Chapter 17: Treating Sui Fu

Page (1/3)

Shi Qingyu followed the direction of Qin Yue Ran’s finger, her pupils suddenly constricted. She gripped her sword tighter, her voice hoarse as she said, “I’ve heard of it.”

Shi Qingyu knelt down and explained, “It is a kind of corruption that erodes us…” Her hand trembled as she reached out to touch Sui Fu’s wound but then withdrew. “Once it adheres, the wound will continuously fester and it will corrode our consciousness… eventually,” Shi Qingyu closed her eyes, “the person becomes one of the monsters in the Black Mist Domain.”

The noisy scene had long since quieted down. The disciples of the Tianji Sect all had some understanding of the Black Mist Domain…

No, more accurately, everyone in the Lancang Realm now had some knowledge of the Black Mist Domain.

Being tainted by this corruption was the worst outcome because there was no cure.

“Senior Sister Qingyu…” Cheng Shuangshuang knelt beside Shi Qingyu, gently patting her shoulder. The two exchanged a glance, their eyes full of hope directed at the powerful elder before them.

Qin Yue Ran was pondering whether she could cleanse this pollution when she looked up and saw those expectant eyes fixed on her.

Besides Shi Qingyu and Cheng Shuangshuang, other disciples were also watching her in the same way.

Qin Yue Ran: “…”

Don’t look at me like that, I’m really just a rookie who’s barely started cultivation.

Summoning her courage, Qin Yue Ran asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Boss Qin, do you have a way? We can pay with points.” Shi Qingyu spoke up.

Since the senior was running the inn as the owner, perhaps using points for transactions might work.

“I…” With so many hopeful eyes on her, Qin Yue Ran could hardly refuse… revealing her hidden points, “Let’s give it a try.”

Shi Qingyu and the other disciples expressed their gratitude: “Thank you, Boss Qin.”

Qin Yue Ran felt a chill on her scalp and warned in advance, “It might not work.”

“That’s alright. If it can be cured, we will be very grateful. If not, we won’t blame you.” Shi Qingyu said, “It’s a difficult matter to begin with.”

Qin Yue Ran wanted to try the supreme healing method: “I need to take the person somewhere else, is that okay?”

“That’s fine. But if the corruption spreads to the face…” Shi Qingyu hesitated, her eyes filled with sorrow, “Please help our master put them out of their misery; otherwise, I’m afraid it might harm you.”

Qin Yue Ran: “…Don’t be so pessimistic.”

Putting them out of their misery basically means helping to end their suffering!

On the island, she was invincible. With proper preparation beforehand, if it really can’t be saved, she’ll bring them back and let them handle it themselves.

Sighing inwardly, Qin Yue Ran touched Sui Fu and said, “Do as you wish.”

With that, she activated the teleportation function and arrived at a flat area.

Recalling her cultivation methods, Qin Yue Ran began to try healing Sui Fu.

She infused spiritual power into the wound, and the green energy radiated the essence of life. The Black Mist recoiled as if it had encountered a dreadful entity.

Watching the Black Mist gradually dissipate, Qin Yue Ran’s face lit up with joy: It works! This is going to be lucrative!!!

Tempted by the points ahead, Qin Yue Ran energetically cleared the Black Mist from Sui Fu’s body.

Examining the wound, once she confirmed the Black Mist was completely removed, she finally noticed Sui Fu herself and exclaimed with delight, “Oh my, not only pleasing to the eye but also a walking jackpot of points!”

With a sense of admiration, she handed Sui Fu a freshly processed pill.

Without the presence of the Black Mist and aided by the pill, Sui Fu’s complexion gradually improved.

Qin Yue Ran’s eyes curved in a smile: This should be added to the treatment fee.

She opened the interface to check and saw more people had registered as members and exchanged many points.

The inn’s prices had long been raised by her. She didn’t know how the rooms were allocated, but all were fully booked now.

Total income was fourteen thousand, and the restaurant had already received orders.

Qin Yue Ran raised an eyebrow: While she was away, no one served the food—wouldn’t there be complaints about service?

Oh well, no matter.

After all, she was the biggest boss here; complaints would be futile.

Those dining in the restaurant felt an itch in their noses, as if someone was silently whispering behind them.

Zong Anze was one of them but soon dismissed the feeling.

Who knows! After spending so many days in the Black Mist Domain and still getting a good meal, even if it’s a trap, he’d accept it!

In a cheerful mood, Qin Yue Ran hummed a tune and tapped Sui Fu’s sleeve to teleport.

After returning, she sent a message to Shi Qingyu to come to the hall.

Meanwhile, Qin Yue Ran also purchased a high-end humanoid employee for the restaurant.

Qin Yue Ran clapped her hands: “No need for me to serve dishes in person anymore~”

As soon as Shi Qingyu received the message, she hurried to the hall.

“Boss Qin!” Shi Qingyu called out, her gaze repeatedly drifting to Sui Fu.

Qin Yue Ran smiled brightly: “I didn’t let you down.”

Shi Qingyu: “!!!”

Kneeling on one knee, Shi Qingyu said, “Thank you so much, Boss Qin.”

Qin Yue Ran: “!!!”

No! This isn’t acceptable!!!

Qin Yue Ran used her invincible authority on the island to help Shi Qingyu to her feet.

“There’s no need for such grand gestures,” Qin Yue Ran said wearily, “Points will do.”

With that, she waved her hand, “Take her back to rest first.”

“Yes…” Shi Qingyu cupped her hands, “Once Qingyu settles our master, we will discuss the required points with Boss Qin.”

Qin Yue Ran: “Mm.”

Watching Shi Qingyu take Sui Fu upstairs, Qin Yue Ran turned and walked back to the front desk.

Hu Hu, who had been off somewhere playing, suddenly flopped onto the table right in front of her, looking exhausted.

“Hu Hu, what’s wrong?” Qin Yue Ran stroked it gently.

Hu Hu looked at Qin Yue Ran with a pitiful expression: “Serve the dishes, Xiao Ran. They order so much and eat so much, wuwuwu…”

Qin Yue Ran suddenly realized and praised Hu Hu: “No wonder no one complained about the lack of service when I wasn’t around. Turns out Hu Hu was helping! Amazing, Hu Hu, you’re my all-around little helper!”

Qin Yue Ran picked up Hu Hu: “Come here, give me a couple of kisses. Muamua!”

Hu Hu hummed proudly: “Of course!” Then weakly added, “Luckily you bought an employee, or you’d still be busy.”

“Hehe.” Qin Yue Ran grinned, rubbing Hu Hu’s little paw.

Soft and fluffy, chocolate-colored little paw pads—who could tell if this was a kitten or a little tiger?

Sensing someone nearby, Qin Yue Ran immediately retracted her teeth and assumed a neutral expression.

After finishing their meal, Zong Anze and his three companions packed some food into their storage rings and were about to return to their rooms when they saw the tiger they had just seen busy earlier, now lying in the arms of a strangely dressed young woman.

He instantly guessed this young woman must be the Boss Qin that the ancient friend had mentioned.

Recalling that the ancient friend said one could buy pills usable within the Black Mist Domain from Boss Qin, he stepped forward and bowed, asking, “Boss Qin, do you happen to have pills for sale?”

A gleam flashed in Qin Yue Ran’s eyes: The scent of a big spender!

“Of course,” Qin Yue Ran replied with a standard smile, “But they’re a bit expensive, and I’m planning to improve them. If it’s not urgent, come back before you leave the island tomorrow.”

Hearing that the pills were indeed available, Zong Anze and his companions rejoiced: “No rush, we’ll come back tomorrow. Then we won’t trouble you any further, Boss Qin.”

After greeting Qin Yue Ran, the four returned to their rooms.

Their wounds had already healed thanks to the food from the restaurant, so they weren’t in a hurry for the pills.

After they left, Hu Hu tilted its head and looked at Qin Yue Ran with curiosity, asking, “Xiao Ran, how are you going to improve the pills?”
