When Boxer Li heard this message, he was very happy. He thought that if he paid an unwelcome visit to Yu Yuanyuan, they would submit. He didn’t think that by just smashing down the security door, the Yu Ren father and daughter would be pissing themselves scared!

“What are you waiting for? Let’s get to it?” Boxer Lee watched the beautiful and delicate Yu Yuanyuan, his heart skipped a beat. He wanted to carry her to the bed immediately.

“Wait a minute, I’m not ready, I need a few days to prepare myself!” Yu Yuanyuan had decided that she would go with Boxer Li, but she hadn’t adjusted to her situation yet.

“You still need time to adjust?” Boxer Lee frowned. He wasn’t as patient with his urges, “You already agreed, so come with me! Or are you scheming something?”

“What tricks can I do?” Yu Yuanyuan spoke up, “The situation is under your control, there is nothing I can do. I just need time to recollect my composure. Just give me my time and I will willingly leave with you. I think that it would work better for you that way, unless you want to exert force?”

“Well, you make a good point!” Boxer Lee listened to Yu Yuanyuan’s reasonable words and sighed in relief. He doesn’t like to be forceful when he didn’t have to. As for Yu Yuanyuan’s request, it wasn’t unreasonable. Reluctantly, Boxer Lee agreed to it, “If you say it like that, then I’ll give you three days. Three days later, I will come pick you up as my bride!”

Yu Yuanyuan bitterly smiled and nodded, “Okay… three days, then I’ll see you in three days…”

“Good, what a straightforward response. Father-in-law Ren, nowthat we are a family. This house of yours isn’t livable. It is so run down, here is a hundred thousand yuan dowry money. You should find a hotel to live in and find someone to change the door!” Boxer Lee had prepared a hundred thousand yuan already.

Yu Ren wanted to refuse on the spot. He wasn’t the type to sell his daughter for money, he wouldn’t be able to forgive himself. However Yu Yuanyuan had brought back the money and stuffed it in her dad’s pocket, “Dad, just hold onto this…”

Yu Yuanyuan had given up hope, she only wanted to reap the best reward to leave behind for her family. She would feel better about it that way…

Boxer Xi and Xiao Luozi saw that the negotiations were successful, so they didn’t dwell in the area any longer. They turned around and left Yu Ren’s house, leaving Yu Ren and his daughter. They both sighed as they glanced at each other. Life was a struggle, and it was just too unfair.

Meanwhile in the West Star Mountain Village, Er Goudan had just finished his farming task, and immediately went to tell his father before rushing up the West Star Mountain!

West Star Mountain was surrounded by a rugged and mountainous terrain. Plenty of beasts go in and out of the area, and closer to the peak, more dangerous beasts appear. Even if the villagers went hunting, they do it at the foot of the mountain. They didn’t dare go deep into the mountain area.

In West Star Mountain Village, there are only three people who dared to venture deep into the mountain area. One of them was the village doctor, Old Lin. The second person was the young companion by Old Lin’s side, Lin Yi. The third and last person was Lin Yi’s friend, Zhou Jiaming, also known as Er Goudan.

Halfway behind West Star Mountain Village, there is a nameless spring. It is there that Er Goudan splashed a handful of water into his mouth! His plan was to drink until he is full, it was through trial and experiment that he found out that the quantity didn’t matter. The drink came with diminishing effects; the beneficial effects only persisted for a little while, then it disappeared over time.

Er Goudan had previously thought of a solution to his problem. He stored the spring water in a bottle. However, when the spring water moved away from the source, it lost its effect! Er Goudan felt helpless about his situation. There was nothing he could do to improve his situation, it was all due to his younger, naughtier self, that he stole and drank Old Lin’s drug.

That was how he had poisoned himself with Gu. From that point forward, he had to rely on the nameless spring water. If he didn’t drink spring water for natural energy after a while, then the Gu poison will start draining energy from his body. Eventually, the Gu poison will consume his body.

This was also the reason why Er Goudan couldn’t travel too far from the spring.

Once Er Goudan drank his portion of the spring water, he would quickly run back to Old Lin’s house.

After drinking the water, Er Goudan rushed to Old Lin’s house to have his condition examined. At this time, Old Lin was currently examining a female elder villager’s pulse. When he saw Er Goudan arrived, he signaled him to sit down while he waited for his turn.

Er Goudan was a frequent guest, he wasn’t a stranger. He sat on the side to wait for Old Lin.

Old Lin was the only doctor for all eight villages in the ten mile radius. There was no modern comfort like a hospital in the surrounding area. If a villager was sick, they had to travel to see Old Lin. They didn’t realize that Old Lin was a Miracle Doctor, they were just merely enjoying the luxuries of a Miracle Doctor’s treatment at a huge discount.

“You have a common cold, symptoms of the flu. Do you want eastern medicine or western medicine?” Old Lin calmly asked.

“How much is it for eastern medicine? How much for western medicine?” Villagers have very little money, so they had to pay attention to their spending. They will choose whatever cost the least.

“Eastern medicine would be twenty, western medicine is fifty cents,” Old Lin didn’t bother to explain the benefits or side effects of each medicine. He was here to hide from his enemies and he wasn’t a saint.

“Then I’ll take the western medicine,” The female elder quickly decided.

“Fast Relief Cold Medicine pack, fifty cents per pack,” Old Lin pulled out a package from the cupboard to hand over.

Once the transaction was over, the female elder left.

Old Lin turned his attention to Er Goudan, “Er Goudan, are you here for Xiao Yi?”

“Yes, Grandpa Lin, Boss gave me a task to pick up medicine for him…” Er Goudan nodded respectfully.

“Are you finished with your tasks at home? Oh… is it already time for spring plowing already,” Old Lin went to grab medicine for Er Goudan, “Did you drink from the spring water today?”

“Grandpa Lin, I drank my daily dose for today,” Er Goudan nodded. There was nothing to hide between the two of them.

“Alright good! You need to remember that this: within three months you have to return. Otherwise, even I can’t save you,” Old Lin handed over a bottle of liquid medicine to Er Goudan.

“No worries, Grandpa Lin, I will remember important things like this. I have to rush back now!” Er Goudan quickly nodded, he didn’t dare to joke around with his life.

“Oh right, here is two thousand yuan, use it for traveling expenses,” Old Lin took out money from his pocket.

“I can’t take that…” Er Goudan was surprised. He didn’t think that Old Lin would give him a huge lump of money. Two thousand yuan in this small village can support a family for a year or two!

“In the city, there are expenses. It is your first time leaving the village, you need to be prepared,” Old Lin didn’t bother to explain the specifics, “Take it, it was also part of Xiao Yi’s instructions.”
