Chapter 302: All Are Satisfied
Translator: TransnEditor: Transn
Prince Long Qing had the most promise amongst the younger generation of the Haotian Taoism. He was the Priest of the Judicial Department and was the beauty who attracted women to the Taoist sect. However, he had been crippled in both body and spirit by an arrow on the Tianqi Mountains.
Ning Que's arrow had robbed the West-Hill Divine Palace of their future Great Divine Priest of Judgment or perhaps even someone who could be even more important. How could the Divine Hall not be furious? And how would the Great Divine Priest of Judgment let him off?
Even if the West-Hill Divine Palace gave face to the Headmaster of the Academy and the Academy and not kill him, they would surely want him to pay a heavy price. Ning Que shuddered every time he thought of bigwigs like the Great Divine Priest of Judgment teaching him a lesson. That was why he had said that to Ye Hongyu.
His intention had been to find out how angry the Divine Hall could get. He did not expect Ye Hongyu to promise that the Great Divine Priest of Judgment would not give him any trouble. This answer confused him. It was understandable if the Tao Addict did not care that Prince Long Qing had been crippled if she and Prince Long Qing had an existing feud. But how could she promise that the Great Divine Priest of Judgment would not be angry?
”Why?” He asked in confusion as he stared into Ye Hongyu's eyes.
Ye Hongyu did not answer his question. She looked down at the terrifying bloody hole in her shoulder and annoyance flashed in her eyes. She asked, ”How long do you need to treat my wounds?”
Ning Que riffled through his luggage to find suitable tools. He said, ”It wouldn't take long if we were just staunching the bleed and removing the rot. But the old monk had taken two vicious bites and that dude hadn't brushed his teeth for decades. He was so filthy, and god knows what kind of poison he had in his saliva. We might need to get cut off some flesh later.”
Mo Shanshan had moved towards the two. She looked at Ye Hongyu's wounds and pity flashed through her face as she furrowed her brows. She felt disgusted as she heard Ning Que's reply.
Ye Hongyu did not react. She said calmly, ”He did not brush his teeth indeed. I can confirm that since I had been bitten by him.”
Ning Que lowered his head and answered, ”Filthy and smelly saliva is also troublesome.”
Mo Shanshan could not help but interject weakly, ”Aren't you two disgusted saying that?”
Ning Que and Ye Hongyu lifted their heads at the same time and looked at Mo Shanshan. She was pure and innocent like a white bunny. And then, they shook their heads simultaneously as they both felt that someone like Mo Shanshan who had never experienced truly disgusting things was so fortunate it made one furious.
Ye Hongyu continued her discussion with Ning Que, ” Taoists Law is based on the strength of light. It will not be affected by regular poison. You do not have to worry that the poison will remain hidden in flesh and bones to cause further problems.”
Ning Que procured some needle and thread and said to her earnestly, ”Wounds heal fastest after suturing. The thing is, that old monk took off too much flesh. If we use this treatment, there is a chance that there will be two pits left on your shoulder and arm in the future.”
Ye Hongyu furrowed her brows and said impatiently, ”So what if there will be two pits?”
Ning Que shook his head as he sutured, ”It won't look good. I thought you would mind.”
Ye Hongyu said contemptuously, ”Only those of the mortal world would care about this.”
Ning Que lowered his head to look at the bloody gouge on her shoulder. He answered flippantly as he considered where to start with, ”Your figure is great and you like wearing flowy red skirts. It'd look weird if there were two pits on your body that is not covered. Even if you do not care, you have to think of the Divine Hall. You are the Tao Addict, the spokesperson of the Divine Hall. You have to look good.”
”I will start wearing the taoist robe from now on.”
Ye Hongyu said. And then she fell silent for a moment before she suddenly reached out for a dangling piece of flesh by the gouge and placed it on the gouge. She asked in a low voice, ”If you sew it like this... will the pit be smaller?”
Was there any teenage girl who did not care about their outward appearance? The Tao Addict was no exception.
Ning Que did not notice the hidden meaning in her tone, which was why he did not take the opportunity to make any jibes at her. His gaze was fully attracted to her fingers and action. His fingers clutching the needle trembled slightly.
There were few in the world who could remain as calm after being bitten alive by a ghostly old monk. She could even flip a dangling piece of flash back as if the body did not belong to her.
Ning Que knew that she had to be in pain, but he did not see any trace of it on her face. He was surprised and even regretful. He had not met someone who was as ruthless as he was in a long time. Should he have killed her before he did anything else when he met someone like that?
”Start suturing,” Ye Hongyu said emotionlessly. ”Don't hesitate.”
Ning Que could not repress his sigh. He thought to himself, that she would have long been dead if he had not hesitated.
The fine needle pierced her pale skin, through the layers of flesh and back, stitching a line through the girl's delicate shoulder. Ye Hongyu looked on silently. She did not call out in pain, but her beautiful face grew pale.
