Chapter 20 (1/2)
Chapter 20 : ” I am not finished with you !”
This was the first time he had heard the words “Great Healthcare” used in this kind of context so of course Zuo s.h.i.+xian was interested in it.
After a sign from Hong Xiaobao, a few robust men brought a wooden basin full of hot water for Zuo s.h.i.+xian. A young girl scuttled behind these men.
After they left it on the ground, Zuo s.h.i.+xian could finally see what that thing was.
The shape of this wooden basin was very unusual, as it declined at about 45 degrees. It also had a cloth covering over the opening. Zuo s.h.i.+xian took his shoes off, and soaked his feet in the wooden bath tub.
The water inside was slightly hot, and it smelled like it had quite a few medicinal herbs brewed in it. When Zuo s.h.i.+xian soaked his feet in it, he s.h.i.+vered, and he almost moaned in pleasure.
At this moment, Hong Xiaobao explained “This is one of the Great Healthcare projects, I like to call it ‘Foot Remedy Bath’, there are a lot of superior herbs in this basin. I can guarantee that the recipe is effective. If, in addition to soaking your feet, you get ma.s.saged through all of the big acupuncture points on your legs, then this medicine’s Qi will enter your body and course through your meridians. Its effects are super quick, and I do recommend Protector Zuo to try it out!
“Good, good!” Feeling the little girl’s hands ma.s.saging him, Zuo s.h.i.+xian closed his eyes in delight and said with a smile “En, the effect is really superb ! My whole body is relaxed, ah! …These last few days I have hurried to meet with Ninth Prince, so my legs were really aching! But thanks to this, my ache is no more!”
At this time Qingqing was thinking of fabric covers purpose. She then understood that this barrel was used by both men, and women. And it would be unacceptable for a man to see women’s legs. Therefore, if female covered her legs with this cover, she wouldn’t have to be embarra.s.sed when using the Great Healthcare.
After a moment, three young man came through the entrance. It was Ye Jinning with his henchman. Apparently Ye Jinning finally came out of the latrine. This time he was really close to death, as he almost dehydrated himself. Even when he descended mountains to fight Demonic Beasts, he wasn’t in such a danger of losing his life.
After all, even if he received a wound, it would be quickly treated by the Exquisite Blood Jade. On the other hand, diarrhea was an illness, not a wound, so it was untreatable by Exquisite Blood Jade’s power.
“You d.a.m.ned Hong Xiaobao! This Father, I, is not finished with you!” Ye Jinning wished that he could skin Hong Xiaobao alive.
Although his status was roughly the same as Hong Xiaobao’s, and his strength was also higher than his, every time he fought with him, he always received the short end of the stick.
As a result Ye Jinning didn’t dare to trouble Hong Xiaobao directly, clearly the opposite party was prepared, so it would be meaningless for him to go and receive a beating yet again.
Therefore Ye Jinning’s train of thoughts was very simple. He asked his father to come and lay the cards down on the table for Hong Wenqing.Then Hong Xiaobao would have no other alternative than to show him the respect that he deserved.
“How’s that Hong Xiaobao? That Guan Juxiong is a 7-star martial artist, so there shouldn’t have been any problems, right?” Ye Jinning saw his fellow disciples run away, so his intuition told him that this matter didn’t end as predicted.
“Senior Brother Ye, that Guan Juxiong … he ….“ the two disciples looked at each other hesitantly. Finally one on the left swallowed his saliva, and said with a difficulty “Guan Juxiong was driven away by Hong Xiaobao’s words. He was also attacked by Saint Academy’s Protector, Zuo s.h.i.+xian.”
