The two were not acquainted, but the young man’s face was unbelievably familiar, having seen each other around daily. However, the young man did not seem to be in good condition. His face was pale, his eyes devoid of energy. He put one hand against the wall. It seemed like he had to do that, otherwise he would not even be able to stand up straight.

“Like you, Li Shizhen’s skin,” Li Bai said.

Bian Que restrained the angry Li Shizhen as he advised, “Don’t be angry. Don’t stoop to the same level as a patient.”

Li Shizhen glared viciously at Mo Fei, who waved her hands to absolve herself of any blame.

Li Bai waved to him. Li Xianyu made his way over and stood by the bedside, supporting himself against the wall.

Li Bai sat up with some difficulty and looked at him as he muttered, “On the verge of death, I managed to sit up. With a smile, may I know where you are from?”

Li Xianyu froze as he looked at Li Bai’s shiny eyes. He suddenly snapped out of his trance as he realised that Li Bai was trying to befriend him through poetry.

You’re left with half your fucking life, yet you still have the mood to do poetry...

He pushed Li Bai back onto the bed and replied, “Don’t ask who I am, I’ve become the laughing stock of the chat.”

“Pfft!” Thunderbolt Battle Lady laughed as she struggled to speak a word.

Li Bai sat up with great difficulty again and held his hand. In a desolate voice, he replied, “No matter where you’re from, you’re always my friend. Now, can I have some blood?”

Once the formalities had been dispensed with, he instantly requested for blood.

Of course not. Li Xianyu shook his head and pressed him back onto the bed again. “All humans die, why not just hang yourself?”

Li Bai refused to concede defeat as he continued to sit up. However, Li Xianyu pressed him back against the bed every time as he rattled off like a machine gun:

“After the storm, hang yourself.

When the grandfather visits with his daughter, hang yourself.

Sitting in the bamboo forest, hang yourself.

When the beauty closes the curtains, hang yourself.

There’s no meaning in life, just hang yourself.

Two yellow birds chirp by the willow plant, one hangs itself.

.....”

“I... I... I... I don’t want blood anymore. Let go of me.” Li Bai struggled for his life. “King, save me.”

Bian Que was observant enough to remind Li Xianyu. “You’re pressing against his chest. He’s left with just half his heart, it hasn’t fully regenerated yet.”

“Oh.” Li Xianyu let go swiftly and replied awkwardly, “I really have no blood left... My powers have a limit too. You have to know that my waist isn’t in good condition now. It still hurts. However, Elder Bian Que agreed to cure it for me...”

He looked at Mo Fei and Thunderbolt Battle Lady. It wasn’t the best thing for his dignity to admit his kidney condition in front of beautiful women. Hence, he changed his words. “After Elder Bian Que cures my condition, I’ll give you some blood.”

Bian Que nodded his head in agreement. “Don’t worry, leave it to me. I’ll cure this in at most a week.”

After he said his words, Bian Que caught Li Shizhen and Lightning King giving him a peculiar look. Their expressions were strange. It resembled more like a side eye. That was a strange expression. It looked somewhat like pity, yet laughing at his misfortunes. Bian Que replied with a suspicious look.

Li Shizhen looked at Lightning King, as the latter tilted his head back. Li Shizhen dragged his senior out and closed the door, saying in a low voice, “Did this fella ask you to cure his kidney condition, and that you agreed?”

Bian Que nodded.

Li Shizhen said, “Did you promise him anything?”

Bian Que replied, “It’s just kidney overload. It’s a small thing. I told him that if I couldn’t cure it, I’d pay him 50 points.”

After that, he saw Li Shizhen staring at him with a sympathetic look.

Bian Que started to panic as he asked, “What’s the matter? What’s with your expression and Lightning King’s?”

Li Shizhen replied, “It’s just kidney overload, no doubt. His ancestors all had that condition. It’s hereditary. Remember 25 years ago, when I was pestered by a guy for three days?”

Bian Que nodded. “Li Wuxiang... are you referring to him?”

Li Shizhen gestured for him to keep quiet. “He’s Li Wuxiang’s son, War Spirit Wushuang’s descendant. The Li family’s condition is not a disease, it’s a curse. So what if you can cure it? When she sucks the essence out of him again, it will be back to square one.”

Bian Que’s eyes widened.

Li Shizhen said, “This is a secret. Don’t spread it. Also, you have to fulfil whatever you have promised. 50 points, you’ve wasted half a year’s worth of efforts.”

Bian Que slumped backwards onto the wall lifelessly.

Li Shizhen saw him in this state, and gave him a suggestion. “If you feel indignant, you can con Hua Tuo and Sun Simiao.”

Bian Que’s expression changed from that of defeat to hopefulness, just like when the first guy who dropped into a pit saw the second unlucky one.

In the room, the small loli, having finally had her chance, tugged at Li Xianyu’s sleeves. She looked up in awe and said, “Brother, you’re good. Everyone in the company doesn’t have to worry when they’re injured in the future. You’re a good man, you’ll have a good life.”

This small loli was pretty and exquisite, and very likeable as well. Li Xianyu patted her head and replied, “Thank you. You must be Tongtong...”

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically as he felt an acute pain around his waist. He curled up on the floor in pain, breaking out in sweat.

Tongtong shouted, “Brother, what happened? What happened? You must...”

The burly King Kong covered her mouth swiftly.

Hua Tuo took his pulse and remarked, “It’s nothing. You’ll recover after a while.”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady pulled a chair over and helped Li Xianyu sit on it. Gently, she said, “Just rest for awhile. It’s okay.”

Li Xianyu looked at her face closely. Her skin was fair and glowed a healthy red. Her lips were crimson, her nose was defined and her eyebrows were sharp. Her eyes glinted – it was the aura of a true beauty.

She was indeed a gentle person. Li Xianyu thought to himself. In this wretched company, she was the only big sister who deserved this praise of his.

“Thanks,” he replied.

Thunderbolt Battle Lady smiled.

Mo Fei picked up the small loli and spanked her butt cheeks twice. Angrily, she said, “I told you not to say anything, but you didn’t listen! Uncle Li Bai nearly died because of you. Isn’t this lesson enough?”

The small loli looked pitiful as she pleaded, “Sorry, sorry...”

Mo Fei replied, “Li Shizhen’s skin, Li Bai, take a rest first. I’ll leave with her.”

She carried the small loli outside and closed the door. Li Shizhen’s angry voice echoed out from the other side of the room as he shouted, “He’s not my skin. I’ll complain about you if you call me this again.”

Mo Fei said, “Alright, alright. You’re an old man already, yet you’re holding grudges against a small girl like me.”

Lightning King responded, “Your... never mind, I’ll leave first.”

Li Xianyu said, “King, please wait awhile.”

He pulled the Lightning King to the bedside and whispered, “Although Great-Grandma is protecting me, but I feel insecure and unsafe. What if someone captures me as his pet?”

Lightning King froze for a few seconds before he got what he meant. Deeply, he replied, “Regeneration abilities are only effective on yourself. However, yours is out of this world. We are a family here. We won’t covet after you. However, if this spreads to the outside world, we can’t guarantee anything.”

He gathered everyone’s attention as he coughed. In a low voice, he declared, “Li Xianyu’s powers are critical to us. Don’t spread this out.”

The people present were street smart. They nodded seriously in reply.

Lightning King proceeded to say, “If there’s something like this again, don’t need to show your face. Just send your blood over.” After he finished his words, he patted his shoulders and remarked, “Actually, compared to your powers, your family line is a greater prospect. If I remember correctly, your great-grandfather experienced something like this. He was imprisoned by the various big families for a whole 10 years. Every day, a different woman was assigned to him, in order for him to give birth to high-quality offspring. Those families do provide a lot of beauties. If they managed to control your offspring, they would control War Spirit Wushuang. Additionally, you have the clues to the Great Deities Palace on your body, ha ha...”

As he heard these words, he was utterly stunned in envy. “That was probably the most glorified generation of my family...”

Lightning King was speechless.

Hua Tuo and Sun Simiao took their leave as well.

After a momentary silence, Li Xianyu asked, “What’s the matter with Tongtong?”

Because of her words just now, Li Bai had indeed nearly died. His waist pain was evidently caused by her as well.

Thunderbolt Battle Lady managed a bitter smile as she said, “Her ability is to curse people. It’s powerful. In demonic descendants’ history, there was this guy called Liu Xiu, who was famous for this ability.”

“Liu Xiu...” Li Xianyu reacted fiercely. “The emperor-like guy, Liu Xiu?”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady poured a cup of water for Li Xianyu and explained, “Yes. He was a demonic descendant with the special ability to curse. His most famous encounter was that he caused a meteor shower with his words. The history books recorded it as an event where meteors descended from the sky at night, causing epic destruction.”

She saw Li Xianyu twiddling with his fingers with strength. She froze and asked, “What are you doing? Your hand is uncomfortable as well?”

“No, I’m pretending to tear the history books,” Li Xianyu replied. “Did Tongtong curse me?”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady said helplessly, “Tongtong awakened when she was four. However, her brain has not fully developed yet. Hence, there were some problems with her powers. The nature of her curse became the opposite. She can’t control it. Whatever good words she says would turn into a curse. For example, she wished you a life of peace. Hence, you felt that sensation of pain.”

Wasn’t this a jinx?! Li Xianyu was utterly disappointed as he mumbled to himself, “I knew it. I knew it. This company doesn’t have a normal person at all.”

King Kong rolled his eyes and retorted, “Do you think you’re very normal then?”

Li Xianyu looked at him with suspicion. Thunderbolt Battle Lady introduced him as King Kong.

Li Xianyu said, “Pfft, so you’re King Kong.”

King Kong asked, “Why did you laugh?”

He reached out his arm to slap him. Thunderbolt Battle Lady frowned and stood in front of him.

The burly King Kong, seeing this sight, acted as if he had been bitten by a poisonous scorpion. He was like a woman who had just seen a cockroach, retreating towards the corners of the walls and covering his own hand. He was utterly relieved that he had avoided a disaster by touching a woman. Then, the only solution for him was to cut off his own hand. There was no other way.
