Fairy Tail: I Am the God

At this very moment, Duanmu Rong was doing her utmost to heal the sword saint Gai Nie's illness. She stood by, sometimes pounding herbs, sometimes adding firewood to the medicine pot.

Duanmu Rong didn't have time to say another word. She simply followed her nature as a doctor and her sense of responsibility, silently and wholeheartedly treating the patient. At this moment, her eyes were full of seriousness, and she could not afford to be negligent in the slightest.

Recalling what Gai Nie had said to her back then, Duanmu Rong couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt. That a petty hoodlum like Tianming was actually a descendant of Jing Ke was a fact that would shock anyone.

Before this, Duanmu Rong had always thought that Gai Nie was a lackey of the King of Qin and looked down on him. However, when she remembered that Gai Nie had been seriously injured and imprisoned on the day he saved Tianming and the others, Duanmu Rong gradually developed trust in him.

"Oh! I hope you get better soon. There are many things you said that I can't confirm. You must tell me the details of these things again," Duanmu Rong thought to herself as she looked at Gai Nie.

However, Gai Nie remained motionless, showing no signs of waking up. Seeing this, Duanmu Rong turned around and went to get her silver needles to test his condition.

"Well, you asked for this yourself, so don't blame me."

Duanmu Rong looked at Gai Nie lying on the bed with a sly smile, her face revealing a girl's mischievousness.

Duanmu Rong looked smug, holding a silver needle in her hand, ready to strike Gai Nie.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Although you can't wake up right now, my medical skills are superb. As long as I give you this injection, I guarantee you will wake up immediately."

With that in mind, Duanmu Rong inserted several needles into different acupoints all over Gai Nie's body. Although to outsiders it seemed like a little girl playing around, they didn't know that each of these needles had a different effect.

This is probably why Guo Dongzhi admires Duanmu Rong so much. It is truly remarkable that a young girl could possess such extraordinary skills at such a young age.

After the needles were inserted, Gai Nie's body reacted slightly, and after a while, Gai Nie's eyes finally opened slowly.

"Where is this?" Gai Nie was not fully awake and did not remember what had happened after he escaped from the prison. He was still in a state of confusion.

On a nearby stool, Duanmu Rong sat beside him, her hands supporting her chin, staring intently at Gai Nie, which made Gai Nie feel ashamed.

Why is Duanmu Rong looking at me like that? Did I do something strange? Gai Nie looked at Duanmu Rong, equally puzzled.

"Hey hey, you're finally awake~"

Seeing that Gai Nie had reacted, Duanmu Rong immediately perked up, stood up, looked at him, and said with excitement in her eyes. Of course, Gai Nie felt that there was another feeling in Duanmu Rong's eyes.

Immediately, as if suddenly remembering something, Gai Nie slowly opened his mouth and widened his eyes. Just as Duanmu Rong thought he was about to say something, Gai Nie suddenly lost his voice.

It seems that Gai Nie has figured something out, Duanmu Rong thought to herself. However, she was still very curious about what exactly happened when Jing Ke died.

Therefore, Duanmu Rong was determined to get some information out of Gai Nie, and she was thinking about how to get Gai Nie to obediently reveal the truth.

Chapter 1041 Coercion and inducement

"Gai Nie, do you know who brought you back from the brink of death?" Duanmu Rong looked at Gai Nie with a smug expression, clearly showing the pride of a savior.

Oh dear! What bad luck! If I had known things would turn out this way, why did I impulsively tell Duanmu Rong everything? Gai Nie felt a pang of regret.

Seeing Duanmu Rong's smug expression, as if she had already taken control of all her value, Gai Nie felt extremely uncomfortable. However, since Duanmu Rong had saved his life, Gai Nie didn't know what to do.

"This...did I say something to you? You must have misremembered." Gai Nie wanted to clear his mind of the impression he had left on Duanmu Rong that day, and said calmly.

"Oh dear! Gai Nie, do you have a bad memory? Have you forgotten what you said to me that day? I remember it perfectly clearly."

……

Seeing that Gai Nie wanted to clear himself of suspicion, Duanmu Rong pressed him even harder, bringing her head close to Gai Nie's ear and whispering, "If I remember correctly, you said that Tianming was a descendant of Jing Ke, right?"

Then, Duanmu Rong left Gai Nie's side and looked away. Her nonchalant demeanor infuriated Gai Nie.

"Hmph! It won't be that easy to find out how Jing Ke died."

Although Gai Nie was saved by Duanmu Rong, he was also threatened by her, but he still did not intend to give in and was determined to keep the matter to himself.

The death of Jing Ke has a huge impact. If he were to accidentally expose it, various factions and sects would definitely come looking for trouble in the future, which would be a real disaster.

"I absolutely will not say another word about this matter, so just give up on that idea!" Gai Nie's stubbornness kicked in, and he refused to budge.

Seeing Gai Nie's expression, Duanmu Rong was furious. She had gone to great lengths to save him, but Gai Nie was ungrateful. She gritted her teeth in anger, but could say nothing more.

"Hmph! You're so ungrateful! If anything happens to you in the future, I won't take care of you anymore," Duanmu Rong said angrily.

"Anyway, you could kill me and I still won't tell you, unless you show me the leader of the Mohist school." Gai Nie's single-mindedness was giving Duanmu Rong a real headache.

She knew that no matter how she tried to persuade or entice Gai Nie, he wouldn't fall for it easily. She was completely helpless and had no choice but to storm out of the room in anger.

On the other side, Tianming heard Duanmu Rong complaining as she walked out of the room. Knowing that Gai Nie had woken up, he was very excited and immediately got out of bed, no longer resting, wanting to check on Gai Nie's condition.

"Leon? Leon?" Tianming's voice came from one room to another. Leon had already heard the excitement in Tianming's voice and looked helpless.

"Leon, quick, Uncle's awake! Let's go see him! It's been so long, but he's finally awake!" Tianming couldn't hide his excitement and hurriedly pulled Leon toward Gai Nie's room.

Leon was speechless and grabbed Tianming's sleeve to stop him. Tianming looked at Leon, puzzled.

"Tianming, Gai Nie just woke up, he must still be very weak, you should let him rest for a while."

Chapter 1042 Seducing Gao Yue, Her Heart Flutters

Tianming thought about it and felt that many of the points made sense. Yes, the uncle had just recovered and must be very tired. He needed to rest properly, so he gave up on the idea.

"Hey! Leon, you're so smart. How come I didn't think of that? Uncle has been recuperating for so long, and I was actually going to disturb his rest." Tianming scratched his head and said with an embarrassed expression.

As Leon listened to Tianming's words, he felt a sense of helplessness. He knew that Tianming was indeed a bit impulsive, still young and impetuous, and had not yet reined in his wild nature.

Tianming was still talking non-stop, but Leon wasn't really listening. So Tianming happily recounted the events of the past few days to himself.

Of course, most of the time, he talked about his admiration for Gai Nie, exaggerating Gai Nie's superb martial arts skills without any reservation, and Tianming also hoped that he could become such a person.

Leon finally couldn't listen to Tianming's monologue any longer. He was afraid that if he listened to another word, his ears would get calluses. So he made an excuse to escape from Tianming's mouth.

Seeing that Leon had left on business, Tianming had no choice but to wander around the Mo Family Ghost Village alone, causing chaos wherever he went.

You see, Tianming wasn't like the others who could stay quietly in one place, so he boasted every day about being Gai Nie's apprentice, and the whole village knew about it.

One day, Tianming went elsewhere again and shamelessly boasted about his identity. He seemed to enjoy it immensely. I reckon that when Gai Nie recovers and hears this, he'll definitely be furious.

"Hey! Isn't that Yue'er?" In a daze, Tianming saw Gao Yue's figure, and his mood became even more excited. He didn't expect to run into Gao Yue at this time.

"Yue'er!" Tianming called out happily to Gao Yue. Gao Yue, who was busy on her way, stopped when she heard someone call her name and turned around to look for her.

"Here, Yue'er, I'm here!" Tianming rushed to Gao Yue's side. Gao Yue found Tianming's clumsiness amusing and couldn't help but laugh.

Tianming was a little confused when he saw Gao Yue smile, but seeing that Gao Yue was happy, he didn't think much of it and just happily talked to Gao Yue.

"Moon, what are you doing in this village at this hour?" Tianming asked Gao Yue with a grin, regardless of whether Gao Yue knew him well or not.

"It's nothing much for me. I'm just helping out with some things at home. After all, the world is in such a mess these days, I have to do my part for the family," Gao Yue said to Tianming with a smile.

Listening to Gao Yue's gentle and clear voice, her eyes were full of light and brilliance. Tianming looked at Gao Yue and felt very comfortable. He felt that Gao Yue's eyes were as bright as the bright moon.

Ignoring the stares of those around them, Tianming brazenly moved closer to Gao Yue, chatting and laughing with her as they walked side by side.

And so, the days passed by aimlessly.

Around noon, Tianming felt bored being alone in Mo Family Village, so he wandered around aimlessly. Fortunately, he had a great interest in everything around him and always managed to discover something wonderful, so these past few days hadn't been too boring.

Chapter 1043 The Heavenly Overlord Body That Shocked the Heavens

Sigh! Days have passed by so quickly. I wonder how Uncle's health is? But with the skilled physician Duanmu Rong around, Uncle should recover soon! Tianming was tired from playing and couldn't help but think of Uncle.

These past few days, everyone seems to be very busy. Tianming knows that Duanmu Rong is busy taking care of Gai Nie's health, while Leon doesn't want to keep bothering him, so he just wanders around aimlessly by himself.

"I don't believe it. I'm also a disciple of the Sword Saint. I'll reveal my name as an old man, and I don't believe no one will come to ask me about it or come to play with me, haha."

Tianming then had another idea, feeling very pleased with himself for coming up with this brilliant idea.

These past few days, Tianming has been either fawning over Gao Yue in the village or, having nothing better to do, spreading the word that he is the Sword Saint's disciple.

Everyone could see Tianming's arrogant attitude. Although they didn't say anything on the surface, they all disapproved of Tianming's boastful talk behind his back.

"Hmph! This Qin Tianming boasts every day that he is Gai Nie's disciple, as if he's afraid others won't know."

"Yes, yes, we all know that his master is the Sword Saint Gai Nie, but how skilled is Qin Tianming himself?"

Many people in the crowd had already started talking about Tianming's actions, but they were afraid of Gai Nie's power and dared not say anything or take the lead.

However, everyone knows that there is one person who is not afraid of Qin Tianming, and that person is Shao Yu.

So one noon, everyone encouraged Shaoyu to fight Tianming to demoralize Qin Tianming and let him know that this Mo Family Ghost Village was not easy to bully, and that anyone could stir up trouble.

"Shaoyu, look at this Qin Tianming, he's so arrogant. Ever since he came to our village, none of us have had a single day of peace. You have to teach him a lesson and make him remember it."

"Yeah, Shaoyu, you see, everyone's fed up with Qin Tianming. If you teach him a lesson, we don't believe he'll dare to be so arrogant again." Everyone chimed in, agreeing with the suggestion.

When Shao Yu heard that so many people had come to ask him to deal with Qin Tianming, he couldn't help but feel suspicious of Qin Tianming. He was also curious about who this Qin Tianming was and decided to go and meet him.

Meanwhile, Tianming was talking with Gaoyue, completely unaware that he had gotten himself into trouble and was now in a crisis.

Over here, the crowd had already brought Shao Yu to Qin Tianming's side. When Shao Yu saw Qin Tianming, he felt disdain: "Hmph! This wild brat dares to fight me."

Shao Yu's gaze swept freely over Tianming, making Tianming feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Excuse me, are you Qin Tianming? I've heard you're quite capable; the whole village knows who you are."

Tianming was completely confused, then heard Shaoyu say, "I'm issuing you a challenge now. Do you dare to accept?"

Seeing Shao Yu's confident expression, Tianming was furious, but because he didn't want to lose face in front of Gao Yue, whom he liked, he had no choice but to puff out his chest, pretend to be indifferent, and accept Shao Yu's challenge in a nonchalant manner.

"Alright, then let's have Gao Yue be the referee. A bet is a bet. If you lose, watch your tone of voice in the future, understand?" Shao Yu persisted, and Qin Tian had no choice but to accept.
