Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Chapter 113 It’s really expensive

Taotie's performance attracted the attention of many people. Some people recorded the scene and studied it over and over again, but still could not see through his strength.

After the game, Qiu Puryue had a meal with them, and invited Yu Jin and Chi Feng for the first time. The two monsters nodded in agreement, thinking something, but only ate a little, saying that it was not to their liking. When Qiu Puryue asked them about their preferences, they just shook their heads and did not answer.

"Come to think of it, when I first started communicating with you, I thought you were troublesome." Qiu Puryue held a teacup filled with orange juice, "You were unwilling to communicate..."

In order to make it easier to talk, Qiu Puryue specially chose a private room.

"Why?" Qiu Purue looked at Yu Jin. She could feel that his attitude had softened in recent times.

Yu Jin turned his head and said, "No reason."

Qiu Puryue frowned, and seeing that they were unwilling to speak, she did not force them, and tilted her head and thought: "But... it is true, we don't have a doctor either. If we want to get a ranking, we have to be in the top 16... and we have to play three rounds."

"The next round of eliminations will begin, and we still need to win two big games to guarantee a place..." Qiu Puryue said, sighing, "But now Yu Jin is injured and there is no way to recover. I know nothing about Warcraft... What should I do?"

"..." Chi Feng looked at her quietly, as if thinking about something.

"Let's take it one step at a time." Yin Xihui comforted, "It's no use thinking too much now."

Qiu Puryue rested her chin on the table, pouted and thought: "I'll go back and buy some pills for Yu Jin. I'll see if they can be used by humans, and then ask if there are any professional doctors--"

"We should go to the pet market to have a look." Qin Xiao thought of something and suggested, "There are many magical pets there, they should be good at treating magical beasts or something."

"Then let's go take a look this afternoon." Qiu Puryue was delighted and looked at Yu Jin, "You come with us and take a look at the arm."

Yu Jin looked at his bandaged arm and did not object.

"Do you have a bad relationship with your family?" Chi Feng suddenly asked Qiu Puyue.

Qiu Purue was stunned: "I..."

"I thought it was fine at first." Qiu Puryue scratched his head, smiled embarrassedly, and lowered his eyes, "But the facts don't seem to be what I thought."

Qin Xiao and Yin Xihui looked at Chi Feng and could tell that he had something to say.

Sure enough, Chi Feng paused, as if he had decided something: "Did you know that you have a younger brother?"

"Brother?" Qiu Puryue was stunned. "Is it the child of the woman my father just married?"

"Ah, it was his mother who told me." Chi Feng's eyes were calm, his toes curled up under the table, he was a little nervous, but still forced himself to speak in a calm voice, "Let me kill you within this month."

“…Huh?” Qiu Puryue blinked.

Yin Xi's eyes darkened slightly, and he stared at him inexplicably.

"Or else I will deliberately lose the game so that you can't rank, or instigate a conflict between you and this human." Chi Feng ignored Qiu Purue's surprised look, lowered his eyes, and stared at the plate in front of him, "In short, it's to cause some trouble."

Chi Feng finished speaking without looking at her. He just felt his throat tighten a little. He clasped his fingers together and pursed his lips. For some reason, he felt a little nervous and waited anxiously for her reaction.

"…Wow."

Qiu Puryue was silent for a moment, then sighed, "It's not my father. I'm really surprised."

"So this is why you gave up in the first game?" Qiu Puryue asked him.

“…That’s not the case.” Chi Feng was surprised by her reaction, his throat dry, “It’s because I really feel I can’t beat her.”

Qiu Puryue: ...

"...But thank you for telling me this." Qiu Purue smiled, "But since you told me this, what are you going to do next?"

Chi Feng: "What?"

Qiu Puryue: "Now that you've said that, are you going to fight openly in the next match, or are you going to help me win?"

Qiu Puryue did not show the shock and anxiety that one might imagine. Instead, she smiled brightly, as if she did not think this was a big deal. "You told me this, which proves that you are at least not very averse to me, right? And what was the bargaining chip that the woman offered to ask you to do this for her?"

Chi Feng: "...She poisoned me with that thing called Gu, and if I don't agree, she won't give me the antidote. That thing will make me feel pain all over my body and lose consciousness when the moon is full. I can't transform into a human form, and can only act on instinct."

Qiu Puyue immediately became nervous when she heard this, and quickly looked at Yu Jin: "Do you have it too?"

Yu Jin: "No, I didn't."

Qin Xiao asked in a low voice: "Gu?"

Mo Hanyu immediately thought of his past, looked at him worriedly, held his hand, and wanted to comfort him.

Unexpectedly, Qin Xiao gave him a strange look, as if he didn't remember his past, but his expression was a little gloomy: "Are you scared?"

Mo Hanyu was stunned, then slowly shook his head, without mentioning: "No."

But Qin Xiao looked at his expression, knew what he was thinking, smiled, and pinched his fingers: "It happened a long time ago."

Seeing him like this, Mo Hanyu did not feel relieved at all. Instead, he tensed up and looked a little sad.

Qiu Purue and Yin Xihui did not notice the subtle communication between them and were still thinking about what to do.

"You will feel very uncomfortable, right?" Qiu Puyue frowned, "What should I do..."

"You don't have to be like this." Seeing their reaction, Chi Feng felt relieved and said calmly, "I'm not telling you this to ask you to help me get rid of it, but just to prove my sincerity."

"Then why do you suddenly want to show your sincerity to me?" Qiu Puryue was puzzled.

Chi Feng glanced at Qin Xiao: "I just don't want to be your enemy."

Qiu Puryue followed his gaze and saw Qin Xiao. She understood instantly and stopped struggling. She nodded in agreement: "Really..."

Yu Jin glanced at him and said nothing.

"Please stretch out your hand." Qin Xiao asked Chi Feng to stretch out his hand.

Chi Feng was stunned for a moment, but did not object and obediently stretched out his arm.

Qin Xiao grabbed his wrist, sent the Qi in, explored it for a circle, and then took it back.

"How is it?" Qiu Puryue looked at him hopefully.

Facing everyone's expectant gazes, Qin Xiao twitched his lips and said, "I don't know."

"what?"

"Every profession has its own specialty." Qin Xiao turned his head and sat down. "I don't know much about Gu. Although I know someone, he may not be here... I just want to try to find out with Qi."

"So the answer is no." Yin Xihui spread his hands.

Qin Xiao nodded.

"Even you can't do it..." It was impossible for Qiu Puryue not to be disappointed, but she didn't dwell on it for long. After comforting Chi Feng with a few words, she said she would go and ask. In a big place like Luoyun, someone must have heard of it and maybe they could find a way.

After eating and drinking, they rested for a while and then let Chi Feng take Taotie back. Qiu Puyue was going to go to the pet market with Qin Xiao and the others. When they were wondering how to go, Mo Hanshang suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"Didn't dad tell you not to run around alone?" As soon as Mo Hanshang appeared, he reached out and grabbed Mo Hanyu's collar and lifted him up with one hand.

"I'm not alone!" Mo Hanyu was caught off guard and immediately resisted, "Put me down."

Mo Hanshang glanced at Qin Xiao with a complicated look, as if he wanted to say something, but Mo Hanyu's resistance was too fierce, so he had no choice but to let him go.

"Congratulations, you won today." Mo Hanshang looked at Qiu Puryue, but didn't see the monster that was devoured in an instant. He was a little surprised, "Where is the monster?"

"He went back first." Qiu Puryue replied with a smile, "We plan to take him to the pet market. I heard that there are mainly magical pets there, so I thought he would be good at treating magical beasts."

As he said this, he pointed at Yu Jin.

Mo Hanshang nodded slightly: "Then I'll take you there, the pet market is quite close to here."

……

Chong City was built in the outer city. It was wider than Yun City, with a large flow of people and was noisy. The roars of various monsters and the sounds of people talking and shouting mixed together, making it particularly noisy.

Qin Xiao took a quick look at the monsters on both sides of the street. There were more monsters here than in Rongcheng. Qiu Puyue was dazzled and rubbed her eyes after a while.

"...This is the first time I've seen such a scene." Qiu Puryue stared at a cage of pure white little monsters on the side of the road with curiosity and blinked.

Mo Hanshang took them to a well-known magic pet clinic. After Qiu Purue told them her needs, several people in white robes surrounded Yu Jin, looked at her, did some simple examinations, and told her the price.

When Qiu Puryue heard the price, her face turned pale.

"...So expensive." Mo Hanyu exclaimed.

Qin Xiao nodded in agreement.

"First of all, this is the capital, and the prices are higher than those in small towns. And he's a monster that's going to compete, right? You don't want him to get sick and affect the competition later, right?" A man with a scar on his face explained to her, "Even if you use elixirs to treat it, you have to use good ones, right? And he has internal injuries, and if you want to recover in a short time without leaving any root cause, it will definitely cost money."

Qiu Pu Yue also understood this principle and nodded to show that she understood. Then she pursed her lips in confusion, not looking at Yu Jin, thinking about something.

Qin Xiao thought about the price the man had mentioned, estimated it, and found that even if he added the money he brought with him, it would still not be enough.

When Mo Hanshang heard the price, he frowned and looked at Qiu Puryue: "Do you have enough money?"

Before he finished speaking, he knew the answer by looking at Qiu Puryue's expression.

The scarred man was obviously used to such hesitation, so he turned and left without urging them. The pretty girl was left to discuss the specific drug prices and treatment plans with them.

Qin Xiao didn't understand this at all, so he didn't force himself and left halfway through listening.

Standing at the entrance of the clinic, looking at the busy street, Qin Xiao's eyes became much duller.

"What's wrong?" Mo Hanyu walked out and asked him.

"I don't understand." Qin Xiao told the truth.

Mo Hanyu laughed and said nothing more.

After a while, there was a sound behind him. Qin Xiao just turned his head and saw Yu Jin carrying Qiu Puyue out like a chicken.

Qin Xiao: ...

Qiu Puyue wanted to struggle: "Listen to me——"

"There's nothing to say." Yu Jin interrupted her and glanced at Qin Xiaomo Hanyu, "You don't have that much spare money. Even if you borrow money for treatment today, what about the next one? What about the one after that? How much do you want to borrow? And how are you going to pay it back?"

"This..." Qiu Puyue was speechless, "This is none of your business."

"I don't care." Yu Jin put her down unhappily, "I'm going back."

"Where are you going back to?!" Qiu Puryue quickly grabbed him and said, "Listen to me, I just want to borrow some money, it's no big deal—"

"I think you've lost your mind." Yu Jin was a little annoyed, tapped her forehead, and didn't estimate the strength, directly tapping her to the ground, "Don't say anything more, I heal very quickly, I will be fine before the next game."

Having said that, he flapped his wings and ran away.

“Hey——” Qiu Puryue covered her forehead with her hands. Before she could reach out her hands, she could no longer see Yu Jin. “We can go to other houses to have a look…”

Qiu Puryue's voice became smaller and smaller. At the end, she felt a little aggrieved. She wiped her eyes and muttered softly, "What if this is the only one that's expensive?"

"...His arm is injured too badly, it doesn't matter which hospital he goes to for treatment." Mo Hanyu hesitated, but still said it.

Qiu Puryue raised her eyelids and gave him a sinister look.

Mo Hanyu closed his mouth.

"Didn't you get treatment last time?" Qin Xiao was puzzled.

"Last time, the injuries were not serious, just flesh wounds." Qiu Puryue touched his neck, stood up, and sighed, "I'll think of a solution."

Mo Hanshang walked out of the house and glanced at Mo Hanyu: "Dad just told me that he has something to talk to you about."

Mo Hanyu frowned: "What?"

"To be precise, it's mother who's looking for you." Mo Hanshang touched his neck and looked at him, "Come on, come back with me first, and I'll bring you back later."

Mo Hanyu was puzzled. He glanced at Qin Xiao and wanted to say something.

Mo Hanshang gave Qin Xiao a cyan bracelet: "Wear this, if anything happens, press this button and I will come to you."

Qin Xiao was stunned. Although he didn't understand his intention, he still took it. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Mo Hanshang waved his hand and said goodbye to Mo Hanyu.

"...Then let's continue watching?" Yin Xihui looked at Qiu Puryue.

They walked around for a while and asked in several stores. As Mo Hanyu said, the prices were all similar. Some external ointments alone were ridiculously expensive.

"It would be great if Tian Miao were here." Qiu Puryue came out of the clinic again, suddenly feeling a little emotional.

"He hasn't treated any monsters yet, right?" Yin Xihui asked.

"You can try it then." Qiu Puryue shrugged and sighed, "Really..."

Qin Xiao was looking at the roadside vendors nonchalantly, but suddenly his eyes fixed, he narrowed them questioningly, and stopped.

"...What's wrong?" Yin Xihui took a few steps and found that Qin Xiao did not follow him, so he turned back. Seeing him like this, he couldn't help but ask.

"...Do you think that person looks like Tian Miao?" Qin Xiao asked, pointing his finger.

Yin Xihui: “Ah?”

Yin Xihui was puzzled. He looked in the direction of his finger, but saw a crowd of people there and could not see clearly where he was pointing.

"At the stall selling scorpions by the river." Seeing that he was confused, Qin Xiao explained in more detail.

Yin Xihui looked again, squinting his eyes for a long time, and finally found the stall that Qin Xiao mentioned. It was ten miles away from them, and the people over there were like sesame seeds and could not be seen clearly at all.

Yin Xihui had a complicated expression.

Qin Xiao didn't explain. He grabbed Qiu Puyue's collar as he tried to move forward and waved at him, "Go and take a look."

Qiu Puyue was caught off guard and had her neck strangled. She almost couldn't breathe. Before she could understand what was happening, she was dragged to the ground.

Yin Xihui looked at Qiu Puryue's ferocious face, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of pity. He followed without stopping.
