Chapter 401 A Fist Is the Hard Truth (1/2)

Golden sunlight showered down at dawn, the jungle and the valley had awoken. Ning Tao walked out of the stone hut. He did not actually sleep in the stone hut last night, but instead, he had returned to Sky Clinic to practice his spiritual power and study the cultivation of his plant spiritual materials. He had sown the seeds of fruits and spiritual materials from Chen Pingdao in his own spiritual field.

He was still trying to recite the third line of Your Text: “There is no end in this sea of karma, I drift alone in its midst.” But his condition did not take a turn for the better. The moment he recited it, he felt so despondent as though all his hopes had been dashed. The whole world seemed inundated by an ocean, while he drifted about in the raging waves. Darkness engulfed him as he was overcome by loneliness and terror. The feeling was terrible.

He had figured out a pattern: each line of Your Text would be more difficult than the last. The first three lines were already so difficult. He could not imagine how abstruse they would get by the tenth or hundredth line. He did not even know if there would be a tenth or hundredth line of Your Text.

“Brother Ning!” It was Fan Huaying’s voice.

Ning Tao shifted his gaze. He saw Fan Huaying walk towards him in the golden shower of dawn. His confident eyes and steadfast steps informed one that he was in high spirits.

Ning Tao also opened his mouth to greet him. “Good morning, Brother Huaying.”

“Are your two wives back yet?” Fan Huaying drew near Ning Tao and asked.

Ning Tao said, “They came back and then left again.”

Fan Huaying said in surprise, “They came back and then left again?”

“They have matters to see to. Just let them be,” Ning Tao said. He could only explain it in this way. He could not tell Fan Huaying that he had opened a convenient door and sent Qing Zhui and Jiang Hao back to Beidu.

Fan Huaying smiled. “I know your wives are extraordinary women. But this country is at war, so it’s better for them to be a little more careful.”

Ning Tao changed the topic and smiled. “Brother Huaying, you must have had a great time last night.”

Fan Huaying was startled a little and then said embarrassedly, “I know what you are thinking. But it’s really not what you think.”

“Then what?”

Fan Huaying shrugged. “She has a cell phone made in Hua Country, but didn’t know how to use it. So she brought me to her house to teach her.”

“After that?”

Fan Huaying said, “I stayed for a while, and then left after teaching her.”

Ning Tao was speechless.

They must have taken off their pants to watch the cartoon series “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.”

However, this was quite normal. After all, Fan Huaying was a man with sophisticated taste. He would not have impregnated that tribal girl.

“I’m going back today,” Fan Huaying said. The topic just now was too awkward, so he would rather not continue it. “When are you going back?”

Ning Tao said, “Let me see you to the airport. After that, I will return and treat Chieftain Male Eagle.”

Fan Huaying lowered his voice. “Why don’t you leave with me? What happened last night made me understand this country and her natives clearly. They aren’t trustworthy. Their thoughts and customs are incomprehensible to us. You will be in grave danger if you stay here alone. If you really need those herbs, I can help you get them from elsewhere.”

Ning Tao gently clasped Fan Huaying’s shoulder and smiled. “That Male Eagle is only a little chick before me. He can’t threaten me. I have my own plans, so just let me be.”

Fan Huaying was silent for a moment before saying, “I know you are no ordinary man and possess some unfathomable abilities. Last night, a few hundred people tried to burn me to death, but you managed to save me by yourself. Very well, I won’t persuade you to leave with me. But don’t see me off too. A friend will take me to the airport; I will reach it safely. Let’s say goodbye here.”

Ning Tao nodded.

Fan Huaying left and Ning Tao returned to the residence of Chieftain Male Eagle. The latter was awaiting his return. Dozens of efficient tribal warriors were with him, all armed. Ning Tao saw the spiritual materials Fan Huaying bought him. They were placed on the ground before Chieftain Male Eagle. They were all spiritual ingredients needed for the third-version Ancestor-seeking Elixir.

Chieftain Male Eagle stood up, his face wreathed in smiles. He said in English, “Doctor Ning, I have already prepared quite a few herbs. They are all what you required. When will you treat my illness?”

Ning Tao said blandly, “Chieftain Male Eagle, these are herbs my friend bought from you for 5 million. The money he spent was mine. You wouldn’t regard these herbs as your treatment fee to me, would you?”

The smile on Chieftain Male Eagle’s face instantly froze.

Ning Tao’s figure suddenly streaked to just before the tribal warriors. His right arm waved and a cold light flashed. He stopped beside Male Eagle, the Blade of Solar Eclipse in his hand pressed against Chieftain Male Eagle’s neck. If Ning Tao gave his neck a light slash, blood would splatter and Chieftain Male Eagle would be dead.

Swish, swish…

Several rifles were sheared off by the Blade of the Solar Eclipse.

The atmosphere in this house instantly froze. The tribal warriors did not dare exhale a breath.

Cold sweat broke out on Chieftain Male Eagle’s forehead. His eyes stared fixedly at the surgical blade pressed against his neck. He did not dare move or speak. He was afraid to enrage Ning Tao―the latter might really behead him.

Ning Tao said coldly, “I hate people who lie to me. These herbs are mine in the first place, yet you are giving them to me as treatment fees. I can forgive what happened last night, but that doesn’t mean I will forgive you a second time. I am giving a final warning: give me the medicinal herbs I need.”
