Chapter 0165 – Is This Paradise – The Absolute Return

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

"I would like to ask you to help this friend of mine, win the ‘Subterranean Dragon Battle’ championship." Jian Wuji pointed at Xu Dalong and said.

"What?" Xu Dalong was dumbfounded, "You can win the championship just by asking for your help?"

"Maybe."

"Huh?"

The old woman walked up to Xu Dalong, she seemed to have trouble with her legs and walked with a limp.

She held out her left hand and said, "Hand."

Her right hand, too, seemed to be injured.

"My left hand is injured." Xu Dalong said.

"Do you want me, an old woman, to shake hands with you with my injured right hand?"

"No …… I mean, can we not shake hands?"

However, the old woman still stretched out her hand, with no intention of withdrawing it. Xu Dalong had no choice but to extend his right hand and hold her hand.

Just then, the old woman suddenly grabbed his arm and jerked it upward.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

Xu Dalong let out a miserable scream, but the old woman paid no attention to it and twisted his arm hard.

"The bones aren’t broken."

"Ahhhhhhhh! I’m gonna die! I’m gonna die!"

"Stop pretending!"

"It hurts!"

"One look at you and you’re just a poor guy who loves to play the poor guy."

Xu Dalong looked at Jian Wuji accusingly, his eyes as if asking, "Who is this old woman? Let her hurry up and heal herself!" But Jian Wuji just smiled and didn’t say anything.

"Dance your blade."

"I don’t want to move."

The old woman suddenly bullied her way up and grabbed Xu Dalong’s arm once again, casually fiddling with it like a doll. Her movements were too fast for Xu Da Long to react.

"Still don’t want to move? Still don’t want to move?"

"Ahhhhhhhh! I move! I move! Please, spare me!"

The old woman then let go of her hand.

Xu Dalong wiped his tears, drew out his long sword, and waved it a few times in a haphazard manner.

The old woman shook her head and said, "No, with your current state, it’s impossible to defeat Qin Xia Ling ."

She knows the situation of the "Dragon War" like the back of her hand, she knows the strength of Qin Xia Ling, and she also knows the strength of Xu Da Long.

"That’s why we’ve come to you. Don’t you make the impossible possible?"

"It depends on how much you can pay. How much can you offer?"

Jian Wuji didn’t haggle and directly handed the silver ticket, which was half a million taels, to the old woman.

"Five hundred thousand taels."

"What?" Xu Dalong jumped at once, "You …… you actually want to spend all the money, on me?"

"Exactly."

"No way! Absolutely not!"

Although he knew that Jian Wuji had taken the money in order to help him, he never expected that he would spend all of it on him.

"My money, I can spend it however I want, what do you care?"

"In short, no! I give up, I don’t want to participate in the competition, I was just talking nonsense, I’m fine as I am, half a million taels, too much!"

"And, this old woman, she just looks weird! She must be a charlatan! She herself is sick like this, how can she cure others? She should have …… first," Xu Dalong suddenly stopped and pointed at the old woman, saying in horror, "She …… she eats worms!"

The old woman was seen sitting on a rock, rubbing her injured arm and leg while she ate something with relish.

"Investigator Xu, money, you can make it anytime, but opportunities like this don’t come along all the time."

"I don’t want it! You should not waste your money on me! Fifty thousand taels is too much for me!"

"This is money well spent. It’s the price of a man that becomes a true martial artist."

"Becoming a martial artist requires not half a million taels of silver, but a strong will and fearless courage!"

"Don’t think so much, you just need to do your job as an investigator from now on, and occasionally help the Demon Cult to solve some troubles, that’s enough."

"You’re stressing me out even more with that comment!"

"Thinking too much will only make you tired of living. Follow your heart, you want to win, I want you to win, that’s enough."

Just then, the old woman suddenly appeared in front of them and snatched the silver ticket from Jian Wuji’s hand.

"I’m taking this patient."

"No!"

Xu Dalong wanted to snatch back the silver ticket, but he was scared to move by a look from the old woman.

"How many days left in the tournament for this poor guy who loves to play the poor guy?"

"Seven days."

"Seven days? Time is short, let’s start now."

The old woman limped into the room.

"Who the hell is she? Let her hurry up and heal herself!" Xu Dalong asked anxiously.

"Your arm, how does it feel?"

"What else could it be? Of course it hurts more. Huh?"

Xu Dalong tried to move his injured arm, and he realized that his arm, surprisingly, was much more flexible than when he first arrived. It seemed that the old woman hadn’t just been fiddling with his arm in a haphazard manner.

"Like …… it really doesn’t hurt anymore?"

"She’s the ‘bug doctor’."

"What?" Xu Dalong was stunned, he had also heard of this name.

"She really exists?"

In the jianghu, there has been a legend circulating: there is a god doctor who is proficient in the art of bugs, he can use all kinds of bugs, to treat all kinds of difficult diseases, and can even bring the dead back to life.

It was rumored that his medical skills even surpassed the physicians of the Demon Sect and the physicians of the Martial Alliance. Although this rumor, was never confirmed, one thing was certain, the Bug Doctor himself, was a martial artist with a high level of cultivation, and his understanding of the human body, definitely exceeded that of any other physician.

"But, I’ve heard that she’s very greedy for money and is known as the ‘money bug’."

"No one but her could have healed you in such a short time."

"How do you know her? Never mind, I still think it’s too expensive."

"Technically, the money, it’s all spent on you, so you don’t have to feel embarrassed."

"Huh? What do you mean by that?"

Just then, the door to the room opened, and the Bug Doctor’s voice, came out from inside.

"What are you guys waiting for? Time is money! Money!"

Jian Wuji and Xu Dalong hurriedly walked into the room.

In the room, there were bottles and jars filled with bugs everywhere, specimens of various bugs hung on the walls, and a pungent, medicinal odor filled the air, making people sick.

The bug doctor brought Xu Dalong a bowl of blackened medicinal soup and told him to drink it.

"This …… This can’t be poison, can it? It must be poison!"

Xu Dalong looked at the bowl of medicinal soup with a face of resistance.

"Then spend the most money and enjoy the most extravagant death, your death will surely go down in the annals of martial arts history."

The bug doctor washed off the gold sore medicine from Xu Dalong’s wound and reapplied a new kind of ointment. Needless to say, this ointment, must have been refined with various bugs.

Then, using a special bandaging method, she bandaged Xu Dalong’s wounds and carried him to a stone bed that emitted hot air.

"Sleep well."

Perhaps it was the drug’s effect kicking in, or perhaps the stone bed was too hot, Xu Dalong’s eyelids, were getting heavier and heavier, and he could no longer resist sleep.

"No …… no …… we’ve been lied to ……"

He drifted off to sleep.

While Xu Dalong was resting, Jian Wuji went to the backyard to visit the various bugs that the Bug Doctor kept. In the courtyard, there were hundreds of wooden boxes filled with all sorts of oddly shaped bugs.

"Don’t look at it as inconspicuous, but the venom on its body can poison a cow to death in half an hour. Although I am invulnerable to all poisons, you will be in trouble if you get bitten by it." The Bug Doctor walked to Jian Wuji’s side and pointed at one of the wooden boxes.

Saying that, she opened the wooden box and grabbed out a bug, the bug, with wings and a black body, was highly poisonous at a glance. She held the bug up in front of Jian Wuji and coldly asked, “Since you know me well, then you should know my rules, why are you offering such a high price?”
