Open A Clinic To Cultivate Myself Chapter 229 Who Could Understand My Agony?

Actually, regardless of the Feminine-moon people civilization, Tang Zixian's ident.i.ty or any major conspiracy, none of them were more important than the issue of the clinic's treatment fee. There was no upgrade that month and the clinic's rent remained at 2000 points of good-evil treatment fee. Still, the ledger made of bamboo slips indicated that he was only left with 1321 points, so he still needed more than 600. Then, instead of going to the forest to watch over Tang Zixian, Tu Wenjin and the archaeology team at the cost of enduring mosquito bites and boredom, he would rather return home and earn some good-evil treatment fees. He believed that apart from the Feminine-moon's city and the cloudy ore, he was also Tang Zixian's target. Thus, she would sooner or later reach out to him. Then why should he be in a rush?

The Sky Clinic's convenient door opened through the stone wall. Ning Tao and the G.o.d's Will electric bicycle appeared inside Qing Zhui's cave residence.

Just a second after he had regained his sight, Ning Tao was stunned. It felt as if someone had squeezed his heart. Blood rushed up to his head, almost erupting from his nose and mouth.

There at the “Little Mistress”, the two snake demons were fast asleep. Qing Zhui was sleeping on her side, facing outwards on the bed, while Bai Jing was hugging onto her waist. Both of them were wearing only bras and panties; the fabric on their bodies was devastingly scarce. Bai Jing's were white, clinging intimately to her body, somewhat translucent. Her body of perfect proportions was pressed comfortably against the pristine white bedsheets. It was not exaggerated at all to describe the curvature of her b.u.m and waist as a deadly temptation. Qing Zhui's were green, which were completely opaque, but appeared to be slightly loose, such that it seemed to invite onlookers to inspect deeper and unravel her secrets. Similarly a body of ideal proportions, her dainty little abdomen and her pair of slender legs of unrivaled beauty were openly exposed. It was an even deadlier temptation.

Such an early morning. Could they not be doing anything productive, like memorizing some English phrases or an ancient poem? How could they be lying in bed squandering the beautiful day away?

The next instant after Ning Tao had entered the cave, both Bai Jing and Qing Zhui opened their eyes.

The next second, Qing Zhui immediately rolled over and jumped off the bed. “Brother Ning!”

Qing Zhui called out endearingly. Before she had even completed her sentence, the destined concubine jumped right into Ning Tao's embrace, without a care that he was still sitting on his G.o.d's Will electric bicycle. How much had she missed him over the past few days? Her reaction at the moment was her answer.

With a delicate and dainty beauty in his embrace, who he was in maximum physical contact with, Ning Tao could feel his entire body tense up. A certain part of him felt almost like it was suffering from acute inflammation; he was in agony.

Ning Tao coughed. “Cough… cough… Alright, alright. Speak properly, Sister Bai is still here. This isn't appropriate.”

Bai Jing slowly rose from her bed. “Don't need to regard me as an outsider. It's nothing. I'm cool even if you do that thing in front of me. I'm not a shy little girl.”

Ning Tao: “…”

He was speechless.

Fortunately, Qing Zhui had finally let go of him. She was beaming with happiness and bliss. “Brother Ning, where have you been for the past few days? I've called you a few times, but the calls could not get through.”

Ning Tao got off the bike, and pushed it outside. “You two wear some clothes first. I'll wait for you outside; then I will tell you about a very important thing.”

Bai Jing lightly jumped off the bed. A white shadow flashed and stood before the G.o.d's Will electric bicycle. “What can't be said at home, and needs to be told outside? I'm not even embarra.s.sed, so why are you?”

What kind of relative was that?

Ning Tao tried to move the bike out of her way, but Bai Jing had widened her arms. “Mercy me”. With the scanty material clinging on her body, it was apparent how provocative such a motion was.

Qing Zhui took her green dress, wearing it while saying, “Sister, just wear it. Brother Ning is shy. It's not nice of you to be like this.”

Bai Jing glared at Qing Zhui. “I'm helping you, you fool.”

While Qing Zhui and Bai Jing were getting dressed, Ning Tao briefly explained to them what had happened. He also took out the Blade of the Solar Eclipse which he had cultivated, showing it to Qing Zhui and Bai Jing.

Qing Zhui brandished the Blade of the Solar Eclipse excitedly. Nothing appeared in the air. It was just as if she were waving around a normal black scalpel with red patterns.

“Brother Ning, you said you had spent a whole night cultivating it, but it doesn't seem to do anything special. It's far worse than your electric bicycle,” Qing Zhui said. She then pa.s.sed the Blade of the Solar Eclipse to Bai Jing.

Bai Jing activated her demon power as she waved it, and it still produced the same outcome. Disinterested, she returned the blade to Ning Tao. “It's not a magic tool. To me, it looks like you've wasted a premium spiritual material.”

Judging from her tone, it seemed like she did not know what kind of spiritual material the cloudy ore was.

Ning Tao did not explain. He could not use the magic tools of normal pract.i.tioners and demons. Meanwhile, the tools he had cultivated, could not be used by normal pract.i.tioners and demons. It was all logical. He kept the Blade of the Solar Eclipse. “I'll take you to see the city of the Feminine-moon people a few days later. You'll definitely be surprised. It's miraculous.”

“Brother Ning, I want to go and see the Feminine-moon people's city now! Take me there,” Qing Zhui appeared to be really excited.

“I want to go too. Don't you dare leave me behind. If not, I'll make my sister divorce you,” Bai Jing said.

Ning Tao smiled wryly. “Sister Bai, could you speak properly?”

Bai Jing looked incredibly confident. “Alright, alright, I'll disturb you no more. Anyway, you'll have to take me there.”

Ning Tao said, “No rush. Let's wait for a few more days to make some preparations. I want to get a better idea of the place during the next visit. I'm here this time to earn some treatment fees, since the rent collection day is approaching, I have to prepare in advance. I've gotten Su Ya to help me search for patients possessing the merit of good intention. It has been some time since, so she must have already found some candidates. I'll be going to take a look.”

“Then I'll go search for some bad people for you. As usual,” Qing Zhui said; she would do whatever Ning Tao ordered.

Upon hearing that, Ning Tao sighed internally. He felt apologetic. The so-called usual way was for her to locate the evil people, killing and injuring them, then leaving them to be treated by Ning Tao to earn some sin of evil intent. Even though he would be able to earn some treatment fees, Qing Zhui's sins continued to acc.u.mulate; she could even become the tyrant whom the Sky Clinic intended to eliminate. However, with the Sky Clinic's increasing rent, if he did not employ such dishonest means, and only relied only on honest practices, the next rent collection day could be his death anniversary.

There was no other way out of the problem, at least, given the current situation.

Bai Jing said, “I'll take note as well. You and I will go by our usual rule as well.”

“How is that appropriate?” Ning Tao said.

Bai Jing said, “Why not? Qing Zhui is my sister, you're my brother-in-law. We're family. You don't treat family like outsiders. “Besides, if it were not for you eliminating the Viper-like Insect in me, I would still be Bai Sheng's instrument right now. Just take it that I'm paying in grat.i.tude.”

Since she had put it that way, Ning Tao had nothing more to object to.

“Oh right, that Hu Jilu gave us the green-light, and he'll be issuing us the license today. I'll be making a trip to the city hall. After meeting for a few days, he had mentioned every time that he would like to see you. It looked like he wasn't in good shape, he must be sick. Do you want to come with me to visit him?” Bai Jing said.

Ning Tao said, “Sure. He has helped us, so I should do something for him too. I'm not good at any other thing, but treating illnesses is not a problem.”

“Then great. Let's head to the city hall together. I'll get the license, you'll treat him,” Bai Jing said.

Ning Tao said, “Where's Senior Yin?”

Qing Zhui replied, “Oh, he went back to his nest. How about I give him a call to ask him to come here?”

Ning Tao said, “I think I'll call him myself. I have to ask him to help me deal with something.”

Only after three dials, Ning Tao had finally gotten through to Yin Molan.

“Sorry about it, my phone wasn't with me,” Yin Molan's voice came through the phone.

Ning Tao went straight to the point, “Senior Yin, I need a favor.”

Yin Molan spoke, “Why so polite with me? We're so close, don't be an outsider. I've consumed the Ancestor-seeking Elixir you gave me, and now my demon power has strengthened; you've even reformed me twice. I had never even been this cordial with you. Just let me know whatever you need.”

Ning Tao said with a smile, “Alright, then I won't be cordial. I met a woman in Shennongjia. Her name is Tang Zixian. I'm not sure what her background is. You're well-connected. Help me look into her.”

“Tang Zixian… her surname is Tang. Could it be someone from the Tang family?” Yin Molan said with a speculative tone.

Ning Tao said, “I've suspected that as well, but I have no evidence. She could be one of Bai Sheng's. She is a.s.sociated with someone named Tu Wenjin. That person is not simple, either. He's the founder of a listed internet company. You can find his information on Baidu. You could start by looking into him.”

“Got it, wait for my news.” Yin Molan hung up immediately after.

Ning Tao had initially intended to talk to him about the Feminine-moon civilization and its city, but that guy had hung up too abruptly. Ning Tao did not call him again. It would make no difference to tell him the next time they met. If he had told Yin Molan just then, it might even affect the old Ming Dynasty agent's working morale.

The three of them emerged from the cave. Ning Tao rode on the G.o.d's Will electric bicycle, Qing Zhui sat in the middle, and Bai Jing at the back. It was clearly very crowded with all three of them. Luckily for Ning Tao, he had already gotten used to such an arrangement. He turned on the engine and then rode down the hill.

Given that there was no designated road in the woods, the ride was b.u.mpy. With every b.u.mp, Ning Tao felt like he was. .h.i.t and squeezed hard from behind. After the course downhill, the G.o.d's Will electric bicycle had suddenly gained an extra brake.

Approaching the end of Garden Street, Ning Tao saw the run-down building which used to be the Sky Clinic. The doors were shut. Its facade was not significantly different from the Sky Clinic in the past. He was about to stop the bike and go take a look, but Bai Jing said, “No need. There's not a thing inside. Sister and I have gone inside to look.”

It was within his expectations. Ning Tao did not say anything and started the engine. With his speed increased, he drove towards the gateway of Garden Street, then headed towards the city hall.

Returning to Shan City meant that he was returning home, yet he did not feel any sense of belonging. Even though he did not want to admit, the truth was so. He had grown to subconsciously consider the Sky Clinic as his home. If the Sky Clinic was in Shan City, then his home would be in Shan City. If it were in Guan City, then his home would be in Guan City.

The G.o.d's Will electric bicycle zoomed past, like a motorcycle worth a thousand bucks. Qing Zhui and Bai Jing's dresses were drifting in the air, attracting countless lingering gazes.

Yet, who truly understood the agony of Doctor Ning?
