Chapter 114
Old Sixth Hui’s words left everyone present deeply moved.
Chen Daji, who always wore his heart on his sleeve, started cursing on the spot.
“Old… Old Immortal, if anyone ever dares say your family’s lives are cheap again, I’ll smash their windows with my slingshot!”
“And when I get back, I’ll have my dad put up the money to build a farm just for raising mice!”
“We’ll hire twenty veterinarians whose only job is to look after your whole family!”
“If twenty aren’t enough, just say the word and we’ll hire more!”
Chen Daji’s righteous declaration moved Old Sixth Hui to no end.
Of course, he couldn’t actually let him do that.
If they built a farm specifically to breed mice, wouldn’t they end up multiplying into a disaster?
How were the other animals supposed to survive then?
As the saying went, every sip and every bite had its fate.
If one forcibly went against that, Retribution would surely follow!
Shaking off the jumble of thoughts in his mind, Old Sixth Hui looked gratefully at Chen Daji.
“I appreciate the kindness!”
“Just for what you said just now, you’re a friend I, Old Sixth Hui, am determined to make!”
“From now on, don’t call me Old Immortal either. Same as the young master physician, just call me Sixth Brother!”
Chen Daji was overjoyed, grinning as he called out “Sixth Brother” again and again.
“Sixth Brother, if I accidentally say the wrong thing in the future, could you not stuff dirt down my throat?”
“That crap tastes awful. Gives me stomachaches and the runs too!”
Old Sixth Hui hesitated for a moment, then replied rather sheepishly.
“Brother Daji, the most I can promise is to stuff in a little less…”
Chen Daji instantly wilted, grumbling inwardly,
Damn it, what kind of human decency is that?!
Just as Hua Jiunan was wondering how he could help Old Sixth Hui, he suddenly remembered the pills he had refined back when he was bored:
three Tiger Soul Dragon-Transporting Pills made from thousand-year spirit materials!
That batch had used up a full half of the spirit materials the Snow Corpse had left him!
“Sixth Brother, take these three pills.”
“They may not make a severed arm grow back, but they should be useful to you!”
Hu Qingshan knew what they were and cried out in shock at once.
“This… this is… Tiger Soul Dragon-Transporting Pill?!!!”
Equally shocked was Bai Wuwei, the head of the Bai Family.
After seeing a pill that should almost never appear in the world, Bai Wuwei’s expression turned wonderfully complicated:
first shock, then greed, then restraint, and finally a bitter laugh.
“Brother Hui truly has a blessed fate, to receive such favor from the young master physician!”
“Hurry up and put the pills away, or I really won’t be able to control the urge to snatch them…”
Hu Qingshan was much better than Bai Wuwei in that regard, but even he kept smiling bitterly.
“Brother Bai is right.”
“If the young master physician weren’t here, I’d make a move to seize them even if it meant going to war with the Gray Immortal lineage!”
With both of them saying that, how could Old Sixth Hui not understand how precious the Tiger Soul Dragon-Transporting Pill was?
His first reaction was to refuse. But when he saw the sincerity in Hua Jiunan’s eyes, the words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down.
He merely let out a soft sigh.
“Young master physician, I’m already crippled now, nothing but a useless old thing.”
“You should keep something this precious for yourself! It really shouldn’t be wasted on me!”
Hua Jiunan did not say much. He took Old Sixth Hui’s only arm and spoke softly.
“From today on, my arm is your arm, Sixth Brother!”
“We’ll eat and drink together, travel and sleep together. Whatever is inconvenient for you, I’ll take care of it!”
Hearing Hua Jiunan’s words, everyone present was deeply touched, especially Old Sixth Hui.
But at a moment like this, Chen Daji was bound to think differently from everyone else.
The guy hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
“Big Brother, I just did the math carefully. The two of you together would be ‘three hands’… you know, a thief…”
As soon as Chen Daji finished speaking, before Hua Jiunan could kick him, Old Sixth Hui grabbed a huge handful of dirt at lightning speed and stuffed it into Chen Daji’s mouth with a puff.
Then he slapped him once, making sure not a single bit was wasted. It all went straight into Chen Daji’s stomach.
Chen Daji retched again and again.
“Damn it, Sixth Brother Hui, that’s not fair!”
“You just promised you’d stuff in a little less…”
Amid everyone’s laughter and scuffling, the keen-eyed Hu Fei’er suddenly pointed at Old Sixth Hui’s severed arm and said in surprise,
“An Incense-Fire Body!”
Tiny specks of fluorescent light were gathering at the stump of Old Sixth Hui’s broken arm.
It looked just like someone using a 3D printer at high speed.
Before long, the lights actually formed a half-transparent arm.
