246: How can I let a beautiful woman down when she makes an appointment with me?

And so, holding the bank card Tang Tang gave him, Chen Hao left with a look of utter despair, planning to go to the urology hospital to check on his body…

At the same time, inside a ward at Linjiang City’s Third Hospital.

Ye Bufan lay on the hospital bed, receiving an IV drip, his face pale, his breath faint, and his spirit listless, as if he could kick the bucket at any moment.

“Doctor, when can I be discharged?”

Ye Bufan looked at the several doctors in white coats surrounding his bed and asked, his voice weak and his demeanor extremely haggard.

Yesterday, after being kicked hundreds of meters away by a Shadow Guardian, Ye Bufan was critically injured and on the verge of death, almost going straight to the Western Paradise to meet the Buddha.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, his protagonist's halo activated, arranging for a passing old man to send him to the hospital, where doctors performed a series of emergency measures, pulling him back from the gates of hell.

“Your injuries are severe; five ribs in your chest are broken, and your lung has collapsed into a pneumothorax. You need a good period of rest. After the surgery, you’ll need to be hospitalized for at least two months.”

“Remember to inform your family to come and pay the surgical fees so our hospital can arrange the surgery for you.”

The chief doctor said, after checking Ye Bufan’s condition, before leaving the ward with several intern doctors to check on other patients.

“Two months?”

Ye Bufan muttered to himself, shaking his head inwardly.

He couldn’t wait a moment longer!

He still had a date with Tang Tang tonight; how could he stay in the hospital all this time?

And… did he even have any family?

An orphan since childhood, with his only master still abroad, Ye Bufan could truly be said to be alone in Dragon Country.

Ye Bufan’s gaze scanned the ward, and soon he found his clothes on a nearby table.

Trembling, he reached out, pulled a delicate small box from his pants pocket, and opened it. Inside was a clear, crystalline pill exuding an endless fragrance.

This was a life-saving pill his master had given him before returning to Dragon Country, saying it could save his life at a critical moment.

As long as he swallowed this pill, his internal injuries would be healed instantly, and his external injuries could be slowly recuperated.

Seeing this life-saving pill, Ye Bufan hesitated a little.

This was his master’s last resort for saving his life; should he really use it now?

One should know that this kind of pill, which could instantly heal internal injuries, was priceless and immeasurable, incredibly rare to obtain. His master had expended great effort to acquire even one such pill back then.

After all, alchemists in this era had long since disappeared, and legendary items like pills were only preserved by a few supreme aristocratic families in Dragon Country, let alone such a holy divine pill that could save a life at a critical moment.

If he used it now, wouldn’t it be too much of a waste?

Just as Ye Bufan was hesitating, Tang Tang’s face suddenly appeared in his mind, dressed in a pure white wedding gown, radiant and charming.

Let’s do it!

If a man dies, he faces the sky; if he doesn't, he lives forever!

A beautiful woman has an appointment; how can he let her down?

He was currently facing a life-threatening situation, so his master surely wouldn't blame him even if he knew...

Gritting his teeth hard, Ye Bufan’s lust got the better of him. He swallowed hard and, without another word, directly swallowed the pill.

With the influx of the massive medicinal effect, Ye Bufan felt his internal injuries being nourished little by little. Warm currents flowed through his limbs and bones, finally converging in the dantian area of his lower abdomen.

Ye Bufan dared not be careless. He pulled out the needle from the back of his hand, sat cross-legged, and immediately began to circulate his energy to regulate himself, guiding this warm current to nourish his injuries.

About a quarter of an hour later, once the medicinal effect had fully dissipated, Ye Bufan’s internal injuries were completely healed. His pale complexion was gone, replaced by a radiant glow, and his eyes were sharp. His entire spirit and vitality had improved by more than a dozen levels, showing no trace of decline.

Ye Bufan grinned, feeling the long-lost abundant true qi, and felt that life was so beautiful.

He got out of bed, picked up his clothes, and left the ward casually.

As a martial artist in the mid-stage of Internal Force, with vast and boundless true qi nourishing his body, his physical quality was terrifyingly strong.

A few broken ribs were nothing to Ye Bufan; merely a minor injury.

After paying the hospitalization fee and leaving, Ye Bufan took a taxi towards a nearby commercial street.

Since he was dating Tang Tang, he naturally had to get himself a decent outfit.

………………

At Qingteng Mountain Villa, Jiang Che leaned on the living room sofa, checking his various gains from yesterday.

He didn’t know what kind of madness Chen Hao was in, but he contributed another 50,000 emotion points to Jiang Che throughout yesterday evening.

Adding the 20,000 emotion points each he gained from Xi Xi, Yanran, and Yuxuan last night.

Now, Jiang Che’s emotion points had accumulated to 300,000 again.

After some thought, Jiang Che once again chose to exchange for a Great Return Pill, and then performed a ten-pull gacha.

The Great Return Pill could be given to his mother, which would help her improve her cultivation.

As for his father and grandfather, he could only wait until later.

When he last went home, Jiang Che had already helped his father and grandfather regulate their bodies and given them Small Revitalizing Pill. Now, they had all become proper martial artists, though their cultivation wasn't high.

Then again, for people like them, there was no need for extremely high martial arts cultivation; they had countless masters protecting them, both openly and secretly.

“System, give me a ten-pull!”

“Ding, deducting 100,000 emotion points. Starting lottery…”

“Congratulations to the host for obtaining Silk Pantyhose x 99999999…”

“Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Heaven-tier Mid-grade Treasure Sword: Fuyao Sword…”

“Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Heaven-tier Mid-grade Treasure Sword: Lanyue Sword…”

“Congratulations to the host for obtaining Divine-grade Calligraphy Skill…”

“Congratulations to the host for obtaining Divine-grade Bartending Skill…”

“Congratulations to the host for obtaining Scarlet Sun Flower x 10…”

“Congratulations to the host for obtaining Heaven Cold Grass x 30…”

Seeing the various rewards obtained from this draw, Jiang Che was thoughtful.

He subtly immersed his mind, first checking the two treasure swords, Fuyao and Lanyue.

Exquisitely crafted, magnificent and domineering, with a chilling gleam and razor-sharp edges, they were also a pair of matching swords.

“Interesting…”

Jiang Che muttered to himself. Upon seeing these two swords, his first thought was of his elder sister, Jiang Wantang.

Fuyao and Lanyue, weren’t these just right for him and his sister?

As for Divine-grade Calligraphy and Divine-grade Bartending, they were also infinitely useful.

As a villain who developed comprehensively in morality, intelligence, physical education, and arts, for Jiang Che, such skills were naturally the more, the better.

As for the Scarlet Sun Flower and Heaven Cold Grass…

Having thoroughly read the Myriad Herb Compendium,

Jiang Che was also familiar with these two spirit herbs. Like the hundred-year ice mountain snow lotus, they were extremely rare and precious spirit herbs that could be used in the refining of many pills.
