Chapter 429: Doctor Treats a Patient Like the Parents (2/2)
The corners of God Bai Xi's eyes twitched as he stared at him ruthlessly. Yet when he saw his expression wasn't faked, he said dejectedly, ”If I saw it off, I will only be left with one leg. I will lose a lot of my bargaining power.”
”My medical expertise is astounding and I can attach another person's leg to you. I have three legs here, and you can choose the one that you like. After cutting off your leg, you'll have to nurse yourself for two days before I will be able to replace it for you,” Qin Mu said seriously.
God Bai Xi's face flickered between dark and clear as he hesitated in making up his mind. ”Do you know why I'm called Bai Xi?” he suddenly asked.
Qin Mu shook his head.
”When a white steed flits past a crack, it lasts but an instant,” God Bai Xi said with an indifferent tone. ”This is talking about my speed. It is the number one in the world, and you can't even see my silhouette before I'm already a thousand miles away. With my leg injured, how will I be able to exhibit my speed?”
Qin Mu nodded. When he had met the three gods of High Heavens, he had caught one off guard and got rid of him while God Bai Xi was the most difficult to deal with. His speed was extremely fast, and he moved to and fro like lightning. Even when Qin Mu had opened Nine Heavens Eyes Awakening Skill to the ninth layer, he still could only catch his silhouette. This was why their fight covered several thousand miles before the other's leg got injured, crippling him.
”You can also run very fast with one leg,” Qin Mu consoled him. ”Grandpa Cripple of my village also had one leg, but his speed was still unmatched in this world. Look at your spoiled leg, should I saw it off for you?”
God Bai Xi's body trembled and he asked in a hoarse voice, ”Aren't you a divine physician? Don't you have any methods to treat it?”
Qin Mu expression dimmed. ”If it was two days ago… If I saw it off now, you will still have one leg left, but if you continue to delay, I'll be forced to cut off everything from the waist down. But don't you worry, Grandpa Butcher of my village was also like that when I grew up, yet he also lived pretty well. He could run very fast with his arms, and it was pretty convenient not having to pee.”
The muscles on God Bai Xi's face twitched randomly before he gritted his teeth. ”In that case, cut it off!”
Qin Mu took out Carefree Sword and passed it to him while saying apologetically. ”You are a god, so I don't have the ability to cut off your leg. It's best you do it yourself.”
God Bai Xi gripped the hilt of the sword and wanted to make his move, but tears began to flow down from his eyes.
Qin Mu couldn't bear to see it and was about to say something when God Bai Xi gave a loud shout and slashed down, severing his leg just below the chip!
Qin Mu was stunned. He immediately went forward to help him stop bleeding. He put away Carefree Sword and took out three legs before saying with utter sincerity, ”You can choose one leg. I'm sincere in wanting to save this world from disaster, so I will definitely do all I can to attach your leg back, for you to continue to be able to flit past a crack in but an instant. Don't worry, these three legs are all from Xing An's collection, so they are legs of the highest quality and won't be any inferior to your original leg. You know who Xing An is, right? A madman who loves collecting; he won't collect any body parts that are not on the god level.”
God Bai Xi endured the pain as beads of sweat continued to roll down his forehead. His gaze fell on the three legs and he said in a hoarse voice, ”How do I know if you had done anything to them? A person who is skilled in healing is also skilled in poison. If you've tampered with them, won't I be tricked?”
Qin Mu looked at him with a sincere gaze.
When God Bai Xi saw it and expression, he felt slightly ashamed in his heart, but he still didn't dare to believe. His gaze flickered before he pointed at a slightly shorter leg. ”I choose that one.”
Qin Mu smiled and handed him that leg while putting away the other two. ”Don't worry, you can keep this leg. When your complexion is better two days later, I'll come and help attack it. If I leave this leg with you, you won't worry about me doing anything to it, right?”
God Bai Xi nodded and sighed. ”I shouldn't have doubted you. I now trust that you are a doctor who treats his patient like the parents treat their children. But I don't need you to prescribe me any medicine to recuperate; I'll do it myself!”
Qin Mu sneered at him. ”You still don't trust me. Oh well, if you need any spirit herbs, just instruct the divine arts practitioners outside the courtyard to fetch them. I won't interfere.” When he was finished, he turned around to leave.
God Baixi summoned a divine arts practitioners over and wrote down a prescription for the medicine he wanted.
Outside the courtyard, Si Yunxiang's gaze flickered, and she asked in a low voice, ”Cult Master, do you want to do something to his herbs?”
”No need. Are all the spirit herbs I need here?”
”There are still a few left.”
Qin Mu went over to check and after calculating for a moment said, ”These are about enough.” He took out the other two divine legs and prepared to refine poison for them.
”Cult Master, you…” Si Yunxiang cried out.
”Even if I let him keep that divine leg, he definitely won't use it. After a few days, he will definitely make me take out these two divine legs and choose one of them.”
Qin Mu refined his poison seriously, planning to hide it in the legs. His serious expression was actually pretty terrifying. ”I don't know which leg he will use, so I might I need to prepare both of them. The poison that's left, I plan to…”
He executed his vital qi and his hand techniques changed without end. ”Find a chance to return it to Xing An! What do you think of this idea?”
Si Yunxiang shuddered, her face ashen. ”Cult Master, I don't dare to covet after the position of cult master anymore!” she said in a trembling voice.
”What nonsense are you talking about?” Qin Mu turned his head back and smiled at her. His smile of a big boy was very radiant, like sunshine, and brimming with youth.
Si Yunxiang felt her blood run cold.
