No one can be a dog licker

Chapter 244: Nanzhao is determined to win

The room in the Pharmacist Institute was filled with a faint aroma of herbs. Yuan Que sat quietly on the hospital bed, looking through the window at the gloomy sky, as if his thoughts had drifted far away.

At this time, Huo Denglian came in with a bowl of steaming medicine in her hand. She placed the bowl on the table beside the bed, then gently patted Yuan Que's shoulder and said softly:

"You are like an invincible boy, your vitality is very strong! Don't be discouraged, taking good care of your body is the most important thing. I think it won't be long before you can break through to the fourth level."

Yuan Que whispered in a hoarse voice: "Why not take me with you?"

"Ah?" Huo Denglian didn't hear his words clearly and wanted to ask again, but found that he had already picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all, as if this bitter potion was nothing to him.

After drinking the medicine, Yuan Que gently put down the bowl and looked away, obviously not intending to say another word.

Seeing this, Huo Denglian didn't want to continue asking questions. Helplessly, she just sighed, silently picked up the empty bowl, turned around and walked out the door.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I bumped into a broad and strong chest.

Huo Denglian only felt that her arm was gently held steady by the man. She looked carefully and saw a tall and unbelievably handsome man standing in front of her.

"Oh my god, so handsome?" Huo Denglian couldn't help but secretly exclaimed in her heart. For a moment, she was so stunned that she even forgot to move.

It was not until the man let go of Huo Denglian's hand and walked into Yuan Que's room that she came back to her senses as if awakened from a dream.

Lin Yi slowly walked up to Yuan Que who was in a daze, his voice still cold: "What's wrong?"

"You were left behind too?"

Yuan Que turned to look at Lin Yi in surprise, obviously not expecting to see him at this time.

Lin Yi's eyes dimmed slightly, but soon he regained his composure. He threw the realm-breaking pill to Yuan Que and continued, "I'm going on a mission in three days. Will you come with me?"

However, Yuan Que refused without hesitation: "No. Are you familiar with me?"

Faced with Yuan Que’s tough attitude, Lin Yi was not annoyed, but explained in a calm tone: “During the day, let me take you.

But if you can't break through to the peak of the third rank in three days, I can't take you with me. The minimum requirement for participants in this mission is the fourth rank."

"Hey, hey! Why are you acting so high and mighty? You're so awesome that you're even trying to make an exception for the offer?"

When Yuan Que heard this, he immediately showed disdain on his face, and then made an exaggerated vomiting gesture, as if he had seen something disgusting.

Then, he tightly grasped the extremely precious Broken Mirror Pill and unceremoniously ordered them to leave: "Alright, stop pretending here. I already know what's going on. Let's go now."

Facing Yuan Que's rude expulsion, Lin Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said something rare: "Well, it's good to know that I'm awesome.

I have to remind you that you'd better keep your mouth shut when you're around me, or I'll beat you up eight times a day. I've already agreed to that during the day."

Looking at Lin Yi's departing back, Yuan Que spat contemptuously, but the previous gloom was swept away.

………………

On the spacious bus heading to Yingjiang County, Wu Baitian sat leisurely in the window seat, but his eyes would occasionally fall on Zhou Li beside him.

He asked knowingly, "Xiao Zhou, everything between us has been settled. Why are you still following me? Is there anything else you want to finish?"

When Zhou Li heard this, his expression did not change much, he just responded calmly: "The road is straight, it's just along the way."

Wu Baitian nodded in understanding and continued to look at the scenery outside the window.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Li finally spoke: "How do you cooperate?"

"Well, if the city lord dies, someone will have to take his place, but the power of the city lord is not that big, but not that small either. Do you want to be the one?"

Zhou Li shook his head, feeling annoyed by Wu Baitian's evasive way of speaking: "Just say it straight."

Wu Baitian yawned and said lazily, "You are the one who needs my help, but you are making me rush to do it? Zhou Li, it is important to put yourself in the right position. You can't think that you are useful and act like a big shot to everyone."

"The reason your parents died was because they wanted to be good officials. Unfortunately, Nanzhao doesn't need good officials. As for who instigated Zhou Ting, you have seen the information.

You can't overthrow me or kill me, and besides, you don't necessarily have to avenge me. To be honest, I don't care what you want, but now it seems that no one can give it to you except me."

"..."

Wu Baitian ignored Zhou Li's silence and continued, "Eight city lords, I will send you a list of suitable candidates. With your and your wife's connections, can you help?"

"You're dreaming! If it was just Quyuan City, I could do it, but it's impossible for the eight cities."

"What's impossible? I see you just don't want to do it? As a family of Gu insects, the Zhou family has its hands all over Nanzhao, and you married a woman from the Wu clan. Isn't all this to make it easier for you or your uncle to break free and fight back?"

"Oh, of course, your mistress is very nice to you."

Wu Baitian smiled contemptuously and continued, "As for cooperation, I will show my confidence. Do you have to do something too? Then we can talk about it."

Zhou Li wanted to fight for it again: "Eight city lords, all of them have passed through my hands, do you think the higher-ups are blind?"

"You don't need to be involved in everything. I will give you a list of people who are likely to be promoted. As long as you are one of the eight who are selected, it will be fine. Simple enough, isn't it?"

Then, Wu Baitian handed the phone in his hand to Zhou Li and said in an unquestionable tone:

"Give me your private contact information. I'll send it to you after the list is finalized in two days. But before that, if I learn that any city has appointed a new mayor, you will become a waste, and waste has no reason to live."

After saying these words, Wu Baitian paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something important, and then added:

"Oh, I almost forgot. Since we have already talked about this, let me briefly introduce myself. My name is Wu Baitian, the beloved disciple of the God of War, and also the direct descendant of the Poison Saint Wenrenwen.

The great-grandson of the Martial Saint, the niece of the supreme leader of the Black Ice Platform. Okay, you can get off the car now, and don’t follow me anymore…”

Just like that, Wu Baitian remained relaxed as he witnessed Zhou Li obediently getting off the bus and his figure completely disappearing from sight.

After the bus continued driving for more than an hour, Wu Baitian quickly jumped off the bus, then rushed for dozens of kilometers and finally found a secret hiding place.

Then, she skillfully untied the bandages on her body, picked up the dagger without hesitation, and poked the wound that had begun to heal with force, tearing it open completely in an instant.

Then, without changing his expression, he kept squeezing the blood from the wound, as if he wanted to expel all the toxins that might be lurking in the body.

After squeezing out enough blood, Wu Baitian carefully opened a sachet, took out some powder with a strange fragrance, and evenly applied it on her hideous wound.

After completing this series of actions, her heart finally settled down a little.

During the two days and one night she spent with Zhou Li, she was always on high alert, fearing that she would be poisoned to death by Zhou Li by accident.

The so-called ease and leisure were actually just a disguise. In the final analysis, it was because her own strength was too weak and her deterrent power was insufficient.

But come to think of it, no matter how big the loopholes in her acting are, as long as her identity can be kept stable, it won't be a big deal.

She was determined to take Nanzhao.
