"Master, if you ever need anything in the future, don't hesitate to come to me. I, Luo Yuntian, owe you a life, a debt that no amount of money can repay."
With the pain gone, Luo Yuntian was in high spirits.
"No problem, no problem."
Lin Fan casually put the business card into his pocket. "By the way, old sir, have you offended anyone strange or met anyone unusual recently?"
Luo Yuntian's expression changed. "Master means that my illness was caused intentionally?"
Lin Fan nodded. "Exactly."
"I will get to the bottom of this," Luo Yuntian said.
"Remember to tell me when you find out."
Lin Fan didn't think Luo Yuntian had the ability to deal with a sorcerer.
This kind of act of righteousness had to be handled by him.
"Although the root of your illness has been cured, there are still some toxins remaining in your body. Come to Xiao Fan's Medical Hall in Luofeng Village tomorrow, and I'll prescribe some medicine for you," Lin Fan instructed.
"Thank you."
Luo Yuntian thanked him and left with his granddaughter.
Lin Fan, with cash in hand, browsed several women's clothing stores, each treating him like their own father.
He spent over three thousand yuan, a considerable sum, on two beautiful dresses.
Then, he bought some braised beef and roast chicken before heading home.
...
The next morning, Lin Fan, who was fast asleep, was forcefully woken by Xia Xue.
"Sister-in-law, don't push, let me sleep a little longer."
Lin Fan turned over, not even opening his eyes.
*Slap!*
Xia Xue slapped him. "Get up quickly. Aunt Li just said that a young girl was looking for you at the medical hall, seemingly to get some medicine."
Lin Fan suddenly sat up. He had forgotten about Luo Yuntian's matter and had promised to get him medicine today. But did she have to come so early?
He glanced at the time and realized it was almost nine o'clock.
"Sister-in-law, you eat breakfast first. I'll be back shortly."
He didn't even have time to pee and rushed out frantically.
Luo Yuntian was a big client. He was counting on him to help advertise in the city and attract more important figures to seek his treatment.
He couldn't afford to be negligent!
"Why hasn't this Lin Fan arrived yet?"
Luo Qiqi aimlessly kicked a small stone by the entrance of the medical hall, mumbling to herself.
She was wearing overalls today, looking pure and adorable, but her demeanor couldn't hide her spoiled and willful nature as a young lady.
"Grandpa is really something. He could have just sent a servant for such a small matter. He insisted that I come in person."
"He also said Lin Fan is a divine doctor and that coming in person shows sincerity. And to give him a hundred thousand yuan, as a small token of appreciation..."
Luo Qiqi mimicked her grandfather's tone as she muttered.
Suddenly, she clamped her legs together tightly, a look of panic flashing across her face.
"Oh no, I drank too much water on the way. I need to pee!"
Luo Qiqi scanned her surroundings, her gaze finally falling on the outhouse in the yard, her large, watery eyes widening.
"This countryside is so backward. They still have open-air outhouses like this."
She complained and walked over with small steps.
Fortunately, the outhouse was cleaned meticulously, and there was even a deodorizing mugwort incense burning inside.
*Gurgle...*
"Ah, so comfortable."
A look of blissful relief appeared on Luo Qiqi's face.
On the other side.
Lin Fan, who had just woken up, also desperately needed to pee.
He ran into the medical hall like the Monkey King leaping out of a stone, frolicking on the seashore, covering his crotch with both hands and hopping erratically.
"Huh? The main door is open?"
"Oh, right. Luo Qiqi is here."
Lin Fan quickly scanned the area. He didn't see Luo Qiqi and assumed she was inside the house. Without a second thought, he dashed into the outhouse.
However, as he unzipped his pants and reached in with his right hand, Lin Fan froze.
A snow-white brilliance almost blinded him!
And then...
"Ah! Pervert!"
Following closely behind was Luo Qiqi's piercing scream.
Lin Fan, startled, held back his urge. "What are you doing here?"
"Get out!"
Luo Qiqi, her face red, screamed and threw the paper in her hand at him.
"Oh."
Lin Fan glanced at it and chuckled.
"Come back!"
Behind him, Luo Qiqi's gritted voice could be heard.
"What? Haven't you seen enough?" Lin Fan teased.
"That... give me back the paper!"
Luo Qiqi, blushing furiously, extended her fair, slender hand.
Lin Fan picked up the paper from the ground and tossed it back before leaving, still clutching his crotch.
He was about to burst, especially hearing the rushing sound of water inside, making it even harder to hold on.
A moment later, the outhouse fell silent.
Luo Qiqi pulled up her pants and walked out with a dark expression.
If looks could kill, Lin Fan would have been sliced into a thousand pieces by now.
"Lin Fan, you..."
"We can talk about this later. I can't hold it any longer."
Lin Fan scurried back into the outhouse and fiercely poured water onto the puddle of stains in the pit.
Having completely relieved himself, his soul trembled, and he let out a sigh of relief.
"You're here to get medicine, right?"
Lin Fan said with a smile as he adjusted his pants.
"You... you should fix your clothes first!"
Luo Qiqi covered her eyes, leaving a small gap between her fingers.
"If you want to look, look openly. Why sneak around?" Lin Fan teased with a smile.
"Ptooey! Who wants to look at you!"
Luo Qiqi lowered her hand, put her hands on her hips, and looked adorable in her anger.
"You scoundrel, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"
She clenched her small fists and questioned him angrily.
"Miss, you're too narcissistic. I have X-ray vision, so why would I... No, no, no! I was in a hurry to pee, I honestly didn't know you were inside."
Lin Fan, in his haste, almost let slip his secret.
He hadn't even told his sister-in-law about his ability to see through things, as it wasn't exactly a proper divine ability.
Luo Qiqi, furious, lost some of her reason and assumed he was talking nonsense.
"Even if you didn't know, you should have heard me!"
"Heard what?"
Lin Fan grinned wickedly and leaned in.
"I..."
Luo Qiqi hesitated, stamping her feet in anger.
Lin Fan burst into laughter and stopped teasing her. He turned to walk outside. "Let's go."
"Wh-what for?"
Luo Qiqi was a bit bewildered.
The medical hall was behind them. What was he going out for?
"To go up the mountain to gather herbs," Lin Fan said without looking back.
Luo Qiqi followed him. "Aren't the herbs in the house?"
"Your grandfather's illness cannot be cured by ordinary medicine. We have to go to the mountains to find poisonous insects and other medicinal ingredients," Lin Fan explained.
Luo Qiqi was surprised. "Poisonous insects can also cure illnesses?"
"Scorpions, centipedes, snake skins, snake gallbladders, and so on, are all extremely precious medicinal materials. Don't tell me, as a Chinese person, you know nothing about traditional Chinese medicine," Lin Fan retorted.
Luo Qiqi suddenly understood. "No wonder you insisted that my grandfather come to you for medicine instead of writing a prescription yesterday."
"Ordinary medicine is available in any pharmacy. To completely remove the toxins in your grandfather's body, a special kind of insect is needed."
"..."
As they talked, the two arrived at the foot of Luofeng Mountain.
