Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 101 Date

Chapter 101 Date (Water)

"This, this...I, I..."

The boss has become a little incoherent.

He never imagined that the high cost of treatment would only cost the price of a meal.

In fact, it is no wonder that the treatment costs of other healing soul masters are high.

Even someone as strong as Yali lost her life due to excessive treatment when she was a Soul Saint, which led to the exhaustion of her own life.

If it weren't for the power of faith, Qiangu Qitian would probably not have been able to become a disciple.

The vast majority of healing soul masters also consume life energy.

Use your own life to save others?
Then you have to come up with enough chips.

Yali helps others free of charge out of his saintly heart.

As for Qiangu Qitian...it's just a piece of cake.

"Master Soul Master, since you think the beef I cooked is delicious, I will give you some more."

He knew that this was the only way for him to repay Qiangu Qitian for his help.

Qiangu Qitian did not refuse, but watched the boss busy in front of the shabby stove. The dim light illuminated the small shop. There were only two women and one man sitting at the small table in the shop, and the light also reflected on their faces. The steaming pot on the stove steamed a lot of mist, making a buzzing sound, and the fragrance was overflowing.

After a long while, Ouyang Zixin asked in a low voice: "You knew his wife was sick a long time ago, right? How did you know?"

Looking at Ouyang Zixin's pair of light blue eyes that were flashing with intelligence, Qiangu Qitian smiled awkwardly: "Is it so obvious?"

"Ah? Xiaotian, you knew that the boss's wife was sick a long time ago?"

Mu Xi's little brain obviously wasn't as quick as Ouyang Zixin's.

"It's not hard to guess. The boss reopened his shop not long after it was smashed. Something must have happened at home and he needs money. He is probably the only laborer in the family. Also, the boss smells a little bit of medicine, which contains the cold spirit factor extracted from the cold star grass. This medicine is mostly used to treat a rare disease in middle-aged women. The most important point is that this kind of shop is usually family-run. Didn't you notice that the boss put two chairs next to the stove? One of them is for his wife."

Although Qiangu Qitian knew that the boss's wife was bedridden based on his impression from the original novel, his explanation was not groundless.

After listening to Qiangu Qitian's words, Mu Xi looked at the decoration inside the store. Some small details also confirmed what Qiangu Qitian said.

There were also some subtle changes in Ouyang Zixuan's gaze towards Qiangu Qitian.

This young master from a top family seems to be a little different.

He does not have the arrogance and domineering nature of most children from large families. Instead, he is humble, polite, gentle and kind.

Ouyang Zixin discovered that Qiangu Qitian’s kindness was not limited to soul masters, but also to ordinary people.

Many people can do what Qiangu Qitian did, but their humility, courtesy, gentleness and kindness are class-specific.

After a while, the boss brought out several new servings of braised beef.

The few people did not let the boss down and finished all the food.

"Master Soul Master, my home is not far from here. I will take you there right away. Sorry to waste your time going back and forth."

"It doesn't matter."

Although Qiangu Qitian felt that his boss's way of addressing him was awkward, he did not choose to deliberately correct it.

Sometimes, the soul master's respect for the superior is not out of fear of the inferior for the superior, but out of inner respect.

Qiangu Qitian did not choose to take Mu Xi and Ouyang Zixin with him. He just wanted to get treatment, which would probably take less than a few minutes.

On the way, the boss told Qiangu Qitian some things about him and his wife.

Qiangu Qitian probably understood the life of this middle-aged man.

The boss is not a soul master. After studying in an ordinary school for a few years, he returned home and inherited his own shop.

He and his wife also met in the store. Later, his wife, who was a customer, became the proprietress and they ran this warm little store together.

Life is simple and happy.

But the good life was broken eight years ago.

The boss's wife contracted a rare disease and became extremely weak, confined to bed.

The medicines used for treatment are expensive. If the shop’s business wasn’t good, I probably wouldn’t even be able to afford the medicine.

Even though life encountered changes, this boss was not defeated and still faced everything with a smile.

No matter how difficult life was, he still did not cut corners when making beef, and the taste was the same as usual. Qiangu Qitian was led by his boss to a six-story building. After entering the house, Qiangu Qitian glanced around the house.

The room was small and the furniture was old, but it was very clean.

He met the boss's wife.

He has an ordinary appearance and looks a little haggard due to his illness.

"Mr. Li, who is this?"

Seeing a stranger coming, the woman subconsciously looked at her husband.

The boss came to his wife and held her bony hand: "Xiaohui, the soul master will help you heal..."

……

"let's go."

After returning from the boss's house, Qiangu Qitian said to Mu Xi and Ouyang Zixin.

This time, he gained a lot.

Qiangu Qitian saw a couple supporting each other.

As a scumbag, he knows very well that this kind of lifelong partner will most likely not appear in his life.

Because he has more people to protect.

This also means that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

Ouyang Zixin looked down at the time, and then said to Qiangu Qitian: "It's still early now, you and Mu Xi can go to the beach. The beach in summer is really special."

Mu Xi subconsciously asked: "Zixin, aren't you coming with me?"

When he said this, Mu Xi felt a little regretful.

Ouyang Zixin smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have delayed your date today. If I were still here, it would be a bit inappropriate."

After that, Ouyang Zixin whispered in Mu Xi's ear: "Xiao Xi, you must seize the opportunity tonight."

Mu Xi's little face immediately turned red.

To be honest, Mu Xi didn't dare to stay alone with Qiangu Qitian for a long time.

This was also the reason why I agreed to have Ouyang Zixin accompany me today.

Qiangu Qitian on the side also had an unnatural expression on his face.

Sometimes, having good hearing is not a good thing.

"Goodbye!"

Ouyang Zixuan waved goodbye to Qiangu Qitian and Mu Xi.

"Do you want Uncle Ming to give you a ride?"
