you for free. You are my idol, after all," Xia Jingtian said with excitement.

Wu Chengen wore a look of utter bewilderment, never imagining that Xia Jingtian would actually pull out fifty taels of gold to sponsor his book publication.

"Doctor Xia, are you serious? You really want to take out fifty taels of gold to help me publish my book? My book only has about seven to eight hundred thousand words, not as many words as Imperial Physician Li's medical books..."

Every word and action of hers was planned with that man in mind, thinking that this would ease the conflict between her uncle and nephew?

Now, Tang Ning'an felt that she must have been a fool back then. When a man gave her ten million to spend, she had actually felt resentful about it. Such pie-in-the-sky windfalls were not things everyone could encounter.

The two of them laughed and frolicked until late into the night, then lay down right there to sleep under the starry sky and the moonlight.

Her heart was originally in utter turmoil. Because of an inexplicable misunderstanding, the entire Fuyao Sect now mistakenly believed she was the fiancée of the man before her.

Deeply worried at this moment, she parted her lips to ask, "Is something wrong?" Her eyes were also filled with a concerned expression.

The surrounding space completely shattered, and the phantom of a colossal, peerless Kunpeng beast was born.

Although these weapons were not fatally dangerous to the immortals present, they could still cause quite a bit of trouble for them. Unfortunately, for the two whose minds were completely occupied by fear, this thought never crossed their minds.

Suddenly, Sun Hui seemed to have received some kind of shock. She opened her eyes wide, then tightly shut them again, before covering her ears and screaming out loud.

Song Ruyu clicked her tongue inwardly, feeling a sense of imbalance in her heart. She picked up the bag of medicine steamed in the pot beside her and tossed it into the tray. Testing the temperature with her hand until it had cooled down sufficiently, she placed the steaming medicine pouch onto Lin Sixian's lower back. Lin Sixian let out a soft hiss, the muscles on her back trembling slightly as she endured the scalding heat.

Yun Feiyue and Han Weier exchanged an instinctive glance and shared a knowing smile. Yun Feiyue knew very well that her maternal aunt had always preferred a light diet and disliked overly greasy food. Food shabu-shabu'd like this was not only non-greasy but also neither too dry nor too moist, which should suit her aunt's palate perfectly.

"What do you mean by 'used to be a world-renowned person'? I am still a world-renowned professional assassin right now, alright?" Bullet solemnly corrected Ruiko's words.

"Well, there's no evidence yet, but it's already certain to be someone from the Association's headquarters. What's wrong with you? Your complexion is so bad." Ling walked closer only to notice that Kate's complexion was terrible. Although his skin had always been quite pale with very little blood color, he had at least looked energetic before; but now he seemed to have suddenly grown much weaker.

Without caring about anything else, the red mark on the back of his right hand flashed, and a wave of invisible ripples swept past.

After walking for a short while, I noticed a large crowd of people ahead, gathered around a massive boulder where everyone was queuing up. Several netherworld guards were checking the passersby, much like ticket collectors. As I drew closer, I saw three crimson characters inscribed upon the boulder: Wangxiang Terrace (Territory of Home Viewing).

Just like in a low-tech world, theoretically, you could never cultivate the internal martial arts of a martial arts world. In a ship-girl world, you could likewise never use the magic of a magical world.

Everyone reviewed Lance's expression, then suddenly seemed to understand something. Afterward, they all opened the passport booklets in their hands. Sure enough, although the photographs still showed their own faces, the names had undergone earth-shattering changes.

"What on earth are you trying to say?" Ling knew that the "serious business" Kate mentioned would never be anything serious.

To occupy this strategic stronghold, cut off communications between Beiping and various places in the south, and subsequently control the authorities in northern China, completely detaching North China from the central government of China.

Liang Jun gently uttered two words, and his imperial jade seal instantly burst with golden light. Immediately following that, the holy temple responded to the call of the national destiny, and a hundred years of accumulated literary talent and scholarly aura instantly surged outward in all directions.

"No, this is too dangerous. If we go, we go together." Jill grabbed Xiao Han's arm and shook her head at him.

Hearing this, the tense Chie Yui by the side couldn't help but let out a breath of relief, turning her head to look at Yashiro Sora.

Instinctively raising her head, she looked at Inspector Megure, who was conversing with the police officers, and the forensic personnel busy nearby.

"I'm very sorry, I still have matters to attend to, so I won't get involved." Hao Ge nodded politely to her, waved to the audience, and stepped down from the stage.

Stuffing all of these into the truck, she finally closed the vehicle doors and drove forward.

However, after being comforted by Vivier to look at the bigger picture, he still reined in his temper and tried his best to accept the situation.

The martial arts sects knew very well that in this martial arts tournament, Fang Lin would make his debut in the pugilistic world with an absolutely stunning posture.

Luo Xiu looked into the distance, where a patch of dark shadow was slowly approaching them in the dim sky.

Seeing his unusual tone and the fact that his previous forceful momentum seemed to be instantly suppressed by her words, a trace of pride naturally welled up in her maiden heart.

"What on earth happened? What are you all looking at here?" Jia Huan chuckled and asked her.

Wang Tianxing's expression subsequently sank, and he mentally prepared himself for the worst. After all, they were newly recruited... Therefore, some things could no longer be handled with such absolute dominance as in Roselle City.

For the first few hundreds of meters, Liang Xiaobai took a slight lead, and after rounding the first curve, he extended his lead to several tens of meters.

This utterance carried a measure of guilt and regret. The bond of growing up together had not been completely worn away; the familiar form of address evoked memories of yesteryear, and his heart had not completely turned to ice.

Seeing those other two individuals immediately begin rummaging through the things on the table the moment they walked into the shop, Wang Kun instantly became displeased. What the hell, was the front desk something anyone could just rifle through?

As the host, Han Feng naturally had to treat the two of them properly, since they were, after all, considered business partners.

Lin Qihua believed that when this drama aired, it would definitely usher in a new wave of viewing frenzy; he had this confidence.

A minute later, Lao Wang's shamelessness upgraded once again. That groping hand moved slightly upward, then sank downward, skillfully bypassing the round collar of the pajamas and reaching inside.

"Humph! This is called 'all is fair in war and deception'; you humans are just this arrogant!" The man from the Yao-Barbarian tribe sneered and said.

If such a matter were found out by the spies of the Later Jin Kingdom of the Jianzhou Jurchens, perhaps the effect would be even better.
